It's a hot summer day and the cicadas in the yard are chirping happily.

The housing prices in Yong'an Street are as high as the summer temperature.

Qi Liang came to see Song Mingli again. He sat down and wiped the sweat from his head.

Song Mingli glanced at the ice basin in the room, and then looked at the tall and broad roof of the palace.

The palace had a very high roof and the room was very cool with ice placed on the floor. Apart from the noisy sound of cicadas, it was not very hot.

Shiso served a cool, sweet and sour ice drink.

Qi Liang took a big sip and said, "Is Yongan's shop ready to be sold?"

This price was already ridiculously high. Xiao was the one who was so excited that he couldn't sleep every night when he lay in bed.

He bought the land in Yong'an Street when the price was the lowest.

Now the price has increased dozens of times. One can imagine how lively Yong'an Street will be when Wenchang Academy is completed and opens.

There must be a large number of students coming here to study.

Even if they cannot come to study, there will be many people who admire Mr. Xie's reputation and come to visit and seek advice.

The shops on Yong'an Street today will surely become prosperous shops in the future.

Now, most of the shops and land on Yong'an Street are in his hands.

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

Song Mingli took a sip of tea leisurely and said, "Don't worry. The only people who want to enter Yong'an Street now are the wealthy businessmen in Kyoto."

"This news has not spread yet. It will take some time for the news to spread."

Qi Liang was shocked and looked at Song Mingli in surprise.

The news spread?

What does she mean?

"There are so many wealthy businessmen in the country, especially in the Jiangnan area, where many wealthy businessmen gather. You have to give them time to get the news and rush to Kyoto."

Song Mingli said with a smile.

Qi Liang's hand holding the ice drink trembled and he almost dropped the small blue and white bowl.

He looked at Song Mingli steadily, his heart pounding with anxiety.

He knew that Mr. Xie was famous throughout the world, but wasn't the princess's ambition a little too big?

If wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan also come to buy land, how much will the price of Yong'an Street increase?

"Do you want to be the richest man in Kyoto?" Song Mingli suddenly asked.

Qi Liang was very glad that he had just placed the small blue and white bowl on the table.

Otherwise, he would have lost his composure and thrown the bowl away.

Song Mingli couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Qi Liang's unable to conceal his excitement.

In fact, Qi Liang had done it in his previous life, but it would take another ten years.

Qi Liang is still too young now.

"If wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan really come to buy, there will inevitably be a scramble. At that time, can you stabilize the situation?" Song Mingli asked.

Qi Liang immediately became serious and thought deeply. He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and thought seriously.

"I will join hands with the Chamber of Commerce and communicate with the government. If there is really a riot, the Jingzhao Prefecture government will also be to blame. I believe they will not ignore it." Qi Liang said calmly.

Song Mingli nodded, "It's good that you have a plan, then wait for the land price to rise again."

Qi Liang took a deep breath.

He looked at Song Mingli deeply, and he had an inexplicable feeling...

He felt that the young woman in front of him had a sense of stability that came from the years and vicissitudes of life.

But obviously, she is not that old.

Her beautiful eyes seem to be able to see through many seemingly irrelevant things. How does she do it?

Song Mingli knew that Qi Liang would be surprised. How could she be so sure?

But this was related to her past life experience, and she didn't intend to explain it.

After seeing Qi Liang off, Chu Yanchen just came back from outside.

He also brought back a large stack of books.

"Most of them were found in my father's library. How do you know these books?" Chu Yanchen put the book on the table.

Song Mingli said, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness. I saw it from Elder Xie. I just wanted to look for it. If I can find it, that would be great. If not, that's fine."

Chu Yanchen sat down beside her and gently placed his hand on her shoulder. "No matter how hard it is to find the book you are looking for, I will help you find it even if I have to search the whole world."

Song Mingli's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but think of his past life.

In her previous life, she was sincere to Gu Qingshan, but when had Gu Qingshan ever treated her like this?

Gu Qingshan had always been suspicious of her, using her, and plotting against her.

She treated Gu Huai and Gu Jia as her own children.

