"Yes, ever since His Majesty took over the Marquis's residence, our lives have been getting better day by day. Now that His Majesty is in charge of the entire Han Dynasty, I believe that under His Majesty's leadership, our lives and those of the surrounding neighbors will definitely get better and better!"
Thinking about the changes in his own family and those around him over the years, Zhang Ping couldn't help but sigh.
"Hehe~, you're right, He'er and his group of kids are lucky!"
Seeing his son Zhang He eating with gusto, Zhang Ping's father's eyes were filled with love and satisfaction.
During the meal, the old father suddenly asked, "By the way, I heard that the Marquis's mansion is planning to open a school next year?"
“That’s right. I heard from Uncle Fu that any child over five years old can go to school, and the tuition fee is only one hundred coins per year.”
One hundred coins isn't much, and our family can afford it, so we plan to send our son to school next year!
Furthermore, Uncle Fu said that if these children succeed in their studies, they can enter His Majesty's three academies or even the Imperial Guard! Then they will truly stand out from the crowd and bring honor to their ancestors!
As he spoke, Zhang Ping looked expectantly at Xiao Zhang He, who was eating meat with gusto.
"The Imperial Guard? If I join the Imperial Guard, will I be able to become a member of the Imperial Guards by the Emperor's side, just like my cousin?"
Upon hearing Zhang Ping's last words, Xiao Zhanghe, who had been engrossed in eating meat, couldn't help but raise his head and look at his father with longing.
Zhang Ping smiled and nodded, "That's right. We, the sons of Hejian, will all become His Majesty's personal guards when we grow up. He'er, you must study hard and learn your skills so that you can protect and assist His Majesty, understand?"
"Yes, I understand! I will definitely learn my skills well, so that with me around in the future, no one can harm His Majesty!"
Although Xiao Zhanghe's voice was still immature, it was filled with determination.
"Haha~, well done, you truly are my son!"
Xiao Zhanghe's words made Zhang Ping burst into laughter, and for a moment the whole small house was filled with laughter.
Whether in Hejian, Luoyang, or other places, cases like Zhang He's are countless.
Countless families who enjoyed the emperor's favor not only appreciated his kindness but also educated their children and grandchildren.
