Chapter 126: Creation of the World, Tongtian Academy (two in one)

"Opening a college?"

Emperor Qing, who had been smiling and nodding, suddenly became serious in expression and tone.

Because of the changes in his expression and tone, the entire hall was filled with a huge pressure.

This is different from the pressure that Fan Bin brings to everyone.

This is something only emperors experience, the kind of class pressure that is deeply rooted because of their different positions.

No one in the court spoke.

Even the sound of their breathing became much lighter.

Emperor Qing turned his gaze towards Fan Bin, his eyes stern and scrutinizing.

Fan Xian, who was hiding behind the crowd, didn't really feel it until this moment. It turned out that the Emperor Qing, who had always been very kind to him, was not the only one he saw.

Emperor Qing has another side.

Just like now, Emperor Qing is showing his side as an emperor.

As the king of Daqing.

Although he was very concerned about Fan Bin's strength...

Although he really wanted to win over Fan Bin.

However, Emperor Qing must still eliminate anything that endangers Daqing’s rule.

This is not just the will of Emperor Qing himself.

This is the will of their entire royal family, or even the entire Daqing.

Even though Fan Bin was a grandmaster, he seemed to have no advantage when facing such a strong will.

"Is it going to get ugly?"

Everyone in the hall could feel it.

Not to mention Fan Xian.

Before this audience, Fan Xian specifically asked Fan Bin.

Fan Bin's answer to him was, "As a grandmaster family, if we don't advance, we will retreat. We can either choose to be like the Ye family and submit to the royal family. Or we can fight to the end!"

Obviously, Fan Bin chose the latter.

He is unwilling to compromise and has his own things to do.

No matter whether Emperor Qing is willing or not?
He has to do it.

At worst, both sides will be destroyed.

Fan Bin was also very sure that Emperor Qing would not accept a result in which both sides would be destroyed.

Therefore, for the Fan family, the worst outcome would be to leave Daqing.

"Lord Fan, do you want to set up an independent academy in Danzhou?"

"Academy!"

Fan Bin did not avoid it.

"Preaching the world?"

"Preaching the world!"

"I wonder who the students taught by your academy serve?"

Emperor Qing asked this question directly.

He also exudes the aura of never backing down.

If Fan Bin really had selfish motives and wanted to create a force that could influence the court.

Then Emperor Qing would never agree to it no matter what.

"Of course I'm working for Daqing!"

Fan Bin replied with certainty: "Just now, wasn't Lord Hu worried that the warriors had no restraint? I also think that Lord Hu's worry is not unreasonable."

The expression on Fan Bin's face was extremely frank.

"There are two reasons why warriors are not restrained. On the one hand, it is because they are too strong and there is no force to suppress them. On the other hand, they have not been taught. We don't know how to use their strength in the right way. What I want to build is such an academy. To teach and restrain those warriors, so that they can understand how to use their strength while strengthening their strength. When they graduate, they will naturally become the pillars of our Daqing. At that time, no matter which department of Qing wants them, they can recruit them to work."

As soon as Fan Bin finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly realized what was going on.

Did they finally understand what Fan Bin’s purpose was?

Although Fan Bin did not intend to rebel, he obviously would not be willing to be lonely.

This person is different from Ye Liuyun.

One of the reasons why Ye Liuyun was able to escape from the martial arts world was because he was indeed at odds with Emperor Qing.

On the other hand, it is also because of Ye Liuyun’s own personality.

He likes the life of traveling around the world.

Fan Bin obviously does not have such a hobby. Although this Daqing God of War cannot directly take power, he still finds ways to interfere in Daqing.

Although Fan Bin said it nicely.

But in fact, students who graduated from Fan Bin’s college will inevitably be related to him.

It may not be noticeable in a short period of time, but it will become noticeable over time.

Fan Bin’s school can be found among all the civil and military officials in the court.

Even if Fan Bin did not form cliques, his influence would still be crucial.

This is still the normal situation.

If Fan Bin really has some ulterior motives, the academy under his control might be more dangerous than the entire Danzhou.

"well!!!"

Emperor Qing said two good words in succession.

What the ministers could figure out, it was natural that Emperor Qing could not fail to think of.

But everyone couldn't see clearly what Emperor Qing was planning.

