After all that was done, it was late in the evening.
When the ministers who had children over, left with Zhao Lang’s reward, the other ministers had something in their minds.
Their own children weren’t bad either!
The next time there was an opportunity like this, of course they wouldn’t let it go.
Zhao Lang also returned to the back of the courtroom at this time, this time, he wasn’t as wild as before, he already knew that his old man was right behind the door.
“Father, you’re here.”
Qin Shi Huang looked at the honest Zhao Lang in front of him, but in his heart, there were a few indescribably strange things.
He now finally knew what Zhao Lang had asked the smithing supervisor to print the other day.
But this honest boy in front of him was the one who had just taken his own ministers outside, with a small test paper, in his hands?
“If I don’t come, are you going to use this piece of paper to pit these ministers against each other?”
Emperor Qin Shi Huang said at this time without any good reason.
Today, Zhao Lang used this piece of paper to actually divide the relationship between the various ministers and nobles.
No matter how powerful the nobles were, they couldn’t stop the other smaller nobles from moving up!
Today, even though it was still the child of the older minister and noble who got the position, the way of obtaining the position had changed!
Moreover, the other child getting the position was still the best thing that could have happened.
The other noble’s child getting it might have to worry about the other party’s opposition, or private tripping.
But if your own child gets it, can you oppose it?
You still have to support it!
That’s f*cked up!
The kid wasn’t the other side’s firstborn, but all Zhao Lang wanted was an example!
He now wondered if this person had been privately tampered with by Zhao Lang!
purposely selected the other party.
Zhao Lang, however, shook his head straight as he listened and said.
“Father, this is just where we are, today is just a test, the road after this is still long.”
“Besides, when did child pit them?”
“All of the ministers’ children have also been given new positions, and child has also given them the beautiful name of Thirty-Six Gentlemen.”
“Uncle Zhao, I’ll trouble you to spread the word about the court tomorrow, and properly praise these thirty-six people, they’re all great talents!”
He was telling the truth, he had never thought of dividing these old-school nobles from the start.
What was the point of bothering with this effort?
What he wanted to do was to replace this group of people, with a new generation!
Even if these thirty-six people were originally the descendants of these old nobles, after this time.
As long as these people are tied to themselves, then they will be seen as people from the Crown Prince’s lineage!
As the beneficiaries of the examination, these people would of course strongly support this approach!
And as he first established the way, the next time would be a soft knife to cut the meat.
The big nobles couldn’t stop the numerous small nobles, so could the small nobles stop the numerous small officials below?
Can the small officials stop those who grow up after that, the many people?
Hearing the command, Zhao Gao looked at Qin Shi Huang with some uncertainty.
Today, he could say that Zhao Lang’s operation was breathtaking.
But the impact inside, if one saw a little bit of it, one would know how powerful it would be!
Qin Shi Huang took a slight breath at this time, and after a moment of contemplation, he said.
“Go, proclaim the proclamation of their talents, and by the way, mention this method of selecting materials.”
Zhao Gao immediately led the order.
Qin Shi Huang then said to Zhao Lang that
“Now that Great Qin has only just stabilised for a short while, and the Xiong Nu is still watching from the outside, we can’t be so aggressive in the courtroom!”
“After that, you give me the opportunity to honestly handle political affairs, and no more devilry is allowed!”
Within just over two months of Zhao Lang’s supervision, this wave of operations had already left the ministers somewhat overwhelmed.
Now that Great Qin was experiencing difficulties internally and threats externally, it couldn’t withstand any more major ups and downs.
Hearing this, Zhao Lang nodded with some regret and
“Yes, Father.”
All right.
Just be honest and solid about what you’ve arranged this winter is all.
Pops was right about one thing: you can’t rush everything, you can’t rush it!
Zhao Lang was about to leave when he suddenly rang something and said.
“However, Father…”
“But what?”
Without waiting for Zhao Lang to finish his sentence, Qin Shi Huang asked with extreme vigilance.
Zhao Lang said back.
“I want to speak to these ministers and nobles and send their children to my Crane School, that’s fine, right?”
Emperor Qin Shi Huang thought about it faintly, and there didn’t seem to be any problem with this centralised sending to an academy.
It was even a good thing to know that the various teachers inside the Crane Ming Academy right now, those were all great talents of the Hundred Schools of Thought!
However…
“Nowadays, most of the children of the people inside the Crane School, these people might not accept it.”
Even though Zhao Lang valued the people’s education, the various ministers and nobles would not be so kind.
Pariahs were pariahs!
How could they study and live together with the children of nobles?
There is no such thing!
Zhao Lang said with a smirk at this time.
