Chapter 43: No choice but to crowdfund

 Moving mountains and filling rivers gave Li Ke a reputation as a laborious man.

But the removal of Wuxing Mountain really opened up the territory, and Li Er set up a military fortress at the old Wuxing Mountain location.

The territory's borders expanded a lot to the west, completely taking root in the former site of Wuxing Mountain.

For this reason, Li Er suppressed many voices against Li Ke.

Now another academy is being built, and Li Er not only does not stop it,

We should also confer the title of King of Wu to improve Li Ke's status and take charge of Wuji Academy as King of Wu.

Wei Zheng was so angry that he called Li Ke the foolish prince who defeated the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that Li Er is the emperor who protects the calf in the late festival.

Except for Wei Zheng, no one dared to oppose it.

Li Ke gained a large amount of violence points, and he didn’t have time to be happy yet,

He was hit in the head by Li Er.

After resigning from the court, Li Er left Li Ke alone and explained the matter of building the academy in detail.

"What? Father? Did you make a mistake?

To build an academy, I only give people no money, so how can I build it..." Li Ke was a little confused.

"Ke'er, you need to know the real use of the treasury. Our Datang has fought several wars recently, and there may be several more to come.

In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, there were too many places that cost money..." Li Er began to cry to Li Ke about his poverty.

"Father, don't cry poverty to Ke'er, you can still afford the money to build an academy!" Li Ke looked into Li Er's eyes, "Father, it's really not possible, your little treasury..."

Li Er decisively refused to pay out of his own pocket, and then kicked the coquettish Li Ke out.

Helpless, it’s hard to move forward without money, but Li Ke is already riding a tiger and can’t get off.

Looking at the hundreds of thousands of heads outside the customs, Li Ke felt his head numb.

How much food do these people eat in a day!

The first two times it was okay to receive funding from the treasury, but this time we have to solve it ourselves.

Whatever, I’ll just have to be thicker-skinned then.

"General Li, um...can we streamline some of the labor force?" Li Ke decided to cut back some, which was a shameless slap in the face.

"Is King Wu worried about money and food?" Li Jing knew Li Ke's difficulties well.

Li Jing, who had served as the general manager of the march, naturally knew the difficulty.

Although building an academy is not the same as marching and fighting, the principles are the same.

Li Ke nodded and admitted, "Father promised me manpower, but I have to deal with the money and food myself."

"Li Jing thinks he still has some family wealth, and he is willing to use it to help King Wu build an academy." Li Jing's words immediately made Li Ke suddenly enlightened.

Yes, if you don’t have money, you can start from some corrupt officials.

No wonder Li Er gave him a golden bowl before he left.

He was promised that he could raise money with the golden bowl, but he didn't come back to his senses at that time.

Only now do I know Li Er’s cunningness.

It can not only solve the financial problem of building the academy, but also free the blood of corrupt officials.

Let corrupt officials restrain themselves.

This is a mansion!

This is definitely the most expensive one in Chang'an City.

If the owner of this family hadn't kept a low profile, I'm afraid its scale and regulations could be comparable to the palace.

Naturally, only Empress Changsun’s brother Changsun Wuji would dare to live in such a beautiful and spacious house in this location.

The incense burner carved with Suan Ni is filled with smoke, and the last calligraphy and painting is hung on the wall.

In addition to solitary books, there are also rare treasures on the bookshelf.

Changsun Wuji, who is gorgeously dressed, is playing with two luminous pearls in his hands.

In front of you is a rich and fragrant famous tea, and behind you is a maid gently squeezing your shoulders.

This is a kind of life, a luxurious and comfortable life.

A retainer poked his head in. Changsun Wuji immediately stepped aside and let the retainer come in to talk.

"How is the situation?" Changsun Wuji asked seriously.

"King Wu begged almost all the famous generals who founded the Tang Dynasty for money,

It is said that he is preparing to go to the Duke of Qi's mansion to ask for money.

Said it was to raise money and food for the construction of the academy!"
