In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

"Well, although I have learned a lot, I have no use for it. I can neither serve in the court to uphold justice nor go to the battlefield. I might as well teach students."

Xu Sijing spoke calmly. Although their relationship had changed, she still maintained her composure perfectly.

"That's no problem, but not just anyone can attend a private school. In my opinion, we should revise the school."

After looking around, Chen Shan immediately offered his opinion.

"Change it? Sir, isn't the private school quite good? It can also help supplement the family income; otherwise, with your salary, it probably wouldn't be enough."

After all, they knew that Chen Shan not only had the Trapped Camp, but also the Black Ice Guard.

With Xiao Ningning, who understands the military, she naturally knows that just maintaining these soldiers would cost a considerable amount of money.

Private soldiers don't receive salaries from the imperial court, and the Black Ice Guard is so secretive, so Chen Shan has to bear the burden himself.

"No need. Private schools are only for the children of wealthy and powerful families."

"And those students wouldn't come to an obscure private school."

"Sijing, you are a great Confucian scholar, you should know that scholarship has no boundaries, but you also know how obvious these boundaries are in the Seven Kingdoms."

"Therefore, we might as well turn the private school into an academy, so that even children from ordinary families can come and study."

Soon, Chen Shan briefly recounted the things he had experienced in his previous life.

However, since they are doing this themselves, they don't have much support besides Chen Shan.

"My lord, this is certainly a good idea, but those high-ranking officials and nobles will probably not agree."

"Although running schools outside the capital does not require the permission of the imperial court, it will still attract the attention of Confucian scholars. If they were to teach the common people, it would inevitably cause a disturbance."

Xu Sijing was a little worried. She had considered it, as she was among the great scholars and knew best what kind of people those literati were.

They consider themselves superior and arrogant.

Even those who come from humble backgrounds look down on those from the lower classes.

Those without official rank are like this, and those with official rank and position are even worse off.

"It's alright. If they dare to cause trouble, just kill them. Everything can be settled."

Just do what you think is right.

"The creation of written language was never intended to serve those intellectuals; it was merely used by them as a stepping stone."

Xu Sijing benefited greatly from Chen Shan's words and accepted his suggestion.

"I'll try to get some people involved in this. After all, we don't have enough names. Sijing, use your name for now, and I'll get some more people later."

If this matter is successfully accomplished, the impact will be significant.

Xu Sijing had her own ideas, and Chen Shan naturally supported her.

"Xiaoya, you should think things through regarding your business as well. I estimate that your father-in-law will arrive soon. At that time, you can just focus on doing a good job in business."

Chen Shan gave repeated instructions.

Each of them had their own things they wanted to do, and Chen Shan didn't stop them.

In contrast, Liu Ruyu focused entirely on her home and on Chen Shan.

She had always wanted to have a child with Chen Shan, and in addition to learning some methods to nourish her body, she was also improving her skills.

She often brings Chen Shan some surprises at night.

As for Xiao Ningning, this girl is still quite troublesome right now, and she doesn't have much she wants to do, so she just follows around and keeps busy.

The same was true of the people of Chu.

Mo Yiyao, on the other hand, was focused on studying military technology.

Just as Chen Shan was looking at the women with a gratified expression, a commotion came from outside.

"Be gentle, everyone. These are His Highness's belongings; they can't be damaged."

With the combined power of six stones and nine oxen and two tigers, Chen Shan's five senses were already stronger than ordinary people, so he naturally heard the commotion outside the courtyard clearly.

The phrase "Your Highness" in particular puzzled Chen Shan.

He quickly walked out of the courtyard gate.

At first glance, wow, a whole convoy stopped right in front of the courtyard next to Chen Shan's.

Looking again, the person mentioned earlier was clearly a eunuch.

A group of guards and palace maids were busy unloading from the carriage.

Chen Shan found this scene strange as well.

This is the outer city; when would palace maids and eunuchs appear? Besides, those guards are no ordinary people either.

Even their attire was different from that of the city defense battalion.

They are clearly imperial guards!

"Chen Shan, we meet again."

Just as Chen Shan was wondering, another luxurious carriage arrived. Huangfu Yueling stepped out of the carriage, smiling and greeting him warmly.

Chen Shan was stunned by this scene.

What kind of trouble is Huangfu Yueling causing now? Is she determined to pull me into a rebellion?

Chen Shan was speechless.

Seeing Huangfu Yue approach, he immediately asked, "What are you doing here? What are you, a princess, doing in this outer city?"

Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?

Huangfu Yueling didn't care at all when Chen Shan questioned her.

"So what? I'm just observing the people's conditions. Besides, there's nowhere I can't stay."

"If we live closer, wouldn't that give you a better chance to get what you want?"

"I am a princess."

"This is a huge bargain for you."

Huangfu Yueling became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she had really given Chen Shan a chance to take advantage of her.

Especially her comment about being "close to the water tower and getting the moon first" made Chen Shan feel embarrassed.

This woman is truly unpredictable.

"Princess Ninth, you wouldn't be thinking of seducing me with your body so you can help me rebel, would you?"

"Tsk... Although you are a princess, your body is... not bad, but your behavior is really suspicious."

Chen Shan spoke.

He finally understood: this woman was simply trying to give herself away for free.

I just don't understand, why would she give it away for free? Was it really just for the sake of rebellion? At any cost?

Thinking of the rumors surrounding Huangfu Yueling, and the fact that this woman herself is not simple.

Her actions made Chen Shan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"What do you mean by 'just passable'?"

"I am a beauty, after all. Countless princes from various countries have sought my hand in marriage, but I have refused them all. And now you dare to complain?"

Huangfu Yueling glared at Chen Shan, clearly displeased.

Undoubtedly, Chen Shan's words immediately angered her, making her original plan backfire.

"You don't mind? These days, if a woman comes knocking on my door, how could I refuse?"

Chen Shan chuckled as he spoke. If the system hadn't failed to improve his favorability rating, and Huangfu Yueling's favorability rating hadn't even reached 80, Chen Shan would have almost believed the woman's words.

Sure enough, you can't completely trust what women say.

If it weren't for the system, he really wouldn't be able to figure out Huangfu Yueling's attitude.

"Go away, go away. This princess isn't someone you can just give away for free. You should at least show some sincerity."

"Anyway, I live right next to your house. This is an opportunity for you, so you'd better seize it."
