"The year before last, Yun had already started inviting well-learned scholars from various places to teach at the academy. For example, Mr. Huai'an, a famous great scholar, was invited with much effort by Yun."
"The first batch of students, the pioneering teachers have all been recruited, and all the preliminary preparations are completed, just waiting for Yun to pass as an Advanced Scholar and formally start the courses."
"Teacher, this academy is not an impulsive action by Yun; it is a decision he made after years of careful consideration, and he has put in a considerable amount of effort. Perhaps you are right, Yun could achieve great things if he were in the court. But as the Mountain Master at the academy, I believe he can still nurture many officials who will contribute to the imperial court and Dasu. Isn't that quite good as well?"
Qi Chan looked at her, then at the painting on the wall.
