Du Qi said, "Mr. Wang, there's no need to rush. Of course, don't worry, I'll help you with the academy. The Crown Prince has been targeting the academy recently, so I'll take action. "
Wang Ji immediately laughed when he heard that.
He was finally relieved. In fact, Wang Ji went north this time because of Du Qi's words. With Du Qi's help, he didn't believe that Li Jiancheng could continue to be arrogant.
Wang Ji changed the topic and said seriously, "Mr. Du, although I'm a Confucian scholar. In fact, I've read all the Hundred Schools of Thought and found that if everyone is a Confucian scholar, it may not be good.
"Also, many of my close friends have their own interests. Some like medicine, some like arithmetic, some like geography, some like astronomy, and some even like Mohism and Legalism. I have good friends."
"These people are really knowledgeable."
Wang Ji looked at Du Qi with an expectant look and said, "I want to set up these in the academy."
Du Qi said, "Mr. Wang, you can arrange it."
Du Qi's academy of the Tang dynasty hoped to be a comprehensive one. It would be best if an academy could bring about changes in the Tang dynasty. Of course, it was not easy, but Wang Ji was ahead of the curve to have such an idea.
Du Qi said, "Mr. Wang, I support the establishment of the Hundred Schools of Thought. If you need money, I'll give you money. If you need people or my help, just ask. In short, these aspects will be built and filled in bit by bit. "
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!"
Wang Ji nodded hurriedly with a bright smile on his face.
Du Qi looked at Wang Ji's smile and suddenly said, "Sir Wang, on this trip to the north, I'm afraid you were lying when you said that the Crown Prince was targeting you. Instead, you mentioned that you wanted to reproduce the knowledge of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Nowadays, the Confucian school was the strongest in the world.
Although there were other schools of thought, such as arithmetic, Legalism, Mohism, Agriculture, Taoism, and Novelism, there were few specialized schools of thought that were studied by everyone.
If Wang Ji wanted to openly peddle such knowledge in the academy, it would definitely have a huge impact. It was precisely because of this that Wang Ji made a special trip to Daizhou to ask for Du Qi's opinion.
At the very least, he had to get Du Qi's approval.
With Du Qi's agreement and Du Qi's support, the stable operation of the Academy could be ensured.
Only then could the Academy be protected from the storm.
Wang Ji smiled embarrassedly and said, "Young Master Du's vision is indeed sharp. Nothing can be hidden from you. In fact, that's why I'm here. Some of my good friends have come to me after learning that I'm the Dean of the Academy of the Tang dynasty, hoping that I can teach them the knowledge of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers. I'm a bit hesitant about this matter, so I went north to ask Young Master Du. "
Du Qi said, "Mr. Wang, please make the arrangements. There's no need to consider external influences. In short, I will take full responsibility for this matter. Even if there is external pressure, I will shoulder it. "
"However, I think that this can be built, but there's no need to rush to publicize it. Let's develop in a low-key manner first and build up the various aspects. Only with strength can we be absolutely safe. "
"After all, I'm not in Chang 'an. It's beyond my reach."
Du Qi said, "Even if I can affect the situation in Chang 'an, I'm so far away. You can build the platform first and develop it slowly. It won't be too late to publicize it after I come back. At that time, I'll be able to respond at any time. "
Wang Ji said, "I'll listen to Young Master."
Du Qi said, "It's good that you understand."
After a pause, Du Qi said, "Mr. Wang, is there anything else?"
"No!"
Wang Ji answered with a smile. He seemed very happy.
With Du Qi's words, everything would be done.
Du Qi said, "Mr. Wang, this is your first time in Daizhou. Would you like to stay in Daizhou for a few days and see the changes there?"
"No!"
Wang Ji shook his head decisively.
He didn't want to stay because there were still many things waiting for him in Chang 'an.
Du Qi said, "Okay, since you don't want to stay, let's have lunch together and then go south to return to Chang 'an."
"I won't have lunch either."
