Lu Zhi and Wang Ze suddenly jumped out, which not only surprised Cui Zhang, but also surprised Gao Ming.

"Why did these two guys pop out?"

At this time, Gao Ming suddenly thought that it seemed that the geographical advantages of the Lu family were the same as those of the Cui family, they were all on the left by the Grand Canal and the Bohai Sea on the right, that is to say, the shipyard was also a fragrant bun for the Lu family!

"Now it's interesting!"

There is competition to make progress, this saying Gao Ming is very agreeable, and it is also a good thing for the Lu family to participate in the ranks of competing shipyards, so Gao Ming intends to take a wait-and-see attitude.

"Although it is not as good as the Zheng family, it should not be much worse, if there are two shipyards, it must be better than a single monopoly!"

In Gao Ming's view, one more shipyard can not only speed up the progress of his industrial plan, but also avoid the price explosion caused by the monopoly, and most importantly, he only produces technology, and there is no difference between giving one and two.

"Now it's up to the Cui family to decide!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately set his eyes on Cui Zhang, who was standing behind.

At this time, Cui Zhangzheng was angry because of Lu Zhi and Wang Ze's horizontal insertion, and when he suddenly saw Gao Ming looking at him, he was shocked, and his face suddenly showed a trace of joy.

"I talked to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday, how can I go back on my word with His Royal Highness the Prince? What am I anxious about? ”

Thinking of this, Cui Zhang's expression suddenly became relaxed, and he saw him slowly come out of the official queue, and then bowed to Gao Ming with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen is also willing to share his worries for His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Hearing Cui Zhang's words, almost all the courtiers turned their eyes to Cui Zhang, their expressions full of surprise.

Qinghe Cui's family also took refuge in the prince?

There are all smart people present, of course they understand that something as important as steam is not something that Gao Ming can give to people casually, and now that someone from the Qinghe Cui family has also come forward, then the answer is obvious.

As if to prove everyone's guess, Cui Chang spoke again.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Wechen heard that His Royal Highness has established a royal academy in Jinzhou, which is benevolent government, and Wechen admires it very much, so Wechen asks His Highness to allow Wechen to establish a Tang Royal Academy in Yingzhou, Qizhou, Jizhou and Cangzhou!"

"......" As soon as Cui Zhang's words fell, almost all the officials gasped.

Qinghe Cui's action is really big enough!

Everyone has heard of the Royal Academy in Jinzhou, even if it is not an exaggeration to call it the first academy of the Tang Dynasty, but now the Qinghe Cui clan said that they will establish a Tang Royal Academy in Yingzhou, Qizhou, Jizhou and Cangzhou, which is undoubtedly a big sum.

At this time, everyone no longer doubted that Qinghe Cui's family was clearly trying to take refuge in Gao Ming, otherwise it would be impossible to give such a big gift!

Looking at the shocked expressions of the people around him, Cui Zhang suddenly smiled slightly, and his heart was even more proud.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be satisfied now!"

Cui Zhang was right, Gao Ming was really satisfied, so as soon as his words fell, Gao Ming laughed.

"Hahahaha, Lord Cui can share the worries of the country, this is a great thing, you plan to establish four royal academies, I agreed!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" Cui Chang bowed to Gao Ming again.

"No need to be polite!" Gao Ming smiled and waved towards Cui Zhang, and said: "Lord Cui is indeed a person worthy of entrustment, a person like this naturally has to add some burden to him, the shipyard matter, I think it is very appropriate to hand it over to Lord Cui, what do you think?" ”

As he spoke, Gao Ming glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji.

After seeing Gao Ming's color, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately understood, and he saluted Gao Ming again.

"Lao Chen also thinks that Cui Tingshi is the most suitable candidate!"

The name of the eldest grandson Wuji, the "first brother" of the court, is not covered, and when he opened his mouth, a group of officials who were watching immediately stood up and responded with their mouths.

"What the eldest grandson said is right, Weichen also thinks that Cui Tingshi can take on this important responsibility!"

"Weichen seconded!"

"Weichen seconded!"

Looking at the large group of officials who suddenly stood up, Gao Ming smiled again and nodded.

"Okay, since everyone said so, the matter of such a shipyard has been decided, Cui Zhang, after the next dynasty, you will go directly to the Ministry of Military Industry to find Liu Tao, and ask him to hand over all the craftsmen who were in charge of making steam ships last time to you and bring them back to Cangzhou, and build the shipyard as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Weichen obeys!"

With Gao Ming's letter, Cui Zhang suddenly smiled even more happily, and he couldn't help but cast a smug look at Lu Zhi and Wang Ze.

"Fight with me? You're still young! ”

At this time, looking at Cui Zhang's smug appearance, Lu Zhi and Wang Ze's old faces suddenly froze, and their hearts were secretly scolded.

"This guy is going to tear down the old bottom of all the families!"

Gao Ming established a royal academy before, which had already made all the family gate lords feel threatened, and now Cui Zhang's opening is four, which is not a joke.

It is conceivable that after more than ten years, the students trained by these royal academies are likely to break the family's monopoly on talents in one fell swoop, and at that time, the family may really have to compete with the poor in the court.

"It seems that the Cui family is really ruined for this steam shipyard, but is it really worth it?"

At this time, the question suddenly appeared in the minds of all officials, but soon, most people came to a conclusion.

Value!

Because even if the Cui family does not build these four royal academies, Gao Ming will build more royal academies in the future in order to cultivate talents, but the family still has to compete with the cold family, so it is better to be generous at this time.

In this way, not only can you sell a favor of Gaochuang, but at the same time, it can also be easy to attract talents, after all, this era still pays attention to "heaven and earth".

After thinking about this clearly, Lu Zhi's eyes immediately became firm, and he immediately bowed towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen also wants to establish royal academies in Fanyang, Youzhou and Yizhou, and I implore His Highness to agree!"

As soon as Lu Zhi's words fell, Wang Ze also reacted, and also bowed to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen also wants to establish a royal academy in Hengzhou, Daizhou and Taiyuan Mansion, and I implore His Highness to agree!"

Looking at Lu Zhi and Wang Ze with serious faces, Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then grinned.

"I am naturally very happy that you want to establish the Royal Academy and cultivate talents for my Datang, but I have already promised Cui Tingshi about the shipyard, even if you want to build it, you have to wait until the Cui family's steam shipyard is built, is this okay?"

"Okay!" Lu Zhi replied without hesitation: "Wechen can send the family's craftsmen to help Cui Tingshi build a shipyard, and it's okay if our Lu family's shipyard is postponed!" ”

"So is our Wang family!" Wang Ze said.

Hearing the words of the two, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"Since you all said so, then so be it, presumably Cui Tingshi will be very happy, right?"

"Uh......"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Cui Chang was dumbfounded again.

Are these two ready to help? is clearly preparing to steal the master, and listening to the prince's meaning, it is not okay not to steal!

But looking at Gao Ming's "gentle" gaze, Cui Zhang could only squeeze out a smile.

"Wechen...... Happy, hehe......"

At this moment, Cui Zhang suddenly realized that laughing was also a very painful thing.
