Even if Sun Simiao's letter was negotiated by the other party, it would take ten and a half months, plus the staff's itinerary had to be communicated to each other when they came, sometimes a month and a half, so Li Mingda and Sun Simiao didn't care about it anymore after talking about it.
Of course, Zhang Jiao and the others were also asked to prepare some modifications to the original plan.
In order to achieve the future situation of democracy, he had formulated a religious annexation plan early. The original plan was to issue a decree through the court to purge first and then annex. Now that he saw Sun Simiao, Li Mingda thought it was an opportunity to give it a try.
In fact, even if Lao Li agrees to the implementation of the bill, he will encounter a lot of resistance. Unless he waits until he takes office, it will definitely not be much faster. Taoism will not have a greater impact than Buddhism. Lao Li's family is a supporter of Taoism. In order to fight against the Buddhism supported by the Li family, Wu Zetian later flourished Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. In the end, some temples turned into bandits in the troubled times.
Of course, there are many monasteries that are actively trying to save people and cannot just kill them.
Putting the religious matters aside for the time being, Li Mingda prepared for the construction site.
First, he worked overtime to build a house for himself in the academy, and then started preparing to move.
His office supplies, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, drawings, food utensils, and the guards and maids all had to be organized and prepared.
The same process was carried out to transport it there, and temporary training for the guards and maids was also required. Things to pay attention to, after all, the outdoor construction site is not as safe as the mansion.
There are also those at home who want to go with us. We can't all go. We have to deal with the intelligence collected from various places, and we have our own workshop. We need people who can suppress the factory and clean up the academy. Li Mingda also needs to relocate the small workshop in his house to expand the experimental space.
There were also those who were originally going to give Li Mingda money to help build the academy. Except for Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, etc., no one close to him came.
Naturally, Li Mingda and Xi Jinping would not be polite to them. The first project of the project was to use cement as an adhesive to glue together the stones cut from the mountain to make a large monument with the words "Mingda Academy Four" on it. There are big characters, and the name of the person who donated the money, his official position and other information are engraved on the base below.
The first one is naturally the names of Lao Li and his wife, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan, who always wanted to harm me.
Next are Li Mingda, Roumigan, Ruhua Zhi, and Pang Tai.
Then there are people like Cheng Yaojin.
Just engrave the fonts in a large and full size for them without leaving any gaps.

<(￣ˇ￣)/
You guys, I dare not slap you in the face every minute, and I will slap you in the face for thousands of years.
After the monument at the mountain gate was erected, Li Mingda sent people to spread the list of people in the court who said they had given money but had not.
In addition, Lao Li also vigorously reported on the establishment of new academies across the country and how much money he and others had made.
Governments in various places knew what Lao Li was good at. In an instant, excerpts and articles praising his virtues were flying all over the place. At the same time, they also scolded those noble princes from aristocratic families who did not mean what they said.
In this era, there are no brainwashing advertisements or pyramid schemes. All business operations are supported by faith.
Such denial has a huge impact on them, especially the businessmen and families who cooperate with your family. They will think that you don't even do what you said in front of the emperor at the Tang Dynasty meeting, let alone these ordinary people's families. .
This matter still needs to ferment. After a few months, they will know the damage. The peak period will be after half a year and a year. Moreover, Li Mingda will not let this story fall silent for a short period of time, but vigorously Promote.
Lao Li naturally continued to support the idea of cracking down on the influence of these people among the people, and would also secretly add fuel to the flames.
After all, Li Shimin, the emperor, was not happy in the past few years. He got much better after Li Mingda started making troubles. Otherwise, he would still have to tie his hands and think of ways to trade with the aristocratic family.
The monument was erected and infrastructure construction began simultaneously.
Workers hired from the market started working with shovels, hammers, chisels and other steel tools made in Li Mingda's workshop.
When they looked at the thing in their hands, they didn't dare to use it at first. After all, there are not so many iron tools in construction work. Most of them are just made of wood, or the head position is wrapped with a small piece of iron.
If Li Mingda sells these things, it will cost at least three to five dollars. You have to know that the size and thickness of a few shovels can be used as a breastplate when heated and forged together.
I don’t even think about how much a piece of armor costs.
Li Mingda knows that things are valuable, so he naturally distributes them by numbers. He collects tools at work and takes them back after work. Unless they are broken or broken, they have to be brought over to very small pieces.
In order to prevent bits and pieces of theft, if there is too much loss in a project, the construction site must be surveyed. If there is gravel or something that is not on site but excessive construction loss, all personnel will be reviewed and questioned.
Even such smart corrupt officials can't escape, let alone a few petty thieves. In order to prevent them from selling stolen goods, the blacksmith shops in Chang'an City also issued notices in advance.
If you dare to collect fragments of unknown origin, the consequences will be extremely serious if discovered.
With Li Mingda's evil reputation, ordinary blacksmiths would naturally not dare to do it, and those who dared would naturally ignore it.
From the first day of construction, someone attempted to steal tools and was caught by the patrolling Qianniuwei. After careful interrogation, the person said that he just thought the steel on the tools was valuable and wanted to sell it.
The Qianniu Guard personnel naturally did not believe his lies and escorted the person to Yan Liang. Yan Liang knew that Li Mingda valued these tools and interrogated him directly.
The thief who was reluctant to admit it at first gave up soon and admitted that someone came to him before the construction and said that if there were any weird things on site, he would take them back and buy them with a lot of money.
After carefully asking the person's appearance, name, and clothing, he quickly reported the situation to Li Mingda, and at the same time sent more manpower to conduct more rigorous inspections of the scene.
Yan Liang came to Li Mingda and explained the situation.
After hearing this, Li Mingda smiled slightly: "I really can't help it. They can analyze the metal formula with some shovels and the like. There will be more and more of these little things in the future. Now they are just a temporary rarity." It’s not hard to do and it’s not worth much.”
Yan Liang asked Li Mingda curiously: "Why does the Lord want to inspect the defense so strictly?"
A proud smile showed through his teeth: "If I don't take these seriously, how could those people jump out of the darkness on their own initiative?"
"Yan Liang, remember it's hard to catch a mouse hiding in the ground, but you can't escape a mouse that stretches out its claws."
