Chapter 1380 is actually not difficult
Can I be unreasonable when I get older?
Fang Jun said innocently: "You are just saying that it will be difficult for the college to gain a foothold after it is completed, and you have not asked the younger generation how to build this college...Furthermore, father, when my son showed you this drawing, you seemed to have no idea. I asked my son how to build this college.”
Fang Xuanling blushed. When Fang Jun showed him the drawing a few days ago, he just glanced at it and ignored it.
The most beautiful scenery in the world is a mirage, but it is always elusive. These hastily drawn drawings are pieced together to reveal a huge academy that will surely be unprecedented in the past and present.
However, the funds, manpower, and material resources required are enough to empty the empire's treasury. This is a strategy to subjugate the country. Forget about His Majesty Li Er not agreeing, he, the chief minister, will not agree first.
It's just that he was a gentle man and couldn't bear to say bluntly in front of Kong Yingda and Yu Ming that such a magnificent college was just a castle in the air. That was too cruel. Although he was also full of longing for this academy drawn on paper, his reason told him that he must let this academy just stay on paper...
But what does his son say now?
Can he build such a college?
"Tell me, what do you think?"
A loud and generous figure came from the door, shocking everyone in the room and jumping up from the chair reflexively.
His Majesty Li Er, dressed in regular clothes, walked in with his hands behind his back and a gloomy expression. Behind him were Prince Li Chengqian, several chamberlains, and servants of the Fang family.
Apparently, His Majesty Li Er paid an unexpected visit and did not allow his servants to inform him. Just by seeing that he could ask such a sentence, one knew that His Majesty had been sneaking outside the door for a long time, listening to the conversations of several people.
This is embarrassing. I was secretly discussing in my study how to put such a "strategy of subjugation" into an executable front, but the emperor overheard me...
After all, Fang Jun was young and reacted quickly. He quickly stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Wei Chen has met your Majesty... Your Majesty clearly knows that Wei Chen was just bored in his spare time, so he drew a few sketches, imagining that if he could make this place southeast of Chang'an City An undeveloped area was built with pavilions and palaces, and a college was established to recreate the grandeur of the Imperial Academy of the Han Dynasty... Who would have expected that several elders took it seriously and grabbed the ministers to ask this and that..."
His Majesty Li Er was already furious when he heard that several people were once again discussing a college that could empty the national treasury and lead to the collapse of the country. But now he was stunned on the spot after hearing Fang Jun's words.
Wasn't the pot thrown away too quickly?
The old guys were even speechless. Yu Ming glared at Fang Jun and thought to himself that this boy is really shameless!
Kong Yingda's eyelids jumped with anger and he glared at Fang Xuanling: Look at the good son you taught!
Fang Xuanling's eyelids drooped. He was indeed a candidate for an official position. He even cheated his father. He was so evil and shameless, and he did a great job...
His Majesty Li Er almost laughed angrily, stepped forward and kicked Fang Jun, and cursed: "You can change the rudder when the wind blows, and you can use clever words to persuade others. Do you have any character at all, you bastard? Tell me how to build this college so as not to drag down the national treasury." If you do well, you will be rewarded, if you do not do well... Didn't someone impeach you and ask you to go to Qiongzhou to serve as an official? Then I will approve that person's impeachment."
With that said, he went straight to the main seat and sat down at Dama Jindao, staring at Fang Jun with unkind eyes.
Fang Jun gritted his teeth, you are the emperor so you can do whatever you want? It is indeed a feudal society with no human rights...
When Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda saw that His Majesty Li Er didn't seem to be angry at all, they felt relieved and quickly ordered the maid to serve tea. His Majesty Li Er waved his hand: "Sit down and listen to this whimsical boy talk about the Book of Heaven."< br>
Yu Ming's status was aloof. After sitting down, he smiled and said: "If this matter can really come true, it will be like opening up thousands of miles of land for Your Majesty and laying the foundation for a prosperous age for the Tang Dynasty. I am very happy and congratulatory."
His Majesty Li Er seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "It's too early for Yu Ming to say it. If we can't control it, let alone talk about a prosperous age. It will be good if the country is not destroyed."
He was just worried that such an academy would bring down the empire's treasury. As for the political crisis that the four of them had previously worried about, they dismissed it. The way of politics lies in balance, but there is never a true balance. It is always in a dynamic state of ebb and flow. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
No matter how powerful this academy is, it can only be the cornerstone of the empire. It may temporarily lose control and cause chaos in the government, but it will never become the source of change in the government.
