The Xiao family has been discussing the matter of taking a concubine, but everyone’s opinions are surprisingly consistent, which is to encourage Han Yi to take a concubine.

Although Fang Xuanling did not have a concubine, it was because of Mrs. Fang's strength, not because Fang Xuanling did not want to take concubines. However, Mrs. Fang was not a mainstream idea. In terms of the rules and regulations of the court, there were official regulations on concubines. How many concubines can be taken by officials of several ranks of people? In other words, it is legal and natural to take concubines.

Xiao Rui thought it was difficult for Xiao Wuyi to get pregnant. If Han Yi did not take a concubine, then the task of giving birth would be all on Xiao Wuyi. If the one who gave birth to this person was not a son, Xiao Wuyi would be under even greater pressure. In fact, taking a concubine would be a reduction in Xiao Wuyi's task.

In fact, Xiao Rui did this for the sake of family harmony.

Of course, the jealousy phenomenon of later generations basically did not appear in this era. First of all, there are detailed provisions on the right wife, legitimate son, concubine, and concubine son in the rituals. The order of rank and inferiority does not mean that Han Yi can do whatever he wants. Moreover, concubines are usually humble, and maids and singers mostly have no freedom in life and can be exchanged. Therefore, even if Xiao Wuyi unfortunately dies, he will most likely find another wife and will not promote concubine to wife. Xiao Rui doesn't need to worry about this.

But Xiao Rui didn't know that Han Yi was not only his daughter, but also Yuan Mudan and Yang Feixue there. The three of them were just as good as possible. They were not settled here and they even took concubines there. Han Yi was crazy.

No matter who said that, Han Yi refused decisively, he really never thought about it.

The next day!

Imperial Garden!

"My minister Han Yi will meet with His Majesty, Empress."

Han Yi was summoned to the palace by Li Zhi early in the morning, and of course he also knew why Li Zhi was looking for him.

"No gift!"

Li Zhi first glanced at Wu Meiniang, and then said: "I talked with the queen last night about whether the descendants of soldiers can go to Zhaoyi College to study, but the queen still has doubts about this."

Wu Meiniang continued: "Shilarious Minister Han, Zhaoyi Academy is just donated by kind people. Even with the support of the court, I think it is still difficult to achieve perfection. However, this is related to the army and is not a joke. If there is anything wrong, it will be troublesome. What I mean is why not let the court build a college directly, which is more legitimate."

Han Yi said: "Reporting to the Queen, Weichen thought that if he hadn't cooperated with Zhaoyi Academy, then he would not do this for the time being."

Li Zhi was curious and said, "Why is this?"

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, if you only build a few colleges, it will be a drop in the bucket for the court. However, it is probably difficult to take care of the military households in the world with the current fiscal revenue. If the court formally comes forward to establish a college, it is not a gift, but a system. Then all the Zhechong Mansions must be covered in a short period of time. Otherwise, those military households who have not attended school will be dissatisfied, fearing that Zhechong Mansions in various places will make trouble, but the finances cannot afford it.
