Looking at the money in front of him, Qin Shi Huang was still a little confused.
Even though Zhao Lang had already told him that the great noble landowners of Great Qin had a lot of money.
He also hadn’t thought that the money he got in just one day would already be enough to cover the expenses of the academy for the next half a year.
And it was still because the initial expenses were big.
Any money obtained after that could go to support other places.
You know that there weren’t many places where Great Qin made money before.
Ministers and nobles who had money had nothing to do with Great Qin, and the emperor could not take money directly from these people.
After all, these are his own people.
Zhao Gao also said at this time with a few shocks that
“Your Majesty, there are still ministers and nobles outside the palace seeking an audience, look…”
Qin Shi Huang looked at the sky at this time, waved his hand and said.
“That’s just it, let’s stop here today.”
“Alas, Wave’s solution is good, but it’s just a bit too greedy for money.”
Anyone who listened to the wailing for an afternoon would be a little tired.
The point was that it wasn’t really good for him to just agree every time, otherwise it would seem like he was too unreserved.
Of course, the thought of having to face more people afterwards still made his heart feel a little diabolical.
He was at least the emperor of Great Qin, how was he doing the work of a businessman.
If it wasn’t for Wave’s plan, he wouldn’t have lowered himself.
He knew that Zhao Lang opened this academy not just to amass wealth, but for the next generation of these ministers and nobles!
This plan of exams to select talents was meant to be long lasting.
Listening to Qin Shi Huang’s complaints, Zhao Gao just smiled and said.
“It’s good to let the ministers wait a little bit, after all, everything is as rare as it is precious.”
“The old slave will go and make them leave.”
After saying that, Zhao Gao was about to retreat.
When Qin Shi Huang heard this, but his eyes lit up and said.
“Wait, you spread the word later that the Great Qin Royal Academy will only admit fifty noble children for this first semester.”
“It’s already enrolled more than thirty now!”
Zhao Gao was stunned to hear this, and then looked at Qin Shi Huang with a few moments of incredulity.
This was the one who was just saying that his son was greedy for money?
This tactic, it’s only higher than Zhao Lang’s ah!
He could even imagine how those nobles outside would grab for the remaining dozen or so slots if the word got out!
“What are you still standing there for? Why don’t you go pass the order?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Zhao Gao quickly left.
Only then did Emperor Qin Shi Huang return to rest with a smile on his face.
Soon enough, the news spread, and the most immediate consequence was that there were several times more ministers outside the palace the next day seeking an audience!
But this time, it was directly driven away by Emperor Qin Shi Huang by a big half, there are some is really can not stop, only to collect the money.
These are qualified to ask for an audience, there are still some small nobles can only look on with bated breath, want to send money are not this channel!
Zhao Lang also naturally got the news, listening to to the old man directly set the quota at fifty people, he can not help but froze for a moment, the
“Pops is still ruthless.”
There is a say one, he did not teach old dad this lack of virtue way.
He knew that after this time, the Royal Academy’s fame was completely out.
As for those other nobles, this money definitely can’t run away.
The first phase is only fifty people, the second phase can be expanded.
At the end of the day, no one will be able to escape!
For harvesting these ministers and aristocrats, Zhao Lang’s heart is half a bit of guilt.
The nobles of Great Qin, or the nobles of the world! None of them are clean!
In any case, the money obtained in the end was beyond Qin Shi Huang’s greatest imagination.
With money, things are naturally much better.
So on this day that the people of Xianyang thought was extremely unusual, in an estate donated by nobles, the Great Qin Royal Academy was founded.
Originally, according to Zhao Lang’s idea, the school was to be rebuilt.
But there was no time for that now, so it could only wait for afterwards.
The good thing is that right now, the students, the teachers combined are only less than two hundred, so it’s completely enough.
Of course, the atmosphere was still very warm.
The mere presence of the First Emperor of Great Qin himself already made all the nobles who came in feel that it was totally worth the money!
Although the other party left quickly as well, and their faces seemed to be a little red.
But His Highness, the Crown Prince of Great Qin, had personally come to lead this entrance ceremony.
After that, the core figures of the Hundred Schools of Thought, who normally wouldn’t even see his face once, appeared in the academy as teachers.
It was even more so that all the aristocrats who were present were flushed with excitement!
Of course, not everyone was happy.
Once the ceremony was completed, Zhao Lang was surrounded by several old men in a corner.
“Hey, hey, aren’t the few teachers going to prepare for their lessons yet?”
Zhao Lang said with a smile.
Kong A blew his beard and eyes out at this time, pointing at a demented and fat student not far away and said.
“This is what you call the future of the Great Qin Dynasty! This child is not as good as a child who has been enrolled in the Crane School for a year!”
The other teachers also glared angrily!
They weren’t afraid of Zhao Lang!
The reason they came over was because Zhao Lang had said so before.
The Great Qin Royal Academy was meant to train the next generation of Great Qin’s powerful nobles, and if they could be included in their school.
Then the ones who would govern Great Qin after that would be the school of the Hundred Schools of Thought!
That’s why they rushed upwards with bated breath and even offered money!
But who knows, as soon as they entered the place, they saw all kinds of students.
Some of the students’ talents were not even comparable to the current Crane School!
How could they possibly tolerate this?
Immediately, they surrounded Zhao Lang, ready to settle the battle with the other party.
But in the face of questioning, Zhao Lang didn’t panic at all, but said.
“Several teachers, student I’m not wrong, this child’s father is a Higher Official of the Imperial Captain’s Office, according to the rules, even if he can’t reach a high position after that, he will definitely enter the Imperial Captain’s Office, this is the rule!”
“Moreover, this courtyard can be what his father donated.”
“And the students of the Crane School, even if they are outstanding, unless the student I use the power of the Crown Prince, they will only be able to start from the lowest level of officials.”
“And then slowly climb up!”
“This is also the rule!”
“So, instead of scolding the student, all teachers should think about how to teach him.”
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but fall silent.
Even Wang Jian, who had never flinched in the face of Qin Shi Huang, was silent.
He was a Qin official, so he naturally knew that Zhao Lang was telling the truth, to put it mildly.
If he and Wang Ben weren’t here, with Wang Li’s talent, could he have reached his current position?
But could he object?
Seeing that several teachers were silent, Zhao Lang said at this time that
“Several teachers don’t need to be discouraged, this is only the first batch, there will definitely be an expansion after this.”
“And didn’t we promise the teachers a large number of students before?”
“That’s a lot of money to build schools in other counties, isn’t it? Isn’t that where the money comes from.”
It took a while of consoling before Zhao Lang was able to calm several teachers down.
“Good! I’ll trust you once more! If the Crane Schools in the counties aren’t built next year, we’ll come together and skin you!”
A few old men threw out harsh words before leaving, then squeezed out smiles and went to deal with the various nobles.
Zhao Lang clicked his tongue, being scolded by a teacher is scolding, what else can he say back.
Just as he was about to leave, a sudden gust of autumn wind blew by, Zhao Lang shrunk his neck and looked at the autumn leaves falling all over the courtyard, and instantly realised that the
“It’s going to be winter ah.”