On the contrary, the talents from all walks of life cultivated by such a college will become the cornerstone of the prosperity of the world. This is what His Majesty Li Er values!
Fang Jun already had a draft in his mind, otherwise why would he draw such a draft and trick a great scholar like Kong Yingda with deep connections into it?
Therefore, he wrote lightly: "In fact, the solution is very simple. You can set up a separate organization to undertake the preparation and construction of the college. It will be responsible for its own profits and losses without asking for money from the national treasury."
There was a sudden silence in the room.
The four people stared at Fang Jun with their eyes widened, with expressions of surprise on their faces...
Prince Li Chengqian winked at Fang Jun repeatedly, looking anxious. He was obviously very worried that Fang Jun's "nonsense" would anger the emperor, and he might as well give him a beating.
Fang Junze quietly gave him a "reassuring" gesture, asking him to calm down.
His Majesty Li Er plucked his ears in an indecent manner and looked at Fang Xuanling sideways in confusion: "Ai Qing, did I hear you correctly?"
Fang Xuanling couldn't laugh or cry. She wanted to drag this unreliable son out and give him a good beating. Hundreds of millions of dollars were involved, but you actually said you wouldn't ask for money from the treasury? I don’t care if you invest all your wealth in it, but the problem is, even if our family is rich, how can we support such a national project?
Hearing His Majesty's question, he said helplessly: "If I don't have tinnitus... Your Majesty probably heard it right."
Kong Yingda is a complete novice when it comes to economics. He is obsessed with learning, so how can he have the mind to care about mundane things? Hearing this, he looked confused and said nothing, but he thought in his heart that the house owner is so rich?
His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun and said angrily: "This is simply nonsense! Even if such a separate organization is really established, how can such an astronomical amount of money be earned?"
Fang Jun said proudly: "Of course others can't do it, but Wei Chen must still be able to do it!"
"...!"
His Majesty Li Er found himself speechless with such arrogant words...
After all, this kid in front of me is known as the "God of Wealth", and he can gather a lot of money in the palm of his hand for his own business!
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er actually felt that if he let this boy give it a try, he might actually be able to do it...
Yu Ming, who had been silent until now, nodded and said: "If the construction of this college is really put on the agenda, then please allow Your Majesty to allow Yu Ming to participate in it. I don't want official positions, wealth, or money. Invite your name and be willing to devote your efforts and participate in the process of creating this college. After it is completed, you will retire with success. ”
His Majesty Li Er was astonished. Didn't Yu Ming never participate in the mortal world? Why did you first help Fang Jun build Huating Town in Jiangnan, and now support Fang Jun in building this college?
However, he naturally had no reason to refuse. The Yuming family were all outstanding men of the time. They were well versed in ancient and modern times, and were involved in the fields of yin and yang, arithmetic, and other fields. With them joining, it would be natural to get twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, it is still unclear whether this college will be built or not...
Fang Jun nodded at Mr. Yu Ming: "It's a wise decision. Mr. Yu Ming will definitely gain a lot from the construction process of the college."
Yu Ming does not care about money and fame, and the construction of the college will be designed to incorporate countless new technologies, such as arithmetic, physics, geometry, metallurgy... This is the "Way of Heaven and Man" that Yu Ming is tirelessly pursuing. It is obvious that Yu Ming takes a quick look Then he saw through Fang Jun's real intention behind building this college.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Fang Jun, who had a plain face. He always felt that this boy was too evil. After thinking about it, he asked: "Tell me, how do you plan to make money?"
In the final analysis, whether to build this college or not is still a matter of money. As long as the national treasury is not drained, His Majesty Li Er can fully support it.
Fang Jun spread his hands with a puzzled look on his face: "It's just making money, so what's the difficulty? In fact, the easiest way is to become a college institution and affiliate it under the 'Eastern Datang Trading Company', and the funding problem will be solved immediately. As long as Your Majesty Agreed, those aristocratic families and civil and military ministers who have shares don’t have the guts to object, right?”
His Majesty Li Er thought for a while and nodded: "Whoever dares to object can be kicked out."
Fang Jun sweated profusely.
It is indeed a feudal society. Not only does it have no human rights, but even private property is not protected. People invested real money in it, but you say nothing and everything is gone...(End of Chapter)
