"Young Master Fan Xian is right."
He then looked at Su Yu and asked with a smile.
"But Brother Su, do you mind that this academy is a bit far away?"
"If Brother Su is unwilling, I, Wang, can choose another location..."
He knew that once the academy founded by his brother Su opened...
Given his fame, there must be many young men from Kyoto who would want him.
Young masters from various prestigious families also flocked there because of its reputation.
And they are the academy's main suckers, no, its main source of income.
However, if the chosen location is too remote, traveling to and from Kyoto will be troublesome.
Not only is the mountain road bumpy, but life in the mountains would probably be boring.
There were no brothels along the Liujing River, nor any lively street performances.
I have no idea what these young masters and noblemen are like.
Can you endure loneliness and hardship?
And would those powerful and wealthy people really be willing to let their precious children leave the capital?
After all, if it were in one's own private school, or other ordinary academies in Kyoto...
Then you won't have these worries anymore.
Su Yu shook her head and said calmly.
"No problem."
"That's it."
Whether pursuing knowledge or seeking enlightenment, it will always be difficult and arduous.
Only then will the world realize how precious the opportunity to study is.
Otherwise, they would have opened the academy right in front of their house.
Wouldn't that just bring in another bunch of spoiled brats to play house?
Although Su Yu said he didn't discriminate when accepting apprentices.
But I don't want to waste my energy on such a useless person.
It's better to give the limited opportunities to those who are more eager to learn.
Besides, being remote is good; it's peaceful.
This will help the disciples concentrate on their cultivation.
They should be allowed to go home once a month or every three months.
Since we're on the topic, let's talk about Su Yu, Wang Qinian, and Fan Xian.
They also discussed in detail some matters concerning the establishment and promotion of the academy.
Occasionally, I would ask the blind man for his opinion.
It's hard to say about other things, but he's faster than Versace at estimating wages and construction time.
In addition, Su Yu thought about the name of the academy.
In addition to the Penglai Academy that he had previously proposed.
It is said that the purpose of this teaching is to take the sacred mountains overseas and impart the Daoist teachings.
We can also brainstorm together and come up with a good one.
So, Fan Xian, Wang Qinian, and the blind man each contributed a few more.
Fan Xian:
"Baichuan Academy."
Huaqing Academy.
"Spring and Autumn Academy".
Wang Qinian:
"Danbo Academy".
"Puyu Academy".
"Genius Academy"
blind:
"Nanqing Academy".
"Shanshui Academy".
"College."
……
One month later.
Wang Qinian began to work on the construction of the academy.
While running around Kyoto to complete the procedures.
The wasteland in the mountains has been purchased, and construction has begun.
However, the construction of the academy is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
It will take at least three months.
Meanwhile, the publicity campaign has also begun recently.
It was still Wang Qinian who brought Versace along.
Before it even started, people came to the gate of Su Yu's residence to ask to become his apprentices.
Dressed in gorgeous attire, she exuded a noble and elegant air.
Upon entering the residence, he smiled at Su Yu and respectfully bowed with his hands clasped.
"Mr. Su, Chengze has come to visit you."
Su Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly.
"The Second Prince has already moved out of the palace?"
The second prince nodded.
"That day I did as the gentleman said."
"I mentioned the matter of 893 becoming an apprentice to my father nine times."
"As you predicted, Father immediately agreed."
"Permit me to leave the capital and establish my own government office."
The second prince's eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Everything was moved into the palace yesterday."
"Everything is in order."
"Therefore, Chengze has come today to formally become a disciple."
"I hope you will not despise Chengze for his dullness of talent."
"Chengze will make up for his shortcomings with diligence."
Su Yu smiled faintly.
Li Chengze's words were both tactful and humble.
With his intelligence, he certainly wouldn't be a dull-witted person.
The matter of taking him as a disciple had already been agreed upon beforehand.
Su Yu would naturally not break his promise.
However, he still took the opportunity to perform a system check on the Second Prince.
Name: Li Chengze
[Age: 12 years old]
[Identity: Second Prince of Nanqing]

[Talent Levels: Chess Talent - Unparalleled, Literary Talent - High (Low, Medium, High, Unparalleled)]
[Introduction: He has loved poetry and books since childhood, is intelligent from a young age, and possesses a deep and calculating nature.]
Su Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled faintly.
The new apprentice is actually a genius in the art of Go!
His literary talent is also exceptional.
Excellent, another hidden surprise!
Without further ado, Su Yu immediately agreed to the Second Prince's request to become his disciple.
"Ah."
"Let's enter the manor tomorrow and formally perform the apprenticeship ceremony."
