Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

Qin Mu pushed the door open and entered, and the cold air from outside flooded into the room in an instant.

Xiangcheng put down the book in his hand, and came quickly, took Qin Mu's cloak virtuously, "Husband, I heard from Rengui that uncle came to the mansion to look for you."

Qin Mu nodded, "Your Majesty insists on letting me be the prince and grand teacher. Today, I entered the palace together with Kong Yingda and Lu Deming."

"Master Kong and Master Lu?" Xiangcheng frowned slightly, and said quietly: "The two of them didn't make things difficult for your husband, did they?"

"Hehe..." Qin Mu chuckled lightly, "In Datang, where would anyone make things difficult for me?"

While the two were talking, the servant girl Ling'er came in with a wooden basin, "Your Highness, hot water is here for you."

"Just put it in the outhouse."

"It's Your Highness, you and the son-in-law had a rest earlier, and Ling'er is leaving."

Followed by.

Xiangcheng ran outside the house to bring in hot water, and said softly, "Husband, it's cold outside, you've been running around for another day, soak your feet to drive away the cold."

As she spoke, she brought the wooden basin to Qin Mu's feet, took off his shoes and socks, and rolled up his trouser legs, showing a virtuous and virtuous manner.

"Madam is too polite, I'll do it myself." Qin Mu is used to living alone, and the life of being served by others really made him uncomfortable.

Xiangcheng picked up Qin Mu's feet and put them in the basin, murmured: "Since you are my husband, I should be responsible for this matter. If I don't take good care of you, it is Xiangcheng's responsibility."

As he spoke, he began to wash Qin Mu's feet with jade hands.

Qin Mu is very pleased that Xiangcheng, as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, can do this.

Begging for a wife is after all to live a life, and the wife and children are hot on the bed.

Xiangcheng continued: "Husband, Rengui said that you are going to build a business? Are you going to sell fine salt and drunken wine together?"

Qin Mu nodded and said: "More and more salt farms and wine farms are being expanded, and they will go out of Gyeonggi Province in the future and open all over the cities of the Tang Dynasty. If there is no one who knows how to control them, there will definitely be troubles, but I have been looking for them for a few days. , there has been no suitable candidate.”

"Well, you can't be anxious about this matter, you need to find a reliable person." Xiangcheng replied thoughtfully.

She also had no suitable candidate in mind.

"By the way, my husband, the renovation of the college has come to an end. I have placed the first batch of students in the post house next to the college for the time being. As soon as the master arrives, the college can officially start classes." Xiangcheng continued: "It's just this master , It’s hard to find, most of the great Confucians nowadays are trying to gain fame, I really don’t want to put these children in their hands.”

Qin Mu responded, "You don't need to get entangled in this matter. I've already found my master. It doesn't matter if I try to gain fame. As long as I come to the academy, I can subdue them."

Xiangcheng raised his head, stared at Qin Mu with a pair of big watery eyes, and said happily, "Your husband is serious?"

"Of course." Qin Mu said firmly: "After half a month, when everything is ready, the masters will report to the academy. At that time, they will probably be bombarded and they will not leave."

Hearing this, Xiangcheng smiled knowingly, "Husband is talking about Kong Yingda and Lu Deming? Aren't they teaching in the Imperial College, teaching those brothers from aristocratic families? How could they condescend to come to this humble academy?"

Qin Mu took it lightly and said, "You don't need to get entangled in this matter, I have my own means to deal with them, and you will know when the time comes."

After washing their feet, the two went to bed.

Spring nights are worth thousands of dollars.

Fifteen days later.

Chapter 134: Mangya Academy

Chang'an City.

East City.

A college that can accommodate [-] students stands proudly.

In front of the academy, Princess Xiangcheng looked at the plaque with indescribable joy in her heart.

Mangya Academy.

An academy belonging to the children of soldiers who died for the country, and an academy belonging to poor families. The buildings built here are even more majestic than Guozijian, the top school in the Tang Dynasty.

Guozijian can accommodate [-] noble students, but Mangya Academy can accommodate [-] poor students.

"My lord, we did it."

Xiangcheng looked at Qin Mu at the side, his eyes were moist, and his words were excited.

