Naturally, Li Wangyou also intentionally tried to cool down Xu Jingzong, lest this guy just recruit a group of Mongolian children after listening to the academy, and quit in a fit of anger.
Although for an official fan like Xu Jingzong, it is unlikely that he will leave with the crown, but since Li Wangyou wants to use him, he will naturally have to endure him.
"Haha, Mr. Xu, don't worry. I will clarify this matter with Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu will come with me."
Li Wangyou got up, took Xu Jingzong directly to the top of the castle, pointed to Ganhe not far away and said: "Please look, Mr. Xu, that big river is Ganhe, and the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty is going to be built on Ganhe." On the other side."
He took out the sketch of the academy, unfolded it and showed it to Xu Jingzong.
"Mr. Xu, this is the planning map of the Royal Academy. The academy should cover an area of at least one thousand acres, with dozens of buildings of various kinds, and all kinds of facilities such as a shooting field, a kicking field, and an archery field. This is a library. Collect all kinds of books in the world. This is the lake in the academy, waiting to be planted with lotus. In the hot summer, the willow trees on the embankment of this lake are shaded, and the lotus in the lake is so beautiful. Even Qujiang Pond is inferior to it. Point... After the Royal Academy is built, it can enroll [-] students. Has Mr. Xu ever seen an academy of this size? Haha, it’s not me, Li Wangyou, bragging. The Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty must be unprecedented in my Tang Dynasty. What a feat! Mr. Xu, if the saint entrusts Mr. Xu to an academy like this, it is an absolute trust in Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu must not disappoint the trust of the saint!"
Li Wangyou is just like the sales lady of later generations, she almost limped Xu Jingzong after a flicker...
725 Entrance Examination
No matter how Li Wangyou fooled him, when he said in person that the academy only recruited Mongolian children, Xu Jingzong's vision was still darkened, and he almost passed out.
He never imagined that he had studied scriptures all his life and passed the examination of being a scholar in the former Sui Dynasty. Now that he is not in doubt, he is going to be the principal of a primary school...
The term "primary school" has existed since the Han Dynasty, "the ancients entered the 'primary school' at the age of eight", which means elementary school.When Xu Jingzong thought that he had been in the court all his life, and now he was in such a state, he really wanted to die.
"Uncle Huxian, my... I have never offended Uncle Huxian before, have I? Why do you want to humiliate this official?" Xu Jingzong's old tears were about to fall.
Li Wangyou smiled when he saw his mournful appearance, "Grand Xu, do you think the sage would joke with you like this? If it was just an elementary school, the sage and I would spend tens of thousands of taels of gold to build such a large building." Academy? Will the vice-president of your academy be a third-rank official like that Guozijian sacrificial wine? Don’t forget, the president of the academy is a sage himself.”
Xu Jingzong was taken aback when he heard what he said. It seemed that this was the truth...Even if His Majesty and Huxian Bo disliked Xu Jingzong, they didn't have to spend so much money to punish him.
"Uncle Huxian, excuse me for being stupid, what are the tricks of this academy? Please teach me, Uncle Huxian."
Only then did Li Wangyou tell the whole story of his and Li Er's ideas, except for the brainwashing, he explained everything else he could say to Xu Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong was also dumbfounded when he learned that the Royal Academy of the Tang Dynasty planned to spend ten years cultivating a young boy into a pillar of talent.
This handwriting is really terrifying.
What a sophisticated person Xu Jingzong was, after listening to Li Wangyou's explanation, he roughly guessed why Li Er attached so much importance to this Royal Academy.
This is where Li Er is cultivating disciples of the emperor for the royal family of Li Tang!
Wanting to understand this, Xu Jingzong suddenly felt a surge of enthusiasm.For such an important academy, the sage would entrust him to manage it. Does it mean that Xu Jingzong is also a person who is highly valued by the sage?
When he heard that Li Wangyou was actually planning to accept those Mongolian boys, and each of them would pay a hundred copper coins per year for the repair fee, Xu Jingzong couldn't help but open his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.
Black, so fucking black!
You know, in the east and west cities of Chang'an City, Turkic Dunma is only worth ten copper coins, and a steer is only four or five copper coins.These one hundred copper coins are equivalent to ten Turkic Dun horses or twenty bullocks, and it is only a year's repair?
"Uncle Huxian, is the academy's Shuxiu too expensive? I'm afraid... I'm worried that if this happens, the academy may not be able to recruit students."
Li Wangyou shrugged his shoulders: "Could it be that the academy I spent so much gold with the sage isn't worth it? Xu Gong may not know that His Royal Highness and several princes of the sage will also enter the academy to study."
Xu Jingzong's eyes lit up: "Do you really mean what Uncle Huxian said?"
