There is a hot discussion in Kyoto these days, and the scope of the discussion is very wide. Even poor farmers who usually don't care much about state affairs often go to the city to inquire about how the construction of the academy is going. I heard that after the academy is completed,
Children from poor families don’t have to pay to study. Their child will be seven years old next year. Will he be able to study in an academy in the future?
Farmers who have to worry about the next meal after eating one meal should be most concerned about the issue of food. They have always paid no attention to government affairs and no matter what the higher-ups do. If they can have enough to eat and survive in this world, then they can open their eyes every day.
The first thing to think about when you look at it.
This time, however, I couldn't care less.
If what the eldest princess is doing is accomplished, their children will not have to repeat the life of their parents like them in the future. They can go to the academy to study and become scholars. In the future, they will be able to win the first prize, become high officials, and be proud of their ancestors.
, the matter of shining on the lintel...
In their view, all scholars want to win the first prize and become a high official. Although Wu Xiucai at the head of the village has not yet won, no one in the village who sees him should respectfully call him "Xiu Cai Gong".
In short, no matter what your previous status was, as long as you read a book, everything will be different.
This is a great happy event. Her Royal Highness the Princess has done good things for them again. First, she called her daughter to let the whole family live a life with enough to eat. Now, she also allows their son to have books to read.
They don't know how much the Holy One has done for them today, but Her Royal Highness the Princess is really speaking for these poor people...
They need money to build the academy. Her Royal Highness the Princess is running around to raise money for them. However, the wealthy officials seem unwilling. It seems that the matter of building the academy can no longer go ahead...
This is what they learned after entering the city.
"He, their money is not all looted from the people. They really want to do things for the people. Each one of them has turned into an iron rooster!" An old farmer used a cane and kept tapping the ground, full of laughter.
His face was full of anger.
"This is an opportunity for children. They, they can't be like us." Someone gritted his teeth and said, "They must study. Only after studying can they be successful..."
One person shook his head and sighed: "Alas... they are all ungrateful. The one who really cares about the poor people is Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
A carriage drove slowly through the street. After these days, the old man driving the carriage has understood that there are always traffic jams on that wide and wide road. In order not to waste time, they have to go far around there and take another route.
A smooth path.
Then we stop at the entrance of an alley, sometimes for only a quarter of an hour or two, sometimes for less than half an hour.
Lao Fang and the sloppy old man were sitting on both sides of the carriage. Thinking about what they just heard on the street, they opened the curtain and said to Li Yi: "Uncle, these officials don't even pay this little money. They are really stingy!"
Li Yi waved his hand and said: "Don't say that. Other people's money is not brought by the strong wind, and they don't want to be blown away by the strong wind. It is other people's freedom to donate or not. We have no control over it. Don't engage in moral kidnapping..."
Lao Fang nodded in understanding. Although he didn't know what moral kidnapping meant, he knew that his money was picked up from the sand, brought to his door by others, and defrauded from Qi State.
------It seems that it is not as convenient as blowing it in the strong wind. He is not willing to give it to others for free.
Li Yi jumped off the carriage and walked into the alley.
The sloppy old man habitually threw a toffee in his mouth and glanced in a certain direction, "How long will he be like this?"
"Almost." Lao Fang took a candy from the sloppy old man's hand and murmured.
The sloppy old man glanced at him, put the remaining toffee back into his arms, and asked, "What's so fast?"
Lao Fang glanced at him and said, "It's faster. It's faster."
When my uncle passes by here these days, the expression on his face is completely different from before. He has been observing carefully for many days, and he can naturally see some subtle emotions in it.
The sloppy old man seemed to understand something and asked: "Which one does he like more, your young lady or the girl here?"
Lao Fang looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that this weird old guy would be so sullen and interested in such a thing?
"There is no comparison." Lao Fang shook his head and said, "My uncle likes Miss Zeng because she is a Miss, not someone else. He likes Miss Zeng just because he likes her."
"What do you mean?" The sloppy old man was stunned for a moment. After pondering for a while, he still didn't understand. Then he seemed to have remembered something and looked at him mockingly: "Are you talking about yourself?"
Lao Fang glanced at him: "What does it have to do with me?"
