Qing Dynasty through Sanfu Jin

"What did you say?" Wan Ning picked out her ears and thought she had said something wrong.

The third elder brother mistakenly thought she was unhappy, so he said: "Don't be angry, I think the prince's method is the most effective, but the prince also said that he took advantage of us, and he is willing to pay for you to build another special one." Women's Academy."

He discussed the study and free school with the crown prince in Yuqing Palace today. The crown prince thought that since it was a free school, it would be the most cost-effective to build the study in the college, so that all students could read and watch it.

As for the books about agriculture that Wan Ning mentioned, the prince thought that most of the people nowadays were illiterate, so even if they put the books at their door, it would be useless if they didn't know them.

It is even more nonsense to want women to study.

The third elder brother knew that what the prince said was very reasonable, so he agreed after thinking about it.

After all, his original intention of running the free school was these students.

"I know that you want the people to have skills and become rich. I've been thinking about this issue too. In fact, we have all overlooked a problem. You forget that most people are illiterate now. Instead of setting up a study It’s better to let people go and give them lectures than decoration.”

Of the six ministries of the Qing Dynasty, there are actually three related to fertile land, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Industry.

Needless to say, the household department knew that it had something to do with the property just by looking at the name.

There are four divisions under the Ministry of Rites: Ritual System Cleaning Department, Temple Sacrifice Cleaning Department, Host and Guest Cleaning Department, and Refined Meal Cleaning Department in charge of banquets, granaries, and livestock affairs.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of various projects, craftsmen, farming, and water conservancy.

Regardless of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, he only knows the general idea.Si Ta, the official of the Ministry of Rites, knows that this group of people may not be able to farm, but they are good at choosing meals and livestock.If it is trained, it will be no worse than the stewards in Wan Ning's Zhuangzi.

The third elder brother's plan is to send these people to Wan Ning's Zhuangzi for training for half a year or a month, and then let them go to the village to demonstrate and give lectures to teach the people how to standardize and scientifically breed.

They can't understand the words, but they can always understand the words, right?

A village doesn't expect everyone to know everything, just one or two proficient people will do.

Of course, he didn't forget what Wan Ning said to let women "learn", so he won such a special women's college for Wan Ning only after the prince proposed that plan.

Not only did he win the academy and money, he even found a female teacher to teach.That is the ladies in the palace who have retired.

When the palace maids reach the age of 25, except for being groomed as nuns, the others will be sent back to their original places.Most of these people go home and marry themselves, and because of their age, most of them marry others to fill their houses, and only a small part can be happy.

The self-combing ones are similar, some are really reluctant to part with the master, and some are helpless choices because the family cannot accommodate them.

Now that there is a women's college, it's different. Let them go to the college to teach girls manners and needlework, and then the imperial court will distribute their salaries.

Wan Ning nodded, "I'm not angry, it's just that you said it so suddenly, I was a little surprised."

In fact, she once discussed this matter with her second sister, Wan Xiu. At that time, her second sister admitted that she was too 'naive to take it for granted', and Wan Xiu even swore to her that she would not succeed.

Wanxiu's reason is the same as that of the third elder brother, this is a world ruled by men.Not to mention now, it is not that there have never been queens in history. As a result, if they really value the development of women, would they not think of this method?

She thought there was too much resistance.

Not only Wanxiu, she also mentioned it to Er Niang Jue Luo Shi, and Er Niang gave the same answer.

So today, I was a little surprised when I heard the words of the third elder brother. She was surprised because the prince built the study in the college.

Just because the prince agreed to let her run a girls' school.

She knew that the third elder brother must be responsible for this, otherwise the prince would not have said such words.Wan Ning looked at the third elder brother, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Wan Ning was moved by the dedication of the third elder brother, but the third elder brother felt a little guilty.

Because of his words, apart from the breeding farm, Wan Ning focused on the study during this time.He watched with his own eyes how Wan Ning designed the study and proofread the books little by little.

These are all Wan Ning's painstaking efforts.

Now because of the prince's words, the study is built in the college, and no one will know about Wan Ning's efforts.

Third elder brother is very distressed.

After speaking out what was in their hearts, the two realized that their thoughts were not in the same place at all, and their thoughts were off.

