After the rain stopped, Lu Yan and Chen Ping went to the fields to search for them, and they actually found a few that were not drowned. Lu Yan was overjoyed and quickly collected them.

This year's cold weather was not as early as last year, so the grain harvest was OK. About two months after the autumn harvest, the prince arrived.

The prince came with a large group this time. When the old couple of the Lu family got off the carriage holding little Lu Zhao, Lu Sheng was obviously much more excited. Although it was expected, after all, they hadn't seen each other for two years. The old man Lu and Xu held Lu Sheng and Lu Yan's hands and were reluctant to let go.

This time, in addition to the three people from the Lu family, there were more than 40 people following the prince's team. Lu Yan was a little curious and asked who these people were.

"The exiled criminal." The prince said, "In the past two years, my father has been following the clues to find the remnants of those who colluded with the second son. This year, he finally found almost all of them. Those who formed a clique for personal gain have been arrested. This is the one sentenced to exile. I was asked to bring him here and send him to General Yuan."

Lu Yan suddenly realized what was going on, and subconsciously looked at the criminals who had followed along. Each of them looked pale, thin, and exhausted. Lu Yan glanced at them inadvertently, but was suddenly stunned.

There was a woman there. Although she looked disheveled, she still looked very similar to Xiao Yu.

Lu Yan's mind quickly skipped over what Jian Hongling had told her when she came last year, and she asked the prince, "Is there a family of the Minister of Personnel here?"

The prince nodded, a little surprised: "How do you know? Did you know him when you were in the capital?"

Lu Yan shook her head and told him about Xiao Yu. The prince was a little worried after hearing this: "Does your subordinate still want to recognize them now? But even if he wants to, he can't give them to you."

Lu Yan nodded: "I know that, don't worry, we won't make such excessive demands."

There is a special place for exiled prisoners, further north of the military camp, and they cannot leave the place without a pardon. Lu Yan knew this.

Lu Yan thought about it and asked the prince to take the troops back to the garrison first, and not rush to the north. The prince left with his men, and Lu Yan decided to ask Xiao Yu what he thought first.

Xiao Yu was still confused when he was called: "Miss Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Yan waved her hand and asked him to sit down: "Let me ask you, do you still remember the girl from the capital who mentioned the Minister of Personnel to you last year?"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment: "I remember."

Lu Yan continued to tell him: "The family of the Minister of Personnel committed a crime and was sentenced to exile. Now they are following the Crown Prince to the place of exile. Do you still want to recognize them?"

When Xiao Yu heard the news, he was stunned at first, then silent. After thinking for a while, he said, "I didn't want to recognize them when they were still officials in the capital, but now that they have fallen into such a state, I should still help them..."

"Good boy, I knew you would think so." Lu Yan said, "Their place of exile is not far from the military camp. If you want to help them, I will let you and Lao Yu go back, and you can ask General Yuan to assign me two more skilled kung fu masters. You two can go back to the Northern Frontier Army and look after them more often in the future."

Xiao Yu thought about it and nodded: "Miss Lu, you are really thoughtful."

Lu Yan added, "I will go to see the prince tomorrow. You come with me. When you get there, meet their family first. You don't have to mention recognizing your relatives or anything like that. They will understand when they see you. Just say hello and recognize your face."

Xiaoyu agreed.

The next day, Lu Yan took Xiao Yu straight to the station where the prince and his men were stationed. The prince came out to greet them, and when he saw Xiao Yu's face, he immediately understood why Lu Yan was so sure, and pointed Xiao Yu in a direction: "The fugitives are all over there, you can just go straight there."

Prince Yu Yuchong bowed and left in a hurry.

The prince turned to look at Lu Yan and said, "You came at the right time. I was just about to look for you. The research funding you applied for has been approved by the emperor. It's three thousand taels a year. I'll get the banknotes for you later."

Lu Yan's eyes lit up and she laughed, "That's great. I came to you today to show you what I made."

The prince also laughed: "You made something new again?"

"Not only have we made them, but we've also put them to use. I guarantee you'll like them after you see them." Lu Yan said, "We've also recently built a college. I'll take you to the college to have a look."

The prince raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You also opened a school? Are you a good enough teacher?"

"This academy is different from that academy. I don't ask students to take the imperial examinations, so I don't need teachers who are very knowledgeable." Lu Yan explained: "I opened the academy mainly to teach them to recognize common characters and master some basic knowledge. In short, it is to eliminate illiteracy."

The prince repeated, "Literacy?"

Lu Yan nodded: "Eliminate illiteracy."

The prince clapped his hands and exclaimed: "What a brilliant phrase! The entire Dali Dynasty should be free of illiteracy."

Lu Yan neither agreed nor disagreed, and said with a half-smile: "Then you work hard."

She is a person who has experienced modern society. She knows that the country has spent many years to achieve universal literacy, which is not an easy task. But it is good that the ruler has this intention, which is much better than ignoring it.

Before leaving, Lu Yan and the prince left a message for Xiao Yu, telling him to just go back when he was done.

Lu Yan took the prince to the academy. When they saw large pieces of transparent glass outside the classroom building, the prince was shocked: "Is this... colored glass???"

"Glass." Lu Yan corrected, "It's very cheap. Otherwise, how could I install such a big piece in each room?"

The prince was so excited that he couldn't speak: "Do you know that the glass of your clarity is worth a thousand gold in the capital. You...made it at a very low cost?"

Lu Yan nodded: "I'm just about to take you to see how it's made."

I vow to carry out the disenchantment to the end!
