Chapter 127 The Day the Fan Family Takes Off (Two in One)

Kyoto, Fan family.

The whole mansion was decorated with lights and was very lively.

Even when the bustle was over and the guests had gone home, the maids and servants in the mansion were still very excited.

From today on, they are the Duke of Protectorate Mansion. And their eldest son is the fifth grandmaster in the world.

Even though they are just servants in the mansion, they can still hold their heads high when they go out.

Kyoto is a place where class is evident everywhere.

For them, they had suddenly reached the top among servants of the same level.

Even those who were stabbed in the palace were not necessarily better than them...

It is no exaggeration to say that they achieved great success overnight.

Not to mention, the host is happy.

The rewards to them were generous.

First, the master and the mistress gave a round of rewards. After the eldest daughter found out, she added some more to the amount given by the master and the mistress.

Just adding up these two rounds, even the maid who was in charge of cooking in the mansion got one or two taels of silver.

The third young master, who had always been stingy, was even more generous after hearing the news.

Each person was rewarded with 50 big pieces.

It may not seem like much, but to be able to get money from their third young master is unprecedented.

Later, the second young master gave another round of rewards, adding half a tael to each person.

The real boss hasn't appeared yet, but everyone is making a lot of money...

When Fan Bin came back, he rewarded everyone, regardless of size, with two taels of silver.

Who wouldn’t be happy to receive so much money all at once?
It is for this reason that even though the guests have left, the people in the mansion are still full of joy.

After everyone left, the core members of the Fan family gathered together.

"This business is a sure win!"

Fan Sizhe held an abacus in his hand, his eyes full of silver symbols.

"Your Majesty's reward is 200 taels, plus the gifts from the ministers, I just estimated that the cash alone is more than million! If you add those rare treasures and precious gifts, it will be at least million taels! I have never done such a big business before."

Although Fan Sizhe was already one of the few big merchants in Kyoto.

But he had never handled a transaction worth millions.

At this level, most of the transactions were between the inner treasury and the imperial court, and it was difficult for private individuals to accomplish this.

“I didn’t expect them to be so generous!”

Aunt Liu was also amazed.

"How can they be so generous? This is real money. If I'm right, this should be a stepping stone, right?"

Fan Xian looked at Fan Bin.

The matter of Tongtian College has been finalized.

This means that warriors have an opportunity to learn from the grandmaster.

Needless to say, the most mysterious grandmaster in the palace has never accepted any disciples.

Several other grand masters have restrictions on accepting disciples.

They not only pay attention to qualifications, but also pay attention to fate.

In this situation, those warriors who want to improve themselves have no other choice but to figure it out on their own.

But now, this has become a thing of the past.

With the opening of Tongtian Academy, warriors now have an opportunity to learn from grand masters in an open and aboveboard manner.

This is a temptation that no warrior can refuse.

These powerful people in the court often maintain close relationships with these warriors.

That's why they spent a lot of money to come and congratulate Fan Bin.

"So what do they want?"

Fan Ruoruo was a little confused.

"Sister, you are the most talented woman in the capital. Why do you act like a silly girl in front of your two brothers?"

Fan Sizhe smiled bitterly.

"Be bold!"

Hearing her brother scolding her like this, Fan Ruoruo threw the teacup in her hand directly at Fan Sizhe.

The teacup and the water immediately enveloped Fan Sizhe.

When Fan Sizhe saw the teacup coming towards him, he dodged with a smile and actually avoided the range of the tea.

This was not the end. When the tea fell to the ground, he raised his foot again and kicked the teacup that was about to fall to the ground.

This series of actions was clean and neat.

Obviously he has acquired quite a lot of skills.

"Sister, I got this with great difficulty from a shop that specializes in internal treasury. This glass cup alone is worth two taels of silver."

The glass cups made in Neiku were not made for the common people, but for the rich and powerful because scarcity makes them valuable.

They control production, so the price of each cup is not low.

"Humph!"

Fan Ruoruo turned her head away angrily.

"You are pretty good now, aren't you?"

Fan Xian looked at Fan Sizhe, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Fan Sizhe obviously hasn't practiced martial arts for a long time.

