She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 105 Confession
Cheng Fei heard that Pei Peng was buying people on a large scale, and she no longer felt uncomfortable with this kind of thing as she did at first. She knew in her heart that it was not a bad thing for these children to be bought by Pei Peng, and they might live better than at their parents' house. better.

As for freedom and dignity, Cheng Fei also had to admit that it was indeed too extravagant for these ignorant children who were sold by their parents.

Cheng Fei waited until the sun was no longer so strong and strolled to a flat area in the outer courtyard, where the steward was buying children. Before he entered the courtyard, there was an indescribable and mixed odor that spread out. Sweaty, fermented rancidity.

Cheng Fei was not the only one who felt this way, because she clearly heard the scolding voice of the steward inside:
"What's the matter with you? You've done business with our house several times, why did you bring them here without washing them? They stink."

Another voice came obediently:

"Yes, it's the villain's fault. I wanted to clean them up, teach them some rules, and then bring them to my house. It's just that there have been too many people recently. Our dental shop is a little busy and we plan to sell them at a low price. Dropped. I thought there were some good seedlings in there, so I quickly brought them over to show you. After you finish selecting, these children will be resold to other places."

Cheng Fei stood at the door for a while. From a short distance, he could clearly see the rows of thin bodies standing there.Some were wearing linen clothes that were so dirty that the original color could not be seen clearly, and some were so tattered that they could hang on their bodies.

The younger ones don't have any tops or pants at all, and these children don't have a look of embarrassment on their faces. They bare their bodies numbly and don't seem to care where they will be sold or what kind of life they will face. .

Cheng Fei suddenly wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Pei Peng.

Pei Peng is writing a reply.What's the reply?It was the second day after she came back that the letter mysteriously appeared at the door of the princess's house and asked Pei Peng to open it in person.

Pei Peng suppressed this letter for a few days, and recently chose a free and good mood time to see what kind of unknown talent came to him to say something shocking but that made him afraid to show his true colors.

Seeing this, Pei Peng was quite unexpected, and sat up straight unconsciously, paying attention.

It was at this time that Cheng Fei asked someone to come in and report.

Pei Peng looked down at the letter she wrote, and then guessed what Cheng Fei might tell her, probably the things that Taoist priests are doing recently.

Cheng Fei's intention is more important, Pei Peng thought to himself, drying the letter and putting it in a drawer, and then sent someone to bring Cheng Fei in.

Cheng Fei walked in with heavy steps, not as brisk as before, and there was still hesitation and retreat on her face.This is in line with Pei Peng's guess.

Those things that the Taoist priests are studying will of course be a big killer once they are completed, but with Cheng Fei's usual kindness and even untimely naivety, it is normal for her to feel hesitant about giving such things to Pei Peng. .

However, Pei Peng's guess was wrong.

Cheng Fei started like this:

"Cousin, let me tell you a story, one, a story about reading."

Then Cheng Fei began to tell a story that shocked Pei Peng even more than the strange things she showed in the past. It was a world that was even more beautiful than Pei Peng's countless guesses, so beautiful that it was unreal.

Even though Cheng Fei was just talking about an ordinary girl's experience of studying, it was very plain and trivial.

From tuition subsidies for studying, canteen subsidies, to studying in different disciplines, to being able to choose different majors to initially plan for future employment.

Cheng Fei did not tell the next story, but Pei Peng had already inferred from the professional names that were so dazzling that she could only guess some rough meanings based on the names, and inferred the different jobs these people could do after reading the book, and saw It seems that they don't seem to have any concept of superiority.

What Pei Peng noticed more was that when studying in Cheng Fei's story, men and women all received the same education.

When Cheng Fei finished telling this long enough story, the sky outside the house had completely darkened, because Pei Peng and Cheng Fei were talking, and the guarding maids outside did not dare to come in to light the lamps, so the house was so dark.

Pei Peng blinked her eyes, feeling a little sour, and even shed physiological tears. She suddenly thought that after listening to such a beautiful story, she still fell back to reality.

"So, Ah Fei, why are you telling me this? Have you thought about it? There is something revealed in your words that you don't have to tell me."

Cheng Fei shook Pei Peng's hand and answered without hesitation:
"Yeah, my cousin is very smart, my cousin is one of the smartest people I've ever met, so you already guessed it, didn't you?

And you guessed it, but never asked or forced me to provide you with anything more.

For example, wine, everyone knows that it can be profitable.For example, Taoist priests, you immediately guessed how powerful what they are doing is.For example, Yang Luo and Chen Song, you have also seen their potential.

And in my memory, there are other things that can benefit, weapons that can turn the tide of battle, and talents who can shock the world with one word...

You know I have these messages, but you didn't ask me more.It is precisely because you do not force, so I believe you, and I am willing to tell you this.

Because I have self-knowledge, in this place, relying on myself, most of the things I know are just nonsense, or become a tool for some people to make profits, so it is difficult for me to start well and finish well.

