Several major families have been in the Daqian Kingdom for so many years, and they still know the family background of the Daqian Kingdom very well.

Not to mention the army of Daqian Kingdom.

In the past, when the Daqian Kingdom was still in its glory, it had more than millions of troops.

At that time, Daqian's territory was very vast and its national power was strong. Even the now powerful Daliang Empire was no match for Daqian, so naturally it was not afraid of anyone.

But Daqian was already in despair after all.

They are so destitute that even a small country dares to attack them.

Therefore, in the eyes of many aristocratic families, the Daqian Kingdom is actually not the best place for families to take root.

But after all, they have lived here for generations, so they have no choice but to stay in the Daqian Kingdom temporarily to see if Daqian can be saved.

So when the ancient Emperor of Zhao led his troops to besiege the Imperial City of Daqian, they chose to escape.

At that time, they felt that they were done.

But unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince turned the tide and not only pushed back the enemy troops, but also captured the entire ancient Zhao Kingdom.

Now Wei Guo has also been defeated, which makes them unable to react.

"Master Zhuge, our families are family friends, and we are all related by marriage to each other. You don't want to make fun of us."

Patriarch Cui was the first to not believe it, thinking that Patriarch Zhuge was just trying to scare them.

Among all the family heads present, only their children were not arrested.

"Haha, if I really have that skill, I might as well quickly find a few more women to have more babies."

"Even if they are children of a concubine, they belong to our Zhuge family. If they can't inherit the family business in the future, they can still do other things."

"Compared with a prosperous population, what's your problem?"

The Zhuge family's words undoubtedly slapped the faces of several aristocratic families present.

But no one present had the intention to pay attention to him, and they all fell silent.

"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to find out the information. I believe that with your ability, you can definitely find out the most accurate information."

"I might as well tell you that my Zhuge family will stay here forever."

"Perhaps there will be another renaissance in Dagan. Even after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, our Dagan will most likely become stronger than ever before."

"So the Zhuge family will definitely support the prince in the future."

"No matter what policies he proposes, I, the Zhuge family, will definitely follow them."

The heads of other major aristocratic families were almost turning green at this time.

It was clearly agreed that everyone should escape together, but now a heretic has appeared and has no intention of uniting with them to resist the Daqian royal family.

"Master Zhuge, have you ever thought that once we support the prince, we from aristocratic families will have no chance to show off our power in the court?"

"Our power will gradually be taken over by those mud-legged people. By then, what dignity will our family have?"

Someone immediately stood up dissatisfied.

After all, they are a century-old family and have a lot of background.

Even though they have given up their work and are preparing to flee to other countries, they are still stubborn.

"No, no, I think His Royal Highness's plan is very good."

"You don't even think about it, what if we agree to his plan?"

"Don't forget, paper, books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones are very expensive."

"An enlightenment book on the market now costs at least five taels of silver."

"Is this something ordinary people can afford?"

Bai Chenfeng had already studied Qin Feng's memorial thoroughly.

Qin Feng was very puzzled that he wanted to reform the army, not only to pay soldiers, but also to let them participate in learning.

Because either of these two items costs a lot of money.

It can even be said that this sexy operation simply refreshed his understanding of the prince.

He originally thought that the prince was an extremely wise man, especially when he had the ability to command the army to attack the ancient Zhao Kingdom and conquer all the ancient Zhao Kingdom's territory.

It would be really good to be an emperor in the future. Maybe the Daqian Kingdom will become more and more glorious under the leadership of the prince.

However, after a member of the clan was arrested, he suddenly discovered that the prince was not controllable.

He is very domineering and powerful. Once he really takes the throne, it will most likely be the end of their family.

But when he saw the memorial given to him by Qin Feng, he felt that the prince was too naive.

Bai Chenfeng's words obviously reminded all the aristocratic families present.

"Are enlightenment books so expensive?"

"I remember, can't I buy a lot of copies at once?"

The head of the Chen family looked very confused.

Others echoed.

"Haha, you guys really don't know how to be a family member. You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are."

"Fifty taels of silver is already very expensive in the eyes of ordinary people."

"It is very rare for ordinary people to be able to save one tael of silver in a year."

"Fifty taels of silver is even more rare. Besides our aristocratic family, who else can afford to study?"

"Even if the treasury plans to help those Qiu Ba, how long will it last?"

Bai Chenfeng was full of confidence, and now he was not afraid at all.

"Isn't it right?"

"I heard that the treasury is now being expanded and is more than ten times larger than before."

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince also obtained a treasure when he was in the ancient Zhao Kingdom."

"The treasury has been filled up all of a sudden. It won't be difficult to come up with the money to open a school, right?"

It is a good thing that the treasury is full, and it is undoubtedly good for the families and talents of the Daqian Kingdom.

But since the treasury was full, the royal family began to drift away and showed less and less respect for their family.

Now they are even starting to use knives on them. It is impossible not to be angry.

But now the emperor has a large number of troops, and there is a decisive and decisive Crown Prince watching them.

Let them put a trap on them and not dare to mess around.

Seeing that they had been silent for so long without speaking, Bai Chenfeng could only cough lightly.

"Haha, it's okay to pay off one person, ten people, and hundreds of people, but what about thousands of people?"

"A book costs at least five taels of silver. How much does it cost for ten thousand people?" Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard this. They know that this is not a small sum of money. It costs five taels of silver for one person to study, and it only costs ten people and one hundred people. After all, the number of people is not too many. But once tens of thousands of people are involved, it’s a huge sum of money.

"Not to mention pens, inks, paper and inkstones, which are also very precious."

"Do you think the treasury can afford it?"

All the aristocratic families fell silent, not to mention the national treasury. Even if all the countries unite, it will be difficult to support them, and it is even very likely that their wealth will be emptied in the shortest possible time.
