Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

My son has a different idea.

Liu Ling has been detained and is under strict supervision by Chang En's confidants.

Emperor Wende looked at Liu Zhao, Tell me what you think.

Emperor Wende was in a good mood at this time, and if his confidant was arrested, he could sit back and relax.

I think it's better to kill Liu Ling directly. Keeping him will be a future trouble after all. Besides, he always likes to yell. I'm afraid that he will talk too much and slip up.

Liu only speaks bluntly.

Emperor Wende looked at Chang En.

Chang En nodded slightly, To prevent him from talking nonsense, I will keep his mouth shut.

Can it be stopped? Do you want to kill a group of people who can hear him every time he speaks? After killing the proper people, who else can look after him?

Liu Zhao refuted Chang En.

It was impossible to keep Liu Ling's mouth shut. He always eats and drinks.

Chang En broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at Emperor Wende, Your Majesty, do you want to... and pulled out Liu Ling's tongue.

Emperor Wende looked hesitant.

Liu Ling's existence must never be known.

Liu Zhao said loudly, Father, Liu Ling's identity has been confirmed, so keeping him is unnecessary. As for those rebels, they are at the end of their strength and will be wiped out sooner or later.

Do the rebels know that you captured Liu Ling?

Maybe he knew, or maybe he didn't know. Erchen did it very secretly, and didn't interrogate him on the way. Even the people around Erchen didn't know Liu Ling's true identity.

Emperor Wende narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was guessing what Liu Zhao meant by saying that.

Are you reassuring him?

Emperor Wende laughed, and had to say that as long as Liu Zhao had a sense of humor, he would become very pleasing to the eye.

Emperor Wende looked at the Shaofu Jialing, Jialing, what do you think of this matter?

The Shaofu family order bowed and said: If Your Majesty wants to save Liu Ling's life, he can be deposed as a monk and assigned special guards.

Emperor Wende played with a jade jade,

He laughed, There's no need to lose your hair and become a monk. I can still see an abandoned son of the royal family. I said that if I want to put the heads of his family's wives and children in front of him, I will definitely do what I say. I want Let him know that if he dares to rebel, I will make his life worse than death!

As soon as the death word came out, Emperor Wende glanced at Liu Zhao intentionally or unintentionally, and the hall was extremely quiet.

Liu Zhao bowed and said: I am willing to relieve my father's worries and arrest the family, wives and children of the traitor Liu Ling.

It's a trivial matter, why do you need the dignified prince to go out in person. I know your filial piety.

Liu Zhao immediately laughed, Actually, I'm not willing to go. What I said just now was all about the scene. Since it rained in Jiangling Mansion, the weather has become extremely humid. I'm not used to the weather there. A lot of suffering, very tired. My body is itchy and painful. Should the emperor give my son some soup and medicine?

Emperor Wende laughed angrily, Are you talking about the scene with me? Do you know that you are deceiving the emperor.

Liu Zhao chuckled, In front of my father, I always have something to say. My son is still thinking about Xiao Jiu and the children. Father, why don't you order the family order to give me the money now, and I will give you money. I have to hurry out of the palace and go to the mountain.

Shaofu's family ordered his beard to shake, Why do you ask Shaofu to give you money? Your Highness is going too far.

Liu Zhao bared his teeth, and ordered the Shaofu's family to have fun, Who made the Shaofu rich? My Highness went out to buy food and arrest people. The journey cost a lot. The Shaofu can make up for the deficit. In addition , the father should also reward his son, nothing else, just give money.

Wende was overjoyed, Are you so short of money? Isn't the money Gu Jiu earns enough for you to spend?

Liu Zhao said solemnly: The money Xiaojiu earns is her dowry. I am a big man, how can I use a woman's money. Besides, the children are growing up day by day. As a father, I can't keep them. Give them a big debt. Anyway, I have to save some property for a few children, so that they know that I am working hard to earn money for them.

Emperor Wende chuckled, It's really dark, just like Gu Jiu, they got into Qian's eyes. You step back first!

Son's money?

I won't lose you a penny. I still don't give up.

Liu Zhao bowed to leave, and when he left, he winked at the Shaofu's order. Tomorrow he will go to Shaofu to ask for money.

Shaofu's order is a little stuffed.

Did he owe Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao the couple?

This brat, he talked with me about money as soon as he came back. I think he is poor and crazy. Emperor Wende complained.

The Shaofu family order said with a smile: His Royal Highness has a lot of expenses, and it is normal that the money is not enough. Fortunately, he asked His Majesty for money in an open and honest manner, instead of running around in private and using power for personal gain.

Emperor Wende laughed for a while, and said: Liu Zhao has a bad temper and speaks aggressively. The advantage is that he is reliable in his work and does not use his power for personal gain. Anyway, Gu Jiu can make money, so he doesn't have to go around for money.