“There’s no harm, we’ll just re-open another Great Qin Royal Academy in Xianyang.”
“Let all the royal clan children go in to study, won’t this identity problem be solved?”
Qin Shi Huang was slightly stunned at this, indeed, one cannot say that the status of the royal children is inferior to these nobles.
It was just that Qin Shi Huang was slightly embarrassed and said.
“This is a good idea, but it will have to wait for the coming year, this treasury is also not generous.”
Zhao Gao on the side also laughed bitterly, not only is it not generous, it is simply that there is not even a single mouse!
Zhao Lang laughed and
“Father, why do we still have to pay for running this school?”
“A few words of Great Qin Royal Academy are enough, these ministers send their children in, don’t they have to pay tuition fees?”
Although Great Qin was poor right now, the various nobles still had money.
Zhao Lang could remember that in his previous life, when the old Zhu family of Da Ming was destroyed as a nation, they couldn’t raise any money.
However, when it was really destroyed, those ministers and nobles had a lot of money!
Then all of them were taken clean by the enemy army, the real irony.
Qin Shi Huang blinked and said with some embarrassment that
“Isn’t this too mercenary?”
Zhao Lang hemmed and hawed and said.
“Father, we’re not charging any money, think about it, this is a school that is specially run for the royal children.”
“You, the First Emperor of Great Qin is the headmaster!”
“The teachers hired, those are the best of the Hundred Schools! The original Vantage Point of Mohism! The original Head Ru of Confucianism! Uncle Li of Legalism will also be there! And the original Yin-Yang School, the Ghost Valley School!”
“These are all great people! How precious are these schools of just?”
“Not to mention the environment, the lot is the best lot, the chairs in the school, those are all precious wood! The Mozi disciples do it by hand!”
“This status, need we say more?”
“Only then, now there are still some more places just, just want to get close to the minister’s children.”
“Ministers must send money in, we can’t stop ah, these people are following you into death, can you still bear to refuse these ministers? Is this appropriate?”
After hearing this, Emperor Qin Shi Huang couldn’t help but stay slightly dumbfounded for a moment, and after a moment’s thought, he dryly said.
“Well, this is indeed not quite appropriate.”
Zhao Lang nodded and returned, saying.
“Won’t this do?”
“And then what about our school, three months a term, this fee is paid by term.”
“All kinds of professional equipment can not be less, right, you see this, paper also need money, right? ”
Hearing these, Qin Shi Huang asked, somewhat incredulously.
“Aren’t all these things free in the Crane School?”
Zhao Lang’s eyes glazed over as he heard this and said.
“Father, what are you talking about? How can this aristocrat use those low-end goods?”
“The brushes from the Crane School are made of ordinary materials, this Royal School’s, they must be made of precious wood!”
“And this paper, the one used by the Royal Academy must have some spices on it, and ah, this…”
Zhao Lang didn’t finish his words, but Qin Shi Huang’s face turned slightly pale as he put a stop to it, then said.
“Long’er, this specific thing, you can just talk to Zhao Gao.”
“This I’m a bit tired, that, so I’ll go back to rest first.”
Emperor Qin Shi Huang was now a bit overwhelmed, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold back and ruthlessly beat up Zhao Lang, who was even more mercenary than a businessman, in front of him!
Zhao Lang could only nod regretfully, he still had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
It was rare that he wanted to share them.
Yet, he could only say.
“OK, Pops, I’ll take you back.”
Qin Shi Huang waved his hand and returned, the
“No need, you’d better think about how to convince those gentlemen of yours.”
The gentlemen learned each other one by one, but they were tightly covered.
And the relationship with the noble minister’s is also a bit delicate.
Zhao Lang but grinned and said.
“This matter you can rest assured, child will directly say, these people in the future is also the pillars of the Great Qin, give them a chance to use academics to govern the world, do you think they will want it?”
Hearing this, Emperor Qin Shi Huang directly turned around without making a sound and left.
Each and every one of the Hundred Schools of Thought dreamed of having such an opportunity to govern the world with their own school of thought.
Even if they knew that there was a pit inside, they would still jump into it for the sake of that one line of possibility, the kind that they couldn’t even pull.
However, speaking of this, Zhao Lang suddenly remembered something and said to himself.
“Well, why don’t we let a few teachers, whoever gives more money, teach more people.”
Although he was already nominally the chief, he was still a bit far from truly commanding the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Let’s say the Ghost Valley School, Ghost Valley Zi was still the actual leader.
These people can be rich and tight.
When.
Before Zhao Lang’s words fell, he saw that Uncle Zhao, who had only just followed his old man from his side, saw the small object in his hand fall directly to the ground.
