A Thousand Hills

Chapter 178

The fifth prince is completely like a virtuous king. As soon as he came, he erected a stele pavilion to commemorate the fallen navy, and then used money from his private treasury to build a Confucian temple. , repaired the dilapidated buildings for the state school, together with the government offices, because there is a saying that "officials don't repair the government offices" these days, so the general government offices are inevitably old and dilapidated. The fifth prince helped to repair them. It is not luxurious, but at least the windows are clear and clean.In this regard, the high-ranking officials have little influence. After all, they don't have to feel wronged to run errands in dilapidated houses. No matter how they don't repair the government office, the chief officials have a good place to work, and it is the small officials who benefit.Since he has benefited, it is inevitable that he will praise the virtuous king of Fujian and show sympathy for them as policemen.Now it is time to open an official school, the fifth prince said, "Most of the state schools are educated by scholars. Recently, my king is often worried about the education of officials' children, so he intends to open an official school in the vassal's mansion and select officials' children to study."

No one objected to this matter. After ten years of poverty, we are talking about the children of poor families. The path for the children of officials and eunuchs is much wider. Even in a scholarly family like the Xie family, most of the children in the family have to take the imperial examination, but there is no need to be poor. Studying, the educational resources are abundant.Moreover, for the children of officials and eunuchs, the most important course is not the homework of the Four Books and Five Classics, but the study of human relations.

The fifth prince said so, all the officials and eunuchs come to study in the feudal prince's mansion. I have a gentleman here. You don't have to worry about the knowledge of the gentleman, it was recommended by Mr. Beiling to the king.

There is a good gentleman, and he is studying in the feudal prince's mansion, and his classmates are all the children of officials, who wouldn't want to go there!All happy to go!Not to mention middle and low-level officials, even high-ranking officials are happy with this move.

At this time, there is no need to say that all living beings are equal. The emperor said that he loves the people like his son, but have you ever seen the children of the royal family study together with the children of ordinary people?Alright, sentient beings of different grades are mostly destined to be reincarnated in the six realms of reincarnation.

After the establishment of the official school was finalized, the Fifth Prince asked the Governor of Tang, Governor Su, to discuss the matter of subsidizing the families of those who died in the war next year, as well as the placement of disabled soldiers. After discussing it, I talked to Governor Su of the Tang Dynasty. It is okay to talk about the resettlement of disabled soldiers. It is nothing more than the tax reduction and exemption in the future. what.In the new year, the new year is sad, and the fifth prince wants to show kindness and conduct benevolent government, and it is related to the army. Governor Tang gritted his teeth and had to squeeze out tens of thousands of silver.

Governor Su admired the series of actions of the fifth prince after he arrived in Fujian. The fifth prince also said, "I sacrificed to heaven and earth a few years ago, and I have to invite the two of you to go with me." The prince also often participates, that's because he is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth is the mission of the Ministry of Rites.The fifth prince is in charge.Moreover, in the imperial capital, the person offering sacrifices to heaven and earth was his emperor's father, and the princes had to be witnessed by his emperor's father before they could be called to participate together.Now, as a vassal king of one place, the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth in the vassal land is the five princes who take the lead.

Governor Su of the Tang Dynasty naturally agreed, and they should follow. If the fifth prince refused to let them go, it would be an ominous political omen.Of course, it is different to have the fifth prince personally invite someone, and the fifth prince directly orders someone to deliver the message.

The fifth prince not only wants to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, but at the end of the twelfth lunar month, he has to bring his sons to offer sacrifices to their ancestors. His father is still alive and well, mainly to offer sacrifices to his grandfather, the Shizu Emperor who has never been an emperor for a day, and his grandmother. Aunts.The family temple has been built ahead of time for the ancestor worship, and the fifth prince plans to hold it in the family temple of his feudal prince's mansion.

The construction process of the feudal prince's mansion opened the eyes of Fujian officials, because according to the predictions of the Fujian local officials, the feudal prince's mansion can be completed in three years, and there will never be such a thing as a waste of effort.But it has only been two months since Princess Xie took over, and the main buildings of the feudal prince's mansion are almost the same. It is strange that Princess Xie was dissatisfied with the progress of their project, and she is definitely not bragging.

