The sunlight lazily passed through the pine and cypress arranged in rows and sprinkled into the building called the "classroom" by Baidong.

The windows covered with paper, new-style desks and chairs, and blank courses hanging at the entrance are not unusual, they are all things that have appeared in the Bai Family School Museum. What made Wei Yang feel very novel is the original color wooden board hanging on the wall. This is not a low-end product painted with black paint in later generations. After a long time, the black paint will peel off piece by piece, which is very ugly. Instead, it is a good log that has a long time old and lightly roasted with charcoal fire, which will turn into a darker brown color. It seems that the surface color of the guitar and violin in later generations, and written with a white gray pen on it, will make a nice "sizzling" sound.

A gray pen is made by burning white-colored limestone into ashes and adding an appropriate amount of pine resin. Even in the Bai family's elementary school museum, Wei Yang curiously picked it up and wrote a few words on the log blackboard, and praised it repeatedly: "Good thing. With this gray pen and wooden board, it will be much more convenient for the teacher in the academy to teach in the future. It can not only be passed on orally, but also written as a model. Baizi, have you applied for an invention patent for these two things? Yang actually had a question. Although invention patents have a role in stimulating business, unfortunately it is just an old Qin's decree. Even if you apply for a patent for Lao Qin, if other people want to infringe on Lao Qin, wouldn't Lao Qin be too far away?"

"Zuo Shuchang is a scholar of the Legalist family, but how could he ask such questions? The so-called evil laws rely on swords and good laws are in the hearts of the people. Since Lao Qin's "Invention Patent Law" and "Trademark Law" can bring benefits to commercial development, how can other countries not be seen? Now the Bai family's business is spreading across the world, whether it is direct sales or agency. In fact, they are all secretly affecting all countries. If the princes of various countries are not stupid people, they will naturally accept it gradually. It should not take too long. When this influence reaches a certain quantity, qualitative changes will occur, and countries in the world will take the initiative to implement similar laws..."

Wei Yang smiled and said, "What a relationship between quantitative change and qualitative change! Now I believe that "Si Xue" was written by Bai Zi himself, otherwise how could he pick it up? I didn't expect that Bai Zi's explanation of good deeds was exactly the same as that of the people in my Fa family. It's true that those who are good deeds benefit the world. That doesn't need to be promoted with swords. Only evil deeds rely on the power of swords. However, those who act with swords are not all evil deeds. Yang wants to abolish the well fields and make everyone have their own fields. If there is no swords, how can he deal with those stubborn nobles of aristocrats? Unless Bai Zi is willing to help Yang with a force, the swords can be avoided and the good things will be accomplished quickly. Isn't that the best?"

"Don't trap me. You have to come to me for everything. I will be exhausted. What do you want you, the Minister of Reform, to do? And there will be someone who will help you get things done smoothly. Don't thank him. He is also for the benefit..."

Bai Dong smiled softly: "Let's go. I see that Wei Zi has something to do, so I won't take you to the library in the academy today. You and I will go to the "Wenshi Building" where the teachers will rest and prepare for teaching in the future. I have ordered people to prepare fragrant tea and snacks, so I can eat and chat..."

"Thank you Baizi."

After leaving the teaching building, I passed by the Neihu, academy named "Shuimufanghua" by Bai Dong. It was the Wenshi Building where the masters rested and prepared lessons in the future. This building was not made of Qin bricks and cement, but was made of pear wood. Not only was the wood fragrance soaring, it was also very comfortable to walk on the stairs, and there was also a pleasant "bang" sound under my feet.

This is the craft of the Gongshu. The entire building is made up of mortise and mortise. Bai Dong would be amazed every time he saw it. However, Wei Yang didn't think it was. In his eyes, those strange-style cement classrooms are the most wonderful buildings.

The academy has not officially started, so there are no teachers and students in the academy, and there are no chores. However, tables and chairs are arranged in the "Wenshi Rooms" in the Wenshi Building, and various teaching materials are also placed on the bookshelf. The Bai family members who accompanied him have made fragrant tea and snacks have been put on the table. Bai Dong and Wei Yang, Nie Zhu and Jing Jian, are like a small tea party, with a harmonious atmosphere, making people relax easily.

"Baizi wants to promote Gongshu Plough to the world, so that the world's grain will surge, and Lao Qin will become the world's granary. This move is not bad, and Yang admires it even more. But Yang was unwilling to accept it. Should he use Gongshu Plough to make profits for Lao Qin? In this way, Lao Qin will gain something when promoting it, and it will not affect Bai Zi's plan. Isn't that even better?"

After drinking a few sips of fragrant tea and praising the decorations in Wenshi Room and the white porcelain fish tank, Wei Yang finally opened the topic. The difficulty of reform was not to compete for profit with the old nobles, but to have no money in hand. Ying Quliang wanted to train troops, and to stabilize the hearts of his ministers and the people. There were too many places to use money. The "reform funds" that Lao Qin could give him was really pitiful, so he focused on the benefits that Gongshu Plough might bring. It was obviously a good thing that wheat fell from the sky, so why didn't you seize this opportunity to make a fortune first? He couldn't figure it out.

"Haha, I'm afraid this is not just Zuo Shuchang's idea. Most of the emperor has the same intention?"

