Gao Ming knows very well that no matter what kind of family they are, what they want is nothing more than to make their family prosperous for a long time, and in order to achieve this goal, both land and monopoly talents are necessary means.

But these two methods are useless to the country, so Gao Ming came up with the land year restriction and the Tang Royal Academy.

The land year limit can break the land annexation of the family gatekeepers, while the Datang Academy can break their monopoly on talents.

Gao Ming's purpose is known to the family gate valve, but they are not in a hurry, because they still have an advantage.

Although the implementation of the land year limit can cause them a lot of trouble in a short period of time, and even make them lose a lot of the land they have already annexed, it is not enough to make them break their bones.

Although the Royal Academy can cultivate many talents from humble backgrounds, it is not an overnight thing.

And even if the Royal Academy really cultivated a lot of talents, it was impossible for the emperor to only use the cold family, and not to abandon the children of the family, at most, the two were equal to each other.

In all dynasties, the most important thing for emperors is balance, and these family valves have long figured this out, so no matter what, there will always be a place for them in the court.

What they need now is to find an important alternative to land, so that they can provide enough money and material support for the family.

For example, the Fan Yang Lu clan, what they now use to replace the land is the salt farm established in cooperation with Gao Ming.

With this salt farm with an annual output of several million stones, even if the Lu family has no land, it will not have much impact on their family, it can be said that the Fanyang salt field is the new pillar of the Lu family!

With the precedent of the Lu family, other families also began to look for something similar to the "Fanyang Salt Field", and the steam engine was what the Qinghe Cui family intended to obtain.

The people of the Cui family saw the prospect of the steam engine, and they knew very well that the steam engine would bring an important change to Datang, as long as they had the steam engine, then the Qinghe Cui family would not only not be affected by the loss of land, but also go further because of the steam engine!

In order to achieve this purpose, Cui Zhang brought millions of worth of property to Cheng Yanjin's mansion, and all he asked for was to let Cheng Yanjin help match.

However, what Cui Zhang didn't expect was that at the critical moment, Cheng Yanjin not only did not help him speak, but also gave him more than a dozen big mouths, which made him very sad.

"What about the most basic trust between people?"

The performance of biting gold in the process also told Cui Zhang an important information, that is, how much weight Gao Ming, the prince, has!

"Since it's already late for the Wang family and the Lu family, then we can't hesitate any longer, otherwise I won't be able to drink even the soup if I don't talk about eating meat in the future!"

After realizing this, Cui Chang strengthened his determination.

"No matter what kind of request the prince makes, he must agree to it, and he must get the production method of the steam engine!"

Originally, Cui Zhangdu was ready for such an awareness, but after hearing Gao Ming's request, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Because he didn't expect that Gao Ming's request was to let the Qinghe Cui clan build the Tang Royal Academy, and also build four schools in the four states of Yingzhou, Jizhou, Qizhou and Cangzhou.

In fact, it didn't cost much money to build a seowon, and according to the scale of the Jinju Royal Academy, one seowon would be built for more than 100,000 guan, and even if four were built, it would only be 500,000 guan.

This amount of money is less than half of the property that Cui Zhang gave to Cheng Yanjin this time!

What really embarrassed him was that Gao Ming asked the Qinghe Cui clan to be fully responsible for the four royal academies, not only to contribute money, but also to contribute people.

Choi Chang had already inquired that the Royal Academy in Jinju now accommodates nearly 10,000 students, and there are nearly 300 teachers alone.

In other words, if he built the Royal Academy in the four states of Yingzhou, Jizhou, Qizhou, and Cangzhou, in order to reach the scale of the Jinju Royal Academy, he would have to recruit more than a thousand teaching gentlemen.

Moreover, since the Royal Academy can be named "Royal", then those who can enter it to teach, not to mention reading poetry and books, must at least have a certain degree of fame, at least they must also reach the level of talent, even if they are not too much.

There are more than 1,000 talents and lifters, and this number is not a small number for the Qinghe Cui clan.

Just as the later saying "What is lacking in the 21st century is talent", Datang is also short of talents, so many people with merit and fame are basically impossible to make up outside, which requires the Qinghe Cui family to come out of their own family.

And most importantly, even if he overcame these difficulties and successfully established these four royal academies, then at the same time, he would also completely offend the other family gates.

Because this approach is tantamount to helping Gao Ming break the talent monopoly of the family gate valve and shake the foundation of all the family door valves, which is the most troublesome.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's move, doesn't he want us Qinghe Cui to make a 'vote' and cut off our retreat by the way? It's really a good calculation! ”

Thinking of this, Cui Chang couldn't help but take a deep look at Gao Ming.

Seeing Cui Zhang's gaze, Gao Ming also understood that he understood what he meant, and immediately grinned.

"Haha, Master Cui is particularly embarrassed? It's okay, if you can't make up your mind, don't worry, you can go back and think about it slowly, even if you don't agree, it's okay! ”

Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly looked at Cui Zhang with deep meaning.

"Because something as important as a steam engine is more reassuring to hold in your own hands than to hand it over to someone who can't even figure out the position, what do you think?"

"This ......"

Of course, Cui Zhang understood the hidden meaning of Gao Ming's words, so he was stunned at first, but after reacting, he hurriedly squeezed out a reluctant smile towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, my Qinghe Cui clan has always been loyal to the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the Prince, so Your Highness, please rest assured, after Weichen goes back, he will immediately set out to establish the royal academies in Yingzhou, Jizhou, Qizhou and Cangzhou!"

Looking at Cui Zhang's serious face, Gao Ming nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, that's good, then you can go to the military industry department of Datang tomorrow afternoon, and then I will ask Liu Tao to give you the production drawings of the steam engine, and by the way, send a few craftsmen back with you!"

"Huh?" Hearing Gao Ming's words, Cui Zhang suddenly showed a look of shock: "Give it to me tomorrow?" ”

Looking at his shocked look, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Of course it's given to you tomorrow, isn't it difficult to wait until the four new Datang Royal Academies are completed before giving it to you? Isn't that all the daylilies cold? Ha ha! ”

Gao Ming smiled and patted Cui Zhang's shoulder.

"I've always been suspicious, don't be suspicious, since I decided to believe you, I won't have reservations about you, and if you live up to my trust, what will happen, I believe you understand!"

"Uh......"

Hearing Gao Ming's threatening words, Cui Zhang's face suddenly changed, he quickly lowered his head, and then bowed to Gao Ming.

"I will never dare to disappoint His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Looking at Cui Zhang's serious expression with a hint of panic, Gao Ming nodded with satisfaction again.

"I hope so!"
