It was not yet dawn, and the gates of the city were not opened.

At the south gate of the capital, a hanging basket was placed on the city wall.

Liu Zhao felt that the hanging basket would harm his dignity, so he simply grabbed the rope with one hand and asked someone to pull him up.

On the city wall, he rode directly to the morning court.

This is how Liu Zhao lives outside the city, but still can go to the morning court on time.

It's just that it's hard for the city gate guard to go up to the wall on time every day to pull down the eldest prince.

At the same time, Liu Zhao's guards suffered.

They have to get up early.

Run forward and go to the city gate to meet Liu Zhao.

In the middle of the night, I dare not gallop on the streets of the capital.

The Jinwu Guard is not a vegetarian.

Running forward is the right time to exercise your body.

The only bad thing is that it is very cold in winter.

Relying on a rope, Liu Zhao strives to be a good courtier, a good son, a good husband, and a good father.

He didn't care at all how others discussed and guessed.

There were two more snowfalls in Beijing, and it was almost the end of the new year in a blink of an eye.

The yamen was on holiday, and Liu Zhao ended his hard days of going to the morning court every day.

Before the holiday, the household department sent half a year's grain.

This made the Imperial College very upset.

Guozijian, an academy run by the imperial court, has always been superior to others.

Shanhe Academy was founded privately. Even though the imperial examination results were good, it was still inferior in the eyes of everyone in the Imperial College.

Now the household department provides food to support the teachers and students of Shanhe Academy.

Doesn't it mean that Shanhe Academy will one day become a government-run academy similar to Guozijian?

Everyone in the Imperial College was very angry and panicked.

For those who celebrate the New Year, they are not at home so they can take a good rest and run around all day, asking for news.

The Ministry of Households sent food to Shanhe Academy,

What do they mean?

Just to send food?

Or is it that the imperial court intends to support Shanhe Academy? This

Some people inquired about the news and got in front of Gu Jiu.

Huang Qubing had nothing to do, so he ran to the mountain to chat with Liu Zhao, but he was actually looking for Gu Jiu for advice.

Liu Zhao disliked Huang Qubing very much.

Among so many cousins, Huang Qubing is the least motivated one. Unfortunately, he is the one who lives the most unrestrained life.

Everyone knows that he has been in poor health since he was a child, so they love him very much.

As a bitter child whose mother does not love her father and does not love her, Liu Zhao, who grew up wildly like a weed, was set off by Huang Qubing, making her even more miserable.

He can get used to seeing Huang Qubing, that's really a ghost.

He reminded Huang Qubing, Ma'am is weak, so please don't say a few words. Don't bother him if you have nothing to do. Otherwise, you will look good.

Huang Qubing was still playing handsome with a folding fan in winter. He smiled and said, Don't worry, cousin. I also hope that my wife will recover soon.

Liu Zhao left reluctantly, and went out with his subordinates.

Huang Qubing teased Gu Jiu, His Majesty was well trained by Madam, what's the secret?

Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, It's such a cold day, why don't you stay in the room, what are you doing outside?

It's the end of the year, so I have to come and see you. Secondly, because the Ministry of Households sent food to Shanhe Academy, there was a lot of trouble at the Imperial College. Many people came to me and wanted to find out inside information. I couldn't shirk it, so I had to ask Madam in front of.

Gu Jiu laughed, There is no inside information. The Ministry of Households' food is a reward from His Majesty for running the school for many years.

It's that simple?

Gu Jiu nodded, That's right, it's that simple. How complicated do you think it can be. It's not like you don't know what His Majesty's temperament is. Is it possible to let the Ministry of Households pay to support so many teachers and students?

Huang Qubing shook his head, of course it is impossible.

It costs a lot of money to raise scholars.

The expenses of a scholar can support ten or twenty people.

Raising thousands of teachers and students is equivalent to raising tens of thousands of people with money.

A man as stingy as Emperor Wende would not be so generous.

And the household department doesn't have that much money.

Huang Qubing asked: So, it is impossible for Shanhe Academy to become government-run?

Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, Which government-run academy can have the scale of Shanhe Academy?

Guozijian is run by the imperial court, and the total number of teachers and students in the peak period is only a thousand. When it was small, there were only a few hundred people.

With such a small number of people, the imperial court felt that it was a waste of money and food to support the Guozijian.

A Shanhe Academy is worth five or six Imperial Colleges.

Changing Shanhe Academy into a government-run school and asking the court to pay for it, the court would only say: no money!

Anyone who asks for money will go as far as he can.

The Ministry of Households can't wait to just go in and out.

Anyone who asks for money is not pleasing to the eye.

Huang Qubing laughed when he heard the words, I said those people were thinking too much. One or two listened to the wind and rain, jumped up and down all day, and made troubles out of nothing.

Gu Jiu said: Don't bother with the Guozijian. Shanhe Academy robbed the Guozijian's students, and they fought back several times, but they all failed. Now it's a bit turbulent, like a frightened bird, it's normal.

