The villain princess is three and a half years old

"I heard that when my master was still alive, he once carried out an action to break the old custom of drowning girls in the capital. Now, the capital and even the entire north of Daxia have greatly reduced the occurrence of such tragedies.

"But this is still the case in the south. I believe that it is extremely important to continue to promote the elimination of evil old folk customs in the south."

Pei Shuyan finished speaking.

The entire court suddenly fell into silence.

Emperor Xuanping looked a little embarrassed.

Just because he has experienced something like this before.

The reason why the old imperial master took the initiative to break the old custom of drowning girls in the capital was because something happened in the palace.

And the older courtiers have also heard of this matter.

"Pei Aiqing said it very well."

Emperor Xuanping quickly calmed down and said, "When the old Imperial Master was here, he made many measures that benefited the country and the people. I wonder if Pei Aiqing has any specific good strategies now that he has written this memorial?

“After all, folk customs are not achieved in a day, and old folk customs are even more difficult to eradicate.

"Especially in the south, which is far away from the capital, whatever they do in the capital may not affect them."

When he said this, the courtiers nodded in agreement.

Pei Shuyan is confident.

Just listen to him say: "What the emperor said is true, but I have a plan. I can't say it will definitely work, but it will definitely be effective."

"What's the plan?"

"When running a school, it is required that girls over three years old must go to school. Every three months, each locality must provide the court with a list of girls to enroll in. The court can also set a number of girls to enroll based on the number of girls who drown every year in each locality.

, forcing officials from various places to issue instructions not to drown girls, otherwise they will be severely punished." Pei Shuyan said.

When he said this, the courtiers immediately started talking.

"Is this really possible?"

"Even if these girls go to school at an early age, what can they do when they grow up? Do not they still have to get married and raise their children?"

"The most important thing is that it costs money to run a school, and it also costs money for these girls to go to school. If the family has money, it's okay, but if the family has no money, they can't afford to go to school at all. What should we do?"

Pei Shuyan listened to their discussion.

Soon, he said again: "I also have a solution to the problem raised by the ministers. That is, if a girl is drowned, she will be fined multiple times according to her family property. If she raises a girl, she will be sent to school.

, then a certain reward will be given.

"If the family is really poor and cannot afford to go to school, the girl can be allowed not to go to school, but she must not drown again.

"In short, we just want them to know that they may not be able to afford the price of drowning a girl!"

The courtiers listened, and soon there were many voices of opposition.

It is simply to say that such a mandatory policy will inevitably arouse resentment among the people.

Regarding this.

Pei Shuyan took a deep breath and began to tell the originator of his memorial today, what Yu Jiujiu asked him to say: "What if the princess of the palace also goes to school?

"As long as the imperial court vigorously publicizes it, it will be said that even the most favored and youngest princess in the palace has been cruelly sent out of the palace to study.

"The people will gradually feel that the emperor sets an example and they can follow suit."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Emperor Xuanping was stunned.

But soon, he glared at Pei Shuyan. Although he didn't speak immediately, he silently asked Pei Shuyan with his eyes whether he was sent by Yu Jiujiu!

Pei Shuyan looked sincere and innocent.

Emperor Xuanping suddenly had a headache and held his forehead.

"Your Majesty, I think this plan is feasible."

At this time, Jiang Xiang, who had no idea about Yu Jiujiu's desire to leave the palace to study, expressed his approval and said, "A few days ago, my grandson followed Princess Lingfu south. On the way, he also saw a rich man drown a girl.

Behavior, maybe we can't control the drowning of young children in poor families.

"But at least rich people can punish this kind of behavior with heavy fines to restrain it.

"As long as detailed policies and rules are formulated, I believe that gradually, this bad custom in the South will be changed.

"If the emperor agrees to this plan, then the Jiang family is willing to provide money and effort to assist the young master in implementing this policy.

"The Jiang family is also willing to send the younger girls in the family to school."

Jiang Xiang finished speaking.

Shen Mofeng, the imperial teacher who already runs a school in his family, put forward a different opinion: "I think it's inappropriate. Girls who are only three or four years old can't do anything. They need to be looked after by adults to let them study.

, who will take care of me when I get to school?

“They are so young that they can’t even hold a pen well, so how can they study?

"You know, not all children of this age are as smart as Princess Lingfu."

When Jiang Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but smile like an old fox.

"The Emperor's words made the old minister suddenly have an idea in his mind. Yunmeng Academy, which was founded by the Emperor himself, is famous all over the world. There are many southern aristocratic families who send their talented juniors to the capital to go to Yunmeng.

Studying in the Academy.

“Then if Yunmeng Academy takes the lead in setting up a kindergarten school, other academies and academies in other places will surely follow suit.

"They are so young, so of course they can't really come here to study. The most important thing is, isn't it to stop their parents from drowning girls?

"As for who will take care of these children, in my opinion, they can definitely hire their mothers, those who are experienced and know how to take care of children. In this way, they can send their children to kindergartens, and the women at home can also

Liberate, go out and work and make money.”

The more Mr. Jiang talked, the more energetic he became.

He is worthy of being an extremely wealthy businessman in his family.

The way his eyes were shining was as if he had discovered a huge business opportunity.

Seeing him like this, Pei Shuyan completely understood why the Jiang family was so rich. It was entirely a family inheritance and they knew how to do math. Just like Xiao Naituan, although he was not in business, he was already well versed in it at a young age.

No, let him be plotted today, and he will obediently sacrifice his life in this court for her ideal of going out to study in the palace.

The emperor's master felt the veins popping up on his forehead.

"Xiang Jiang is the prime minister, but he always smells like copper. He is simply not worthy of being the prime minister!" Shen Mofeng was very unhappy.

"Although the Imperial Master is the Imperial Master, his vision is always too narrow and not far-sighted enough. He is really an Imperial Master in vain!" Jiang Xiang said with a smile hidden in his face.

The two of them got into a verbal argument.

Now the regent has abdicated, retired and returned to his hometown.

Now there was one less person to quarrel with them in the court.

But Emperor Xuanping still had a headache after hearing this.

He said quickly: "Okay."

Prime Minister Jiang and the Imperial Master glared at each other and stopped.

"This matter is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. I think it is feasible." God knows, Emperor Xuanping said this with extreme reluctance.

Because he suspected that Xiao Jiuer and Pei Shuyan were colluding together.

The purpose is to get him to agree to her leaving the palace to study!
