Liao Jingxu was naturally particularly interested in this, as it was no small matter.
And it's not just about money.
When he heard that a school could be built, his eyes lit up: "You are really amazing. This point coincides with what His Highness thought."
ah
Mrs. Liao was a little confused. She helped Liao Jingxu carry a bowl of soup and put it on the table. She asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"Your Highness also told me that he wanted to build a college in Kunming so that the children of the natives could go to school." After taking a sip of soup, Liao Jingxu saw that Mrs. Liao was thinking about something, so he smiled and said, "But it's a little different from what you think. Your Highness's intention is to let all the noble children among the natives go to school."
After all, she was the Governor's wife, and she was very sharp-minded. She quickly understood what Mr. Liao meant, and asked with wide eyes, "Is this okay?"
The children of the native nobles, such as Senator Yang's children, were previously taught by themselves. As for studying, I have rarely seen many natives do so. After all, even if they don't study, they can inherit their fathers' official positions with their status, so they don't need to work hard.
Now Su Yao came up with this idea, to let the children of the native nobles come to Kunming to study. On the surface, it is to study, but in fact, it is no different from hostages.
It's a very good idea, but I'm afraid the natives won't agree.
Liao Jingxu was now in high spirits. Hearing Mrs. Liao's question, he chuckled and shook his head: "Madam, with the Yang family's lesson before us, if they don't agree, do we need to tell them what it means? As long as they can come to study, then we will always teach them some manners."
This is a wonderful way to make the natives truly integrate with the Han people of the Great Zhou.
Madam Liao smiled and said, "I now understand more and more why His Highness said that the county lady is his chief secretary. The county lady is really worthy of it. If it weren't for the fact that the county lady is of noble status and is a girl, I would have asked you to find a way to ask her to be your staff member."
My God, what a resourceful person he is, always coming up with fresh ideas.
But in fact, Su Yao didn't think she was that capable. On the contrary, she felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, in the previous life, these ideas were all thought up by Taoist Qingyuan and Xiao Heng, in order to help the Fifth Prince gain a foothold in Yunnan so that he would be able to fight against King Zhuang.
But now, some of the ideas she had thought of were used in advance.
So when Madam Yuan praised her again, she felt helpless: "Madam, do you really think I can do anything? This is not my idea, it's the idea of His Highness and Mr. Cui."
Mrs. Yuan was a little confused and blinked her eyes: "Really? But I always feel that Yaoyao is also someone who can come up with such an idea!"
Su Yao couldn't help laughing.
The two smiled at each other, and Mrs. Yuan stopped talking about it and said, "I'll go see the children."
She thought about it, and then said to Su Yao: "Yaoyao, after thinking about it, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Su Yao tilted his head and hummed: "What's the matter?"
"I shouldn't go back to the capital." Madam Yuan stood still and looked at her, and said with a firm expression: "You need someone to look after the weaving mill you set up in Kunming, right? What do you think of me?"
Even though Su Yao had made excellent plans for them and had dragged the Governor's Office into the water, that's how things are in the world. Seeing so many poor little girls, there is no guarantee that the people below would not have evil thoughts. After all, a man is innocent but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.
When Madam Yuan saw Su Yao looking at her, she said seriously, "I have thought about it. Anyway, I have nothing to worry about now. Before, you asked me to go to the capital to manage your farm, and I have always decided to do so. But after this incident, I think that living in Yunnan is not bad. The weather here is good and it is spring-like all year round. I have lived here for several years. In addition, I will not be wronged with your weaving mill. Let me stay. People have to do something meaningful to make their lives meaningful."
Su Yao didn't expect that Mrs. Yuan had thought so far ahead. What she was most worried about was that she couldn't find a suitable person to take care of these girls.
It's impossible for Mrs. Liao. She is the governor's wife and has a lot of things to do. She can't spare much time to take care of these girls.
After all, Mrs. Ji and the others are the ones who are in charge of the household affairs and manage the family's backyard affairs, so they cannot spare this kind of energy.
And Mrs. Yuan is indeed the best candidate.
Su Yao hesitated for a moment and said softly, "If that's the case, then my share will be transferred to Madam."
Madam Yuan raised her head suddenly and immediately shook her head: "How can this be possible!? Yaoyao, you misunderstood, I'm not doing this for money..."
Su Yao calmly held her hand and looked at her sincerely: "Of course I know Madam, you didn't do this for the money, but because of those poor girls, and because you want to help me. That's why it's not too much for me to give Madam my share. Since you will be staying in Yunnan in the future, you have to consider the future, and also consider Kang'er and Niuniu. Madam, just think of it as a gift from me to Kang'er and Niuniu. I like these two children very much."
Su Yao has already said this, what else can Mrs. Yuan say
Madam Yuan's lips trembled, and after a long while she choked up and said, "Yaoyao, thank you."
Su Yao paid the money and she took a share, which was really a huge favor.
Su Yao smiled, "What is there to thank you for? Madam, have you forgotten that when I asked you to help me before, you risked your life and brought your little daughter to help me! So, I should be the one thanking you. Well, let's stop thanking each other. Why should we do this? Let's go and see those children."
The little girls occupied two large courtyards. Even so, they didn't have beds, so they slept on the floor with mats. Fortunately, the weather in Yunnan was hot, so it was not too bad. When they saw Su Yao, they became excited and rushed over to call for help.
When facing them, Su Yao couldn't help but smile. After greeting them, he picked up the youngest girl and asked them, "Do you like Aunt Yuan?"
They all called Madam Yuan "Auntie". Although they had only known each other for a short time, Madam Yuan and Su Yao were the most patient with them. Children were actually the most sensitive and could distinguish between good intentions and bad intentions. When they heard Su Yao's question, they all nodded hurriedly and said in unison, "I like it!"
Tuanzi likes to suck her fingers and puts her thumb in her mouth. Su Yao takes her hand out for her, touches her head, and says to the girls, "Okay, Aunt Yuan will always be with you from now on. You have to listen to Aunt Yuan, okay?"
