"Of course not. The annual income of millions of taels of silver is all given to you. What do you think?"
Lin Fan said speechlessly.
Forehead……
Everyone was speechless, and Bai was excited just now. If so much money is not given to them, will it fall into the hands of the imperial court?
"Your Highness, please don't tell us that this money will eventually fall into the hands of the imperial court!"
"Haha! I thought His Highness the Crown Prince was so benevolent and righteous, but it turns out he is also a despicable and shameless villain. He cooperated with us just to get away with nothing!"
"No, this is not a white wolf with empty gloves. He is clearly trying to steal wool from us. Three million taels of silver. You gave us tens of thousands of taels and took away all the money?"
"Your Highness, we are not fools!"
Everyone said coldly.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes at these people. He just gave each of them 10,000 yuan a year and divided them into rooms. They agreed. When they heard about the income of this college, their faces immediately changed!
"Well, who will pay for the college's initial investment?
The imperial court provides the most money, so why don’t I let you earn even a dime and give it all to you?”
"Don't forget, once it accepts the adaptation, the academy is the property of the imperial court, and the income will naturally belong to the imperial court. Likewise, the losses will also belong to the imperial court."
“Do you think that with three million taels in tuition fees, the imperial court can earn three million taels?
Your salary, the teacher’s salary, after a year, is still hundreds of thousands of taels, right?”
"When you are teaching in normal times, you also need some equipment, such as the wear and tear of weapons, etc. These are all solved by the court. After one year, it will not be more than a hundred thousand taels, right?"
"Since it is an academy, the income must be taxed, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have been spent. Your students were all trained by the imperial court for free from childhood."
"This cost is immeasurable. Therefore, the money earned is to make up for the initial loss of the imperial court. Do you think the imperial court still earns your money?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
this……
After what Lin Fan said, these people all felt that the imperial court might not earn a penny and would have to pay back a lot.
"Your Highness, after all this calculation, the imperial court has invested too much in education, and yet it still gives us such good conditions. We feel guilty!"
"Yes, we can earn ten thousand taels every year, but the money spent by the court to train these children every year is not even worth fifty million taels!"
"Alas! Your Highness, I agree!"
Everyone said one after another.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "All this is for the Ming Dynasty to become stronger and stronger!"
"Wow! Your Highness, this is so touching. Everything you have done for the people of the Ming Dynasty has moved our hearts!"
All the people in the group started crying.
Lin Fan pretended to be very touched and said: "You are all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty. You must cultivate more talents for the Ming Dynasty in the future!"
"Come on, I just have a drafted contract here. Just sign it and you can go back with your disciples. I will send someone back to help you build the academy."
kindness?
Everyone raised their heads, looked at the contract in Lin Fan's hand, and asked: "This... Your Highness, what kind of contract is this?"
"Oh, to put it bluntly, it's just an agreement. Let's discuss it and get it verified. As long as I sign it, I can't go back on it!"
Lin Fan said.
"Okay! Your Highness the Crown Prince is very trustworthy. Come on! Everyone signs it!"
One person took the lead.
Everyone signed their names one after another, and then Lin Fan sent someone to send them out. Disciples from all the sects were standing outside the door waiting. When they saw the leader coming out, they all gathered around.
"Master! How is it?
Did His Highness the Crown Prince agree to our request?"
"Master, does His Highness the Crown Prince still want to wipe out our sects? Huh! He has pushed us into a panic. At worst, we will fight him to the death!"
"There are more than 10,000 of us. If we fight to the death with him, he may not be our opponent!"
A group of disciples said coldly.
The heads of the various sects said with smiles on their faces: "Shut up, all of you! His Royal Highness is kind-hearted. He not only allowed us sects to continue to exist, but also gave us money!"
"That's right! From now on, we will no longer be a sect, but an academy. After selection, you can become teachers of the academy, and you will receive a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver!"
"That's not all. In the future, you can also join the court as officials and serve the country. The court will send us students every year and pay us tuition fees!"
…
The heads of various sects became more and more excited as they talked, and everyone present became excited.
"Great! I didn't expect that not only were we not eliminated, but we received strong support from His Highness the Crown Prince. Who else would dare to go against us in the world in the future!"
"In the future, we will also be able to receive salaries. Doesn't it mean that if we save some money, we can still marry and have children!"
…
The disciples were extremely excited. What they didn't know was that from today onwards, the martial arts world began to decline, and the world was gone.
After these people left, Zhu Cijiong walked in, looked at Lin Fan, and said, "Brother! Those people just left. How did you convince them?"
"It's very simple. There is no conflict between my interests and theirs. Since there is no conflict, they will naturally not make things difficult for me!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Do not conflict?
Could it be that my brother allowed them to continue to exist?"
Zhu Cijiong asked.
"I didn't originally plan to eliminate them. I just wanted to adapt them. If they were willing to accept the adaptation, I would give them money. If they wanted the money, they would naturally agree!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Give them money! Brother, our court's finances have just improved. Aren't you afraid of problems if you spend such a large amount of money?"
Zhu Cijiong asked in a deep voice.
"Brother, you don't know how much money these sects can make after being transformed into academies. Among other things, the landlords and gentry all want their sons to learn martial arts!"
"For this purpose, they are willing to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. If a college accepts a thousand students a year, this is tens of millions of taels, and the money will be returned in exchange for money!"
"Brother, I insisted on adapting it just to make money quickly. Isn't it worth it to get big returns with a small investment?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"A college can earn tens of millions of taels a year! Brother! How is this possible!"
Zhu Cijiong said in shock.
"Haha! You will know this later. The most important thing is, isn't it cost-effective to spend some money to subdue these martial arts people?"
"In the future, if there is war within the Ming Dynasty and it is inconvenient to mobilize the army, we can let students of these martial arts sects do it and regard it as a practice!"
