Because the financial crisis of Daxia had been resolved, the court was filled with jubilation. At the same time, Xia Changan also learned that the school he had proposed had been almost completed.
The first batch of researchers has been recruited and assembled, ready to start work at any time. However, these researchers are completely in the dark about their work.
Because Xia Changan's plan did not mention what psychic technology was specifically, only a very general formula, which made the bigwigs in various industries a little confused.
Therefore, as soon as they finished registering at the academy, they hurriedly chased after the Minister of Works to ask all kinds of questions.
This puzzled the Minister of Works, because he himself didn't know what Xia Changan's intention was in gathering these people together.
Therefore, the Minister of Works had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Xia Changan during the court meeting how to arrange work for those people in the future.
"I understand. You don't have to worry about the next thing. I will be directly responsible for all matters of the school in the future." Xia Changan's taking on so much responsibility made the Minister of Works breathe a sigh of relief.
The content of the next court meeting was much more ordinary. It was nothing more than a report on the preparations for the competition. However, Xia Changan felt a little aggrieved as he listened.
Daxia has already hosted the contestants for free, why should it be picked and chosen by the envoys from those kingdoms who came early?
Those guys either complained that the accommodation was old and outdated, or that the food menu was not up to standard.
Are they here to make fun of me? They didn't even pay a penny, yet they're still complaining about this and that. You know, Daxia has to pay for food and lodging, and also prepare rewards for the winners. That all costs money.
No, she couldn't spoil them like this.
"Don't pay attention to those jumping clowns. All the food and accommodation for this Zhongzhou Domain Spiritual Master Competition will be simple. If those scum dare to cause trouble, just tell them that two emperors of Daxia died successively this year. Therefore, the whole country is in mourning, and all entertainment and celebrations are strictly prohibited. If they still don't give in, let them come to me directly. I want to see if they have the courage to cause trouble in front of me." Xia Changan said word by word.
Her cold tone, coupled with her majestic aura, lowered the overall temperature of the court.
The ministers would not disobey Xia Changan's decision. In fact, they were also annoyed by the foreign envoys and wished they would disappear as soon as possible.
Now with Xia Chang'an's support, the ministers now have enough confidence when facing those picky envoys.
The ministers felt that today was a great day, as everything happened today. This time they no longer had to look at the faces of foreign envoys and endure their anger.
Xia Changan paused for a moment and then continued, "Wait, those envoys are so ignorant, we can't just let them suffer this loss. Although due to various historical reasons, our Great Xia has to host the Central Plains Spiritual Master Competition, but this does not mean that we can only spend money and effort and get nothing in return."
Xia Changan thought about it carefully and felt that she had to find a way to earn back the cost invested by Daxia from the foreign players and envoys who came to participate in the competition. She had lived two lives, and what she hated most was doing business at a loss.
"Also, if I remember correctly, after the previous Zhongzhou Region Spiritual Master Competition, the venues and reception areas used for the competition would be left vacant. They would only be inspected and repaired before the next competition, and then reopened. This is really a waste."
"It would be better to recruit investors from all over the country. During the competition, some venues can be opened to build commercial areas and open some shops and restaurants. With so many outsiders, we can definitely sell a lot of things. After the competition, these venues don't have to be vacant, but can be directly planned as tourist resorts open to all citizens. Losing money is also a gain, so why not make money?"
Xia Changan's mind was full of calculations. Humph, she still didn't believe it. Those who came to compete couldn't all be Zhou Paopi.
Since they were here, even if she couldn't squeeze all their money out, she couldn't let Daxia do the hard work. She had to try to earn back the reception fee from them.
Xia Changan gave his own idea a thumbs up. But the ministers felt a strong shock. His Majesty's thinking was really ahead of their time, and they couldn't keep up.
You should know that all the emperors and ministers of Daxia were proud of Daxia being a superpower. They also regarded themselves as citizens of a great power. Therefore, in the process of conducting diplomatic activities with other kingdoms, they consciously assumed the so-called great power responsibilities.
The responsibility of a great country is nothing more than to contribute money and effort. It can be said that in diplomacy, Daxia has always been a hard-working existence.
However, their humility did not earn them the respect they deserved. Instead, the people in the kingdom felt that everything was as they should be.
It's not that they haven't felt aggrieved about this, but often the other party's magnanimity would force them to suppress their anger.
Daxia, as a veritable super empire in the Central Plains domain, was placed on a moral high ground by those small kingdoms and kidnapped by their morality.
Therefore, the civil and military officials in the court had never thought before that they could earn back the money invested by Daxia from those who came to participate in the competition.
Xia Changan's words were too shocking to their ears. But after thinking about it carefully, they felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so.
Daxia has always fulfilled its due responsibilities, and those kingdoms are really not qualified to blame them on those minor details.
Take this competition for example. Daxia is the host country, and it is reasonable for those kingdoms to thank Daxia for providing them with venues and accommodation for free. Instead of picking and nitpicking them, they should be extremely harsh.
The ministers came to their senses and immediately adjusted their mindsets and began to ponder the ideas Xia Changan had mentioned. Unexpectedly, the more they pondered, the more they thought the ideas were good.
Just as the ministers' eyes lit up, Xia Changan continued, "Lord Yan, the specific implementation of this matter is left to you. I believe that with your ability, you can definitely squeeze the people from other kingdoms... Oh no, make them so happy that they will not want to leave and willingly pay for things."
Xia Changan's thoughts were not as complicated as those of the ministers. In her eyes, every country was the same, and there was no saying that anyone had to take responsibility. The demeanor of a great country was nothing to her.
"I obey your order." Yan Huazhang's heart and eyes were filled with admiration for Xia Changan. He felt that Xia Changan was worthy of being the owner of the Emperor's Soul, and the kingly demeanor around him was really unconcealable.
Another court meeting passed, and Xia Changan set out for the newly established institution with great anticipation.
She hoped that the bigwigs would not let her down. Even if they could not develop a computer in one go, they should at least develop psychic technology.