Instead of this, I might as well tell you, at least, you can use these to do something beneficial to the people. "

Pei Peng looked at Cheng Fei in amazement, at this familiar yet strange cousin, this innocent yet profound soul. She had never understood her as well as she does now, and she had never understood her as well as she does now.

Pei Peng shook her hand back and said longingly:
"I would like to believe that the place you lived in is a fairyland. Only such a place can raise a girl like you."

After hearing the approval in Cheng Fei's tone, Cheng Fei felt a lot more relaxed.

In fact, during this period of time, when she watched the short-line stories in history happen one after another, the impact they brought was not just a few indifferent numbers, but real people.

She also recalled the refugee army through Chen Song.Why are there refugee armies?It's nothing more than too many people can't survive and seek a way out.

No matter what the result is, in Cheng Fei's view, the refugee army has continued the existence of those refugees for a while.

And Chen Song's fate has changed. There is a high probability that he will not join them again. Without Chen Song, will there be people who should be able to survive?

Cheng Fei would not take all these lives on her shoulders, but this incident undoubtedly gave her more urges to confess to Pei Peng.

Then Pei Peng discovered what the Taoist priests were doing. She chose to control the Taoist priests and changed the arrangements for Chen Song, but she still did not do anything to herself.

This gave Cheng Fei some hope, that is, even if she told Pei Peng more things, the ending between them would not go too badly.Because Pei Peng can restrain the use of his own power.

The next trigger was the children she saw today.

Chen Song went to ask Pei Peng for someone, and wanted them to help; it is said that Yang Luo also asked for a few, and sent them to work in Shangyong County; He picked up a few and sent them back to his hometown farm managed by his nephew...

Cheng Fei thought to herself, why couldn't she also find a way for them to survive?Find an opportunity that can change your destiny, and this opportunity will not harm Pei Peng's interests.

Even though there will be a lot of expenses at the moment, in the future, Cheng Fei thinks of the increasingly difficult situation that Pei Peng will face in the future, those who are listed as the next choice by scholars because of her gender and philosophy Gossip... Then why not let Pei Peng cultivate a group of people who truly recognize her, rely on her, and be loyal to her?

Perhaps one hundred or one thousand of these people will not be able to produce great talents who can sit back and observe the general trend of the world, but they will become the inconspicuous bricks and mudstones in a house. They will become the people who calculate the money and food, and the subordinates. Those who preach in the villages, those who regulate the people according to the law, those who heal the sick, and those who teach people to read.

The common background and the experience of studying in the same school cultivated by Pei Peng will become the mortise and tenon of this house.This sense of identity, for each other and for Pei Peng, will be like a mortise and tenon, connecting each other tightly enough, so tight that it is like a seamless armor wrapped around Pei Peng.

Cheng Fei also has his own thoughts. This is not only a confession, it is also a test.

She wanted to see if Pei Peng was willing to sacrifice immediate interests to do this, and if she could see the prospect behind this act of enlightening people's wisdom that most nobles feared in the current era.

If she is willing, she can see that she can get all the benefits of doing this, and it will definitely be better than she expected.

Cheng Fei asked:
"Cousin, do you want to run a school that can cultivate people like me?"

Pei Peng didn't answer and asked:

"Is this why you came here today? Let me think about it, did you go to see the steward to buy slaves? Are you soft-hearted towards them? Want to help them?
So what are you going to let them learn?You can't just copy the majors of the school you went through, right?Although I didn't understand it very well, I could tell that some of them were not suitable for today.

Also, have you ever wondered if there is enough room to house them after they are taught?And if what they learn isn't enough to make them live differently from other servants, so what about you? "

Cheng Fei was asked.

For this group of people, she can certainly tell where to use them, and even for the second and third batches, she is confident that they can be arranged well.

Can there be more?Wasn't she taking the risk to talk to Pei Peng to establish a long-term education system?
Then she should really consider the path after school.

If it were modern times, Cheng Fei could tell you a lot of employment directions here...

Pei Peng looked at Cheng Fei's troubled expression with interest, and suddenly felt that the cousin who said such shocking words was no longer as far away as he had been a moment ago.

"Okay, it's getting late. Stay for dinner. After dinner, you go back and think about it. Then, just like you did before, write me a plan, okay?"

　Thanks to Shanhe Manhuai, Lylntr, and book friend 20220831 for their monthly tickets.

　　As of writing today, I actually feel that the relationship between Pei Peng and Cheng Fei is very easy to break up. After all, there is a secret between them that is difficult to confess, and it is also difficult to maintain eternal trust between people, especially Under the premise that there is a gap in identity.In history, we can find many examples of birds disappearing and bows hiding, but there are too few examples of kings and ministers getting along well with each other.But I think writing novels sometimes leads to this kind of naivety, which is to outline a he future for them in countless endings that lead to be.
