The rise of Tianzhu of Daqin

Chapter 121 Power Transaction

"As soon as Ying Xuan said this, everyone immediately turned their attention to Ying Xuan. Ying Xuan's question was so straightforward, they naturally couldn't hide their purpose.

But Yingxuan's question was so straightforward that they couldn't grasp Yingxuan's attitude for a while, and they turned their attention to Princess Huayang.

There is a natural difference in status between them and Yingxuan, it is not easy to argue with Yingxuan, but Princess Huayang is different, she is the princess of the empire and the helm of the royal family, she has the capital to wrestle with Yingxuan.

Sensing that everyone's eyes were on her, Princess Huayang knew what everyone was thinking, but facing a wounded person like Yingxuan, even if she was a princess, she was not [-]% sure to convince Yingxuan.

Thinking of this, she already had an idea in her heart, and decided to test Ying Xuan's bottom line first.

"Uncle Huang, my father ordered you to build an academy, what plans does Uncle Huang have?"

Ying Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Princess Huayang, looking at Princess Huayang, who felt hairy in her heart. Just when Princess Huayang was about to continue speaking, Ying Xuan spoke.

"Everyone is well-informed," Ying Xuan said with a sad face, "Your Majesty did let me take charge of the preparations for the establishment of the Kyushu Academy."

"Kyushu Academy cultivates talents for the empire and has the merit of educating all peoples. Why is Hou Ye so melancholy?" Li You asked involuntarily after seeing the change in Ying Xuan's expression.

He knew about the academy from his father. As long as Li Si talked about the academy, he would definitely look envious, "After ten thousand years, we will surely disappear into nothingness. Future generations will admire it!"

Ying Xuan smiled, and explained casually: "It's really because of the merit of enlightenment, that's why the Marquis is worried!"

Yingxuan explained: "The merits of the Academy lie in the future, and the benefit lies in the country, so I dare not be sloppy in the slightest, for fear of disappointing His Majesty's trust. However, the Academy is the first in the world, and there are many things that need to be discussed. If you are not careful, you will be satisfied." If everything is lost, the great achievements that have been made for thousands of years will become a joke."

"Every time I think of this, I can't sleep at night. Please tell me, how can I not be frowning."

Before Princess Huayang could speak, Ying Xuan seized on Li You's words and took the lead in complaining.

All the people sitting here are smart people, no one is a fool, how can they not understand the meaning of Ying Xuan's move?
Yingxuan just told them in a roundabout way that Yingxuan was already in such a difficult situation, so they shouldn't make it more difficult for Yingxuan, or they might hurt everyone's friendship.

"Li Si is an outstanding person, how could he give birth to such an unbelievable thing?"

Everyone was suffering, and I am afraid that only Li You, the second lord, would believe Yingxuan's nonsense.

Princess Huayang frowned, looked at Li You angrily, and signaled him not to continue talking.

If the academy is really just as Yingxuan said, it’s just the merit of enlightenment, without enough benefits, it’s okay for many aristocratic families to give Yingxuan the opportunity to leave their name through the ages, and it’s okay for them to continue to make a fortune .

But if you stand tall, you can see far away. Everyone here has the shadow of Qin's top aristocratic family behind them. How can they not know what kind of impact the academy has on the aristocratic family? The academy was replaced, completely reduced, far away from the court of the empire.

The academies spread education widely, and over time, there will be no illiterate people in the world.Once the people are enlightened, they will no longer be fools who can be deceived by aristocratic families.

Among them, the outstanding ones will definitely show their sharpness, and once they receive His Majesty's approval, they will definitely be above the blue clouds.However, with the addition of the three ministers and nine princes, plus the county guards and county lieutenants of each county, there are only so many high-ranking officials and rich salary in Qin State, and one more person from a poor family means one less person from aristocratic families.

Under the ebb and flow, the rise of the humble family is the great enemy of the aristocratic family!

The most important thing is that with the rise of the humble family, the aristocratic family is no longer the only reliance of the king, and their status will inevitably plummet.

A poor family is one person, a family of aristocratic family, and the things that the aristocratic family needs to consider are far more important than the poor family, and it is inevitable that there are some places where they disagree with the king.

The academy is definitely a weapon against the aristocratic family, and some of them are even weird. The academy was originally prepared as a fallback to deal with the aristocratic family.

Now that His Majesty the First Emperor intends to let the aristocratic family participate in the affairs of the academy, everyone is naturally moved.

They couldn't change Yingzheng's will, and they didn't dare to speak out against the empire's establishment of the academy, otherwise the aristocratic family would be the enemy of the world, and they would definitely become street rats, and everyone would shout and beat them.

It is simply that His Majesty the First Emperor did not do anything wrong, and gave the family a chance to save themselves.

As long as the aristocratic family can participate in the academy, win over the talents cultivated by the academy, promise benefits, and take it for their own use, the aristocratic family will still have the right to speak in the court.

