Chapter 221: Tie people up with profit and regain your confidence!
“He is a rare loyal person.”

“I have something for you to do.”

“My Lord, just give me your orders!”

“Do you know Qin Keqing, the wife of Jia Rong from the East Palace?”

“That prince’s substitute?”

Nun Jingyue thought for a moment and suddenly remembered Qin Keqing’s identity.

In the eyes of the top dignitaries in Shenjing, Qin Keqing is the Princess Yongping, the daughter of the former crown prince.

Only those who follow Miaoyu know.

The other party is just a substitute for Miaoyu.

“Yes, she is of great use to me.”

“You sneak into the East Palace at night and teach her a technique. You can practice in Tianxiang Tower on weekdays.”

“Take good care of her, by the way.”

As Jia Cong spoke, he took out a book on Xuanmen martial arts.

“I obey your command!”

……

“Confucianism! Confucianism!”

After Master Jingyue left, Jia Cong pondered alone in the study.

Since Emperor Wu of Han, all other schools of thought have been abolished and only Confucianism has been respected!

In fact, it absorbs the essence of hundreds of schools of thought, transforms Confucianism into Confucianism and Taoism, and follows the hundreds of schools of thought.

According to historical records, among the Hundred Schools of Thought, there are 189 schools whose traces can be traced and whose classics can be checked, and there are more than academic works.

The legalists, Taoists, Mohists, Yin-Yangists, famous scholars, miscellaneous scholars, agriculturalists, novelists, diplomats, military strategists, and physicians are still well-known today.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

At first, when Jia Cong was looking through historical materials and miscellaneous notes, he was a little confused. How could the Hundred Schools of Thought, which were still in constant conflict in the pre-Qin period, be so easily merged into Confucianism and Taoism?

It was not until later that the incident of White Tiger breaking through the realm of the demon king led to the emergence of Confucian and Taoist rules in the world.

Only now did I realize what a shocking plan the Confucian and Taoist schools were planning.

The previous battle with the Kong family in Shenjing ended with Jia Cong’s victory.

But this fight is far from over.

Among the hundreds of schools of Confucianism and Taoism, Confucius is the first!
Even though this is just a loose alliance formed with a common goal, in fact each is independent of the others.

The influence of the Kong family cannot be ignored either.

The existence of Huici, the Grand Marshal of Yiling Zhaowu Tiangui, only gave Jia Cong the confidence to face the fifth realm.

It is far from enough to completely overthrow the Kong family.

We can’t just kill most of the scholars in the world.

The Kong family, having suffered severe damage, may not take any action in the short term.

But the next time we take action, it will surely be a thunderous strike.

It is not Jia Cong’s character to wait for the other party to attack before counterattacking.

If you want to fight, hit the opponent at the most vulnerable point.

Beat someone so hard that it hurts him or even kills him!

“Sister Bao!”

Thinking of this, Jia Cong had an idea in his mind and called out.

“Cong’er!”

Baochai, who had been hiding in the dark, appeared behind Jia Cong.

“Does the Xue family still have any land in Shenjing?”

“There is another farm with about 200 acres of fertile land, just over 20 miles south of Shenjing City.”

“My father bought it when he was alive. Later, the Xue family evacuated Shenjing, considering that the good farmland in Shenjing is difficult to buy back.”

“It’s also a way of keeping it in my memory, hoping to return to the capital someday, so I didn’t sell it.”

Baochai is Jia Cong’s true housekeeper.

He knew all the forces and property under Jia Cong, and even regarded the Xue family as part of Jia Cong.

“Two hundred acres is enough!”

“Sister Bao, let the ghosts and gods of Daxing County take action!”

“Build me a college outside the city, and call it Dongli College!” “I will be the deputy principal!”

“Spread the news. The academy will hold exams in a month.”

“Recruiting 100 children aged 8 to 12, 100 students under 16, and 100 scholars under 30!”

“Those who have developed a literary spirit before the age of twelve and have entered the second realm before the age of eighteen are exempt from the entrance examination.”

