What happened in Tai Chi Palace was soon known to everyone. Li Dejian's name spread throughout Chang'an again through the mouths of several bigwigs. There was only one central idea. Chang'an, which is as sensual as ghosts, had his brain broken. He actually paid out of his own pocket and paid 200,000 yuan a year for the court to set up an education fund.

The news spread, and whether those who were familiar with Li Hao or those who were not familiar with Li Hao, everyone had a heated discussion on the matter.

People who are not familiar with Li Hao: Who is Li Dejian? What is the first disaster in Chang'an?

People who are familiar with Li Hao: This guy is so stupid that he always wants to show off all day long.

People who are jealous of Li Hao: Tell me, isn’t it just a few bad money? What’s so great about it? If I have millions of dollars at home, I can do it.

People who admire Li Hao: The youngest founding county in the Tang Dynasty, the youngest, took action, was indeed extraordinary, with 200,000 yuan a year, a big deal.

More importantly, those ordinary people, after getting the news, asked what the education fund does?

After knowing the role of education funds, their first concern is whether they are qualified to apply for scholarships.

Li Hao did not care about the rumors in Chang'an City.

Well..., but it seems that even if he cares, it's useless. He can't block all his mouth when he grows on others.

After leaving the palace, he hurried home with the old man. Li Jing didn't say a word on the way, but he knew that the old man was in a very complicated mood. He probably was thinking about whether to make bamboo shoots and stir-fried meat after he went home or the meat was stewed with sticks.

Not long after, the Duke of Wei's Mansion arrived, and both Li Hao and his son were dismounted. Before Li Jing could speak, someone was already flying and rushed into the house, shouting: "Mom, mom, help, my father is going to beat me to death."

“…”

This little bastard actually learned to complain first by the evil one.

Li Jing thought speechlessly, glared at Tiezhu who was smirking, and snorted into the house with anger. At the same time, he ordered people to close the door tightly. From now on, the Li family is allowed to enter and not leave.

Hongfu knew that his son was back today, so he specially arranged for someone to make a table of good food. Just as he was thinking about why the father and son hadn't come back yet, he heard Li Hao's ghost cry.

When he got up and came to the door, he saw a flash of figure. Li Hao had already rushed into the room like a rabbit, hiding behind him like a quail. Looking back, it was Li Jing with a dark face.

"My husband, what happened? Dejian just came back and got offended you. You just didn't have the same knowledge as him."

It was still my mother's reasonableness, and Li Hao stuck his head out from behind Hongfu and lit it quickly.

Li Jing was so angry that he was not persuaded by Hongfu in one sentence. He reached out and pointed behind her: "Madam, ask this rebellious son yourself, ask what he said to His Majesty. 200,000 yuan a year, that's 200,000 yuan a year, and it was spent without blinking."

Hong Fu was confused. What happened in the imperial study had not yet reached her ears. So she didn't know what was going on, so she asked in wonder: "What 200,000 yuan?"

"Education Fund, Your Majesty plans to establish a charity school throughout the Tang Dynasty. My child promised that Your Majesty establish an education fund to issue scholarships to students who cannot afford to study." Li Hao said in a scattered manner.

If he doesn't say anything about this, Li Jing will also say it. It would be better to admit it on his own initiative.

Looking at the chattering old man, Li Hao shouted seriously for the first time: "Dad!"

"What are you doing? You don't have the share of your words here." Li Jing obviously didn't like his interruption and glared at Li Hao: "I warn you that from today on, all your expenses will be gone. I will pay for you in the future. Now, even if you have a penny at home..."

"Dad, can you listen to me first?" Li Hao looked at my mother who was smirking helplessly and said patiently: "In fact, our family is not as miserable as you always think, and it will not make you bear the humiliation and embezzle the little money and food of the Ministry of War."

Li Jing stared at the eyes, looking like I was not greedy, would I wait for money to fall from the sky?

Li Haoquan pretended not to see it, and continued to say to himself: "This..., how do you say it? In fact, you have always miscalculated some of the accounts, such as the charcoal business. The annual income of this item is no less than 50,000 jin.

In addition, the cement workshop has been in short supply recently, so the annual income is up 150,000 guan. Recently, my child opened another cement workshop in Qizhou, and the annual income will not be less than 200,000 guan after it is put into production.

