Li Yuanying is a typical pusher, and he is the best at climbing up poles. He guessed that His Majesty Li Er was not angry with him anymore, so he started to make trouble. He didn't just ask for these people and not return them, but seconded them to use them. All the tools and technologies he invested in and researched would be promoted to the whole Datang, so he didn't feel ashamed to open his mouth at all.
After Li Yuanying finished writing the letter, he personally handed it over to the messenger, holding his hand and urging him to deliver the letter to His Majesty Li Er as soon as possible.
It is said that an inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold is hard to buy an inch of time, but he is very eager in his heart. If more people are needed, the awesomeness he and a group of powerful and wealthy households in Tengzhou can realize. The best thing is to call people over a year ago, and he can take people to the pilot county in the next year to show off: Follow King Teng, you can have everything!
Li Yuanying happily sent the messenger away.
After the autumn harvest, the people are all at leisure. Except for the three pilot counties where bridges and roads are to be built for infrastructure construction, everyone has a little idea of fattening up to hide from the winter, and they start to stay at home.
Li Yuanying devoted all his attention to the preparation of the quarterly "Qi Min Yao Shu", running around to invite well-known famous Confucian scholars from this state and neighboring states to come out of the mountain, so as to make double preparations that His Majesty Li Er would not give anyone.
Wei Shu, Wu Mei and the others were not idle either, and discussed taking people to the townships and counties below to give lectures.
Tengzhou Academy has opened a girls' school as early as the beginning, but there have been very few female students who have gone to school in the past two years. Wei Shu and the others feel that it is good to mobilize and teach the girls to learn some skills.
You can't be unprepared if you want to preach, especially whether Wei Shu, Wu Mei, or Cheng Yang are not from ordinary people.
They were either born in official families, or their families were rich. Chengyang was born in the royal family, and he was born with no worries about food and clothing. They rarely encountered the troubles of ordinary girls.
Wei Shu felt that if they preached rashly, it might not achieve good results, so it would be better to find out why they didn't come to study.
Wei Shu asked someone to find a group of business women in the city, not the kind who sit at home and enjoy wealth, but who run around with their husbands, and even sell some gadgets by themselves.
These business women suddenly heard that the queen-to-be was going to meet them, they were both surprised and happy, and they found out their most decent clothes and went to the academy. When they got outside the academy, they couldn't recognize that it was the desolate wilderness in the past few years. His Royal Highness Prince Teng had brought too many changes to Tengzhou. They felt that they were merchants, so they didn't dare to go to the academy too much. , for fear of disturbing the quietness of scholars.
Reading has always been a very precious thing in the eyes of ordinary people.
When they arrived at the reception hall of the academy, all the business women filed in, and soon saw the queen-to-be, Wei Shu, who was waiting in the hall.
In the eyes of many people, Wei Shu has always appeared as a "quasi princess", and then some people remembered that she was Wei Zheng's granddaughter and the youngest female Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty.
This time they had the opportunity to be interviewed by Wei Shu, and these business women had a deep impression on Wei Shu at first glance.
When she stood with His Highness Prince Teng, everyone felt that they were a pair of golden boy and jade girl, and they were a perfect match. But when she appeared alone in front of people, her unique temperament appeared.
She looks different from most girls, she is calm and confident, even if she has not married into the royal family, even if she does not have the status of Princess Teng, she can do these things well now. No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Teng likes this princess-to-be so much!
All the business women admired in their hearts, and they all stepped forward to salute.
Wei Shu is not yet a concubine, so she would not accept their gifts, so she got up and greeted them to sit separately, and asked someone to bring tea, melon and fruit, so polite that the businesswomen were flattered.
When all the people arrived, Wei Shu briefly talked about the enrollment problems encountered by the girls' school, hoping that they could understand the reasons why girls did not come to school when they went out to sell goods with their husbands, so that they could prescribe the right medicine to find a solution.
After the winter, only merchants walked around. I heard that it was such a simple request, and all the merchant women agreed to it, and told Wei Shu the facts they knew——
Needless to say, the little ladies in the city began to think about finding a husband's family at the age of seven or eight, and spent the next few years preparing for marriage. Kaimeng had a female wife invited by the family or his own mother to teach him personally, and he had to learn from female celebrities, study Taking care of the housework, he would not go out to study.
