I was fucked by Zheng Ge as soon as I crossed over

Fusu seemed to have noticed something and looked up at Su Jinyue. His face was gentle and he smiled brightly. "Third sister, why don't we open a charity school in the backyard of the ancestral temple? It will gather cultural energy and maintain peace."

The sunlight shines on the carved window frames, filling the room with warmth.

Fusu looked at his younger sister with eyes full of pity. It is said that students are upright. In this way, can he protect his third sister a little more?

Ying Zheng raised his head, looked at Fusu, then at Su Jinyue. In an instant, he understood Fusu's intention and made the final decision. "Let's do it this way. The charity school will be set up in the backyard of the ancestral temple, and all expenses will be covered by the local government."

Su Jinyue saved most of her wealth and declined with a smile, "Oh, this isn't good. It's done in my name anyway. I'd better donate my share of Bai Yujing's profits."

There is no such thing as too much.

Not even one more gold cake is allowed~

Hehe...

"You, hahaha~"

Ying Zheng pointed at Su Jinyue and laughed out loud, then turned to talk to his children about preparations for the New Year.

As the sky grew darker, the afterglow outside the window dyed the walls of the Xianyang Palace golden red.

The father and his two sons ate and chatted, and hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.

Outside the Xianyang Palace, Xiao He returned home and buried his head in his desk without stopping for a moment, writing five or six letters in one breath.

His hands kept writing, but he didn't feel tired at all. He looked relaxed and happy.

As autumn deepened, fallen leaves swirled from the treetops and drifted to the ground. A team of messengers walked quickly through the fallen leaves and knocked on the gate of the Xiao Mansion.

Xiao He, who had just finished writing a letter and rubbed his sore wrist, was stunned by the good news.

The messenger walked into the Xiao Mansion and bowed to Xiao He, saying, "Sir Xiao, great joy! His Majesty has an order."

The high-pitched and cheerful voice broke the tranquility of the Xiao Mansion. After hearing the news, everyone in the front and back yards were asking about the emperor's will.

Xiao He straightened his clothes and knelt down to receive the order.

"The Emperor issues this decree: Xiao He is currently serving in the court, and he has dedicated himself diligently and achieved remarkable results. I hereby grant him one hundred gold pieces and one hundred pieces of brocade, and promote him to the position of Chief Secretary for Grain Administration, assisting the Secretary of Internal Affairs in the management of grain reserves throughout the country. I hope he will continue his efforts and make further contributions to the Great Qin State. This announcement shall be made throughout the country, so that all may know."

When Xiao He heard the decree, he felt dizzy.

Although he had anticipated that the Imperial Master would speak well of him in front of His Majesty, he never expected to receive such a sudden promotion.

You know, there is only a few words difference between the Nei Shi Sheren and Zhi Su Changshi, and the job content is also to assist Zhi Su Nei Shi, but the identities are very different.

This is just like the chief secretary beside the three ministers, who has a great possibility of taking over the post of the internal historian of grain.

The Internal History Master is already old, I just need to fulfill my duties, work diligently for the public, and wait a few more years...

Thinking of this, Xiao He became even more excited. He quickly came to his senses and personally gave the messenger a brocade bag.

The messenger took the brocade bag with a smile, bowed to Xiao He and congratulated him loudly.

After sending off the messenger, the Xiao family soon became excited. In just one year, they were promoted from minor officials in Pei County to their current status. It was like a miracle. How could they not be happy!

"Go and book a table at Baiyujing Restaurant. Let's celebrate tonight."

"Also, prepare some good gifts. I will go to the Imperial Master's Mansion in a few days to express my gratitude."

After a busy period, Xiao He remembered the letters he had just written and hurried back. He added the good news after each letter to share the joy with his relatives and friends.

It didn't take long before the entire powerful circle in Xianyang knew about this.

Many colleagues sent gifts, Xiao He recorded them one by one, and then hurried to the residence of the Minister of Grain to listen to his teachings.

Zhisu Nei Shi had already known about this, and felt even closer to Xiao He when he saw him. He was old and unable to do many things, but he had seen Xiao He's abilities over the past year, and now all this was a natural outcome.

The two of them had a very pleasant conversation together, but the guests who had attended the wedding banquet at Lu's residence and saw Xiao He's self-recommendation were very excited.

In just one day, he was promoted three levels!

This is all because of a word from the Imperial Master!

I regret it so much. I should have been shameless enough to offer a glass of wine to the Imperial Master!

The Lu brothers and sisters, however, knew the inside story of this matter very well.

Still in the study, Lu Gong clapped his hands and looked at his children in the room.

"The matter of the school must have been finalized. Only then could Xiao He be valued by His Majesty. Under the current circumstances, we must follow the steps of the Imperial Master. Once the matter of the school is announced, our Lu family will contribute money and manpower and will definitely be at the forefront!"

"Yes, Father, I'll arrange it right away."

Lu Ze hurriedly responded and was about to stand up, but was stopped by Lu Zhi again.

She shook her head slightly, her brows full of contemplation. "Father, brother, I think money is secondary. As Xiao He said yesterday, the establishment of a school depends on the cooperation of all parties. What we lack most is probably teachers. We can try to find some knowledgeable people to prepare for emergencies."

Everyone in the room nodded silently, the atmosphere was solemn and full of anticipation.

Lu Shizhi stared at his clever second sister, and an idea flashed in his mind. In an instant, he clapped his hands and blurted out in an urgent voice: "Second sister, I have an idea!"

This sudden sound instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room. Lü Gong and the others all focused their gazes on Lü Shizhi.

Lu Shizhi held his head high and his chest puffed out, his eyes full of determination to win.

"The academy is newly established, and the biggest need is teachers. Good teachers are hard to find, and there are many things involved. If we can bring girls like my second sister into the academy, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then overjoyed.

Lu Gong even twirled his beard and nodded, praising repeatedly.

"Indeed! Shi Zhi is a truly talented person! Since the Imperial Master has made such an exception to appoint Chi Er, he must be eager to see more women enter the government and serve the Qin Empire. If Chi Er were to take this opportunity to offer such a suggestion, it would surely be readily adopted!"

Lu Zhi was also deeply touched and nodded in agreement repeatedly.

At that moment, several people gathered together and began to discuss how to proceed with this matter.

They first made a list of talented girls from their relatives and friends' families, and considered the candidates they would recommend;

Then he turned his attention to Xianyang City, looking for a powerful family with a beautiful daughter who could be of great use, so that he could join his side and work together to promote this matter.

Finally, he carefully considered the words and strategies that Lu Zhi would use in her advice, striving to make it flawless and foolproof.

Lu Gong's expression was solemn, and he warned earnestly, "Chi'er, this matter should be handled slowly rather than hastily. First, find a chance to inform the Imperial Master, and then, when the opportunity arises, proceed slowly."

Lü Zhi nodded slightly and replied, "Don't worry, father. I understand."

Lu Ze was a little worried. "Father, if this is accomplished, there will definitely be a lot of resistance. We must be prepared."

"Only such an unprecedented act can truly embody the reputation of our Lu family! Just do it. If all else fails, there's always a way out."

The night was deep, but the few of them were still not tired at all.

The candlelight flickered in the house, and a reform concerning the women's schools and female officials of the Qin Dynasty was slowly unfolding under their careful planning.
