Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

Guoguo: Brother Xiaodong is the Emperor's legitimate son, there's no doubt about that! Ye Heng also stepped forward: "This prince has known this for a long time. For years, I've been catching criminals and hunting them down, and even my royal brother couldn't protect them, so how could I dare let Xiaodong live in the palace?" "Now he dares!" a minister said. Ye Heng glanced at him coldly, and the minister didn't dare to speak again, trembling with fear. Ye Heng continued, "Now that Xiaodong has grown up, he won't be taken away again! Moreover, he has been taught by the Crown Prince's tutor for many years and has achieved academic success, so he came back to recognize his ancestors." Duke Lu stepped forward and said: "Every word the Regent said is true. Only with the protection of our Duke Lu Mansion did we escape this disaster, and only when Xiaodong grew up did we return." Duke Huo also stepped forward and said, "Indeed, it is true. I, the Duke Huo's Mansion, guarantee this. Xiaodong is the Emperor's legitimate son!" Several generals also stepped forward, saying, "Xiaodong is the Emperor's legitimate son." The court was abuzz with discussion. A voice outside shouted, "The Empress has arrived!" The Emperor spoke, "The Empress is invited to court!" Guoguo went out to support Lu Xi, whispering, "Mother, feel free to speak. I've got your back!" Lu Xi smiled, "Okay!" The two of them entered the court. The Emperor stepped down from the dragon throne and helped the Empress onto it, sitting side by side. The Empress spoke, "I know Xiaodong is my son! Anyone who doubts my son will be irreconcilable!" The Empress said no more. Guoguo sensed what some treacherous ministers were about to say, but Xiao Shunzi attacked, but was shot and unable to speak. Soon after, they were all dismissed. A major purge of the court! From then on, Xiaodong was removed from the Emperor's family tree and given the name Ye Guibao Ye Anhuang!

Guibao attends court with the Emperor every day to learn the ways of governing the country! Guoguo gives Xiaodong a pistol to carry with him for protection. Anling follows him in secret, always protecting Guibao!

Ye Heng and Guo Guo smiled at each other. They walked hand in hand, one large and one small, side by side, all the way back to the palace. A large greenhouse, three walls of glass, was also being built there. Ye Heng took Guo Guo to his study and handed her all the banknotes in the drawer. He said, "These are the dividends from the past three years. Take a look." Guo Guo took them, counted them, and said, "Is that a lot?" Ye Heng: "Yes, that's still 10%." Ninety million taels of silver. I gave all of mine to the Emperor. In recent years, the Emperor has become wealthy, the people of the country have enough to eat, and the Emperor's mood has improved. The Empress is also in good health, and this is considered a harmonious family. Guo Guo put the money away and said, "Guiboro should be worth that much, right?!" Ye Heng: "Yes, I gave it all to him. It's the same as yours. Huo Hua also got 10%. Later, Huo Hua said he didn't need so much, so he only asked for half a percent and gave half to me. So I still got half a percent profit, so half a percent is not a small amount." Guo Guo: "Uncle Huo is smart." Ye Heng nodded. Guoguo: I should go check out the glass factory. I can't just ask for money. Yeheng: Without you, there wouldn't be a glass factory. You've made the greatest contribution. My brother has become wealthy these past few years, and his treasury is overflowing. I heard he gave quite a bit to the Empress. The Empress, in turn, gave it all to Xiaodong. Xiaodong is a wealthy man too. They talked for a while, and then in the afternoon, they rode to the glass factory on the outskirts of the city. They met Huo Hua, who personally greeted Yeheng and Guoguo, saying, "Hello, Your Highness! Hello, niece Guoguo!" Yeheng: Yes. Guoguo: Hello, Uncle Huo. Huo Hua: Please come in. Huo Hua poured tea and sat down. He took a sip and put the cup down. "Is Your Highness able to help?" Yeheng: Let's take a look around the factory. Guoguo: Uncle Huo, Guoguo would like to see if there's anything we can improve. Huo Hua said, "Let's go now." Yeheng nodded, stood up, and said, "Let's go." Yeheng took Guoguo in his arms, and Huo Hua led the way as they toured the workshop. Ye Duo was in the workshop when he saw the prince approaching. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness is here. I have something to tell you!" Ye Heng looked over. Ye Duo: "Please, Your Highness, go ahead." Guo Guo looked here and there until he was done and sat down in the office. Then he said, "The workshop must be clean and tidy. We must maintain strict discipline. And Uncle Huo, aren't you producing any new products? For example, a glass mirror—that's a hundred times clearer than a bronze mirror." Huo Hua: "That," he said, shaking his head. "No." Guo Guo: "Grind the glass smooth and add a dark coating on the other side. It should be easy to do." Huo Hua's eyes lit up and he said, "You guys sit down. I'll try it." Ye Heng: "Manager Huo, you're busy. We're leaving now. You must manage the workshop. Let me know if anyone isn't doing their job properly." Huo Hua: "Okay, with your words, Your Highness, I know what to do." Huo Hua hurried off to experiment. Ye Heng took Guo Guo away.

