Sunlight lazily streams through the rows of pines and cypresses and into the buildings called 'classrooms' by the white buildings.

The silk paper-framed windows, the new desks and chairs, and the blank class schedule hanging at the entrance are not unusual, they are all things that have appeared in the Bai Jiameng School for a long time; What makes Wei Ying feel very novel is the primary color wooden board hanging on the wall, this is not a low-grade color painted with black paint in later generations, and the black paint will peel off piece by piece after a long time, which is very ugly, but the best logs that are old enough to be selected and gently roasted with charcoal fire, will become a darker brown, like the surface color of guitars and violins in later generations, and writing on it with a white ash pen will make a nice 'zizi' sound.

The gray pen is made by burning the white-colored limestone into ash and then adding an appropriate amount of pine resin, which has never appeared in the Bai family's Mengxue Hall before, Wei Ying curiously picked it up and wrote a few words on the log blackboard, and praised it again and again: "Good thing." With this gray pen and wooden board, it will be much easier for the gentlemen of the academy to preach and teach in the future, not only by oral transmission, but also by writing. Baizi, have you applied for an invention patent for these two things? In fact, Martingale has long had a question, although the invention patent has the effect of stimulating business, but unfortunately it is only Lao Qin's decree, even if you apply for a patent in Lao Qin, if other people want to infringe, Lao Qin is not beyond the reach of the whip? ”

"Zuo Shuchang is a scholar of the Legalist family, how can he ask such a question? Since Lao Qin's "Invention Patent Law" and "Trademark Law" can bring benefits to commercial development, how can other countries not see them? Now the Bai family's business is all over the world, whether it is direct sales or agency, in fact, it is secretly influencing countries. If the princes of the nations are not stupid. Naturally, it will gradually accept it. It shouldn't take long. When this influence reaches a certain amount, there will be a qualitative change, and all countries in the world will take the initiative to implement similar laws."

Wei Ying stroked his palms and laughed: "What a relationship between quantitative change and qualitative change!" Now I believe that "Sixue" was written by Bai Zi himself, otherwise how could he have it at his fingertips? I can't imagine that Bai Zi's explanation of the good law is the same as that of my Dharma family, yes, those who are really good at the law are beneficial to the world, and they don't need to be implemented with a sword. Only evil law can rely on the power of the sword. However, not all of them are evil laws, and if there is no sword, how can they deal with those stubborn nobles? Unless Bai Zi is willing to help Martingale, the sword can be avoided, and the good thing can be done quickly, wouldn't it be the best? ”

"Don't trap me, you have to come to me for everything, I will be exhausted to death, what else do you want to do as a minister of law change? And there will be someone to help you get things done. Don't thank him, he's also for the good."

Bai Dong smiled lightly: "Let's go." I see that Wei Zi has something on his mind, so I won't take you to see the library of the academy today. You and I will go to the 'Wenshi Building' where the masters will rest and prepare for education in the future, and I have already ordered someone to prepare fragrant tea and snacks, so you can chat while eating."

"Thank you, Baizi."

After leaving the teaching building, passing by the inner lake of the academy named 'Mizuki Fanghua' by Bai Dong, it is the literary building where the masters will rest and prepare for classes in the future. This building is not built with Qin bricks and cement, but is made of pear wood, which not only has a wood fragrance, but also is very comfortable to walk on the stairs, and there will be a pleasant 'bang' sound under your feet.

This is the craftsmanship of the public loser, the whole building is made of mortise and tenon splicing, you can't see the steel nails and iron nails of later generations, Bai Dong will be amazed every time you see it. However, Wei Ying didn't think so, in his eyes, those strangely shaped cement classrooms were the most wonderful buildings.

The academy has not yet officially opened, so there are no teachers and students in the academy, and there are no miscellaneous servants, but the tables and chairs are all set up in the 'literary rooms' in this literary building, and all kinds of materials used in teaching are also placed on the shelves.

"Bai Zi wants to push the public plough into the world, so that the grain of the world will surge, and Lao Qin will become the granary of the world, this move is not small, and the calculation of the mind makes Martingale admire it even more. But Martingale was unwilling in his heart, should he use the public plough system method to exchange benefits for Lao Qin? In this way, when Lao Qin is promoted, it will be better without affecting Bai Zi's strategy? ”

After drinking a few sips of fragrant tea and praising the furnishings and white porcelain fish tank in the literary room, Wei Ying finally got to the point. The difficulty of changing the law is not to compete with those old nobles for profit, but to have no money in their hands, Yingquliang has to train soldiers, but also to stabilize the hearts of the courtiers and the people, there are too many places to use money, and the 'law change funds' that Lao Qin can give him are really pitiful, so he has his eyes on the possible benefits of losing the plow. It's obviously a good thing that wheat falls from the sky, so why not seize this opportunity to make a fortune first? He couldn't figure it out.

"Hehe, I'm afraid this is not just the idea of Zuo Shuchang, most of the kings also have this intention?"

