The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

When the two men arrived at the yamen, they saw an old woman chattering about something with a yamen runner.

"I clearly counted them last night. There were clearly eight of them. But one was missing when I came this morning. I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. I counted them. There were clearly eight of them. But this morning..."

The bailiff patiently comforted him, "Okay, okay, we understand the situation. Don't worry, I'll tell the boss right away and send someone to help you find it. I guarantee that not a single chicken of yours will be missing."

After saying this, the runner asked another runner to go in and tell someone, while he helped the old woman and left first.

Chu Heng nodded with satisfaction at the corner. The scene now was completely different from the first time he came to the yamen.

After he entered the government office, there were fewer thefts in Liping, so County Magistrate Duan was not so busy anymore.

Seeing Chu Heng and the others come in, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, Miss Cheng."

After the two of them sat down, Chu Heng said, "I want to know the current situation of those who left Liping before. You don't have to check all of them. Just a few who are doing well will do. I want to know where they are now."

"This is not difficult. Once I have found out, I will send someone to inform Your Highness."

"There are a few more things." Chu Heng explained all the ways to attract young people to the academy.

"Everything else is easy to deal with. This is the twenty kilograms of food per month..."

"You don't have to worry about that. I will provide the food."

Magistrate Duan was surprised, but since the Prince of Chen could afford it, that was naturally a good thing.

Magistrate Duan immediately picked up his pen and wrote several notices, and asked his subordinates to make more copies and post them on the streets.

After discussing a few more things, Chu Heng and the other man left the yamen.

When the two men passed by the street, the notice had already been posted. In order to prevent the people from being illiterate, a yamen runner stood next to the notice, specifically to read the notice and answer questions for the people.

"Can studying really earn you food?"

"Yes, the notice has been issued, how can you still be fake? As long as you meet the requirements, you can get it."

"If you perform well, you can work in the county government? Women can do that, too?"

"Not bad!"

"Three years later, those who perform well will be personally recommended by the Prince to the ministers in the court, and they can participate in the imperial examination! This is a great opportunity to bring honor to the family!"

"It's not that easy. We in Liping have never had a high-ranking official. People should still be down-to-earth and just have enough food and clothing. Is it that easy to pass the imperial examination?"

"You don't know yet, right? The teachers in Liping Academy all have extraordinary backgrounds."

"The principal of Liping Academy is Master Zhu."

"Master?"

"Do you know what position the Grand Tutor holds?" the man kept the question in suspense.

The people around him looked at him curiously: "What kind of official?"

"Teacher Zhu was the teacher of the late emperor! Many high-ranking officials in the court were his students! If you go to the academy to study, you will be considered as fellow students of the late emperor and these high-ranking officials."

"Wow! Everyone opened their mouths wide, "Is this true? The emperor's teacher can come to our poor and remote place?"

"How could it be false? This is all thanks to the King of Chen. The King of Chen chose us as his fiefdom. How lucky we are!"

"Not only that, there is also Master Yan from Liping Academy. Do you know who he is?"

Everyone stared with wide eyes waiting for his next words.

"He was originally the principal of Gusu Lulin Academy. Later, the top two candidates in the imperial examination were both his students. He was then transferred to Baichuan Academy."

"Baichuan Academy!"

Although they were in Liping, they had heard of Baichuan Academy, the highest institution of learning in Dongling.

That is a place that all scholars in the world yearn for.

Although they say that studying is useless, it is because they have no confidence that they can change their lives through studying.

But I also know in my heart that there are people who have really changed their lives through reading.

"Not only that, do you know the origin of the female teacher of Liping Academy? She is extraordinary. She is the junior sister of Empress Yuhe and the dean of the women's school of Baichuan Academy. I heard that if she hadn't been framed, she would have been the first female official in Dongling!"

"She is also the master of our Princess Chen! She is no ordinary person to be able to teach a disciple like Princess Chen!"

"Wow!!"

"We have made great progress in Liping. So many talented people have come here."

"I think we should let the kids try it, and if it doesn't work then we can just not go."

"Yes, there are also food."

"What if my son has that kind of luck?"

"With so many knowledgeable people teaching them, who knows, maybe Liping will really produce a top scholar..."

The people were talking about it, and many of them were taking a wait-and-see attitude.

Now that I have gone to the academy, there is no one to work at home. Although I don’t have to pay tuition, the pens, ink, paper and inkstone are not cheap.

After this day, many people came to the academy to inquire about the place, and the academy also received dozens of students.

Many teachers came to the academy because of its reputation, and some came for the remuneration.

Not long after, the scholars who had left from all over Liping suddenly came back.

All of them are glamorous and beautiful, and can be said to have returned home in glory.

Whether they are businessmen or officials, they are all educated.

Hearing about someone is not as good as meeting him in person. Only when the people see with their own eyes how well these scholars are living now will they change their minds.

Sure enough, the academy soon had hundreds of students.

Master Zhu discussed with several others and set a date for the classes to officially begin at Liping Academy.

Specialty halls and academies are all run very successfully.

The Jingsai Army also grew from less than 3,000 people to nearly 40,000.

Chu Heng and Pei Jin developed a series of training. After a few months, these recruits had become less lazy and started to act like real soldiers.

The official road from Liping to other towns was opened, and the Pei family caravan traveled back and forth on the road every day, exchanging cartloads of Liping specialties for cartloads of things or silver that Liping needed.

It is not enough to have only official roads, other roads and bridges are also being built.

Everything was on the right track. Cheng Jiuyuan no longer worried about anything else and focused on preparing for his own clinic.