“For all students who enroll, the academy will provide them with food, clothing, accommodation and tuition fees. Every year, they will receive a subsidy of 10, 20 or 50 taels of silver respectively!”

“Also, the list has been published. The academy is looking for great scholars to teach. The monthly salary is 1,000 taels of silver.”

“When you enter the academy, you will be given a great scholar’s treasure. After ten years, you will be given another one. You can choose one of your descendants to enter the academy without taking the entrance exam!”

“The academy has three lectures by great scholars every year, and all teachers and students of the academy are welcome to attend the lectures.”

After pondering for a moment, Jia Cong gave instructions one by one.

Since we can’t overthrow Confucianism, then join it and develop it!
Finally, he replaced the Kong family’s position in Confucianism and Taoism and completely controlled him.

This series of conditions will undoubtedly be enough to buy a horse with a lot of money.

As long as you can be admitted to the college, not only will your tuition be waived, but you will also receive a large amount of silver subsidies.

For a great scholar, the monthly salary is one thousand taels of silver, which is twelve thousand taels a year!

This is not a small number.

But compared to Jia Cong’s annual income, it is a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention anything else, the profits brought by the Yangzhou salt merchants alone amounted to tens of millions of taels every year.

Not to mention the two major protectorates of Andong and North and South.

Even if a scholar has a wealthy family and has no shortage of ten thousand taels of silver every year, he still has to think about his descendants.

An ordinary great scholar can only produce two or three great cultural treasures for future generations in his lifetime.

But if you teach at Jia Cong Academy for ten years, you can get two more.

If the family is in crisis in the future, having two more cultural relics from great scholars might be able to reverse the situation.

You can also choose a descendant to study in the academy and continue the relationship with Jia Cong.

For an old scholar who is nearing the end of his life, it is a fatal attraction.

Although this type of Confucian scholar seems to have declined in combat effectiveness, in fact, his understanding of the essence of various schools of thought is even better than that of Confucian scholars in their prime.

Jia Cong didn’t need them to fight, so it was perfect for them to teach and educate.

With such teaching staff, the development of the academy will be like a snowball, growing day by day.

In just a few years, the former splendor of the White Deer Academy could be restored, and a Confucian and Taoist holy land belonging to Jia Cong alone could be created in the Shenjing City.

“Cong’er, are you planning to let His Majesty take the position of the head of the mountain?”

Baochai was so smart that she guessed what Jia Cong was thinking just by listening to what he said.

“Your Majesty ascended the throne directly as a prince, and has never experienced the period of being a crown prince, so you don’t have many confidants under your command.”

“For your majesty, the Confucian way of life upholds two of the three elements: Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents, and Teachers. If you have two of them, you will not have to worry about having no one to use in the future.”

“For us, when students graduate from the academy, they will be called disciples of the emperor and have a bright future.”

“Don’t the talented students in the world dream of going to Dongli Academy?”

“Cong’er, I am worried that if His Majesty’s reputation overshadows ours, will it affect our interests?”

Baochai frowned slightly and expressed her concerns.

“That’s all right, Sister Bao. Have you forgotten what I said about the three times a year when the great scholar gives lectures?”

“Eli binds people, Yangwang collects his heart!”

“It takes time to cultivate people’s prestige!”

As Jia Cong spoke, the literary energy evolved from divine power appeared faintly in his hands.

Although the literary spirit is evolved from divine power, it is false.

However, the Confucian and Taoist knowledge that Jia Cong had accumulated from his extensive reading was in no way inferior to that of ordinary scholars.

He also had a deep understanding of the various barriers and obstacles that a great scholar would encounter in order to become a great scholar.

“Confucianism and Taoism have flourished for so many years, and the various schools of thought have never changed.”

“It’s time to add a new subject!”

“Okay, Cong’er, I’ll do it right away!”

After being enlightened by Jia Cong, Baochai suddenly understood, and her beautiful eyes became brighter.
