Datang romantic little landlord

"Who do you want to call? Ma Zhou, Yan Liben, they can't."

"Haha, don't worry, of course not, you know this man Changqing..." Li Wangyou leaned into the ear of the beautiful boss and whispered a few words, which made Su Changqing hold back his chuckle.

"This person is suitable, but are you sure he is willing to go to the school to be the vice principal? Although I don't know him very well, I also know that this person is an official fan. Why do you poach him to the school?" The beautiful boss suddenly blinked her big eyes. , asked curiously.

"Hey, the mountain people have their own tricks! Don't talk about it, I'll go to Chang'an first, it's not too late." After Li Wangyou finished speaking, he led Niu Wu out of the castle in a hurry, got on his horse, and led a group of troops. Hit the horse and go to Chang'an City.

When a group of people rushed to Tai Chi Palace, the palace gate was about to be locked, Li Er couldn't help being surprised when he heard that Li Wangyou asked to see him, he didn't know why he came to Chang'an City at this time.

"Ziyou, why are you in such a hurry? You are still entering the palace to see me at such a late hour?" Li Er asked curiously in the Hall of Liangyi.

Li Wangyou said: "Hey, uncle, my nephew came today, but I have two things to ask for."

"tell me the story."

Li Wangyou said: "One is about the academy. My nephew wants to dedicate [-]% of the academy to uncle like the previous carriage shop and brewery. This academy, well, naturally it should be called the Tang Royal Academy. Uncle will be the dean of the academy, I don't know what uncle wants?"

Hearing what he said, Li Er was not only not happy, but his nose almost crooked in anger.

The reason is very simple. According to what Li Wangyou said before, he wants to let the children of those poor people go to school for free and also provide ten years of board and lodging.

Not to mention, according to the scale of Li Wangyou Academy's sketch drawing, it would take a lot of money to build it. Even if Li Er only "hacked" the family's 10,000+ taels of gold, he was reluctant to throw it here.

After Li Er returned to the palace from the Examination Institute of the Ministry of Rites, he also invited Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to inquire. If Li Wangyou's idea was followed to build an academy covering an area of ​​50 mu, it would cost at least [-] copper coins.

This kind of sending money out, this bastard boy is so embarrassed, he came to him to send [-]% of the money, doesn't that mean that Li Er wants to help Li Wangyou make up [-]% of the shortfall?

The "stingy" Li Er naturally didn't want to be taken advantage of like this.

Li Er coughed lightly: "Since Ziyou paid for the construction of this academy, it is inconvenient for me to participate, so Ziyou should manage it by himself."

Li Wangyou didn't understand what Li Er was thinking. He silently complained about the stingy Li Er in his heart, but shook his head pretending to be sorry and sighed: "Uncle really doesn't want the [-]% of the academy? Then [-]% is fine. Like this The opportunity to make money, my nephew is alone, and I feel uneasy."

Li Er glanced at him, but didn't answer his words.

I thought in my heart, you bastard, could it be that I am a fool?After clarifying the prodigal matter, I still want to drag me along.

Li Wangyou continued: "Could it be that uncle thinks that the academy will lose money?"

"Isn't that the case? I asked Duan Shangshu that if your academy is to be built, it will cost at least 50 guan, not to mention that you have to provide board and lodging for those poor children for ten years. In my Tai Chi Palace, it costs a lot , but there is not so much gold to pay you to prodigal together."

What Li Er said made Li Wangyou smile even more happily, shaking his head like a rattle.

"No, no, uncle is wrong. Not only will the academy not lose money, but it will also make a lot of money."

Li Er naturally didn't believe his words: "Ziyou, don't try to trick me into helping you make up for it."

Li Wangyou said: "Uncle, my nephew will make it clear for you. This academy enrolls five hundred Mongolian children a year, isn't that many?"

"Of course there are not many. If you are willing to accept, there are thousands of people." Li Er nodded, and he naturally understood that Li Wangyou's plan for the academy was attractive to officials, nobles and merchants.

"Hehe, my nephew said that the children from poor families are free to enroll, but they didn't say that the children of officials and merchants are also free of charge. The children of these people study in the academy, and the tuition fee, book fee, school uniform fee, board and lodging fee for one year Fee, I charge them a hundred copper coins, not much, right?"

Li Wangyou's words made Li Er stunned for a while, but he didn't react for a long time.

One hundred copper coins for one year, how dare you say not much?

Want to face or not?

722 Patriotic education

Li Er didn't know how to complain about Li Wangyou's unscrupulous pricing.

