Chapter 650: Winter Is Coming

Looking at the money in front of him, Qin Shihuang was still a little confused.

Even Zhao Lang had told him that the great aristocrats and landowners of Da Qin were very rich.

He never thought that the money he got in just one day would be enough for the school's expenses for the next six months.

And it’s also because of the high initial cost.

Any money received in the future can be used to support other places.

You must know that there were not many places for Da Qin to make money before.

The fact that the ministers and nobles have money has nothing to do with Da Qin, and the emperor cannot directly take money from these people.

After all, these are our own people.

Zhao Gao also said with a bit of shock at this time,

"Your Majesty, there are ministers and nobles outside the palace asking to see you. Look..."

Qin Shihuang looked at the sky at this time, waved his hand and said,

"That's all, that's it for today."

"Hey, Lang'er's method is good, but he is too greedy for money."

Anyone who listens to the crying all afternoon will feel a little tired.

The key is that it's really hard for him to agree directly every time, otherwise it will appear that he is too unreserved.

Of course, I still feel a little uncomfortable when I think about having to face more people in the future.

After all, he is the emperor of Qin, how can he do the work of a businessman?

If it weren't for Lang'er's plan, he wouldn't have lowered his worth.

He knew that Zhao Lang opened this academy not just to make money, but also for the next generation of these ministers and nobles!

This examination and talent selection plan needs to be sustainable for a long time.

Listening to Qin Shihuang's complaints, Zhao Gao just smiled and said,

"It's better to let the ministers wait. After all, everything is rare."

"Old slave, let them leave now."

After saying that, Zhao Gao was about to retreat.

When Qin Shihuang heard this, his eyes lit up and he said,

"Wait a minute, you can spread the news later. In this first semester, Daqin Royal Academy will only admit fifty nobles."

"More than thirty people have been recruited now!"

Zhao Gao was startled when he heard this, and then looked at Qin Shi Huang with some disbelief.

Is this the one who just said that his son is greedy for money?

This method is just as good as Zhao Lang's!

He could imagine how the nobles outside would fight for the remaining dozen spots if word of this spread!

"What are you still doing? Why don't you go and give orders?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Gao left quickly.

Qin Shihuang then went back to rest with a smile on his face.

Soon, the news spread, and the most direct consequence was that the number of ministers outside the palace asking to see him increased several times the next day!

But this time, most of them were driven away by Qin Shihuang. Some of them couldn't stop them, so they took the money.

These are all those who are qualified to see him, and some small nobles can only watch helplessly, and they don’t have this channel to send money!

Zhao Lang naturally got the news. Hearing that his father directly named fifty people, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Dad is still cruel."

To put it bluntly, he didn't teach his father this wicked way.

He knew that after this time, the reputation of the Royal Academy was completely destroyed.

As for the other nobles, this money definitely cannot escape.

There are only fifty people in the first phase, and we can expand the number in the second phase.

At the end, no one can escape!

Zhao Lang didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt in his heart about harvesting these ministers and nobles.

The nobles of Great Qin, or the nobles of the world! None of them are clean!

In any case, the final amount of money received exceeded Qin Shihuang's greatest imagination.

With money, things will naturally be much easier to handle.

So on this day that the people of Xianyang thought was extremely ordinary, the Da Qin Royal Academy was established in a manor donated by a noble.

Originally, according to Zhao Lang's idea, the school was to be rebuilt.

But I don’t have time to do this now, I can only wait until later.

Fortunately, there are now less than 200 students and teachers combined, so it is completely sufficient.

Of course, the atmosphere was still very lively.

The First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty came to the scene in person, which made all the nobles who came in feel that the money was well spent!

Although the other party left quickly, his face seemed to be a little red.

But His Highness the Crown Prince of Qin personally came to preside over this entrance ceremony.

After that, the core figures of various schools of thought, who would never even see each other face to face, appeared in the academy as teachers.

It made all the nobles present blush with excitement!

Of course, not everyone is happy.

After the ceremony was completed, Zhao Lang was surrounded by several elderly people in a corner.

"Hey, aren't the teachers going to prepare lessons?"

Zhao Lang said with a smile.

At this time, Kong Jia blew his beard and stared, pointing at a fat student not far away and said,

"Is this the future of Da Qin Chaotang you are talking about!? This child is not as good as a child who has been enrolled in Heming Academy for one year!"

Other teachers also stared angrily!

They are not afraid of Zhao Lang!

The reason why they came here was because Zhao Lang said it before.

The Royal Academy of Da Qin is to train the next generation of powerful people in Da Qin, if they can be included in their own school.

Then those who will govern the Qin Dynasty in the future will be the schools of thought!

That’s why they rushed up eagerly and even paid for it!

But who knew, as soon as I entered here, I saw all kinds of students.

The talents of some students are not as good as those of the current Heming Academy!

How could they possibly tolerate this?

He immediately surrounded Zhao Lang and prepared to have a good calculation with the opponent.

But when faced with the question, Zhao Lang did not panic at all, but said,

"Teachers and students, I was right. This child's father is a high-ranking official in the Taiwei Mansion. According to the rules, even if he cannot reach a high position in the future, he will definitely enter the Taiwei Mansion. This is a rule!"

"Besides, this yard was donated by his father."

"As for the students of Heming Academy, no matter how outstanding they are, unless I use the power of the crown prince, they can only start from the lowest level of officials."

"Then slowly climb up!"

"This is also a rule!"

"So instead of scolding students, teachers should think about how to teach them."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but fell silent.

Even Wang Jian, who had never flinched when facing Qin Shihuang, remained silent.

He was an official of the Qin Dynasty, so he naturally knew that what Zhao Lang was telling was the truth, and that he didn't mean it to sound nice.

If he and Wang Ben hadn't been here, would Wang Li have been able to reach his current position just by relying on his talents?

But can he object?

Seeing that several teachers were silent, Zhao Lang said at this time,

"Teachers don't have to be discouraged. This is just the first batch. There will definitely be expansion in the future."

"And didn't we promise that the teachers would have a lot of students before?"

"It costs money to build schools in other counties, right? That's where the money comes from."

After a while of comfort, Zhao Lang comforted several teachers.

"Okay! I will trust you again! If Heming Academy in each county is not built next year, I will come and skin you!"

The few old men left with harsh words, then forced out smiles and went to deal with various nobles.

Zhao Lang kept his mouth shut. If the teacher scolds him, just scold him. He can still reply.

Just as he was about to leave, a sudden gust of autumn wind blew by. Zhao Lang shrank his neck, looked at the autumn leaves falling all over the yard, and suddenly realized,

"Winter is coming."
