Chapter 272: Women's Studies
Shi Wen'er observed the words and looks, and knew that his goal had been initially achieved, and if he wanted to hurry, he would not reach it, so he didn't say more, and flattered a few words, and asked Dou Bingwen to call a few singers to come over and accompany everyone to eat and drink, and happily didn't mention it.

A few days later, another piece of good news came, Zheng Ange died.
Under the accompaniment of the Zheng Mansion full of white flags and the earth-shattering cry, King Yun and his entourage embarked on the return journey back to Lingnan. Li Yuehua's mood was relaxed, his purpose of running to Luoyang in person was finally achieved, this old thief was finally dead.
Although the Zheng family did not fall, Zheng Chengyong could not hold a substantive position in the court because he was still a princess. Unless someone from the Zheng family returns to the official career with the imperial examination in the future, otherwise, although the Zheng family is noble in the future, it will no longer be a threat.
With Zheng Ange's death, the Shengwu army generals are ready to move. Even the same is true of the Holy Protector Army, two children who have not built an inch of merit, it is not easy to suppress these veterans who started by military merit.
It's just that Zhao Haoxi, the uncle of Zhao Boyong, who has always served as the emperor's teacher, succeeded Zheng Ange and made a Chinese book order, and the group of Protectors of the Holy Army is honest. Li Chengsi also took the opportunity to transfer back from Lulong to Wei Jiangyun, the younger brother of Li Jiangyuan, the envoy of Lulong Jiedu, to serve as the commander of the left army of the Shengwu Army.
Li Jiangyuan's original surname is Wei, he is Li Yuexu's guard, because of his bravery, and saved Li Yuexu's life, he was given the surname Li by Li Yuexu, and was accepted as a righteous son, and Zhang Shuyuan, Li Yuehua and others are called the Eight King Kongs.
The Wei brothers came from humble backgrounds and gained fame for their military exploits, and there was no way out except to be loyal to the emperor. This is exactly the reason why Li Chengsi takes a fancy to the Wei brothers.
Shi Wen'er stood beside Li Yuehua, and the two looked at the direction of Luoyang together, but their moods were different. Li Yuehua was temporarily relieved, and there would be no one in the court who would be an enemy of Lingnan for a while.
Shi Wen'er was worried about Zhao Lili, not knowing if she could succeed, and not knowing if she could be safe. Especially her ambition, if it is discovered, I am afraid that there will be no place to bury.
In fact, Shi Wen'er's worries were superfluous, and ordering poison to the emperor that he couldn't detect at all was too simple for Zhao Lili. The person who tasted it in the palace was either an inner prison or a palace maid, even if it was a man, it was nothing, anyway, it wouldn't be noticed for a while.
Zhao Lili is also much wiser and stronger than the girl Shi Wen'er imagined. It's just that she has always looked like a willful little girl in front of Shi Wen'er, which made Shi Wen'er underestimate Zhao Lili.
However, when Shi Wen'er returned to Lingnan, she still noticed that some things were different from before.
The Empress issued a decree to establish an official women's school, allowing women to study in schools, and promised to set up an enke specifically for women in three years, and select outstanding female officials to serve in the palace.
But except for Shi Wen'er, no one seems to think there is anything wrong. Even Li Yuehua smiled and said: "The lord doesn't seem to like women who are just beautiful, and he wants to train women all over the world to study to enrich the harem." This Empress Zhao, in order to please the emperor, can really think of new tricks. ”
It seems that all places have the same opinion as Li Yuehua, the emperor does not choose women by sex, and the queen is not jealous and takes the initiative to enrich the harem for the emperor, which is only good for the empire.
So, all over the country praised the queen's virtue, vigorously and resolutely obeyed the order, those big families, heard that they could be court officials after completing their studies, they were even more eager to do it, and all of a sudden, the wind of women's learning rose, and there were many exquisite carriages on the street, all of which were sent to their daughters to go to school.
Wei Youqing wanted to send flowers back to Pearl Island, but because of the girl's school, Hua Xijian was already six years old, and she could also go to the girls' home to study.
Shi Wen'er couldn't resist him, thinking that it was a good thing to study, anyway, Hua Xijian was only six years old, and there were still ten years before the election of the court lady, so he went.
Taking advantage of this trend of women's learning, women's learning has also arisen on Pearl Island, and the women's middle school will read first, regardless of the old and young women, they can come to study, and Liu Yixiu is responsible for management. This is also what Wei Jingyu looked for for her when he saw that Liu Yixiu was always bored at home. The school is located in the courtyard where Wei Jingyu and Liu Yixiu used to live.
With the continuous development of the northern tip of Pearl Island, Wei Jingyu's residence became more and more unfashionable. Finally, in the slightly higher place of the previous village, a large courtyard with four entrances was built, and the high gate building was erected, and the carved beams were painted, and finally had the momentum and majesty of the island owner.
The current situation on Pearl Island, as Shi Wen'er expected, has more and more population, and there is no war on the island, whether it is the people who lived on the island before, or those who moved later, as long as they have the ability, they like to build big yards and big houses.
All of a sudden, construction was going on everywhere on the island. That situation made Wei Jingyu worry that all the land would be taken to build houses, so he strictly ordered that villages should be demarcated according to population, and each village must ensure the corresponding land, and only build houses in places that are not suitable for farming, and the land required for building houses must be planned uniformly, and a lot of fees must be paid.
The land to the north is not large, and a large piece of land has to be divided between the salt works and the barracks. No one dared to approach the herb forest in the north, and with the large canyon with the chain bridge as the boundary, all the people were crowded into the narrow strip between the herb forest and the southern natives.
From the west coast to the east coast, in addition to the east coast around the main city formed by Wei Jingyu's family at the earliest, there are no less than ten towns large and small, plus villages formed around the towns, plus the island is warm all year round, the climate is suitable, idyllic songs are seen everywhere, and the population has skyrocketed.
On the island, soldiers are recruited according to the two-piece drawing system and three-year substitution. There are also lectures in the soldiers, and the content of the lectures includes Confucian ethics, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and so on.
But Wei Youqing can't see these things, not long after he returned to Guangzhou, Li Chengyu ordered Mi Li'er and others to return to Xindao, and Li Chengyu's letter asked Mi Li'er to bring Wei Youqing with him. Because he heard that Hua Xijian had entered the women's school to study, Li Chengyu's letter specifically mentioned, "Then don't bring her here." ”
Li Chengyu stayed in Xindao and did not return to Guangzhou during Mi Li'er's trip to Luoyang, Mi Li'er took with him more than 50 older children, and more than 200 children stayed in Xindao and received strict training.
Li Chengyu lives in Xindao, but not to supervise the training of this group of children, the northern tip of Pearl Island is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, especially this winter is very cold, the number of people running to Pearl Island from the north is multiplying, the village where Ji'a Shui lives in the east, the refugees who fled from the dock are full of people, and the natives who originally moved here are now looking for women. Some natives who made a lot of money built a big yard and brought home more than one big girl.
