After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

However, there are still a few brave wealthy businessmen who travel far and wide and will not stay in Kyoto for a long time.

When he saw a few handsome eunuchs, he became interested and found his servants, disguised as family members to pick them up. In this way, they were taken out of Kyoto in full view of everyone.

The common people were just watching the fun and had no idea of ​​the specific situation, but all this could not be hidden from the "eyes" on the city wall.

Within a cup of tea, this matter reached His Majesty's ears.

"Follow them secretly and investigate their backgrounds. If there are any problems, have An Yi send someone to handle it!"

These eunuchs are like bait, and their ultimate value can only be realized when someone takes the bait.

Those who had no value simply "sold" the eunuchs and finally survived!

And what these people experienced was only the lightest punishment.

Those who were found to have secretly murdered the former queen and concubines would not only be put to death, but would also be subject to rounds of "trials".

Some trial methods are cruel and only involve physical harm, while others are worse than death and involve mental torture.

The trial methods for these people were passed down from the imperial palace of the previous dynasty, and were in no way inferior to the trials in the death row of the Ministry of Justice.

There are even punishments tailor-made for eunuchs, which are more targeted...

The length of the trial determines their distance from death.

Those who went in, from being tough at first, became people who wanted to die.

They are not exempt from death in order to provide effective information, because everyone knows that their only destination is death.

Providing valuable information faster can just make your death "easier".

The complete list of names that was revealed was known only to His Majesty from beginning to end. It included many officials of all ranks, and even several imperial merchants who controlled the economic lifeline of Kyoto.

It goes without saying that people from aristocratic families are among them.

However, due to the pressure of the newly established dynasty, Your Majesty could not deal with it easily and could only deal with some insignificant officials.

However, this also gives Your Majesty the opportunity to reshuffle the structure of Kyoto.

For example, allowing the children of poor families, led by the Han family, to rise to power.

Because there were many vacancies in the harem, His Majesty seemed to have been prepared early and quickly sent people to arrange replacements.

These people came from the nine clans of innocent people who had never committed any crime, and some came from humble backgrounds.

A single poor family is not the best candidate, because they are most likely to be bribed by people from wealthy families.

Most of these people from humble backgrounds were promoted and had some support in the court.

In the complicated relationships among relatives and neighbors, there is always a connection.

It is impossible for Your Majesty to keep the palace clean as you wish, so it is better to let both sides play games.

Just like in the court, checks and balances are important.

Then, within this balance of power, you can cultivate your own confidants and give them time to grow.

And those elderly maids are one of them.

Those who had passed a round of screening after the death of the previous queen became favorites in the eyes of His Majesty and were assigned to various places in the harem to become the people in charge.

None of them were assigned to concubines in the harem.

Some of the concubines in the harem also tried to please His Majesty, but nothing ended well in the end, even the current queen is no exception.

Not only did they not get any share, but these concubines also accepted the teachings of these maids.

Those of lower status can be beaten and scolded at will.

Those who were in high positions were all smart people and they were extremely respectful to these old ladies.

As they grew older, His Majesty also gave them the authority to train their own people to serve as successors after their retirement and to share His Majesty's worries.

Those maids were old, but fortunately they had enough experience and quickly trained a group of people that satisfied His Majesty.

These people now also have jobs in the harem.

As for those old maids, His Majesty showed them enough courtesy and allowed them to return to their hometown to live out their days.

The master who taught the girl from the Bai family was one of them.

The Bai family's status in the court was not low to begin with, and they opened the Jishiditang among the people, with the mission of curing illnesses and saving lives.

Although the old patriarch of the Bai family used all means to consolidate the status of the Bai family, these benefits were truly delivered to the people.

Many sick people were able to buy medicinal materials at low prices and receive treatment using traditional medical techniques, which invisibly saved many lives.

In Kyoto, the only family that can be compared to this family with both fame and wealth is the Chu family, the mother's family of the current queen.

Aristocratic families don’t look at money, they look at background.

The Chu family is considered a holy place in the hearts of literati, leading the rise and fall of the literary world.

The reputation of the Bai family comes from one Jishidiang after another.

Although the old maids can no longer serve His Majesty, they are still happy to be teachers.

In such a family, the maids are also very willing to come and teach.

First, teachers are respected, and although they are not as influential as male imperial examination teachers, they still have influence among women;

Secondly, these old maids were used to working in the palace, and when they were idle, they became lazy and wanted to find something to do.

Finally, the skills they have are mostly aimed at the children of officials, and more specifically at the palace. The children of ordinary families are too far away from this circle, and it is better to teach these skills to others than to let them rot in their own minds.

Madam Su knew Bai's mother's background and was not surprised that she told him such information.

Without changing his expression, he continued, "That would be even better. Madam will teach you personally. I think Miss will be good in the future."

Bai's mother nodded in agreement and thought to herself: It's not bad now.

I recalled the days when I was taught by my nanny.

That year, I was about the same age as my youngest son is now.

My father was a book lover, and I was also brought up to learn at an early age.

When he was seven or eight years old, he was already able to recite many poems and essays fluently. Although he was not proficient in everything, he had achieved a good level of skill through persistent practice.

There is even a trend of surpassing the boys from the Jiang family.

She herself lives in the Jiang family and knows how difficult her parents' lives are. Even she herself is bullied by her cousins.

So, when she was very young, she dared not slack off.

He filled his schedule with courses every day, and even took the initiative to ask Jiang's father to find a female teacher for him to study with.

She works till midnight and wakes up at dawn, and she is really good every quarter of an hour.

She can write poetry and prose that men can, and she can also do needlework and embroidery that men cannot.

When the Jiang family's teaching nanny came, she was also full of expectations.

Not only because it would allow her to learn more, but also because she knew in her heart that this was what her grandfather, father, and mother valued most.

She also dreamed that her academic achievements would make her family proud of her.

However, from the very beginning of the course, Bai's mother's dream was shattered!