You know, in the Tang Dynasty, ordinary private schools were closed, and they were nothing more than a few dried meats. As for the government schools in the Tang Dynasty, tuition fees were all free.

But Li Wangyou actually told him that he wanted to charge a hundred copper coins for one year's tuition, which is nothing short of robbery!

Hundreds of copper coins, with purchasing power exchanged for later generations of RMB, is also 40 a year, even the aristocratic schools of later generations are not so expensive.

However, ordinary people in Chang'an City earn no more than ten guan in a year, and this hundred guan of copper coins is almost equivalent to the income of a household for seven or eight years without eating or drinking.

Li Wangyou didn't take it seriously, is there a lot of Baiguan?

Although a hundred copper coins are equivalent to a year and a half of the monthly salary of a first-rank boss, how many of these big bosses live on the monthly salary issued by the court?

The noble officials and merchants in the Tang Dynasty are not poor. They spend hundreds of copper coins to be classmates with princes and princes. Who dares to say that this money is expensive?

Li Wangyou began to settle accounts with Li Er with his fingers: "Uncle, look, if the first phase of the academy recruits 500 students, 300 of them will be free of tuition for children from poor families, and there are 500 people who can receive money. This is 600 yuan. One year. It doesn’t seem like much, but in the second year when 3000 students are recruited, 30 people will pay the tuition fee, which is [-] yuan a year. After ten years, won’t the academy have [-] people paying the tuition fee every year? The income is [-] yuan a year... Hey, uncle, are you sure you don't want to be a part of the academy?"

Li Er was also stunned for a while when he heard this, and then he bared his teeth and said, "Ziyou, you... this is too cruel."

30 guan is not a small amount.

The original amount of minted coins in the Tang Dynasty was only so much... Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but wonder, how can building an academy make money like this?

He also ignored what he said before, and coughed lightly: "Since Ziyou has such intentions, then this academy can be counted as one of my [-]% members. The construction of the academy costs a lot, and I can't let Ziyou bear it alone. Well, [-]% of the cost will be paid by me."

Li Wangyou once again despised Li Er who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles, and said seriously: "Since uncle is willing to contribute, then this academy should be called Datang Royal Academy, what does uncle think?"

"Okay, it should be like this!" Li Er was naturally satisfied with this.

Li Wangyou continued: "Uncle, in fact, whether the academy makes money or not is the second priority. More importantly, the academy can cultivate talents for me, for the court, and for my uncle, and cultivate talents who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty and loyal to the Tang Dynasty. The talent of the court, this is the key."

"Oh? What does Ziyou say?" Li Er asked curiously.

At this time, Li Wangyou kept silent, and looked left and right at the maids in the Hall of Liangyi, which naturally meant to ask Li Erping to step back, some words should not be heard by others.

It was rare for Li Er to see Li Wangyou so serious, so he put away his smiling face, gestured to the maids, and ordered them all to withdraw, not even Mi Tuo.

Soon, there were only two uncles and nephews left in the hall.

"Ziyou, what did you mean by what you said just now? You can say it." Li Er asked again: "How can you guarantee that the students taught by the academy are all loyal to the emperor and patriotic?"

Li Wangyou lowered his voice, and spit out two words from his throat: "Brainwashing."

"Brainwashing?" Li Er was stunned, completely unable to understand the meaning of the word: "What is brainwashing?"

Li Wangyou nodded: "That's right, it's brainwashing. This brainwashing is to use external methods to instill ideas into others. Uh, uncle can understand the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism as one It is a kind of brainwashing. Therefore, whether it is a monk or a Taoist priest, their beliefs are absolutely firm. Because they read the scriptures every day, whether it is the belief in the Buddha or the Taoist ancestor, it has been deeply rooted in their bones. And the monks and Taoists who were ordained when they were young, The more so."

Li Er frowned and thought for a while: "That Ziyou, you only recruit Mongolian children? Is it because of this reason? To brainwash them?"

Li Wangyou said: "That's right, that's the case. My nephew thinks that teaching these Mongolian children is not only about teaching them knowledge, but also instilling in them the idea of ​​being loyal to the king and serving the country. After ten years, what does uncle think? Hehe , this patriotic education should start from the baby."

Li Er couldn't help but gasped.

If someone has been taught the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism for ten years, and if these students enter the court in an endless stream in the future, wouldn't the country of the Tang Dynasty be as stable as Mount Tai?

After ten years of systematic teaching, this Mengtong dare not say that all of them are successful, even if only [-]% to [-]% of them can achieve something, it is a terrifying force.
