Datang: I am the founding general in the beginning

Li Shimin also felt that how could this Zhao Ziyun become more and more outrageous the more he talked about it?

What is the concept of a thousand schools? How much money does it cost?

This is not just talk.

When some people heard Zhao Ziyun's words, they all felt that they were too untrue.

They even felt that they might not be able to get the 1,000 taels.

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty must have appreciated your kindness very much, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were also moved by the kindness of the Lord Wang, but what the Lord said made me and other ministers unable to believe it. "

Doubts were raised.

"Lord Wang, I don't know if Lord Wang knows how much money it costs to build a school?" At this time, a staff member of the Ministry of Engineering stood up to explain to him.

Zhao Ziyun said proudly: "This king doesn't know, you can tell this king."

At this time, all the courtiers shook their heads, feeling that Zhao Ziyun had really planted this time.

I used to think that Zhao Ziyun was the god of the Tang Dynasty and would not go wrong, but I didn't expect to boast so much in front of His Majesty and the courtiers this time.

Isn't this digging a grave for yourself?

Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stood up at this time and said: "Lord Wang, if you want to build a school, you need at least 50,000 taels, not to mention the income of the personnel, at least the various materials you need add up, and these all need 20,000 or 30,000 taels.

"Even if the minister is a more conservative estimate, it will cost 40,000 taels. "

If you say 1,000, then 40 million taels, what a huge number?"

"The imperial court has always wanted to do this, but thinking of such a huge expenditure, His Majesty has not moved.

Duan Lun reported these situations one by one at this time.

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked, Zhao Ziyun was really shocked by this number.

He originally thought he was very rich, but compared to these thousand schools, it was really a drop in the bucket.

"Lord Duan, this king knows that you are the son-in-law of the Emperor Taishang, and you have also worked in the Ministry of Works for a while.

"But how do you know if you don't do it? You may be talking to the king about your experience.

"But what this king wants to tell you is that if this king wants to build a school, the cost will not exceed five thousand taels at most, and a thousand schools will be five million taels. Everyone

looked at Zhao Ziyun like fools.

"Lord Wang, you are really a bit fantastical.

"Let's not talk about whether you can build a school for five thousand taels, the money spent on your thousand schools alone is a huge expense.

"With such a huge number, hasn't the prince considered it?" Duan Lun asked again at this time.

Everyone also looked at Zhao Ziyun in surprise.

Hmph, look at you, this time it's really down, see how you clean up the situation.

When Li Shimin heard the figure of five million taels, he couldn't believe it.

He just wanted to see the excitement at this time.

"Ziyun, are you crazy? How dare you boast about Haikou like this?" Li Shimin also said with some reprimand.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not crazy, since the minister dares to say so, he is naturally sure.

"Your Majesty and the ministers may not know that the minister's previous business earned a considerable amount of income.

"Otherwise, how could he be pretending in front of all the ministers and His Majesty?"

Zhao Ziyun was very strong at this time.

"The minister said that there are a thousand schools, which is not an exaggeration at all, even if it is a thousand, the cost is five million, and the minister can afford it.

Hearing Zhao Ziyun say this, not only Li Shimin gasped, but the others were even more surprised and shocked.

Zhao Ziyun was able to come up with five million taels?

This incident shocked everyone even more, what kind of day is this today? Why is it more unbelievable than one thing.

"The minister knows that His Majesty and the ministers must have a lot of questions, so you might as well let the ministers solve the doubts for you carefully.

Zhao Ziyun looked smug at this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister's business earned five million and eight hundred thousand taels, so the minister dared to say this.

"If this is not the case, how dare the ministers give each of you a thousand taels for each of you who answer the question correctly?"

"This king may tell you that even one of our stewards in the house will take more than you."

"He alone can get a reward of 30,000 taels. "

Let me ask, in this case, is this king lying?"

Zhao Ziyun's previous words were said to Li Shimin, and the latter words were said by looking at the ministers.

But every word he said was like thunder, which made everyone a little blown up.

Shocked, shocked.

Dumbfounded, incredibly dumbfounded.

Blindfolded, incomparably blindfolded.

......

The business made 5.8 million yuan? I

had never heard of anyone doing this before.

Thirty thousand taels of housekeepers?

Is there any reason for this?

This is the rhythm of forcing the ministers to death.

If a housekeeper gets so much, then what are these ministers of the court?

Their annual income is not as high as a month's income.

Isn't this a great irony?

At this time, Li Shimin's face was a little embarrassed.

His own courtiers are not as much as the housekeepers of the prince's mansion?

Where does this make the face of the Son of Heaven go?

Zhao Ziyun naturally saw the expressions of all the ministers, and they were extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty, what the minister said before is naturally to be fulfilled, and now it is here to fulfill the promise.

"These thousand schools are the gifts prepared by the ministers for His Majesty.

"I believe that the establishment of this school will further attract talents for Datang, so the value of this thousand schools is far from being measured by other products."

Li Shimin listened to Zhao Ziyun's words, and a picture unfolded in his mind for a while.

Every year, the students who come out of these thousands of schools are adding talents to Datang, so isn't his talent endless, endless, and I am excited to think about this scene.

In this way, he doesn't have to worry about Datang's talent gap.

At this time, Zhao Ziyun also noticed Li Shimin's expression.

"Your Majesty, even if what the prince said is true, it is extremely difficult to implement this matter. "

Some officials began to raise objections.

These words were originally put forward by the eldest grandson Wuji, or Fang, Du and others, but they all knew about Zhao Ziyun's situation, but now they don't dare to raise these questions easily.

Because many times before, the questions raised by others were solved by Zhao Ziyun, and the end was not very good.

They are smart people, and it is enough to be a crowd of onlookers at this time and see what others have to say.

"Aiqing, if there is anything wrong, you might as well bring it up in front of everyone.

Li Shimin was already excited by Zhao Ziyun's grand blueprint.

"Your Majesty, the difficulty lies in three points at this time, one is that even if what the prince said can be realized, how can the problem of the master be solved?"

"Second, even if the problem of the master is solved, how can the problem of our students be solved? Compared with the previous dynasty, the population of our dynasty has decreased sharply, and the people are mainly cultivated land, and if they are taken out to study, it will inevitably affect farming, and the problem of grain production in the imperial court is the biggest problem. "

Third, there is the issue of subjects, if you want to select talents for the imperial court, you have to start from the subjects, the problem is how can we have so many books? Most of these books are controlled by clans, so they have the most talents.

"Can we solve these three problems? With our current situation, it is really difficult to carry out it.

Li Shimin also woke up from a sweet dream after hearing this.
