Transmigrated to a Famine Year, I Led the Whole Village to Seize Territory

Jiang Qinyu transmigrated and suddenly had a son and a daughter. Although they weren't her biological children, it wasn't a big problem.

Most importantly, she didn't have a husban...

Chapter 338 The Imperial Court Panicked

Every parent will unconsciously consider their children's needs. Although Shufan and Pan'er are not Jiang Qinyu's biological children, they have been by her side for the past two years, helping her adapt to this world. She has unknowingly started treating the two children as her own.

"By the way, have you inquired about the matter we mentioned before, about sending Shufan and Pan'er to Qin Daru's Chengzhang Academy?" Jiang Qinyu suddenly remembered this matter.

Shufan and Pan'er had never attended school before, but they would be staying in Qinzhou for at least six months. She was very busy and not a teacher, so she thought of sending them to an academy.

The largest and best academy in Qinzhou was Chengzhang Academy, founded by the great scholar Qin. It accepted children from three years old to twenty-year-old scholars, and taught them in classes according to their age and academic level.

When Jiang Qinyu asked, Yunzhu slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "Look at my brain! I actually forgot such an important thing!"

After saying that, Yunzhu added with a hint of anger, "I personally inquired about this matter, and everything else is pretty much the same as the rumors, except for one thing that's infuriating."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Qinyu raised an eyebrow.

For Yunzhu to be so angry, it must be something serious, right?

Yunzhu said, "This Chengzhang Academy doesn't accept female students!"

"You're angry about this?" Jiang Qinyu looked at her amusedly. "There aren't any academies in the entire Great Yue that admit women, are there?"

Yunzhu retorted, unconvinced, "Why not? The academy that the border general ordered to be established should be accepted!"

"The general ran an academy in the border town?" Jiang Qinyu looked at her in surprise.

Yunzhu nodded and asked in confusion, "Madam, don't you know? Right after you led everyone to plant sweet potatoes, the general had a school opened. With just a small fee, you can send your children there."

Jiang Qinyu really didn't know about this. Maybe Lu Yanzheng didn't think it was anything important, so he didn't tell her?

“Chengzhang Academy does not accept female students…” Jiang Qinyu pondered.

Speaking of this, Yunzhu gets angry. "Don't the gentlemen always say they treat everyone equally? Why do they only accept men and not women? Where would the men come from if there were no women?"

She couldn't stand those people who acted as if women were inferior to men.

Seeing Yunzhu's anger, Jiang Qinyu felt both amused and helpless. However, since Chengzhang Academy did not accept girls, she would definitely not let the children go there to study.

The preference for sons over daughters is a common phenomenon in this era, and she is powerless to change it at this time, but she can ensure that Pan'er can study in a relatively fair environment.

"Go and fetch Amber, I have something to ask her," Jiang Qinyu said after thinking for a moment.

Yunzhu quickly called Amber over, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Qinyu.

The lady is definitely going to do something big again!

Jiang Qinyu didn't notice her emotional change, and only looked at Amber to ask, "What ledgers have we compiled so far? How many are still not registered?"

Amber has a unique characteristic that others don't: she is extremely sensitive to numbers. She can remember anything she has seen or heard, so Jiang Qinyu asked Amber to help manage the accounts.

“I’ve already made a list of the specifics and I’m planning to double-check it tonight so that Madam can review it tomorrow. As for the items that weren’t included in the list, they are Master Lu’s southern suburban warehouse and several granaries in the west. All the cash and other cash have been recorded in the accounts and put into storage,” Amber said earnestly.

Jiang Qinyu nodded, "Let's not wait until tomorrow, give it to me now."

She needs to check how much available cash is in the account before deciding what to do next.

Upon hearing this, Amber quickly went downstairs and brought over all the account books.

Yunzhu helped organize and check the documents, and after checking each one, she would show it to Jiang Qinyu.

Jiang Qinyu also put her mind at ease and began to carefully examine the account books.

The three of them were busy until late at night, and it was only when the kitchen sent over a late-night snack that they were pulled out of their work mode.

"Amber did a good job, there are no problems with any of these. It's too late today, so you should eat something and go back to rest. We can talk about other things tomorrow," Jiang Qinyu said while eating her late-night snack.

Yunzhu and Hupo quickly finished eating and left, taking the mess off the table with them.

Jiang Qinyu quickly washed up and collapsed onto the bed.

I'm so tired, so incredibly tired!

But there was no other way; she had very few people she could use or trust, and she couldn't delegate many things to others; she had to do them all herself.

Jiang Qinyu turned over, closed her eyes, and opened the system warehouse.

Almost all of her wealth was here, including the banknotes and valuable jewelry that Lu Yanzheng had given her.

After a quick calculation, she realized that she currently had over three thousand taels of silver at her disposal.

Three thousand taels... that's definitely not enough to open an academy, but it should be more than enough to open a primary school, right?

No, this is definitely outside her area of ​​knowledge; she needs to find someone to inquire about it.

In fact, Jiang Qinyu didn't need to open any school or academy; she could have just hired a good tutor to teach Shufan and Pan'er at home.

However, having experienced modern school life, Jiang Qinyu knows that children still need to learn in a large environment from a young age so that they can grow up faster and adapt to society better when they grow up.

This matter can't be rushed; we need to consider it further.

Jiang Qinyu fell asleep from exhaustion after thinking about it for a while.

At the same time, the imperial court also received news that Lu Yanzheng had occupied Qiongzhou and released Prince Yong.

"Absurd!" Emperor Jingqing flicked his wide sleeves. "What is Lu Yanzheng good for? Why did he let Prince Yong go? Doesn't he know that if he pursued him and was attacked from both sides by the court, Prince Yong would surely be defeated?"

The one kneeling in the Golden Palace to reply was the Vice Minister of War. Upon hearing Emperor Jingqing's words, he spoke with even greater fear, "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is not that Lu Yanzheng has not joined forces with the court to attack Prince Yong, but that he has refused to obey the court's orders!"

A few days ago, the emperor ordered the Vice Minister of War to lead a group to Qiongzhou to meet Lu Yanzheng. However, when they rushed there, they didn't even get to see Lu Yanzheng.

It was only then that they learned that Lu Yanzheng had not sent anyone to pursue Prince Yong!

The imperial court had long been prepared to join forces with Lu Yanzheng to attack Prince Yong, but unexpectedly, Lu Yanzheng let Prince Yong go, completely ignoring the imperial court's decree!

This time it was even worse; Lu Yanzheng only sent a deputy general to deal with him, without even accepting the imperial edict, let alone handing it over to him.

"What did you say?" Emperor Jingqing paused, looking at the Vice Minister of War with a horrified expression. "Lu Yanzheng disobeyed the imperial decree? He didn't hand over the relevant matters of Qiongzhou to you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Lu Yanzheng is plotting a rebellion!" The Vice Minister of War felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled the situation he had witnessed with the border troops.

Compared to the imperial army, the border troops were terrifying just by standing there. How could they possibly fight against such people?
