Tang Hao stared: "why did Fang Xiang say this? A few days ago, the lower official was confused and became crazy. Who in Chang''an city didn''t know who? That''s why he was able to compete with the country for land. Your majesty is generous and doesn''t care about it. It''s already a great grace. Now he''s clear and bright. How can he do this disobedient thing?"


    "It''s absolutely forbidden. Only your majesty can have xirang, a sacred object. Once others have it, the lower official''s opinion is that there is no amnesty."


    The attitude of the general of Zhenguo suddenly made a big turn.


    The four entered the Academy with a smile. Li Zhi looked around and said, "I haven''t been to the Academy for a long time. It has changed a lot. Every time I come, there are new scenes. I can''t imagine how spectacular the Academy will be ten years later."


    "When you drew a picture, everyone thought it was a fool''s dream. It has only been a few years, and a lot of things on the painting volume have been displayed in front of you. Sure enough, all the difficulties in the world have been broken."


    Hearing what Emperor Li Zhi said, Tang Hao thought, this is a good opportunity for special reporting. It''s really unreasonable for the prime minister and Finance Minister not to cry for poverty at this time.


    "Your Majesty, what you see is only the surface scenery. Do you know that there are huge buildings to be constructed in this underground area? Look at the deep pit over there. It was excavated for the construction of the basement. Many studies of the academy need to be responsible to the state, and a strict research environment can not be less. Why did Li Dan dig a pit under the Wude hall? To put it bluntly, it is for the sake of safety Second, it is also to prepare for confidentiality. "


    Tang Hao said: "for example, the people who study iron and steel in the academy have developed a new steel-making method, but in order to keep it secret, Wei Chen had to lock the file and place the cabinet in the forest. Only when the construction of the Academy reaches a certain level can a new steel-making furnace be built."


    "Now it can''t be taken out on a large scale. There are hundreds of harm but no benefit." the words of the general of the town came out, and the eldest sun Wuji''s face suddenly changed.


    The foundation of the changsun family is steel smelting. Now I hear that the academy has a new method. How can I not be surprised? Li Zhi took a strange look at Tang Hao. Fang Xuanling was also smiling bitterly. Eldest sun Wuji said very directly: "general Tang, make a price. As long as my humble house can afford it, there must be nothing wrong."


    Tang Hao waited a little. Seeing that the emperor was also waiting for his offer, he knew that the grace of the eldest Sun family was endless. Then he smiled and said, "Mr. Chang sun, you''re right. The Chang Sun family really can''t afford it."


    The emperor''s eyes lit up. Fang Xuanling turned his head and looked elsewhere, as if he were enjoying the scenery. The eldest sun Wuji said with a black face, "but I don''t know the asking price of general Tang, so that my eldest Sun family can''t afford it?"


    "Not much. Twelve thousand is enough."


    "Tang Hao, don''t hide and choke. Say anything. I also want to know why the eldest Sun family can''t afford the money?"


    It''s just ten thousand. This price immediately stunned changsun Wuji. This is not a big outrageous number. If, as Zhenguo general said, this process plays a great role in promoting steel production, the asking price is not much.


    "If the eldest Sun family really wants this file, there''s no problem. I''ll agree to 8000 Guan, but please allow me to explain that this is the research result six months ago." Zhenguo general answered truthfully.


    "So what? Can''t the method six months ago be used now?"


    "It can be used naturally. There is no problem at all, but last month they developed another method, which is even better than that. The middle school academy charges 30000 yuan, and not a penny can be less." this is Tang Hao''s real idea.


    Fang Xuanling understood at once: "I understand, Tang Hao, you mean that the Academy will study these knowledge endlessly in the future. In the process of research, it will constantly improve the process of smelting steel. Every time there is an improvement, the eldest Sun family will pay money, and it will be more and more expensive."


    In this way, the changsun family really can''t afford it. The changsun Wuji looks blue. What he said is right. Whether it''s 8000 Guan or 30000 Guan, it doesn''t take much effort for the changsun family to take it out.


    However, once they buy it endlessly, no matter how rich Ren changsun''s family is, they will be hollowed out, and it won''t work if they don''t buy it. Once a more clever way falls into the hands of others, the iron smelting industry of the changsun''s family will be destroyed.


    In the face of such technological advantages, the changsun family has no power to fight back. Can it be said that the changsun family has to be led by the Academy for generations? The emperor once again felt his wise and divine power. How far sighted it was to agree to establish an academy in Yuhua mountain.


    It seems that it''s not a good thing for the changsun family to control the iron smelting industry. Now it seems that it''s just the same. The royal court has iron smelting workshops. Once the changsun family wants to do something, they can eat the changsun family as soon as they increase investment in the two iron smelting workshops and change the technology.


    Li Zhi''s thinking is distributed. He immediately thought of other industries from smelting iron, such as cooking salt, weaving cloth, weaving wool, imitating silk, raising cattle and sheep and farming.... As long as the imperial court increases its research investment in academies, it will strangle all the economic lifelines from the source.
