After the crazy criticism of the prince ascending the throne, I can't escape

"Master Wang."

"General!" Wang Ping took two steps forward.

Ying Lili said: "After the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the imperial examination will be gradually improved. And talent is also the assessment direction of one parent's official."

"Lieshan City is located on the border of Jozhao. I know that this place is not as prosperous as other state capitals."

"However, we must also pay attention to the selection of talents."

"If the state still has money, it can set up a school. Regarding the follow-up, when I return to Kyoto, I will discuss this matter with His Majesty and see if we can allocate funds."

Wang Ping thought about it too.

I've been thinking about it for many years.

Unfortunately, it was useless to think about it before.

No matter how knowledgeable a child from a poor family is, it is useless without a backer.

As the parent official of Lieshan City, he was originally a marginalized figure among officials.

Even if he is a senior member of the imperial court, when he goes to Kyoto, the prime minister and concierge will dare to look down on him.

Not really a supporter at all.

"The subordinates will definitely take notice. General, please rest assured."

Ying Lili thought for a while and said, "Women should also read some books. Even if they get married and have children in the future, in terms of educating children, those who have read books are better than those who have not."

She would not say anything about allowing women to serve as officials in the court.

The power of one person cannot compete with the entire era.

Ying Lili is not that selfless, nor is he that great.

She thought she couldn't do it.

However, it is still possible to use the reason of teaching children.

Wang Ping thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with it.

In this way, it should be easier for a knowledgeable woman to teach her children.

"The general is thoughtful and I will handle it properly."

Ying Lili nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wang."

"After all, women in Kyoto who have some wealth will hire a female concubine to teach them how to read and calligraphy."

"Since the common people's families do not have such conditions, it is appropriate for the officials to help."

"The man is the master of the outside world, and the woman is the master of the home. The inner house is the woman's jurisdiction, and the same goes for her children."

Wang Ping said: "The general's words are right."

The group had a snack at a nearby farmhouse at noon and continued to observe the people's sentiments in the afternoon.

It wasn't until dusk approached that he rode back to the state capital.

I have to say that Mr. Wang is a rare good official.

A month later, two schools were built in Lieshan City, located at the north and south ends of the state capital, with the boys' school in the north and the women's school in the south.

The gentleman was also found locally in Lieshan City, and he could still find many scholars.

It’s just that there is no way out in the imperial examination.

It's not easy to find female wives, but it's not like there aren't any.

Ying Lili and her two senior brothers went to check out the two schools respectively.

The building was temporarily renovated and is spacious but lacks views.

These are also things that cannot be helped.

Next to the boys' school is Qingshan Academy, which is very lively.

The girls' school here is Cuiyuan School, and only a few people signed up.

But that's fine too.

Some things need to be done step by step.

Only when they taste the benefits will the people take action.

It's not just a few words that can make them change their minds.

Even if he was forced by the "official authority" of Ying Lili and others at the time, he would still regret it later.

Autumn.

Those old father-in-laws found the state capital.

I am happy to say that the plants brought from the Western Regions have come alive.

Although a third of it was wasted in the early stage to understand its characteristics, at least half of it survived.

Ying Lili and others followed and were very satisfied when they saw the lush and growing fruits and vegetables.

The agricultural officer of the state government followed next to him and recorded some of the old man's cultivation experience so that it could be popularized later.The father-in-laws were so excited that they didn't even bother to hide it, and talked happily about the cultivation problems and experiences.

Ying Lili said: "After the fruits are harvested, we can build a drying room and dry these grapes into raisins.

The old man didn't quite understand.

Why do you need to dry it?
Ying Lili explained that this is to reduce transportation, and the dried raisins can be stored for a long time, at least one to one and a half years.

And sun-dried raisins are sweeter and more expensive.

In this way, it can be transported to major state capitals in Jozhao, allowing local people to increase their income.

Ying Lili said: "I only know a rough idea of ​​what a drying house is like. The details need to be figured out by you experienced father-in-laws."

When my husband heard this, he felt extremely responsible.

He patted his chest and promised that he would not disappoint the general.

He also said that when the raisins are really successful, they will be given to her first to try.

Ying Lili responded with a smile.

There are also crops such as honeydew melons.

As a city girl, Ying Lili had little idea of ​​when to plant and harvest these things.

However, experienced farmers can understand a lot by observing their characteristics.

I have to say that this is the real champion of Xingxingchu.

With the new crops, apart from the local people, the happiest person was undoubtedly Wang Zhifu.

Soon I started chatting with my father-in-law about land leasing.

The ground rent is free for the first three years of the lease and will be collected from the fourth year, and the ground rent is not expensive.

The father-in-laws were very interested.

But they were also cautious and did not respond immediately.

We have to wait until we taste the first batch of grapes before making a decision.

**
As autumn enters, Lieshan City begins to get colder.

The Western Regions never took the initiative to invade Dazhao again.

Ying Lili, on the other hand, still led all the soldiers in the army to practice and held competitions in the army from time to time.

The rest of the time was spent running between Junzhong and Lieshan City.

Until the first blizzard came.

She ran happily in the snow, and Zhao Ying was itching to watch. He rushed over with a whimper and jumped into the thick snow with her.

Upon seeing this, Ying Lili called to the soldiers in the distance.

Said: "Come on, let's have a snowball fight to warm up."

After that, he quickly threw the snowball in his hand at Zhao Ying.

"Hey!" Zhao Ying quickly dodged and bent down to make snowballs.

She didn't hit Ying Lili, but threw it towards the others.

"General, why don't we distinguish between ourselves and the enemy? We are on the same team now."

Ying Lili laughed and said, "No, no, we can't defeat so many people. Let's start the big fight."

Pei Jie heard the noise and came out.

As soon as he appeared, a snowball exploded in his face with a "bang".

The scene fell silent for a moment.

However, Ying Lili smiled unbridled.

"General Pei, come together." She greeted him.

Pei Jie wiped the snowball off his face, shook his shoulders, shook off the cloak, and was caught by the lieutenant beside him.

He strode forward and said: "You little brats, how dare you fight with me..."

Ying Lili dodged with laughter and said to the group of soldiers: "What are you doing stupidly? Get General Pei down first."

"okay!"

The tense atmosphere disappeared instantly, and everyone aimed the snowball at Pei Jie.

He alone, no matter how high his martial arts skills are, cannot defeat so many people.

When everyone restrained themselves slightly, Pei Jie was quickly buried in the snow, leaving only his head knocked outside.

Everyone gathered around Pei Jie, laughing.

"Okay, a snowman that looks like General Pei is enough to intimidate a hundred and eight thousand soldiers."

Ying Lili gave a thumbs up and praised.
