Although he had passed the imperial examination, Li Chen was not at ease in his heart.

He knows the biggest obstacle to this matter lies in public opinion.

Its subsequent influence won't be fully realized until it reaches the general public.

The common people and scholars don't care about your explanations. They think something is wrong, they just scold it.

It's fine to scold them a bit, but these people are all customers of the money lender. Li Chen can't afford to give up on them no matter what he says.

Therefore, the real challenge lies in how to promote this and get people across the land to accept the fact that the first state-owned enterprise of the Qin Empire has emerged, and to become customers.

Li Chen can't force people to save money by putting a knife to their necks. That's not realistic.

After the court session, Li Chen summoned Dàntái Jìngzhī to the East Palace.

"Thank you for your hard work earlier."

"Dàntái Jìng chuckled bitterly, “As long as it benefits the country, it’s nothing.”

Li Chen laughed and said, "However, sir's demeanor is truly extraordinary. Seeing Wang Tenghuan speechless after being scolded by you was truly refreshing."

"The real difficulty of this matter lies ahead, Your Highness. Are you prepared"

"These matters, this palace will find a way to resolve."

Dantai Jingzhi nodded and then asked, "Your Highness, I have a question, please enlighten me."

"Sir, please go ahead."

"Your Highness's wedding, just now..."

"Lord, are you saying that the empress is being too blatant in her request for money" Li Chen asked with a sly smile.

Dantai Jing nodded without hesitation and said, "In that case, it's truly a let-down."

"This palace has no way."

Li Chen spread his hands helplessly and said, “As the master said before, even a skilled cook can’t make a meal without rice.”

"This money is what this palace needs to raise to build the academy. It takes over eight million taels to construct it. Do you think the East Palace has enough money for this palace to use Relying on the assets of the East Palace, not even one-tenth is enough."

Upon hearing this, Dantai Jingzhi couldn't help but be moved.

He initially really thought this was just Li Chen's personal greed for money.

But unexpectedly, making money is real, but his heart is truly dedicated to the public good.

Raising his hand, Dantai Jing bowed and said, "Earlier, I harbored some resentment towards Your Highness for forcing me to serve in the court. However, now, those feelings are completely gone."

Tantai Jing's words were candid, and Li Chen could see that they came from the heart.

He chuckled softly, helped up Dantai Jingzhi, and said in a gentle voice, "It takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate a person. Education is a matter of great importance, affecting generations to come, it's the foundation of the nation, even if the Great Qin Empire were to perish one day, as long as there was still a single descendant of the Great Qin people in the world who valued education, this matter would continue to be passed down."

"This palace wishes to journey forward hand-in-hand with my esteemed husband."

At that moment, in the East Palace's side hall, Prince Zhao Li Yinhou had just finished a morning of overseeing schoolwork.

Escaping the clamor of his younger siblings, Li Yinhǔ felt utterly exhausted.

But thinking about his upcoming mission to suppress the White Lotus Sect in the Jingji region, Li Yuhua's fervor returned.

"This time, we must definitely achieve some results, so as to increase our own foundation and strength!"

Li Yinhu clenched his fist, secretly giving himself a pep talk in his heart.

Just as he turned the corner and was about to get into the carriage, he caught a glimpse on the eaves of the East Palace, a snow-white figure that seemed familiar, haunting his dreams, flashing past...

Li Yinhu was dumbfounded.ally, Zhao Xuanji came to confront Li Chen. However, Li Chen's question caught Zhao Xuanji off guard.Wang Tenghuan saw the stalemate and quickly said, "But Your Highness, the other party is after all...
