Happy Little Scholar

"Hey, you have to move yourself... Bah, do you remember the story I told you last time?"

Li Yi felt that he was facing a blockhead who could not understand anything, and frowned at her and asked.

Li Mingzhu looked at him in confusion: "What story?"

Li Yi reminded: "Wu..."

Li Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat, and subconsciously reached out to cover his mouth, looked around, and said: "Don't say such treasonous words again in the future!"

Seeing that the emperor didn't hear it, even if he heard the word "Wu", he couldn't associate it with anything. This was a secret between the two of them, so she was relieved a little.

That thing must not be known to outsiders, let alone the emperor.

"What are you thinking about all day?" Li Yi opened her hand, looked at her unhappily, and said, "Opening the imperial examination, giving priority to the poor, and replacing the clans with gentlemen in the future, this is to relieve the worries of His Majesty, not to let you imitate that woman, you won't forget what I told you, right?"

Li Mingzhu shook her head, looked at him, and nodded as if she understood.

The father has always given priority to the children of poor families, replacing the power of clans, and allowing young poor scholars to enter the court. In the face of clan politics, the poor have always been suppressed. After entering the court, they will be loyal to the royal family, which can effectively change the current court situation.

The father did some things for this, including establishing a math academy and recruiting a large number of poor children, but she knew that there were more things to do to further expand the advantages of poor scholars, and eventually it could become the situation described by Li Yi, where there are gentlemen in the court and the sea is peaceful and the river is clear.

Because all these things were related to the woman surnamed Wu, and this was something she dared not think about on weekdays. At this moment, after being reminded by Li Yi, she understood that means were just means after all. It could work in that fictional story, and it could also have the same effect in reality.

It was really hard to guess what a woman was thinking. Even though Li Yi had almost never treated the princess as a woman, he still couldn't guess her thoughts.

Fortunately, she finally understood what he meant. Li Yi took the candied haws handed over by the arrogant lolita, and while eating, he watched the princess walk over and whisper to Emperor Jing.

After eating two, he felt something was wrong. Sour and sweet were the tastes that candied haws should have. The two he ate had no sweetness, only sourness.

He looked down and found that the syrup on it had been licked clean by someone. He turned around and saw the arrogant lolita covering her mouth and laughing at him.

This little girl is becoming more and more disrespectful.

After listening to Li Mingzhu's story, Emperor Jing's eyebrows had slightly raised, and then he shook his head and said: "Opening a large number of official schools can allow more poor students to have books to read, but the cost is too high, so high that the court can't afford it."

After weighing some of these methods in his mind, he has already made a decision, but when it comes to finance, he still has to hesitate.

Although the national treasury has a lot of income in the past few days, it is not yet to the extent that it can be squandered.

War, natural disasters..., there are many places where money is needed, and it is not easy to maintain a balance.

Li Yi said solemnly: "No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, no matter how hard you are, you can't make children suffer. They are the future of a country and are related to the rise and fall of the country. They are like the sun at Chen time, full of vigor and vitality, with infinite potential. The current Jingguo is ours, but the future of Jingguo still depends on them..."

Emperor Jing never despises the theory of governing the country spoken by Li Yi, and these words really speak to his heart.

A large part of the reason why the court was controlled by the aristocratic clans was their monopoly on education and books. It was too difficult for poor children to enter the court without going through these aristocratic clans and relying on themselves.

If all the poor children in the world could go to school and read books, this problem that has existed for thousands of years would be solved in this dynasty.

And this would be the first step for him to completely end the aristocratic politics.

However, he didn't have much time left, and it was still unknown whether he could completely eliminate certain things in his lifetime.

Emperor Jing shook his head and said, "I have also vigorously promoted the prefectural and county schools, but you are not in the position to know how much it cost."

"Problems that can be solved with silver are not problems." Li Yi looked at Li Mingzhu and asked, "Your Highness, don't you think so?"

The treasury could not take out extra silver, but the eldest princess could. She made so much money and it was useless. She would not save it all for her dowry.

It would be better to build more Mingzhu Hope Primary Schools instead of letting the silver pile up and rot. At least, the poor people in the world will remember her kindness. The plaque on the school should be customized to be large, so that everyone knows that they can go to school because of the kindness of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Moreover, she doesn't have to pay for the money. Li Yi has a plan in mind. Maybe he can save more dowry for her, so that they will not be in vain.

Li Mingzhu looked at him in a daze. She didn't know what Li Yi was thinking, but she was sure that he was thinking about something.

Emperor Jing didn't delve into this issue because the arrogant loli was already dragging him to the brothel to watch a play.

Li Mingzhu folded her arms and looked at him, "What do you want to do?"

"I will eat your salary and share your worries." Li Yi did not go in, but leaned on the wall of the hook railing and said, "Your Majesty has been supporting poor families. This is to solve the problem from the root."

Li Mingzhu thought for a moment and blinked, "Do you have a salary?"

Li Yi thought carefully for a moment and found that he really didn't have a salary.

He didn't have much money to begin with, and he was detained for getting into trouble. Speaking of which, the old emperor never paid him a salary at all.

"Forget it."

Li Yi waved his hand and prepared to go in and watch the show.

If you don’t even have a salary, how can you worry about it?

Whoever wants to share it will share it!

After all, before he stepped in, the eldest princess grabbed his arm.

"My father's biggest headache is the powerful families who control the government. If we can help my father share this worry, and I propose that my father leave the palace to recuperate, my father will probably agree." Li Mingzhu looked at him. , said in a soft voice: "Tell me, what should we do?"

Li Yi looked at her and corrected: "It's you who share the burden, not me."

Li Mingzhu shook her head, "Same."

She is her, and she is herself. What does it mean to be the same? Talking properly, suddenly becoming so ambiguous, made Li Yi, who was already thin-skinned, blush a little.

Li Yi looked at her: "Didn't you make it clear just now what should be done?"

Li Mingzhu's eyelids drooped slightly, "But the treasury doesn't have that much money..."

"Who said money from the treasury should be used? They had a good idea..." Li Yi curled his lips.

Opportunities are rare, and the wealth cannot go to outsiders.

"I don't have that much money either." Li Mingzhu shook her head, and then looked at Li Yi as if she had thought of something.

Li Yi waved his hand quickly: "Don't look at me, my family's money didn't come from the strong wind. It's not easy to make money..."

He patted her shoulder habitually, squinted his eyes, and said: "Don't worry, there will be money, everything that should be there, will be there..."

Seeing a certain light in his eyes, Li Mingzhu suddenly felt relieved and became extremely at ease.