Next year, your main task is to release Mr. Yang Talks about Jiangling and make it a veritable hit. Strive to make Wenqing Bookstore bigger and stronger, and make it the only bookstore worth owning in the minds of scholars. In addition, I will separate Wenqing Bookstore from Sihai Commercial Bank. From then on, Wenqing Bookstore will be completely independent.

Do you really want Wenqing Bookstore to be completely independent?

Gu Jiu smiled and asked: I will let you be the general manager of Wenqing Bookstore, and you can make up your own mind. Are you confident?

Snapped!

Huang Qubing waved his folding fan, Aren't you afraid that I'll be greedy if you let me be the chief executive?

There will be property accounting on a regular basis. And I believe you, you are not short of money, and you don't need to ruin your reputation and fortune for a little profit.

Huang Qubing laughed, Thank you for your trust! I will take good care of Wenqing Bookstore. This is a hen that lays golden eggs. It is much more profitable than your cement road. I have to watch him carefully. I can't let my heart Unscrupulous people get involved in the pure bookstore.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, Concrete roads are infrastructure, without infrastructure, everything is just talk on paper.

I know, I know. I have all your infrastructure theories in my mind. I thought, when the time is right in the future, I will definitely publish your theories in a book, so that everyone in the world will know what to think. Fu builds roads first.

Hahaha……

Gu Jiu was very happy.

She has finally influenced some people, and these people are closely following her steps and are making great strides.

The faint light of thought grew bigger again.

...

Liu Zhao took Brother Yu and Brother Heng out hunting, and exchanged ideas by the way.

Brother Heng went crazy playing in the snow.

The guards were busy protecting his safety.

Liu Zhao took Yugeer up to the top of the mountain.

How good is the view here?

Brother Yu nodded, Excellent!

He looked at his tall father curiously, Does father have something to say to his son?

During Weifu's return to Beijing, I haven't asked you all this time, how did you convince your imperial grandfather to let him agree to your apprenticeship with Ren Qiu? Can you talk to Weifu?

Brother Yu kept his mouth shut.

Liu Zhao laughed, Excuse me?

Did mother ask father to ask?

If your mother wanted to ask you, would she be so circuitous?

Brother Yu smiled embarrassedly, Mother has never asked my son, he is very curious.

That's because your mother trusts you.

Doesn't father trust me?

It's different! Liu Zhao patted Brother Yu on the shoulder, We are all children of the royal family, which means we have to be careful with every step we take. Your mother doesn't ask you, because she trusts you first, and second, she doesn't want to give you money. Three times, she doesn't want to slander the Liu family in front of you, let alone your imperial grandfather.

Brother Yu seems to understand but not understand.

Liu Zhao said to him: You just need to tell my father how you persuaded your grandfather. I will tell you about other things when you are older.

Brother Yu nodded, The son told the grandfather that the son is the grandson of the emperor, and he does not need to take the imperial examination for an official career, so he does not need to specialize in the Four Books and Five Classics. Mr. Ren is very knowledgeable. Except for astronomy, he has dabbled in other miscellaneous subjects. If the grandson can Studying with Mr. Ren will surely broaden your horizons and broaden your mind.”

that's it?

Liu Zhao obviously didn't believe it.

Brother Yu thought for a while, and then said: The son also said to the emperor's grandfather that his father is ignorant and incompetent, and he can't even calculate accounts. He is always short of money and food, and his mother has to pay for all expenses. The son must learn a lesson and dare not No matter how well you study, at least you can’t be a prodigal son like your father.”

Liu Zhao looked at Brother Yu with a heartbroken face, this cheating son.

Is there anyone who talks like that?

Why don't you know nothing about being a father? You brat.

Brother Yu looked aggrieved, In front of the emperor's grandfather, the only way to please the emperor's grandfather is to slander his father. There is only a slight chance to persuade the emperor's grandfather to agree to his son's apprenticeship with Mr. Ren. My son has no choice but to do so.

After finishing speaking, he secretly muttered in his heart, Father is indeed ignorant.

Liu Zhao bent his fingers and tapped Yu Geer on the head, In order to learn from Ren Qiu, you slander Lao Tzu like this? Do you have a conscience?

Poor son, who did he learn from?

Brother Yu said pitifully: Because the son spoke ill of his father, the son had nightmares for several days and couldn't sleep all night.

Ha ha!

I didn't see that you had nightmares. Is it a dummy who sleeps soundly every night?

Brother Yu was wronged, When my son had a nightmare, my father hadn't come back yet.

Even if the father didn't come back, the father would know that you were lying. You must have said a lot of bad things about Lao Tzu in front of your imperial grandfather, didn't you?

Nothing! The father misunderstood the son. If the son blindly slanders the father, the emperor's grandfather will definitely not allow his son to learn from Mr. Ren.

That's true.

Liu Zhao nodded.

He patted Brother Yu's head, Go and play.

Brother Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and ran down the mountain.

This hurdle is finally over.
