The four of them entered the academy laughing and joking. Li Er looked around and said, "I haven't been to the academy for a long time. It has changed a lot. Every time I come, there are new sights. I can't imagine what the academy will be like in ten years."
How spectacular. When you drew a picture, everyone thought it was just a dream. In just a few years, many things on the picture have been vividly displayed in front of you. Sure enough, as big as the heart is, the world is as big as you dare to think.
, and is willing to lower his head and do it, he who can overcome all difficulties in the world."
Hearing Li Er say this, this is a good opportunity for a special report. There is a Prime Minister and a Minister of Finance. It is really unreasonable not to cry about poverty at this time.
"Your Majesty, what you see is only the surface scenery. Do you know that there are also huge buildings that need to be constructed underground. Look at the deep pit over there. It was excavated just to build a basement. There are many research projects in the academy.
Everyone needs to be responsible to the country, and a strict research environment is indispensable. Why Qingque dug a hole under the Wude Palace? To be honest, it was for safety, and it was also preparation for confidentiality.
For example, the people studying steel in the academy have developed a new method of making steel. However, in order to keep it secret, Wei Chen had to lock the file in a cabinet and place it in the forest. Only when the construction of the academy reaches a certain level can a new steel-making method be built.
The steel-making furnace, if it is taken out now, will not be able to scale, it will do a lot of harm but no good. "
As soon as Yun Ye said these words, Changsun Wuji's expression suddenly changed. The foundation of the Changsun family is steel smelting. Now that I heard that the academy has a new method, how can I not be surprised? Now everyone in the court is interested in the products produced by the academy.
Not exclusive, because things that come out of there are generally synonymous with advanced and perfect.
Li Er glanced at Yun Ye strangely, and Fang Xuanling also smiled bitterly. Changsun Wuji said very directly: "Marquis Yun, please give me a price. As long as the humble house can afford it, I will have no problem."
Yun Ye waited for a while and saw that the emperor did not say anything else, but was waiting for Yun Ye to make an offer. He knew that the Changsun family was endlessly kind, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Changsun, you are right, this thing is from the Changsun family."
I really can’t afford it.”
Li Er's eyes lit up, Fang Xuanling turned his head and looked away, as if admiring the scenery, Changsun Wuji asked with a dark face: "But I don't know how much Yunhou asked for, so that even my eldest grandson's family can't afford it.
."
"Not much. Twelve thousand strings are enough."
Changsun Wuji was immediately stunned by this price. This was not an outrageous number. If it would greatly promote steel production as Yun Ye said, the asking price was not much, and could even be considered a high price.
Very generous price.
"Yun Ye, don't hide it. Say whatever you have to say. I also want to know why the Changsun family can't afford this money, which is only 10,000 yuan."
"If the Changsun family really wants this dossier, no problem, I will agree to the eight thousand strings, but please allow me to explain that this is the result of research half a year ago."
"So what? Could it be that the method used half a year ago cannot be used now?"
"Of course it works, there is no problem at all, but last month, they developed another method, which is even better than that one. This kind of academy costs 30,000 yuan, and you can't lose a penny."
"I understand, Yun Ye, what you mean is that the academy will study these knowledge endlessly in the future. In the process of research, the process of smelting steel will be continuously improved. Every time a new improvement occurs, the Changsun family will have to pay for it.
, and it gets more and more expensive every time. At this point, the Changsun family really can’t afford it.”
After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Changsun Wuji's face turned pale. What he said was absolutely correct. Whether it was eight thousand guan or thirty thousand guan, it would not take much effort for the Changsun family to buy it out. But once they keep buying it like this endlessly,
, no matter how rich the Changsun family is, they will be emptied out, and it’s not enough if they don’t buy it. Once a more sophisticated method falls into the hands of others, the Changsun family’s iron smelting industry will be destroyed. In the face of such technological advantages, the Changsun family
With no power to fight back, how could Changsun Wuji come up with a way to make amends with his power in front of the emperor? Could it be that the Changsun family will be led by the academy for generations to come?
Li Er once again felt his wisdom and prowess. He was very far-sighted when he jokingly agreed to establish an academy in Yushan. Originally, he was worried that it was not a good thing for the Changsun family to control the iron smelting industry. But now it seems that it is nothing more than that. The royal family and the court are all
There are iron smelting workshops. Once the Changsun family wants to do something, as long as they increase investment in these two iron smelting workshops and change the technology, they can immediately eat the Changsun family to death. Moreover, there is basically no solution. Just watch
Looking at Changsun Wuji's face, it was clear how confused he was at this time.
Li Er's thinking was sporadic. He immediately thought of other industries from iron smelting, such as boiling salt? Weaving cloth? Weaving wool? Spinning silk? Raising cattle and sheep, farming? As long as the imperial court increases investment in the academy's research,
He would strangle all economic lifeblood from the source. He knew deeply that just one fresh move would be enough to eat up the world.
