At this time, Li Rong, who was playing with the Ninth Princess' son, thought of the poems her mother had taught them.

"That's right, auntie princess. It's noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat is dripping from the soil. Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard work."

After hearing this poem, the eldest prince looked at Li Rong calmly.

If he hadn't been working under the hot sun today, he wouldn't have felt the same way.

So apt.

"Miss Ah Rong, what is the name of this poem? Who wrote it?" the eldest prince asked with a humble attitude.

Li Rong smiled and looked at Liu Pan'er with admiration, "It's my mother, her name is Chuhe. Just twenty simple words can describe the hard work of farmers and alert the world to cherish food."

Li Wei also nodded, "Yeah, yes, I couldn't finish the rice in my bowl, so my mother asked me to recite "Hoe the Rice" a hundred times. From then on, I never dared to waste food again."

Li Xiaobao sighed, "Hey, you are just reciting poems. Anan and I don't cherish food and just starve ourselves to make sure everything is delicious."

When the eldest prince heard this, he stepped forward and respectfully gave Mrs. De Rui Liu Pan'er's luggage, "Madam is a talented woman with compassion for others. I admire her endlessly."

Liu Pan'er was embarrassed. She didn't have the ability to write such a famous line through the ages. But that poet didn't exist in this era!

She quickly stretched out her hand to support him, "The eldest prince does not need to be polite. The more he knows and knows, the more he will naturally have to bear more responsibilities. If you are poor, you can only take care of yourself. If you are rich, you can help the world."

"Although I, Liu Pan'er, am a woman, I still have the heart to serve the people and the country. Your Majesty appreciates my talents and does not take them lightly just because I am a woman. Instead, I treat me with great courtesy. Of course, I will do my best to be loyal to the court."

These words made the eldest prince, second prince, and ninth princess extremely moved.

"Sister Pan'er, if you were a man, you would definitely be a scholar-official. Gu Shao and General Li are not as good as you." The Ninth Princess praised, looking at Liu Pan'er with eyes full of admiration.

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "A ruler is short and an inch is long. Everyone has strengths. It's just that some people can achieve something by taking advantage of their strengths. Some people don't have the opportunity, or they don't realize their potential.

He has no strengths, so he can only do nothing."

"Although I am better than my husband and Mr. Gu in some aspects, I am not as good as them in terms of fighting and running the country. I know it clearly, so I use my strengths and avoid my weaknesses. You can see more of my strengths."

No matter what, it's admirable.

The eldest prince complimented you again, "Mrs. De Rui, you have made great achievements not only in agriculture, but also in arithmetic and miscellaneous studies. I studied in Jixiang Library for a few days and I think it's very good."

"After all, not everyone is good at the imperial examination, and some people may be more interested in arithmetic, miscellaneous studies, and agriculture because they are good at it. I feel that in the imperial examination, the Four Books and Five Classics cannot simply govern local government affairs."

"Officials who have made great achievements in the past will also study hard, but more officials just want to be officials and do not learn these things."

"The quality of life of the people in a place often has a lot to do with their parents and officials. It cannot be said that all officials are good, but most of them want to govern the local area well. However, their abilities are limited, and things often go against their wishes."

"If more officials can learn knowledge about agriculture, arithmetic, miscellaneous subjects, etc., it will be of great benefit to them in governing the local area."

The eldest prince's words are clear and logical, but when it is really implemented, there must be a lot of resistance.

Although Liu Pan'er has many ideas, this is ancient times, and her experience in the past few years tells her that she cannot move too fast.

The Ninth Princess thought for a while, "Then just ask the emperor to add agriculture, arithmetic, and miscellaneous subjects to the imperial examination. Wouldn't that be enough?"

The eldest prince and the second prince looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "The imperial examination is a major plan for the country. We dare not change it lightly."

"If changes are made, readers who get the news may have the opportunity to review. But in remote places, they may not be able to study due to information and other obstructions, which is unfair to them."

At this time, Li Rong blinked and said, "What the eldest prince said is that after ten years of studying hard in a cold window, he finally failed because of the sudden increase in subjects, which will inevitably cause an uproar."

"Since we can't rashly add it to the imperial examination questions, we can wait until they finish the traditional examination, and then organize a period of study in agriculture and miscellaneous subjects. If the examination is in a small area."

"In the examination at this time, no one will be passed down, but official positions will be allocated based on the performance of the study. If you are good at studying, you can go to the Ministry of Household Affairs; if you are good at studying agriculture and water conservancy, you can be a local official; if you are good at studying things, you can go to the Ministry of Industry

…”

Everyone who was still a little regretful suddenly became enlightened after hearing Li Rong's words.

The eldest prince looked at Li Rong with a little more energy.

Is the daughter raised by Mrs. Derry so smart and clever?

The Ninth Princess applauded, "Ah Rong, you are so smart, you came up with such a good idea at once. Yu Ze, what do you think?"

The eldest prince Yuze nodded, "Very good, quite good. This way there is less resistance, and it also allows those who have passed the imperial examination to learn practical knowledge."

"As time goes by, it will be gradually popularized and more and more people will learn this, and the people who will benefit in the end will be the people."

"Mrs. De Rui, after returning to the capital, Ze suggested to my father to build a similar arithmetic and miscellaneous study hall and ask my wife to be the mountain chief. Is that okay?"

Liu Pan'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Thanks to the eldest prince's love, I am naturally willing."

Because of Mrs. De Rui's achievements, Emperor Zhou Ping specially ordered that Liu Pan'er can call herself me in front of the king, so in front of the eldest prince, it is of course okay for her to call herself me.

The eldest prince's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Derry agreed, "Thank you, Mrs. Derry."

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "You're welcome, eldest prince. I do have strengths in arithmetic and agriculture. It's a good thing that I can teach others and spread the word."

The eldest prince smiled and took out a book of new mathematics that he carried with him. "Madam, Ze has already learned these simple ones. Ze believes that Mrs. Derry has other more advanced arithmetic. Can she present it to his father for use?"

Promotion?”

Liu Pan'er waved her hand, "Just promote it. There is no need to present it to His Majesty. After all, His Majesty has given my family too many rewards. I don't dare to ask for any more rewards."

At this time, the Ninth Princess was not happy, "Sister Pan'er, you are just too cautious. My imperial brother is a man of great talent and strategy. The person who realized the great resurgence of the Great Zhou Dynasty has an open mind."

"The rewards given to you are indeed quite large, but the children in your family, except for Dabao, Ah Rong, Ah Nan, Xiao Bao, and Xiao Wei, aren't they all white?"

"If I can't reward you, why can't I reward these children? Even if you don't tell me, I will tell my brother."

Liu Pan'er was dumbfounded, "How can it still be like this? Isn't it too arrogant to have such a high status?"
