Li Yuanai did not leave the palace immediately, but went to the East Palace and found Li Zhi who was handling official duties.

When Li Zhi learned that Li Yuanai was coming, he directly invited him into the conference hall.

A middle-aged scholar was talking to Li Zhi about the important matters of state affairs. When he saw Li Yuanai coming, he closed his mouth and called "King Shang" to show respect.

Li Zhi pointed to the middle-aged literary scholar and said, "This is the right concubine of the prince, Xu Jingzong, the Minister of Rites of the Ministry of Rites, and is reporting on the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. Uncle Sixteen will also listen to it together and give him an idea."

Li Yuanai was not in a hurry to think about the matter, so she sat down aside.

Looking at this person ranked first in the list of treacherous officials in the Tang Dynasty, he showed an interest.

This is known as the number one treacherous minister, and his virtues are indeed not very good, but he has never done anything that is harmful to the world.

However, as a knife in Li Zhi's hand, Xu Jingzong was very qualified to stab Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and Han Ai and other auxiliary parties.

Throughout the dynasties, as long as the emperor who had accomplished himself would have friction with the ministers of the previous dynasty.

Because the emperor would not be able to control the real power without killing the ministers of the regent, which was extremely fatal to an ambitious emperor.

However, most of the heroes of all dynasties would leave behind a story. When it comes to Li Zhi, most of the blame was taken by Wu Zetian and Xu Jingzong.

It can be seen that Xu Jingzong was extremely enlightened to make a sword and was a person who knew how to observe his words and expressions.

When Xu Jingzong saw Li Zhi's approval, he said, "Then let me talk again!" Seeing that Li Zhi did not object, he said, "This time the attack on Goguryeo has greatly increased our power. All parties submitted tribute documents, which is more than twice as much as in his later years. However, there is no stable road between Chang'an and the north. Their ethnic groups jointly signed a letter, hoping to build a towering Khan Road, which leads from the desert to Chang'an. The Ministry of Rites each holds a different opinion. Some say that it is not my race, and their hearts must be different. This move contains evil intentions. Some say that this is a happy event to promote the prestige of the country."

Li Zhi looked at Li Yuanai and said, "What do you think?"

Li Yuanai said: "I think this is a good thing. For us, the benefits are far greater than disadvantages. What the road brings is nothing more than exchanges, trade and convenience. In terms of communication, we regard the sovereign country as the party with the advantage. They must carry generous gifts when paying tribute? And we only need to recognize their identities? Or follow some simple gifts."

"Trade is even more unhindered! What they want is just ordinary daily necessities? Even luxury goods. The only things they can do are horses, sheep, and cattle? No matter how they do this business, they can make money."

"As for military convenience, it is not a problem. They are nomadic peoples? They come and go like the wind, and the so-called baggage is just a flock of horses and sheep. How fast can they walk on the post road? At most one or two days? And there is no grass to eat along the way. But we are different. If there is really a war, there is a road to the north, and the speed of our grain trucks can increase exponentially."

"No matter how you think about it, we take advantage of it... But there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to. Can the Khan Tao be practiced? But we only practice the roads within the Tang Dynasty? Since they proposed it, they will solve it themselves. We will not be such a sucker."

Li Zhi nodded when he heard this. After the battle of Goguryeo, the court's finances were in danger? There is no sufficient reason to try to snatch money from him? No copper can do it.

He took out his pen and drew on the memorial? He put it aside. As for what arrangements he made? Li Yuanai and Xu Jingzong had no right to know about this.

Xu Jingzong continued: "This time His Majesty returned to the Eastern Expedition? He brought back Silla and many international students in Baekje? The northern and western regions are also willing to follow suit, hoping that the court can open more places."

Li Zhi did not ask this time, but looked at Li Yuanai.

Li Yuanai did not answer immediately, but thought about it and then said, "I think it is not just an increase, but an unlimited quota."

Li Zhi and Xu Jingzong both looked at Li Yuanai in surprise.

Li Yuanai explained: "You don't have to hurry this, take it slowly. Now there is a very embarrassing situation. We need to convey culture to the surrounding areas so that the influence of our Tang Dynasty will spread. At the same time, there is another situation. Our culture will lead to their nation-state becoming stronger and may even threaten us."

"This is a very contradictory situation. But I think the spread of culture is inevitable. Instead of being self-consistent, it is better to be generous and open the door of convenience and let the world revolve around our Tang Dynasty."

"Now we limit the quota. Those who come to my Tang Dynasty to study are those princes and children of high-ranking officials. They are either rich or noble. Their foundation is in their homeland and they have a certain love for their own country. These people will definitely return to their country after they have finished their studies. If they teach them, they will not benefit us much."

"If we open this quota, we will attract not only the children of high-ranking officials, but also some nobles and even wealthy businessmen who have no future development after the noble family who are unpopular!"

"Then what we have to do is not to teach them, but to keep them through various excellent conditions and policies and become part of our Tang Dynasty."

"The court can give excellent conditions, allow good grades to become officials, let those who want to live in our dynasty immigrate and send their wealth to our Tang Dynasty."

"We can create an environment, a beautiful environment for our Tang Dynasty. Let those international students not want to leave when they come. When they come, they feel how prosperous our Tang Dynasty is, how fresh and sweet the air is..."

He said something a little stingy and couldn't continue. He coughed and said, "But there must be a prerequisite. We must pay attention to our signature. Imperial College does not collect borers. Those who can enroll in school must be talents. No matter what the other party is, they cannot make an exception. For those real geniuses, tuition exemption can also be given rewards, so that people all over the world know that the Tang Dynasty Imperial College is a gathering place for heroes in the world and the best in the world. Talents from any country in the world are welcome to learn and teach, and build Imperial College into an institution that attracts world talents for our Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhi and Xu Jingzong were both stunned.

Li Zhi first reacted and said, "It's easy to get a talented person. Whether we can go back depends on us."

Li Yuanai gave a thumbs up and said, "It's just that this matter has a long way to go, it's not something that can be done overnight. You have to take it step by step."

Xu Jingzong reacted and asked, "But in this way, what should the princes and nobles sent by other countries do? My Tang Dynasty kept them out of the door, which was probably affected by the relationship between the two countries."

"This is simple!" Li Yuanai said lightly: "We can also reopen a university, the school's purpose is to advocate happy teaching. As long as we have connections and money, we can enter and study."
