The Concubine of the Red Chamber is a little flower essence

Daiyu said: "Big sister, don't underestimate the construction funds. I did the calculations for big sister at home. Even if you don't compare it with the Guozijian, it only occupies half of the land, and it still needs [-] mu. This is the minimum area requirement for running a school. It occupies too little land, and it will not be so easy to expand the school building when there are more students in the future. Those old stubborn people in the imperial court should make irresponsible remarks. It is best to do it in one step to avoid trouble.

To build a school building, not counting the purchase of land, at least 100 million taels of silver is needed. "

Although Yuan Chun is good at housekeeping, now she is in charge of the imperial palace, human relations, daily expenses, purchases and celebrations, she is very clear about it, but she doesn't know how much money is needed to build a mansion or a college.

Hearing about 100 million silver, he was a little surprised.

It is very easy to talk about military affairs above, and people are shocked when it comes to money.

The students of Women's Taixue are all women. Compared with the students of Guozijian, everyone has higher safety requirements for women.

The selection of the location of the Women's Imperial School is very important. Yuan Chun has also carefully considered the location of the Women's Imperial School. It is best to choose a location in the inner city. Even if it is not an inner city, it is best to be near the Nine Gates.

Wacha had breached the outer city several times in the previous dynasty. If the school site was desolate, I am afraid that those rich and nobles would not buy it.

Only by ensuring the safety of female students can the rich and powerful be assured of sending their daughters to school.

Furthermore, Yuan Chun is also responsible for these female students.

Taixue is also the first auxiliary institution, so it can't be too shabby.

However, 100 million taels is a bit scary.

Yuanchun asked Daiyu to go back to Yingchun Tanchun Xichun Baoyu, and then consult with her aunt Du Qing and others to brainstorm and improve the program and rules of the Father-Daughter Joint Department as much as possible, and it is best not to let people find faults.

Yuanchun personally asked people to send the report on the construction of Taixue to the construction office, where both Jia Zheng and Shisan lived.

Yuanchun ordered Zizhu: "The materials are in duplicate, one is given to Cheng Engong, and the Ministry of Industry will help you to calculate how much silver taels will be needed for the new school building, one copy will be given to Thirteen Lord, and he will help to participate in the details. Where is it suitable to build a women's Taixue.

Jia Zheng was very careful. After the calculation, based on the 80-mu land area of ​​the Women's Taixue, only the new school and the school buildings and stables were built, and the landscape gardens and school grounds were simply built. There was no need to cherish animals, Taihu stones, gold, silver and antiques. For accessories, only the calligraphy and paintings of contemporary Confucians and cabinet ministers are used, and at least [-] taels of snowflake silver are needed.

Yuanchun received Shisan and Chengengong Jiazheng in Jiaotai Hall.

Thirteen gave Yuanchun an idea: "Sister-in-law Huang's thinking direction is wrong. Why do we have to rebuild the school building? Why not use the existing building?"

Yuan Chun said: "I built the women's Taixue not on a whim, but like the Guozijian, passed down from generation to generation. The Taixue will develop in the future, and the number of recruits will definitely increase. Although it will not increase the scale of the Dao. In the end, there should be a scale of 3000 people.

In addition to learning Chinese culture, women's school also focuses on the three aspects of industry, agriculture, business and medicine, and also increases the practice of arithmetic and horseback riding and archery.

Industrial, agricultural, and businessmen all need their own land and workshops, horseback riding and archery to practice boxing and kicks, and a kung fu room. There is no area of ​​[-] acres that cannot be furnished.

I understand what Thirteenth Brother said. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has many confiscated mansions and farms. They are all scattered and not in one place. The farms are all outside the city. For safety reasons, I am not going to consider them. "

Thirteen smiled, and spread out a distribution map of the imperial city, with a few decibels in the north and west: "For safety, the vicinity of Wenchang Palace is suitable. There are also several confiscated mansions here. If the place is large, the Jishuitan in the northwest corner is the most suitable. There are There are mountains and rivers, and there are several confiscated other courtyards, most of which were rewarded by successive emperors to veterans and heroes to enjoy the cool air. Rongning Second Mansion, Du Family Du Family Zhang Family, and several old princes have other courtyards here. The previously confiscated Zhongshun King’s Courtyard, Yizhong County’s Prince’s Courtyard, and a group of high-ranking official’s courthouses that were confiscated, as long as they bought the mansions of the four people, or replaced them with other courthouses under their control, they were only allowed to repair them, and then put them away. The courtyard belonging to Taixue is isolated with exquisite walls, and guards are dispatched on duty at the front and rear gates. There is also the Beicheng Bingma Division nearby, and the Jinyi Guards are in Wenchang Palace. If something happens, they will come quickly, and safety can be guaranteed."

Yuanchun immediately summoned Director Ma of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come and concretely confirm the ownership of the other courtyard.

Mr. Ma is a bit embarrassed: "Originally there were more than a dozen other houses, but now six of them have been sold. Three families have already delivered silver taels and knelt down to the husband as a dowry. It will be difficult to get them back. For the remaining three houses, I can persuade them to unsubscribe .”

Thirteen frowned: "Didn't I tell you to postpone it? Is it still there at the beginning of the year?"

Manager Ma kowtowed and said: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Prince Rong, you didn't move at first, but didn't you marry several princes and princes last year? If the generals of the clan get married, they will all be given mansions. This is a gap in money. ..."

If the three families are recovered, there will be six mansions, each of which has a lake view and landscape. It is good to build a fine school, but the lake is scattered and not suitable for management.

