"Yongqing has a foolish opinion, but I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Ye Wanwan said loudly, turning her gaze to Rong Chen.
It had been a while since anyone had confronted these old stubborn people. Rong Chen was overjoyed, with a smile in his eyes. "Yongqing, just say what you want to say."
When the old man with white beard heard this, he felt very unwilling. Others said these polite words just to speak their mind, but he said that it was stupid and he should just shut up. This bias was too obvious.
"Yongqing thinks we can start with an experimental class. If it is effective, Yongqing will continue to be in charge of the palace school. If it is not effective, then we will do as you all say." Knowing that change has always been difficult, Ye Wanwan chose to take a step back without hesitation.
People are like that. If they first say they want to tear down the roof, then it will be much easier to ask for opening a window.
As Ye Wanwan expected, when she said this again, the original voices of opposition were much less. There was nothing she could do, as that person was still watching.
Now that Princess Yongqing has voluntarily taken a step back, if they continue to insist, it will be their fault.
"Then what is the meaning of this experimental class? Who should be the candidates?" The white-bearded old man was still firm. He didn't believe that this girl could really come up with anything.
Ye Wanwan already had an idea and continued, "The experimental class will first select a group of people to be managed by me. As for the candidates, all the children of officials of appropriate age must register, and then I will randomly select ten people."
"Are women included as well?" Someone who figured out Ye Wanwan's meaning immediately asked.
Ye Wanwan nodded, "That's right. Your Majesty will have to send someone to take care of this matter."
"I request to be in charge of this matter. When Princess Yongqing leads the experimental class, I am willing to learn from the side." The white-bearded old man volunteered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
But Ye Wanwan didn't care. She would know whether it was a mule or a horse after taking it out for a walk. She had no problem dealing with a group of little brats.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir. Yongqing has a school in his hometown, so please be prepared for the long journey." Ye Wanwan gave a heads-up in advance. She had discussed all this with Rong Chen. Compared with Linjia Village, the limitations of the capital are still too obvious.
The capital is too complicated, and Linjia Village is more suitable for her to display her talents. In addition, the establishment of the Darong Charity School requires the writing of a specific charter for implementation. There is still a long way to go.
The white-bearded old man was stunned for a moment, then muttered, "I hope you can really come up with something special."
"Then... let's wait and see!" Ye Wanwan said with a smile, unmoved.
Rong Chen coughed lightly, feeling very relieved. "Then I'll leave this matter to you two. I hope you can restore order to the palace."
"I obey your order." The white-bearded old man looked at Ye Wanwan reluctantly.
But now the white-bearded old man, who was full of anger and secretly vowed to give Ye Wanwan a good time, quietly changed his mind one day later... In fact, this girl is really pretty good!
Within a few days, the candidate chosen by Ye Wanwan was announced. Almost no one was happy and everyone was worried, but they were all forced to obey the emperor's order.
The palace examination would be held in a few days. Ye Wanwan had arranged everything for Regeneration Flower and was just waiting for the results to come out before returning to the village with Lin Xu'an.
"After all, this can be considered a glorious return home, Shushu, are you really not going back with me?" Ye Wanwan patiently selected the gifts to take back and asked Shu Jin beside her.
Shu Jin's hand trembled as she held the silk. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to speak it out loud. She was completely entangled. In the end, she only said, "Wanwan, do you think he will want me to go back?"
"Shushu, wherever I am is your home. It doesn't matter whether others think so or not." Ye Wanwan paused and said seriously.
The word "love" has always been hurtful and unsolvable. She can't say anything else, but wherever she is, that is Shushu's home.
Shu Jin nodded, her smile bitter. "Can you tell me to try one last time? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"Shushu, what are you thinking about?" Ye Wanwan shook her head firmly and took Shu Jin's hand. "Shushu, giving for love is a human gift!"
"But people can't live in the past. Let's try harder. If Master Sui Xin is still unwilling, I will introduce you to a perfect husband, okay?" Ye Wanwan held Shu Jin's hand and smiled slightly.
Shu Jin chuckled, "Okay, then I'll trouble Wanwan."
"It's no trouble, no trouble." Ye Wanwan's hands were not idle while she spoke, and she picked some fabrics of each color.
The palace examination came as scheduled. The ten people who passed the layers of selection stood in front of Rong Chen and began to face this final exam.
However, at this moment, Rong Chen, as the emperor, felt a little depressed. Among these ten people, he only knew Lin Xu'an. The palace school used the best people in every aspect, but none of them could enter the palace examination. Is this reasonable?
But what if it's unreasonable? We have to compromise in the face of facts.
Rong Chen cast aside his distracting thoughts and, while surveying everyone, asked the question he had prepared, "What is the yield per mu of each of the five grains?"
This question was inspired by Ye Wanwan's words. These were the first batch of new officials he selected after he ascended the throne. He wanted them to climb up step by step, steadily and steadily, focusing on people's livelihood.
As soon as Rong Chen finished speaking, people gave their answers one after another. What surprised and delighted Rong Chen was that eight out of ten people answered the question correctly, and the remaining two also had a good attitude, pretending not to know.
Since it was also Rong Chen's first time, the atmosphere of the palace examination was particularly harmonious. People came and went, and people admitted what they knew and didn't know. They talked about the affairs of the world and, in the case of leap years, the people of the world.
"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. The spring breeze is blowing and the horse's hooves are galloping. I will see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day." Rong Chen patted Lin Xu'an's shoulder, not hiding his high hopes.
He had to admit that both of these couple were his benefactors. He believed that in the future in the court, Lin Xu'an would definitely become his right-hand man!
Lin Xu'an mounted the prepared tall horse, looking like the number one scholar with high spirits. The second and third place scholars following behind him were also like this, full of vigor and vitality.
The designated routes are already crowded with people, and the roadside teahouses are even more overcrowded. The prices of private rooms are also being driven up again and again, and the merchants are making a lot of money.
"Brother, do you think he will be the top scholar?" In a teahouse, Li Wanting was leaning against the window, feeling a little nervous. If Lin Xu'an was really the top scholar, no one would stop them from being together.
