At this moment, there are many people in the Ministry of Rites in the court hall, feeling some eyes full of resentment around them, secretly crying in their hearts, feeling extremely wronged.
They did things, but they also followed orders!
The fundraising was ordered by the eldest princess, and the withdrawal was ordered by Cui Guifei...
If you can stick to it, it will be fine, even if you will offend so many people, but it can be a boost to promote the establishment of the academy. Compared with the credit of the sky, offending a few people is nothing.
The problem is, they -- they fell by the wayside.
For no reason, he offended so many officials of the court and the central government, and the powerful family, and all the credit was taken away by that Liu Dayou. This trip, he really suffered a loss and went to his grandma's house.
If they had known that the Eldest Princess and His Majesty had such a plan, they would never have taken themselves out of this matter...
Perhaps, these methods were just what Her Highness the Princess thought of after they left
It is also possible that the princess has long had this plan, and she wants them to withdraw voluntarily, so...
How could it be possible, they had no grievances with Her Highness the Princess, and Her Highness didn't have to deal with them like this—at this moment, besides being oppressed, it was still oppressive.
Today's morning court ended very early, when Liu Dayi walked out of the palace gate, countless people surrounded him.
"Master Liu, stay here, stay here..."
"Master Liu, I am willing to do my best to raise money for the Academy..."
"Master Liu, I don't know if you are free today. How about we talk about the academy's money raising?"
…
Liu Dayou finally enjoyed the taste of the stars and the moon. Even after he was promoted to the capital, he did not expect that there would be so many high officials from the court and the central government smiling around him.
However, he knew that this was not the time to be flustered, so he calmed down and said in a deep voice: "My lords, don't worry, this is not a place to talk, if you want to donate money, please send someone to the county government to register as soon as possible..."
Old General Xue stood at the entrance of the hall, looked at Liu Dayou who was surrounded by everyone, stroked his beard, and said, "Your Highness's hand... is tall, really tall!"
"I never thought that there would be such a wonderful method!" Old General Ma sighed: "It was originally a matter of asking for help, but it was completely reversed. Countless people scrambled to donate money. This method is more than enough. Applicable to Kyoto, it is applicable everywhere, even local academies can also be built with this method, the world is full of people who cherish their names..., wonderful, wonderful!"
The eldest princess has a special status, so it is impossible for her to be surrounded by people like Liu Dayou, but many people looked at her with more things than before.
Even if she had done things that many men could not accomplish before, because of her gender, they would inevitably have some contempt for her in their hearts, but after this incident, no matter who it is, they have to share that The contempt was solemnly withdrawn.
Even in some people's hearts, there is still a trace of rejoicing.
Fortunately, she is a woman, and fortunately she is only a princess. If she is a prince, it is enough to make any brother who has the hope of inheriting the throne, including the King of Shu, see no hope at all.
No matter how many things she has done, no matter how prestigious she is, no matter how much power she holds in her hands, she is still just a woman after all.
Li Yi learned the news and told him when Wang Yong came to visit his home in the afternoon.
Wang Yong's visit this time was not to discuss business, nor to tell him these things specifically, but to implicitly express whether he could leave a good place for the Wang family on the courtyard stele.
This is of course possible.
The academy is the child of him and the eldest princess. As a father, he can still make decisions about this matter.
Not only because the Wang family is Li Xuan's father-in-law's family, the Li family and the Wang family are also a friendly partnership. Without knowing it, the Wang family is willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver to support the unborn child between him and the eldest princess. A favor cannot be simply repaid.
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "The Wang family donated 200,000 taels to the academy, which is enough to be named in all the academies in Kyoto, but does Brother Wang think this is enough?"
Wang Yong was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does Brother Li mean?"
"For example, a part of the two hundred thousand taels of silver is used to reward students with outstanding grades. On the one hand, it can help poor students improve their lives, and on the other hand, it can also stimulate them to study hard. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."
Li Yi thought for a while and asked, "How about calling this sum of money 'Wang's Scholarship' or 'Wang Yong Scholarship'?"
The old emperor did not attack the powerful families as a whole, indiscriminately. In fact, he was only gradually weakening those disobedient families. For those like the Wang family who knew the current affairs and had a close relationship with the royal family, of course, they used to win over and appease them. policy.
Therefore, Li Yi didn't mind giving the Wang family another bargain.
"Wang's scholarship?" Wang Yong's eyes lit up when he heard this.
It is good to engrave the name on the stone tablet, but the name may last forever, but the time of existence will be longer, and this "scholarship" that I heard for the first time is obviously another great thing for the Wang family.
The students funded by the "Scholarship" must be people with outstanding talents and learning. When they accept the funding from the Wang family, they will definitely inherit the favor of the Wang family, and they can be regarded as half of the students of the Wang family. The opportunity is also great, and everyone is not required to repay the Wang family, but after all, there is a sliver of continuous contact with the Wang family.
In just an instant, Wang Yong weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and concluded that there are only pros and no cons.
He looked up at Li Yi, and said sincerely: "The two hundred thousand taels were donated by the Wang family to build the academy, how can we get more money from there? Well, Wang will go back and ask for instructions, and take out a sum of money every year. The establishment of the 'Wang's Scholarship' is used to subsidize students with excellent character and learning... ”
Li Yi doesn't care about this. The money will eventually be used on those students. The Wang family is not a fool. Wang Yong understands the truth, and they must understand it. He just pointed it out. When the time comes, they will go talk to the eldest princess by themselves yes.
"I'll take my leave first!"
Wang Yong was in a hurry to report to the family, and Li Yi didn't stay too long. After that, he didn't have to intervene in this matter anymore.
Education is a century-old project, and it will take a long time to show its effects, but the foundation is already solid, and the obstacles encountered in the future will be much smaller.
He has already written down all the matters related to the academy in great detail on paper, and Her Royal Highness only needs to follow the instructions step by step.
Of course, some of these details still need to be controlled by herself.
Li Yi didn't want to arrange everything for her in every detail, and her ability to handle the affairs of the Women's Federation, various businesses, and the Women's College so perfectly showed her ability.
She will have to decide and deal with more things in the future, and dependence is absolutely impossible. Li Yi needs to nip out the signs that have just arisen as soon as possible.
Li Yi stared blankly in a certain direction, and when he made this happen, he didn't actually have much sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Instead, there was a little more hesitation.
After all, this is just his wishful thinking, and he can't tell anyone including her. However, no one knows better than him the hardships and length of this road. Whether it can be replicated or not is still unknown.
If when the time comes, things don't develop in the direction he planned, and it will be harmful to her to have such power and resources in her hands.
Most importantly, before the old emperor left, he didn't think he could help her get there.
That day will come sooner or later, who will be the new emperor, what will happen to her future, Yongning, Shouning...
If there is such a day, Yongning will definitely take him away. Tsundere Lolita is also worried, the palace is not where she should be, and she will be unhappy for the rest of her life.
As for the eldest princess, she probably won't leave... So what should I do, grab it
But, I can't beat it... I have a headache.
"What are you thinking?" A familiar voice came from the front.
Li Yi raised his head, saw Li Mingzhu walking in, pointed to the opposite side, and said, "Sit."
Li Mingzhu sat down opposite him, thinking of the way he looked at her just now, that momentary gaze seemed to contain something very strong, something she couldn't describe in words, and she was a little flustered in her heart.
"What were you thinking just now?" She subconsciously asked.
"I didn't think about anything." Li Yi poured a cup of tea, handed it over, and said, "Let's chat."
"What are you talking about?" She looked up at Li Yi.
"Just chat..." Li Yi looked at her and said, "For example, life, ideals, etc..."