As for the little lady in the farmer's family, she has to be busy from the age of six or seven. She can't do the work in the field, mows the grass to feed the pigs, drives the ducks to feed the chickens and herds the cows, and also gets help in the kitchen or sewing. Mending work.
These things seem to be piecemeal, but in fact they take a lot of time, enough to keep people busy all day. When you grow up, you have to look after others, get married early and have children.
You must know that a man is a young man at the age of twenty, and he will go out to perform labor or military service. He does not know if he will encounter any accidents after leaving home. The face may be that the incense will be cut off!
So, reading or something is time-consuming and expensive, why should girls go? If you have to let the children in the family go to study, then you must hand over all the housework to the girls and let the boys study. If the boys can read the books, they will be able to honor their ancestors.
It's just a girl, no matter how good the book is, it belongs to someone else's family, and helping other people have children has nothing to do with my own family!
Wei Shu was not surprised when she heard these words. If her grandfather did not love her, and if it was not Li Yuanying who made the marriage contract with her, she would not be able to live as easily as she is now.
She asked the business women a lot of things they wanted to know, and then solemnly asked them to go to various townships and counties to learn more about the situation.
If possible, it would be best to help explain the preferential treatment and bright prospects that can be enjoyed by entering a women's school.
This matter is done by business women who often walk around the streets and alleys to get real feedback. They can only get a trembling and insincere response when they ask it in person. Some words are only suitable for persuading business women.
Wei Shu sincerely entrusted her, and the business women were even more flattered, and they immediately agreed to Wei Shu's request. Some of them were also from farming households, and they married into merchant households early because their families could not make ends meet, and traveled around with their husbands to earn some hard-earned money. Put yourself in the shoes of Wei Shu and the others, if they were in the position of Wei Shu and the others, they would just stretch out their clothes, open their mouths for food, and enjoy the rich life surrounded by servants. They only need to worry about what clothes to wear, hairpins, and who to invite Enjoying flowers together, how can you bother to do such a thankless thing
All the merchant women left the academy, and they were all going back to pick a daughter of the right age to study in the women's school. Just now Wei Shu told them that the academy never rejects the children of merchants, and the daughters of merchants can also come to study.
When it comes to this, of course they have to make a positive statement! Of course, they all have a little hope in their hearts, hoping that their daughter can learn one ten-thousandth of Wei Shu's benefits, and in the future they can choose a husband who is one-ten-thousandth as good as His Royal Highness Prince Teng!
After the autumn harvest, each family has to buy more or less winter supplies, and shopkeepers and business women also go to various towns and villages to sell in the cold autumn wind.
Shopkeepers and businesswomen are the best at talking, and they can chat with anyone. The strange thing is that their topics are very consistent this time. They all ask how many daughters each family has, and do they go to school
When they heard that none of the families sent them, they began to brag, saying that the women's school in Tengzhou Academy not only takes care of food and drink, but also gets money from the family if they study well. If there are smart girls in the family, they must send them. Earn more than planing food all year round! I heard that the academy still takes care of the clothes, and the materials are all of the highest quality. The custodians have never touched such fine materials in their entire lives!
It is said that the shopkeeper's mouth is a deceitful ghost, but they said it vividly, and their mother-in-law was still helping to say that they were going to send their daughters early when the girls recruited students in the next spring, and many people were tempted.
As long as there is no turmoil and does not affect their food, the farmers are very honest. They work hard and tend their own crops all year round. Even if they have heard of some things, they still feel far away from themselves, and never put them on themselves.
Hearing what the shopkeepers said, it seems that sending a girl to study is not a loss! If you send the smartest one in your family, maybe you can send money back. And I heard that the most outstanding children from Tengzhou City and neighboring states are all studying in Tengzhou Academy. If my daughter tidies up and catches the eyes of good people's children, wouldn't she be able to marry high
All the families closed their doors for a while to discuss whether to send a daughter to a girls' school. The family cannot do without people, so we can't send them all, but if there are many daughters, it's okay to send one or two. Cheng Huilai happened to marry someone, and saved the money to support them, so he won't lose money!
Regarding the fact that Wei Shu personally interviewed a group of business women, everyone had discussed it in private.