Without Qin Mu, it would be almost impossible for her to plan to build such a grand and humble academy.

"We not only want to do it, but also make it bigger and stronger, so that everyone in the world can read books." Qin Mu smiled and responded softly.

There were 2000 students in the first batch of students here. The parents of each of them were heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and each of them came from a poor family.

This is Qin Mu's explanation to them.

For a moment.

Li Er led all the civil and military officials, and they arrived late.

He couldn't miss the opening of the academy today. After all, he was also a partner of the academy, and he was generous with this geomantic treasure.

Kong Yingda, Lu Deming and several great scholars followed Li Er.

They wanted to see with their own eyes whether Qin Mu was talking in exaggeration or actually doing something.

"Your Majesty is here."

Following the voice of the old eunuch Wang De, Li Er rushed up from the dragon.

Looking at the gate of Mangya Academy and the four big characters flying like dragons and phoenixes, Li Er raised a smile on his lips, "Mangya Academy, what a Mangya Academy..."

"Qin Mu (children) see His Majesty."

"See Your Majesty."

Seeing Li Er coming, everyone stepped forward to salute.

"Excuse me, excuse me..." Li Er waved his hand and said with a big laugh, "Qin Mu, the Mangya Academy of yours is even more magnificent than the Imperial Academy. I really envy you."

Li Er shouted at the top of his voice.

He said these words deliberately to the officials of the family behind him with gloomy faces and unwilling hearts.

It can be said that these family officials hated Qin Mu to the core.

After the completion of the construction of the Humble Academy, Li Er will resume the imperial examinations. This is the most fatal blow to the officials of the aristocratic family who control the officialdom.

Xiangcheng Liu raised his eyebrows slightly, and responded: "Father, what are you envious of? Mangya Academy does not belong to anyone. It belongs to the poor family in the world. At this stage, those who enter this school must be soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. Humble."

"However, Mangya Academy will continue to expand in the future. At that time, as long as you come from a poor family and have excellent moral character, you can be admitted to study in the academy."

It's not that Xiangcheng deliberately steals Qin Mu's limelight, but that she deliberately protects Qin Mu and takes all this on herself.

"Hahaha..." Li Er listened to Xiangcheng's words, and his brows beamed with joy, "Xiangcheng, as a princess of the Tang Dynasty, I am very relieved that you can have such awareness. .”

After the words fell, Li Erhu walked quickly and led all the civil and military officials to the courtyard.

In today's Jinxiu Villa, there is less extravagance, less extravagance, a little more youthful vigor, and a little more book fragrance.

From time to time, students in standard school uniforms passed by to receive their books.

The disciplines offered by Mangya Academy are the same as those of Guozijian. They are all six schools, namely Guozixue, Taixue, Simenxue, Law, Calligraphy, and Mathematics.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the students and the books in their arms, Li Er stopped, frowned slightly, turned to look at Qin Mu, and muttered: "Qin Mu, the students who come and go in this courtyard, the books in their hands What kind of books are you holding? Isn’t your academy mainly focused on the six subjects?”

Qin Mu stepped forward and said indifferently: "Return to Your Majesty, what they hold in their hands are the books of the Six Schools. The school opened today, and the students all received them at the distribution office of the Six Schools."

"That's not right." Li Er shook his head, wondering, "Then why are all paper books instead of bamboo slips? You, Qin Mu, are not so rich that the two thousand students in Mangya Academy all use paper books, right?"

Li Er was puzzled, and the officials behind him were even more confused.

You know, in this period, paper is more expensive than gold, not to mention the Imperial Palace, there are many bamboo slips even in the palace, this Mangya Academy seems to realize the self-owned paper.

Qin Mu nodded, "Your Majesty is right. There are no bamboo slips in Mangya Academy. The six studies used by the students in class and the classics of Chinese studies in the library are all paper books."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

"Heh... the son-in-law is really arrogant. If you want to make a name for the humble academy, why bother to say such wild words."

"Even if what the son-in-law said is true, all the money was spent on paper to open the poor family academy. Isn't this contrary to the philosophy of the poor family academy?"

"Paper, even me, a fourth-rank official, dare not use it casually. This humble academy is really bold."

Several family officials spoke contemptuously and sarcastically.