Unbelievably, he glanced at Zhao Lang before picking the object up and following Qin Shi Huang away.
As for the Big Dog and Nu on the side, they were both looking at Zhao Lang with admiration on their faces.
One didn’t have to spend a single cent to build an academy and even make money!
Such a talent, who else but their own master!
How could they not admire it?
Zhao Lang stroked his chin as he walked back to his palace.
In the next few days, calm was finally restored in the courtroom.
Only the matter of the Thirty-Six Gentlemen kept everyone entertained.
His Highness the Crown Prince’s reputation within the young nobles was still very high.
Among the young people, who didn’t want to be someone who was appreciated by His Highness the Crown Prince?
Under Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s strict orders, Zhao Lang had been honestly handling the imperial government, except for a few trips to the Crane School.
It also let the ministers breathe a sigh of relief.
Having been plainly punked twice by Zhao Lang, of course they had all grown to remember.
Just guard against each other.
Now it’s finally subsided.
It’s just that I don’t know when it started, but a small piece of news began to circulate in the circle of nobles in Xianyang City.
As we all know, gossip is the fastest and widest spread.
“Hey, have you heard? There’s a new academy in Xianyang! The Great Qin Royal Academy! His Majesty is the headmaster! The teachers are the original heads of the Hundred Schools of Thought!”
“Really? But this has nothing to do with us, they’re all royal children!”
“Who said that? I heard that His Majesty originally wanted to let the noble children in as well, only that this cost is tight, and now only those thirty-six gentlemen from before are allowed in!”
“What? There is still such a thing? That, I still have things to do, so I’ll leave first.”
“Hey, what are you doing?”
On this day, Emperor Qin Shi Huang was taking a rare rest when Zhao Gao suddenly walked in with an odd expression on his face and said.
“Your Majesty, there are ministers and nobles outside the door seeking an audience.”
Qin Shi Huang waved his hand and said.
“Didn’t you say so earlier, all these political matters, now go to Wave.”
There were courtiers who sought an audience before, but they were all blocked back by him.
Zhao Gao said at this time.
“Your Majesty, this time it’s not because of political matters, but because of the Great Qin Royal Academy.”
“Hmm?”
Emperor Qin Shi Huang raised his head at once, pondered for a moment, and said.
“Let him come in.”
Soon, a minister and nobleman arrived in front of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, and after the ruler and ministers met and saluted.
Qin Shi Huang said straight away.
“What is the reason for seeking an audience today?”
The minister and nobleman said, with a smile
“Your Majesty, I have heard that Your Majesty is opening a Royal Academy.”
At this time, Qin Shi Huang clacked his lips and said back, the
“I do have this intention, it’s just that…”
He was still somewhat unable to pull this face in the end.
Who knew that that minister noble directly saluted and said.
“Your Majesty, my child has a strong desire to learn! I hope to be able to enter the academy and enjoy the elegance of all the greats!”
“I know that the state treasury is tight nowadays, so I’ve sold off some of my family’s assets in the hope that Your Majesty will give him a chance!”
Qin Shi Huang looked at the ministers and nobles in front of him, winked, and continued, saying that
“I…”
“Your Majesty! Do you still remember, I followed you in the southern and northern battles back then, and I also made a lot of achievements!”
“It’s just that my child is stupid, please give your majesty a chance!”
Looking at the tearful courtier, Emperor Qin Shi Huang was somewhat speechless in his heart, and finally resisting the other party’s pleas, he said.
“Alright, get up! I promise!”
Hearing this, the minister and nobleman immediately revealed a smiling face and directly took out a piece of cloth and silk and said.
“Your Majesty, this is a small token of appreciation from my minister to the academy gentleman, please accept it on your behalf.”
Qin Shi Huang nodded before Zhao Gao on the side took it.
The ministers and nobles immediately bowed and retired with a smile.
“Your Majesty…”
Zhao Gao sent the cloth and silk to Qin Shi Huang at this time.
Looking at the amount of money written on it, Qin Shi Huang couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment and was about to say something.
An attendant hurriedly walked in and
“Your Majesty, a minister seeks an audience.”
Zhao Gao looked at Qin Shi Huang, and when he saw the other party nodding, he said.
“Let him come in.”
Not long after, a minister and nobleman walked in, and as soon as he entered, he said.
“Your Majesty! The old minister has followed you in the south and north, ah, but the children at home have been delayed…”
…
In the evening, Emperor Qin Shi Huang looked at the dozens of pieces of cloth and silk in front of him and muttered that
“This money, is it so easy to earn?”