Among the scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are at the bottom of the ranking, and the status of merchants is lowered by a few points. Even if they earn a little money, they cannot wear good materials or ride in a large carriage. Wei Shu is the Queen Teng, how can she lower her status to those Business woman talking? However, it was not a day or two for Li Yuanying to praise the businessman. Although everyone murmured in their hearts, no one would say anything in person. They just felt that Teng Wang and his wife were really not particular at all!
Li Yuanying is really not a particular person. Since ordinary propaganda methods are not feasible, it is really a way for people to use the most popular and direct method to persuade the people. He asked Wei Shu: "If there are more people coming, are you busy?"
Wu Mei is in charge of the entire academy, while Wei Shu and Chengyang are in charge of a smaller area, in charge of the women's school. Li Yuanying wants to expand the enrollment next year, but Li Yuanying is afraid of trouble.
Wei Shu said: "With the experience of the previous two years, it is not a problem to have several times more people."
Li Yuanying was mainly afraid that Wei Shu and the others would be tired. Seeing that Wei Shu was full of energy and confidence, he would not stop him. He patted his chest and said that if anyone wanted money, just ask, as long as he had what he had, he would definitely do it.
The two sides have to make preparations in time for the beginning of spring, so it is obviously the most leisurely winter, but the young couple are too busy to touch the ground, and they only get tired of talking together when they meet.
Li Yuanying was so busy that he sent his letter to His Majesty Li Er back to Chang'an.
His Majesty Li Er disposed of an old department, and married a daughter, with a stern face every day, showing no signs of happiness or anger.
Changsun Wuji and others felt that this day was a bit difficult, mainly because they didn't know whether His Majesty Li Er was happy or unhappy, whether he approved or not.
Compared with such His Majesty Li Er, they still would rather pinch their noses and watch His Majesty Li Er happily boast from time to time, "I am so awesome, sometimes I can even do the work of the general." At that time, although His Majesty Li Er was a little It's too frightening, but at any rate, I'm in a good mood, so that it won't be unpredictable.
Fortunately, at this time, the messenger who delivered the letter to Li Yuanying came back.
Delivering the letter to His Majesty Li Er, the speed cannot be slow, the messenger rushed all the way there and then back to Chang'an. As a result, he was urged to meet His Majesty Li Er before he could sit down and rest his feet.
This treatment shocked the messenger, and he brought the letter into the palace anxiously.
His Majesty Li Er heard that there was a letter from Tengzhou, and asked someone to bring in the messenger. Instead of reading the letter immediately, he asked about the situation in Tengzhou. Li Yuanying can ask Lu Zhaolin to see if he is skinny or not, as an elder brother, he has to do his best to see what he has done to Tengzhou.
The messenger told in detail what he had seen and heard along the way, from not seeing Li Yuanying at the beginning to seeing Li Yuanying cutting a few ears of rice in the field, from Tengzhou's good law and order to the lively night market, everything was mentioned without omission.
Even if there was Changsun Wuji, who had been suspicious of Li Yuanying for a hundred years, everyone felt that Li Yuanying was very sensible and did decent things.
His Majesty Li Er also nodded straightly when he heard it, and asked someone to present Li Yuanying's letter, and sent the messenger to lean on the table to open it.
Changsun Wuji and the others began to concentrate on looking at the official documents in their hands, instead of spying on His Majesty Li Er's reaction to the letter, for fear that they would be the first to be named by His Majesty Li Er to share a letter from his precious brother.
Although it has to be shared, it will be happier to see other people's fun first!
His Majesty Li Er was quite relieved when he heard the messenger talk about the situation in Tengzhou just now. He felt that his younger brother had finally grown up and stopped messing around. Sooner or later, he would become a good prince of the Tang Dynasty who would benefit one side. After he finished reading Li Yuanying's letter, his complexion darkened instantly. Seeing that he was not angry, the kid started making demands again!
See what this is saying? Regardless of who is engaged in astronomy and geography, farmland water conservancy, or other talents, give him a dozen, and he will take as much as you give!
His Majesty Li Er was very angry.
When Li Yuanying left Beijing, he wiped out most of the talents selected by his imperial examinations, and even recruited a group of people from the Hongwen Museum.
With such a small piece of land in Tengzhou, how dare he continue to ask for someone? !
He wants to do a good job in enlightenment and local development, so don't he think about other places? He wants to leave all the talents, and if every town and every county in his fief gets famous scholars, it will surely flourish and be great!
With so many talents, where can it be bad
His Majesty Li Er slapped the table and scolded: "This bastard!"
