Chapter 732: Big money burner

"Children have different ideas."
Liu Ling has been detained and is under strict supervision by Chang En's confidant.
Emperor Wen De looked at Liu Zhao, "Tell me what you think."
At this time, Emperor Wen De was in a good mood, and if he was caught in serious trouble, he could sit back and relax.
"Erchen thinks it's better to just kill Liu Ling. Keeping him is a problem after all. And he always likes to yell, and the son is afraid that he will talk too much and miss it."
Liu Zhi is blunt.
Emperor Wen De looked towards Chang En.
Chang En nodded slightly, "In order to prevent him from talking nonsense, he will keep gagging his mouth."
"Can it be blocked? Every time he speaks, he has to kill a group of people who can hear him? The proper people are killed. Who else can look at him?"
Liu Zhao refuted Chang En.
It is impossible to keep Liu Ling's mouth closed. He always has to eat and drink.
Chang En broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Emperor Wen De, "Your Majesty, do you want to..." He pulled out Liu Ling's tongue.
Emperor Wen De looked hesitant.
The existence of Liu Ling must never be known.
Liu Zhao said in a loud voice: "Father, Liu Ling's identity has been confirmed. It is superfluous to keep him. As for those anti-thief, they are already at the end of the battle and will be wiped out sooner or later."
"Does the anti-thief know you captured Liu Ling?"
"You may know, or you may not know. Erchen did this secretly, and he was not interrogated on the road. Even the people around Erchen didn't know Liu Ling's true identity."
Emperor Wen De narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was guessing what Liu Zhao meant.
Is it reassuring him?
Emperor Wen De laughed, and had to say that as long as Liu Zhao was more acquainted, he would become very pleasing to the eye.
Emperor Wende looked at the Young Man's Family Ling, "Jian Ling, what do you think of this matter?"
The Young Man's Family Ling bowed and said, "If your Majesty wants to keep Liu Ling's life, you can make him a monk, and he will be guarded."
Emperor Wen De played with a jade jue and laughed, "You don't need to lose your hair to become a monk. A royal abandoned son, I can still see it. I said that I should put the heads of his family, wives and children in front of him. , I will do what I say. I want him to know that if I dare to rebel, I want him to die!"
As soon as the dead word came out, Emperor Wende glanced at Liu Zhao intentionally or unintentionally, and the hall was extremely quiet.
Liu Zhao bowed and said: "The sons and ministers are willing to share the worries for his father and arrest all the family, wives and children of the anti-thief Liu Ling."
"It's a trivial matter, why don't the dignified prince go out in person. I know your filial heart."
Liu Zhao immediately laughed, "Actually, Erchen is not willing to go. What I said just now is just a scene. Since the rain in Jiangling Prefecture, the weather has become extremely humid. Erchen did not adapt to the weather there and ate. A lot of pain, very tired. My body is itchy and painful. Should my father give the son-chen some soup and medicine?"
Emperor Wen De was angry and laughed, "Dare to love you are talking to me? Do you know, you are deceiving the king."
Liu Zhao chuckled, "In front of the father, the children always said something. The children are still thinking about Xiaojiu and a few children. Father, why don't you order the adults to give me the money now, I Hurry out of the palace and go to the mountains."
The young man made his beard tremble, "Why do you want the young man to pay? Your Highness is too much."
Liu Zhao squatted his teeth and rushed to the family of the young man to make a happy one, "Who makes the young man rich. My Royal Highness went out to buy food and arrest people. He spent a lot of money on the road. The young man had to make up for the deficit. , The father should also reward his son, don’t need anything else, just give money directly.

Wen De Di Le, "You are so short of money? Is Gu Jiu's money not enough for you to spend?"
Liu Zhaozheng'er said arguably: "The money Xiaojiu earns is her dowry. I am a magnificent man, how can I use a woman's money. Moreover, when the children grow up day by day, I can’t keep it as a father. Give them a debt. At any rate, I have to save some possessions for a few children so that they know that I am working hard to make money for them."
Emperor Wen De chuckled, "It's really black near the ink, just like Gu Jiu, I got into the eyes of money. You first step back!"
"Son's money?"
"I won't miss you a penny. I won't return it."
Liu Zhao bowed to resign, and blinked at Shaofu Jialing when he left. He will go to the young mansion to ask for money tomorrow.
Shaofu family orders have snack stuff.
Does he owe Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao's couple?
"This stinky boy, just came back and talked about money with me. I think he is crazy." Emperor Wen De complained.
Shaofu Jialing said with a smile: "His Royal Highness spends a lot of money, and it is normal that the money is not enough. Fortunately, he asks his Majesty for money in an upright manner, instead of arrogantly seeking out power for personal gain."
Emperor Wen De was amused and said, "Liu Zhao has a bad temper and speaks violently. Winners are doing things reliably, not using power for personal gain. Anyway, Gu Jiu can make money, he can't make money everywhere."