Li Er's face was also a little ugly, "Qin Mu, it's a good thing to open a poor family college, but you use paper books instead of bamboo slips for all the six schools of [-] students. Isn't that a bit nonsense?"

"The money I allocated to you from the household department is not for you to use like this."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xiangcheng again, and pondered: "Xiangcheng, do you need me to remind you of this kind of thing? Why is it so extravagant and wasteful?"

Qin Mu remained calm and murmured: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the books on the six studies of these two thousand students were all printed by Mangya Village, and they never cost the household department a cent."

Li Er lowered his eyes and said: "Even if you didn't spend a penny like the Ministry of Accounts, if you do this, won't it breed comparisons among students?"

"You have to know that even the Imperial College doesn't know how to use paper six studies."

"If the Imperial College is not used, then Mangya Academy can't be used? Your Majesty's words really make Qin Mu hard to believe." Qin Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said quietly, "I really don't understand, I use the paper made by the paper mill in Mangya Village , and then distributed the books printed by the Mangya Village printing factory to the students of Mangya Academy, why did His Majesty reprimand you so much?"

"Mangya Village Paper Factory? Mangya Village Printing Factory?" Hearing what Qin Mu said, Li Er frowned, wondering, "What are you talking about? Could it be that all these papers are produced in your Mangya Village? "

Qin Mu responded lightly, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"When did your paper mill open?"

"last month."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? The paper mill opened last month can produce so much paper and print so many books?"

The officials of the surrounding aristocratic families even sneered and dismissed it.

"My son-in-law is boasting a bit too much."

"That's right, the son-in-law is getting more and more exaggerated, be careful not to justify what he said."

"According to the son-in-law, isn't that paper very cheap? What a joke."

Chapter 135: My little cotton padded jacket is a bit leaky

Listening to Li Er's sarcasm and the ridicule of the family officials behind him, Qin Mu remained unmoved, calm and calm.

But Xiangcheng's face on the side sank, his eyes gradually became indifferent, he turned his head to look at Li Er, and said in a deep thought: "Father, the paper workshop and printing workshop are located in Mangya Village, is it true or not, which one is right and which one is wrong?" , you can see it when you go there, why bother to question it here.”

Hearing this, without waiting for Li Er's reaction, Xiangcheng looked at the officials of the family behind him, lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty and Prince Consort are asking questions here, what does it have to do with you? You are ridiculing here, using your ignorance as a rebuke The weapon of the son-in-law will lose your own face in the end."

At this moment, Xiangcheng turned into a husband-protecting madman, and angered Li Er and the officials of the family.

Li Er listened to Xiangcheng's words, his complexion was ashen, he was really a married daughter, and she was splashed with water.

Before he could do anything, he began to support Qin Mu.

The officials of the aristocratic families who spoke were stunned by Xiangcheng, and stopped talking, secretly scolding Qin Mu for being useless.

He didn't speak at the side, and let the princess take the lead for him.

Changsun Wuji saw that the scene was cold, and hurried out to fight the fire, "Since Her Royal Highness said so, and everyone has doubts, why not visit Mangya Academy before we go to Mangya Village."

"When the time comes, what the son-in-law said will be true or false, and it will be self-defeating."

"Okay." Li Er replied a little angrily, "Then let's visit quickly, and then go straight to Mangya Village."

After the words fell, Li Er stopped talking, and led everyone to continue to visit Mangya Academy with a cold face.

After a while, everyone came out of Mangya Academy, or rode a car, or rode straight to Mangya Village, today's energy still needs to be compared.

Speechless all the way.

Everyone arrived at Mangya Village before noon.

Enter the main street of Mangya Village from the entrance of the village.

Li Er and the surrounding civil and military officials were all taken aback, their eyes could not help but glance around.

Is this still the ruined village full of refugees?

The main street in the village is paved with bluestone, which is smooth and tidy. There are many shops and small stalls on both sides of the street. People come and go in an endless stream, with smiles on their faces.

Lively, prosperous, happy, stable...

This was Li Er and Baiguan's first impression of Mangya Village and the people in Mangya Village.

At this time, Mangya Village can no longer be called a village, and is developing towards a town.

See Li Er coming with a hundred officials.
