"No!"

As soon as this word was spoken.

Chi Potian was filled with wild joy.

The expressions of the Changancheng scholars changed drastically.

But the next second, Gao Yang's voice followed.

"To be precise, ten million taels is the minimum amount of silver. If I have the ability, within thirty years, I will invest a total of twenty million, fifty million, or even more silver!"

"Hiss!"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, a sound of gasping echoed.

Twenty million taels!

Fifty million taels!

Or even more!

What a terrifying number this was.

Gao Feng and Gao Tianlong's mouths twitched. They looked at Gao Yang, who was not at all timid, and were completely convinced.

This rebellious beast, he just says whatever comes to mind!

Chi Potian's smile stiffened; he was also shocked by Gao Yang's scale.

Huang Zhizhan, filled with admiration, spoke to Gao Yang, "Your subordinate Huang Zhizhan, compiler of the Han Lin Academy, dares to ask Lord Gao, why are you investing so much money?"

For a moment, numerous gazes gathered on Gao Yang.

They were also extremely curious about this question!

If one million taels of silver was because he couldn't bear to see Liu Dashan go astray, what about ten million taels?

Gao Yang stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the Changancheng scholars, then smiled and said, "When poor, one should improve oneself; when successful, one should benefit the world. Does doing good deeds need a reason?"

In an instant.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

When poor, one should improve oneself; when successful, one should benefit the world!

Hum!

These words echoed in Huang Zhizhan's mind, making his soul feel as if it had been purified.

He was filled with shame.

What kind of vision, what kind of realm is this!

He had measured a gentleman's heart with a petty person's yardstick!

Does doing good deeds need a reason?

A commotion arose in the crowd.

"Good! These words are excellent. 'When poor, one should improve oneself; when successful, one should benefit the world.' These are the words of a sage!"

"This vision of Lord Gao's is something we won't be able to catch up to in this lifetime."

Chi Potian's heart was shaken.

He stared at Gao Yang, who was close at hand, his body trembling.

Did these words also come from Gao Yang?

It's over!

It's all over!

He closed his eyes in pain.

Gao Yang looked at the students, his gaze filled with emotion, and said, "But if I must give a reason, then as I said, the culprit of the Nursery Hall, Liu Dashan, is one of the reasons."

"A child so diligent and eager to learn, chased by dogs, beaten by servants, yet because of poverty, his path to chasing dreams was cut off, and he ultimately went astray. It is truly hateful, lamentable, and sigh-worthy!"

"Every time I think of it, my heart aches!"

The scholars nodded.

Clearly, this reason had also reached their ears.

But immediately after.