Wan Ning crouched in the third elder brother's arms and smiled, "I'm fine, I've said it long ago, I don't do this for fame or publicity, I just want to do something. Besides, the books in the study are not mine. I figured it out, and if I were to say it was hard work, I would just run errands."

She got up from the third elder brother's arms, thoughtfully, "You mean, do you want me to recruit the princess into the group?"

The Crown Princess is the future queen, if she participates, even if it is just under her banner, it will be half the effort.

Brother San reached out and touched her head, and said gently: "As long as you don't feel wronged."

Wan Ning put her arms around his waist and said softly: "There is nothing wrong with it, you know that I prefer to make a fortune silently rather than ostentatiously."

She just likes to do this, and she doesn't like to be in the limelight.

Just now, she suddenly thought that the third elder brother had already planned to give the prince the study room for the prince to receive the credit.Because the crown prince is the crown prince, it doesn't matter if he has a great reputation.If the other elder brothers gain fame, especially among the common people, it may be a bad thing.

And by analogy, she thinks the same is true for female students.

The crown prince got the benefits of being a student, and the benefits of being a woman should naturally be given to the crown princess.That's how it matches.

Otherwise, if the reputation of the crown prince and her spread, what will happen to the rest of the crown prince and the third elder brother?

At that time, I'm afraid it will be rumors again.

Telling her worries to the third elder brother, Wan Ning said: "Hey, the two of us worked hard and finally let them take advantage of it. It's okay not to give some benefits." She stretched out her hand and nodded the third elder brother, "You said we I am so 'wronged', will Khan Ama give me some rewards?"

The emperor will definitely know about this kind of thing, and he will definitely understand why the third elder brother did this.

The three elder brothers have 'sacrificed' to this point, the emperor can't just watch it coldly, can he?

Recently, she ate a lot of honey, and Wan Ning's mouth probably really opened up. When their first free school and women's college were completed, the emperor sent a large number of rewards to Chengjun Palace.

After inquiring carefully, I found out that these are all tributes that came in from the beginning of this year.Except for the Queen Mother, Concubine Rong, and the Crown Prince who shared some rewards for these things, the rest of the emperor saved them up and sent them to San Age's Mansion.

Liang Jiugong quietly took out a few banknotes from his sleeve, "The prince of the emperor and Fujin have worked hard this year, and he remembers it in his heart. This is for your hard work."

The third elder brother signaled Wan Ning to put it away, and Wan Ning opened it to see that there were five banknotes with a face value of 1 taels.

She said to herself: Good guy, this hard work is worth it.

The princes of the emperor worked hard for a whole year, and the sum of their salaries and filial piety was only ten thousand taels. The two of them took fifty thousand taels just by talking about it. This money was too easy.

The smile on Wan Ning's face became even brighter, "Elder-in-law is working hard, it's cold, this father-in-law bought some tea to drink."

As he said that, he asked Tangyuan to give Liang Jiugong a purse to reward him with silver.

Liang Jiugong repeatedly declined: "I can't do it, I can't do it, the emperor has specially confessed to this servant, how can this servant take money from you two."

Before leaving the palace, the emperor specially gave him money for running errands, just because he didn't want him to take the third elder brother's money.How could he be ignorant of the times.

Seeing that Liang Jiugong really didn't want it, Wan Ning gave up. She asked Tangyuan to bring some pastries, and asked someone to wrap a bag of tea.

"This is made in my own kitchen, and this is also produced in my own village. It's worthless. If you refuse again, you will be looking down on us."

Liang Jiugong smiled from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you, my lord, and Fujin. Oh, I've heard that all the things produced in Fujin Zhuangzi are good things, so this slave is lucky."

He remembered that the emperor went to Zhongcui Palace once, and drank tea from Concubine Rong for a while, and he couldn't forget it.When he was muttering, he also said that the third elder brother was not filial, he only thought about Er Niang but didn't know to give him this Ama.

Later, the third elder brother asked someone to send a batch of tea to the emperor, and the emperor changed his taste since then.

Liang Jiugong is the eunuch next to the emperor, and the emperor will reward him when he is happy.Like the emperor, he couldn't drink anything else since he drank the tea from Brother San.

For this recent trip, he had planned to brazenly ask San Elder Brother for some money, but he thought of it before he even asked San Fujin.