She had put a lot of effort into Gu Huai's study. Knowing that Gu Huai came from the countryside, she was sensitive and inferior.

She thought that the Imperial College was not suitable for Gu Huai because most of the students in the Imperial College were children of powerful people.

She specifically found out that there was a teacher in Nancun who devoted himself to tutoring students who came to study there.

Nancun was full of poor people, and when such a gentleman suddenly appeared, Song Mingli did not believe it at first, so she asked someone to inquire carefully.

He even sent the maid's younger brother to study there. After inquiring for a long time, he found out that the gentleman missed the autumn examination due to a foot injury. Otherwise, with his knowledge, he would have definitely been admitted.

Not only that, this gentleman's teacher was a great scholar of the time, but he has retired to the countryside and no longer teaches.

Song Mingli wanted to send Gu Huai there to study.

Such an environment and such a responsible teacher would definitely be beneficial to Gu Huai's studies.

But Gu Qingshan thought that she was reluctant to spend money on Gu Huai and felt that she was mistreating Gu Huai.

Gu Huai also cried with red eyes and asked her if she had never considered him as her own son?

She spent so much effort to find out, but they were still suspicious and thought to have bad intentions.

Song Mingli did not force it, but instead used his connections to send Gu Huai to the Imperial College.

After Gu Huai had studied at the Imperial College for several years, Wenchang Academy was suddenly established in Nancun.

It is said that it was the lame gentleman who invited his teacher to come out of retirement.

The Wenchang Academy in the previous life was not big, but it attracted scholars from all over the country.

Nancun, which was originally the poorest village, became a prosperous place because of the many scholars who came and went.

In his previous life, Meng Fanhai changed the fate of Nancun without her help.

Even without the book she sent, Meng Fanhai was able to convince Mr. Xie and finally got him to come out of retirement.

All she did was push it forward and do it faster.

The list of books she gave to Chu Yanchen was obtained from Prince Ping by Gu Qingshan later in order to send Gu Huai to study at Wenchang Academy.

Gu Qingshan searched all the bookstores in Beijing for these books, but couldn't find even one or two.

It turned out that most of them were in the emperor's library. No wonder he couldn't find them.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Please send these books to Mr. Xie." Song Mingli smiled like a flower.

Mr. Xie now lives in Prince Jing's Mansion. When he saw Prince Jing's collection of books, he was very happy and immediately decided to live in the Mansion until Wenchang Academy was built.

Chu Yanchen saw Song Mingli smiling happily, and his eyes became more gentle.

"Let's go, let's send it to Mr. Xie together."

Song Mingli and Chu Yanchen came together to deliver the books.

The books in Prince Jing's study have already made Mr. Xie happy.

Song Mingli thought that finding these books now was just icing on the cake.

Unexpectedly, when Mr. Xie saw these books and flipped through them quickly, his face suddenly became serious and he stood up suddenly.

He swung back and forth in the room like a pendulum, his face solemn.

Song Mingli and Chu Yanchen looked at each other, confused.

"If Mr. Xie doesn't like these books, we can just take them away." Chu Yanchen hadn't finished his words.

Although Mr. Xie is quite old, his movements are more agile than those of young people.

He came back and held the books with both hands, "I like them! Who said I don't like them?"

"Then what are you doing?" Chu Yanchen looked at him in confusion.

"At first, we, a few friends, argued for a lifetime over some ideas. It turned out that the ancient sages had already thought deeply about them and wrote books about them."

"It's just that these views are either too advanced or too profound, and these books are not widely circulated. I claim to be well-read, but I have only heard of these books by chance and have never had the honor of reading them!"

“It’s rare, really rare!”

Mr. Xie said, his eyes sparkling, "No, I can't be selfish. I can't monopolize the wisdom of the ancient philosophers!"

"I will write a letter and invite them to come! We can read and discuss together!"

As Mr. Xie spoke, his entire face glowed with radiance, as if he had suddenly returned to his youth, discussing wisdom and philosophy with many like-minded young talents.

He immediately spread out paper and ground ink to write a letter to his old friend.

Song Mingli couldn't help but feel moved... Is this what she thought?

It seems that Mr. Xie is going to add fuel to her plan!
