I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Wang Gui's level of shamelessness far exceeded Fang Xuanling's imagination.

He bowed to Fang Xuanling, and then said: "What Mr. Xuanling said is very true. It was because I didn't think carefully and made a false statement for a while, which almost ruined the fortune of the Tang Dynasty."

Bah, Fang Xuanling spat blatantly.

Now he admits his mistakes, is sincere, and has given himself the blame for "almost ruining the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty".

But everyone knows that how can a mere sentence of discussion in the court determine the fate of the Tang Dynasty, or... just relying on Wang Gui, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, to decide the fate of the Tang Dynasty?
If Wang Gui did not admit his mistake, Li Shimin would be fine with punishment.

But he is such a hob, Li Shimin is not easy to start, at most scold him, otherwise what else can he do?If it was a heavy punishment, it would appear that Li Shimin was ruthless and unreasonable, and Wang Gui was punished with just one sentence.

"However..." Wang Gui had just admitted his mistake on the front foot, and then turned to the back foot and said, "Mr. Xuan Ling also said that the reason why Chang'an is prosperous is because of its economy and development."

"My minister believes that Chang'an cannot be the only flower in the Tang Dynasty, so the matter of middle schools and universities should be put on the back burner, and the development of various places should be done first. Even if it can't be like Chang'an, the gap should not be too big."

It still means that the public school is very good now, don't continue to develop.

Fang Xuanling didn't need to speak this time.

Cheng Yaojin thought about it, and he waved his hand carelessly: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't get involved in this matter, let alone what Zouyan said."

"But... I can't help it."

"I understand. You, a person who is smarter than me, are you still pretending to be confused?"

Wang Gui bowed to Cheng Yaojin, smiled and said, "What does Duke Lu mean?"

Cheng Yaojin spat: "Hey, Wang Gui, you little old man is just pretending to be crazy, isn't it?"

Calling people by their names is almost equivalent to cursing.

Oh... It's not almost the same, it has nothing to do with whether you call names directly, Cheng Yaojin is just swearing.

"Chang'an can be as good as it is now, thanks to who?" Cheng Yaojin snapped his fingers and gritted his teeth, "What are you and Xuanling talking about... what kind of spirit."

Fang Xuanling added: "Economy."

Cheng Yaojin nodded: "Ah yes, chicken essence."

Fang Xuanling slapped his forehead, a little speechless, and the rest of the officials who were not prepared to stand in line and had the most relaxed attitude couldn't hold back, and laughed from their mouths.

"But who brought this chicken essence?" Cheng Yaojin stared like a light bulb hanging on the roof of the hall, "You have this ability?"

Wang Gui took a step back, afraid that Cheng Yaojin's foam would be sprayed on his face from the rank of military officers through a corridor.

"That's not what the store brought!"

"Let's not talk about you, it's just ten of you tied together, can you come up with something like chicken essence?"

Wang Gui really wanted to say... If it was really chicken essence, he could really do it, but the economy is really not good.

"So if you want other places to be like Chang'an, you have to let other places have such pillars as stores." Cheng Yaojin sighed and came to a conclusion.

"But the store is not steamed buns, and the shredded buns can be stuffed into bowls and soaked with mutton."

Oh……

The officials on the side were a little stunned, and understood that it was because Duke Lu got up too late, didn't have breakfast, and now he was hungry, and they all knew that when Duke Lu was hungry, he would get angry.

When Cheng Yaojin said this, he covered his stomach, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued: "So the store still has to stay in Chang'an, what should we do if we want to develop in other places."

"Let the others go."

"What kind of studies do those..." Cheng Yaojin raised his head, looked at Li Shimin, and cast his eyes for help.He felt a little regretful now, he knew that he would not take a nap just now, he was confused, he couldn't remember many new words, and he was stuttering when he cursed.

"Professional." Li Shimin kindly made up for him.

Cheng Yaojin breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah yes, it's professional."

"Let those who have learned the profession go get that chicken essence."

"The folks didn't say anything...Three stinky generals are the best Zhuge Liang. There are basically no people who can compare with the store, but if there are many people who have studied professionally, even if they still can't compare with the store, let's get that chicken essence general Is it all right?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin paused again, puffed out his chest proudly, and pointed to himself.

"I understand that if you want to make chicken essence, you have to get people to study majors first, and if you want people to study majors, you have to start a university first."

Li Shimin sighed.

What Cheng Yaojin said was very reasonable, and it was also what he thought in his heart—it was why he was so uncomfortable, and the words that were full of mistakes and omissions always felt that they were not so convincing.

But Wang Gui didn't catch the omissions in Cheng Yaojin's words, he stood silently, and stood back, let's say he had conceded defeat this time in the court.

But his tightly clenched fists and his closed eyes as soon as he returned showed that his heart was not so peaceful - when the Cui family died, he was never so frightened.

Li Shimin smiled slightly.

Wang Gui's attack this time was very disorganized, which is also normal, and it involved the most fundamental interests, even this little old man who had seen a lot of wind and rain began to panic.

If he hadn't panicked, he might have jumped out like this without making any plans.

Cheng Yaojin saw that Wang Gui retreated, and wanted to say something more.

Li Shimin quickly stopped him: "Yizhen, what you said is very good, don't say it again next time."

Cheng Yaojin curled his lips, as if he was willing to say it, if he hadn't eaten breakfast and was about to vent his anger, he wouldn't be willing to take this muddy water.

Li Shimin waved his hand and decided the nature of this matter: "The matter of running a school is beneficial to the future of the Tang Dynasty, but the matter of expenses is indeed a serious problem."

"You wait for each department to write a charter and come up, and then discuss in detail how to handle this matter."

He made a qualitative decision on this matter, and he wanted to discuss how to do it, so whether to do it or not is not a problem.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he stood up slowly, took out a note from his arms, and glanced at Tang Jian: "I still have an important matter to discuss with you."

"I wonder if you have seen this banknote before."

The officials looked at each other and nodded hesitantly.

Of course they didn't go to the casino, especially Zhengyang Gong's casino, they really, really never went.

But banknotes are commonly used by them.

Many of them even exchanged a large amount of copper coins in their families for banknotes. They didn't think it would be safer to keep money in their own homes than in Yin Xuan's.

But... Why did His Majesty suddenly say this at this time?

Tang Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