Happy to put away the tea leaves, Liang Jiugong approached the third elder brother and said: "The imperial envoy who went to Guangdong and Guangxi has returned, and the emperor is in a bad mood."

Yinzhi looked at him with raised eyebrows, and Liang Jiugong nodded at him.The third elder brother said with a smile: "I am in trouble, father-in-law, I will send him off."

Liang Jiugong waved his hand, "Don't dare, the prince is too polite."

After speaking, he waved the floating dust to greet the other little eunuchs to leave.

Wan Ning approached the third elder brother knowingly and asked: "What did he tell you?"

The third elder brother smiled at him and did not answer, but directed everyone to register these things and store them in the warehouse.

After dealing with these rewards, the third elder brother went to the main courtyard, followed by Wan Ning.

Only then did he say: "Do you still remember Lao Ba's Di Fujin?" Seeing Wan Ning nodding, he said, "Until Lao Ba's wedding, Shuo Seman only worked as governor of Guangdong and Guangxi for two and a half years. Their family is not What big branch, where do you think his daughter's pretense came from?"

Everyone knew that during Wan Ning's wedding, the dowry was not only from the Duke's mansion, but also from his second sister, Prince Yu's mansion Fujin and others.Although the things these people gave were not as good as those prepared by the Duke's own, they were all high-quality goods and were of great value.

In this way, his Fujin's dowry will be rich.

What about Guarga?

Can the emperor not suspect that a large amount of dowry was obtained without that background?

No, some time ago the emperor finally freed up and sent someone to visit secretly.

Liang Jiugong told him that the emperor was not happy, and also mentioned that the people who went to Guangdong and Guangxi came back, and he immediately understood what was going on?

Why Khan Ama is unhappy, it must be something Shuo Se has done.

Thinking of this, the third elder brother is a little gloating.

"It's cold, it happens to be fine, let's just wait and see the excitement."

The free school and the women's college have been built, and those good breeders are also trained, and they can only be put into use in the spring of next year.

Wan Ning and the third elder brother were completely free.

There is no fun in the winter, so it would be nice to watch the ups and downs of the old eight.

He sighed: "Oh, I hope Han Ama can take it easy and don't beat Lao Ba down all at once, otherwise we will lose a lot of fun."

Lao Ba can't pose a threat to the prince at all now, so it's better to keep it for everyone to laugh at.

Wan Ning pursed her lips, luckily Old Ba couldn't hear, otherwise she would die of anger.

The third elder brother was right in guessing that on the third day after Liang Jiugong came, Kangxi ordered to punish Shuo Se's crimes and dismissed him.

Seeing too much about the emperor, many people thought that the emperor was removing obstacles for the prince, but Kangxi changed the subject, "You should be glad that you are my son, daughter, and relative, otherwise [-] deaths would not be enough for the crimes you committed. "

The eldest elder brother was standing next to the third elder brother. Hearing this, he took two steps back carefully and stuck close to the third elder brother, "Did you hear that, third elder brother?"

Khan Ama's words made him think of Guo Luoluo. It is said that Khan Ama also reprimanded Guo Luoluo as the most minister's daughter in front of everyone.

He couldn't help thinking, if Lao Ba's father-in-law was really beheaded because of this, wouldn't his Fujin also become the "daughter of the most minister"?

As soon as this idea came out, the big brother's molars hurt.

"What kind of luck is this old eight, to attract the 'most courtier's daughter'?"

His voice was very soft and his movements were small, so no one else noticed that he was chatting with the third elder brother except the fourth elder brother who was behind the third elder brother.

The third elder brother replied in a low voice, "Why doesn't the eldest brother say that the old eighth is a scourge, and anyone who clings to him will be unlucky?"

Like Guo Luoluo, if there is no eighth child, she will not be able to live a stable life as her granddaughter of Anbeile if she marries someone.There is also this Guerjia family, Shuo Se is wrong, but if there is no Lao Ba, he would not be picked up by Khan Ama and scolded so badly.

Khan Aman's words almost called him a heinous person.

Not to mention that there is an old nine who is obsessed with ghosts and goes all the way to the black.

The elder brother thought for a while, and it seemed to be the case.He suddenly shivered, and tremblingly said: "Third brother, you think the eighth child must have learned that, or it doesn't make sense."

