The villain princess is three and a half years old

"I heard that when my family teacher was still alive, he once carried out an act of destroying the old folk custom of drowning girls in the capital. Now the capital and even the entire northern part of the Great Xia Kingdom have greatly reduced the occurrence of such tragedies.

"But the situation is still the same in the south. I believe that it is extremely important to continue to promote the elimination of the old folk customs in the south."

Pei Shuyan's words fell.

The entire court hall was suddenly silent.

Emperor Xuanping looked a little embarrassed.

Just because of such a thing, he has experienced it before.

The reason why the old national teacher would break the old folk custom of drowning girls in the capital was also because something happened in the palace.

And this matter, the older courtiers have also heard of it.

"Pei Aiqing spoke very well."

Emperor Xuanping quickly calmed down, and said, "When the old national teacher was here, he made many measures that benefited the country and the people. I wonder if Pei Aiqing has any specific good strategies for this memorial?

"After all, folk customs and customs are not achieved overnight, and the old folk customs are even more difficult to eradicate.

"Especially the south is far away from the capital, so what they do in the capital may not affect them."

When he said this, the courtiers nodded in agreement.

Pei Shuyan has a plan in mind.

I just heard him say: "What the emperor said is true, but I have a plan. I dare not say that it will be useful, but it will definitely be effective."

"What's the plan?"

"To run a school, girls who have reached the age of three must go to school. Every three months, all regions must provide the imperial court with a list of girls enrolled in school. The imperial court can also set a number of girls enrolled in school according to the number of drowned girls in various places every year. , forcing officials from all over the country to issue orders not to allow girls to be drowned, otherwise they will be punished severely," Pei Shuyan said.

When he said this, the courtiers immediately talked about it.

"Is it really possible to do this?"

"Even if these girls go to school at an early age, what can they do when they grow up? Don't they still have to marry and raise their children?"

"The most important thing is that it costs money to run a school, and these girls also need to spend money to go to school. It's okay if the family has money, but if they don't have money, they can't afford to go to school at all. So what should I do?"

Pei Shuyan listened to their discussion.

Soon, he said again: "The questions raised by the ministers, I also have a countermeasure, that is, if the girls are drowned, they will be fined multiple times according to their family property. If the girls are raised and sent to school , then give a certain reward.

"If the family is really poor and can't afford to go to school, girls can be allowed not to go to school, but they must never drown again.

"In short, it is to let them know that they may not be able to afford the price of drowning a girl!"

The courtiers listened, and soon there were many voices of opposition.

It is nothing more than to say that such a mandatory policy will inevitably arouse the resentment of the people.

In this regard.

Pei Shuyan took a deep breath, and began to tell the instigator of today's memorial, what Yu Jiujiu asked him to say: "Then what if the princess in the palace also goes to school?

"As long as the imperial court vigorously promotes it, saying that even the most favored and youngest princess in the palace will be sent out of the palace to study by the emperor.

"The folks will gradually feel that if the emperor sets an example, they can follow suit."

His voice fell.

Emperor Xuanping was taken aback.

But soon, he glared at Pei Shuyan. Although he didn't speak immediately, he asked Pei Shuyan silently with his eyes if he was sent by Yu Jiujiu at all!

Pei Shuyan looked sincere and innocent.

Emperor Xuanping immediately supported his forehead with a headache.

"Your Majesty, this veteran thinks that this plan is feasible."

At this time, Jiang Xiang, who had no knowledge of Yu Jiujiu's desire to go out to study in the palace, agreed and said, "A few days ago, the little grandson of the old minister followed Princess Lingfu to the south. On the way, I saw a rich family member drowning a girl. Behavior, the drowning of young children in poor families, maybe we can't control it.

"But at least those from rich families can punish this kind of behavior with heavy money to restrain it.

"As long as detailed policies and rules are formulated, I believe that gradually, this bad custom in the south will definitely change.

"If the emperor agrees to this plan, then the Jiang family is willing to contribute money and efforts to assist the little national teacher to implement this policy.

"The Jiang family is also willing to send the young girls in the family to study in the school."

Jiang Xiang's voice fell.

Shen Mofeng, the emperor's teacher who ran a school at home, put forward different opinions: "The old minister thinks it's inappropriate. These girls who are only three or four years old can't do anything. They need adults to take care of them and let them go to school. , When it comes to school, who will take care of it?

"They are young, I am afraid they can't even hold a pen well, how can they read?

"You know, not all children of this age are as smart as Princess Ling Fu."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiang couldn't help smiling like an old fox.

"The emperor's words made the old minister suddenly have an idea. The Yunmeng Academy founded by the emperor himself is famous all over the world. There are many southern aristocratic families who send their talented juniors to the capital to go to Yunmeng. Study in the palace.

"Then if Yunmeng Academy takes the lead in setting up an infant school, other schools and academies will surely follow suit.

"They are so young, of course, it is impossible to really come to study, the most important thing, isn't it for their parents to stop drowning girls?

"As for who will take care of these young children, in my opinion, it is entirely possible to hire their mothers, those who have experience and can take care of children. In this way, they send their children to kindergartens, and the women at home can also Liberate, go out to work and make money."

The more Jiang Xiang talked, the more vigorous he became.

It is worthy of being a very rich businessman in the family.

The way his eyes are shining, it seems that he has discovered a huge business opportunity.

Seeing him like this, Pei Shuyan completely understood why the Jiang family was so rich, it was entirely a family inheritance, and it would be counted, just like Xiao Naituan, although he didn't do business, but he knew it well at a young age.

No, let him be counted on today, and obediently work his life in this court for her ideal of going out to study in the palace.

The emperor teacher heard the veins on his forehead bulge.

"As the prime minister, Jiang Xiang always smells of copper all over his body. He is simply unworthy to be a prime minister!" Shen Mo Feng was very displeased.

"Although the emperor's teacher is the emperor's teacher, his vision is always too narrow and not long-term enough. It is really in vain to be the emperor's teacher!" Jiang Xiang hid the knife with a smile on his face.

The two started arguing like this.

Now the Regent has abdicated and returned home.

In the court, there was one less person who quarreled with them.

But Emperor Xuanping still had a headache when he heard it.

He said quickly, "Okay."

Jiang Xiang and the emperor stared at each other and stopped.

"This matter is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. I think it is feasible." God knows, Emperor Xuanping said this with extreme reluctance.

Because he suspected that Xiao Jiu'er and Pei Shuyan were in collusion.

The purpose is to get him to agree to her going out to study in the palace!
