When Qiao Jinniang went back to her house, her mind was still filled with the images of those children, just as the female gentleman said, these children in the prosperous years were called poor.

If it was a time of war and chaos, everyone would be in danger, and it would be bad luck.

And these children had a good time, but they couldn't have a good pregnancy, and it was a mistake to even wear brand new clothes.

"What are you thinking?" Lu Chen walked up to Qiao Jinniang and asked, "I haven't seen you for a long time since I came here? It is rumored that I gave you the ten thousand taels of silver you bought for the gold crown. Today Tong Yushi impeached you, You don't have to worry about it, I'll just donate some silver taels to the Yuying Hall in your name."

Qiao Jinniang sighed and said, "I have been to the Yuyingtang, and I also want to donate some silver taels to the Yuyingtang. They may say that I am extravagant, but I just went to see what happened to them today, and I feel uncomfortable."

Lu Chen said: "There are always some miserable people in this world, even in a prosperous age, it is unavoidable. Now that the imperial court allocates funds to the Yuyingtang, it is great that they can eat enough and wear warmth."

Qiao Jinniang whispered: "I think of Ruyi, do you still remember her?"

Lu Chen said: "How can I remember other women?"

Qiao Jinniang said: "Ruyi is a good friend I grew up with, we played house together when I was young, until my parents sent me to school when I was four years old.

And she also wanted to go, but because she couldn't afford a pen and paper, she could only pester me to teach her how to write on the land in the garden. Just play around with her.

Afterwards, we gradually drifted away from her. Later, because of her illiteracy, she was tricked by a man into signing a contract of prostitution, so she had to work as a maid in a member's home.

If she knew how to read at the beginning, she wouldn't be just a maid who burns fire. Perhaps literacy can't do anything, but it can also save her from unreasonable disasters. "

"I remembered this matter. Didn't the magistrate force him into slavery and severely punish that man?" Lu Chen asked.

Qiao Jinniang said: "Yes, but she was a servant after all, so it's a bit difficult to talk about getting married. I thought it would be great if I could set up a school for the children in the nursery.

Girls from ordinary families can also come to study, but this school must be difficult to run, maybe it can't be run without fifty thousand taels of silver, and even if it is established, it will cost more than ten thousand taels of silver every year.

I can afford the money, but I wonder if it's worth it... Wouldn't it be bad if I let them read the book and understand the reason, but then go to work as slaves? "

Lu Chen said: "If you are a slave and a maid who can read and write, it will be easier to become a big maid.

Moreover, running a college can not only teach reading and understanding, but also teach some piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, female celebrities, etc... It's just that if it goes on, it will be more labor-intensive, and this is not something that can be solved by paying money.

There are also teachers who have to take care of the food and drink of so many children. If there is a little notoriety among them, the reputation of the entire college will be ruined. "

Qiao Jinniang said: "You're right. By the way, I've heard people say that after the maids in the palace come out, they will be hired by noble and wealthy families to teach their daughters how to behave as female reds. Is it true?"

Lu Chen said: "But there is such a thing."

Qiao Jinniang smiled and said: "Isn't this a ready-made master? Those noble and wealthy families hire female officials, and they'll be done after a while of teaching. If I run a college, those female officials and nuns can retire in the college.

Since they are female officials, they must be majestic. In terms of silver taels, I can always get the silver taels if they bid. "

Seeing Qiao Jinniang's excitement, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Where did you get so much money?"

"Now the daily income of Baiweilou and Zhiwei Pavilion is about a thousand taels of silver, and the income of Jewelry Pavilion is tens of thousands of taels of silver. I can't afford that much silver taels by myself. This is also the calamity mentioned in the scriptures The rich help the poor!"

Lu Chen was startled, "Then how long has your jewelry pavilion been open, tens of thousands of taels of silver a day?"

Qiao Jinniang nodded, "Yes, if you don't believe me, you can look at the account book..."

Lu Chen flipped through the pages, clenched his hands, and said angrily, "A small daughter of a doctor in the household department can spend five thousand taels of silver to buy jewelry. If there is no corruption at all, how can it be possible?"

Qiao Jinniang said: "You are not allowed to look at the account book, and don't ransack all my customers' families."

Lu Chen took the account book from Qiao Jinniang, held her in his arms and said, "Think about it carefully, if I arrest these corrupt officials, you will still earn money, and the jewelry will be turned over to the treasury. Aren't the jewelry all yours?"

Qiao Jinniang snorted softly and said, "Those jewelry have to be chosen by the maids in the palace first."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will go to Emperor Father's side and cut off all the jewelry."

Qiao Jinniang said in a low voice: "Why do I think our approach is not very good? It's a bit like a white wolf with empty gloves?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly, "Among your books, most of the customers are descendants of aristocratic families, and the family has its own background. I only catch a few who are severely corrupt, and it will definitely not damage the reputation of your Jewelry Pavilion."

Qiao Jinniang said, "That's good."

After she decided on the matter of the academy, she went to the suburbs of Chang'an to find a villa, which was clean and suitable for the academy.

After Qiao Jinniang bought the villa, she went to find the female gentleman in the Yoying Hall and told her about the academy.

The female gentleman's eyes turned red immediately, "County Master, this... This kind of school costs a lot, it doesn't happen overnight, even if you spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, there may not be any return."

Qiao Jinniang said: "I don't ask for anything in return, it's just that I have enough energy to spare, and I don't lack money, I still want to invite you to be the dean of the college, and I will invite many masters to teach them to read and understand , learn some skills such as needlework and cooking.

There are fish ponds, fruit forests and several acres of fields in the villa, and the children can also cultivate them by themselves. "

"If you really ask for something in return, if you hand over some women who know pastry cooking skills, you can let them work in the Baiwei Building of My Zhiwei Pavilion."

The female gentleman knelt down to Qiao Jinniang and said, "How can these children repay the county magistrate's great kindness!"

Qiao Jinniang asked the female gentleman to stand up and said, "There are women on the left and right. Although this is a prosperous age, women are still in a difficult situation. If you can help, you must help."

The female gentleman called all the children in the nursery hall and kowtowed to Qiao Jinniang, "The county lord is so kind, please accept our worship."

Qiao Jinniang said: "Get up quickly, if you really want to remember your kindness, then you should study hard so that you can have a place to settle down."

The winter hunting is just around the corner, and the simple name Jewelery Pavilion opposite Baiweilou is really about to be stepped down.

Lord Fulu pulled Qiao Jinniang into the room and said, "When you bought the crown, why didn't you tell the princess that there is a jewelry pavilion here? Do you know that if you didn't wear the jewelry in the jewelry pavilion during the winter hunting, there must be one?" What a shame!"

Qiao Jinniang smiled lightly and said, "The princess has jewelry made by the Shang Palace in the palace, isn't it more noble than the jewelry in the Jewelry Pavilion?"

"The jewelry in the Shang Palace Bureau is exquisite, but it is not as novel and flexible as in the Jewelry Pavilion!" Fu Lu said, "You don't know that everyone is looking for who is behind the Jewelry Pavilion, and they want to make a good job." hello!"

As soon as Princess Fulu finished speaking, she heard a sarcastic voice:

"The county lord still has the leisure to come here to visit the jewelry pavilion, but he doesn't see that your relatives in the past are about to freeze to death by the side of the road! A villain shouldn't be so rampant!"

An unfamiliar woman walked up to Qiao Jinniang and said.

Tong Xuan, who was next to the raw woman, slapped the woman on the face, "You can also call the Lord Jia'an a villain!"
