"Brother, you are so stupid."

Xie Ying looked at Xie Tang with disdain, "Didn't Gusu build an academy and assign tasks to students?"

Xie Tang looked at her depressedly, so angry that he wanted to pinch her face.

It’s too much to say that he is stupid!

But after hearing the latter part, his attention was immediately diverted: "What does this have to do with His Highness?"

Xie Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Why don't you just ask the young prince to help you make a decision and ask him what tasks the academy should assign to the students?"

"Huh?" Xie Tang widened his eyes in surprise, feeling like something was wrong.

Ask Yang Tao what tasks should be assigned to students?

Why did it sound to him like he was assigning a task to Yang Tao?

Xie Tang hesitated, feeling that this wasn't a good idea. "Is this okay? His Highness is still so young, how could he possibly know this?"

Xie Ying said as a matter of course: "If he doesn't know, he can ask others. He is a prince, and his teachers must be very powerful. Just ask them."

Xie Tang looked at Xie Ying suspiciously: "..."

I always feel like my sister is up to something bad!

Is it his imagination?

He thought for a moment and said, "If you put it that way, it seems like there's no problem."

Xie Ying continued, "The academy can let students attend classes for free, but it can't let teachers teach for free. So where will the teachers get their tuition fees?"

Xie Tang nodded: "Yes, this is indeed a problem!"

Xie Ying continued, "So, ask His Royal Highness the Prince. He's a prince, so he must be very smart. Let him think about it. Even if he doesn't know, he can still ask His Majesty and His Majesty."

Xie Tang nodded again: "That's something you can ask."

Xie Ying continued, "And didn't we build two academies and two technical colleges? What courses should be taught in the men's academy? What textbooks are needed?

What should be taught in a women's college? And what courses should be offered in a technical college? Where can I find a teacher? You can ask me anything."

Xie Tang couldn't help swallowing, "But...shouldn't the uncle be the one to think about these things? Why ask the young prince? He's not that old, and he doesn't have to run an academy, so why would he think about these things?"

When Xie Ying heard what he said, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him again out of disgust.

She glared at Xie Tang with a dark face and asked fiercely, "Do you know how much silver an egg costs?"

Xie Tang subconsciously opened his mouth and said, "An egg is, of course..."

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly realized something and glared at Xie Ying with some disdain, "Who told you how much silver an egg costs? An egg is only two cents!"

Now it was Xie Ying's turn to be surprised: "Two cents for an egg?"

Xie Tang looked at her smugly: "You don't know? Yingying, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but even though you're still young, you should learn more. Otherwise, you'll definitely get ripped off by unscrupulous merchants when you go out shopping."

Xie Ying rolled her eyes at him in disdain. She hadn't expected eggs to be so expensive in ancient times, had she? How dare Xie Tang, this brat, look down on her?

Also, aren’t they talking about Yang Tao?

Xie Ying quickly said, "Then do you think, Your Highness, do you know that an egg costs two cents?"

Xie Tang frowned: "This... you probably don't know, right? The little prince has been in the palace all the time and hasn't bought anything."

Xie Ying then snorted in satisfaction, "So, you can go out and ask about the prices outside, write down the prices in Gusu in a letter, and send it to His Highness.

Otherwise, the young prince would be in the palace and not know the prices outside. If someone told him that an egg cost ten taels of silver, he would believe it.

She was not making it up. In history, there was an emperor who was deceived by the Imperial Household Department. An egg that cost three cents outside the palace was priced at ten taels of silver.

The emperor has been in the palace all the time. If he doesn't know the prices outside, won't he be easily fooled?

I just don’t know if Emperor Taihe was fooled, tsk tsk tsk.

Xie Tang didn't know this, and when he heard Xie Ying say that an egg cost ten taels of silver, he thought it was outrageous.

"Your Highness is not a fool. How could you believe that an egg could be sold for ten taels of silver?"

He said this, but in his heart he thought Xie Ying's idea was good.

Yang Tao had someone send him a letter before, and he was quite curious about what was happening in Gusu.

If he asked someone about the prices and then wrote it down in the letter, the little prince would definitely like it.

As for the academy mission Yingying mentioned...

Xie Tang hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask in his heart.

Anyway, it wouldn't take much time to ask these questions, and Yang Tao was also quite curious about the academy built in Gusu. He might be very happy after reading his letter.

Xie Tang looked at Xie Ying again and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll ask for you."

Xie Ying was very unconvinced: "What do you mean by asking for me?"

This kid was so stupid just now, why did he suddenly become so cunning now?

"Didn't Situ Yuan write to you asking for help? If I'm not helping you, what am I?"

Speaking of this, Xie Tang suddenly felt something was wrong.

He looked at Xie Ying suspiciously: "Do you recognize the words above?"

Xie Ying felt a little guilty, but she quickly covered it up and glared at Xie Tang: "What's wrong with me knowing him? Daddy is so smart and he's the top scholar, how could I not know how to read! I've known him since I was in my mother's womb!"

Xie Tang: “…”

Why didn't he recognize those words when he was in the womb?

However, seeing Xie Ying's fierce look, he could only criticize her in his heart.

"Yes, yes, you are the smartest. I will write down what you said before."

As he spoke, he quickly spread out a piece of paper and wrote down everything Xie Ying had said before. Then he called the servant over and asked him to inquire about the prices outside and write down everything.

It just so happened that he had taught the servant to recognize words, so he didn't have to worry about the other party not being able to record them.

Thinking it was a bit cold outside, Xie Tang rewarded the boy with a small piece of silver, about two cents, and said that if he did a good job, he would reward him when he came back.

The servant got the silver and immediately ran out happily.

Xie Ying couldn't help but shake her head: "You've fallen."

Xie Tang was depressed for a while: "Why did I fall?"

"Your reward is two taels of silver, and I'll give you more later."

Xie Ying continued to shake her head, "You weren't like this before."

Xie Tang: “…”

Well, he certainly wasn't that extravagant before.

But we can’t blame him for this, right?

"Isn't it because it's cold outside?" Xie Tang said, and couldn't help but say to Xie Ying, "Yingying, you've received so many gifts recently, why are you so stingy now?"

Xie Ying snorted softly: "Hmph, this is called knowing how to live. I'm not like you, who spends lavishly!"

"So what? I'm spending my own money." Xie Tang snorted, "I'm making a lot of money now! Just wait and see, I'll make even more money in the future!"

Xie Ying originally didn't want him to develop the bad habit of spending money lavishly at such a young age, but after hearing him say that, she suddenly had an idea.

She hooked her finger at Xie Tang and asked mysteriously, "Do you want to make money?"
