Yipin Tang

Chapter 197

After dealing with the extremely enthusiastic foreign envoys, Wang Xiang seemed to have seen mountains of gold and silver waiting for him.

Don't underestimate these small foreign countries. Although they are not as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty, many places are rich in gold, silver and precious stones. As long as the Wan Guo Academy is successfully established, the money for building Tangquan Palace is nothing.

"Zixin, what's the name of your school of all nations?" Li Chengqian couldn't help asking except Honglu Temple.As soon as these foreign envoys arrived in Chang'an, they talked about the Wanguo Academy. They heard that the Wanguo Academy was Wang Xiang's attention, so Li Chengqian called Wang Xiang over.

Wang Xiang smiled while rubbing his hands: "I didn't expect the Wan Guo Academy to be so popular. It seems that I have to start the Wan Guo Academy as soon as possible. These foreign countries are just stupid people with a lot of money."

Li Chengqian was sweating in his heart. What he heard the most these days was that the prince of Jiayuan Hou had a lot of money... He could say that he was a fool with a lot of money, and Li Chengqian suddenly felt a little sympathetic to those foreign envoys.

"What is this school of all nations?"

Hearing Li Chengqian ask again, Wang Xiang recovered from the fantasy of Jinshanyinshan, wiped the corner of his mouth and explained: "These foreign envoys are all envious of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and want to learn our advanced culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty , I mentioned to His Majesty about the establishment of the Wan Guo Academy, and His Majesty also agreed, and originally planned to do it next year, but I didn’t expect these foreign envoys to expect so much from the Wan Guo Academy, so I had to prepare in advance.”

"Then why do you say they are stupid and have a lot of money?"

"Eh... this... we don't let them learn the things of Tang Dynasty in vain, so if you want to study in Wan Guo Academy, you have to pay tuition."

A strange smile appeared on Li Chengqian's face: "I knew you wouldn't be so kind. You didn't tell Father about the tuition fees, did you?"

Wang Xiang quickly said: "I forgot for a while, and besides, the tuition fees collected were not used to build Tangquan Palace for His Majesty."

Li Chengqian didn't know that Wang Xiang got an extra [-]% of the bank's income from Li Er, and when he heard him talk about the construction of Tangquan Palace, he comforted him: "Father will remember the matter of Zixin's dedication to Tangquan Palace, and the matter of Wanguo Academy." Just figure it out for yourself."

In his opinion, the tuition fee of a school is nothing compared to the construction of Tangquan Palace, and it should be regarded as compensation.

Wang Xiang was secretly happy when he heard the words, he knew very well how much benefit the Wan Guo Academy could bring him. These foreign countries are absolutely extremely generous in order to learn the culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty. …The constant courtesy is the point.

Followed Li Chengqian to Linde Hall to arrange the arrangement of the Great Court Meeting, and after leaving the palace, he hurried to Gewuyuan to find Li Chunfeng, and asked him to handle the consultation point of the Wanguo Academy as soon as possible, and those foreign envoys were waiting to give gifts.

When I arrived at the Gewuyuan, I found out that Li Chunfeng was not there. After asking, I learned that he had gone to a factory that processed woolen clothes.

Two new factories were built in the northwest corner of Chang'an City. One is a factory for processing wool, and the other is a factory for processing the processed wool into woolen clothes. The factory is incomparable, but when the material resources from the Western Regions are continuously transported back to Chang'an in the spring of next year, the scale of the factory will definitely become larger and larger, and it may usher in the industrial era of Datang.

The salary of three pennies a month is very high for ordinary people, but it is actually not much. Dozens of workers add up to only one hundred pennies a month, and one month can process Hundreds of woolen sweaters were produced.

White as snow, warm and supple woolen sweaters are the new favorite of Chang'an dignitaries, and they are luxury goods. A single woolen sweater can sell hundreds of pieces, and the supply is in short supply.

When I found Li Chunfeng, he was inspecting the newly processed woolen sweaters. At this time, the people were simple-minded, and they would work hard when they were paid. Such a good, easy and lucrative job.

Li Chunfeng didn't know anything about Wanguo Academy before, but now he has long been numb to Wang Xiang's whimsical ideas. He understands more and more why Yuan Tiangang let him stay in Gewuyuan, because Wang Zixin can really change the world .

"I think the consultation point is set at the gate of Gewuyuan. When the time comes, I will find a few eloquent people to go to the consultation point to deal with those foreign envoys. In short, I want them to feel that what they have learned in the Wan Guo Academy can make their country more like the Tang Dynasty. They are equally prosperous, and let them know that it is a great opportunity and honor to study in the Wan Guo Academy, and not all foreign countries have the opportunity."

"You don't really plan to teach Fanbang the way to strengthen the country, do you? Gewuxue also taught?" Li Chunfeng was very skeptical, but Wang Xiang always emphasized that Gewuxue should not be disclosed to Fanbang.

Sure enough, after listening to Li Chunfeng's words, Wang Xiang laughed and said: "How is it possible, the way of learning is to be gradual, and their foundation is too poor, so naturally they have to start from the basics."

Looking at Wang Xiang's appearance, Li Chunfeng knew that those foreign envoys were about to be tricked...

Because Wang Xiang told those foreign envoys at Honglu Temple that the inquiry point of the Wan Guo Academy would be set up in two days, so Li Chunfeng immediately went back to prepare, while Wang Xiang went to the Linglong Bookstore alone, and asked people to search for it a few days ago. Xin Yi handed over the Buddhist scriptures and asked her to increase the printing volume of Buddhist scriptures.

When I came out of Linglong Bookstore, I saw Matsudaira Ichiro waiting outside with a flattering smile on his face.

Knowing his reason for coming, Wang Xiang spread his hands and said, "I don't know how things about the Wan Guo Academy spread."

Ichiro Matsudaira waved his hands again and again, "No, no, I didn't come here for this matter."

Although he also had some doubts in his heart, when he was in Honglu Temple, Wang Xiang vaguely mentioned that the first batch of enrollment places in Wan Guo Academy were not many, that is to say, not all foreign countries can send people to study in Wan Guo Academy, and there are already many foreign countries. The messenger was thinking about how to please the Marquis of Jiayuan, how dare Matsudaira Ichiro offend Wang Xiang at this time.

"Oh? It's not for this matter?" Wang Xiang was a little surprised.

Ichiro Matsudaira hurriedly said: "That's right, last time I was fortunate enough to listen to the teachings of the adults at the Gewuyuan, which benefited me a lot, so I specially prepared a gift for the adults to express my gratitude."

Seeing Wang Xiang's expressionless face, Ichiro Matsudaira leaned over his head and asked in a low voice, "Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you last time?"

Wang Xiang coughed dryly and hesitated noncommittally. He was too busy these days to see Maya Kawamura. He couldn't help but think of that seductive little fairy after being mentioned by Ichiro Matsudaira.

Seeing Wang Xiang's performance, Ichiro Matsudaira knew it in his heart. The corner of his mouth twitched and he said in a low voice, "I guarantee that adults will like this gift even more."

After speaking, he waved to the back, and immediately a Fusang man drove over in a carriage.