Of course he understood what this meant, if he could become a classmate with His Highness the Crown Prince and other princes, for ten years... a hundred copper coins are nothing!
Xu Jingzong had only one idea at this time, which was to send his son Xu Ang to study in the academy.
Although Xu Jingzong is almost forty, he has five sons, the youngest son, Xu Ang, is only ten years old now, just the right age to enter the academy.
But when he thought of Baiguan's one-year tuition fee, Xu Jingzong felt a toothache.
"Dare to ask Uncle Huxian, if the son of the lower official wants to study in the academy, this Shu Xiu..."
Li Wangyou glanced at him, Xu Jingzong was born in the Xu family of Gaoyang, he was also from a noble family, so could he still be short of this copper coin?
Sure enough, this product is like the evaluation in history, and it is very greedy for money.
Xu Jingzong, in order to collect money in history, even married his own daughter to the son of the ethnic minority chief Feng An, "marrying a girl Yu Yiluo".Naturally, he was criticized by hundreds of officials in the court, thinking that he was greedy for money.
When Li Wangyou saw that he wanted to save Shu Xiu, who had a hundred guan coins, he was almost laughed at by this guy.
"Xu Gong, if the son of your family can be admitted to the academy, um, Shu Xiu will only charge half of it." Li Wangyou said, since Xu Jingzong is so shameless to talk about it, he will naturally give it to him. To save face from the vice president of the academy, a [-]% discount on the tuition fee will be fine.
Hearing these words, Xu Jingzong naturally smiled, and couldn't stop bowing his hands to Li Wangyou to thank him.
But he immediately realized that what Li Wangyou said just now was that if he could be admitted to the academy...couldn't the academy recruit students just by charging money?Still have an exam?
"May I ask Uncle Hu County, this academy still needs an exam for admission?"
"Of course! You don't need to worry about this, you will understand when the time comes."
"However, if the sons of hundreds of officials and noble families fail the exam, wouldn't they be accepted? This... how can this lowly official offend so many people?" Xu Jingzong couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
Li Wangyou laughed and said: "Don't panic, Mr. Xu. If you really didn't pass the exam and want to study in the academy, well, you can pay for the score. For example, the full score of this exam is [-] points, and the admission threshold is [-] points. For every one point difference, you can pay a hundred copper coins to the academy as sponsorship, hehe, if you have enough points, you can naturally study in the academy."
When Xu Jingzong heard the words, he opened his mouth even wider, is that okay?
Is it too shameless?
However, Li Wangyou's words opened the door to a new world for Xu Jingzong, and made his thoughts brighten up suddenly.
Anyway, collecting money is helping the sage and Hu Xianbo collect money, he is afraid of a fart!
"Uncle Huxian, [-] points will be admitted, it's too low, why not raise it to [-] points." Xu Jingzong immediately understood the essence of Li Wangyou's words.
Ten is a thousand copper coins, this money is really easy to earn.
I think the exam questions given by Uncle Hu County will not be too simple. If the children of hundreds of officials and nobles fail the exam, Xu Jingzong does not believe that they will obediently pay for it.
Xu Jingzong immediately turned bitter again, Nima, he forgot that Li Wangyou said just now that if his son wants to enter school, he also needs to take an exam?This is too bad!
In case his son did not do well in the exam, wouldn't he just dig a hole and bury himself with what he said just now?
"Uncle Huxian, dog...does dog also have to pass the entrance exam?"
Li Wangyou was very satisfied with his idea just now, he patted Xu Jingzong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Grand Xu, your young master will naturally have to take the entrance exam, but well, the standard can be lowered, so don't panic, Mr. Xu. From now on, this academy will be entrusted to you to take care of, are you afraid that the saint and I will treat Mr. Xu badly?"
Xu Jingzong naturally understood what he meant, and nodded his thanks repeatedly.At the same time, I made up my mind that after returning home, I will urge my son to study hard, and there must be no delay!This special thing can be related to hundreds of copper coins, so don't be careless!
"Uncle Huxian, when will the academy be ready to start construction?" Xu Jingzong looked at the land not far away.
The sketch of the academy that Li Wangyou showed him, there is no hair on that land now.His vice president of the academy is just an empty shell, so Xu Jingzong is naturally anxious.
"Haha, soon! The Ministry of Industry has sent people to survey the land, and the construction will start tomorrow. This time, the saint and I spent a lot of money and used a lot of mirage mud. The construction will be very fast. The academy will be divided into three phases of construction, The scale of the first phase of the primary school is only a hundred acres, and it will be completed in a few months. The time I have set for the start of the academy is September this year."
Xu Jingzong's face twitched a few times, and he looked at the blueprint in front of him, and couldn't help saying two words in his heart, profiteer!
The sketch painting academy has a scale of a thousand acres, but the actual result is only a hundred acres... Isn't this a profiteer?