It is difficult to run a school in Jishuitan, but it is not impossible to think about it. The courtyard wall can also be trimmed to cut off the lake area.

Seeing this, Thirteen pointed to the west again: "There is a large garden in Xiyuan. It was originally built to imitate the pastoral scenery of my hometown. It covers an area of ​​20 acres. The emperor's wife can carve out a corner again. There are mountains, water, flowers, plants and trees. There are also three palaces, which are used first for women’s schools, and later to expand enrollment and build school buildings year by year, so that the one-time funds are dispersed for ten to twenty years, and the amount will not be obvious.”

Yuan Chun nodded: "It's good to do it this way, but the Nanyuan Huimin Department got the consent of the late emperor, so the Huimin Department borrowed the Nanyuan Yamen as a residence for teaching. It can only be done with his consent, but now His Majesty is in seclusion, let’s talk about March first, and now it’s changed to a seclusion, so I have to come out, I asked to see him three times, but was rejected, and Ze’er just kowtowed in the hall to pay his respects.”

Yuanchun knew that Shisan had been secretly meeting Emperor Qianyuan. He was embarrassed to see his wife, but he met Shisan secretly.

This is also because Shisan has no intention of usurping, otherwise, Yuan Chun would have to spend another time.

The embarrassment on the thirteen faces flashed by. Emperor Qianyuan didn't always practice in seclusion. He was actually paying attention to the court.This is why Thirteen Gan proposed to use Xiyuan.

Although Emperor Qianyuan hid in the harem, he felt sorry for the queen mother and concubines. Therefore, in the past two years, the rewards for the harem have become more generous.

Yuanchun pretended not to see Shisan's embarrassment, and said, "Boss Ma, try to negotiate with these companies. It's best if they agree to replace them, and it's fine if they don't. Don't let people think that we are bullying others. Go back and look at the account books. , Is there any suitable land boundary in the inner city or outside the Nine Gates? It doesn’t need a large area of ​​lakes, small bridges and flowing water. The key is to have a large area, preferably with an expansion site nearby.”

In fact, the residences of the Eight Great Dukes’ Mansions and the Four Great Queen’s Mansions in Xicheng, which were expelled from the noble ranks, all have large houses, and there are heaven, earth and mountains behind the houses. The noble and wealthy families are also in this area, and it is also convenient for noble girls to go to school.

It's a pity that when the first group of people dismissed their titles, Xiao Huajing hadn't thought of establishing an imperial school.

At that time, Emperor Qianyuan was still a prince, and she raised it, even Emperor Jiahe would not agree.

The next day, Yuan Chun waited for Shui Ze to come to pay his respects to the emperor, and then took the twins to Ziwei Palace in Wuyi Hall to pay his respects.

Emperor Qianyuan still avoids seeing him, but Xiaohuajing sees him restless after learning that Yuanchun's mother and son are coming, but refuses to see each other.

The consciousness of Xiaohuajing stayed on Changchunzi's body for a moment, and Changchunzi was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed three times in succession.

He has been coerced more than once.

Changchunzi wonders if there are other high-ranking people in Kyoto who also want to intervene in the struggle for power in the palace.

Emperor Qianyuan misunderstood him because he was afraid of the queen's reprimand, afraid that he would return to the court and stop practicing Taoism, so he looked at him and said coldly: "Relax, I will not break my promise for three years as you said."

Changchunzi was frightened into a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to reveal the truth, he just followed Emperor Qianyuan and said, "I'm not worried, it's not a problem for Xianjun to see his relatives once in a while."

Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand: "If you can't wait when you meet, it will only increase your troubles."

Chang Chunzi knew that His Majesty's body was fine, but he felt uncomfortable.

He was also very sad, he thought that His Majesty would be able to have sex naturally when his legs and feet recovered, but it was just that he was barren.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty felt awkward and couldn't stand up. He even added musk and fox fragrance to His Majesty's elixir for fun. He also tried dog whip and tiger whip, but it didn't work.

His Majesty also refused to accept the Qing Dynasty's double~xiu, he was really a little bit blind.

Chang Chunzi really couldn't figure out why His Majesty didn't lift with such a strong body.

Emperor Qianyuan didn't show up, and Xiao Huajing didn't make things difficult for Eunuch Ping, but just told the emperor about the girls' school site and asked for support.

At two o'clock, Emperor Qianyuan ordered Human Dao Jingshan to summon Shisan and Jia Zheng.

Xiao Huajing supervised the three of them. Emperor Qianyuan disagreed with the allocation of Xiyuan, thinking that the female students' chattering, horseback riding and archery would affect his cultivation, but he asked Shisan to take back ten other courtyards and coordinate the replacement.

As for Jia Zheng, he asked the Ministry of Industry to pay for repairing other courtyards, building courtyards and courtyard walls, dismantling all private courtyards in Jishuitan, and rewarding mansions elsewhere as compensation, and promised to pay money from his private treasury to compensate those families. , Tell Shisan and Jia Zheng to do a good job in the safety work of the girls' school.

Regarding the safety of the girls' school, Emperor Qianyuan promised to give Ziyunwei a yamen in Jishuitan so that they could protect the female students nearby.

Thirteen promised, and said again: "Your Majesty wants to meet the emperor in person and listen to the teachings face to face."

Emperor Qianyuan said: "Tell Ze'er that he has done a good job. I am very pleased. The Queen Mother is loyal to me and the court. She is full of talents. You can ask about state affairs."
