Although Jiang Chen was moved, he forcibly restrained his desire, nodded lightly to the four beauties in kimonos and said: "There is no need to be polite. Da Na Yan should talk about business first."

"Haha, okay, let's talk about business first."

When Fangmen Xinqing saw that Jiang Chen was not moved by the beauty, he couldn't help but have a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and said with a smile:

"Master Jiang, last time I said that I would send a hundred foreign students to Song Dynasty to study Confucianism. I wonder how you think about it?"

"The Great Nayan has convinced the officials and the Lords of the Privy Council, so why should I not agree?"

Jiang Chen had a smile on his face, but just when Fangmen Xinqing showed joy, he suddenly changed the topic:

"However, Neo-Confucianism is a science taught by God. It is extremely mysterious and complicated. If you don't have a good foundation in Chinese, you will not be able to understand it at all.

In order not to ruin the reputation of Neo-Confucianism, and to allow students from your country to succeed in their studies without causing unnecessary misunderstandings, I need to strictly control and set up an entrance examination. Only those who pass the exam are eligible to study Neo-Confucianism."

"Entrance exam?"

Could he be looking for excuses to refuse on purpose?

Fangmen Xinqing frowned and asked: "I wonder what content is involved in this entrance examination? What are the passing standards?"

“Simple, if you can communicate in normal language and write a 500-word article without typos on the spot, you will be considered to have passed the written test.

As for the interview, in addition to having a good character and no bad habits or notoriety, you also need to have a certain understanding of the laws of the Song Dynasty. This can also prevent students from your country from violating the laws in ignorance and causing each other's displeasure!"

As Jiang Chen spoke, he asked with a smile: "Is this request reasonable?"

Uh--

"It's reasonable and reasonable, but if you ask them to write a long article without typos, I'm afraid many people can't do it?"

Fangmen Xinqing looked embarrassed and said in a consultative tone: "Mr. Jiang, what do you think about this? Let them come here to learn Chinese for a few months. After meeting your requirements, how about they officially enter Limen Academy to study?

?”

While talking, Fangmen Xinqing took out a small box from his arms, opened it and handed it to Jiang Chen, saying: "This is a bead chain made of seven or forty-nine roller beads. I gave it to Mrs. Jiang specially.

, I hope Mr. Jiang won’t dislike it.”

Jiang Chen did not accept the priceless pearl necklace. After a brief hesitation, he said, "Since Da Nayan is sincere in his pursuit of learning, I can provide you with two plans for your reference."

"Master Jiang, please speak."

Fangmen Xinqing looked forward to it.

Although his king, Minamoto Yoritomo, was ambitious and intended to revitalize the country, he was too radical and killed the former Heian nobles into rivers of blood. Many big families were even wiped out outright.

This resulted in the Kamakura shogunate being very powerful with the support of bushido spiritual beliefs, but without the support of the middle and upper classes, it was short of food and money.

Therefore, the fundamental purpose of Minamoto Yoritomo sending him here was to steal Yuqing Villa and the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and to obtain the secret recipe for getting rich. He also vowed to issue a military order, but he did not dare to make any mistakes.

Jiang Chen naturally knew the purpose of Fangmen Xinqing's visit, but he also knew that knowledge could not be kept secret.

So he raised two fingers and said: "First, I can open a Li Men branch in your country to teach Li Men vernacular, simplified Chinese characters, and basic Li Men courses. Those with excellent academic performance can be directly recommended to our Li Men to study abroad.

.”

"This is a good thing! What about the second one?"

Fangmen Xinqing's face was full of joy and he asked with a smile.

"The second is that for some students who cannot meet the recommendation and admission requirements, they can obtain the status of self-financing students by donating to the construction of Limen College and come to study. Of course, the tuition fee is more expensive.

After all, the Li sect is newly built and the teaching staff is limited. If we accept one more of your students, our Song Dynasty will have one less scholar! I hope Da Nayan can understand!"

Jiang Chen directly copied the routine from Beautiful Country.

"Investment? Tuition?"

I understand you shit!

Fangmen Xinqing was stunned and said with reluctance: "Mr. Jiang, many students from our country went to Taixue to study in the past. Not only were the tuition fees free, there were huge subsidies in summer and winter every year, and Confucianism also provided food for everyone.

He hired several beautiful maids to accompany them, teach them Chinese, and take care of their food and daily life.

What's wrong with your management? Why do you still need to charge money?"

"Since Da Nayan likes Confucianism so much, then he should go and study Confucianism!"

Jiang Chen picked up the tea cup with an annoyed look on his face, he really wanted to burn books and humiliate scholars again.

"Lord Jiang, please calm down. I didn't mean that."

When Fangmen Xinqing saw that Jiang Chen was about to see off the guests, he hurriedly smiled apologetically and asked with a grimace: "Master Jiang, I wonder how much donation is needed? How much is the tuition fee?"

Jiang Chen put down his tea cup and said: "Those who pass the assessment will be exempted from donation. The tuition fee is twenty taels a month, and I will give you ten places every year.

As for self-financing students, the donation amount must not be less than 3,000 taels, and the tuition fee is 50 taels per month, calculated as ten months per year."

"Ah? Wouldn't it cost three hundred thousand taels of silver for one hundred students? Not counting tuition fees?"

Baga! Are you trying to steal money?

Fangmen Xinqing immediately became angry and turned livid, shouting: "Master Jiang, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?

Our country came here to study because it was short of money and military pay. You want students to go back and enrich the country and strengthen the people. You are really... really unfriendly!

Prime Minister Cai and Duke Yan Sheng have both agreed to this matter, are you trying to disobey them and destroy our diplomatic relations?"

"It's not their turn to decide on the affairs of the family, I have the final say! As for destroying diplomatic relations?"

"hehe!"

Jiang Chen looked at Fangmen Xinqing with amusement: "Although your king is talented and mighty, he has killed too many people. Now he is facing the embarrassing situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides and being betrayed by his relatives. Could it be that he still wants to embarrass me, the Song Dynasty?"

"you……"

Fangmen Xinqing glared at Jiang Chen angrily, and after a long time he sighed helplessly: "Master Jiang, since you are familiar with the current situation of our country, you should understand that our country's leader will never agree to spend so much money to study.

.Why bother me?"

"You Japan is rich in silver, how can you have no money? It's just that the money is not in the hands of your king, but in the hands of the nobles.

If you are willing, you can ask your country's leader to join the patent bill and cooperate with the Royal Chamber of Commerce to open several branches in Japan.

With the immortal drunk, soap, perfume and other items, are you still worried that you will not be able to earn ten times or a hundred times the money from the old nobles of the Heian Dynasty?"

Jiang Chen encouraged Fangmen Xinqing with a smile on his face.

Now that the banknotes have been made, he did not donate them immediately, but was waiting for the right time.

If he could rent a site in Japan to open a chamber of commerce, he could continuously exchange banknotes for silver.
