Chapter 16
"Why?"
"Is it because of the test results?"
"But Your Highness, it is a taboo in the academy to falsify grades! I really have no way to deal with it."
Huang Fugui was aggrieved like a child weighing two or three hundred pounds.
Wang Xuan smiled:"It's none of your business, but this prince has no reason to stay in the academy anymore."
"The palace has already hired a famous teacher to teach me, so I won't come to compete with commoners for a degree."
In fact, there is no famous teacher, but Wang Xuan has no time to come to the academy, so he simply quit.
Huang Fugui wanted to say that he didn't take up a degree and was considered an extra-staff member.
But he didn't say it out loud, for fear that Wang Xuan would kill him if he knew.
"Your Highness, although famous teachers are good, coming to the academy is not just about studying, you can also make friends."
"Otherwise, what's the point of studying alone!"
Huang Fugui looked anxious and tried his best to keep him.
Wang Xuan admitted that Huang Fugui's words made sense, but the problem was......
"Who can make friends with me? Who is willing to make friends with me?"
Huang Fugui's face froze. He almost forgot Wang Xuan's identity.
How could a commoner dare to approach him and call him a brother?
Even if he really wanted to make friends, how could he not have some purpose?
The king is destined to be lonely.
Huang Fugui sighed:
"It seems that His Highness has made up his mind to leave."
Wang Xuan's mouth curled up slightly:"Don't you usually not want to see me?"
"Why are you trying to keep me now?"
"Logically speaking, the academy shouldn’t be very welcoming to a rich and powerful person like me!"
Huang Fugui straightened up and said,"How could that be!"
"Our academy adheres to Confucius' principle of 'teaching without distinction'!"
"No matter if you are a beggar or an emperor, as long as you have talent and want to learn, we will treat you equally."
Wang Xuan nodded in agreement. The academy did a good job in this regard.
Just like Wang Xuan had been using his status to pressure Huang Fugui to change his grades before, but he had never succeeded.
Everyone is equal in front of the academy.
This is also what Wang Xuan admires.
Even the time when the academy recruited female students was earlier than when the empress came to power and issued the"Equality Order"
"That's it. You can help me with the rest. I'm leaving now."
Wang Xuan turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Huang Fugui hurriedly stopped Wang Xuan
"Anything else?"
Huang Fugui said shyly,
"That's the one......After His Highness dropped out of school, the Zhenbei Palace donated 500,000 taels of silver every year.......It still counts!"
Wang Xuan suddenly realized:"So you are trying to keep me, but you are trying to keep the money?"
Huang Fugui said seriously:"Of course not, the academy treats every student equally. If you want to drop out, you must be retained. This is the process."
"but......Your Highness, you also know that most of the students enrolled in the academy are children of common people. The tuition fees are reduced every year, and the food and accommodation are also very cheap. The small amount of money allocated by the Ministry of Rites every year is not enough. Can you see if it is possible?......"
At the end, Huang Fugui showed an embarrassed expression.
Wang Xuan didn't believe that this old fox would be embarrassed, he was just pretending.
However, 500,000 taels was nothing to the palace, and it was a good deal to gain the friendship of the academy.
Even if he couldn't win the academy over to his side in the end, at least he could make them not target him and not side with the protagonist.
"How about this, my Zhenbei Palace will donate 500,000 taels every year as usual, and this prince will donate another 100,000 taels to the academy every year!"
Huang Fugui was overjoyed. He didn't expect Wang Xuan to be so generous.
He stood up and walked to Wang Xuan and bowed.
"Dean, what are you doing?" Wang Xuan quickly helped him up. Huang
Fugui said seriously:"I thought your highness was an unlearned person before, but I didn't expect that your highness has great righteousness in his heart and is willing to donate generously to Daqian's education cause."
"I am judging others by my own standards."
"This bow is my apology to Your Highness.
Then he bowed again.
""Master, you have already bowed, why are you bowing again?" Wang Xuan helped him up again.
