Fang Zhengyi hurriedly shook his head: "No, no! He is the emperor's grandson, how can we easily send him out of the palace for education?"
This is not a matter for just one person. By that time, the entire court will be outraged and he really won't be able to bear it.
Li Yuanzhao said bitterly: "Can you think of a solution?"
"I...to be honest, I don't have any good ideas. Why don't you go and ask His Majesty first?" Fang Zhengyi said helplessly.
He has money, connections and plenty of free time, so it doesn't matter to him to take care of another child, but this is no joke.
Besides the opinions in the court, what if someone dislikes him and tries to trip him up? Even if the emperor's grandson has diarrhea, he will be in big trouble.
Seeing that Li Yuanzhao was about to ask more questions, Fang Zhengyi quickly changed the subject and said, "Your Highness must have asked me to come here for something else. Has anything happened in the capital recently?"
Seeing that Fang Zhengyi was unwilling to continue sighing, Li Yuanzhao sighed, "It is indeed a big thing. During the time when you and your father were away, some changes happened to the Jinyiwei, and your original arrangements in Beijing have been disrupted."
Fang Zheng frowned: "How was it deployed?"
Li Yuanzhao said, "Since Tao Hui temporarily took over your position, he has been making drastic improvements. The Jinyiwei has changed from open inspections to secret inspections, and no longer advertises in the market, and has also added a lot of manpower."
"The key issue is... they are now secretly searching for information about the minister. The content is all-encompassing and extremely detailed. They almost want to find out what was said during every meal."
Fang Zheng's heart tightened.
Is this the inertia of history?
The new official's actions are so radical...
The Jinyiwei in history may look glamorous in movies and TV shows, but they were actually notorious.
According to his guess, part of the reason was due to the early institutional design and was related to the emperor's direct command.
On the other hand, because of the use of extreme means, once people do not set limits on their behavior, they will quickly degenerate.
For a large organization like the Jinyiwei, corruption occurs even faster.
In his impression, the Jinyiwei had completely fallen into depravity in the late Ming Dynasty, with poor external combat effectiveness and full firepower internally.
Their hands were stretched very long, the people were full of complaints, and they played countless tricks on these two old brothers from the East Factory.
Since he took office, he has tried his best to redefine the code of conduct for the Jinyiwei. Who would have thought that he would go back to the old ways?
"Is this your Majesty's instruction, or is this Tao Hui's personal action?"
Li Yuanzhao shook his head: "I don't know Tao Hui, but it's unlikely that my father would do such a thing. He's busy enough all day long, so how could he have the leisure to look at such messes? Besides, if he wanted to do it, he would have done it long ago."
"But...the emperor once said that he wanted you to return to the court to serve as an official. Do you think he might have done this on purpose?"
Fang Zhengyi fell into deep thought.
It's not impossible. Li Yuanzhao had mentioned to him before that His Majesty intended to re-appoint him.
But is this really the work of His Majesty... Not sure.
It is more likely that it was Tao Hui's personal wish. After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers, and it is normal for a new official to have his own ideas when he takes office.
His method of managing the Jinyiwei still utilized many methods from the entertainment industry.
There are also many people who look down on it and think that getting too close to the people is not a good thing.
Never mind. He can’t interfere anyway. So it doesn’t matter!
"Love is yours, I cannot interfere. Is there anything else?"
When he asked this, Li Yuanzhao seemed to remember something interesting and said with a smile: "Yes, during the few days you were away, the Kingdom of Jin sent a group of slaves to raise livestock."
"The whole city watched when someone came that day, and the people came to watch the excitement... I remember that a long time ago, the common people were somewhat afraid of the Jin people, but now it has changed."
"Not only are the people bold, but many are even calling for more Jin women to come over, saying that if they can't get enough food over there, we can feed them. The people are very excited."
Fang Zhengyi's smile gradually faded: "Are there really many people saying that?"
"Of course, the newspaper also published it."
"Then why didn't you stop him?" Fang Zheng was furious.
"Why stop him? People are just like this. What's the big deal? What's the big deal? Besides, the Mid-Levels Newspaper has reported a lot about the people's sentiments. What's the big deal?"
"Just to vent your anger? It won't be just to vent your anger once it's in the newspapers. Our border trade with Jin has been restored. If this kind of news gets out, what will the Jin people think? The people of Jin are resentful. It won't be unfair for our merchants in Jin to be dragged into the underworld and slaughtered."
Fang Zhengyi said earnestly, "This is a despicable thing, Your Highness. People should have integrity. Jin is a defeated country, but we should at least give it some respect. Is there any benefit from just talking big?"
Li Yuanzhao didn't care and shrugged: "What if it's already been sent?"
"Come on, take your time washing it later. I'll write a letter back to Paba to explain it first."
Li Yuanzhao sneered, "You look like we've been defeated."
"We are a country of etiquette, so etiquette cannot be lost. Besides, if we make things clear, we can avoid a lot of trouble in the future." Fang Zhengyi sighed, "The war is over, why are we still creating hatred? We should educate the people. Although we do have conflicts with the Jin Kingdom, we should at least behave like human beings and talk about our positions. We can't just say whatever we want. The Jin people are also human beings..."
Listening to Fang Zheng's endless chatter, Li Yuanzhao forced a smile and said, "I see, but you mentioned education. When are you going to open the kindergarten?"
As for when it will open, Fang Zhengyi hasn't really decided yet.
At least wait until he compiles the teaching materials.
Teaching materials are easy to get, as there are many unnecessary things in his mind, so it’s not a big problem to just compile a few storybooks.
Find another troupe to perform some real-life cartoons... Is it reasonable for children to have no cartoons to watch in their childhood? ?
Another option is to find someone to customize some entertainment facilities.
Things like slides, climbing nets, swings, and twisting cars. In short, all the equipment he had seen in kindergarten in his previous life was taken away from him.
We have to let Chenyu have fun. There is no rush to study now. Having fun is the most important thing in life.
Finally, it’s about food. This child’s food cannot be neglected and we must provide the best.
We need to find someone to research this matter and customize the recipe.
"I haven't decided on a specific date yet. I need to prepare. No one wants to enroll now. My family only has my son and Zhang Biao's son. Once I build the school, I will bring a group of people to visit the school to facilitate enrollment."
"Your Highness, I need your help with something. Please keep an eye out for any pregnant cows. I'll take as many as you can get."
Li Yuanzhao asked in confusion: "What do you want a pregnant cow for?"
"Drink milk! One pound of milk a day will make Jingguo baby strong!"
