The student was very young, under twenty, but he was extremely agile. From the details, he guessed that Xiao Yuan had a very high status, so he took this opportunity to seek benefits for many scholars.

He said: "Yiyang Academy, a place where literary style is prevalent, everything is fine, but sometimes, it is difficult for a group of students to take a bath and get rid of filth."

"Oh? Why is this?" Xiao Yuan was very interested.

The student said, "Young Master doesn't know that there is no bathroom at all in the university. In summer, we can still go to the lake behind, but when the weather is cold, many of us spend a winter dirty. Sometimes, some students can't help it. After washing the cold water, they will suddenly get cold."

"And, the university explicitly prohibits us from burning hot water."

After hearing what he said, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look at Cai Jie: "Is what he said true?"

"This..." Cai Jie hesitated for a moment and returned respectfully: "Report to the young master, the school does prohibit private fires, but this is also to prevent fires. There are too many students, and sometimes there is a mess and there is no time to deal with it."

"I'm asking about the bathroom." Xiao Yuan pointed out the topic.

"This, this, when the Yiyang Academy was built, the villain did not come here yet. The students also expressed their opinions on the bathroom. This is a thing..." Cai Jie was cautious and looked embarrassed again.

When the student saw that the Grand Secretary called himself a villain, he was shocked and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuan again, secretly guessing his identity.

Xiao Yuan understood Cai Jie's meaning. After pondering for a moment, he glanced at the Yiyang County Magistrate and said, "From the Yiyang Treasury, I allocated some money for him. There are so many students in the school, how can there be no bathroom? When I came, I saw that the students were sleeping. Isn't there an open space nearby? It was built there and construction started as soon as possible."

"Yes, the villain took the order." Zeng An also responded quickly.

"In addition, in winter, what hot water can be provided, try to provide it as much as possible. People will burn hot water to keep warm in winter, and the institution should be reasonable. As for the students' private fire, for safety reasons, what should be prohibited should be prohibited." Xiao Yuan said again.

"Yes." Cai Jie responded immediately.

Seeing that the matter was finalized, the student was undoubtedly happy and hurriedly bowed to Xiao Yuan again, and said excitedly: "Young Master's words are really a great kindness."

Xiao Yuan raised his hand to stop him, then asked with a smile: "By the way, what do you think of the food in Xuefu?"

The student immediately said: "The food is very good, except for the bathroom and everything in the institution is impeccable."

You should know that the times are different. The countries are fighting for hegemony and years of war, there is no meat in ordinary people's homes. It is a luxury to eat it once a month, but there are two or three meals a month in the school.

Xiao Yuan seemed quite satisfied with his answer, but pointed at Cai Jie and asked with a smile: "What do you think of your Grand Secretary? For example, his knowledge, his character, and whether he is seeking fame."

He asked this because the previous Grand Secretary of Yiyang had problems.

When Cai Jie heard this, he became nervous, but Xiao Yuan was right next to him, and he didn't dare to wink. He could only sweat secretly and pray that the student would never talk nonsense.

Fortunately, he has no bad record and is also dealt with properly in charge of Yiyang's education. The student also said truthfully: "Sir Cai is knowledgeable and talented, and has high moral character. Students such as us respect him very much."

Hearing this, Cai Jie couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and smiled and said, "Where is it, this student praised it, I am ashamed."

Xiao Yuan smiled and didn't ask any more questions, then said, "You go, the food is almost cold. You can report any problems between the students in the future to the school."

"Yes, I'm leaving." The student gave a gift and returned to his seat.

When he returned, his companion could not wait to ask, "How?"

"The guess is true. That young master is indeed very high in status. Even the county magistrate and the grandson must call themselves villains in front of him, and they are very respectful." The student said with a smile.

"Oh!?" The companion was also shocked and said in a low voice: "Then, this is someone from above."

"Of course, when I asked the bathroom just now, the young master nodded, and Yiyang's side would have to do it right away." The student said excitedly.

"Really!" The companions were also happy because this was a benefit for all students.

The news soon spread among the students. There was a chaotic whisper in the cafeteria, followed by a sound of joy.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but say to Cai Jie: "I know you famous scholars, but you should be more reasonable and treat the scholars well."

"Yes, villain remember." Cai Jie hurriedly returned.

"Okay, the food is almost done, let's go." Xiao Yuan put down his bowls and chopsticks and called on several people to leave here.

After lunch, the group was still walking in the school. The environment here was very good. Looking at the scenery after late autumn, Xiao Yuan casually said as he walked: "Do you know why you study?"

This question is difficult to answer.

Cai Jie hesitated for a moment and did not dare to respond easily.

Zeng An said tentatively: "A scholar seeks to study and achieve fame."

"Of course, this is certain, nor is it deny." Xiao Yuan said: "But the original intention cannot be changed."

"Why study is to establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, to inherit the unique knowledge for the past sages, to continue the cultural context, to open peace for all ages and the rise of the country."

Hearing these words, Cai Jie was shocked and immediately said seriously: "Young master's golden words and jade words have made the villain enlightened. These words can be included in the teaching book."

"Hey? It's not as exaggerated as you said. This original intention is also the heart of the scholars in the world." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.

Zeng An took the opportunity to flatter him again and said: "Young master's literary and military skills are far superior to those of the monarchs of all countries. Not only is he the most powerful lord today, his literary talent has also made many people admire him."

"I can't afford this compliment by Lord Zeng." Xiao Yuan smiled.

He walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, watching the surrounding scenery from time to time, and he became more and more emperor-like.

When Zeng An heard this, he hurriedly said, "Young Master, this is not a deliberate compliment. You don't know that your writing has been praised by everyone in poetry, but it is actually a quatrain for the past thousand years. When it comes to martial arts, our Qin army soldiers, a million people, can knock on the gate to wipe out the world. Who dares to compete with him? His literary talent, and the kings in the world are even less than 100 or 100 yuan."

"I deeply agree with Mr. Zeng's words." Cai Jie echoed: "Young master's poems and ink, and the villain was lucky enough to read them, and I was amazed at that time."

"Okay, okay, a great master, and have you learned to flatter? Where is your noble character?" Xiao Yuan kept walking.
