Three hundred and thirtieth chapters who game who (48)
"Dad, I'm leaving."
When Jia Hongkang looked at his daughter, who looked so dashing, the old father couldn't be more proud.
After he invested in a branch of Linwangfu Paper Mill more than five years ago, he moved his family to Jiuyuan City not long after.
Not for anything else, but for the children in the family, especially the daughter, to receive a good education.
Jiuyuan City now has more than one academy. It is divided into junior schools where children under the age of twelve are free to attend, girls over the age of twelve are free, and boys can attend advanced schools where they can pay their fees through work.
The school teaches both civil and martial arts.
After graduating from the senior school, you can apply to Jiuyuan College, and you can still work-study. The college also offers both civil and military subjects.
Anyone who graduates from the school and reaches the age of fifteen can find a job in the workshop of Prince Lin's Mansion.
There are also adult schools, which mainly teach people to read, write, and do simple arithmetic. Both men and women can learn it, and there are rewards for good students.
Jia Hongkang admired Commander Ruan very much, he was a man with far-sightedness and broad mind.
Up to now, not many people in Jiuyuan City know clearly that the huge changes in Jiuyuan City and even the entire Linzhou were directed by Commander Ruan, and Prince Lin only had a reputation.
Commander Ruan started by changing women's abilities and gradually improved their status.
Jia Hongkang himself has a sister and a daughter, and he fully approves of Commander Ruan's actions.
Putting aside literacy, the benefits of martial arts training have already emerged. Women and men who practice martial arts have gradually become equal in strength. Women can do everything men can do.
Moreover, most women have peaceful minds and work harder, so now many workshops and businesses are more willing to recruit female workers who are skilled in martial arts. Even his newly opened printing workshop recruits more than half of the people who are women.
What Jia Hongkang values most is that women who practice martial arts have a much smaller chance of giving birth to a child with dystocia. His sister died of dystocia, and her sister's dystocia was also related to her husband's family not paying enough attention to her.
He didn't want his daughter to go through what his sister had gone through.
Seeing his daughter walking out the door with her sword in hand, Jia Hongkang hurriedly asked, "Zi'an, you really don't need me to see you off? It's a long way from the city to the second guard camp."
The second guard camp is recruiting new guards, and my daughter Jia Zian is here to sign up.
Two years ago, the women's guard camp had to persuade each family to recruit people. Now, the situation is reversed. If you want to enter the guard camp, you have to register and take an exam, and you will be accepted only if you pass.
After entering the guard camp, food and accommodation are all included, and you get a monthly salary. When you get older, you will be given light work.
You can still have a bright future.
Jia Hongkang did not believe that Commander Ruan would be able to remain the leader for the rest of his life.
Jia Zian waved his fist at Jia Hongkang playfully, "Dad, you can't even beat me, so I'll have to protect you when something happens."
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go with my classmates from those colleges. Besides, who dares to look for trouble in our Jiuyuan City?"
Jia Hongkang knew this truth, but his old father always had a lot on his mind, "It's better to be careful. I heard that barbarians are making trouble on the border again this year. Don't let anyone come here."
"I know, we will be careful. Let's go, dad." Jia Zian ran out of the door with his sword in hand.
Prince Lin's Mansion was also talking about the barbarians.
Lu Ting reported to Yu Hua, "Commander Ruan, we have verified that Concubine Ruan is the biological daughter of the barbarian king. Concubine Ru's biological mother is from Daqi. Concubine Ruan looks like her biological mother, so her barbarian features are not obvious.
It was Military Advisor Kong's idea to send Concubine Ru to Emperor Daqi. Concubine Ru was also sent to Daqi through the Qingfang Sect. Rufei's fake parents were members of the Qingfang Sect. It has not been found out which pass Rufei entered through.
.”
Ju Hua looked at the message note and put it away, "Have your people withdraw, lest Military Advisor Kong's people find out that we are pursuing this matter."
As his experience and cultivation increased, Lu Ting became more and more bold and careful in his work. Yuhua asked Lu Ting to do the full-time job of collecting and tracking all kinds of intelligence information.
"But the concrete evidence has not yet been obtained, and reporting it to the court is not enough to win people's trust."
"These will not be reported to the emperor."
Lu Ting was overjoyed, "Is King Lin interested in fighting for the throne?" He didn't love King Lin so much, but once King Lin became the emperor, Commander Ruan would become the regent.
With the talents of Commander Ruan, the entire Daqi City will usher in a prosperous age. Unlike now, only Jiuyuan City and other places in Linzhou will benefit.
Although he cannot boast that he cares about the world, in recent years, floods, droughts and other disasters have occurred in various parts of the country, and many local people have been unable to survive.
It was Commander Ruan who ordered people to go to various places to lure victims to Linzhou to give them a way to survive.
We can only guide the victims and let them come on their own.
After all, it was another state capital, and people could not be brought in with great fanfare. If the emperor or other princes found out about it, they would be labeled as having evil intentions.
Decided to come, there are only a few who can go to Linzhou and reach Jiuyuan City.
"No. However, there is someone we can cooperate with."
Lu Ting didn't like any prince, "What if this candidate is found to be unreliable?" He didn't want to conquer the world for someone he didn't like.
"Then let King Lin take the throne."
Lu Ting felt comfortable, "I'll ask my people to withdraw right away."
After that, he will allocate part of his manpower to focus on that candidate. He hopes that he will not be allowed to find the big mistake of that person, otherwise...
…
A group of people came to the gate of Jiuyuan City.
The leader was a man with extraordinary bearing. He pulled the reins to stop the horse and looked toward the city gate.
There was a lot of excitement in front of the city gate, with people entering and leaving the city, people riding carriages, and people carrying backpacks.
A line is drawn in the center of the city gate, and those entering and leaving the city go to one side, making it lively but not chaotic.
The gatekeeper only guards the gate and maintains order in front of the gate. There is no entry fee or road check, and everyone can pass freely.
The man behind him took a step forward, dressed in the attire of a scribe, and said softly to the man, "Your Highness, this backpack can be used by ordinary people in Jiuyuan City, which shows how wealthy Jiuyuan City is."
This kind of backpack is one of the new bags produced in the Jiuyuan City workshop in the past two years.
The rucksack is made of cowhide and can be carried on the back in the form of a backpack. It is large and lightweight, has many layers inside, and is very tight. It has been very popular as soon as it appeared in the capital.
Especially for people who go out, carrying a backpack is much more convenient than carrying a bag.
It’s just that they are not cheap and ordinary people cannot afford to use them.
The person who was called His Highness was the third prince Chen You, who was granted the title of Prince of Liang. The person who was talking to him was Zhou Zhong, the counselor of Prince Liang's palace.
There was a glimmer in Chen You's eyes, "Yes and no. Jiuyuan City is close to the barbarian territory, so the price of furs is naturally lower than in the capital."
But it won't be so cheap that ordinary people in the capital are willing to buy it, which is enough to show that the people in Jiuyuan City are richer than those in other places.