Even if they fail to win over, the merit of enlightenment is in the person, the master of heaven and earth, the teacher and teacher, the grace of teaching will always be there, even if a poor family produces a great talent, it is closely related to the family. It is better to advance and retreat with the poor family than to be alone and helpless.

Similar to what the aristocratic family had guessed, the academy was originally a countermeasure prepared to deal with the aristocratic family, and the instigator was Ying Xuan.

A few years ago, when Yingxuan went north to Liaodong, he mentioned this matter to Yingzheng, but at that time Yingzheng had just established an empire, and the empire was unstable. Once there was turmoil in the aristocratic family, the situation in Kyushu would definitely be out of control.

Although the timing is still not the best, the luck of the empire has been gathered, and with the surrender of Confucianism, even if the aristocratic family is in turmoil, it will not be able to hurt the empire, so Yingzheng has plans to build an academy.

Yingzheng has a good impression of time. After all, the Qin family does not need other families, and they have made great contributions to the rule of Qin.

But Yingxuan was not so kind to the family. Although he cooperated with the family, they only used each other.

As far as the Great Qin Royal Chamber of Commerce is concerned, the most important purpose of Yingxuan's participation in the aristocratic family has never been to make money in harmony, but to use the financial resources of the aristocratic family to solve the affairs of the people and stabilize the hearts of the empire.

Yingxuan has always hated the nobles of the aristocratic family. In order to control the government, even if he appoints the incompetent disciples of the aristocratic family, he will not reuse the poor ones.

Above the court, he didn't think about benefiting the country and the people, and used the power in his hands to fight for interests. For this reason, he didn't know how much the empire was hindered.

"Master Hou, smart people don't speak dark words, since that's the case, I'll just say it straight."

Li You gave Yingxuan a reason for rejecting them. If they continued to entangle with Yingxuan and gave Yingxuan a chance to continue complaining, they might not have a chance to speak.

Therefore, Princess Huayang is going to put the matter in the clear and compete with Yingxuan. As for the specific result, she can only resign herself to fate.

"Master Hou, the establishment of the academy will definitely be praised through the ages. We have no intention of competing with Master Hou, but we also hope to participate in it. Such a grand event, if we stay out of it, wouldn't we regret it for the rest of our lives?"

Ying Xuan sighed secretly, he really came here for the division of the academy's rights.

Ying Xuan was displeased in his heart, but he was overjoyed on the face, "It's a good thing, everyone has such a heart, and I am very happy."

"The academy's ambition is to spread culture and educate the people, but there are not enough scholars. Ben Hou originally planned to borrow some people who can read and write from the aristocratic family."

Yingxuan raised his wine glass and said to the crowd: "I didn't expect that you and this Marquis have a good heart. Before Ben Marquis opened his mouth to you, you were already in a hurry and solved the problem of not enough teachers for me."

"The Marquis is not very grateful, I would like to offer you a glass. I've done it, you can do whatever you want!" Ying Xuan drank the wine in the glass, and then showed the empty glass to everyone.

With a few words, Yingxuan made everyone in the aristocratic family stern, only said that he needed a teacher, and never mentioned the matter of the high-level personnel of the academy, which made everyone in the aristocratic family anxious.

It is true that the academy needs teachers, but it also needs managers. The purpose of the aristocratic family is the position of these managers.

If one of the important positions can be obtained, it is not a bad idea to provide Yingxuan with clansmen to act as teachers.

But only providing Yingxuan with their clansmen, doing things for Yingxuan, and helping the empire weaken the power of the aristocratic family, they can't sit still in such a cocoon.

Looking at it now, Yingxuan does not intend to give up part of the management rights of the academy at all, which makes the aristocratic family feel a little uncomfortable. Holding the wine in his hand, it is not right to drink it, or not to drink it. For a while, you will look at me and I will look at you. Make eye contact.

"Master Hou, our Ba family is a businessman, and the world is bustling with people, all of whom come and go for profit."

"Businessmen value profits, our Ba family can provide talents for Lord Hou, but what benefits can we get?"

"Things that have no benefits are hard to tempt people, especially this kind of self-defeating, businessmen are the most difficult to accept."

"However, as Lord Hou said, the academy is beneficial for thousands of years. It is all right for us to support the empire by carnivorously. However, the empire has always respected the law and clearly defined rewards and punishments. So how will the empire reward us for our efforts for the empire?"

Wen Renya spoke suddenly, causing Yingxuan to examine him involuntarily.

When the decline was evident, he showed his family's attitude, supported the decision of the empire, and turned to seek benefits for the family on the grounds that the empire's rewards and punishments were clearly defined.Inadvertently turned the struggle for power into a deal between the family and the empire.

"Excellent words!"

Yingxuan sighed in his heart, then fell into a state of contemplation, and finally said: "The matter of the academy cannot be decided by the Marquis alone."

"Is Hou Ye rejecting us?" Everyone asked.

"That's not true," Ying Xuan signaled them to be calm and listen to him finish.

"I can promise you the land of a county, but the ugly words are up front. If things go wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"A land in one county, what does Lord Hou mean by these words?"
