The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

The court officials were all surprised to learn that the emperor had promoted Princess Yongkang to the rank of third-rank county princess.

The next day, the officials submitted a report.

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty looked at the five officials who came out to report and seemed to be smiling.

The officials were sweating profusely when they saw the emperor in such a state.

Wei Mingxun, a scholar from the Imperial Academy, stepped out and said, "I have a memorial to make. Since the gentlemen are not convinced, Your Majesty can convince them. In this way, no one will dare to discuss this matter again in the future."

The emperor always has reasons for what he does. Since the other party is a fox girl, she must have her own strengths.

Yuan Shundi also agreed with the Grand Secretary's words. Before he could speak, another official seconded the proposal. Yuan Shundi looked and saw that it was the Minister of the Dali Temple.

Emperor Yuan Shun raised his lips slightly and said, "In that case, I will follow the advice of the Grand Secretary and the Supreme Court Minister. Li Jiang."

"The old slave is here."

"Give the secret letter and the memorials from local officials to the Grand Tutor."

When Li Jiang heard this, he immediately understood what the emperor meant.

"Yes."

Emperor Shundi of Yuan Dynasty looked at the quietly standing Taifu and said solemnly, "I am sorry for any inaccuracies in my comments. I would like to trouble you to read my reports one by one."

Grand Tutor Fu Yuncheng stepped out and bowed respectfully, "I obey your command."

He reached out to take it and first reported the memorial to the local officials.

"Your servant Zhang Zhiwen, since the arrival of the Yongkang County Lord, we have bought mountains to bring water so that the people can irrigate their fields. The County Lord specially bought ten cows to help the people plow the fields. Therefore, before the last minute, all villages and towns accepted the rice seedlings and corn seedlings that the County Lord had people cultivate in advance. All these actions touched the people."

"After returning to the county, the county lord discussed with me that the participants in the mountain land reclamation would receive 20 coins, with food and accommodation provided. A total of 18,000 people were registered. In order to improve the living standards of the people again, the county lord's mansion purchased a large number of orchids. With the opening of hot pot shops, vegetable markets and other shops, many people were able to work and supplement their family income, which directly and indirectly promoted the economy of Nanning County."

"The county lord has funded more than 20 teachers to teach people in the mansion and the shop to read and write, and further improve everyone's cultural literacy. The people who come to the shop have been subtly influenced and their personal literacy has improved."

"I am incompetent and can only assist the county lord in manpower. I thank the emperor for sending the county lord to Nanning County so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

After reading Zhang Zhiwen's memorial, Fu Yuncheng's eyes became slightly moist as he imagined the changes in Nanning County.

"Zhang Zhiwen's memorial and secret letter have roughly the same content. After reading the memorial, I have a deep feeling that our dynasty is lucky to have such a girl. Your Majesty is wise and has not let such a virtuous and talented person go unnoticed. I admire you."

The officials who grew up in relatively poor families were deeply moved after hearing Taifu Fu reading the newspaper.

As the highest agricultural official in the Dalin Dynasty, Grand Minister of Agriculture Xie Enxing cherished and protected crops very much. After listening to what Grand Tutor Fu said, he spoke slowly.

"No matter what, Princess Yongkang has done so many practical things for the people, she deserves the rank of a third-rank Princess. And the Emperor always promotes people step by step, there is no such thing as skipping levels."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuncheng nodded.

"The Minister of Agriculture has a point. If you are not convinced, you can also donate money to improve the lives of the people. If you do a good job and gain the sincere support of the people, I believe the emperor will also reward you."

Lord Lin, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, calculated, "Princess Yongkang bought a mountain, hired workers, provided food and lodging, invited teachers, opened a shop, etc. These are not things that ordinary people can do. Not to mention the manpower and materials, the silver alone consumed is probably not enough for our many years of salary. Princess Yongkang is so young, but she can be so bold. We are ashamed of ourselves."

He was an official in the Ministry of Revenue, and his concept of money was better than anyone else. If he were asked to take out tens of thousands of taels, or even spend it continuously, even his whole family would not dare to do it.

Liu Sishan, the Minister of the Dali Temple, said calmly, "According to the analysis of the Right Assistant Minister, the Princess of Yongkang County would have lost tens of thousands of taels."

The ministers were shocked when they heard this. They were unwilling to pay such a large amount.

Since then, no one has discussed this matter again. Of course, Shen Jiarou was unaware of these things, and she continued to do her own things every day, leading a fulfilling and interesting life.

In the lecture hall, a teacher was giving a lecture slowly.

"If you do good, even if you are a humble scholar, people will admire your virtue; if you do evil, even if you are a high-ranking official, people will criticize your faults. Therefore, virtue is the foundation of being a human being, and wealth is secondary."

"It means: if you do good things and become a good person, even if you are poor, people will admire your morality; if you do bad things, even if you are in a high position and are a minister, people will talk about your faults."

Shen Jiarou and others couldn't keep up with the pace at first, but after communicating with the teacher, they were able to follow the pace normally from easy to difficult.

Listening to the teacher's explanation, Shen Jiarou quickly annotated its meaning.

In the County Princess's Mansion, the only teacher who teaches the County Princess and others is Mr. Xie.

There were only seven students on the entire podium. Except for Shen Jiarou, the rest were her maids and guards.

Seeing that the get out of class was about to end, Mr. Xie put down his book.

"That's all for today's class."

Shen Jiarou, Ruan Qingling and others bowed respectfully, "Goodbye, sir!"

Mr. Xie left the lecture hall first with the book, followed by Shen Jiarou and others.

Along the way, Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong were relatively quiet, Zhen Luosang, Yuansuan Shuang and Yaer were discussing homework with each other, and Ruan Qingling was asking Shen Jiarou.

"County Lord, we have been here for a few months, but we need to go and have a look at the other two fiefdoms."

Shen Jiarou paused when she heard this. She had been so busy lately that she had forgotten about this.

"Let's discuss this with the maids first."

As a first-class maid, Ruan Qingling always puts her master's affairs first.

"Yes."

In the backyard, Nanny Wang, Nanny Su and Nanny He were chatting.

Nanny Wang suddenly said in a serious tone, "The county lady should go to the other two fiefdoms to have a look. We will bring up this matter after the county lady leaves office."

Nanny Su and Nanny He looked at each other quietly and nodded slightly.

"Yes."

On the way back to the main courtyard, Zhang Zirou had to pass through the backyard. She saw several maids from afar. She looked up at the master walking gracefully in front of her and quickened her pace.

"County Lady, the three maids are in front."

Shen Jiarou was startled, looked up, and saw three people. Seeing this, she walked over.

Nanny Su was the first to see her and stood up to greet her.

"This old servant greets the county lady."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang and Nanny Su quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"This old servant greets the county lady."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and said, "No need to be polite."

When Nanny Wang saw the county lady appear, she said solemnly, "County lady, when do you decide to go to Fenghe County and Shundao County? We old servants should be ready."

Seeing that Nanny Wang was thinking about this, Shen Jiarou stroked her skirt and sat down, pursing her lips slightly.

"I will make a decision after I ask the gentleman tomorrow."

Hearing this, Nanny Wang nodded slightly, "Yes."

The next day, after class, Shen Jiarou called Mr. Xie and bowed to him respectfully.

"Sir, I have something to tell you."

Mr. Xie stopped and stood still, bowing respectfully.
