Wei and Jin cooks

Their mother is very rich. This is what Zhao Mingming and Fu Jingjing have known since they were young. However, money cannot be used arbitrarily. Even if it is your own money, you must spend it appropriately. This is also the education they have received since childhood.

So when they were a little older and began to allocate some properties from their parents to run their own businesses, an old man lamented, "Your Majesty was in a difficult situation back then. A piece of copper plate wanted to be broken into four parts. Fu Shangshu spent all night in order to make money for His Majesty. He doesn't sleep, and leads people to think about various things that can make money."

Zhao Mingming and Fu Jingjing both looked in disbelief, "Will my mother be short of money?"

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

The old people laughed and told the two young highnesses, "One year, in order to save some lamp oil, His Majesty asked someone to light a fire and process the official documents by light of the fire. As a result, the wind was strong at night and the flying sparks almost burned the official documents on the case. ”

"And it's not good for your eyes to read under the firelight. Now His Majesty has eye problems from time to time, which probably happened at that time." The old man smiled and said: "Your Highnesses were born in a good time, so they only saw the prosperity."

Fu was shocked and speechless, but Zhao Mingming thought of the Battle of Liaodong.

Liaodong is very poor, and there are many poor places along the way from Luoyang to Liaodong, places that she could not see at a glance.

Aniang said that just because she couldn’t see a place, it didn’t mean it didn’t exist.

Others can pretend they don't see it if they can't see it, but she can't, because she is the princess and she has a responsibility to this country.

Seeing it is her most basic responsibility!

Zhao Mingming asked: "Are there any people who can't afford lamp oil now?"

The old man smiled and said, "Of course there are, there are a lot of them."

Fu Jingjing: "Then they don't use electric lights?"

From the motors needed for radio stations to the mining and use of coal mines, steam technology developed rapidly, and Luoyang had electricity a few years ago.

But this is in Luoyang, and there is still little electricity in other places, and it is still under construction.

Fu Jingjing spent most of his study and life in Luoyang. He and his sister had different education methods. Everything he came into contact with was the most advanced and best. He could draw electrical diagrams and even independently design the power supply for a factory. system, but he couldn't start a fire with matches.

As for Zhao Mingming, she not only had to be able to stand next to her father and listen to him explain how the car's steam was produced and make the car move, but she also had to be able to stand in the court and understand the ministers' wits, and she also had to squat among a group of poor people. , and they used flint and steel to make a fire together, breaking up the dried cow dung with their hands and throwing it into the fire to keep warm...

So Zhao Mingming patted his younger brother on the head and said, "Wait until I take you to a place where there is no lamp oil. Even if you don't have to worry about these things, you can't learn from Emperor Hui who doesn't eat minced meat."

The people developed rapidly, Zhao Hanzhang's monarchy was profound, and the people were convinced, so the policies could be implemented among the people.

The combination of talent recruitment examinations and schools, coupled with the development of literacy campaigns, allows her to continuously draw talents from the private sector, so that policies can be spread to the grassroots through these talents.

The nine states of the world are functioning like her arms. Infrastructure construction is rapidly spreading, agriculture and handicrafts are developing rapidly, and the people's lives are much better than before.

At least the vast majority of people are satisfied.

But this comparison is with the most difficult time in the past. Zhao Mingming doesn't understand, why should we compare with the most difficult time?

"We should compare ourselves with happy people, or at least with average people. When everyone feels happy compared with average people, then we can be considered to have achieved political achievements, right?"

The old man smiled and said: "People's desires are hard to satisfy. How can Your Highness determine political achievements based on the happiness in people's hearts?"

"That's because you define the majority of the people with a small number of people," Zhao Mingming said: "Having clothes, food, shelter, and not being hungry or cold is the most basic thing. There are books to read, old people are old, young people are young. , this is the second level, and being able to reach this level is considered happiness.”

"My grandma said that as long as she can reach the first level in her life, she will be fine, and what I have to do is reach the second level."

The old man was excited when he heard that, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has reached the second level. It's true. Nowadays, private schools are widely established. Children who are over seven years old can attend school for five years. Every child will be able to read and write in the future." After all, I am already a young child."

Last year, the imperial court issued a new decree extending compulsory teaching from three years to five years.

Children who reach the age of seven are required to attend school for five years, and tuition and school fees are free of charge.

The old man felt that their great emperor had already reached the second level, but Zhao Mingming knew that it was far from enough.

She saw some data from her mother more than once. Her mother pointed at the data and said to her: "Behind each number is an individual. As long as there is a number, it means that there is still one person who cannot go to school or cannot go to school." It is wrong to learn how to make a living from the public affairs of the imperial court."

"And some people are not yet in the numbers."

His mother told Zhao Mingming that the relationship between the country and the people is like that between parents and children.

Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.

Teach them morals and the ability to make a living, and make them strong, healthy, long-lived and happy. This is the wish of parents in their lives, and it is also the wish of the country.

As the leader of the country, it is his duty to achieve his wishes.

So Zhao Mingming always knew what his responsibilities were.

At this moment, she made up her mind to avoid people. She and Fu Jing said, "When I go back, I will take the talent recruitment exam."

Fu Jing was stunned and asked, "You want to take the first prize?"

Zhao Mingming: "Although I want to, I know that I will definitely not be able to take the exam at my age. Moreover, if I take the exam with this face, the results will not be real."

Fu Jingjing: "You want to change your face to take the exam? How to change it?"

Of course Fu Jingjing would not doubt her sister's surgery, so her eyes immediately lit up and she asked whimsically, "Human skin mask?"

Zhao Mingming: "...you should read less miscellaneous books. That's a pigskin mask, but I don't need a mask. I just need to take the state exam, not the national exam."

As long as she was not in Luoyang and not many people knew Zhao Mingming, it would be easy for her to conceal her identity, not to mention her mother's help.

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang heard that she thought about grassroots experience, he immediately arranged it for her personally.

"Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, as well as Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, there are twenty-one states in the world. Take your pick. Which state do you want to go to?"

Zhao Mingming didn't expect her mother to be so resolute, so she was stunned for a moment before tentatively saying: "Yuzhou?"

"Oh, not in Yuzhou," Zhao Hanzhang looked at her face and said, "There are too many acquaintances in Yuzhou, you can't cover it up if you go there."

Zhao Mingming pointed at the map and said, "Let's just go to any place."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at it and smiled slightly, "Xuzhou, it's a great place, let's go."

Zhao Mingming became a student in a poor county under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou. She and her friends rushed to Xuzhou to participate in the state recruitment examination.