Bai Dong smiled and said, "Have you heard of the method of catching snakes?" The best way for a farmer to catch a snake is not to go to the grass, because that will scare away the fat snake, but to 'lure the snake out of the hole'. Don't you need bait to lure a snake out of its hole? The princes of the world are not fools, if we exchange benefits with them like a treasure for the plow, it will inevitably attract the attention of all countries, and although the grain in the world will increase sharply, Lao Qin will not get the greatest benefits. Therefore, we must secretly implement it, so that the merchants and craftsmen of the world 'inadvertently' find the good thing of the public plow, so that this thing can be circulated among the people, so that although it may not be able to hide from the eyes of all the 'well-intentioned people', it will minimize the adverse effects, and the interests of my old Qin can also be guaranteed to the greatest extent. ”

"The mind of the grass startling the snake Bai Zi is a little understood. If the plough is spread among the people, the grain production of all countries in the world will increase in large quantities in the coming year, and what means will be used to collect the white seeds? You made a guarantee in front of the king, saying that this move would not cost Lao Qin much money, but there was a possibility of making money, but Martingale was really stupid and couldn't figure out the truth. ”

"It's not just that you don't understand, even the most savvy businessmen in the world can't figure out the truth, and you have to wait for me to do it once, and then it will suddenly become clear; But by the time you all understand, Lao Qin has become the granary of the world, and it is too late to understand. Weizi is a smart person, smart people will think a lot, this is actually not a good thing, you are still bent on presiding over the major event of changing the law, even if I explain at this time, I am afraid that you will not understand"

Bai Dong just smiled, if he wanted Wei Ying to understand the means of manipulating the market in later generations, it would be equivalent to playing the piano to the cow, so don't waste your efforts.

Since Bai Zi said so, Martingale didn't ask. However, Lao Qin has no money, and he can't borrow the public plough to obtain benefits, and the king's ability to change the law to Martingale is very insufficient, Ah Martingale heard that Du Sikong is buying a large number of old fields of small and medium-sized nobles, this move was originally to help Wei Ying, so that Martingale can save a lot of unnecessary manpower expenses, can Du Sikong's personality, if Martingale has no money, I am afraid that he will not be able to get these old fields from his hands, which is difficult. ”

If Wei Ying wants to abolish the old system of Jingtian, the first thing to do is to recover the land in the hands of these old nobles. changed to a big family like Meng Xibai, even if he took real money to buy it, people would not sell it; And these small and medium-sized nobles are different, they have limited profits from the old fields, and they dare not openly confront Wei Ying, it is better to transfer the matter, so although Du Zhi did this for profit, it can be regarded as helping Wei Ying, but it is still impossible to do it without money, and people have worked hard to help him collect the fields, so he can't grab it?

Bai Dong smiled and said nothing, knowing that Wei Ying's topic would return to money after all, he glanced at Jing Jian and saw that he was also laughing, and knew that he had not guessed wrong.

"Baizi is the grace of the martingale, and the martingale said bluntly. Bai Zi is rich for Lao Qin, and a common thought is that hundreds of thousands of gold are in his pocket, and martingale is far inferior. I also hope that Bai Zinian is not easy to change the law in Martingale, and if he can donate generously, then Lao Qin and Martingale will both miss Bai Zi."

"Okay, after all that, you just want me to ask for money, right? Sure enough, it's a big tree, you are a minister of law change, and you actually beat my idea, how much do you want? ”

"If you want to get less, wouldn't you underestimate the white child? When Bai Ziping destroyed Nanmo, he didn't even blink his eyes, and he threw millions of gold, and now he is asking for the country, so it is also a million gold? Forgive me for being generous."

"No way. Praise me for a few words and want a million gold, when I am a mountain of gold and silver pit? At most, 500,000 gold, plus the amount allocated to you by the king, should be enough for the initial change! ”

"Haha, as much as Bai Zi says, it's as much. Martingale thank you."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me just yet. Since you are invited by the state, then you should do official business, and I will borrow it, not give it away. 500,000 gold, one cent per year, doesn't it mean that I cheated you? ”

Wei Ying is right, Bai Dong can earn hundreds of thousands of gold with a single thought. But there are rules for everything, and it is not possible to always treat the Bai family as Lao Qin's treasury, and Bai Dong still understands the truth of Shengmien's fight against Mi Qiu; What's more, this is the pre-Qin era, no matter how big the market is, there will be a saturation time, don't think that glass and porcelain will not affect each other, good things come out too fast and too much, and they will become worthless because of the decline in purchasing power, otherwise why doesn't Bai Dong burn glass until now? You have to take your time, wait for the nobles of various countries to buy Bai family porcelain and spend a lot of money, and then recuperate and have money, and it is not too late to burn it

"One cent of annual interest?" Wei Ying's mouth opened and stammered.

"And there is another condition, even if you are embarrassed, you must agree, otherwise I will not borrow this money."

"Anyway, every penny is a penny! If Baizi has any other conditions, please command."

"Well, Fengming Academy will open its doors in the future, and there will be no fewer students who will ask to be admitted to the academy. Fengming Academy adheres to the elite education, and only 100 students are admitted for the first time, regardless of their background, let alone the name of their knowledge, and they must be able to pass the examination of Guò Academy. If it is the children of foreign nobles, it is fine, most of Lao Qin's courtiers and nobles and I are acquaintances, if I refuse, I will inevitably offend them, it is very unbeautiful. Come to think of it, you are the most suitable to be this 'admissions leader'. Don't refuse, I'm very optimistic about you."

Wei Ying's eyes widened when he heard this, you are very unbeautiful if you offend people, I deserve to be scolded by someone?