Wang Ji shook his head and said, "The Academy's affairs are extremely important and can't be delayed. The earlier I go back, the earlier I can calm the people and let them settle down, so that they won't be in chaos. "
Du Qi shook his head and chuckled.
Wang Ji was like this.
He came in a hurry, left in a hurry, and was about to leave in a hurry.
Du Qi didn't stop him and let him leave. After Wang Ji left, Du Qi called Liu Jian and ordered, "Liu Jian, go outside the mansion and ask Wei Dayong to come here."
Wei Dayong was the general of the imperial army.
Du Qi and Wei Dayong didn't have much contact. However, Du Qi also knew that Wei Dayong would definitely pass on everything that had happened in Daizhou to the court and let the Emperor know.
In other words, Wei Dayong was the Emperor's eyes and ears in Daizhou.
Now, Du Qi needed Wei Dayong.
Liu Jian went to inform Wei Dayong. About half a quarter of an hour later, Wei Dayong entered the study. When Wei Dayong saw Du Qi, he bowed and said, "Young Master Du!"
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "General Wei, sit!"
After Wei Dayong sat down, he shook his head and said, "Young Master Du, I'm not a general. I'm just a small colonel."
Du Qi smiled and said, "You're a little unfamiliar with the way you address me. How about this, I'll call General Wei Brother Wei. After all, you're older than me. If Brother Wei doesn't mind, you can call me Erlang. "
Wei Dayong said, "Young Master Du is too polite."
Du Qi didn't care about how Wei Dayong addressed him. He took the opportunity and said, "Brother Wei, how have you been at Gate of Yan?"
Wei Dayong smiled and said, "Thanks to Young Master Du's care, whether it's me or the brothers under my command, not only can we receive a salary from the imperial court, but also a salary from Young Master Du. You've also arranged a place for us to live."
"It can be said that in Gate of Yan, each and every one of us is living a very comfortable life."
"Although we're Chang 'an's imperial guards and have a lot of face in Chang' an, we can't go to the battlefield and we don't have any missions. We're just patrolling the imperial city."
"Now that we're following Young Master Du, we can eat and drink well, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing. We can earn a lot of money."
Wei Dayong said, "We're relying on Young Master Du's care in Daizhou."
Du Qi said, "Brother Wei, you're too polite. This is what I should do. If it weren't for Brother Wei's help, we might not have been able to gain a foothold in Gate of Yan. "
Wei Dayong said, "Young Master, you're too kind."
Du Qi said, "Brother Wei, I don't like to beat around the bush. If there's something, I'll be direct. The reason why I invited you here is that there's one more thing that I need your help with. "
Wei Dayong said, "Please say it, Young Master Du. As long as it's something I can do, I won't refuse."
Du Qi said, "Just now, Wang Ji, the president of the Tang dynasty Academy in Chang 'an, came to Gate of Yan to complain and ask for help. He said that the Tang dynasty Academy in Chang' an was targeted by the East Palace and many famous teachers and talented children were poached by the East Palace. I hope that Brother Wei can mention this matter when you send the letter back to His Majesty and explain the matter clearly. "
Wei Dayong's expression changed slightly and he quickly said, "Young Master Du, I didn't send any message."
Du Qi said, "Brother Wei, you and I are both smart people. Why do you deceive yourself and others? What's more, how can I not know such a thing? Brother Wei, what do you think? "
Wei Dayong suddenly fell silent.
Du Qi continued, "Brother Wei, what I asked you to do is actually a fact. I didn't lie at all. Now I'm far away in Daizhou, not in Chang 'an. I can't coordinate with the matters in Chang' an. "
"I can only ask you to convey this matter on my behalf."
"For you, you just found out about a matter and mentioned it truthfully in the letter you sent. You didn't take any position or express any attitude. You just told the truth. "
"That's all!"
Du Qi stared at Wei Dayong and said, "Brother, what do you think?"
This matter can't be handled by Qi.
It can only be handled by Wei Dayong.
That's why Du Qi called Wei Dayong and asked him to come forward. When Li Yuan got the news, he would beat Li Jiancheng.
