Mrs. Tai was greatly shocked after hearing what Huo Xi said.
She had always thought that the siblings were raised outside, fearing that they were not well-raised and would not care about the family. She did not expect that they could think so long-term for the family.
"Just do whatever you want. Your father knows and will definitely agree."
"I have written to my father and asked him for instructions."
"very good."
Huo Xi glanced at her and said: "I know that the rise of the family was inseparable from the support of the Wang family. This time the family school is reopened, children from the Wang family will also be allowed to join the school, and they will be treated the same as the children of the Zhang family.
.In addition, many of the younger members of the Wang clan are proficient in boxing, kung fu, and military strategy. I also intend to invite them to come and give lectures."
The madam was stunned for a long time.
He nodded excitedly: "You can think like this, how can you think like this...I will write a letter to your uncle and ask him to fully cooperate with you! Elders of the Zhang clan, I will also ask someone to inform you.
If you have any arrangements, just ask them to cooperate!"
Huo Xi nodded, discussed some matters with her, and then left with Huo Nian.
After the two left, Mrs. Tai touched the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, unable to conceal her excitement. With Zhang's support, the Wang family will definitely become different.
Busy people grind ink.
After leaving the ancestral hall, Huo Nian took Huo Xi's hand and shook it: "Why did sister say this was my idea?"
Huo Xi smiled: "Sister is just a woman, so having these false reputations is a drag. This will be beneficial to the family. If everyone remembers your contribution, your position as the heir apparent will be secure. We have not been in contact for these years.
When it comes to your tribe, they have always had a wait-and-see attitude towards you as the heir apparent. Only by winning over your tribe can you gain their support."
Huo Nian pursed his lips and rubbed Huo Xi's arm, "My mother is not here, but I have a sister."
Huo Xi stroked his head with some emotion: "Only when you are well will your sister be well. Only then can you be my sister's strong backing in the future."
If my grandfather's family had not been in trouble back then, my mother would not have ended up like that.
Both siblings thought of their poor mother at this time.
Huo Nian nodded heavily: "Sister, don't worry, Nian'er will be my sister's support in the future!"
"good."
The letter Huo Xi sent to Zhang Fu was also delivered to him.
Zhang Fuzhan was stunned when he read the letter.
To Zhang Jin, a confidant, he lamented: "It's because I, as a father, have not done enough that my daughter has to worry so much about her."
Zhang Jin read Huo Xi's letter and asked, "Did the eldest lady suggest it?" Didn't it come from the prince?
Zhang Fu shook his head, "Nian'er can't imagine that it will be that long. He is a piece of rough jade, but he still needs time to experience. Although he has lived in an ordinary family these years, his adoptive parents love him very much and treat him like a son and a daughter.
Everything is thoughtful for him. He has never experienced the pain of his daughter, so he can't think of this."
This idea of winning people's hearts and killing two birds with one stone can only be thought of by Nannan who has gone through all kinds of hardships.
"I can't help her." She endured this at such a young age.
He read the letter again and told Zhang Jin: "Tomorrow you will go back to the house in person to help Nannan set up a clan school. Just do it according to her idea. Change the house in the West Street house into a clan school.
Tell the accountant in the outer courtyard that all the money needed to run the clan school will come from the public house. If my daughter needs any manpower, you can help mobilize it."
"yes."
Early the next morning, when Huo Xi woke up, someone told her that Zhang Jin was back and waiting to see her.
Huo Xi didn't expect Zhang Fu to send him back so early in the morning.
"Uncle Jin."
"I've met the eldest lady."
Zhang Jin looked at Huo Xixiao, this is the style of all women, and she was very pleased.
"The Duke of Guo said that his subordinates should listen to the arrangement of the eldest lady. If you want people, money or things, just say nothing. In addition, the Duke of Guo said that the old house in the family should be used as a clan institution."
Huo Xi was a little surprised, "The whole house is used as a family study?"
That house was the Zhang family's old house. It was bought by my grandfather when he brought the whole family to the capital with his own money. Huo Xi was also born there and lived a happy childhood for several years.
Later, Zhang Fu was granted the title of Marquis and was granted the current residence.
"That house is not small. It has seven rooms."
Zhang Jin nodded: "The Duke said that since the eldest lady allows the Wang family to receive the same treatment as the children of the Zhang family, and also allows the children of generals and military lieutenants to attend school, the place cannot be reduced. And the eldest lady wants to use force.
Since students are the main focus, it is necessary to build a large martial arts arena. The house also has to provide dormitories for teachers and students, residences for servants, offices, practice rooms, etc. I'm afraid it's just barely adequate."
Huo Xi nodded: "We run a clan school and also recruit the children of family generals and military lieutenants. Will this cause unnecessary trouble?"
Huo Xi was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble and making people criticize Zhang Fu.
Zhang Jin smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry. Every family in the capital has clan schools, and foreign surnames and in-laws are also allowed to join the school. Scholars are not said to form cliques. We mainly focus on martial arts. Today's emperor is a martial artist.
If you learn about this, you will only be happy. Don't worry about what others say."
"That's good."
There are many academies in Beijing, and Huo Xi does not want to compete with them for business. Instead, he wants to turn the Zhang Clan School into a martial arts academy, at least focusing on martial arts.
Although the founding emperor of the Davidic Dynasty and the current emperor were both martial, those who had held imperial power since ancient times would not have wanted to see the people practicing martial arts, for fear that the imperial power would be subverted. The national policy has always been to emphasize civility over military power.
Throughout all dynasties, there has never been a serious martial arts academy.
Although the Wei Dynasty had military exercises, they were almost in name only.
From the history that Huo Xi knew, the Ming Dynasty, where the emperor guarded the country, only began to pay attention to martial arts after the Tumubao Incident and the Yingzong was captured.
At this time, the source of the generals of the Wei Dynasty was still hereditary. They were selected from the noble families, the thousands of households, the hundreds of households, and the military households of the Wei Dynasty.
The status of military officers is not as high as that of civil officials, and the status of military jinshi is naturally not as high as that of civil jinshi. However, only a few hundred people can pass the imperial examination every year. If it can provide an additional path for scholars, there is nothing wrong.
No matter how useless the martial arts examination is, those who pass the martial arts examination will be awarded positions, and those who pass the examination will also receive a salary. For people with poor family backgrounds and no talent in the imperial examination, it is really an extra choice.
The Zhang family is originally from a family of military commanders, and every year they recommend members of their clan to serve in the army. Instead of looking for talented people to serve as generals, it is better to train them yourself as early as possible.
Use the name of Huo Nian to start a clan school. In the future, after these people are trained, they can also be used by the prince.
Just as Huo Xi was about to discuss clan studies with Zhang Jin, another servant came in to report that the head of the Wang family and several senior members of the Zhang family had arrived.
The lady did not see the guests, and the three Zhang Fu brothers were not at home, so Huo Xi asked the Hou family and Xiao Wu family to come together to entertain the guests. When he sent someone to invite them, he also told them the reason.
The Hou family and the little Wu family just thought it was the idea of the Duke of Guo, and came to entertain the guests without thinking too much.