I didn't expect that he already has seventh-grade skills?
"After all, I also have the blood of our Fan family flowing in my body. You are a Grandmaster and one is a ninth-rank master. I can't fall behind, right? Big brother, don't forget to make up the money to me when the time comes..."

Fan Sizhe never missed any business that could make money.

He had previously agreed with Fan Bin that he would receive a certain amount of silver for every promotion.

Now is the time to deliver on that promise.

"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you."

Fan Bin nodded.

"You haven't told me what exactly those guys want?"

Aunt Liu also asked curiously.

"What else could it be? Big brother is going to open an academy. What do you think is the most lacking thing in this academy?"

Fan Sizhe spread his hands and returned to his seat.

"Qualifications for admission!"

Aunt Liu guessed.

After guessing, she shook her head again.

Although this possibility is the greatest, Aunt Liu always feels that something is missing.

"Half right!"

Fan Xian nodded, agreeing with Aunt Liu's guess.

"half?"

Fan Ruoruo had obviously realized that at this moment, the most important thing for the other families should be the admission qualification.

Be able to get guidance from the grand master.

Whether it is the warriors trained in their family or the warriors they recruited, they all have the possibility to make further progress in the academy.

That means that the strength of their family can be enhanced.

At the very least, they will not be left behind by other families because of the sudden appearance of the academy.

Let’s go back to the beginning and talk about the warriors they recruited.

If these families can obtain admission qualifications, they will talk to the warriors who have joined them.

This is undoubtedly another plus point.

Even if they cannot make the warriors they recruit loyal to them, they can definitely increase their loyalty.

"What's the other half?"

Aunt Liu asked. "My dear mother, don't you understand? Of course it's the teacher."

"Why do people think that my elder brother will become the real power in Daqing after he becomes the dean? In the final analysis, isn't it because my elder brother can influence his students?"

Fan Sizhe analyzed as a matter of course: "But how much time does my elder brother have? There are so many students. He can't take every one of them with him and teach them carefully one by one, right? If that's the case, why would he open an academy? Wouldn't it be better to just accept disciples directly?"

Fan Xian and Fan Bin were both very surprised.

In their family, the only people who could see through this were the two brothers. They originally thought that only their father Fan Jian could see through part of it.

Although Aunt Liu and Fan Ruoruo are both extremely smart, they have a very clear understanding of both their family and the court.

But Tongtian Academy has never appeared before.

They have no examples to refer to, so naturally they have no way of fully understanding the benefits of the academy.

Even someone as smart as Emperor Qing did not fully realize what impact Tongtian Academy would have on the future of Daqing?
Unexpectedly, Fan Sizhe actually comprehended part of the truth.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? Is my analysis wrong?"

"Your analysis is correct. From now on, I will leave the household chores to you."

Hearing Fan Bin's words, Fan Sizhe shook his head like a rattle.

"No! All the family property belongs to my eldest brother. Why should I let you manage it for free? I still have business to do..."

Fan Sizhe speaks his mind.

Aunt Liu was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"You are such a loser, the mansion belongs to your elder brother! Aren't you going to inherit the Earl's Mansion?"

In fact, Fan Sizhe is also responsible for the household chores.

"How much money does the Bo family have?"

Fan Sizhe looked disdainful.

His eldest brother is the fifth greatest grandmaster in the world, and the gifts he received alone are worth five million.

This is just the beginning.

If his elder brother really opened up the academy's teacher and student quotas, those people would probably be able to raise tens of millions of taels of silver for his brother.

By then, we won’t have to worry about the money to build the college.

His second brother, Fan Xian, will be in charge of the inner treasury in the future.

That person is said to be in charge of the world's financial power.

Even the dividends from Fan Sizhe's own shop added up every year are a considerable sum.

How much money can the Bo family earn in a year?
Relying solely on the imperial reward and the little land in the mansion...

Fan Sizhe really doesn't like it.

"Evil son!"

Fan Jian was feeling happy when he saw his children were all so successful. Then he heard what Fan Sizhe said.

Old Fan worked so hard to build up his family business, but not one of his sons was interested in it?