Bai Dong smiled and said, "Has Zuo Shuchang heard the way to catch snakes? If a farmer wants to catch snakes, the best way is not to shoot grass, because it will scare away the fat snake, but to 'lead the snake out of the hole'. If you want to steer the snake out of the hole, don't you need bait? The princes of the world are not fools. If we treat Gongshu plow as treasures, it will inevitably attract the attention of all countries. Although the world's food increases sharply, Lao Qin will not get the greatest benefit. Therefore, we must implement it secretly, so that the merchants and craftsmen in the world will find Gongshu plow, which is a good thing, and let this thing spread among the people. Although this may not be able to escape the eyes of all "mind people", it will minimize the adverse effects, and Lao Qin's interests can also be guaranteed."

"Shooting the snake... Bai Zi's intention is a bit clear. If Gongshu pier is spread among the people, the grain from all over the world will increase in production in the coming year. What means will Bai Zi use to collect it? You made a guarantee in front of you that this move will not consume much money from Lao Qin, but there is a possibility of making money. Yang is really stupid and can't figure out the truth."

"It's not just that you can't figure it out, even the smartest merchants in the world can't figure out the truth. They must wait for me to do it once before they will suddenly become enlightened. But when you all understand, Lao Qin has become the granary of the world, and it's too late to understand. Wei Zi is a smart person, and smart people will think more. This is actually not a good thing. You'll be dedicated to the major reforms. Even if I explain at this time, I'm afraid you won't understand..."

Bai Dong just smiled. To make Wei Yang understand the means of controlling the market in the future, it would be equivalent to playing the piano against a cow. It would be better not to waste your energy.

"Since Bai Zi said this, Yang would not ask. However, Old Qin had no money and could not borrow Gongshu plow to obtain benefits. The king could give Yang the reforms that the emperor had very little money... Yang heard that Du Sikong was purchasing large amounts of old land from small and medium-sized nobles. This move was originally to help Wei Yang, so that Yang could save a lot of unnecessary manpower expenses. Du Sikong's character could be a human nature. If Yang had no money, he would probably not be able to get these old land from him, which would be a dilemma."

When Wei Yang wanted to abolish the old system of well fields, the first thing he had to do was to take back the land from these old nobles. If he replaced the big family like Meng Xibai, even if he bought it with real money and silver, the others would not be willing to sell it. But these small and medium-sized nobles were different. They had limited profits from the old fields and did not dare to openly compete with Wei Yang. It would be better to transfer the matter. So although Du Zhi did this for profit, he was still a help to Wei Yang. It was still impossible to get it without money. People worked hard to help him collect the fields, but they could not grab them.

Bai Dong smiled without saying a word, and knew that Wei Yang's topic would eventually come back to money. He looked at Jing Jian and saw him laughing, and even knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Bai Zi is Yang's kindness, so Yang said bluntly. Bai Zi is a rich man in the old Qin Dynasty. His ordinary thought is that hundreds of thousands of gold are falling into pockets, and Yang is far from that. I hope Bai Zi can think that Yang's reforms are not easy and can generously donate money, so Lao Qin and Yang are both grateful to Bai Zi..."

"Okay, I've said so much, I just want to ask me for money, right? It turns out that the big tree attracts the wind. You are a minister of reform and you actually have the idea of ​​me... How much do you want?"

"If you want less, wouldn't you underestimate Bai Zi? When Bai Zi destroyed Nan Mo, he didn't even blink his eyes and spent a million gold. Now Yang is asking for the country, so he will be a million gold? I wonder Bai Zi will be generous..."

"Impossible. I want a million gold if I praise me a few words. Do I think I am a gold and silver pit? At most, 500,000 gold, plus what you allocated to you by the Lord, it should be enough for the initial reform!"

"Haha, Bai Zi said so much, so much. Thank you..."

"Don't worry, thank me for it. Since you are asking for it for the country, you should do it for business. I borrow it, not give it. Five hundred thousand gold, one cent annual profit, isn't it my cheating on you, right?"

Wei Yang was right. Bai Dong could make hundreds of thousands of gold with just one idea. But everything has rules. It is not enough to always regard the Bai family as the old Qin gulf. Bai Dong still understands the principle of promoting the mien and fighting against rice. What's more, this is the pre-Qin era. No matter how big the market is, it will be saturated. Don't think that glass and porcelain will not affect each other. Good things will be released too quickly and will become worthless due to the decline in purchasing power. Otherwise, why would Bai Dong not burn glass now? You have to take it slowly. When the nobles of various countries spend a lot of money to buy Bai family porcelain, and then have money to rest and have money, it's not too late to burn it again...

"One cent annual profit?" Wei Yang was speechless.

"And there is another condition. Even if you are embarrassed, you must agree, otherwise I will not borrow the money."

"Well, the annual profit is only one cent! Bai Zi has any conditions, please give me instructions..."

"Well, Fengming Academy will be open after the New Year, and there will be no fewer students requesting admission. Fengming Academy adheres to elite education. It only enrolls a hundred students for the first time, not about the origin of the family, nor about the academic qualifications. It must be able to pass the academy exam. It would be fine if it was a foreign aristocrat. Most of the ministers and nobles of Lao Qin and I are acquaintances. If I refuse, I will inevitably offend them. It is very unbeautiful. After thinking about it, it is the best place for you to be the "admissions officer". Don't refuse, I am very optimistic about you..."

Wei Yang widened his eyes when he heard this. It would be very unbeautiful for you to offend others. I deserve to be scolded?
