Zhang Wanting's brows immediately lit up with joy, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"You don't have to thank me. I have something important I need your help with." Zhong Ning put down the teacup and continued, "Your Majesty's condition has improved, and he will probably be able to attend court before the Spring Examination. I want to use this time to establish a women's vocational and technical college in the name of the Regent Princess."

"Your Highness means that you want to enlighten all the women in the world?"

"That's about it, but on the surface, the focus will be on learning skills first, with separate classes for embroidery, dressmaking, hairpin making, abacus, medical care, etc."

"Secretly, when offering courses, we should also incorporate literacy training into the curriculum. We don't expect them to pass the imperial examinations, but we do hope that they can understand the truth and comprehend the nature of things."

"This will be established in my name. You'll need to help with the details... I'll send two people to assist you in opening this women's vocational and technical college."

Hearing this, Zhang Wanting couldn't help but point at herself, "Me? Can I?"

"Of course you can. You come from a later generation and have received an elite education since childhood. Your vision and knowledge are much higher than those of women of this era."

"You should have this confidence!"

Zhong Ning's eyes were full of affirmation, and Zhang Wanting immediately straightened her back.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best!"

"Well, for the initial capital needed for the establishment, I will first provide five thousand taels. You can first find a suitable house. After renting it, have someone do some simple renovations. As for the female teachers who will teach the various disciplines, I will send people to select them and send them over."

"You should do the preliminary work first. Later, I will bring in some noble ladies to help facilitate this matter."

"Your Highness, I feel more confident now." Zhang Wanting smiled. She has always wanted to do something for this era, but she was in the harem, restricted in her hands and feet, and had limited information. She didn't know where to start.

Now, her fellow villagers have arranged everything for her. From now on, she is the first principal of this women's college.

Oh, no, it’s the executive vice president.

Of course, the principal must be Her Royal Highness the Princess!

Lu Xingzhou stood aside and echoed, "Your Highness wants to do something for the women of the world. That's great. If there's anything I can help with, please feel free to ask!"

"Okay, I won't be polite," Zhong Ning smiled and continued, "If women all over the world knew that Captain Lu, who is so busy with affairs of state, is so kind-hearted, they would definitely be very grateful!"

"Your Highness, please don't make fun of me..." Lu Xingzhou's old face flushed, "I will soon set up a military camp. I am away all year round and can't take care of many things. I also ask Your Highness to take good care of Wanting..."

"Oh my... We just met today and you're already so concerned about me..." Zhong Ning glanced at Zhang Wanting and saw that her face was blushing but she was still smiling.

The posture seemed to say, there is no young handsome guy that I can't take down when I take action.

Lu Xingzhou coughed lightly and said unnaturally, "I never thought that love at first sight could really exist in this world...Wanting has a gentle appearance, is as beautiful as a flower, and has a kind nature..."

Zhang Wanting blushed even more, "Lord Lu is also like a bright moon and a gentle breeze..."

Zhong Ning:........Speak human language.

Lu Xingzhou: Wanting is beautiful and sensible, I like her very much!

Zhang Wanting: The governor of the provincial capital is handsome, just my type!

The two looked at each other tacitly, their eyes were so ambiguous that they seemed to be drawing threads, and the air was full of pink bubbles.

Zhong Ning drank the tea in the cup silently and didn't want to talk to them anymore.

At this moment, she missed her Master Gu and Lord Qi very much.

Oh, Master Gu still has some issues that he hasn't thought through clearly, so she should think more about Master Qi first...

........

In the Imperial Guards camp.

The commander of the imperial guards, Qin Mo, looked at the quilt folded into a tofu block in front of him and the spotless room and fell into deep thought.

This was the residence he prepared specifically for the first batch of ten soldiers from the Firearm Battalion who returned from the Imperial Farm.

Originally, I didn't think there was any difference between them and the existing imperial guards after they joined the Firearms Battalion.

But after just one day, he discovered that the soldiers specially trained by Lu Jianzheng crushed the imperial guards in terms of spirit and internal affairs.

Deputy Commander Zhang He was also stunned:

"Sir, are the people trained in this firearms battalion so strict with themselves?"

"This first item alone has directly eliminated many of the roughnecks in the army. They are all good at it, but organizing the internal affairs is really difficult..."

Du Yu Hou Cen Jing stroked his chin and exclaimed in admiration: "Let's not talk about anything else, just this internal affairs is really eye-catching..."

"Humph, if good housekeeping can get you into the Firearms Battalion, then why not just let the servant who's best at cleaning go in?"

Qin Mo snorted coldly, then added, "I absolutely do not believe that Lu Xingzhou could turn the former imperial guards into elite talents in just one month of training."

"Let's just talk about internal affairs. I want to see how he chooses tomorrow!"

Cen Jing looked at his commander's face, which was filled with fear, and then said cautiously:

"I just received news that Master Lu will go to one of the three camps outside the city tomorrow to make a selection."

"Our imperial guards were selected by Princess Zhaohua herself!"

After hearing this, Qin Mo frowned slightly. Although Princess Zhaohua was skilled in martial arts, she was only a woman after all.

Women joining the military?

This is really...

Qin Mo's face flushed, and he hesitated to speak.

Cen Jing saw what he was thinking, sighed, and gently advised: "Sir, although Princess Zhaohua is a woman, she is still better than men. Even the court is now under her regent. Why can't she go to the military camp?"

Zhang He also echoed:

"If Princess Zhaohua had dared to enter the military camp and play tricks on us before, I would have reported it to the emperor. But when Kyoto was in turmoil, she single-handedly turned the tide, shooting Prince Cheng to death in public in the court, and then climbing up the city wall alone to scare away all the soldiers in the camp who were planning to rebel."

"Just for these two points, I, Old Zhang, admire her!"

"Don't even mention that she's just here to screen talent for the Firearms Battalion tomorrow. Even if she asks me, Old Zhang, to kowtow three times and nine times, I'll do it without hesitation."

Qin Mo was silent for a long time, and suddenly realized that his thinking was still too rigid. He only thought that women could only stay at home and take care of domestic affairs.

I never thought that Dayong would have a person like Princess Zhaohua who dares to compete with men!

Qin Mo suddenly remembered that day when the city was in turmoil, he went to the city wall with Princess Zhaohua. There was a strange phenomenon in the sky, thunder and lightning were rolling, and it seemed that they were about to strike down. It was Princess Zhaohua holding a sharp sword, pointing angrily at the sky.

She yelled: Get out of here!

The thunder and lightning cloud seemed to understand what had happened and fled in panic.

Later, he heard that Murong Yin, the daughter of King Cheng, was struck to death by thunder!

Thinking of this, Qin Mo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Princess Zhaohua is no ordinary person, even God gives her some face, but he actually dared to question her ability!

He really has lost his mind and doesn't know his place!

Forget it, forget it, let’s wait until tomorrow and see what Princess Zhaohua will choose.

If she is confident, he will serve her with all his strength.

If she is completely clueless, I must be prepared to help smooth things over!
