With the arrival of the morning court, the ministers entered the court one after another and prepared to discuss matters.
In today's morning court, everyone can see that the face of the current Holy Emperor is very beautiful.
After all, Your Majesty has been preparing for this imperial examination for a long time.
It has been officially implemented today, and the response after the implementation has been very good.
As a result, so many talents have been selected through the imperial examination, and these talents are much more reliable than those selected through recommendation.
So it is reasonable for His Majesty to be so happy.
The ministers below were talking about some things one after another. After Li Er listened, he immediately arranged the order.
After the ministers finished speaking one by one, they glanced at everyone, and Li Er asked.
"Everyone, is there anything else?"
After taking a look at everyone, after asking, and seeing that no one spoke, Li Er waved his hand and was about to send someone to prepare to withdraw from the court.
At this time, the clan members stood up and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I have something that I don't understand. I would like your Majesty to make it clear."
"If you have something to do, it's okay to say it."
“Your Majesty’s ministers heard that your Majesty used money from the treasury to build a Datang Academy in Lantian County.
Candidates who failed the imperial examination can study at Datang College in Lantian County for two years.
Moreover, the study, food and drink for the past two years were all funded by the imperial court. I wonder if this is the case for Your Majesty?
"Ah, this?"
When the first person mentioned this, the other ministers began to murmur in low voices.
It's just that it's a little inappropriate to do this.
Yes, yes, who says it's not? If things are done this way, it's not reasonable.
Your Majesty will use the money from the Tang Dynasty treasury to send those students to study.
For a time, all the ministers were talking, and everyone said that what your Majesty did this time was wrong, very wrong.
In everyone's mind, learning is their own business. How can there be any reason for the court to pay them to learn?
Yes, yes, yes.
For a time, people started discussing this matter.
It is nonsense for Your Majesty to spend money from the national treasury to ask those students to study.
Learning this matter is entirely your own business. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, the money from the national treasury will be used to provide relief to the victims.
Or this time we launch a foreign war, we need to prepare materials, and everyone expresses support.
But using money from the state treasury to ask children from ordinary people's families to study is neither reasonable nor reasonable.
Your Majesty, how can the treasury's money be wasted like this?
Therefore, regarding the matter of Datang College in Lantian County, I hope that Your Majesty can reconsider it from the beginning.
Li Er laughed when he heard what they said.
Li Er had already been very sure of what they would say.
And what they said out loud was completely expected for him.
The reason why they don’t want to do this is because it affects their interests?
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that Master Cui's words are very reasonable.
If the money from the treasury is used to relieve the victims, including launching the war against the Turks, purchasing grain and grass supplies, and making various preparations.
I think it's natural.
After all, if it is to provide relief to the victims, or to engage in foreign wars or conquer foreign races, no matter how big or small, it is taken from the people and used by the people.
However, the people's taxes are used to only support the consumption of some people. Not to mention us, even the people in the world are not convinced.
If the people of the world were to know about this use of paying taxes, how would they view my court?
The adult who said this is not a member of the clan, he simply thinks it is not good to do so.
Just use tax money to build a college and ask people to study.
If it is really fair, all the people of the Tang Dynasty who have paid taxes should be able to study.
If our court is truly fair and just, I hope your majesty will continue to expand the school.
In this way, all students in the world who want to study can come to the school for free.
In this way, it is fair and just.
As the saying goes, poverty cannot be equalized. The implementation of any policy must also consider the impact of the implementation of this policy.
Now the impact is very bad.
I heard the ministers below muttering and muttering.
Li Er didn't say anything, but smiled slightly.
"My dear friends, I think the things you said are very reasonable.
Regarding the preparation of this school, if the state treasury funds it, it would be unfair to the people of the Tang Dynasty."
When everyone heard what His Majesty said, they nodded secretly, as long as Your Majesty knew the truth behind it.
As for the Lantian County Academy, let’s leave it at that.
"But everyone, I also know what you mean.
In the final analysis, it’s nothing more than hope. It’s okay to build a college, but you can’t pay for it from the national treasury, right?”
This time, Li Er didn't care about everyone's face and said these words directly.
After hearing what His Majesty said, the ministers below remained silent, indicating their acquiescence.
Where did the money come from? Who provided the money has nothing to do with them.
But this money cannot be spent in the national treasury.
Because if it is spent in the national treasury, the money from the national treasury is the tax revenue of the country. If the money is used for student training and learning, it will definitely enable the children of the common people to learn well.
If you do that, it will directly affect their interests, and no matter what, everyone will not agree.
Seeing their appearance, Li Er sneered in his heart.
How could I not know what they were thinking about Xiao Jiujiu?
"Where are the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
"His Majesty."
"Concerning the preparation of this Lantian County College, have I allocated money from the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
The household official was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"Of course I know that regarding the construction of the college, allocating money from the national treasury is neither reasonable nor reasonable.
So this time the construction of the academy was funded by me.
Ladies and gentlemen, the money I took out of my own pocket did not contribute to the national treasury.
You must have no objections to this, dear sirs, right?"
Let me join in?
Everyone was shocked when they heard what His Majesty said. How could this be done?
Logically speaking, the Ministry of Revenue controls the treasury and has its own people.
If there are any movements in the court, they can be reported immediately.
In other words, this investment is really not in the national treasury. When did His Majesty become so rich?
Seeing the stunned looks on their faces, Li Er snorted coldly in his heart again.
You guys, can’t I kill you?
Be stunned.
He raised his head again and glanced at all of them.
"Everyone, there shouldn't be any problem if I do this, right?"
Li Er glanced at everyone with his disdainful eyes, and wanted to laugh in his heart, but he still endured it.
When His Majesty said this unexpectedly, the clan members and other ministers stood aside blankly.
I couldn't help but uttered another curse word in my heart.
