Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Li Er waved his hand and said: "As long as you can see the effect, I can agree to all your requests!"

"Liu Bai will definitely give His Majesty a Royal Academy far surpassing the Hongwen Hall!"

The matter of preparing to build the Royal Academy, no matter who falls into the hands, can be regarded as a hot potato.

People from aristocratic families are not fools. After a little thought, you can understand that the Royal Academy is Li Er's sharp weapon against them!

As long as the aristocratic family loses the monopoly of learning, it will be slowly swept out of the court until it becomes an ordinary family.

It is also because of this that it has been more than a month since Liu Bai offered advice, and Li Er has not planned to build the Royal Academy for a long time.

Can't find a suitable candidate at all!

Even Fang Xuanling didn't dare to stand up and take the lead!

Foresight!

Throughout the ages, people who were enemies of the aristocratic family, except for Liu Bai, did not end well.

Liu Wenjing, Li Er's confidant minister, was forced to death by them because he was an enemy of the family!

But what others can't do doesn't mean Liu Bai can't do it!

Now that the Cui family and the Wang family's incident happened, it shows that Liu Bai is destined not to be friends with the big family.

If you are not a friend, then you can only be an enemy!

History has proved that weeds never end well!

Of course, there are deeper reasons.

The five surnames and Qiwang became a top aristocratic family because of their control of knowledge.

If Liu Bai wanted to turn the Liu family into a brand new wealthy family, he had to firmly hold the Royal Academy in his hands.

Even if Li Er entrusts this task to others, Liu Bai will take it over!

Becoming the founder of the Royal Academy is equivalent to establishing a teacher-student friendship with the students. It is conceivable that when the students enter the court and become officials, Liu Bai's old disciples will be all over the Tang Dynasty!

At that time, no one will be able to shake the status of the Liu family!

Back home, Liu Bai immediately called Shen Wansan and Wang Shouren over.

Preparing to build an academy is not a trivial matter. From site selection, construction, to inviting great Confucian scholars to be teachers later, and even maintaining the operation of the academy, huge manpower and material resources are required.

And now, everything is still blank.

Need to make a suitable plan first, and then carry out the actual operation.

After listening to Liu Bai's narration, Shen Wansan took the lead to ask: "Young master, I don't know if the imperial court will provide money?"

He is a typical businessman, the first thing that comes to mind is who will pay for the construction of the Royal Academy.

"Royal Academy, the funds will naturally come from the inner government. Don't worry about these. Your Majesty promises me that you can meet all requirements!"

A smile appeared on Shen Wansan's face.

Since it is all paid by the inner government, not only will they not lose money, but they may also make a lot of money.

"Subordinates, go find an experienced craftsman and design a blueprint first!"

Liu Bai stopped him with a wave of his hand, and said, "You don't have to worry about the blueprints. Go and contact the right craftsmen first. There are far from enough craftsmen in our shop."

Shen Wansan was taken aback, "Master, our family has a complete set of craftsmen, more than enough to build the Royal Academy."

He was still old-fashioned, thinking that what Liu Bai was going to build was a replica of the Hongwen Museum.

There were no more than a hundred students in the Hongwen Hall at most, and a palace was put down.

"5000 people!"

Liu Bai shook his head, "I want to build an academy that can accommodate [-] students!"

Shen Wansan was taken aback, "Five or five thousand students?!"

Although Wang Shouren seemed indifferent, his pupils shrank suddenly.

5000 people!

This is just students, plus teachers, handymen, and necessary support staff, the number will definitely not be less than [-]!

8000 people are already comparable to the population of a county on the border of the Tang Dynasty!

Could it be that Liu Bai wants to build a city? !

"This is only the first phase of the project. In the next five years, I will build an academy that can accommodate [-] students!"

As soon as this remark came out, even Wang Shouren's expression changed!

Since the Warring States Period, the State of Qi established the Jixia Academy, creating a precedent for official schools. Until now, there has never been an academy that can accommodate so many students!

If this royal academy is really built, it will be called a feat through the ages!

"This this"

Shen Wansan's mind was spinning quickly, thinking about how much money would be needed to build such a large academy.

"I'm afraid the entire inner palace will be hollowed out"

"That's not something we should consider. Since His Majesty promised to pay the money, naturally he won't break his promise."

Shen Wansan smiled wryly, "This subordinate will contact the craftsman right away."

Even if he was the richest man in a generation, but no matter how rich he was, when did he do the business of building a city?

How to do it, his eyes were darkened, and he could only grope slowly.

At this time, Wang Shouren, who had not spoken all the time, said: "Young master, this subordinate thinks that the most urgent thing is to find a great Confucian and enter the academy to teach. Only enough teachers can let Your Majesty see the determination of the young master!"