"Don't think I don't know. You have a sweetheart in that group of jade courtyards. Why didn't you go find him today?"
Lao Fang's expression suddenly changed and he said angrily: "You are following me!"
The sloppy old man looked at him disdainfully, "Who doesn't know about your bad things?"
"What's wrong?" Lao Fang actually stopped being angry, "Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you've never been liked by anyone, right?"
This sentence seemed to have touched the sloppy old man's back, and he immediately glared at the old man, "What? Why don't you go to Wu Kingdom to inquire about it? When I was young, I was considered to be suave and charming, and was attracted by many women. If not,
Addicted to martial arts..."
"So you will never marry a wife in your life?" Lao Fang looked at him with a smile.
The sloppy old man stopped talking and looked at him with narrowed eyes. If he hadn't been practicing self-cultivation these days, he would have slapped him down long ago.
But you can't just take pictures of the guy in front of you, and don't care about it with him. The sloppy old man thought for a while and continued the question just now: "What if you add the second lady of your family?"
"Second Miss?"
This problem became a bit complicated. Lao Fang was stunned. He looked up at the sky and felt that the sunshine today was a bit dazzling again.
…
Li Yi sat at the stone table, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Are all the Cui family's garment shops closed?"
Zeng Zuimo looked up at him and nodded slightly.
She had also vaguely heard some news these days. The Cui family had lost a lot of money and had mortgaged many shops in Kyoto, including those clothing shops, which had not been open for a long time.
These days, their strategies have also made some adjustments. Even if counterfeiting occurs again, they have corresponding methods to deal with it.
"I heard that the eldest princess encountered some obstacles in raising money to build the academy?"
Li Yi thought she would ask specific questions about the closure of the Cui family's clothing store. He didn't know why she suddenly mentioned it. He shook his head and said, "Those are just appearances, everything is planned."
Zeng Zuimo looked at him and asked, "Did you plan it?"
"Of course, I didn't think about how much money they could donate. The less they donate, the better. They are laughing at the eldest princess now, but they won't be able to laugh anymore in a few days."
After Li Yi finished speaking, he saw her lowering her head and not speaking. After thinking about it, he suddenly asked: "Are you jealous?"
"Hehe, Miss is just jealous..." Xiao Cui stood behind and said with a chuckle.
Ever since she saw two people rolling around on the bed that day, she could say some things in front of them.
There were two people on the bed, one pressed against the other. According to common sense, during the period when she couldn't see them, they would be rolling around.
"Xiao Cui, shut up!" Zeng Zuimo glanced at Xiao Cui in shame, stood up, and hurriedly walked towards the studio.
Li Yi stood up and tapped Xiao Cui on the head, "How can anyone say such a thing about my young lady? No big or small..."
Xiaocui covered her head, a little aggrieved, thinking that you two were just trying to find a reason to be in the same room, and yet you were pretending to be so similar...
Li Yi walked into the studio and saw that she was already sitting at the table. He explained: "That is really just an appearance. If they don't donate now, they will still donate in the future. They have to beg to come and donate..."
"Stop talking." Zeng Zuimo hurriedly raised his head and said hurriedly: "Why are you telling me this? If others hear it, it will ruin your big event..."
"What are you afraid of, my own people?" Li Yi looked at her and said, "But you really can't tell other people these words, otherwise the consequences will be serious, and even that Shilang Zeng can't tell..."
"I won't tell him." Zeng Zuimo said firmly, then looked up at him and asked, "What will be the consequences?"
Li Yi thought for a while and said: "I will be embarrassed, and the eldest princess will also lose face. She will be laughed at by many people, and most importantly, she will lose a lot of money."
Zeng Zuimo knew what money meant to him. If he said a lot of money, it really meant a lot.
Thinking of him telling her such an important thing, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.
"How's it going? I've told you such an important thing. Are you touched?" Li Yi walked over, looked at her with a smile, opened his arms, and asked, "Are you so touched that you want a warm hug?"
That trace of warmth quickly disappeared, Zeng Zuimo grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it over.
"Big pervert!"
This word was something she learned from Yongning a long time ago.
Yongning said that those who like to take advantage of girls are big perverts.
