Chapter 559: Academy Belonging
Li Shimin didn't speak during the whole process, he was thinking about what Li Shen's purpose was, if he was simply unwilling to pay, or if he didn't have money,
Li Shen will say it directly to himself, not while everyone is there.
There must be a reason why his son did things, but he didn't find out.
Seeing that everyone was speechless when asked by Li Shen, Li Shimin had to stand up and speak.
"King Ji, what do you want?"
"Your Majesty, the construction of the academy was originally a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but the ministers of the court for their own selfish desires,
I don't want the people of Datang to study, the minister is thinking, all the things have been done today,
And what about next year? There are only four Dao, and there are other Dao, does the imperial court want to let my Ji Wangfu pay for the construction of academies in all the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty?
In other words, if our Jiwang Mansion does not pay for it next year, then the imperial court will not be building academies.
Ladies and gentlemen, is what this king said right? ”
Li Shen asked angrily.
This is what Li Shen is most angry about, this group of people is full of benevolence and morality all day long,
Every day he says that he is for the country and the people, the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world.
However, when the college touched their interests, they chose to avoid it.
In this group of people, most of them are not from the family, but also related to the family.
Such as Fang Xuanling's wife, Tang Jian's wife, Yang Shidao, Bao Wenwen, Gao Shilian, etc.,
The eldest grandson is also a family of scholars.
Li Shimin sat on it and finally understood what Li Shen meant, today Li Shen came to tear a hole in the imperial court.
Let the imperial court pay for the academy, and the people of other provinces will think that the imperial court will also build an academy in them.
When the time comes, if the court does not stop, it will cause a lot of impact.
Li Shen wanted to put the imperial court there.
"Fang Xiang, do you think the imperial court should pay this money?" Li Shimin looked around and then asked Fang Xuanling.
"Back to Your Majesty, logically speaking, the imperial court should indeed pay this money." Fang Xuanling replied.
"The eldest grandson shoots, what do you think?"
"The minister agrees with what the minister said, and the court should indeed make some efforts." Eldest Sun Wuji nodded.
"Seconded by the Minister"
"Seconded by the Minister"
"The minister also seconded the proposal"
Everywhere Li Shimin's vision goes, he will bring a second.
"Well, that's good, King Ji, do you know how much money you need in the future?"
Li Shen thought for a moment.
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the estimated market price, it is about one million, but the minister can provide books at cost price. And arrange for someone to deliver.
That's 300,000.
The rest is the teachings, and the imperial court should make some arrangements, and the follow-up will be some repairs and teachings. There is also the cost of food.
These are not allowed to cost much money every year. Li Shen calculated very carefully.
"Only 300,000?"
"300,000 is enough?"
This time it was Li Shimin's turn and the ministers were surprised, Li Shen fought in the court,
The face of the fight is red, and he almost didn't scold these ministers,
In the end, only 300,000 yuan of the national treasury was used.
At this moment, Tang Jian regretted and wanted to slap himself twice, if he had known earlier, he would have 300,000 yuan.
Why should you be scolded by this master, just say 300,000 yuan earlier.
He thought he would have more than a million dollars.
In fact, according to normal speaking, it does need more than one million, but they don't know that the cost of Li Shen's printing technology is low.
Now their printing house is full of college books.
There are books for everything from enlightenment, to elementary school, to university.
"Your Majesty, if there is only 300,000 yuan, the treasury can still be taken out." Tang Jian bowed down and said.
"Okay, then give Ji Wangfu 400,000 yuan, and Ji Wangfu will be responsible for printing books.
The teachings should also be selected before they are built, and the food and lodging of the students will also be taken care of by the imperial court."
In the end, Li Shimin waved his hand and closed the coffin.
And Li Shen also regained the appearance of a hippie smile, no longer a business-like appearance.
"Aye, in fact, there is a proposal, and I think that if there are more colleges in the country,
A separate department should be established to manage and allocate funds. ”
Li Shen's first thought was the Ministry of Education, which is responsible for managing schools across the country.
"Create a separate department?" Li Shimin was puzzled.
Now the school is managed by Guozijian.
"Yes, although Guozijian manages the academy, he is only an academy after all.
Now because there are not many academies, they can manage it, but how will they manage the academy in the world in the future.
There are a lot of issues involved, such as admissions, imperial examinations, etc. There is also the issue of school repairs. ”
"His Royal Highness King Ji, are you saying that my country's eunuch is incompetent?"
It was Kong Yingda, the priest of the country, who spoke.
Li Shen said this, obviously to weaken the power of the Guozijian.
"Master Confucius, don't worry, this king just said that there is an independent department, and Master Confucius, as a sacrificial wine, can also serve as the head of this department.
And Guozijian became independent as a specialized college. ”
The influence of the Kong family is too great, and Li Shen can't afford to provoke it.
"I'll talk about this later, if you don't have anything to do, go back first, there is really something to discuss with you Aiqing."
It is not a trivial matter to have an independent department, and this needs to be discussed at the Great Meeting.
"Ayer, there's one more thing." Li Shen said again.
"What else?"
"Oh, it's not a big deal, it's about building roads,
I don't know if the imperial court plans to build roads, build cement roads. Li Shen asked.
"Of course, it is good to build cement roads, but the price of building cement roads is too high.
The imperial court cannot afford it at the moment. Li Shimin doesn't even need to ask Tang Jian,
"Aya, the meaning of the child is not to cultivate together, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we can cultivate one by one.
If you want to get rich, build roads first, have more children and raise more dolphins.
If the road is repaired, the transportation will be much more convenient, and the time to go back and forth between the two places will be shortened.
This is good for the people, and there is no harm to it.
I don't need to say much about the military aspect.
That's why I think it's important to build roads. Li Shen began to analyze the benefits of road construction for Li Shimin.
"Let's wait until the crusade is over." Li Shimin prevaricated.
Of course he knew these things, but the cost of building a concrete road was too high. A road is less than tens of thousands,
If it is a little longer, it is not enough to have a million guan, so although Li Shimin knows that it is good to build roads, but at present, the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo is just using money, and he can't spend money indiscriminately.
"Aye, why don't you pay for it."
"You're paying for it?" Li Shimin was surprised, could it be that the phoenix fell in the east today?
"Yes, but there is a condition, you can't build the road in vain, you want the right to collect fees for ten years on this road,
Ten years later, this road will belong to the imperial court, and whether the imperial court will charge or not will be under my control when the time comes. ”
In the end, Li Shen said his plan.
(I saw a very touching quote today, so I would like to share it with you.)
..... It's almost the New Year, have you earned enough money for this year's New Year? )
