It was very rare for Zhen'er to take the initiative to act coquettishly and cutely. Every time at this time, he would deliberately delay for some time, enjoy his wife's sweet words and coquettishness, and then very skillfully solve her doubts before her patience ran out.
"The Zhao family's wealth previously seized by the Yamen has been clarified. Most of it will be donated to the national treasury as a birthday gift. The remaining money has not yet been arranged and can be used to build a women's academy for you."
Ye Zhenzhen was very moved after hearing this. If the money for its establishment came from the Yamen, then the academy would be able to have a legitimate reputation. Although her name was very resounding, it was still not as good as the current Yamen.
But she still has some worries.
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Ye Zhenzhen's bright eyes were full of worry: "After all, this money belongs to the government, whether it is dredging rivers, maintaining city walls, repairing equipment, or building roads, etc.
, money is needed everywhere, but now it is spent to build my academy, I am afraid it will attract some gossip."
"Promoting culture and teaching is one of the responsibilities of the prefect. It's just that the women's academy is a little special, so it's not a big deal."
Not only is it special, this approach is simply deviant. Although we do not currently advocate that it is virtue for women to have no talent, there is a market for books such as "Women's Precepts" and "Women's Training". The current requirements for women are based on morality.
There is no requirement for Rong Yan Gong as for knowledge.
If a women's academy is built, Cui Weizhen may have to suffer some anger and attacks again.
However, as the saying goes, if you have too many debts, you won’t have to worry; if you have too many lice, you won’t be itchy. Cui Weizhen has long been criticized to the point of being invulnerable, and naturally he will not care about possible impeachment and discordant remarks.
.
The ideas of those old men are not as important as making Zhen'er happy.
So he talked about it lightly and slowly dispelled her worries: "As for the money you mentioned, there is no need to worry. The money sponsored by the merchants and squires before was enough to support the cost of dredging the river. The government originally used it here.
The budget can be allocated to other projects, not to mention that the cultural square generates revenue for the government every month, which is a lot of revenue."
As he spoke, there was a smile in his eyes, and he looked at her half teasingly and half encouragingly: "When it comes to your level of support, Zhen'er, you are not bad. I don't know how many officials in the government obey your orders.
, especially Li Hushu, it may be difficult for others to ask him to transfer money. If it were you, Zhen'er, he would probably transfer money to you without blinking an eye."
This kind of treatment is extraordinary. You must know that Zhao Gongshu quarreled with Li Hushu every day over money.
Ye Zhenzhen felt a little happy, but also a little embarrassed, and repeatedly confirmed with him: "Is it really okay? I won't embarrass you, right?"
"Of course not, don't worry."
Cui Weizhen rubbed her forehead and said: "It's just a first try at the moment. The academy doesn't need to be too big. Just pick some old houses and repair them. It won't cost too much money. But you have to put some thought into it and think about it carefully.
What subjects should be added, where should we hire female teachers...this is much more difficult than spending money."
This is a big problem.
Ye Zhenzhen's little worries immediately disappeared, and as her attention was diverted, she frowned and became entangled.