The only thing everyone could see was that Emperor Qing seemed to appreciate Fan Bin's proposal very much.

"Lord Fan is worthy of being a pillar of Daqing. His words really awakened me. We must build this academy, but I think we need to think carefully about the name of this academy."

After saying this, Emperor Qing paused deliberately.

He’s giving people a chance.

Even an ordinary minister would not be able to understand what was in his mind for a while?

Prime Minister Lin Ruofu must be able to guess what Emperor Qing is thinking.
But it was beyond Emperor Qing's expectations.

Lin Ruofu stood there calmly, with no intention of speaking at all.

Before, he would have argued with Fan Bin for the sake of the reputation of the literati.

At this moment, if you want him to speak, you will offend his future in-laws and one of the rare grand masters in the world.

Unless Lin Ruofu was out of his mind, he would not be the first to do so.

"I think it can be named the Royal College. Or the Daqing Royal College!"

There was a sound of a wheelchair rolling.

Chen Pingping was the first to stand up and make suggestions to Emperor Qing.

If this college must be built.

Emperor Qing and the royal family will certainly not be able to stand idly by.

As the dean, Fan Bin's influence on students is self-evident.

But if, this academy can be crowned with the word royal.

Then the influence of the royal family on the students of the college is not necessarily much worse than that of Dean Fan Bin.

This is a balance and also a backup plan for them to stay.

Although both sides have no intention of breaking up.

But you may not have this plan, but you have to prepare in advance.

Otherwise, it will be too late to cry.

"Lord Chen's suggestion is good. What do you think, Lord Fan?"

I have to say that Laochen is still useful.

Especially for an old minister like Chen Pingping, nothing he did made Emperor Qing feel dissatisfied.

Emperor Qing asked Fan Bin.

"Mr. Chen is right. I also suggest that we should set up the academy in Kyoto."

A wisecracking minister spoke next.

His idea is indeed brilliant.

Tampering with the name is like taking advantage of the right time.

If the location of the academy could eventually be chosen in Kyoto, it would mean that they would have a geographical advantage.

With the right time and place, even if Fan Bin is the president of the college, his influence on the school will still be limited.

Besides, Kyoto is full of smart people.

With them guarding Kyoto, we can think of ways to recruit new students.

Fan Bin's hard work may end up being in vain.

But as soon as the minister finished speaking, Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing narrowed their eyes at the same time.

Although the minister had a good idea, he overlooked a very important point.

Why didn't Emperor Qing act arbitrarily and give orders directly?

To put it bluntly, isn't it because our strength doesn't allow it?
Although the entire Daqing stands behind Emperor Qing, in the contest at the grandmaster level, the weight of the entire Daqing is not that important.

So in fact, Emperor Qing and Fan Bin were negotiating on an equal footing.

After Fan Bin’s proposal came out.

Emperor Qing had to give face to Fan Bin, so he could only agree.

But at the same time, Emperor Qing can also make some requests.

For example, what Chen Pingping proposed, hanging the word "Royal" in front of the college.

As long as Fan Bin doesn't want to fall out, he can't erase the influence of these two words.

Emperor Qing’s goal was achieved.

As long as the seeds are planted in the hearts of those students, all they have to do next is wait for the right time for the seeds to take root, sprout, bloom and bear fruit.

Although Fan Bin’s influence cannot be completely eliminated.

But it can definitely greatly curb Fan Bin and prevent him from completely controlling the entire academy.

But now, someone has mentioned one more thing.

Then the result would be completely different, which is equivalent to them taking one more step.

Fan Bin could naturally take a step forward as well.

"It's not a bad idea to stay in Kyoto."

Fan Bin first agreed to the censor's request.

If the academy stayed in Kyoto, it would inevitably be subject to numerous restrictions.

Fan Bin gave in.

But the reason he made concessions was not entirely out of exchange of interests.

The main reason is that Fan Bin also feels that it is more convenient for the college to stay in Kyoto.

After all, Danzhou is too remote.

If we really build an academy there, there won’t be many talented people that can be recruited.

This is a reality that cannot be avoided.

Kyoto is different. Whether in terms of population or economy, it cannot be compared with the small Danzhou.

If the college has already developed and become famous by then.

That doesn't matter.

