The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of taxes, land, population, household registration, military supplies, and salaries—basically everything related to money.

Ye Jingyu has the Ji family, the most powerful family in the world, as his maternal lineage. Among all the princes and princesses, the Ji family is the wealthiest. Money is like dirt to him. He is perfectly suited to work in the Ministry of Revenue. There is no need to worry about him embezzling funds. Moreover, his status may make many people open doors for him.

"Great! I love the Ministry of Revenue!" Ye Jingyu cheered.

"Your Highness, may I go to the Ministry of Rites?" Ye Jingyu asked expectantly.

"Of course you can, but can you tell me why you want to go to the Ministry of Rites?" Ye Jingchen asked him.

"The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be! I want to try and see if everyone in Dayuan knows and abides by etiquette, and if there will be no more conflicts and disputes." Ye Jingyu answered seriously.

"Educating the masses is no easy task, so Jingyu will have to work even harder in the future," Ye Jingchen said, patting his head.

"I will try my best!" Little Curly King said firmly, then glanced at Ye Jinghe.

"Jinghe, what do you want to do in the future?" Ye Jingchen asked with a smile.

"I'll do whatever you want me to do, brother!" Ye Jinghe said, giving Ye Jingchen a sweet smile.

Ye Jingyu rolled his eyes in a very inelegant manner after hearing this.

"He's a master of flattery!" he thought to himself.

"I hope Jinghe can do what he likes in the future!" Ye Jingchen patted his head.

"Then I hope I can protect my brother in the future! Wherever my brother goes, I will go, and I will always follow my brother!" Ye Jinghe held Ye Jingchen's other hand and smiled very happily.

When Ye Jingshu saw this scene, she got goosebumps.

"Alright, let's put aside our brotherly affection for now. We've strayed a bit from the topic. Let's first discuss how to demonstrate the value of women after they've received education—well, what you mean by social and financial value, my brother!" Ye Jingshu asked.

Because what she was going to do was too difficult in this era, Ye Jingchen instilled many values ​​in her.

To some extent, the embodiment of values ​​is the embodiment of interests.

She founded the girls' college in the hope that women in Dae Yeon would have more choices in life and could live more freely and wonderfully.

This is a manifestation of self-worth.

However, before realizing their self-worth, they need social acceptance and family support. Therefore, it is necessary to first demonstrate the social and financial value of women after they have received an education, so that more people will be willing to let their daughters study.

To put it bluntly, only by demonstrating sufficient benefits can a matter gain the recognition and support of the majority of people!

Ye Jingchen had long known that Ye Jingshu would encounter these problems, and had already thought of ways to deal with them, just waiting for Ye Jingshu to realize it herself.

"When the time is right, Your Highness might as well lead the students of Fengming Academy to compete in a tournament at a more famous academy in the capital. This will not only bring fame to Fengming Academy and its students, but also let all the people of the capital understand that if they start on the same footing, women are no less capable than men!" Ye Jingchen said with a smile.

Ye Jingchen's reminder gave Ye Jingshu a sudden sense of enlightenment.

Since Ye Jingyu can serve as a role model in the court, Fengming Academy can surely cultivate a few role models in the field!

“Since there are role models and exemplars in the imperial court, there should naturally be some in the common people as well. If people can admire romantic and talented men, why can’t they admire talented men who can sweep their eyebrows?” Ye Jingshu said proudly.

"That's exactly right! My elder sister can create a few rising stars and let them become the guiding stars for the women of Dayuan, so that their brilliance can illuminate the whole land."

Ye Jingshu looked up at the dim sky. Although night had not yet completely fallen, the starlight of the morning star could already be faintly seen in the sky.

In the darkness of night, the brightest star in the sky, the morning star, can indeed guide people!

The light of fireflies may not be able to rival the brilliance of the moon, but the Milky Way formed by the gathering of stars can make even the moonlight pale in comparison!

"I, the princess, will devise a star-making plan to create several of the most dazzling new stars, making them the focus of everyone in the capital!" Ye Jingshu said confidently.

"Your Majesty, we cannot rush this matter. There are countless exceptionally talented students in Dayuan. Some of them have worked harder than the students of Fengming Academy by more than ten or twenty years! While there are many people in this world who seek fame and fortune, there are also quite a few who possess genuine talent and learning. We cannot underestimate anyone. We need to be fully prepared and have absolute certainty before we can challenge those academies. Moreover, we must win the first battle, and win it decisively, so as to bring enough shock to the people of the capital!" Ye Jingchen reminded him.

Ye Jingshu rolled her eyes at Ye Jingchen. "You're overthinking it. While I have confidence in my students, I'm not so arrogant as to think they can outperform those who have studied diligently for over a decade just because they've only studied for a year or two!"

"Moreover, if it's a competition of poetry and prose, unless one of my students has exceptional talent, they won't have an advantage at all. If we really have to compete, I'll only let them compete in current affairs and policy discussions, which is what they excel at!"

After Ye Jingshu left the palace and established her own residence, although she only invited women to the banquets held at the princess's residence, she also attended many gatherings of students from the capital city and read many current affairs and policy discussions written by students who were somewhat famous in the capital city. She didn't know until she saw them that there was a difference between ordinary students and those from the Wenhua Hall.

Let's put it this way: Ye Jing'an, who is only nine years old, has written more insightful policy essays than those that Ye Jingshu has read and which are praised by the students.

From the very beginning, the students of Fengming Academy were taught according to the teaching methods of Wenhua Hall.

“Creating a star is not something that can be done overnight. To make a name for oneself, it will take at least three years. In these three years, I can discover some jobs suitable for women, so that the people of the capital can see the benefits of women’s education. This way, my academy can attract more students.” Ye Jingshu said, already having many ideas in mind, just waiting to be implemented.

Seeing that she already had a plan, Ye Jingchen stopped talking.

We're almost at Chengqian Palace.

Their discussion on the road was relayed to the emperor by the Eastern Palace Guards, including the whispered conversation between Ye Jingchen and Ye Jingming.

He didn't care about his kids' aspirations for the future, but what Ye Jingchen and Ye Jingming said really bothered him.

He didn't think Ye Jingchen, a fifteen-year-old, would understand those things. He thought Ye Jingchen was just a late bloomer and felt embarrassed, so he deliberately fooled Ye Jingming.

It seems he needs to find someone to properly teach Ye Jingming a lesson, lest he be easily fooled by his imperial brother.

For the royal family, offspring have always been of paramount importance. If all the princes were to listen to Ye Jingchen and wait until they turned eighteen to marry—

The emperor thought about the pressure he might face and felt like he was going to collapse!
