With the blessing of Yizhi's commendation, Guose Women's Club became an instant hit and became a hot topic in Beijing. Customers flocked to the store every day, and the beauty and beauty area on the second floor was even more popular. Because there were so many customers,
Finally, you must make a reservation to enjoy the service.
Under such circumstances, it was imperative to open a branch. Fortunately, there was a shop given by the Queen, and it was located in a good area of the West Market. Ye Zhenzhen asked the craftsmen to decorate it the next day. This was her first experience.
The construction this time was much simpler.
Ye Zhenzhen's business was booming, she was making money every day, and she could wake up from her dreams with a smile every day. Compared with her, Cui Weizhen became even busier.
Regarding the preparation of the academy, the King of Wei wrote a note and formally raised it in the court meeting. The emperor asked him to take over the errand, and also asked Cui Weizhen to assist.
This order is a bit confusing. To build the academy, the Ministry of Household Affairs does need money, but Cui Weizhen belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is in charge of household registration and land. The money must be withdrawn from the Ministry of Finance. What's the point of asking Cui Weizhen to assist?
The monks, who were two years old, were confused, but they had to say that this appointment still made them relieved. Previously, they were worried that the emperor would ask Cui Weizhen to check the tenants, but looking at the current situation, it should be a hammer in the east and a stick in the west.
They had a false alarm.
It was precisely because of this consideration that even though Cui Weizhen was relatively junior and not qualified to co-organize the academy, after the emperor accepted his fate, no one among the courtiers raised any objection.
Even the old foxes in the court were deceived, let alone Ye Zhenzhen, a government idiot. On the day she was appointed, she curiously asked Cui Weizhen: "Doesn't your Majesty intend to let you reform?"
Cui Weizhen was looking at the map of the capital city to select the location for the academy. Hearing this, he glanced at Ye Zhenzhen. His eyes seemed to be pity, contempt and ridicule, full of doubts and affection for her intelligence.
Ye Zhenzhen immediately became angry, pinched his waist and turned around, asking fiercely: "What do you mean?"
Cui Weizhen was in pain and his face tightened: "When did you learn to pinch people?"
His waist was lean and had no fat. Ye Zhenzhen tried to find any soft flesh to pinch but there was none, so when she did it, she pinched only a layer of skin, not to mention how painful it was.
I've never seen her violent before? Now it's the beginning of domestic violence. Will it happen again in the future?
Ye Zhenzhen felt a little guilty, because she learned the pinching action from the story book today, so she couldn't help but try it, and now it seems that the effect is pretty good.
It is indeed the first choice for flirting between men and women.
When Cui Weizhen saw that she didn't regret it and looked so proud, he didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. In the end, he could only reprimand her loudly and loudly: "Don't do anything again next time, or you will be punished for copying "The Rhythm of Poetry"
Ten times.”
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
The food chain was suddenly turned upside down. Ye Zhenzhen immediately shrank and said feebly: "You are cruel."
Why couldn't she think of letting him become her husband in the first place? Not to mention that she was a head shorter than him, and she was looked down upon for her IQ from time to time. It was really miserable.
Cui Weizhen knew well the principle of giving a sweet date a slap in the face. When he saw that her arrogance had subsided, he asked like a master preaching and teaching: "Let me ask you, after the academy is built, what will be the biggest
Who are the beneficiaries?”
King of Wei?
No, he is the best scholar in the world!
With the academy, they are no longer limited by family status and uneven resources, and have more channels to study. Those who provide them with all this, such as King Wei and Cui Weizhen, will be grateful and respected by them.
This is a great opportunity to capture the hearts and minds of students all over the world!
Seeing that she had figured it out, Cui Weizhen nodded with satisfaction, and she was considered a teachable child.
He continued to ask: "If there is a reform of 'dividing a child into a farmer', who will be offended the most?"
"Aristocratic family?"
Ye Zhenzhen answered uncertainly, always feeling that the question was not that simple, so she added: "It must be the aristocratic family and the noble family, they have the most tenants and fields."
"Wrong, it's a scholar."
Cui Weizhen directly rejected her answer and explained her doubts: "The aristocratic family has become a thing of the past. If the court wants to suppress the aristocratic family, it will not be a concern in the future; the nobles and their like are the heroes and powerful people, and everything has to rely on the royal grace, let alone them."
There is room for defense. The biggest difficulty in the field reform is those scholars who have not yet entered the court as officials and those who have already entered the court as officials. These talents are the foundation of the imperial court, and they cannot be easily offended."
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't understand it at first, but when Cui Weizhen mentioned Yejiacun, she suddenly understood.
Why do scholars these days want to obtain fame and become officials in the court? It’s just for the sake of rights. Starting from the time when they passed the examination to become scholars, the court promised benefits to scholars. Not only could they be exempted from corvee, but they could also receive monthly subsidies from the government, etc.
If you pass the Juren exam, it is even more extraordinary. The fields in your name will be exempted from taxes.
Just like Cui Weizhen, the whole village celebrated after he passed the examination, not only because there was a big shot in the village, but also because the fields under his name were exempted from taxes.
At first, in order to fight for the limited quota, the number of villagers in Yejia Village almost grew. As Cui Weizhen's official position got higher, the number of exemptions increased. By the time he became a high-ranking official, with vast hectares of fertile land and huge wealth, it was no problem.
Cui Weizhen's situation is a microcosm of the scholars in the world. People try their best to gain fame in order to become a master. Not only can the population tax be manipulated, but the land tax can also be waived. In this way, the huge benefits can be taken back at any time.
, it’s strange that they are willing to comply.
The verbal and written criticism of scholars is very terrifying. Anyone who offends them will be scolded by historians and unofficial historians. There are many loyal ministers who are rumored to be traitors. Just think, who wants to be famous behind his back?
However, Cui Weizhen's reform cause is destined to offend this group of people. If he establishes an academy for them now and has a good relationship with him, he may not be severely resisted in the future.
Scholars also want to save face. They cannot pick up the bowl to eat and then put the bowl down to scold their mother.
The emperor was building momentum in advance for Cui Weizhen's future reforms.
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly realized that the twists and turns involved were really nerve-wracking.
She reluctantly admitted her lack of IQ: "You take one step and think ten steps like this. Don't you feel your head hurts on weekdays?"
Cui Weizhen was full of the confidence and calmness of a top student: "Why bother thinking about strategies that come to you on the second thought?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
You are awesome, you are awesome, I have nothing to say.
Seeing that she looked badly beaten, Cui Weizhen finally couldn't help but laugh, stretched out his hand to rub her head, and what he said was particularly irritating: "You are not this material, so stop thinking blindly, be good.
.”
good?
I'll be good to you, you big-headed ghost!
Ye Zhenzhen became angry from embarrassment and bit down on his chin. Clear teeth marks immediately appeared on his fair skin, and she finally felt bad in her heart.
Knowing that she would be angry, but still deliberately provoking her, this person really deserves to be beaten more and more.
