Chapter 38

"Hey, have you heard that a free school is going to be built in the west of the city, where children who cannot afford to go to school can be sent there to go to school for free." Passerby A asked.

"I heard about it a long time ago. I also know that the name of the school is 'public' college. I heard that it means the establishment of the public." Passer-by B replied proudly.

"Oh, is that so?" Passerby A wondered if he wasn't the most well-informed.

"That's right, I also know what the building next to the public college is for."

"Why?"

Seeing that the people next to him were also attracted by his question, passer-by B immediately told the news he knew happily,
"I heard that it was built by the emperor. It's called a public labor training center. It's also free. It specializes in teaching people various skills, and then they can go out to find a job. I heard that people who perform well can be recommended by the training center. Now many merchants have signed a contract with the people in the training center. The merchants will sponsor the training center, and then the training center will recommend excellent students to the merchants every year. .”

"Wow, is it true?" Passerby C asked.

"Yeah, how do you know so much?" Passer-by Ding asked.

"Tch, you don't know this, right? My aunt's daughter works in the palace and serves the emperor. She heard what the emperor said with her own ears, and then told me. There is one more thing that you must not have thought of. Guess, who proposed the idea of ​​this free school and training center to the emperor?"

"Who?" Everyone asked.

"Let me tell you, it's King Yuan and Princess Yuan."

"what?"

"really?"

"Are you sure?"

"I use my head to assure you that it is absolutely true. Haven't you seen that Yuan Wang and Yuan Wangfei appear there every day these days, and the surrounding workers ask Princess Yuan if they have any questions. What does this mean? They are responsible for this matter." Passer-by B proudly talked about his observations.

"Is that true?"

"That is."

"Oh, Prince Yuan and Concubine Yuan are so kind, they always think of us people." One of them said with emotion.

"Yes, yes, there are very few people who can think so much for the common people now."

"That's right, I really want to thank Yuan Wang and Yuan Wangfei."

"However, the emperor is also a wise king, always thinking of the people." One of them said.

"Well, that's it." Everyone quickly agreed, the emperor is the biggest, we can't forget him.

"My dog ​​has reached the age of going to school. Unfortunately, the family has no money so we have to let him stay at home. Now that there is a free school, I will definitely send him to school."

"My wife always thinks I'm useless. When I go to the training center to study and find a job, she will definitely not say anything."

"Yeah, yeah, I want to..."

Passer-by B was very proud to see that everyone had completely believed his own words, and thought in his heart that when he would have to go to his aunt's daughter to get some news and show off, it felt really good...

A few days later, the words of passer-by B were confirmed. The emperor issued the imperial list, affirming the nature and content of the public college and the public labor training center. Immediately caused an uproar in the capital, although it had been widely spread in the capital before, the final release of the imperial list was always a rumor, but now that the imperial list is released, it is a matter of certainty, and the emperor's move has been approved. The full support of the poor peasants, everyone is grateful to the emperor, and many businessmen are also very curious about the training center. After all, talents guaranteed by the state reduce the risk of employment for them, and they are also welcome. However, this does not mean that no one objects Many ministers in the court put forward their opinions to Li Wenxiang, thinking that this move was meaningless, and elevating the poor peasants was tantamount to lowering their status. , Concubine Yuan's origin is unknown, and her status and background are low. There is no way to handle this matter well. In addition, she suggested to the emperor that someone else should be responsible.

Naturally, Li Wenxiang would not accept these objections. He had been the emperor for several years and had long been accustomed to seeing the power struggles in the court. He could still tell which ones were sincerely for his own good. After the ministers came up with a move to shake the tiger across the mountain, the voices of opposition were much smaller. Even if there were, they did not dare to act presumptuously in front of him. Things, so they don't need others to speak up, and they can't convince the public. At this time, Wang Yan and Yuan Zhixuan have no time to pay attention to other people's ideas. The decoration of the college and the training center is a big project, and they are busy every day. He is physically inconvenient, so most of the work is handed over to Wang Yan and Yan Qing, and he is mainly responsible for recruiting Mr.

Another day later, Wang Yan and Yan Qing dragged their exhausted bodies back to the palace. Yuan Zhixuan had asked someone to prepare meals for them. When he saw them coming back, he hurriedly greeted them.
"I'm back, come and eat quickly, you're exhausted."

"I'm fine, but Ma'am is exhausted." Yan Qing replied, these days watching Wang Yan command up and down, she handles things in an orderly manner, and her hard work often makes a man feel ashamed. Fan flavor, especially attractive, so that he admired.

"Oh, lady, thank you for your hard work." Yuan Zhixuan looked at Wang Yan distressedly, "You see that you have lost a lot of weight these days, you should take a good rest at home tomorrow."

"No, I still need to supervise the construction. This building will take decades to build. There must be no mistakes. Safety comes first. Wen Xiang trusts us so much. We must not make mistakes, otherwise we will lose face by then. Seeing people, even Wen Xiang can't deal with those stubborn ministers in the court." Wang Yan said,

"Although I am a little tired doing such a meaningful thing, I am very happy. It was not uncommon for me to go without sleep for several days when I was undergoing surgery. This kind of hardship is nothing."

"Miss..."

"Okay, stop talking, I will take care of myself, don't worry, eat quickly, I'm starving to death."

"Okay, Yanqing, you eat too."

"En." Although she had already returned to the capital, Wang Yan still asked Yan Qing to have dinner with them. After all, unlike the other servants, Yan Qing was more like a friend to her and Zhixuan.

"Housekeeper, I asked you to cook the soup, serve it."

"Yes, my lord."
