Chapter 426 Yunwei's Determination

Yunwei nestled in Mu Yang's arms, watching the curly hair wagging its tail and circling Wan Niangniang to please and behave.

Wan Niangniang really likes curly hair.

Not only made meat for Curly, but also prepared snacks, Wan Niangniang took over the job of bathing Curly, Yunwei never thought that Wan Niangniang is a kind person who loves dogs.

Seeing the smile on Yunwei's lips, Mu Yang felt sweet in his heart, "Yesterday, my son and daughter sent someone to ask about the girls' book you wrote. I guess she wants to give it to you and ask about the twins born to your mother-in-law."

"Well, it's okay to meet once." Yunwei nodded and said: "Seeing is seeing, I will never forgive her for the rest of my life. Even if she really wants to understand now, she wants to make up for my mother. I won’t recognize her, and I will never reconcile with her for the rest of my life!”

Mu Yang said: "Shall I order someone to invite her to the palace?"

"No, go... to the newly established yamen in charge of education. It's official business anyway, so I shouldn't let her come to the palace."

Yunwei smiled triumphantly, "I didn't expect the empress to act swiftly and swiftly. The Department of Education has already been set up and is directly under the emperor. Ahem, she is the empress who pays and pays people. Those people from the famous family have a bit of vision, and they keep going to the education department. , would rather give up their famous business for many years.

It's the second son...a poor man who was abandoned by a famous family. His talent and fame are inferior to my father's. Even his own relatives don't care about him. That place has returned to Beijing. "

"Famous people are not the only ones who are optimistic about the power of the Department of Education." Mu Yang pondered for a while, and then said: "The emperor also cares about the newly established yamen, the queen wants to manage the Department of Education for a long time, I'm afraid it will not be easy, but At first, the emperor asked the queen to try it, and the money invested was also the queen's or the Yang family's private house.

The emperor does not need to spend a single coin. After the queen spreads education to the world, according to the plan you made for the queen, the emperor can get the gratitude of the scholars and the thanks of the poor people without spending too much money. Take all the benefits back. "

"I mean, if the emperor wants to take it back, he can take it back. Doesn't he take the queen too seriously?" Yunwei sneered, "It's silly to be a queen."

Mu Yang smoothed Yunwei's back, and said: "The queen casts money for her wish. She is the queen and the emperor's wife. The emperor can share half of the wife's achievements. If the queen is obsessed with benefits and refuses to delegate power, the courtiers will be indispensable." Will spread news that is not good for the Queen."

Yun Wei let out a breath of anger, "You really reminded me that the Department of Education's plan still needs to be perfected. The queen spends money and experiences to cultivate the fruits, no matter how sweet and tempting she is, it's not something the emperor can snatch if she says she wants to." Walk."

She shook off Mu Yang, picked up her skirt and ran quickly to the study, "Ah Yang, sleep on your own tonight, I have to stay up late to make a plan, Ah Yang really can't sleep, go find King Min, he's not quite right recently, just ask him Don't let me control it!"

Mu Yang felt that he should go to the study to lay the floor and accompany Yunwei to change the plan.

His own father, King Min, has recently become more ambitious, often contacting old people, and is no longer satisfied with just recruiting masters of the rivers and lakes.

Mu Yang had nothing to say to King Min, and he would not help his father fight for the throne.

The Department of Education is located at the corner of the Six Departments Yamen. Compared with the magnificent Six Departments Yamen, the Department of Education's Yamen is very inconspicuous.

Yun Wei walked along the street, and saw an official wearing a fourth-rank official uniform standing at the gate of the official office, flattering a small official.

The yamen of the Ministry of Households did not give way, and many officials were kind to the small officials of the Ministry of Households, hoping to allocate the money as soon as possible.

Yunwei could hear the whispers of the officials waiting at the gate of the yamen.

The empress sat side by side with the emperor, and the empress frequently intervened in government affairs. Although the empress had the support of the former Yang family, it caused a lot of criticism from the government and the public.

"You have to admit that the emperor's dragon body is not healed. The empress helped the emperor write and approve the memorial, and never delayed major events. The empress is wise and considers the overall situation. I am convinced of the government affairs she handles."

"The emperor has a headache, but you can't just point at the empress. Can you guarantee that the empress is always wise and will not make mistakes? You have to understand one thing. Women have long hair but short eyesight, and shallow eyelids. Even if the empress is an exception, why doesn't the emperor let Wei Wang Zhao Wang assists him?"

