Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2608 Wei Wang Wronged
Wei Wang Li Tai is now obsessed with developing the culture and education of the Tang Dynasty. Under his leadership, the "Datang Culture Promotion Association" has flourished and grown stronger day by day. Hundreds of county schools and town schools have been established in various states and counties across the country And this number is still expanding, making Li Tai a benchmark figure in the field of education in the Tang Dynasty, praised by all people.

Education has been the most costly business since ancient times. Even though he is a prince and has money and food from the imperial court and the emperor's internal funds, the ambitious Wei Wang Li Tai still feels that he is stretched. His strategy of "stride forward" is limited by funds , the speed of progress is far slower than I expected, and looking for money has become a daily routine for the Prince of the Tang Dynasty. I don’t know how many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries have seen King Wei’s figure and fled far away, not daring to meet him...

In this way, Li Tai's top priority was the promise to donate many industries in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, after making an appointment to go south together, Li Tai waited left and right, but Fang Jun didn't move at all. Winter was about to begin, and the mountains were covered with snow and ice blocked the rivers. Li Tai couldn't wait any longer and went directly Come to kill.

Fang Jun had no choice but to sit next to Li Tai, and explained: "The most important thing is that there are more things, and His Highness knows about it, and it's not because I don't want to accompany His Highness to Jiangnan. The situation is tense right now, and many people are staring at him. What about Weichen, if Weichen leaves Beijing to go with you, I'm afraid it will implicate you."

When Li Tai heard this, his displeasure disappeared immediately.

He almost forgot that Fang Jun has almost become a thorn in the eyes of the nobles of Guanlong, and he needs to get rid of it quickly. There are so many dead warriors and assassins hiding in the dark all day long, just looking for an opportunity to take advantage of. Launching the method of thunder and lightning, Fang Jun was killed with a powerful blow.

If I go down to the south of the Yangtze River with him, I am afraid that I will also become the target of those lawless Guanlong nobles. If there is an unsightly hand shaking, and the crossbow arrow misses by an inch and a half... Who can I ask for reasoning?

After pondering for a while, Li Tai frowned and said, "Then you won't go to Jiangnan with me?"

Fang Jun spread his hands, and said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to go with His Highness, but you have seen the situation, we can't go to the south of the Yangtze River with a group of powerful soldiers, right? It's tantamount to treason, His Majesty will cut off the head of this humble official!"

Going to the south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles away, boats and horses were changed along the way, and people ate horses, chewed and lived in shops, and it was difficult to protect them all by relying on their own soldiers, and did not give the thieves an opportunity, even with Wei Wang Li Tai Neither can the guards.

He does have the right to deploy troops, no matter the right guard or the navy, he only needs a brigade of strong soldiers to be as solid as a rock, but he can privately dispatch troops from Chang'an to Jiangnan, which is simply challenging His Majesty Li Er's courage. An emperor would never allow his courtiers to make such a conspiracy.

But without a large army of guards, Fang Jun was really afraid that he would be succeeded by the dead warrior assassins of the Guanlong nobles...

Li Tai thought for a while, then asked: "If this king asks the emperor for a will, allowing you to lead the troops south, can it be done immediately?"

Now he has given up the idea of ​​fighting for the heir, but he is unwilling to be a rich and idle king who eats and waits to die, so he devotes all his energy to revitalizing the education of Datang.The affirmation from the government and the public, especially the praise from the people, made him mesmerized and felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. He spent all day sleeping and forgetting to eat and work hard, just to make this career flawless.

As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally called for Bainuo, and countless literati ran around under his call, setting up county schools one by one in remote areas, allowing tens of thousands of children to enlighten and teach, and countless Thousands of students get a better education.

However, just as this business was in full swing, the lack of money and food restricted its development, so he was so impatient to go to the south of the Yangtze River with Fang Jun to take over the properties of those powerful families.

Fang Jun couldn't help asking: "There's nothing wrong with that. Right now, I've been suspended from my position as Secretary of the Ministry of War. Although there are a lot of miscellaneous things in this academy, Xu Jingzong and Chu Suiliang are enough to handle it, and there are also big bosses. Sitting in town, nothing will go wrong. But I am a little puzzled. Now that His Majesty is obsessed with education, the funds spent on this academy are allocated from His Majesty's internal funds, and His Majesty's internal funds are full of gold and silver. Why don't His Highness go and appeal to His Majesty? Complaining, begging His Majesty to allocate some money?"

