Parents are busy farming

After hearing this, Jia Mingyu showed a satisfied smile on his face and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Afterwards, he led everyone away, leaving the bewildered butler standing there, completely unaware of what was going on.

After the housekeeper went back, Zhang Gaoyi was sitting in the room, looking at Zhang Wangshi and Bai Xiangyang with a serious expression.

Seeing him coming back, Zhang Gaoyi couldn't wait to ask, "How much money is left in the General's Mansion?"

The housekeeper did not dare to hide it and quickly replied: "Master, there is only some money left for daily expenses, the rest..."

He hesitated to speak because he knew that the remaining silver was with Ye Zifen, which was also the master's previous order.

Zhang Gaoyi naturally understood the reason and sighed, "I understand. You can go down first. I need to find a way to raise the 1,000 taels of silver."

After the housekeeper left, Zhang Gaoyi gave Zhang Wangshi a helpless smile and said with emotion: "I used to beg people for a few taels of silver, but now I have to worry about a thousand taels of silver."

Zhang Wang's eyes widened in disbelief, questioning, "Who would believe that the General's Mansion is so rich, but can't even take out a thousand taels of silver? When I first got here, didn't you take out two hundred taels of silver for me? Is that all your belongings? And that person just said that the emperor rewarded you with a lot of money!"

Zhang Gaoyi sneered and said, "So many members of the Tiger Army have followed me through thick and thin. I can't let them live in poverty compared to when they were in the caravan! This is my promise to them."

Zhang Wang grumbled, "Who told you to be so stubborn? You insisted on giving all the money to them. It would be better if you could keep a little for yourself."

Bai Xiangyang on the side said: "Why don't we take out some of the things in the mansion and sell them? I think these things should be very valuable."

Zhang Gaoyi frowned and said seriously: "This is a house awarded by the emperor. The things inside are also awarded by the emperor. Who dares to sell it! Who dares to buy it?"

Bai Xiangyang looked at Zhang Gaoyi with wide eyes and dared not say anything.

Zhang Wang asked angrily, "Where are you going to get the money? Are you going to go to the girl from the Ye family again? Well, the emperor has already granted the marriage, so won't her money be yours in the future? What's wrong with going to her to get some money now?"

Zhang Gaoyi was too lazy to talk to her and turned around and left the General's Mansion.

At the same time, Ye Zifen was discussing the site selection and enrollment matters of the academy with Old Master Song.

She sat opposite Old Master Song, her expression focused and serious.

"Grandpa Song, I think the location of the academy should be in the north." Ye Zifen's eyes were firm, as if she had seen the prosperity of the academy in the future.

Then, she explained, “There are few academies in the north, and many students have no way to study. If we build an academy here, it will definitely benefit the area.”

Old Master Song nodded slightly, indicating his agreement, but at the same time reminded: "Princess Fuxia's idea is very good, but there are many matters that need to be considered carefully."

He knew the situation in the North very well. Although resources were scarce and conditions were harsh, as long as these difficulties could be overcome, great changes could be brought about in the local area.

Ye Zifen naturally understood that the conditions in the north were indeed not as good as those in the south, but she believed that for those experienced architects, these problems could be easily solved.

She said confidently: "I will arrange the manpower and material resources required for the construction of this academy. I have written to ask a construction team I am familiar with to come over, and they will definitely ensure the quality and progress of the academy."

She knew that in order to achieve this goal, there must be sufficient financial support.

He has now begun to think about where to squeeze out this part of the money.

But she was not worried, because the economy in various parts of Daxia had begun to recover, and the days to come would get better and better, but food still had to be shipped from overseas.

She believes that as long as everyone works together, they will be able to successfully build this academy.

Old Master Song gently stroked his beard and slowly said, "In that case, I will take the responsibility of inviting a teacher. However, the selection of the teacher does need to be carefully considered. Although I have many students, most of them are serving in the court, and the children at home can teach those scholars. But I will still visit the other old guys. When the reputation of the academy spreads, it will naturally attract more talented people."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly to show her agreement, and continued, "I really haven't noticed these things, so I'll have to trouble Old Master Song to take care of them. However, I have another idea. I hope that this academy can set aside an area to teach civilian children various practical skills."

When Old Master Song heard this, he was slightly stunned and asked curiously: "This is a novel idea. I wonder what Princess Fuxia's specific plan is?"

Ye Zifen's eyes flashed with determination, and she answered firmly: "I will personally invite professional masters in related fields to teach, so that ordinary people can also master a skill so that they can live and work in peace in the future."

At the same time, she was secretly thinking about how to recruit some talents with expertise in this area from overseas to bring back to China.

But it's just an idea now, and he will ask the caravan members to pay attention to this aspect later.

Old Master Song couldn't help but sigh: "Princess Fuxia is really kind-hearted! This move will surely benefit more people."

He expressed his appreciation and admiration for Ye Zifen's good deeds.

Ye Zifen raised the corners of her mouth slightly, smiled and looked at Old Master Song and asked, "Old Master Song, what do you think of the knowledge of my two cousins? Recently, they have been asking you for advice a lot!"

Old Master Song snorted, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Ye Zifen, "You are such a clever girl. Now I am about to become the tutor of both of them!"

Hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said jokingly: "In that case, aren't they brothers from the same sect as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Old Master Song shook his head helplessly, with a doting smile on his face, "You are really a naughty little girl, you dare to say anything. But if you think about it carefully, what you said does make sense."

After thinking for a while, Old Master Song continued, "Chuanshan is indeed a genius, the most outstanding person in your Wang family. Whether it is studying, various fantastic ideas, people's livelihood and civil affairs, or even the understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics, he has unique insights. Chuanren is relatively conventional, but he is also a diligent and down-to-earth person. Overall, they are both very good!"
