The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 724
"Dongshan Hou Ye has anything to say." Master He looked at Xuan Shijing with an expression of 'I see you are very dissatisfied', and then turned his gaze away to look at the top of the Xiangxiang Hall.

Look at people with their nostrils, and sure enough, there is a lackey who looks like a master.

"Today is the engineering college. In the near future, I will not only build engineering colleges, business colleges, military colleges, and even astronomy, geography, mountains, rivers, etc., there will be corresponding colleges. I really want to see, Mr. He, can you really stop this Marquis?" Xuan Shijing said to Mr. He seriously with a serious expression on his face.

As soon as Xuan Shijing said this, the court was in an uproar.

For a long time, the hall was completely silent.

What does Marquis Dongshan want to do?What about establishing a sect, building such a huge academy, not to mention whether it can be done, even if it can be done, will His Majesty allow Dongshan Hou to do this?

"You!" Mr. He was speechless at Xuan Shijing's words, the money is his own, the land is bought by him, he doesn't care about his reputation, how can he stop it?Is it possible to rely on His Majesty?There was no reply to yesterday's memorial. Could it be possible that His Majesty also supported Dongshan Hou in doing so?

Thinking of this, Lord He looked at His Majesty Li Er as if asking for help.

"Jing'er, don't make nonsense." His Majesty Li Er hurriedly made a big deal. Xuan Shijing had already thoroughly analyzed the good and bad with His Majesty Li Er earlier about the engineering college, so His Majesty Li Er supported him in secret, but Xuan Shijing Now that Shijing said such a thing in public, if the courtiers couldn't accept it, how would this morning court end.

When Xuan Shijing heard His Majesty Li Er's words, he just turned around and cupped his hands towards His Majesty Li Er.

Seeing Xuan Shijing's attitude, His Majesty Li Er's heart suddenly jumped. Could it be that this child is serious?

If others doubt whether Xuan Shijing can successfully build so many colleges, His Majesty Li Er believes it. Today's prosperous Tang Chamber of Commerce is already half an imperial merchant, and His Majesty Li Er knows that the Chamber of Commerce makes money. Shi Jing really let Qiandui go to collect money. This number is absolutely huge, so huge that it is unimaginable.

"Xuanhou is still cautious." Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji also persuaded Xuan Shijing: "Xuanhou, it is easy to build some houses. A college is not as simple as Xuanhou imagined. Even if the college is built , What about the students? What about the sirs? These are all problems, if there are no students, no gentlemen, even if Xuanhou’s engineering college is majestic and magnificent, so what?”

"What advice does Master Changsun have?" Xuan Shijing didn't expect Changsun Wuji to make a sound, so out of politeness, Xuan Shijing asked kindly.

"My subordinates feel that Xuanhou's engineering college recruits some craftsmen, and it will be given to craftsmen to develop in the future. It is better to take advantage of the convenience of the court to make the engineering college more legitimate." Changsun Wuji said.

"Oh? Forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what the elder grandson means?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Our imperial court also has the Ministry of Industry, which is also in charge of these things. It is better to put the Institute of Engineering under the name of the Ministry of Industry. With the backing of the imperial court, in the future, the name of the Institute of Engineering will be known, and there will always be people coming here. "Changsun Wuji said with slightly closed eyes.

Heh, this engineering college has not been built yet, and I want to start handing it over to the country. Changsun Wuji is an old fox. The name of the Ministry of Industry is easy to use, but such an engineering college will still be Xuan Shijing Want Engineering College?

Affiliated under the name of the Ministry of Industry, there is a bureaucratic style in the college, and by the way, it is really a good idea to give political achievements to the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

Xuan Shijing is sure that once the Engineering College is under the name of the Ministry of Industry, within three months, the Engineering College will be abandoned, and in the end, it is Xuan Shijing's fault, who made it Xuan Shijing in the first place What was proposed?

"What Master Changsun said is very true, I will reconsider." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry saw such a good thing, and also stood up to agree. Anyway, it was Changsun Wuji who proposed it, and he was the one who got the honor.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Industry stood up, some servants of the Ministry of Industry also stood up.

"The minister waits for reconsideration."

Xuan Shijing was taken aback for a moment, these people are really big snakes with sticks.

Looking at His Majesty Li Er, His Majesty Li Er was also thinking about the possibility that Changsun Wuji said. After all, his brother-in-law had not deceived himself, and what Changsun Wuji said was also good. Xuan Shijing built the engineering college by himself. What's the use?Could it be that relying on the name of the Marquis of Dongshan can prop up an academy?
Seeing His Majesty Li Er's expression, Xuan Shijing lowered his head, gave a wry smile, and stopped talking.

"Jing'er, look." His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing.

"Your Majesty also thinks that the elder grandson's words make sense?" Xuan Shijing asked His Majesty Li Er's gaze.

All of a sudden, the eyes of the two monarchs and ministers met like this. His Majesty Li Er's eyes were full of helplessness and complexity, while Xuan Shijing's eyes were as clear as ever, like a lake of crystal clear water.

His Majesty Li Er nodded.

Up to now, the matter has come to the court, and so many ministers have taken a fancy to the Engineering College. Although they don't know what their purpose is, Xuan Shijing's chance of keeping the Engineering College intact is very slim.

"Well, since your Majesty has said so." Xuan Shijing said, and took out a stack of papers from his arms, which were some things he had prepared yesterday. For these things, Xuan Shijing specially ran to Xuanwu Lou asked Qiandui to do the accounting: "Although everyone is an official in the same dynasty, after all, brothers still have to settle accounts clearly. After I go back today, I will stop the craftsmen and masons in Daozhengfang, and by the way, the engineering college has been built. Since the Ministry of Industry is going to take over, there is absolutely no reason for my Dongshan Hou Mansion to intervene again."

As he said that, Xuan Shijing unfolded some of the documents in his hand, and chanted loudly in the Taiji Hall: "In the 15th year of Zhenguan, the land price of Chang'an City, with reference to the land price of Changlefang next to Daozhengfang, calculated the land price of the entire Engineering College, and The foundation that has been dug before probably, the adults of Chenghui Ministry of Industry, who will pay for this money?" Xuan Shijing raised the receipt in his hand: "Here is the land deed of the engineering college, and the people in my house will calculate it. If the adults of the Ministry of Industry have no objections to the total price and various details, we can hand it over on the spot in this Tai Chi Hall, you give the money, and I give the land."

Throughout the ages, Xuan Shijing can be counted among those who can do business in the Taiji Hall. He negotiated business with ministers of the Ministry of Industry in front of the emperor.

On the paper in Xuan Shijing's hand were many prices clearly written, as well as the total price at the bottom, clearly and plainly, but after reading the figures, the people in the Ministry of Industry all took a breath of air.
