You cause trouble and I collect your body, the little emperor’s aunt abuses the scumbag again

"However, this ability... cannot be generalized. Passing the entrance exam is certainly impressive. After a few years at Peking University, if you have the skills, you can become an official or do other things to contribute to our country."

"But these uncles have also worked hard and made great contributions. I think it would be appropriate to give them some spots."

The emperor's lips twitched as he listened. His daughter was truly a master of balancing things; she had talked for a long time, but it felt like she hadn't said anything at all.

So, do you support it or oppose it?

I've never seen such a smooth talker.

"But releasing places without a reason is unfair to ordinary students."

"Actually, I think we can come up with a solution that satisfies both sides."

Lord Liu and the others were stunned, and their curiosity grew even stronger. "Little princess, what is your solution that satisfies both sides?"

This idea has the best of both worlds? How come they didn't think of that?

"It's very simple, so I'm giving you places, but they're not free; you can buy them with silver. By donating silver, you can get into Peking University."

Dongfang Feiyang was utterly shocked. How come he hadn't thought of this method?

The emperor listened thoughtfully. The capital university was no longer losing money, but the children from poor families were still having a hard time there.

After all, we still have to work, otherwise we won't even have food to eat.

If places can be bought and sold, this money could be used to subsidize students.

"Little princess, your idea is good, but how do we calculate the cost?"

"Ten thousand taels of silver each?"

Several ministers felt a wave of dizziness wash over them. The little princess really dared to ask for that much! How much was their monthly salary? 10,000 taels of silver wasn't something they could just casually come up with.

"Is it too much?"

"Then just issue a public announcement, and people outside can also buy it."

All the ministers wanted to beat someone up. If it really cost 10,000 taels of silver to get into the capital, the merchants would definitely be willing.

"But we can't afford it!"

Even if they could produce it, they couldn't admit it, because the Emperor was still watching them closely. The Emperor knew better than anyone how much salary they received.

If I agree too readily, and the Emperor then settles scores with me afterward, who will I complain to?

"Then let's not ask for any spots. Or you can start saving money now, or you can borrow from someone."

"The number of places must be limited. The number to be released each year will be decided by the school leaders."

"Besides what you keep, we can also sell it to others. However, the price will be higher."

Only a genius like herself could come up with such a method; Xiaoxiao wanted to applaud herself.

The ministers were at a loss for words. They had achieved one of their goals, but why did they feel so uncomfortable?

Dongfang Feiyang looked at Xiaoxiao with satisfaction. She was indeed a smart child. Even he couldn't understand her.

The Emperor had no objection. It would be even better if some of the money received could be sent to the national treasury. He would discuss it with the Empress later to see if they could contribute some of it.

While the ministers were still pondering and weighing the pros and cons, Xiaoxiao had already changed the subject.

"Father, do you remember the suggestion my master made back in Yancheng?"

She hadn't forgotten the important reason she came here.

The Emperor raised an eyebrow. "What suggestion?"

He felt that the little girl had a lot of ideas, but he didn't know which one she was referring to.

“Back then, Master said that true strength lies in being strong yourself. Although now, whatever we need, Master can buy it for us, she is not sure if she can always keep in touch with us. Master advised us to become strong ourselves, so that we can make many things ourselves.”

The emperor's expression turned serious. "You're absolutely right."

“My master just asked me when to start infrastructure construction, what the requirements are, what kind of construction I want to do, and about how big the area is. My master asked someone to draw up the design drawings.”

"I don't know the specifics either. Why don't you ask your master what needs to be built in the first place in our situation?"

"As for the size of the place, that's not a problem. No matter how big you want, we can provide it."

"But we also have to consider the distance; it can't be too far from the capital."

Xiaoxiao nodded, "Then I'll go ask Master again."

The little girl nestled directly into the Emperor's arms and closed her eyes to rest.

The minister listened with a vague understanding, only partially comprehending the information.

"Your Majesty, what the little princess just said meant..."

The prime minister asked cautiously, as it sounded like he was talking about building something. Could it be a separate residence?