Since ancient times, the way of being an official has been inseparable from money and food.

Whether they are greedy and ambitious, or ambitious and ambitious, they all need money and food to maintain their ideals.Corrupt officials need money and food to put into their pockets, and honest officials need money and food to revitalize their development, so even if you are a prince, it is extremely difficult to extract money from officials at the first level.

I gave you all the money, what about their political achievements?
You are a prince, if you call out to everyone to give you face, you will never hesitate to run errands, but if you want to take money out of everyone's pockets and empty out the yamen, that is cutting off people's careers and hindering people from making progress, no one will promise.

These Fangjun all understand, but His Majesty Li Er's internal funds are full of gold and silver. Every month, countless money is shipped back from the gold and silver mines of Japan by sea. His Majesty Li Er has recently begun to follow the framework he gave to future generations of banks. Cooperate with the Ministry of Civil Affairs to issue additional silver coins, gold coins, and bank notes to improve the current situation that Datang lacks money and restricts business development. Why doesn't Li Tai borrow some from his father?
Education is the foundation of the country. His Majesty Li Er, who runs the "Datang Culture Promotion Association" Li Tai, also agrees with it very much, so he probably won't sit idly by.

Hearing this, Li Tai sighed, and said: "No matter how rich my father is, it still belongs to my father. I have been sheltered under my father's wings since I was a child. The wind can't blow and the rain can't blow, just like your greenhouse." Like the flowers and trees cultivated in the middle school, they are immature and fragile, and they cannot withstand the slightest storm. Now that I have finally found a career that I like and can fight for my whole life, how can I ask my father in front of the emperor with few setbacks?"

Fang Jun didn't think so, and said: "Isn't this going too far? It is true that your highness has great ambitions, which is a blessing to the cause of education, but I don't think it is necessary to give all the credit to your majesty in this way. I know very well In the past two years, His Royal Highness has devoted himself to education, and he has devoted himself to opening county schools to every remote prefecture and county in the Tang Dynasty, so that even the poor children in the ravines can have books to read. , That is also a illustrious feat, and it is not inferior to opening up the frontier, expanding the land and supporting the sky, so we must not belittle ourselves."

Li Tai said depressedly: "It would be great if more people in the world would affirm this king like you do."

have to!Fang Jun figured it out, now that Li Tai's education career is in full swing, and his reputation among the people is growing wildly like weeds in spring, which arouses the jealousy of some people, thinking that the reason why he can achieve his current achievements is because of Thanks to his status, His Majesty Li Er even paved the way for him in secret, giving all the credit to him, Li Tai.

Ever since, His Royal Highness King Wei's sensitive and proud heart was hit. Fortunately, I worked hard so that Han Jiaerlang could have books to read, but you think I am just lying on the credit book?

If he reaches out to ask His Majesty Li Er for money again, the rumor of relying on Lao Tzu will be confirmed...

Fang Jun thought it was a bit funny, but he could also understand that the thoughts of rich second generations were basically the same throughout the ages. With a little achievement, people immediately said that "you are nothing without me"...

It does hurt.

Seeing Li Tai's expression of aggrieved Bala, Fang Jun couldn't help laughing out loud, nodded and said: "Okay, if you can ask His Majesty's will to allow my minister to lead troops out of Beijing, then my minister will immediately Accompany you for a while, and strive to come back before Rudong. However, it has been agreed in advance that if His Majesty refuses to allow, then I will definitely not take the risk of losing my life to go to the south of the Yangtze River with you."

Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Then it's settled! How can this king have the heart to put you in danger? My sister Gaoyang lost her mother since she was young, and she is already lonely. She must not be allowed to become a widow again. If you enter the palace, you will definitely obtain the imperial father's will, so you are ready to go south!"

After saying that, he got up and entered the palace, unwilling to wait for a moment.

Fang Jun quickly pulled him back, and said: "Don't worry, at this moment, even if His Highness enters the palace at this moment, His Majesty may not see you."

At this moment, the crown prince has already entered the palace, and he is discussing with His Majesty Li Er to cancel the ban on King Jin's encirclement. How can he care about Li Tai?