How embarrassed is Lao Fan?

What embarrassed him the most was that what Fan Sizhe said was true.

The core of the Fan family, whether it is the Tiger Guard Camp or the entire Danzhou.

Then it must stay in the long house.

Because Fan Jian is the boss and he also has the title of earl, Fan Sizhe was able to get the title of earl.

What Fan Sizhe could truly inherit, apart from the Earl's mansion and the title.

That's all that's left of the land...

No wonder this brat looks down on me.

"Master, don't be angry. This kid is too ignorant. I must teach him a lesson."

Aunt Liu dug her toes into the ground in embarrassment.

She also didn't expect that the things she had never dared to dream of before now seemed to be nothing special.

Being an earl is not necessarily more honorable than being the younger brother of the Duke of Protectorate.

"We can talk about these things later. Let's first think about how to build the academy, right?"

Fan Jian spoke.

The most important thing for them at the moment is how to build the college.

"I can't leave the house at all!"

Fan Sizhe shook his head repeatedly.

Although he really wanted to support his elder brother, he had to spend tens of millions of real money.

That's a joke!
Although the business of the three brothers was profitable, Fan Sizhe did not make that much money.

Not to mention that they don’t have the money, even if they do, they have no way of paying it out.

If the Fan family really had to pay out this money, they would have to pay off their debts and live a life of poverty for the rest of their lives.

"I haven't taken over the inner treasury yet, but it should be soon. His Majesty has promised to let the princess hand in the account books. When the time comes, I'll see if I can get some from the inner treasury..."

Fan Xian spoke.

With tens of millions of taels of silver, Fan Xian himself couldn't think of a good solution.

Fan Bin glanced at Fan Xian and he understood that Fan Xian had good intentions.

However, once the account books of the inner treasury are handed over, Fan Xian probably won't have such thoughts anymore.

The deficit of 20 million taels is still waiting for this kid to make up.

Don’t underestimate the status of the Fan family; it is no longer what it used to be.

But the princess will never let Fan Xian go.

Although Fan Bin became the fifth grandmaster in the world, ordinary powerful people no longer had the qualifications to fight with the Fan family.

But the eldest princess is different.

As the financial backer behind the Junshan Society, the eldest princess is also able to mobilize a grandmaster.

This is the eldest princess’ greatest source of confidence.

It was precisely because the princess had this confidence that Fan Bin felt that the deficit of 2 million taels would still occur.

"You are about to take charge of the inner treasury. Even if there is so much money in the inner treasury, it is not so easy to transfer it. Sizhe's idea is more reliable..."

"Do you really want to arrange a quota?"

Fan Xian frowned.

What impact will Tongtian College have in the future?
Only Fan Xian knows best.

Others cannot see the examples, so they are not clear about the influence of Tongtian Academy.

Fan Xian is different.

He was able to see the example.

So he knew very well what impact Tongtian Academy would have on the world?
This is the Whampoa Military Academy in Daqing!

Maybe it cannot be seen for the time being, but at some point in the future, Tongtian Academy will definitely dominate the world.

Whether it is the teacher's quota or the student's quota.

They will have different degrees of impact on the world.

According to Fan Xian's idea, such a major event must go through layers of screening.

On the one hand, teachers and students are selected based on their strength and potential.

On the other hand, the character of teachers and students must also be assessed.

Once such a position is given to other powerful people.

What kind of response will it bring?
Fan Xian knew it very well.

Moreover, once the quotas are monopolized by the powerful, their rule will only become more solid.

"I know what you are worried about. There is no need to worry. I built Tongtian College. Even if the court provides funding in the future, I will not hand the college over to others. As for the number of teachers and students, there is no need to sacrifice too much..."

Fan Bin turned his gaze to Fan Sizhe.

"Of course not more. If you give up all the places, won't they be everywhere? Who will cherish them then? We must control it. For example, if we want to recruit 10 teachers, we will give up three places. What kind of qualified dignitaries would beat their brains out for these three places? Let's say we want to recruit students, and give up places. Beyond the places, only those who pass the assessment can be admitted..."