Chapter 89: No matter what, as long as you have a relationship with Liu Baiyi, someone will definitely suffer

Liu Bai glanced at Wang Shouren approvingly.

If Li Er knew what Liu Bai was thinking, he would definitely be shocked.

He did say that he would stand up for Liu Bai, but how could he have thought that Liu Bai's appetite would be so big?

Besides, the money in the inner palace was not brought by the strong wind, and if it was all used up at once, Li Er would feel distressed.

Only when enough great Confucian scholars were invited to let Li Er see Liu Bai's determination to build an academy, would he be happier when he gave money.

This kind of thing, Shen Wansan can't think of it, but Wang Shouren can say it right away.

He was originally a great Confucian of the generation, so he naturally knew these ways.

A good teacher can not only teach students well, but also attract more talents to join the academy.

"I'm about to tell you about this, after the Chinese New Year is over, let's find a suitable Confucian!"

From New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Bai didn't go out and stayed at home all day.

Except for accompanying Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er, he spent most of his time in the study, preparing the blueprints for building the academy.

The blueprints are not difficult, Liu Bai himself is from a serious academic background, according to the scale of the university in later generations, a little improvement will be enough.

After roughly drawing an outline, he handed over the coloring to Li Chengqian who was doing nothing all day long.

In the entire Liu family, only Shen Wansan was extremely busy.

Not only to contact craftsmen, purchase materials, but also to deliver New Year's goods door-to-door to the ministers of the DPRK and China for Liu Bai.

The sixth day of the Lunar New Year!

Officials can rest until after the Shangyuan Festival, but the common people get busy early.

It's all for the sake of living a poor life. If you miss one day of work, you will lose a bite of food at home.

Liu Yexuan also opened on this day.

The buddy set off some firecrackers, and after a while of excitement, the guests who had already lined up in a long line suddenly squeezed in.

Business is booming compared to years ago!

Fang Xuanling and others also came.

The six old guys didn't even go back to their hometown during the Chinese New Year because of a sip of tea. After finally waiting for Liu Yexuan to open, they set off from Chang'an before dawn.

Sitting in the familiar private tea room, Fang Xuanling looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed: "It's a pity that after the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, I don't have time to come every day."

Yu Shinan smiled, and said: "I think Liu Yexuan's new tea will be on sale soon, and I will buy some by then, but it's a pity that I can't listen to Journey to the West."

wow——

While several people were talking, the door of the private tea room was opened.

Everyone was shocked, thinking it was the maid who came to serve tea.

But when the person appeared, they were startled again.

Liu Bai said with a smile: "My lords, Happy Chinese New Year!"

He waved to the maid behind him to bring out the tea, and sat down carelessly.

Everyone looked at each other, Fang Xuanling said cautiously: "Young Master Liu, why are you here?"

They found that no matter what happened, as long as they had a relationship with Liu Bai, someone would definitely suffer.

I don't know who will be unlucky today

Liu Bai said dissatisfiedly: "Fang Xiang, Liu Yexuan is my property, can't I come to my shop to have a look?"

Fang Xuanling laughed a few times and said, "It's true, it's true"

While speaking, the maid had already brewed tea.

The tea fragrance with a bit of flower and fruit flavor spreads immediately.

Fang Xuanling sniffled and exclaimed, "Xiangyuan Wuya?!"

The last time Liu Bai took out the fog buds from the elephant garden was when Li Er came in person.

They watched helplessly, but could only smell it.

Why is Liu Bai willing to take it out today?

Didn't they say that it would be better to wait for a period of time before the unified sale?

There is a conspiracy!

The old guys immediately became vigilant.

"Ouch!"

Dai Zhou stood up with a 'crush', holding his belly, his face full of pain.

"Everyone, Dai is rude, go and make it easier!"

After speaking, he ran away.

Fang Xuanling and the others looked at Dai Zhou's leaving back in astonishment, and scolded him in their hearts.

This fellow runs too fast!

Liu Bai didn't bother to care where Dai Zhou was going, and Liu Yexuan was not looking for him in the first place.

"Liu came here today, and it is true that he has a small matter to discuss with all the adults!"

Liu Bai put the teacup in front of the old fellows with his own hands.

The old guys were a little nervous.

Just like Dai Zhou, he should have found a reason to slip away.

It's too late to go now.

Now that Liu Bai has said everything, if he leaves again, wouldn't it be the same as being afraid of Liu Bai?

No one can afford to lose this man.

None of them answered Liu Bai's words, for fear that some unlucky job would happen to them.

Liu Bai was still smiling, his eyes swept over several people one by one, and finally fell on Yu Shinan!

"Master Yu, don't you want to drink Xiangyuan Wuya for a long time? Why don't you drink it?"

Yu Shinan groaned secretly in his heart, picked up the teacup stiffly, took a sip, and showed a smile uglier than crying.