All the martial arts fanatics in the world will not miss the opportunity to enter the academy.

But now, the college is unknown.

Where it is established will directly affect the construction speed of the college.

Overall, the advantages of choosing Kyoto outweigh the disadvantages.

Moreover, Fan Bin also felt that this choice would be more easily accepted by Emperor Qing and the ministers.

They are not fools, they can naturally see the various impacts brought by the academy.

In this way, it would be very different for them if the college was in Danzhou or in Kyoto.

All the civil and military officials in the court felt comforted that Fan Bin could agree to this.

At the same time, some people with keen intuition widened their eyes in surprise.

They made two requests in total.

Fan Bin directly avoided the first one and chose to agree to the second one.

what does this mean?
You should know that Emperor Qing did not agree with Chen Pingping's proposal.

But everyone could see that their Majesty was moved.

When Fan Bin said this at this time, does it mean that.

He had no intention of agreeing to the first proposal.

This is such a big problem!
It was so big that even those shrewd civil and military officials were unable to react.

The word "royal" represents so many things.

"As for the name of the academy, although the word 'Royal' is impressive enough, I feel that it is not enough! Daqing represents not only Daqing, but also the entire world in the future. So I think that this academy should be called Tongtian Academy. If Your Majesty is willing to condescend to help the academy come up with a name, I believe that the thousands of students in the future will surely share His Majesty's grace."

Fan Bin actually said it so openly?

All civil and military officials in the court returned to their previous state.

They didn't even dare to breathe.

He was afraid that he would accidentally anger Emperor Qing.

Although Fan Bin spoke tactfully, no one present was a fool.

If you want to know a person, you should not listen to what he says, but watch what he does.

Even if Fan Bin said something fantastic.

He rejected Chen Pingping and indirectly rejected His Majesty.

This is a fact.

Moreover, this was not a private refusal, but an open refusal in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.

It was not the first time that all the civil and military officials in the court realized that Fan Bin was different from before.

But this time, they still felt different.

It was not until this time that they truly realized that Fan Bin could have an equal dialogue with Emperor Qing!
Although the Grand Master is equivalent to the emperor of a great country.

This is the consensus of everyone in the world!
To a certain extent, the authority of the Grand Master is even above that of the dynasty.

But there is still a big gap between that perception and what they saw with their own eyes.

Especially in Daqing, everyone felt that the emperor's authority was even higher than that of the grand master.

It was not until this time that they realized that not all grand masters were as cowardly as Ye Liuyun.

The Grand Master can definitely compete with Emperor Qing.

Even behind Emperor Qing, there is a grandmaster backing him up.

Others can do the same.

"Okay, let's call it Tongtian Academy! Humanity is everything. This is what the sons of Daqing should pursue. The location will be on a mountain in the northern suburbs of Kyoto. I will have the Ministry of Works send people to build it. The blueprints will be reviewed by Minister Fan first. The money for construction will be allocated from the Ministry of Revenue..."

Fan Jian was unhappy when he heard what Emperor Qing said.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Although the Ministry of Revenue has some extra money, it still has to deal with the war on the border, so it cannot spare that much money..."

Although a year has passed since the war with Northern Qi.

But the money in the Ministry of Revenue's hands was still not abundant.

On the one hand, the previous rewards consumed the Ministry of Revenue’s years of accumulation.

On the other hand, they also had to prepare to unify the country, so the money naturally had to be raised by the Ministry of Revenue.

No matter how good Fan Jian was at business planning, he couldn't come up with so much silver.

How many buildings would be needed to build the academy on the entire mountain? How many martial arts training grounds would be needed? What grade of stone would be needed for the martial arts training ground?
At the same time, they also need to build relevant supporting facilities.

Fan Jian made a rough calculation in his mind.

Even if you invest several million taels of silver, it may not be enough.

This is a huge behemoth that costs tens of millions of silver!
If you can't spend so much money, you will be unworthy of Grand Master Fan Bin's status.

You are all sorry for the Tongtian Academy, which was founded in the world.

"This……"

Emperor Qing hesitated.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I can raise the money."

"Okay, you will find a way to raise money for the construction of the academy, and the future operation will be funded by the Ministry of Revenue. If that doesn't work, I will use my private treasury to pay for it."
