Upon hearing this, Li Jue firmly shook his head and said...

"Of course not!"

"If an academy were built here, the academy would inevitably hold drills every day. How would I sleep with all that noise?"

"How about we build it in Yankangfang? That would make it convenient for Uncle Si to commute to and from get off work."

When Li Taiyi heard that the academy was going to have a drill performance, he shook his head vigorously.

"no!"

"I'm a light sleeper, and your fourth aunt isn't in good health either. If it's built next to my house, will you even let us sleep?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue made the suggestion again.

"How about building it next to the East Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tai shook his head.

"no!"

"There's no open space next to the East Palace..."

"If you ask me, it's better to build it here, so that we can easily guide the work of the Institute of Physics at any time..."

Seeing that Li Tai was determined to do so, Li Jue reluctantly agreed.

Anyway, the Institute of Physics wasn't built overnight; it wouldn't have reached its full scale in less than three to five years, so there was no need to establish any rules requiring students to participate in physical exercises.

As for three to five years from now...

Thinking of this, Li Jue couldn't help but let out a cold smile.

If he couldn't secure the throne of the Tang Dynasty within three to five years, he might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head against it and die.

"Fourth Uncle, is there a candidate for the director of the Academy of Natural Sciences?"

Li Tai shook his head upon hearing this.

"No!"

"If you have a suitable one, please recommend one."

Upon hearing this, a person immediately popped into Li Jue's mind.

"There is someone who would be suitable, but I've been hesitant about whether to use him..."

"who?"

"Li Yifu!"

"This man is quite capable, but his character is questionable. I'm afraid that if he becomes the dean of the Physics Department, all the students he teaches will take his surname..."

Li Tai hesitated upon hearing this. He didn't know much about Li Yifu, but he did know that this person came from the Eastern Palace and was originally one of Li Zhi's men.

Therefore, he did not trust Li Yifu very much.

Just as the two were having a heated discussion, Li Jue's elder half-brother, Li Xiang, walked over with a smile.

"Second brother, are you busy discussing official business with your fourth uncle again?"

When Li Tai saw Li Xiang, his eyes lit up. He thought to himself, "Isn't this the perfect candidate to be the dean of the Academy of Natural Sciences?"
