Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 599 Li Er Wants to Exempt the Board and Lodging Fees of Royal Academy Students

With so many students enrolled in the Royal Academy, the amount of money that needs to be consumed is an astronomical sum!
So after Li Er dealt with the problem of the number of students in the Royal Academy, he immediately started to solve the problem of the Royal Academy's expenses!

At present, the students of Datang Guozijian and Hongwenguan are basically enrolled at their own expense!

Poor families do not have the money to support their children to study in Chang'an City.

Li Er felt that the household department was rich now, so the tuition and board and lodging fees of these students in the Royal Academy should be exempted!

But this needs the support of the Ministry of Finance!
The household department is in charge of the tax revenue of Datang, and the expenditures of the three provinces and six departments are all allocated from the household department.

Li Er needs the support of Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, today!
Li Er then pointed at Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and asked: "Liu Zhenghui, how much does your Ministry of Revenue plan to advance to the Royal Academy in a year?"

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household Affairs currently allocates [-] guan to the Imperial Academy every year, and I feel that [-] guan to the Royal Academy is enough to support teaching expenses!"

The expenses of Guozijian basically come from the consumption of teaching supplies such as rice paper and brushes.

The salary of a great Confucianist teaching in Guozijian is issued by the Ministry of Households, so this thousand does not include the teacher's salary!

Guozijian students basically lived in rented houses outside Chang'an City, so their board and lodging expenses did not need to be paid by Guozijian.

Therefore, the Ministry of Households allocates [-] yuan to the Guozijian every year, which is completely enough!

But the Royal Academy has ten teaching buildings alone, and each teaching building can accommodate [-] students!

Liu Zhenghui was only willing to allocate [-] yuan to the Royal Academy, which caused Li Er's dissatisfaction!

But Liu Zhenghui was just discussing the facts, and Li Er couldn't punish him for this!

Yu Chihuan also felt that Liu Zhenghui was too stingy. For a school as big as the Royal Academy, the expenditure is only a few thousand per year, so it can't be maintained at all!
Li Er frowned and said, "Liu Zhenghui, if the Royal Academy exempts all students from tuition, board and lodging fees, how much will the imperial court spend each year?"

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, this must not be done, otherwise the Household Department will not be able to support the consumption of the Royal Academy!"

Li Er said displeased: "Liu Zhenghui, I am the dean of the Royal Academy, can't I waive the students' board and lodging expenses?"

Liu Zhenghui immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the cost of a Guozijian student in Chang'an City is at least ten yuan a year, and the tens of thousands of students in the Royal Academy will cost even more!"

Li Er immediately retreated, and he frowned, "Liu Zhenghui, are you trying to scare me by saying that?"

The Shaofu's annual income has been more than one million yuan recently.

So Li Er felt that he was rich and powerful, and decided to waive the tuition and board and lodging fees of the students of the Royal Academy!
Li Er originally thought that the annual cost of the Royal Academy was only tens of thousands of guan!

Now after listening to what Liu Zhenghui said, Li Er was frightened.

Liu Zhenghui shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not trying to scare you. The annual expenditure of Guozijian students in Chang'an City is no less than ten guan yuan!"

Li Er stared at Fang Xuanling, and asked: "Fang Xuanling, come and tell me, has Liu Zhenghui deceived me?"

Fang Xuanling raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Zhenghui didn't lie to you. Unless the students of Guozijian are locals, the rent for them alone will not be less than five pennies per year, plus the cost of buying books and pens. It must be more than ten pennies!"

"Ah...it turns out that the students of the Imperial College are so expensive to study in Chang'an City!"

Li Er was dumbfounded, and he was also frightened.

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Your Majesty, that's why there are so many children from aristocratic families in the Tang imperial examination every year!"

Li Er nodded in approval and said: "What Fang Xuanling said is true, so I decided to exempt the students of the Royal Academy from tuition fees, board and lodging fees!"

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the Royal Academy is located in Shanglinyuan. If the students' board and lodging are all in the school, what they consume every day is only food and books. A student will definitely not spend five pennies a year!"

Li Erlong Yan Dayue said: "Liu Zhenghui, how much do you think the Ministry of Households should give to the Royal Academy every year?"

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the current annual tax revenue of the Ministry of Accounting is 350 million guan. There is only a tax balance of 200 per year!"

Li Er was surprised and said, "Liu Zhenghui, how much tax is left in the household department?"

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Accounts currently has a balance of one million guan in taxes!"

Liu Zhenghui answered Li Er without hesitation.

Li Er shook his head in disappointment and said: "So, the Household Department is poorer than my Shaofu!"

Liu Zhenghui was speechless and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household Affairs needs to allocate funds every year to relieve victims of disasters in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, so there are only so many taxes left over the years!"

Li Er smiled and said, "Liu Zhenghui, how much do you think the Ministry of Households allocates to the Royal Academy every year is appropriate?"

Liu Zhenghui thought for a while, and said seriously, "Your Majesty, there are many places in the Tang Dynasty that need to allocate funds every year. The Ministry of Households can only give the Royal Academy [-] yuan a year. No more!"

Li Er was still dissatisfied with Liu Zhenghui's answer, because Ten Wanguan would definitely not be able to support the board, lodging and tuition fees of the students of the Royal Academy!

Fang Xuanling said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the fee allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Royal Academy is ten times that of the Imperial Academy. He has tried his best. Please forgive me!"

"Forget it, [-] guan is [-] guan, I will pay for the overspend of the Royal Academy!"

Li Er sighed, and in the end he didn't force Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

If Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is granted an amnesty, he will immediately flatter Li Erliu.

"Your Majesty, I can get [-] dividends in the Shaofu every year, and I am willing to donate these dividends to the Royal Academy!"

Yu Chihuan then stood up and said generously!

The dividends that the Shaofu gives to Yuchihuan every year are currently kept with Princess Changshan.

Now the bank of Changle Palace has stored 40 guan.

If it continues, Yu Chihuan is worried that he will have more money than Li Er.

Although Li Er gets millions of dollars in income from the Shaofu every year, he also spends a lot, so saving money is definitely not as good as Captain Chihuan!
Yu Chihuan felt that the money was too hot, so let's donate it!

The most important thing is that Yuchihuan is a traverser and has a system, he is not interested in money!
To Yuchihuan, money is nothing more than a possession outside of him!

So Yu Chihuan decided to donate the Shaofu dividend to the Royal Academy to support those students to study!

When all civil and military officials heard what Yu Chihuan said, they were all shocked and speechless!

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, grinned happily and said, "I never thought that Yu Chihuan would come out today and be taken advantage of by this!"

The living officer Yan Sigu also looked at Yuchihuan with admiration.

Changsun Wuji originally had resentment towards Yu Chihuan, but now his resentment has dissipated.

Fang Xuanling had a teachable expression, he felt that what Yu Chihuan did was beneficial and harmless!

Because Yuchi Huan has made too much money recently, this is not necessarily a good thing!
