Entering Beijing again

Everyone present agreed with what Mr. Lu said.

If a family wants to develop, it cannot just rely on itself, it also needs a lot of human connections.

Only when the network of relationships grows, will the family's future development become stronger and stronger.

"Princess, this is a very good idea. I agree with it. At the same time, it must be strictly controlled. If you want to join the ethnic studies, you must also take the exam."

"Yes, our school is for cultivating talents, and entrance examinations are required."

Everyone nodded.

Someone else asked about the Master.

Zhao and Yuan had also asked Lu Yaoyao about this before, but now Mr. Lu directly said everything Lu Yaoyao said at that time.

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed again. Princess Wanfu came out to invite him, and at least they were all great scholars of the time.

It is definitely a good thing for the Lu family to have such a capable person to teach them.

Even if the Lu family loses their title in the future, they will still be able to become a family of farmers and scholars, instead of being a lowly family of merchants.

"According to Yao Yao, this clan study requires us to be responsible for all expenses ourselves."

"How about I pay 50% of the expenses and the rest will be shared equally among you?"

As soon as Mr. Lu said these words, everyone was silent for a while, and then they all spoke to express their agreement.

This is not done for others, it is all done for the family, and it will benefit everyone if it is done well.

Besides, every family’s life is pretty good now, so it doesn’t matter if they pay some money. After all, their children can also go to clan schools in the future, right?

If it were placed in a private school outside, it would cost the same money and cause a lot of trouble.

Afterwards, after discussion between Mr. Lu and the others, a complete charter was drawn up.

On the same day, Lu Yaoyao got the detailed charter. He read it over and felt that it was very thoughtful.

Moreover, the venue is also ready-made. There used to be a small academy in her fiefdom. Although it has been somewhat in disrepair, it will not take much time to repair it a little.

According to the old man's estimation, it will only take a month or two at most.

"It seems I have to go to the capital tomorrow."

However, she didn't know where to find a scholar who was willing to come and teach vocationally.

After thinking about it, she felt that it was necessary to visit the Dong family first. As a large family with a long history of farming and reading, there should be many people who can be used in this regard.

After thinking about it, she sent someone to deliver a message to Prime Minister Dong's house.

She received a reply on the same day, and she set off for the capital again early the next morning.

However, when entering the city gate, I saw a large group of people blocking the city gate from a distance.

"What's going on?"

Qiu Shuang quickly opened the car curtain, jumped out of the car and went to ask.

After a while, we returned to the car.

"Miss, something serious has happened."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Lu Yaoyao frowned.

"Those in front of me are officials from several places who committed crimes and were escorted from various places."

"Committed a crime? What happened?"

"It has something to do with Duke Zhen Guo."

After she finished speaking, Lu Yaoyao frowned and asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with the food?"

"Yes, I heard that there is huge corruption in various places. They lied about their food reserves. In fact, there was no surplus food at all."

"Previously, the emperor asked the town to use public military rations to support Xirong, and then mobilize food from other places to replenish it, but so long has passed and not a single grain of food has been sent."

"I heard that the soldiers in the camp over at the border are very angry and say that there may be a mutiny at any time."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded, and his frown slightly relaxed.

She had already expected this. Emperor Hongwen wanted this effect.

I'm afraid that the news will soon spread in the western border area that the Duke of Zhenguo is trying to help Xirong, but the rumor about his own brother.

Once he loses the support of the people, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to control the large camps to the west, and the influence will even spread to other areas this time.

I have to say that Emperor Hongwen's approach this time was a bit ruthless and risky.

After all, if this thing is not handled well, a mutiny will occur, and then everywhere will fall into chaos.

If one person is not careful, he may even endanger the entire Dongzhou.

"I hope he can get it under control."

Lu Yaoyao secretly thought that she couldn't do much to help with this kind of thing.

After all, she doesn't have much food on hand right now. If she really needs it, she can take out some, but it's absolutely impossible to meet the need.

"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about it. Let's see if we can go to the city first?"

"Of course you can. My slave has just explained that the city guards have learned that you are going to enter the city and have already made arrangements."

"Then let's go."

Soon her carriage moved forward slowly and entered the city without encountering any obstacles.

When we arrived at the door of Dong's house, as soon as we got off the bus, we saw Prime Minister Dong leaving the house.

"Xiang Dong, are you going out?"

"Ah? I've met Princess Wanfu and I'm really sorry. I was originally going to receive the princess, but something unexpected happened and Your Majesty summoned her."

"Please, Princess, please stay at the house for a while."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded and said with a smile, "Is it about food?"

"The princess knows?"

"When I first entered the city, I saw those prisoners."

"Mr. Dong, please go and do your work first. I actually have nothing important to do, and I told your wife the same thing."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Dong handed over his hand and confessed again, and asked his servants to bring Lu Yaoyao and his servants into the mansion.

He quickly rushed to the palace.

Here, Lu Yaoyao had just entered the mansion, and Mrs. Dong Xiang and Dong Shan'er, who had already received the news, had already come out to greet them.

"I've met Princess Wanfu."

"Mrs. Dong, sister Shan'er doesn't need to be polite."

She returned the favor with a smile.

"Why is the princess free to come to the capital today?"

"I have something, and I would like to ask Mr. Dong for help."

She said to Dong Shan'er with a smile. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Dong next to her also smiled and called Lu Yaoyao to the main hall.

"So that's what happened. Princess, don't worry, we've taken care of it."

After Lu Yaoyao finished explaining his intention, Mrs. Dong smiled and agreed directly.

The most indispensable thing in the Dong family is scholars, and there are many talented scholars. Even many talented scholars live in a bit of embarrassment and rely on family financial support to survive.

Now Lu Yaoyao needs a vocational education to teach ethnic studies. For this group of people, that is a good opportunity.

"How many people does the princess need? What are the requirements?"

"I want four for the time being. The requirement is that the person must be of good moral character and not bad in knowledge. After all, he is a role model for others."

"The princess is right. How about I help you keep an eye on it? When the time comes, send their information over and you can take a look at it. If you feel satisfied, how about you inform them later?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao was startled and asked curiously, "Don't you need to ask their opinions in advance?"

She knew that most scholars in ancient times had very hard-headed minds, especially those with extraordinary knowledge and good backgrounds, and they had a very deep view of family status.

Although the Lu family has changed its family status now, it is still true that it was what it was in the past. For a family as big as the Dong family, I am afraid that many people do not take the Lu family seriously.

Let them go to the Lu family to study. When she came, she was still worried about whether they would be rejected.

I never thought that Mrs. Dong didn't even need to discuss it with anyone and just used words like "notify".