The Shaofu family order said: Shanhe Academy is supported by Mrs. Zhao alone, and the monthly expenses are huge. It is estimated that the husband and wife really don't have much money left.

Emperor Wende nodded, Gu Jiu set up Shanhe Academy, allowing students from all over the world to study for free, benefiting a large number of poor students. This move is commendable. If rich people are like Gu Jiu, they still think about the people's livelihood after making money , I can save a lot of worry. I remember that there were more than 20 students from Shanhe Academy who passed the examination last year.

Chang En hurriedly said, There are twenty-three people in total.

I still remember that several of these twenty or so people came from poor peasant families. Others were not rich, and most of them came from common people's families. Very good, very good! The imperial court just needs more officials with such backgrounds. The children of official families cannot be allowed to control the court and monopolize the imperial examinations.

The Shaofu Jialing nodded again and again, Your Majesty's words are true. The rich will always be rich, and the poor will always be poor, because the rich almost monopolize the imperial examinations. In the past few decades, when the two candidates were combined, those who came from poor peasant families and ordinary people's families There are less than one hundred people, which is really worrying.

Is it less than a hundred people? Emperor Wende's face changed when he heard the number.

That is to say, over the past few decades, 99% of the two lists of Jinshi who add up to thousands of people are born in official and wealthy families.

No wonder the people are getting poorer, but the rich are getting richer.

The Shaofu Jialing also said, In just a few years, Shanhe Academy has allowed 23 more Jinshi from peasant and common people's families. It’s that they don’t have the opportunity to study, and they don’t have the opportunity to meet good teachers.”

Emperor Wende nodded again and again, The old ancestor meant to break the existing rules of the Imperial College?

If we want more rural children to study, take the imperial examination, and serve the court, the most fundamental thing is to change the state of county schools. Guozijian is just a side effect.

It's hard! Emperor Wende let out a helpless sigh.

What His Majesty said is true. This requires the court to invest a large amount of money.

However, with the current income and expenditure situation of the Ministry of Households, it is not easy to pay officials' salaries on time and meet the needs of the army.

Spending one million taels every year to develop basic education can only rely on dreams.

Basic education cannot be developed overnight.

It takes year after year, ten years, or twenty years to see results.

too slow!

The investment is simply too much.

If peasant children want to study, they still have to rely on their family members.

Because of this, the Shanhe Academy run by Gu Jiu is particularly precious.

Not only is reading free, but even food, clothing, housing, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all free.

With so many students, the annual expenses may cost millions of taels.

The Shaofu family order said: Madam Zhao opened Shanhe Academy to benefit the scholars, the imperial court, and the Great Zhou Dynasty. The expenses involved are very high, probably not less than one million taels a year. No wonder the Highness looks poor and crazy.

Huh?

is that so?

Emperor Wende asked: Shanhe Academy needs millions of taels a year? Are there so many?

The Shaofu family order said seriously: Your Majesty does not know that everything for the students of Shanhe Academy is free, from food, clothing, housing to pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The teaching in the academy is hired with high salaries.

In addition, the academy built a library, which contains many rare and rare books, all of which were bought with money. All in all, for every penny spent by Shanhe Academy, Madam Zhao would lose one penny.

And Mrs. Zhao can hardly get a penny of profit from Shanhe Academy, and she can't even get a reputation. Because very few people know that the owner behind Shanhe Academy is actually Mrs. Zhao.

It's a massive ongoing expense that can overwhelm anyone. Only Mrs. Zhao has gritted her teeth and persevered all these years, and has made Shanhe Academy bigger and bigger, benefiting more and more students. In this way, it is not difficult to understand why His Majesty asked for money when he opened his mouth, but also asked for money when he kept his mouth shut.

The Shaofu family's orders were earnest and sincere, and they were justifying Gu Jiu's name.

Chang En secretly glanced at the Shaofu's family order, guessing in his heart that the Shaofu's family order has received so many benefits from Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao that he would spare no effort to help speak.

It's useless to say something like that out of someone else's mouth.

But from the mouth of Shaofu Jialing, the effect is very different.

The family order of the Shaofu was in charge of the money. He said that the annual expenses of Shanhe Academy were no less than one million taels, and Emperor Wende would definitely not doubt it.

How much does Shanhe Academy cost? Who knows?

It's not as if you just opened your mouth.

However, Chang En would not speak out the speculation in his heart.

He is a man of measure.

Know what to say and what not to say.

Emperor Wende tapped on the table lightly, Gu Jiu contributed money to open Shanhe Academy, which benefited countless scholars, so it should be commended. Liu Zhao has made great contributions to disaster relief and captured Liu Ling for me. I will not let the heroes feel cold. I know this well. , Old Ancestor, back down.

The Shaofu family order bowed to accept the order and exited the hall.

Emperor Wende asked Chang En, How will I judge Liu Zhao's merits?
