Seeing Li Shou walking in hastily, Zhu Yunye suddenly felt a dull pain in his forehead.
To be honest, Zhu Yunye didn't like the old-fashioned Li Shou very much. The reason why I agreed to the quota division proposed by him in the first place was because I was worried that if it continued, more and more officials would come out of the academy.
The emperor, even though the students in the academy were nominally his emperor's disciples, he still liked the idea of balance and checks.
But after that experience, Li Shou seemed to have found his goal in life. He would always come to Zhu Yunye and loudly express his thoughts, but most of his thoughts were wishful thinking and unrealistic.
Zhu Yunye is not so stupid that he can't distinguish between good and bad, so of course he will not agree with Li Shou's opinion.
But the more this happened, the more spirited Li Shou became in admonishing him.
"Your Majesty, I want to sue the academy!" After Li Shou greeted him, he said something that shocked even Zhu Yunye.
Zhu Yunye looked at Li Shou with wide eyes, his face full of indignation, and he had a deeper understanding of Li Shou's overestimation of his abilities.
Do you really think Han Du is a soft persimmon? Challenging Han Du's nerves again and again? Even I don't dare to do this. Who gave you the courage?
Zhu Yunye smiled and prepared to make peace: "Why did Li Aiqing say this?"
Li Shou didn't realize at all that the emperor wanted him to shut up, and thought that the emperor didn't understand the situation, so he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the academy rewards students with 300,000 yuan every year, and their pure knowledge makes them stinky. ,Isn’t this corrupting ethics?”
What three hundred thousand dollars?
Zhu Yunye turned his head slightly and looked at the eunuch beside him in confusion.
The eunuch quickly bowed and apologized, "Your Majesty, the academy has just announced that it will allocate 300,000 yuan every year to reward those who study mathematics, physics and chemistry. I thought this was just a trivial matter, so I didn't use it to disturb the emperor's purity. Yes. Please punish me for your servant’s fault.”
Zhu Yunye also felt that this was just a trivial matter, so he did not blame the eunuch and dismissed the matter with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor didn't pursue the matter. He straightened up and took a step back to stand behind the emperor.
At the beginning, he indeed thought that the news was not big, so he did not report it to the emperor. But he didn't expect to be caught by Li Shou. If the emperor hadn't shown mercy, he would have been left without food today.
After being treated like this, the eunuch felt hatred towards Li Shousheng. But with the emperor by his side, he certainly didn't dare to show it in the slightest. He glanced at Li Shou from the corner of his eye and kept the matter in his heart.
There was no place for eunuchs in Li Shou's eyes, so he naturally couldn't see anything strange about the eunuchs.
After Zhu Yunye understood what was going on, he still didn't think the academy had any fault.
He couldn't help but hesitate and said: "Well, if the academy is willing to spend money, I don't seem to have any reason to care about it, right?"
When Li Shou heard this, he immediately refused and argued: "Your Majesty, students are ignorant and easily deceived by money. If the academy has given out so much money, why don't students in the world flock to the academy? What if all the good students are given away by the academy? If the recruitment is gone, then what will the Imperial College recruit?"
Zhu Yunye was speechless and asked with doubts in his eyes: "Then what do you want?"
"I sincerely request the emperor to issue an edict to prohibit academy awards!" Li Shou said matter-of-factly.
......hiss!
Zhu Yunye
Hearing this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at Li Shou in disbelief with his eyes wide open.
If the academy's rewards were not announced, then it wouldn't be a big problem to order a ban on them. But now that the academy has announced it, how can I ban it?
Cutting off one's wealth is like killing one's parents. Who doesn’t like money?
If Zhu Yunye issued an edict to ban academy awards, then he would probably offend all the academy students at once. I don’t know how many of these people will be the pillars of the imperial court in the future. How can Zhu Yunye be alienated from his future ministers?
"This is the academy's own reward, how can I stop it? No, no..." Zhu Yunye shook his head like a rattle.
"What's wrong with this?" Li Shou chased after him.
Zhu Yunye shook his head resolutely: "If you set up a reward in the Imperial College, I won't stop you, but I won't issue a decree."
Li Shou was not willing to receive such an answer, and immediately said: "I have no money, how can I come up with 300,000 yuan as a reward every year?"
Zhu Yunye showed a smile on his face and said cheerfully: "Then it has nothing to do with me, and I can't help you."
Li Shou rolled his eyes and said, "I can't afford this money, but three hundred thousand guan is just a drop in the bucket for the emperor, right?"
Zhu Yunye was stunned, looked at Li Shou in disbelief, and asked sternly: "What do you mean? Do you want me to pay?"
"The emperor is rich all over the world, and the Imperial College also belongs to the emperor. What's wrong with paying some money?" Li Shou looked like it was a matter of course.
Zhu Yunye was speechless to Li Shou, he said it quite easily, what's the matter with paying some money? Is this a little money? This is thirty
Thousands of dollars, and it’s still 300,000 dollars every year.
It is understandable that the academy rewards student Zhu Yunye, just like when Han Du offered a reward of 100,000 yuan for building a steam engine. Even though Han Du seemed to have spent a lot of money at the beginning, after the steam engine was built, it didn't take long for Han Du to make back the money through the steam engine.
Therefore, the academy’s rewards can be rewarded. Not only will you not lose money, you can even make a lot of money.
But what does the Imperial College have? Can someone like that earn back 10,000 yuan?
Zhu Yunye is not mentally ill, so how could he agree?
Talking about money hurts feelings, and the smile on Zhu Yunye's face quickly faded, replaced by an impartial look.
He said calmly: "Isn't Li Aiqing always teaching students to be indifferent to fame and fortune? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk about money now?"
Li Shou was startled and couldn't find the words to refute for a moment. After all, what the emperor said was indeed the truth.
Before Li Shou could react, Zhu Yunye waved his hand directly and said: "Let's settle this matter. If you have a way to reward the Imperial Academy students, even if it is more than the academy reward, I will not care about it. But, I will not go out of my way." You can only figure out your own way with money."
"That's it, I'm tired, you stand down!"
"Your Majesty..." Of course Li Shou was not willing to leave just now. The key was that he had no way to get money to reward students. Let alone 300,000 guan per year, he couldn't even get 30,000 guan.
When the eunuch saw that the emperor's face was already impatient, he immediately stood up and stood in front of Li Shou with a smile, and said hehe: "Master Li, please come back."
Li Shou looked past the eunuch and towards the emperor behind him. Seeing that the emperor had lowered his gaze and ignored him, he had no choice but to sigh and leave.