Shaofu Jialing said: "Shanhe Academy is supported by Madam Zhao alone, and the monthly expenses are huge. It is estimated that the couple really don't have much money left on their hands."
Emperor Wen De nodded, "Gu Jiu opened the Shanhe Academy to allow students from all over the world to study for free, which benefited a large number of poor students. This is commendable. If the rich are like Gu Jiu, they are still thinking about the people's livelihood. , I can save a lot of worry. I remember that in the last year's examination, there were more than 20 scholars in the Shanhe Academy."
Chang En hurriedly said, "A total of 23 people."
"I still remember that of these two dozen people, several of them were born in poor peasant households. Others are not wealthy, mostly from small families in the market. Very good, very good! The court just needs more officials of this kind. Don’t let the children of the official family dominate the court and monopolize the imperial examination."
Xiaofu Jialing nodded again and again, "Your Majesty said it is very true. The rich are always rich, and the poor are always poor, because the rich have almost monopolized the imperial examination. The two list of scholars in the previous decades have been combined, and they belonged to poor farmers and small families. There are fewer than 100 people, which is really worrying."
"Is it less than a hundred people?" Emperor Wen De's expression changed when he heard this number.
In other words, over the past few decades, ninety-nine percent of the two-ranked scholars who add up to several thousand people come from official families and wealthy families.
No wonder the people are getting poorer, but the rich are getting richer.
Shaofu Jialing added,
Shanhe Academy has allowed 23 more scholars from farmers and petty families in just a few years. It’s really commendable. It can be seen that children from rural and petty families can’t read. It's that they didn't have the opportunity to study, and they didn't have the opportunity to meet mentor guidance."
Emperor Wende nodded repeatedly, "The ancestors meant to break the existing rules of the Imperial College?"
"If you want more peasant children to study, participate in the imperial examination, and serve the court, the most fundamental thing is to change the state of the county school. The Imperial College is just a minor part."
"Difficult!" Emperor Wen De let out a helpless sigh.
"What your majesty said. This requires a large investment from the court."
However, based on the current income and expenditure situation of the Ministry of Households, it is not easy to be able to pay officials' salaries on time and meet the needs of the army.
One million taels every year to develop basic education can only depend on dreaming.
Basic education cannot be developed overnight.
Year after year, ten years, twenty years, we can see results.
too slow!
The investment is too much.
If the children of the peasant family want to study, they still have to count on their family members.
For this reason, the Shanhe Academy run by Gu Jiu is particularly precious.
Not only reading is free, but even food, clothing, housing, pen, ink, paper and ink are all free.
Raising so many students, the annual expenditure is probably over a million taels.
Shaofu Jialing said: "Mrs. Zhao opened the Shanhe Academy to benefit scholars, the imperial court, and the great Zhou Jiangshan. There is a lot of expenditure, perhaps less than a million taels a year. It is no wonder that the hall is insane. "
Huh?
Is that right?
Emperor Wen De asked: "Shanhe Academy needs millions of taels a year? Is there so much?"
Shaofu Jialing said earnestly: "Your Majesty does not know that all the students in Shanhe Academy are free of charge, from food, clothing and housing to pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The teaching in the Academy is hired with high salaries.
In addition, the academy built a library with many rare and rare books, all of which were bought at a price. All in all, for every penny spent by Shanhe Academy, Madam Zhao would lose one penny.
And Madam Zhao could hardly get a penny of profit from Shanhe Academy, even her reputation. Because few people know that the owner behind Shanhe Academy is actually Mrs. Zhao.
This is an ongoing huge expense, and anyone can be overwhelmed. Only Mrs. Zhao, who has clenched her teeth and persisted in these years, has expanded the Shanhe Academy and benefited more and more students. In this way, it is not difficult to understand why His Highness asks for money when he opens his mouth and asks for money when he closes his mouth. "
The young man's Lingyu is heart-warming, and he is rectifying Gu Jiu's name.
Chang En secretly glanced at the Order of the Shaofu Family, guessing in his heart, how much benefit the Order of the Shaofu Family had received from Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao would spare no effort to help speak.
It's useless to say something similar from someone else's mouth.
But from the mouth of Shaofu Jialing, the effect is quite different.
Xiaofu Jialing is in charge of the money. He said that the expenditure of Shanhe Academy is no less than one million taels a year, and Emperor Wen De will definitely not doubt it.
How much does Shanhe Academy cost? Who knows?
Come without opening your mouth.
However, Chang En would not tell the guess in his heart.
He is a man of measure.
Know what to say and what not to say.
Emperor Wende gently tapped on the tabletop, "Gu Jiu gave money to open the Shanhe Academy, which benefits students without mathematics and should be commended. Liu Zhaolai has done a good job in disaster relief and captured Liu Ling for me. I will not let the heroes chill. I know this. , Ancestors retreat."
The young man's family led the order and exited the hall.
Emperor Wende asked Chang En, "How do I give Liu Zhao the merits?"