"... King Wei, King Zhao is also recovering from his illness. Have you forgotten the mutiny during King Jing's wedding? The sinner Mu Chen was once the emperor's favorite son. He gave Mu Chen great authority and love. Mu Chen was unfilial to the emperor and had no father-son relationship, forcing the emperor to abdicate..."

The official who spoke lowered his voice, "The emperor once experienced his son's betrayal, so how can he rest assured that the two princes, I heard that Zhao Wang was seriously injured, and many literati who accompanied Zhao Wang were driven away by Zhao Wang, Zhao Wang wholeheartedly In seeking good doctor treatment.

King Wei once had an adventure, hovering on the edge of life and death, saying that he was terrified, didn't like to go out, and looked like a bad person to everyone.Mu Chen ruined himself, and more than half of the grown-up princes of the emperor. "

The official sighed softly, "Isn't there still Prince Min and Prince Jing? Especially Prince Jing not only saved the emperor, but also saved all the honorable officials of the Manchu dynasty during the mutiny. king."

Yunwei could no longer hear their whispered discussions.

It's no wonder that in recent days, more and more officials came to visit Prince Jing's mansion to thank Prince Jing for saving his life in a mysterious way.

When she had to go out to socialize with wives, there was always a group of wives who followed her, who were enthusiastic and flattering to her.

Yunwei wondered if Jiang brought them money so that they could talk loudly in front of their husbands without asking for money.

It turned out that the old part of the Yang family began to support Prince Jing, and Prince Jing's strength had grown tremendously.

Originally, after King Jing passed on to Landlord Mu, there was no hope, and he was no longer the emperor's prince. The rumor that Duke Yang sent guards to protect Mu Yang, no, no one believed it was just a rumor.

It was not true, and it was true in the eyes of the courtiers.

Mu Yang was a young powerful minister before, and he handed over the military power tiger talisman to the emperor, and the generals Mu Yang used are still in charge of the army.

With the support of the Yang family and the founder of the country, once the emperor changes, the king of Wei and the king of Zhao...are abolished, and Mu Yang can at least be a regent!

Yun Wei shook off the absurd thoughts in her head, quickened her pace, and must leave the capital as soon as possible!

No one can force Mu Yang to do what he doesn't want to do, one or two can't do it, millions of people beg Mu Yang to take power and regent... The officials regard Mu Yang as the great savior to prevent Queen Yang from taking power.

After all, they couldn't fault the government affairs handled by Empress Yang, so they could only pin their hopes on Mu Yang.

They don't want to kowtow to the empress.

The female marquis was waiting at the yamen early, and when she saw Yunwei entering, she couldn't help showing a smile on her face, which made the officials at the side secretly heave a sigh of relief.

I also feel that the female marquis is really pitiful. As a mother, she has done wrong and wants to make up for it. Mrs. Jiang is no stranger to Princess Jing.

I just beg the female marquis not to disturb their peaceful days!
The female marquis looked at Yun Wei not at Princess Jing or her granddaughter or relatives, but at redemption.

The officials of the Department of Education felt a little sour.

The female marquis took the initiative to stand up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you go slowly, I'm talking to them about the lack of books, and I plan to choose Jiang... The paper from Mrs. Jiang's workshop is not for your sake, Mrs. Jiang The paper produced by the workshop under my name is white and soft, suitable for making books."

She has fair skin and beautiful cheeks, and she is even more beautiful after getting married.

Moreover, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of comfort, and her whole person was brimming with happiness.

The queen is completely relieved, Prince Jing's child...is not King Min, and Weiwei is not the former Jiang family. The young couple are harmonious and affectionate, and Mu Yang takes good care of Yunwei.

Yunwei bowed her knees to the female marquis, and received the salutes from the officials, she is now Princess Jing, no matter her status or imperial order, all the officials in the border region need to salute her.

"I think the paper used for booklets... it's best to find a few more companies, and choose the most cost-effective paper according to the bidding method."

Yunwei said: "The quality of the paper in my mother's workshop is good, but the price is relatively high, but the books used by the elementary school can't use such good paper. My mother said that the books for the elementary school can be made at the cost price. Mengxue's support.

But she is still a businessman. She does not need to make money, but she can survive the loss of money for a year or two. If she loses money for ten or eight years, her business will be dragged down by the cost price.

I can accept that Mrs. Jiang donates part of her profits every year to start a girls' elementary school, but I don't want to use the paper from the workshop under her name as a booklet. "

Queen: "..."

"If you want to learn for a long time, you must let merchants earn money. After all, apart from paper, you also need pens, inks and inkstones. Does it mean that they don't have to give away for nothing?