"This bow is for the students of the academy, to express gratitude to His Majesty."
Seeing Huang Fugui wanted to bow again, Wang Xuan quickly supported him:
"Old Huang, it will be unlucky if we continue to bow, why don’t we just get married in the hall."
Huang Fugui grinned, showing his dazzling yellow teeth again:
"Your Highness, you are joking. Even if I dare to marry, the King of Zhenbei will not dare to marry me, right?"Wang Xuan came back to his senses:"Huang Fugui, you are taking advantage of me, right? Why am I zero and you are one?"
Huang Fugui looked confused:"Your Highness, your words are a bit profound. I really don't understand. What is zero? What is one?"
Wang Xuan touched his nose embarrassedly.
Why are you talking about this? If you continue, it will become the Nantong Divine Religion.
And it's with Huang Fugui.......Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
"It's nothing, don't mind it, I'm just talking nonsense."
Huang Fugui looked strange, but he didn't investigate further.
It's normal for a rich family to have some quirks.
Compared to some people he had met, Wang Xuan was already a normal person.
The only abnormal thing was that he was so infatuated with the little girl from the Chu family.
"One more question, what is the Academy going to use the 600,000 taels for?"
Wang Xuan raised a key question. Donating money is not the same as just donating it. It is very important to supervise the use of it.
Otherwise, it will be as disgusting as a certain Red Cross in the previous life.
He didn't want the money he donated to be embezzled by some people.
"Your Highness, you can rest assured. I will personally supervise the use of the donated money. In addition to repairing the academy, paying the professors' tuition and subsidizing the meals of teachers and students, the remaining money will be used as tuition money to reward outstanding and poor students."
Tuition money is the scholarship of the academy.
Hearing this, Wang Xuan suddenly remembered something.
《In the plot of"Da Jiang Hu", it seems that Lin An met a noble man during the distribution of tuition fees for a certain academy.
In this way, the opportunity of this son of luck was brought about by himself. He is really a sucker. It is pure ungrateful.
But now that he knows it, he will naturally not let this happen again.
"Old Huang, I have no problem with the usage of the money, but there is one thing: the tuition money cannot be given to Lin An!"
"this......"
Huang Fugui was a little embarrassed. Logically speaking, the money belonged to Wang Xuan. If he didn't pay the tuition fee because of his personal grudge with Lin An, wouldn't that violate the principles of the academy?
But if he didn't agree, it seemed that Wang Xuan might take the money back.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I can't do this."
Huang Fugui still refused. It's good to have money, but he won't die if he doesn't have money. At most, it will make the teachers and students suffer.
Wang Xuan was not angry:"Old Huang, don't refuse yet. This prince wants to tell you something."
"Do you know about the break-off of the engagement between this prince and the Chu family?"
Huang Fugui nodded. Although he had been in the academy for a long time, this matter was spread everywhere in Luodu a few days ago, so he naturally heard about it.
"What does this have to do with Lin An?"
"Guess what the real reason is for canceling the engagement?" Wang Xuan asked.
Huang Fugui's face darkened, and he understood what Wang Xuan meant.
He recalled some past events, when Chu Siyan always stayed with Lin An after class.
Nowadays, etiquette is not strict, and the academy is even more open-minded, so he didn't think much about it, thinking it was just a normal discussion between students.
Now that Wang Xuan said this, it means that Lin An and Chu Siyan may really have something going on.
Chu Siyan is already engaged to Wang Xuan.
Even if etiquette is not strict, you can't do this.
Isn't this morally corrupt?
"With such bad behavior, whether he is qualified to receive the tuition fee of the academy, I believe the dean knows it well!"
Huang Fugui said in a deep voice:"Don't worry, Your Highness, if Lin An really does something improper, the academy will never tolerate it!"
【Ding! Influence the academy director Huang Fugui's impression of Lin An, destroy his chance, and gain 8000 points of luck! 】
Wang Xuan was satisfied.
