Although the process of "wilding" the content of the debate between the government and the opposition was the result of the joint efforts of many people with lofty ideals, the final word was undoubtedly Fan Zhongyan, who had offended Yan Zhijian.

Although he was far away in Raozhou, Zhao Zhen still looked dissatisfied when he saw her studying.

Fan Zhongyan's prestige among scholars has always been something the emperor was afraid of.

But this time, Fan Zhongyan finally stood on the emperor's side. This gave the emperor some reason to alleviate his anger.

At the same time, he also approved Fan Zhongyan's application to transfer to Fujian Road.

This was also the last official he approved to move to Fujian during this period.

Because, with the establishment of the so-called scientific research bureau, the task of building the skeleton has been basically completed. What they need now is a series of low-level talents and labor to enrich the flesh and blood of these institutions.

This is Li Ning's idea.

It's a pity that that guy is still on the front line and unable to make fully clear arrangements for these institutions.

However, Emperor Zhao Zhen fully communicated with him according to the meaning revealed in his letters, and almost forcibly made up for this shortcoming with the awareness and authority of imperial power.

Although after his triumphant return, many things may need to be re-planned, but now, these structures can barely operate.

This is the credit of the great emperor Zhao Zhen, but it is a pity that the financial resources that can be used now are smaller. Therefore, the 4 scientific research bureaus and 18 scientific research institutes designed by Li Ning are now established in the former location of the Beijing Scientific Research Bureau and the Scientific Research Bureau directly under the Light Curtain Department.

Cheng Lin, the third envoy in charge of finance, has complained to Emperor Zhao Zhen more than once. It is said that Li Ning encountered huge problems in purchasing the materials requested.

Emperor Zhao Zhen was seriously dissatisfied with his statement. Because those are the materials needed for shipbuilding, this is also the work that Li Ning attaches most importance to now.

However, Cheng Lin learned from Privy Councilor Li Zi that warships from 1,300 years ago were mainly triremes. There were many unreasonable features in the sail design and layout, so when sailing, there were Many times we have to rely on the strength of the paddlers.

Therefore, the "Minister of Defense" of the Song Dynasty Empire believed that it was possible to dominate the Greek offshore waters without a very good warship.

There is no doubt that the Privy Councilor, who had hardly been on the battlefield, thought very correctly. His plan not only ensured victory, but also did not create any financial risks.

However, Zhao Zhen is a young emperor after all, and there is a hidden danger in his heart that he will be happy with his achievements. Li Ning hopes that the ship can be durable, so as to reduce the burden on the mountains and forests of Fujian. After all, the forests along the Mediterranean coast are distributed, especially in the interior of the Asia Minor Peninsula. It is very rare in arid areas.

Therefore, both parties disagreed with Li Zi's plan. The latter had several arguments with the emperor because of this, and finally had to compromise due to the pressure of imperial power.

But both he and Cheng Lin, the Third Secretary's envoy, had realized that they were speculating that the investment required by the Light Curtain Division might be like a bottomless pit, absorbing the wealth of the imperial court.

However, Li Ning's next move left them stunned.

"The Scientific Research Bureau is going to establish an affiliated school." Cai Qi said at the meeting of the Political Hall. "The students in the school are mainly divided into two categories. One is those who have performed well in the admissions examination, but I can't see the syllabus of the admissions examination. Well, the tests there are not classics from the Four Books and Five Classics. It may be difficult for ordinary children to cope with it. Therefore, we have prepared another path for them, that is, those with financial conditions. You should understand the word economy. That’s cool, if you want to take the exam, you can pay.”

"Shuxun?" Zhang Shixun asked.

"That's right." Shuxiu means book fees and tuition fees, which are a key source of income for private academies. However, Li Ning is not sure whether public schools charge them, so under the banner of reserving talents, he charges part of the key training for free. goal, and then did not forget to enrich his financial resources.

Moreover, the ratio between the two types of students is terrifying.

"One is free and five are paid. I'm afraid these five paid ones have finished supporting teachers and supporting classmates."

"Besides, we are still teaching separately. I'm afraid I won't be able to see my classmates from Beiyang."

"Haha, we can't even get close to each other. The precautions are very tight."

"Hey. Although this kind of money-making method is speechless, teaching and educating people, I'm afraid it will also be looked down upon."

"This is not the most powerful thing. As I just mentioned, the entrance exam is actually a very important exam. For this reason, Li Ning also specially provided a set of exam guides. I heard that they are sold very well on Fujian Road."

"Sell?" All the ministers immediately laughed knowingly, "It seems that the academy does not need to worry about financial problems."

"Of course it's not a problem. There is an exam before the wheat harvest in May every year. Now there are less than three months left. Which student is not preparing for the exam urgently at home?"

"So soon, do I have to prepare a set for my son?"

"Well, my son can take the teacher's major and I'm sure he'll be admitted."

"What is the teacher's major?"

"Studying high is a teacher, and being upright is a model. The so-called normal school means a private school teacher."

With a snap, everyone present laughed. I am afraid that the idea of ​​letting a prime minister's yamen be a private tutor is a bit out of tune.

However, Zhang Shixun immediately agreed, as if he valued this business very much.

The other ministers stopped talking. They were thinking about what Zhang Shixun knew more than them.

No one told them that the emperor had begun to pay more and more attention to certain trends. Although the content of this trend was not known to outsiders, the emperor had already opened the scientific research bureau to Bianjing City, and was also preparing to open it to other places in the Song Dynasty. Place means that more Light Curtain Divisions may be needed to handle certain matters.

Therefore, the emperor was actually willing to save money. Because he wants to keep enough savings to cope with sudden changes.

But he can't save money on certain details, because he needs to know whether certain measures will work, such as whether the ship he built will work?

Although Huang Song was not a traditional maritime power, the importance of ships to maritime trade and the importance of maritime trade to finance made him dare not take matters of ships lightly.

Moreover, if the emperor encounters the test of the light curtain again, escaping from other light curtains may also be a good choice.

The methods of escape on land are well known to many countries, but only the sea may be able to stop them.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen attaches great importance to supporting maritime exploration.

And his support quickly brought him a huge surprise.

Operation Black Sea is about to begin!