The four of them had no intention of going to the examination room to see the candidates, so they came to Yun Ye's office. Li Er lay on Yun Ye's recliner and said to his eldest grandson: "Don't be nervous. Yun Ye is explaining a way, a possibility, for the great national cause."
There are benefits, and it can even be said to be a good strategy. If the court does not have curbing measures for any kind of industry, it will be dangerous and challenge the majesty of national law."
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Yun Ye all bowed in response. Now that Yun Ye had spoken out and achieved his goal of asking for additional investment, he decisively shut up and waited for Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji to come up with practical results.
feasible approach.
No one can come up with a perfect solution for a while. This requires everyone to argue with each other in the court until a result is reached. However, the funds invested in the academy will surely come down soon. The Yun family alone is indeed unable to support the academy.
The increasingly huge expenditure requires new financial support, and the royal family is the first choice.
Changsun Wuji suddenly said to Yun Ye: "I have only paid attention to political affairs in these years and have rarely been involved in family affairs. You can discuss these matters with Chong'er. He is a little depressed when he comes back from Yuezhou this time. You are good friends.
Just give me some advice."
Yun Ye said with a smile: "That's for sure. Even if Brother Chong doesn't want to, my nephew will cheer him up. Being attacked by two eagles is something that only happens in myths. He doesn't have to regret it."
Only then did Changsun Wuji become happy. Yun Ye said that if he went to see Changsun Chong, he would go to his home and tell him how to face such a dilemma. Since Yun Ye reported this strategy to the emperor in front of him, it meant that he
The eldest grandson's family is not treated as outsiders. As for the dilemma, there is always a way to solve it. There are countless ways to deal with evil and evil in this world. If there are tricks, there will naturally be answers. There is nothing surprising. I just didn't think about it.
It's just coming out. The court has been used to seeing changes in the situation over the years, and has seen a lot of strange tricks. It has been practiced for a long time. The expression just now was for the emperor to see, and everyone is used to doing it.
As he was about to leave the academy gate, Yun Ye was so startled by the oncoming carriage that he almost fell down. Six nobles from the palace came at once, and the first one was the queen. If the queen didn't follow, the other concubines would not have the right to run around.
Forgetting the banishment from the palace, a long row of official carriages followed closely behind. Looking at the flags, the Yun family's carriages were also mixed in with the crowd. They were all families with daughters who came to send their daughters to school.
"Your Majesty, is this a bit arrogant?" Yun Ye asked the emperor who was also looking dumbfounded.
"Well, it's so majestic. The Queen, Concubine Wei, and Concubine Yi are all here? Aren't only Gaoyang and Lanling going to school? Jin'an, Ankang, Xingxing, and Chengyang are also here? Yun Ye, take a fancy to my daughter.
If they have been wronged, I will skin you."
"It's unfair. I came to the academy just to be wronged. There are no conditions to negotiate. Look, they are pulling a bunch of things. Big bed? Brocade quilt? Rag doll? Table? Bathtub? Red-painted toilet? Cage? Maid?
Your Majesty, please tell me, how can any of these things be admitted into the academy? Mr. Li Gang will be so angry when he sees it."
"That's your business and has nothing to do with me. I just want my daughter to study well in the academy. The rest is your business. You still have the nerve to talk about the royal family. Your wife is also carrying big and small bags. I'll deal with you first."
Let’s comment on the royal family’s affairs later.”
Fang Xuanling laughed and said: "This is so good. The academy can always do what others can't. These little girls all go to the academy to study. They are really discerning. But, Marquis Yun, how can you deal with the matters between children?
You have to be careful, if something scandal spreads, haha, you can't explain it even if you have eighty mouths. If something happens to your daughter, and I come to your house and smash your ancestral tablets, you won't be able to say anything. You just try to be a father*
*Taste it."
"My daughter is timid and needs to be taken care of during thunder. You have to watch out. If something happens, I will really not spare you." Changsun Wuji looked lovingly at his daughter climbing down from the carriage, carrying a big package on her back.
Queue up there and get ready for inspection.
Lai Ying looked like he had eaten magpie shit, grinning to the base of his ears and talking softly to these delicate little ladies, and kept pointing at Yun Ye, more like a complaint than an introduction.
When Yun Ye turned around, Li Er had already got into the Queen's carriage. Changsun Wuji also got on his own carriage and stuck his head out of the window to see how Yun Ye would deal with it. As for Fang Xuanling, he had already
He leisurely walked along the white jade wall with his hands behind his back, carefully admiring the stone carvings on it, chanting loudly from time to time, and made up his mind not to get involved in this matter.
"Reporting to Marquis Yun, the ladies are all here. I just checked the maids. There are seventy-seven ladies, not one is lacking. They are all here. Please check, Marquis Yun."
"I remember there were only sixty-two people. Why are there fifteen more people?"
"Oops, I made a mistake in remembering. It turned out to be seventy-seven. I am naturally stupid and I miscounted, so it was seventy-seven. From now on, I will have to read the book carefully in the academy." (To be continued. Please search Gone with the Wind.
