When Zhao Hao said this, not only Pang Yuan, but also the other court officials' expressions changed.
Because there is not only Pang Yuan here, there are also many children from other families among them.
If it is true as Zhao Hao said, that everyone is excluded, then the loss would be too great.
Therefore, they all raised their objections.
The first to bear the brunt was Pang Yuan.
This guy knelt down directly.
"Your Majesty, you established the Gewu Academy with the intention of cultivating talents for the country."
"And the group of scholars is originally the talent reserve of the country."
"Now, Zhao Hao has excluded so many scholars, which is completely contrary to your majesty's original intention."
"Your Majesty, please be clear-headed and do not allow Zhao Hao to do such a thing."
As soon as Pang Yuan finished speaking, a group of ministers also seconded his words.
However, no one attacked Zhao Hao anymore.
Because everyone could see that Zhao Hao really dared not to accept the position of President of Gewu Academy.
After all, it was the Empress who asked others to do this.
If Zhao Hao gets angry and really stops teaching, the loss will be huge.
Now, even if he had to coax them, he had to let Zhao Hao teach them well. It would not be too late to settle the score with them after his own children had learned his way of studying things.
Jiang Wan'er pondered for a moment and her eyes fell on Zhao Hao.
Immediately, he said softly: "Zhao Hao, what the adults said makes sense."
"I know that these scholars are forcing you, which makes you very angry."
"But they are indeed the talents I have been preparing for a long time."
"Look... can you please give me some face and change your decision a little?"
"Or should we let them enroll?"
Zhao Hao immediately said, "Your Majesty, I am about the same age as these scholars."
"In fact, from the bottom of their hearts, the reason why these people dare to cry out for injustice to me and persecute me is because, in their hearts, I am no different from them."
"In fact, they look down on me in their hearts."
"Your Majesty, please think about this. If someone else were to become the dean of the Gewu Academy, would these scholars still dare to do so?"
"So, I think it's better to exclude them early, so that after they enter school, they won't refuse to obey my discipline and listen to my teachings."
"If that happens, the entire academy will be in chaos, and those who want to learn won't be able to learn. Isn't that also contrary to your majesty's original intention?"
"I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
Hearing him say this, Jiang Waner's expression became a little solemn.
After a pause, he said, "Both sides seem to have some truth in what you say..."
"However, these people still need to enter the academy."
"Zhao Hao, tell me, how can we get these people to study in the academy?"
Zhao Hao's face suddenly showed an extremely aggrieved look, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty has said so, and I can only obey."
"In that case, I have only one condition. If Your Majesty agrees, then I will agree."
"If your majesty cannot agree, then I will have no choice but to give up my position as dean. Your majesty, please find another candidate."
Hearing that Zhao Hao finally gave in, Jiang Wan'er couldn't help but smile. Pang Yuan and other ministers also breathed a sigh of relief.
It has to be Your Majesty!
Jiang Wan'er said quickly: "Zhao Hao, stop talking like that. If you have any opinions, just tell me directly. As long as they are not too excessive, I can agree to your request!"
Zhao Hao looked heavy-hearted and said, "Your Majesty, in order to teach these scholars a lesson."
"They said I was unfair, so I will be unfair to the end."
"Originally, I decided that each of them would pay 1,000 guan per year in tuition."
"Since they don't want to, let's change it now."
"If they want to enroll, the tuition fee is 2,000 guan per person per year."
"Not even a penny less!"
Hearing him say this, everyone present's eyes widened.
Good job.
When your upper lip touches your lower lip, it doubles in size?
However, at this time, they did not dare to continue talking.
No one, including Pang Yuan, said anything.
They were worried that if they continued talking about it, Zhao Hao might raise the tuition fee to three thousand strings of cash.
This wicked thing is really evil.
Two thousand strings of cash. How dare he reveal this number?
At this time, Jiang Wan'er was also in a dilemma. She looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Zhao Hao, two thousand strings of cash, isn't this price a bit too high?"
"How about you reduce it a little?"
Zhao Hao said, "Your Majesty, it cannot be reduced at all. Everyone has witnessed my abilities."
"I'm sure everyone has seen how much money I've made using these skills."
"Tell me, with such skills, is it expensive to ask them to pay such a small tuition?"
Jiang Wan'er thought about it and said, "Well, what you said does make sense."
She immediately looked at Pang Yuan and the others and said, "Master Pang, what do you think?"
"I think what Zhao Hao said makes sense."
"If you still don't agree, then there is nothing I can do."
"Otherwise, you can find me someone with the same ability as Zhao Hao to be the dean of this academy."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned ugly.
Where can I find this?
Throughout the ages, looking through historical records, it seems that there has never been an outlier like Zhao Hao.
