…The relevant funds will be sent to the pile sealing warehouse one after another in the next month!”

Zhao Xu listened and nodded with a smile.

The officials and ministers on the left and right swallowed their saliva.

Two hundred and twenty-five houses, all sold out?

A set of 30,000 guan, which is a huge income of 6.75 million guan!

It’s almost as much as Da Song’s salt class income last year.

Although there are salt courses every year, the Bianjing Academy in Jing'anfang seems to be a one-time deal.

But it’s still so shocking.

Lu Dafang, who was relatively sensitive to the economy, began to worry after the shock: "Your Majesty... all of a sudden, these many copper coins, gold, silver, and silk cloth were transferred from the hands of ordinary people into the pile sealing warehouse..."

"I am worried that the world's money shortage will intensify, causing prices to skyrocket!"

"I hope your Majesty will understand clearly!"

What he is really worried about is that the wealthy households in Bianjing will drain the liquidity from the market, causing the price of money in Bianjing to skyrocket!

After all, Bianjing is the richest city in the world.

In this city, the number of copper coins circulating every day is in the tens of millions.

Nearly 7 million yuan of liquidity could be drained away in one fell swoop.

It's really scary for the market.

Zhao Xu nodded and said to Lu Dafang: "Don't worry, sir!"

“What is taken from the people must be used for the people.”

"I have already discussed it with the two palaces..."

"In addition to the money earned from Bianjing Academy being used for the construction and maintenance of Bianjing Academy, the rest will be used to build a 'Longevity Palace' in the palace to honor the two empresses."

"To this end, the Wanshou Palace is being built this time. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will hire people at market prices..."

In fact, it was just spending money to hire contractors from the Forbidden Army to build the palace.

This is part of the plan.

The Imperial Guards in Beijing are dead and hopeless.

However, hasty abolition may affect social stability and even lead to mutiny.

We can only find a way out for them slowly and gradually eliminate them.

Building a garden for the royal family is a great opportunity.

You can take this opportunity to let a large number of forbidden troops complete the transformation from official troops to civilian households.

As for how to operate?

Of course it's very simple - the Imperial Guards had no money to build a garden, but if they were converted into civilian households, they could get wages.

By luring them with benefits, those in the Forbidden Army who don't want to be soldiers at all will soon be able to voluntarily quit the Forbidden Army - it's amazing, and you can give them some money to buy off their military service.

This is better than supporting these people all the time and letting them eat up the finances.

"I have also made an agreement with the governors to allocate the remaining money to the Imperial Academy, Imperial College, and Martial Arts..."

"It will be used to build new schools and dormitories, and it will also be used to build a library, and a scholarship will be established to reward outstanding students who study hard and have excellent morals and academics, or famous teachers who are highly respected and have peaches and plums all over the world. The bonus is initially scheduled

Ranging from five hundred strings to one hundred strings..."

The establishment of schools was the political correctness of the Song Dynasty, and no one would object - since the Qingli period, local officials throughout the Song Dynasty would build schools whenever they had the opportunity.

Moreover, we will try our best to add more fields to the school to support teachers and students.

The idea put forward by Zhao Xu received unanimous support from both the government and the public as soon as it was proposed.

At the same time, this is also a policy guaranteed by the two prime ministers with their own reputations.

Of course Zhao Xu would not let down Han Jiang and Lu Gongzhu.

But...

Start studying and return to study.

Where should the focus be? Zhao Xu has his own opinion.

Although at the beginning, most of the funds must be spent on the Imperial College and Imperial College.

But there is also room for fishing in troubled waters and the possibility of selling sheep's meat to dogs.

"I estimate that this amount of money should be at least three million yuan!"

"It is enough to build dozens of schools in Taixue, Wushu, and Mathematics, build thousands of studios, and provide scholarship support to hundreds of teachers and students!"

"In addition, there should be a lot of funds left..."

"I plan to use it to support some extracurricular projects such as study tours in Taixue and Imperial College..."

"Let the students of Taipei University, like the students of Mr. An Ding, Mr. Lianxi, and Mr. Hengqu, travel around the world, communicate and discuss with famous people and great scholars all over the world!"

As Zhao Xu spoke, he rubbed his hands with a look of sincerity and yearning.

The officials on the left and right, especially the banquet officials, listened and bowed their heads one after another: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhao Xu smiled and enjoyed the congratulations from the officials.

Then, he looked at Lu Dafang and said, "Lu Qing!"

"I'm here!"

"I heard that your younger brother Lu Dalin studied under Mr. Hengqu, Mr. Mingdao and Cheng Jiangshu?"

"As your Majesty knows..." Lu Dafang raised his head, not quite understanding what Zhao Xu meant.

"I want to recruit your younger brother to the capital to serve as a doctor in the Imperial Academy. I wonder if Aiqing thinks it is feasible?" Zhao Xu asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty's great love is my blessing." Lu Dafang bowed and bowed again.

Although I don't know why the officials want to recruit his younger brother who is obsessed with epigraphy every day to the capital, and also want to make him a doctor of Taixue.

However, Lu Dafang knew that this was one of the few opportunities for his younger brother - Lu Dalin, who had been criticized by Hengqu's disciples because of Mr. Hengqu's behavior, and he had been depressed ever since.

He began to become obsessed with epigraphy, something that outsiders saw as something to play with and lose one's ambition, and the whole person became decadent.

In his opinion, if Lu Dalin came to Beijing and entered the Imperial Academy, his living conditions would be somewhat changed.

At least it can make him more positive.

Little did they know that Zhao Xu had spotted Lu Dalin's attainments and research in epigraphy and wanted to recruit him to the capital and send him to the Imperial Academy.

The reason why Lu Dalin was asked to go to the Imperial College was not to teach the students about the classics.

Instead, let him be a catfish.

To muddy the waters of Taixue a little bit - don't study the scriptures and meanings from more than a thousand years ago all day long, let's study something more ancient.

For example, the inscriptions on Shang and Zhou bronzes!

Once the Tai students began to study the inscriptions on bronze vessels, their interests and hobbies expanded accordingly.

In Taixue, it is natural to establish clubs with various interests and hobbies.

As for the students, once they have various interests and hobbies.

Then there is a greater chance that Li Daoyuan, Xu Xiake, and Shen Kuo will appear among them.

At the same time, the chaotic Imperial College will also provide Zhao Xu with an opportunity to intervene - by then, it will be almost time for him to take charge.

After taking office, he naturally had to fully master the central academies that cultivate talents such as Taixue, martial arts, and arithmetic.

Lu Xizhe, who had been observing from the side, remembered something at this time and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, the money received is three million yuan for the two palaces and three million yuan for the establishment of a school... Jing'anfang

The remaining money is only 750,000 yuan..."

"Wouldn't it be enough?"

Zhao Xu laughed.

"Why is it not enough? Not to mention the two hundred and twenty-five houses in the first phase, the funds for the second phase of 300 houses are more than enough!"

Even though wages in Bianjing are high - basically, a young man's daily wages start at a hundred dollars, and a skilled mason or carpenter's wages are more than two hundred dollars.

However, for something like a house, the construction cost is the lowest at any time.

Zhang Heng from the Ministry of Accounts had already settled the accounts with Zhao Xu.

The funds of 750,000 pounds are enough to complete the first phase of the Jing'an Square project, as well as all the landscaping, greening and school construction needs.

"There's still a second phase?" Everyone was surprised.

"There are 300 units in the second phase?"

"Now that there is a second phase, will there be a third or fourth phase?" Many people are thinking in their hearts.