He wanted to talk about witchcraft and lowering his head, but these things were taboo and he didn't dare to say them out.

Apart from this, he really couldn't figure out why Lao Jiu would be so devoted to him if he wasn't stupid.

The third elder brother suddenly said: "Brother, stand still, Khan Ama is here."

Kangxi sat at the top, as long as he thought about it, no expression could escape his eyes.The boss whispered to the third child, he had already found out.

"Yinti, tell me."

The elder brother gave an ah, and then shouted, "Ama Khan is merciful, long live Ama Khan."

Kangxi & everyone: ...

The third elder brother lowered his head and tried hard to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

Brother is really talented.

The talented elder brother choked Kangxi, and Kangxi snorted softly, "Back off."

After retreating from court, the prince turned to look at Eldest Brother, "Brother, yes, you dare to be distracted in court?" He followed Eldest Brother's example, "Khan Ama is kind, long live Khan Ama".After speaking, I laughed out loud.

The elder brother squinted at him, "What are you laughing at?" He pulled the third elder brother towards him, "I have a good relationship with the third brother, we can chat, jealousy, you can bite me if you have the ability?"

The crown prince is the crown prince, standing at the head of the important ministers. In the past, he was jealous of the crown prince's attention, but now he feels that he is doing well now.He dares to distract himself, does the prince dare?He has someone to chat with, does the prince have one?

The prince's face darkened, and the eighth elder brother turned around and prepared to leave just at this moment.He said: "Don't think that you are the eldest brother, so you will let you go. The third child is my own brother who I brought up since childhood. Don't you have a younger brother yourself? It's a shame to rob others." He raised his voice to the eighth elder brother, "Old brother Eight, quickly take your eldest brother away, so as not to be an eyesore here."

He deliberately bit down on the word "brother".

The eighth elder brother was raised by Concubine Hui. From this point of view, he is the eldest elder brother's 'brother'.

The elder brother's chest rose and fell, watching the prince pull the third brother's arm, he became more and more sure that the other party did it on purpose.He didn't even look at Eighth Prince, but confronted the prince.

The third elder brother who was about to make sandwich biscuits stretched out his hand to stop the two, "Brother, can you stop being so childish. There are half a hundred people in total, and you still look like a child. You are not afraid of Hong Yu and Hong Xi See the joke?"

It's strange to say that it's good that these two people don't meet each other, but when they meet, they look like three-year-old children, more childish than those two elder nephews.

The news of Shuo Se's dismissal spread quickly, and everyone in the harem knew about it before the brothers left.

The eighth elder brother, Guarja, almost fell down with a pale face.

Concubine Hui said lukewarmly: "Ba Fujin is not feeling well, so go back home to rest."

She is also doing it for the good of the Guarjia family. What can women say when they meet together, I am afraid that those topics will be tired of every day.The matter of Shuo Se came at the right time.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Guerjia didn't understand her hint at all, so Mrs. Guerjia gave a weak smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my son is fine."

Concubine Hui took a deep look at her, saw the stubbornness in her eyes, turned her head and said nothing.

She did what she should do, so what does it have to do with her if others insist on humiliating herself?

Wan Ning looked at Ba Fujin and shook her head, thinking that she would definitely regret her decision later.

Why did the news that Shuose was reprimanded by Khan Ama spread so accurately and quickly?It is impossible to say that there is no pushing hand in it.

And the most likely promoter of this matter is the emperor.

Khan Ama did it on purpose.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, and what she can see through, others can naturally.She could imagine what it would be like to go to the Compassionate Ning Palace later.

It might be better if Bafujin doesn't go, but if she goes, others will definitely not let her go.

Wan Ning's guess became a reality, when they arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility, before their buttocks were hot, they heard someone looking at Fujin Ba.

"When I first came here, I heard everyone spreading rumors about the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi corrupting and plundering people's wealth. The eight Fujin brought so much dowry back then, how much of it was the ill-gotten wealth plundered from the people?"

Wan Ning looked up and found that the person who said this was Captain Qingche's wife, the mother of Li Jiashi of Wufujin.

Thinking of the entanglement between the fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother, and the expensive dowry of the Guerjia family, she knew it clearly.
