Xinheng Academy was modelled after the modest schoolyards that were prevalent in the countryside. The building sourced by the left prime minister, who was in charge of the project promoting education, was an old farm estate owned by a nobleman years ago, which had since fallen into ruin after he had been convicted of a crime during the late emperor's reign.
