The next day, after attending the morning court, Zhou Shuren had a feeling. As expected, several ministers were asked to stay behind, along with Rongchuan, and the expansion of the academy was decided, funded by the Imperial court.
Zhou Shuren silently thought to himself that nothing should be spared when it comes to education, and he replied swiftly, "You can come to the Ministry of Revenue to collect the silver in the afternoon."
The Emperor glanced at Zhou Shuren several times. He could confirm it wasn't because of Rongchuan that the silver was given so readily. It seemed issues related to education received funds quite smoothly.
The Minister of Rites was envious and mumbled, "Next year's spring examinations."
Zhou Shuren stared straight at him, "You yourself mentioned next year."
The Minister of Rites moved his lips without making a sound, but inwardly thought that Marquis Zhou's ears were quite keen.
