Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

Chunxiang was very fast and soon came in with other people.

When Xiao Lengyue saw that everyone had arrived, he went straight to the tea room and asked everyone to sit down before he expressed his thoughts.

But after she finished speaking, everyone was shocked. They all looked at Xiao Lengyue with disbelief in their eyes.

After the Minister of Personnel realized what was happening, he frowned and said, "Your Majesty, if this is really going to be done, the money, manpower and resources required are not simple matters."

The Minister of Finance nodded quickly and said with a bitter face: "Yes, Your Majesty, there is not so much silver in the treasury now."

Xiao Lengyue looked at them and said in a deep voice: "I have checked, the silver in the treasury can fully support it."

She had wanted to open a private school in every place before. The private school did not need to be too good, as it was mainly used to provide enlightenment for children.

The teacher there doesn't have to be that good, just finding a scholar can solve the problem of enlightenment.

Old Master Murong pondered for a while, then looked at Xiao Lengyue and said, "Your Majesty, can you tell me more about it?"

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "I want to open a private school in every place.

The main purpose of private schools is to provide free enlightenment to children. I don't require all of them to take the imperial examinations, I just hope that they don't act blindly.

Ordinary people are illiterate, and many of them have been tricked into selling their children. Do you know about these things? "

Everyone knew about it, but because no one reported it to the police, no one cared.

Xiao Lengyue guessed it by looking at their expressions. She snorted coldly and looked at them and said, "You didn't take it seriously because you were tricked into selling it. It's not your family, right?"

At this time, the Minister of Justice said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to intervene, but even if those people know they have been cheated, as long as those people say that the money will be returned to them, they will all shut up.

Moreover, those who were sold were almost all girls.”

"So, I opened this private school this time mainly for those girls."

When Xiao Lengyue said this, everyone was surprised.

"So this time, you must be careful when selecting people. You can't look for biased teachers. What our private school needs is a teacher who can treat men and women fairly."

Seeing that Xiao Lengyue had made up her mind, Leng Shaobin did not say anything else, but said worriedly: "But not all people are willing to send their children to school."

“They will be willing to enroll for free, and as for writing brushes, inkstones, it’s okay if they don’t want to buy them. The main thing is to teach them how to read.

If they really want to learn, they can also learn by using branches on the ground.

I believe that under such conditions, as long as the parents are not stupid, they will send the child there."

Old Master Murong thought for a long time with a sullen face, then frowned and said, “But it is very difficult to find a teacher who can treat men and women equally.

Many of them are just talking but cannot be done at all.”

"I understand, so I need the government to conduct follow-up undercover investigations. If any teacher is found to be hypocritical, he should be replaced immediately.

I believe that there will be good teachers who are willing to teach those good children."

Old Master Murong nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me what you need me to do."

The others also looked at Xiao Lengyue, and after realizing that it was useless for them to object, they chose to accept it.

Seeing that they were silent, Xiao Lengyue smiled and said, "Very good, then tomorrow, when I go to court, I will assign tasks to you, my dear ministers."

On the second day, Xiao Lengyue told this matter in the court. When he saw that no officials objected, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

She handed this matter over to the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue, and as for the assistants, she let them choose themselves.

Afterwards, Xiao Lengyue learned from a letter from Yinyue Palace that the Minister of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue cooperated very well.

Instead of building a house, they found a suitable village, selected an empty house and renovated it directly, of course, making sure that the house would not collapse.

If there is no suitable yard, they will choose a location and build a house directly.

After the people learned the news, the village chief of the selected village took the initiative to let the court use the courtyard to run a school free of charge.

Those who needed to build houses did not ask the court for money. This was a situation that the Minister of Personnel had not expected.

Although he was a little older, he was still very strong, so he went directly to the village to choose a site.

He had already prepared for the possibility that the people would disagree or resist, but he did not expect that things would turn out so differently than he had expected.

Looking at the light in the villagers' eyes, he suddenly realized that his Majesty really cared about the people.

This matter went surprisingly smoothly, except that it took a little longer to find a teacher. However, when he saw the village children sitting in the school and learning to read seriously, the Minister of Personnel felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

After that, he paid more attention to this matter, and the people, in addition to thanking the emperor for his wisdom, regained their trust in the court officials.

They had already given up on the officials before, but since the empress ascended the throne, their lives have been getting better and better, and the officials have also been getting better and better.

Although they are illiterate and do not understand the big principles, they can see these changes.

Ever since Xiao Lengyue successfully drew Qi into her body, after a period of practice, she can now clearly sense the light of merit.

Recently, she could feel a steady stream of merit light flowing into her body every day, and the most obvious thing was that her cultivation speed was much faster than before.

Although spiritual energy is scarce, it is still enough because few people practice it.

In the following year, the Minister of Personnel opened private schools all over the country, while the Minister of Revenue was in charge of logistics.

The people in the east and west gradually got used to the management of the Yuan Dynasty, and their lives are now much better than before.

The princes who were brought to the capital before were a little dishonest at first, but Xiao Lengyue didn't care at all.

When they learned from their subordinates how well the people were living now, they gave up those unnecessary thoughts.

Except for not being able to leave the capital, they can actually move freely in the capital.

They can see that the lives of the people in the capital are getting better and better, and they have also heard about the decisions made by His Majesty.

However, they have never believed that His Majesty would treat the people in their area the same way as those in the capital, and they are worried that they will be treated differently.

Ever since I met a subordinate last time and learned from him that the people were living a good life, I stopped worrying about it.

The residences of the eastern and western princes were very close. Xiao Lengyue certainly knew that they had private contact, but she didn't care.

After discovering that they had behaved themselves, Xiao Lengyue sent someone to investigate, and when he learned the reason, he just smiled.