Finally, there is also the sea business. After the dividends from the Ocean Navy, our family has less than 100,000 yuan."

True or false? Li Jing looked at the butler Lao Chen with his exploratory eyes.

Old Chen's face turned red at this moment, trying to control his emotions so that he would not laugh, and nodded stiffly: "Master, the young master is right, and... and after the storage center by the Wei River is built, the annual income will not be less than 40,000 to 50,000 jin."

Oh my go, why are I so tired!

This is the first time that Li Jing has fully understood the situation of his own industry. He has no idea about the income of 400,000 yuan a year. He just now wanted to give up his old face and continue to work hard for Li Er after he made a comeback.

Disgraceful! Disappointment! Angry and anger! His eyes looked at Li Hao more and more unkind. If he didn't beat him up, he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

Li Hao was so clever. Without saying a word, he jumped up and hid behind Hongfu again, and shouted pitifully: "Mom!"

stamp…….

Hongfu pointed his finger on Li Hao's head, and said with a grudge: "A prodigal thing, that's your father, why are you afraid of him? Besides, if you have nothing to do, let your father beat him up and vent his anger, you can still lose a piece of meat."

What did you say? I'm afraid that I'm wrong?

Li Jing was speechless: "..."

Li Hao was also speechless. What does it mean to let my father vent his anger when he was fine? Is the old man slap that ordinary people can bear? Besides, I was not used to vent my anger when I was born.

However, after such interruption, the atmosphere in the room eased a lot, and Li Jing was no longer as awkward as before. After letting go of his worries, it seemed that the glass of wine was much better than before.

Hongfu smiled, looking at her son and husband at the moment, she felt satisfied no matter how she looked.

After a meal, a servant came up to serve tea and Hongfu saw that Li Jing was also relieved, so she asked Li Hao: "Dejian, tell me what the education fund is like. Don't tell my mother that your purpose is very simple, otherwise don't blame your father for beating you."

"Yes!" Li Jing, the number one tool man under Hongfu, nodded righteously and expressed support for his wife's attitude.

Seeing that there were no outsiders at this moment, Li Hao simply let go: "Dad, mom, can you ask you a question first?"

Hongfu nodded: "You said."

"If there is a person who is obviously very talented in studying, but because his family has no money to study, he has to give up his ideals and manage his low-key career, someone will give him some money and tell him, 'I can pay you money to study, and I can lend you some more money, but after you graduate in the future, you will have to work for me for five years, and the wages will be paid for these five years'. What choice do you two think this person will make?"

"This..." Li Jing frowned.

In fact, I don’t have to think about this question, unless I am a fool, I will definitely agree.

Li Hao continued at this time: "Or, among the people who came to me to borrow money, some of them were really good at studying, and later they passed the imperial examination and became officials in the court. Will he face the people who changed his destiny with gratitude?

Or, this person will become the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Do you two think he will take care of some descendants who once sponsored his benefactor?

Dad, mom, for our family, this 200,000 yuan a year is precisely an investment and an insurance, but we invest in the future.

Think about it, two or three decades later, poor families have risen, and the government and the country are all officials, students and children who have received funding from my Li family. They do not ask them to be grateful to me, as long as they take care of them as much as they can, the money we spend will be worth it."

...

That night, Li Jing was lying on the bed and tossing and unable to sleep. Hongfu also opened his eyes and looked at the moon outside the window, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, but Li Jing suddenly sighed: “Oh, the Yangtze River is pushing the previous wave, madam, we are all old!”

"Yes, I'm old!" Hongfu sighed with Li Jing, and said with a slight silence: "Honey, do you think, who does Dejian look like? What kind of monster did we two give birth to?"

Li Jing stood up, put on his clothes, shook his head and said, "I don't know, when I was as big as him, I only knew to carry a sword and run around the mountain."

"Haha..." When Li Jing talked about his youth, Hongfu's face showed a little shyness, and he didn't know what he thought of, but soon, she struggled out of her memories and asked with a smile: "Mr., do you think Dejian can succeed? Will anyone see his plan?"

Li Jing replied without thinking: "At least your Majesty should be able to see clearly, otherwise he would not have agreed to let the prince come to the commander in the afternoon."

"Then..., for the aristocratic families and the gentry, it is not a good thing for them to establish a charity school. They will not hold a grudge against Shang Dejian."