My mother has the strength to pay the price, they may not be able to do it, even if they have come, isn't this a moral kidnapping with my mother's good deeds?Once corners are cut, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones are used by children, and the good ones are replaced by bad ones. Children are weak and easy to get sick. "

Yunwei took a deep breath, "Being educated is for their own good, they used poisonous books and pens and ink, and caused the root cause of the disease, which harmed them.

Illiteracy can't kill them, but poisonous and cheap pens, inks, papers and inkstones may damage their health. "

Yunwei gave time for the officials and the female marquis to react, and finally said: "The paper workshop under my mother's name is a high-end line, and the sales are expensive. Okay, with my father's literary name, it makes less paper. That’s smashing the signboard.”

"So, for the kindness of the Marquis, I took it on behalf of my mother. My mother wanted to support Empress Yang's establishment of Mengxue, but the best way to use paper for books and other necessary things is to invite bids.

Gather the merchants who are interested in supplying goods, set a good reserve price, let them make a profit, and buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones suitable for Mongolian children at the lowest price. "

Yunwei carefully talked with Nvhou and others about how to invite bids, how to determine the reserve price and other matters.

Although the female marquis was embarrassed, she nodded as she listened, and sighed: "This method is good, I am old and not as smart as Princess Jing, I think I can report this method to the emperor.

In the future, the Ministry of Industry can also use this method for large-scale construction work. Although it is necessary to get some benefits, it is better than directly using close people. At least the amount of money used is clearly explained, and it can save a lot of money. "

The female marquis has experienced officialdom, so corruption cannot be eradicated, and as far as possible, less people will be corrupted, and the quality of construction projects will be better.

Yunwei said: "Let's continue discussing Meng Xue's books... My mother's paper craftsman has newly developed a new type of paper, which is not as white and fine as the current paper, but the materials for making paper are easy to find and save money. It is suitable for reading to Meng children." books to use."

The female marquis looked at Yunwei in surprise, isn't this going back? "What do you want? Or is your mother going to run another paper-making workshop? Specially provide..."

"No, no, it is enough for my mother to have a high-end business. She intends to present the method of making paper to the empress. She can ask the empress to send someone to supervise this matter. Of course, if someone else makes paper cheaper and better, You can also use the paper-making method."

Yunwei flicked her fingers lightly, squinted a few times at an adult, and said calmly: "In short, everything is done according to the empress's wishes, the poor students who are favored by the empress, weak girls should remember who is the one who opened their hearts. people who know.

The empress can do good deeds without asking for anything in return, but I think one should know how to be grateful, to be grateful to those who really let them go from ignorance to civilization.Instead of the hypocrites who saw the benefits and rushed to steal the credit of the empress. "

The faces of the adults and the others flushed red, their lips trembling.

Yun Wei smiled lightly and said: "I speak directly. You are all insightful people who have joined the Education Department. You are willing to work hard for Mengtong, but don't be fooled by the number. Let me remind you, if you want fame and fortune, don't go to the wrong office.

The yamen of the official department and the household department is a good place to get promoted and make a fortune. You have worked hard for ten years to learn, and it will take twenty years or even a lifetime to get the benefits of fame.

It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to educate people. This sentence should be written at the gate of the yamen. I will go to the palace to ask for the empress's calligraphy, and I will spend money to engrave it on the stone tablet outside. "

An adult and other officials: "..."

Their small thoughts were shattered by Yunwei's words, and some of them retreated.

Thought it was a good job, and according to Princess Jing, they could only teach Mengtong?

When the students they teach become officials through the imperial examination, they don't know if they will survive to that time.

"Let me talk to the female prince first. Regarding the enlightenment of girls, the empress thinks that girls should be started first, and talent should be put aside when choosing teachers for girls. The most important thing is character!"

Yun Wei didn't seem to see that the officials were unhappy, and continued: "Actually, I suggest that it is best for a woman who can read and write to be the teacher of the girls' school. Women are delicate in mind, patient and patient, and are most suitable to be teachers of girls."

"Princess Jing, I still have some things to do, I'm going out first, you can discuss with the female marquis about women's studies."

After one person left, many people were taken away one after another.

Hou said disappointedly: "Why do you have to be explicit? You deliberately said these words to drive people away."

"Sooner or later you have to leave, leave early to make room for like-minded people." Yunwei squinted her eyes and said, "I want to let them understand that education is not for fame and fortune, to endure poverty, to endure loneliness .”
