Looking at his father who couldn't hide his smile, Liu Anruo knew that it must be a good thing that the lord asked his father to go.

Among the refugees who came here, only my father was called over.

If there is any difference between my father and these people, it may be that he has the title of scholar and is a teacher.

So when the young master of the Yun family asked my father to go there, I had some guesses that he might be asked to teach the children here.

Looking at his approaching father, Liu Anruo walked up to greet him.

"Dad, you're back. Mom has just finished cooking."

"Oh, okay, by the way, Ruoruo, Dad wants to tell you..."

Liu Qinghe was just about to tell his daughter what had just happened, but when he saw the people passing by, he had to keep quiet for the time being.

"Dad will talk to you later."

They were afraid that their newly built house would not be completed until after tomorrow, so they returned to the temporary residence.

At this time, Liu's mother came out from a small kitchen carrying three bowls of porridge mixed with many wild vegetables.

The thing that Yunjiazhai has the most of these days is probably pots.

Because the bandit camp looted many villages, the people in those villages either died or escaped.

So Yun Zhi asked someone to bring back all the remaining usable items.

Now, every family that moves to a new residence can receive a pot.

Unlike them, when they first came here, they had to go down the mountain to change.

Seeing his mother coming out with a bowl, Liu Anruo immediately walked over and took a bowl from her hand.

After the three of them quickly finished their lunch, Liu Qinghe mysteriously took his wife and daughter to a secret place.

His face was filled with excitement, and his tone was also very excited, "Guess why the lord wants me to come over."

"I'm afraid I'll let Dad be the teacher here."

"Yes, we are smart."

As he spoke, he took out from his bosom the piece of plain paper on which was written the amount of his monthly salary.

"This is the monthly salary that the lord promised me."

He unfolded the paper like a treasure and handed it to his wife.

Liu's mother took it and began to read it.

Because Liu Qinghe had taught her some simple characters, she could mostly recognize them.

The more he looked down, the wider Liu's mother's eyes opened, exactly the same expression as Liu Qinghe's at that time.

“You gave so much.”

Hearing his mother's words, Liu Anruo also leaned back to take a look.

Indeed, if converted into silver, this would probably be nearly five taels of silver.

Nowadays, one tael of silver is enough for a family of five to eat and wear for a month.

His face was full of pride. "Yes, I never thought that the lord would be so generous."

"You must keep this carefully. This is written by the Lord himself and can be regarded as an imperial edict."

Upon hearing the word "imperial edict," Mother Liu nodded nervously, "I will definitely keep it well."

Afraid that she would drop it if she held it in her hands, as soon as she finished speaking, Liu's mother took the piece of paper back and put it away, and also went back to wash the bowls.

After Liu's mother left, Liu Qinghe asked Liu Anruo in a private manner, "Ruoruo, guess who the lord asked me to teach?"

Since the father asked this, it should not be so simple to teach the child.

"Isn't that teaching children?"

"Teach, boys teach, girls teach too."

Liu Anruo hid the turbulent waves in his eyes and asked, "Both boys and girls learn the same thing?"

"Yes, the same teaching."

Teaching both boys and girls, is this considered an innovation in education?

"And it's not just the children, adults too have to learn. The lord said that there can't be any illiterate people under her rule."

"My lord... is a man of great ambition."

Liu Qinghe looked at his daughter with a smile, "Yes, maybe my Ruoruo will have the opportunity to become an official in the future."

After staying here for a while, Liu's father actually felt a glimmer of hope. Perhaps her daughter could follow the lord and become an official in the future.

At least, it's possible.

Unlike the imperial examination, women were completely excluded.

Opportunities are all earned by one's own efforts, so Liu Anruo decided not to wait any longer.

This is the time when we are most in need of talents. I will choose a time in these few days to pay a visit to the lord.

……

After lunch, Yun Jingxian walked to the open space with the announcement written by Yun Zhi.

There is a large wooden sign there for the convenience of posting notices.

He brushed the rice paste he brought with him on it, and after doing this, he prepared to post the notice.

When people passing by saw him posting the notice there, they all walked over.

Soon there were more than a dozen people standing there.

Unfortunately, these people don’t recognize the words above.

"Master Yun, what is written here? Could you please read it to us?"

After pasting the last corner, Yun Jingxian turned around and said, "Well, the lord said he wanted to build a school here."

"Repair school!"

"It's good to build a school."

Now that the school is built, can my children go to school?

Even if they are not educated, they know that knowledge is a good thing.

When I was in the village, as long as I could read and write, it would be much easier to find a job in the county town.

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment. I'll read it to you."

Yun Jingxian stopped their discussions and began to read the above content.

There aren't actually many words on it. It just says registration time, daily working hours, wages, etc.

"That's what it says. I think everyone understands, right?"

"Building a school is a good thing, how can we ask for wages?"

"Yes, we don't want any wages."

Yun Jingxian interrupted them, "You must be paid. You have put in the hard work, so you should be paid."

One of the refugees raised his head and asked, "Mr. Yun, is there a limit on the number of people who can do this?"

"There's no limit. The registration time is tomorrow. I'll be here then. You can just come to me to register."

After answering their questions, Yun Jingxian walked home.

And those people who knew the situation began to spread the news after Yun Jingxian left.

Three days later.

The construction of the school began.

Not even a moment.

Lin Huixin knocked on the door and walked in. "Mianmei, Master Liu's daughter Liu Anruo wants to see you. Should we let her in?"

Liu Anruo...

Isn't he the one who looked at her with ambition in his eyes?

"Please call her in, mother."

A quarter of an hour later.

"I, Liu Anruo, greet the lord."

"Get up."

Yun Zhi looked at the 28-year-old girl in front of her and asked, "Why do you want to see me?"

"I would like to ask for an opportunity from you, my lord. A chance to stay by your side."

Liu Anruo stood there, looking at Yun Zhi with burning eyes, her eyes revealing her undisguised ambition.

"Oh? Why should I give you this chance?"

"My lord, you are currently in need of someone to assist you. I am a humble person, but I have some knowledge of literature and strategy."

She looked at Yun Zhi firmly and said, "I am willing to be a knife in the master's hand and help him ascend to a high position."

Yun Zhi stood up and said, "Well... I'll give you this opportunity. I hope you will do as you said."

"I will definitely not disappoint my lord."

Liu Anruo did exactly what he said.

In the future, everyone will know the resourceful and smiling tiger Prime Minister Liu Anruo.

It is the most useful knife in the hands of Empress Yun Zhi, and she is also an unwavering supporter of the Empress.

……

One month later.

"knock knock"

"Enter."

Liu Anruo looked at Yun Zhi and said, "My Lord, the escort team successfully robbed the caravan and returned, but..."

"Just what?"

"In addition to the goods, they also brought back a few people. The identities of those people are somewhat special, so the lord needs to step in and deal with them."

"Special status?"

Yun Zhi stood up and said, "Let's go."