He got on his horse and went for a walk up the mountain again. "We're here, Guoguo." Ye Heng carried Guoguo off the horse and walked towards the school gate. Guoguo looked at the gate and said, "It's so big!" There were two small doors on the side. People usually go in and out, and the main gate is opened after school. The guard at the gate saw that it was the prince and quickly opened the gate. He invited the prince in and trotted to find the dean. The dean was Jiang Ting, a university scholar of the Hanlin Academy. Li Kai was a serious and handsome man. The dean hurried out to greet Ye Heng and said from a distance, "The prince is here, please come in quickly." Jiang Ting said. Ye Heng took Guoguo and walked into the house and sat on the sofa. Guoguo looked at him and thought that his great grandfather was still reliable. He knew that Guoguo liked it, so he said, "Brother Ye, who asked you to make this sofa?" Jiang Ting thought it was not good, but then he heard Ye Heng say, "Second uncle asked you to make it. He said you like it!" Jiang Ting, what "you like it?" What is this? Jiang Ting listened to the conversation between the two and could not get a word in. Ye Heng: It was your great-grandfather who asked Li Dong to make a sofa, saying you'd love it when you came, that you'd spend hours sitting on it. So it turned out like this. Guoguo looked around at the sofas, all around them. In front of them was a coffee table. A modern desk. "Great!" Ye Heng smiled at Guoguo's approval. Jiang Ting looked at the prince smiling and felt strange. How strange! To see the prince smile in his lifetime. He said, "Your Highness, have some tea." Ye Heng: "Well, let me introduce you. This academy was funded by this man, Chai Jin. Even this office was designed by him." Ye Heng looked at Guoguo again and said, "This is Jiang Ting, Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy. The dean I found for you is quite good!" Jiang Ting said, "Not bad," feeling a little uncomfortable, feeling slighted. But no one paid any attention. Guoguo sipped her tea and said, "Let's go look somewhere else." Ye Heng: "Okay." He grabbed Guoguo and walked out. Guoguo: "Master, there's no need to follow us. We'll go on our own." Ye Heng: Don't go, let's see for ourselves. Jiang Ting was no longer calm. This child didn't allow him to follow the prince, so who was this child?

Ye Heng didn't care what he thought and took Guo Guo to walk around the yard. Ye Heng introduced, "This college spans two hills and can accommodate tens of thousands of students. The dormitories are large and the classrooms are also large. A class can seat eighty to ninety people. The toilets are designed according to the flushing design at home and are clean and odorless. The other hill is the accommodation and this side is the classroom. A large gymnastics field has been built in the middle valley, surrounded by flowers and vegetables. Students have labor classes every week to let them participate in the labor themselves. Now only a small number of students have been enrolled and two classes have been opened, both of which are cultural courses." Guo Guo walked, looked and listened, and it was pretty much what he expected. "Build another greenhouse. Students can read books and drink tea in it in winter." Ye Heng: "Okay, we'll build it after we choose a location." Guoguo still felt it was small after looking at it, and said, "It should be very big if these two mountains are turned into colleges, but why do I feel it is still not big?" Ye Heng, "It is not small if it can accommodate tens of thousands of students." Guoguo: "I'm talking about the range of activities. Life can only survive in movement, life lies in movement!" Ye Heng took a look and found that the range of activities was indeed not large, "Or, you can take them out for activities, isn't this a mountain connected to a mountain?" Guoguo, let's do this first! Great grandfather worked hard. He has worked hard in the past few years. Guoguo did not do much work, it was Great grandfather who supervised and stayed on the mountain every day. The two walked,

"Where's Brother Ye's lab?" Ye Heng said, "In the southwest corner of the school." "Let's go check it out!" Guo Guo's face darkened. Who had asked her to come here? Ye Heng: Here? I don't know. Guo Guo: Forget it, let's talk about it after winter break. Ye Heng also noticed that he was being a bit perfunctory. It's too small.

The two returned to the office and left without saying a word. Jiang Ting looked on, confused as to what was going on. His mind was full of questions. Li Kai finished class and, seeing that the prince had already left, said, "Old Jiang, was the prince here?" Jiang Ting: Oh, I can tell the prince is unhappy! Li Kai: The academy is so great, first-rate! Look at this classroom, how bright! What could he possibly want? Jiang Ting: I don't know! Jiang Ting sat comfortably on the sofa. Ye Heng, riding his horse, said, "Guoguo, let's talk about it when we get back. Take your time." Guoguo: I know, Brother Ye. Ye Heng: The national exams are coming soon, in about two weeks. People from your hometown are here this time! Guoguo: Everyone's here, big and small. Ye Heng: This time, we'll only select two top scholars, both civil and military. The rest will be enrolled in our academy. Guoguo: I've already decided on the name: The First Academy Under Heaven, with the word 'Da Yan' in front. Ye Heng: Okay. You decide the enrollment, Guoguo. Even the old master isn't as forward-thinking as you. Your thinking is fixed, and you won't change much. Guoguo: Okay, let me think about it. The purpose of running a school shouldn't limit people's thinking. We should be pioneering and enterprising! We can't let our thinking become rigid. We need to be able to let our imaginations run wild. That's how we can produce so many talented people.
