"Brother Prince, don't hide it and choke if you have something, okay?"

Seeing Li Chengqian running towards him every few days, Li Fangchen would never have thought that he had something to look for him.

"Oh, since you have seen it all by your second brother, I won't hide it from you. There is something wrong."

Li Tai ordered people to prepare tea and talk about the matter. He didn't dare to interrupt, and at the same time he was thinking about what they were going to talk about.

"Second brother, I, Kong Yingda, Wang Ji and others, had a difficult problem before, and I had no countermeasures to get along with me..."

Li Fangchen subconsciously picked up the tea and took a sip, and at the same time began to think about some experiences in establishing schools in later generations.

“That’s how it is…”

The world promotes education, and 80% of the aristocratic families in the world have contributed funds, and the court spends millions of yuan every year.

In just seven years, thousands of schools have been built.

It was originally a college founded for poor children, but later, due to poor supervision, there was a riot.

Fortunately, Li Fangchen and others noticed it in time, checked for omissions and made corrections in time, which allowed the school to step on the right path again.

But how could things go smoothly?

Li Chengqian was determined to do this and could not sleep for a few days. In order to present the scene of Li Fangchen's theory of the world and the popularity of literature in the Tang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, things went against my wishes. Even Li Chengqian was confused about the chaos now.

Before, it was because officials were greedy for money and the school turned into something that others made money.

Now another big thing has happened. The number of schools that should have been built this year is missing sixteen.

After a detailed investigation, Li Chengqian ordered people to find out that no one was greedy for the money he spent on Mo Jianxue, but because the money spent in the school has doubled compared to previous years!

When others invest in each school, the money spent is fixed.

Li Fangchen moved out of Hope Primary School in the future in advance, which made him feel like this now.

When you spend money to build a school, the school will be named after the investor's name, and the investor's wealth and background will be engraved in front of the door.

Such behavior has really made many aristocratic families pay a lot and contribute to the establishment of the school.

Not to mention anything else, there are three additional schools in Chang'an City this year, which were funded by the Cui family in Qinghe, Wang family in Taiyuan, and Zhang Liang, Duke Xunguo.

All the investors will be recorded in a book and will be kept by Li Chengqian and Kong Yingda.

The trouble arises, because the materials price increases and the cost of building schools increases, resulting in the lack of sixteen schools that should have been built this year.

Li Chengqian still has the fees for seventeen schools, but it would be good if he could build nine schools in the end, which means there will be loopholes of eight schools.

what to do?

The school with clear price tags is not enough now, so how can it be better to go to someone who pays money to others?

If you really want money, then do you want the titles of the prince and the Kong family?

How much does it cost to build a school?

At the beginning, Li Chengqian wanted to ask the Ministry of Revenue to make up for the remaining money, but the amount was too large, and at least tens of thousands of yuan was needed.

I also thought about paying for it from the East Palace, but how many can the East Palace be?

Now that the fees owed by six schools are still missing, it is even more troublesome.

The reason why I came to Li Fangchen was to ask for advice and decide a way to solve it once and for all.

If the cost of tuition construction increases in the future, what should they do if they receive the donations from others in advance?

Could it be that if you don’t have enough, can you return it to others?

As for asking the King of Qin to pay for it, Li Chengqian never thought about it.

If it really doesn't work, I will give you a memorandum to ask the Ministry of Revenue for money!

After hearing this, Li Fangchen's head buzzed, and Li Chengqian's words were a little vague. It took him a long time to figure out what was wrong with this.

"Prince Prince, to be honest, I think it's time to stop donating school."

Li Chengqian was shocked and said, "Second brother, can't you do anything?"

Li Fangchen shook his head and said, "It's not the case. At first, this plan was made because the court did not have much tax revenue every year and the matter of promoting education cannot be delayed. Now the Tang Dynasty is developing very well, and the cost of building a church every year is not heavy. It's better to stop the matter of donating money to build a school by the court."

Li Chengqian hesitated and said, "Second brother, is it possible that you plan to get the Ministry of Revenue to contribute all the funds in the future?"

Li Fangchen nodded, "It should have been like this. This is the place of Chinese studies. If it is all built by others with money, what kind of system will it become?"

"But what if there is still someone paying for it in the future?"

"Cache! But according to the previous standards, people cannot be sent to calculate the cost of building schools every year. How much does each school donate? Wherever they build, they must be selected in advance, and the validity period is one year."

"I don't understand..."

"It's just to arrange a few people to build a school. The money should be spent. It's better to start the year. Then it's time to establish how much it will cost to build a school this year, and it will be like this within a year."

"What if this happens?"

"The Ministry of Revenue subsidies, but you'd better explain this to your father clearly, otherwise it would be a big trouble!"

"Let me think about it."

"Brother Prince, you can't stop studying. For the sake of the people of the world, the more you need to learn, the better!"

"But it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. With others donating money to build schools, how can the Ministry of Revenue be willing to pay the money on its own?"

"It must be paid. The money from the Ministry of Revenue is taken from the people. What's wrong with it now? Besides, you won't go to find your father?"

Li Chengqian was in a dizzy mind and had too much information.

Judging from my second brother’s meaning, I can almost stop doing the donation of money to build a school before.

After all, it is a place of Chinese studies. People cannot only think about the goodness of others and ignore the reputation of the Tang Dynasty?

Think about those aristocratic families, they now have a deep prestige among the people.

Many people, Li Shimin, dared not move lightly.

A school was built, but it only cost thousands of people. The court had a civil and military service. Even Wei Zheng, who was in a down-and-out family, donated two.

In their words, blessings and descendants, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, and spending these money will make you happy.

Especially all the great scholars, they donated nearly half of their wealth.

For a time, the Tang Dynasty was to compare with each family to see who donated more schools.

Li Chengqian even set up a memorial monument with the names of ten people who donated the most, and they changed them every year.

Li Shimin was not stingy either, and praised him and invited him to drink. He even held a banquet in the palace, which fully satisfied those people's vanity.

No one is stupid. Donating money to study will not only get praise from the people, but also make Li Shimin pay attention to it. No matter how you look at it, you won’t lose money.

When they get old, they can still point to the distance in front of their children and grandchildren, shouting: "I donated ten schools to build that year!"

There is a saying that nothing can be done with money!

Two years ago, there was a fourth-rank official who was promoted to a third-rank official by Li Shimin because he donated sixteen schools in succession.

Spend money to buy an official? No! We are for the people of the Tang Dynasty!

A few days later, Li Chengqian ran to Li Fangchen again, "Second brother!"

"What's wrong?"

Li Chengqian hurriedly drank a large cup of tea, "There is one more thing I forgot to ask you yesterday."

"Don't hurry, sit down first!"

"Second brother, is there a girl around your Princess Qin?"

Girl? Around Princess Qin?

Li Fangchen's face changed, "What did you ask her?"

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said, "A few days ago, Princess Qin entered the palace to pay her respects to her mother and took her with her. Zhinu fell in love with her and asked me to ask if she could bring him back to the palace to be a maid."

Li Fangchen suddenly stood up, "How could Xuan'er bring that girl into the palace?"