Of course, Princess Xie is capable of this feudal prince's mansion, but her subordinates are also people instead of gods. The feudal prince's mansion was built quickly, mainly because the regulation was much more frugal.It is indeed frugal. For example, the golden silk nanmu used by the vassal prince's mansion is not produced in Fujian.Princess Xie didn't like colored glaze, and the large glazed roof in the main hall was not used as required.On the contrary, there are many mountains and dense forests in Fujian, and local materials are used to mine some middle-to-high-end wood that is old enough to use. Moreover, the entire vassal palace is not painted with gold and color, but with three colors of black, red, and white, plus flying eaves and brackets. , but also very stylish!

Craftsmen and servants also have to go home to celebrate the new year. Now the prince's mansion has sent personal guards. The fifth prince paid homage to his ancestors and took his sons to visit his palace. He was very satisfied. , "It's magnificent, and the flowers and trees are growing well."

"That's good." An experienced gardener can survive by moving trees for nine days. In the cold winter of the imperial capital, transplanting trees will be fine, let alone Fujian?Xie Moru handed over warm tea and asked, "How does your Highness feel on his wrist? It's been a little cold these days."

The fifth prince took a sip of tea and said, "Maybe it's because I'm busy, but I don't feel uncomfortable. It's strange to say that when you are free, you will always be sore or numb at random times. It's busy, but you don't feel it. "

Xie Moru smiled, "It can be seen that Fujian is our blessed land. Originally, I thought that the climate in Fujian is humid, so it may not be as good as the imperial capital. But since we came, I figured that when we arrived in Fujian, His Highness's skills are better than those in the imperial capital." Take it easy."

"Yes." The fifth prince still has something to do, and he said to Xie Moru, "I have agreed with Governor Tang and Governor Su that we don't have to come over to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, and we don't have to drink during the New Year's Eve. I will go to the army to visit Let’s go to the soldiers. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, and I haven’t visited the army yet.”

"Your Highness is thoughtful."

The fifth prince suddenly showed a ghostly smile, and whispered to his wife, "Actually, I negotiated with Jiujiang to use the first day of junior high school to inspect the barracks as a warm-up scene, and the second junior high school will start patrolling the whole territory. At that time, you will be with me." go."

Xie Moru said, "There is nothing important this year, it's better to go on inspection earlier, you should talk to Governor Tang about this matter."

"It should be." The fifth prince said, "I was still thinking, you will go with me on the first day of the new year, and then let Governor Tang bring Mrs. Tang with you. Let her cover you."

"Cover what?"

"You have always had a better vision than me. I want you to go to the barracks to have a look together. But even though this is our fiefdom, there is also a censor. Even if the censor is not talkative, I am afraid of people who talk a lot and talk about women and other people. Yes, we also have a few families in the imperial capital that are difficult to deal with. Those villains can't say anything. Things will be smooth when things are slow. This time, I will call Mrs. Tang, and she dare not not go. Besides, if you go alone, maybe Some people are criticizing, and Mrs. Tang, even if they are criticizing, you have to think about it. When the time comes, Miss Jiang will also be called, and the three of you, there are probably people who are afraid to say something. There are too many times like this. Everyone gets used to it, and it’s done.”

Xie Moru was speechless for a moment, the fifth prince chattered on his own for a while, touched the teacup and sipped the tea ceremony, "So, I want to do this first." Thinking that his daughter-in-law has always been assertive, the fifth prince asked, "What do you think?" How about it?"

Xie Moru said, "Your Highness is so loving, how dare you be."

"You and I, husband and wife, what are you afraid of?"

Xie Moru's eyes flashed, and he was speechless for a long time.The fifth prince said, "Daughter-in-law?"

"Ok?"

"Did you cry just now?"

Xie Moru twitched his lips and smiled.

The fifth prince said seriously, "What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours."

"Your Highness, I will remember."

"Just remember."

She never concealed her concern for power, of course he would notice, know, and understand.However, this promise cannot be taken lightly.If I promise, I will take it seriously.

She assisted him step by step, guided him, advised him, raised children, paved the road... All of these, of course, need to be rewarded.No, tears are the most useless thing in the world.Being grateful is not the reward I need. Has your father ever been grateful for Princess Fusheng?It is said that your father loved my mother deeply... So, I don't need these empty rewards, all I need is one thing.
