Li Shimin fell silent.
However, when he compared Zhang Feng's technical school with the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Agriculture in his heart, he could see the problem.
If Zhang Feng really generously imparted all his extraordinary skills to the people of the Tang Dynasty, then three years later, wouldn't the Ministry of Works be turned upside down?
It was even possible that the Ministry of Works would be shut down.
If the skills Zhang Feng displayed, such as his culinary skills, wine-making skills, and other god-like skills, spread out, wouldn't the people of the Tang Dynasty be like dragons?
By then, wouldn't White Deer College become the Ministry of Works of the Tang Dynasty?
Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but burn.
Although there were hundreds of officials in the imperial court, these old things didn't think about making progress all day long. Instead, they thought about how to climb up. Just like the drought last time, and the schemes of Tubo and other countries. If Zhang Feng wasn't there, what would have happened?
And the plague of locusts later.
Would there be a single person who could think of a way to solve this problem when they needed help?
No one!
In the end, it was Zhang Feng alone who settled the matter while drinking and chatting.
However, if Zhang Feng really did that, wouldn't it mean that three years later, there would be a hundred people who could teach Zhang Feng even a little bit of Zhang Feng's skills? Then, wouldn't Li Shimin really be a hands-off boss?
Would he still be so tired by then?
"My dear ministers, what do you think of this academy, no, this technical school? You know the main problem now. If I announce to the world that this academy is as good as the Imperial College, or even better than the Imperial College, what do you think? "
"This …"
Wei Zheng and the others were a little hesitant.
"Your Majesty, although we also think that with Brother Zhang Feng's ability, he will definitely be able to teach famous people, once this thing is made public, won't it cause dissatisfaction in the imperial court?"
"The Imperial College is recognized as the best institution of learning. Last time, the Chang 'an University incident had already caused many people in the imperial court to criticize it. If Your Majesty does this now, won't it …"
"Your Majesty, this matter has to be taken seriously, unless …"
"Enough."
Li Shimin waved his hand.
"I've decided on this matter. Previously, if I didn't feel that I couldn't bring myself to do this, Brother Zhang Feng might have become the Imperial Preceptor. Now, with the Crown Prince's Junior Tutor taking charge of the situation at Chang 'an University, it's basically Li Gang and the old Xiucai stirring up trouble on the surface. To put it bluntly, Brother Zhang Feng and the others are also on the surface. As for Brother Zhang Feng, as long as you do things a little more meticulously, there won't be any problems."
"Moreover, I'll talk about this White Deer College during the morning court session tomorrow. Treat it as a trial for the Crown Prince. I don't think they'll say anything!"
Li Shimin made the decision with a wave of his hand.
This matter was completely beneficial to the country and the people. No tuition fees. This would allow many poor students with aspirations and dreams to take a step forward.
He had to let the people have something to look forward to.
As for if anyone in the imperial court dared to stand up for this matter?
Then, he would be kicked out of the imperial court!
After taking sides twice in the imperial court, there weren't many people who dared to openly oppose him.
Apart from the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, as well as the Guanlong people.
When the time came, there would naturally be people to deal with them. With Zhang Feng's lazy personality, it was possible that these people would be pulled in as able-bodied men.
Once again, they discussed the details of the plan.
Afterwards, Li Shimin had Little Guizi grind the paper and personally drafted the imperial edict.
However, at this moment, Little Guizi asked with some difficulty, "Your Majesty, how should this servant announce this imperial edict? Where is the most appropriate place to announce it? "
It would have been fine if Little Guizi hadn't asked. Now that he did, Li Shimin and the others were instantly put in a difficult position.
With Zhang Feng's crafty demeanor, if they rashly announced the imperial edict, this grandson was bound to think of something.
"How about this, you bring the imperial edict tomorrow. Fifteen minutes after I enter the small tavern, you send an old eunuch that Zhang Feng hasn't seen before to personally announce the edict."
When Wei Zheng and the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
"Then, Your Majesty, you …"
Li Shimin thought for a moment and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the stone table. He said, "Tomorrow, I will receive the imperial edict together with Brother Zhang Feng!"
When Little Guizi heard this, his soul almost left his body in fright.
The Emperor still had to kneel to receive the imperial edict?
This …
What was going on?
What was going on?
What kind of drama was this?
Who would dare to stand in front of the Emperor?!
Heavens!
"Your Majesty, you … you are the Emperor of the Nine and Five, you …"
When Wei Zheng and the others heard this, their expressions abruptly changed. Everyone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake hastily knelt on the ground and hurriedly begged Li Shimin to retract the imperial edict.
However, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "This matter is settled. On one hand, I can dispel Brother Zhang Feng's concerns. On the other hand, I also have a share in White Deer College! To be able to nurture top talents for the Tang Dynasty, I can even kneel and worship Confucius and Mencius, let alone kneel to receive the edict I wrote! "