Changsun Wuji and others immediately asked what happened to His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er glanced at them, and repeated Li Yuanying's request: He wants talents, and he wants all kinds of talents. If the court has any unnecessary talents, just allocate them to Tengzhou, no matter if they are bad-tempered or unpopular, as long as they have the ability, just let them come to Tengzhou!
Changsun Wuji's face twitched.
Changsun Wuji's thoughts were very consistent with His Majesty Li Er's: Li Yuanying has already taken away enough people, but he is still not satisfied, what a shame!
When several people discussed it, they all felt that a bastard like Li Yuanying should not be tolerated, otherwise he would definitely have the idea of moving the entire imperial court there next time.
His Majesty Li Er wrote another letter to scold Li Yuanying, but when he was walking in the forbidden garden in the evening, thinking of Li Yuanying's frequent walks with him when he was in Chang'an, he felt that it would not be good not to give anyone. After all, Li Yuanying wanted to Doing something that is beneficial to people's livelihood still needs to be supported.
Since he had just scolded Li Yuanying as an asshole in front of Wei Zheng and the others, His Majesty Li Er couldn't repent so quickly, he still wanted to save face. So he called Li Chunfeng and asked him to make a list and select a group of people who met Li Yuanying's requirements to go to Tengzhou. Li Chunfeng and Li Yuanying had a good relationship, and he would definitely be able to pick suitable people.
His Majesty Li Er sullenly ordered Li Chunfeng: "Don't pick so many, just within a hundred, let them go to Tengzhou with Gao Yang and the others at the end of the month."
After Li Chunfeng got the order, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: The imperial court only selects a few people every time the imperial examination is held. Is it not enough to pick a hundred from the imperial court at one time? When Changsun Wuji and the others find out, they will explode!
With the emperor's order above, Li Chunfeng didn't say much, and happily drew up a list for His Majesty Li Er, and selected a group of talents from all aspects that Li Yuanying requested.
His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied after reading it. He thought it was good. There were not many high-grade ones, so it was not too out of the ordinary.
His Majesty Li Er calmly added these people to the see-off list.
Fang Xuanling didn't know what His Majesty Li Er was doing, until the list made by His Majesty Li Er was sent to him and asked him to stamp and sign it, and then he found out that His Majesty Li Er secretly helped Li Yuanying dig the corner of the court .
Even though Fang Xuanling had a good temper, he was still so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and immediately took the list to find Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, and let them see what His Majesty Li Er was up to!
Is it easy for the court to recruit talents
Is it easy to select talents through the imperial examination
His Majesty Li Er sent a hundred of them to Li Yuanying with a swipe of his pen. Is there anyone who has defeated the imperial family like him? He didn't do the job of selecting and training Ganqing, so he didn't feel bad at all, did he
Tengzhou is such a big place, is it necessary to give him a small imperial court? !
When Fang Xuanling presided over the reshuffle of the imperial court, when the number of people was the smallest, there were only more than 600 officials in Chang'an. Now His Majesty Li Er wants to send Li Yuanying 100 people with decent backgrounds to go there!
These two brothers are really amazing, one dares to ask for it, and the other really dares to give it!
The three old men aggressively went to see His Majesty Li Er, and asked His Majesty Li Er to give an explanation, or they would just sit in the meeting hall and not leave!
His Majesty Li Er felt a little headache when he saw this battle, so he crossed out half of the candidates in embarrassment, and reluctantly cut it down to fifty people. After the deletion, he still sighed: "Yuanying has been in the fiefdom for so long and never asked me for anything. It is rare for him to ask for it. Could it be that I didn't even satisfy his request? There was nothing to worry about when the father died. Yes, I just can't worry about this little boy, took my hand and entrusted him to me, asking me to treat him well... "
The three of Changsun Wuji looked at each other, and decided to admit it through gritted teeth.
If he didn't admit it, His Majesty Li Er would have to continue to sigh and say that their father, queen, and queen had passed away long ago, leaving them as brothers, so pitiful and helpless.
Li Yuanying used this trick once when he was in Chang'an, and they couldn't eat for several days after listening to the poor and helpless Xiaobaicai's speech.
Do you have a little cabbage like you who sit and enjoy the wealth of the world
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people!
The author has something to say: Little Prince: Although I am not in Chang'an, Chang'an is still full of my legends!
