Chapter 452 High Tuition Fees
Li Er looked at Li Feng coming over with dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Why did you respond? Didn't you know that the Supreme Emperor has called you twice?"
Li Feng scratched his head and said: "Actually, I have responded a long time ago, but my voice is not as loud as everyone else's."
"Are you saying that I wrongly blamed you?" Li Er glared at Li Feng fiercely.
"No." Li Feng said firmly, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he is very perceptive. He can tell at a glance that Wei Chen did not hear the Supreme Emperor calling him Wei Chen. This really makes Wei Chen admire him."
"Pfft."
Empress Changsun laughed and said: "Feng'er, don't act nonsense in front of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty."
"It's my godmother." Li Feng stuck out his tongue.
Li Er had nowhere to lose his temper.
Li Feng said quickly: "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"
Li Yuan replied unhappily: "What do you think? Aren't you going to take us to the academy? Why do you want the carriage to stop here?"
Li Feng immediately said: "Reporting to the Emperor, it's like this. We have set up a reception desk here to receive guests who go to the academy, and at the same time ask them if they want to sponsor some students."
"Supporting students?" Li Yuan looked at Li Feng with some confusion, then thought that there were many students and they were very poor, and he understood Li Feng's intentions.
Immediately, he looked at everyone and asked, "Has everyone sponsored the students?"
Fang Xuanling said: "Reporting to the Supreme Emperor, I have sponsored twenty students."
"I also sponsored twenty students."
"Me too."
…
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, have sponsored two hundred students." Cheng Yaojin said boastfully.
He even gave Hou Junji a provocative look.
Hou Junji became angry and said: "Your Majesty, my son Hou Fangyuan has sponsored one hundred students, and I have sponsored two hundred students. Our Hou family has sponsored three hundred students in total."
Cheng Yaojin immediately scolded: "Hou Junji, you are so shameless. You just said clearly that you would not support students at all. Why are you sponsoring them again now?"
Hou Junji sneered and said, "You are deaf and didn't hear it."
Cheng Yaojin felt that this sentence was very familiar, as he had heard it somewhere before.
Li Feng said: "Okay, General Hou is brave. Each student's tuition fee is fifty guan per year, clothing fee is 10 guan per year, catering fee is 50 guan per year, textbook fee is 20 guan, and dormitory management fee
Twenty guan, twenty guan for miscellaneous materials, and the consumption of pens, inks, paper, inkstones, swords, guns, swords, and even muskets that will be used in the future, etc., all added up, a student will need 320 guan.
If you support 300 students, you will need 96,000 yuan a year."
"What? I want 96,000 guan, and you are trying to steal the money." Hou Junji was furious.
Li Feng said very speechlessly: "General Hou, don't say that. Hou Fangyuan, come here."
Hou Fangyuan came to Li Er and Li Yuan with a complicated expression.
"I am here to meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Li Er nodded and said: "No need to be polite, Li Feng, why did you ask Hou Fangyuan to come here?"
Li Feng smiled and said: "Weichen just wants to show this form in Hou Fangyuan's hand to General Hou, otherwise he will misunderstand that I am robbing money."
Li Er nodded.
Li Yuan said: "Show it to me first."
Hou Fangyuan did not dare to neglect, and immediately put the form on the ground with both hands, then walked behind Hou Junji and said softly: "Dad, the price is clearly marked on the form, and when I took the form, the maid asked me to think twice.
Dad, you are a little impulsive."
When Hou Junji heard this, his face turned pale. He had been so impulsive just now, and the ninety-six thousand were gone.
After Li Yuan read it, he handed the form to Li Er: "You should also take a look."
Li Er looked at it suspiciously and said, "It's really that expensive. Hou Qing, are you really willing to sponsor 300 students?"
Hou Junji could only bite the bullet and said: "Yes, I am willing, and please Your Majesty to grant it."
Li Shiwen was very moved and said: "If the Tang Dynasty could have more ministers like Xiang Hou Qing, it would be a blessing for the court and a blessing for the people."
Li Feng said in shock: "General Hou, that's almost 100,000 guan, 100,000 guan a year. They start at least three years. If you have good grades and continue to study, the tuition will be higher and it will be extended to six years. Are you sure Hou?"
Can the government support living there?”
Hou Junji's face suddenly turned pale, but he had already said it, and he said it in front of His Majesty and the Queen. Is it possible to return? Don't I want to lose face?
After Hou Junji finished roaring in his heart, he said, "Now that I have spoken out, how can I regret it?"
Li Feng nodded and said: "Okay, after confirming the list, we will give the 9,600 guan to the academy tomorrow. Don't default on it, otherwise the academy will come to ask for the debt, and both parties will be very embarrassed."
"I understand, thank you for reminding me."
Li Feng nodded with satisfaction and said to Cheng Yaojin: "Old Cheng, you said you wanted to sponsor two hundred students, is that true?"
"Now that the words have been spoken, of course it is true. Do you still want me to regret it?"
"Okay, you are awesome, I will give the academy sixty-four thousand guan tomorrow. Don't forget, you and I are both people who want to save face." Li Feng reminded.
Li Er frowned and said, "Li Feng, now is not the time for you to demand payment."
Li Feng immediately said: "Your Majesty is right. I wonder if your Majesty, the Emperor, Godmother, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are interested in sponsoring some students?"
Li Lizhi was the first to speak: "I, I will sponsor a hundred."
Empress Changsun rolled her eyes at her and said, "Li Zhi, why are you joining in the fun? Do you know how much it costs to support a hundred students?"
"Isn't it just 32,000 yuan a year? I can make it back in less than a month."
"What? You can transfer so much in one month?" Li Er said in surprise.
The eldest grandson was also surprised, when did his daughter become so rich and able to make money so much?
If he didn't have a bank, I'm afraid the richest person in the palace would be Li Lizhi.
She now even suspected that her daughter's wealth had surpassed her own, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Li Lizhi rolled her eyes and said: "Father and Queen, you have forgotten that I have been with Shuyi, Li Wan and the others at the Lantian Trading Center.
Through stock trading, Erchen is now considered a millionaire. He may not be on the wealth list, but there should be no problem if he is ranked among the top 100."
Changsun said: "Okay, since you have this ability, then help more students."
Li Lizhi nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll sponsor five hundred students."
Everyone looked at Li Lizhi in shock, except Li Feng.
Li Chengqian on the side couldn't help but said: "Li Zhi, do you know that five hundred students will cost 160,000 guan a year. That's 160,000 guan, not 16 guan."
