Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Everyone looked at each other.

If that's the case, then Cangwu only needs to produce grain in the first year. In the second year, they can use oxen to plow and expand production, and use the extra grain to buy horses, cattle, and sheep...

Then the cycle continues indefinitely...

Isn’t this a huge profit?

Song Jinxiu continued, "Your Majesty, we have a lot of wasteland in Cangwu. If we have cattle, Your Majesty can encourage the people to open up the wasteland.

For example, reclaimed land will be exempt from tax for three years, and for those who cannot afford to buy oxen, the government can issue small agricultural loans.

It means lending them money to buy cattle, so that they can reclaim more wasteland with cattle.

In this way, not only will the enthusiasm of the people for land reclamation be aroused, but Your Majesty will also be deeply loved by the people!"

Minister of Industry: Who said that children don't understand anything? Look at this little guy, he's talking so clearly and logically.

Who here isn't a shrewd and calculating person, a rare talent? Who can compare to this child?

Minister of Revenue: Why do you feel so short-sighted? You don't have the far-sightedness of a little kid.

Everyone: Look at the flattery he is giving. We know without even looking that the emperor must be in a very good mood right now.

Song Jinxiu glanced at the stunned crowd, smiled slyly, and continued:

"Wait a few years, and our Cangwu army will be strong and powerful. If Beirong is obedient and raises horses, cattle and sheep for us, that would be fine. If not, we will directly destroy him and make Beirong officially our sheep and horse farm in Cangwu."

Everyone: Is this possible?

Is the little girl so vicious?

But it sounds so good!

As Song Jinxiu spoke, she clapped her hands. "Oh my! The more I think about it, the more promising our Cangwu is. We share the mountains and rivers! I'm so smart! Why didn't I think of this before?"

Everyone: ...Are you bragging about this?

Marquis Pingyang: How shameless!

Zhou Kunran: I seem to have become a clown again.

Emperor Liu Renxiu was so excited by what the little girl said that he couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha...Lord Song is indeed intelligent. What a blessing to Cangwu!"

Song Jinxiu is in the spotlight again.

The usually solemn and tense morning court, which was discussing such a crucial military and national matter as the Autumn Defense, was turned into a party by her alone. Everyone else became her foil.

Moreover, the method proposed by others seemed to be quite good, and they were actually very excited and started to come up with ideas on how to implement it.

The little girl just opens her mouth and they run themselves to pieces!

Song Jinxiu happily went home from court, changed her clothes in a hurry and went to the Imperial College.

The Imperial College is located in Dongcheng District, right next to the moat of the imperial palace.

When Song Jinxiu arrived, it was already past nine in the morning.

At this time, the gate of the Imperial College was open, and two strong guards were guarding the door.

Song Jinxiu got off the carriage and walked up the stairs.

"Stop, this is the Imperial College. It's the time for students to have classes. All outsiders, please leave immediately." A guard shouted.

Another guard said, "Miss, if you're looking for someone, come back after the students are done with their classes."

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "I'm a new doctor, can I come in?"

"What? What did she say?" one guard asked another.

"Oh, I heard that a new doctor is coming today. This girl is probably the doctor's follower."

"Are you here to ask for leave for your doctor? You don't need to go in. Assistant Professor Zhang has been waiting for a long time. Just tell him."

When Assistant Instructor Zhang heard the sound, he hurried out from the lobby, glanced at Song Jinxiu, and then looked behind her.

Song Jinxiu didn't know that someone was waiting for her, and said a little embarrassedly: "Don't look, I'm the new doctor, I didn't know you were waiting for me."

As she spoke, she took out her badge and handed it over.

Zhang Feng took the badge and looked at it, and was shocked.

He politely returned the badge and said with a smile, "I only heard that the new doctor was a girl, but I didn't expect Dr. Song to be so young."

He said, bowing, "My name is Zhang Feng, and I'm Dr. Song's teaching assistant. Please come in, Dr. Song. The chief priest is waiting in the doctoral hall."

Under the surprised gazes of the two guards, Song Jinxiu strode into the Imperial College.

At this time, except for those who were in class, everyone was sitting in the doctoral hall.

The Doctoral Hall is where teachers prepare lessons and work.

Some people were preparing handouts, some were correcting students' homework, and some were sitting and drinking tea.

"Master Jijiu, is Dr. Song not coming today?"

"You didn't even tell me you weren't coming. I even asked the students to prepare a welcome ceremony today, but in the end, no one showed up."

"If you ask me, how can a woman be a doctor? This isn't a market. Come if you want to, don't come if you don't want to."

"That's right. Since ancient times, women have been considered virtuous without talent. Women don't need to be smart. Their duty is to stay at home, get married, and have children."

"I agree. A learned person should be a good wife and mother. Being a teacher is simply ridiculous."

The Imperial College's chief academic officer snorted coldly, "Hmph! Shut up, everyone! Are you doubting the Emperor's decision?"

"I dare not,"

"Don't dare."

"If you don't dare, then shut up. We teach students not to criticize others behind their backs, but if you don't set the example yourself, how can you be a role model?"

As soon as I reached the door of the Doctoral Hall, I heard discussions inside.

Zhang Feng blushed and said, "They're not usually like this. It might be because of the dry autumn weather that they're getting hot."

Song Jinxiu chuckled softly, "I'm not angry, it's just because I'm unknown, have no background, and am a woman."

Zhang Feng: Also, because they are all doctors, they start from the seventh rank and can be promoted to the sixth rank in ten years. They have to work hard for half their lives to be promoted to the fifth rank.

And you're a fifth-rank official right from the start. You're so young yet you're clearly dominating others. Isn't this just attracting hatred?

Song Jinxiu stood at the door with a half-smile on her face. Zhang Feng suddenly felt uneasy. He strode into the lobby and shouted, "Dr. Song is here."

Everyone looked over immediately.

Song Jinxiu stood at the door, the rising sun behind her. She seemed to have walked out of the light.

Glancing at everyone, she walked directly to the Imperial College's chief priest and said with a smile, "I'm sorry. I thought I wouldn't be late for reporting after the court session, but I didn't expect to keep you waiting for so long. I'm truly sorry."

The chief academician of the Imperial College was about fifty years old. He had already received the notice and knew that Song Jinxiu was a teenage girl.

He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you attend the morning court today? Isn't there a meeting today?"

Song Jinxiu smiled sweetly, "Yes, the emperor sent a message to ask me to go yesterday."

Everyone: Is this the PhD in mathematics? Isn't this some cute girl trying to trick people?

Still, still going to court?

Do you think you are a princess?

Even if she was a fifth-rank official, she couldn't attend the morning court whenever she wanted, right? She couldn't even enter the palace, right?

"Master Jijiu, isn't this nonsense? If you're late, just say you're late. Lying is not what a teacher should do."

Song Jinxiu looked over coldly. The person who spoke was the one who advocated that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent and told her to go home, get married and have children.

She asked coldly: "Who are you?"

Zhang Feng quickly introduced: "This is Dr. Feng Cheng, who teaches the Analects."

Oh, the Analects?

Song Jinxiu sneered in her heart.
