Everyone looked at each other.
That is to say, they only need to produce grain in the first year, and in the second year, they can use oxen to expand production, and use the extra grain to buy horses, cattle and sheep...
Then the cycle continues indefinitely...
Isn't this a huge win?
Song Jinxiu said again: "Your Majesty, we have a lot of wasteland in Cangwu. It's because of the cattle. Your Majesty should encourage the people to open up wasteland.
For example, reclaimed land is exempt from tax for three years, and for those who cannot afford to buy oxen, the government can issue small loans to help farmers.
It means lending them money to buy cattle, and then using the cattle to open up more wasteland.
In this way, not only will the enthusiasm of the people to reclaim wasteland be mobilized, but you, the emperor, will also surely win the hearts of the people! ”
Minister of Works: Who said that children know nothing? Look at that little guy, he's talking so eloquently.
Which one here is not shrewd and calculating, a dragon and a phoenix? Who can compare to this child?
Minister of Revenue: Why do you feel that you are so short-sighted? The little kid has a far-sighted vision.
Everyone: Look at the flattery he is giving. We know, without even looking, that the emperor must be in a very good mood.
Song Jinxiu glanced at the stunned crowd, smiled slyly, and continued:
"After a few years, when our Cangwu army is strong and powerful, it would be fine if Beirong is obedient and raises horses, cattle and sheep for us. If he is not obedient, we will directly destroy him and let Beirong officially become our Cangwu sheep and horse farm."
Everyone: Is it still possible?
Is the little girl so vicious?
But it sounds so good!
As Song Jinxiu was talking, she clapped her hands, "Oh my, the more I think about it, the brighter the future of Cangwu will be, and we can share the mountains and rivers! I'm so smart, why didn't I think of it before?"
Everyone: ...Are you bragging about this?
Marquis Pingyang: How shameless!
Zhou Kunran: I seem to have become a clown again.
Emperor Liu Renxiu was so excited by what the little girl said that he couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha... Lord Song is indeed smart. It is such a blessing to our Cangwu!"
Song Jinxiu is in the spotlight again.
The morning court, which was always serious and tense, was discussing such an important military and national matter as the autumn defense, but she made it feel like a party by herself. Everyone became her foil.
Moreover, the method proposed by others seemed to be quite good. They were actually very excited and started to make plans on how to implement it.
The little girl just opens her mouth and they run themselves to pieces!
Song Jinxiu happily went home from court, changed her clothes in a hurry and went to the Imperial College.
The Imperial College is located in Dongcheng District, right next to the moat of the Imperial Palace.
When Song Jinxiu arrived, it was already past nine in the morning.
At this time, the gate of the Imperial College was open, and two strong guards were guarding the door.
Song Jinxiu got off the carriage and walked up the stairs.
"Stop, this is the Imperial College. It's time for the students to have classes. All outsiders, please leave immediately." A guard shouted.
Another guard said, "Miss, you are looking for someone, come back after the students finish their classes."
Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "I'm the new doctor, can I go in?"
"What? What did she say?" one guard asked another.
"Oh, I heard that a new doctor is coming today. This girl is probably his follower."
"Are you here to ask for leave for your doctor? You don't have to go in. Assistant Professor Zhang has been waiting for a long time. Just tell him."
When Assistant Instructor Zhang heard the voice, he hurried out of the gatehouse, glanced at Song Jinxiu, and then looked behind her.
Song Jinxiu didn't know that someone was waiting for her, and said a little embarrassedly: "Don't look at it, I'm the new doctor, I didn't know you were waiting for me."
As she spoke, she took out her badge and handed it over.
Zhang Feng took the badge and looked at it, and was shocked.
He politely returned the badge and said with a smile, "I only heard that the new doctor is a girl, but I didn't expect Dr. Song to be so young."
He said, bowing, "I am Zhang Feng, the teaching assistant of Dr. Song. Please come in, Dr. Song, the chief priest is waiting in the doctoral hall."
Under the surprised gazes of the two guards, Song Jinxiu strode into the Imperial College.
At this time, except for those attending classes, everyone else was sitting in the doctoral hall.
The Doctoral Hall is where teachers prepare lessons and work.
Some were preparing handouts, some were marking students' homework, and some were sitting and drinking tea.
"Master Jijiu, is Dr. Song not coming today?"
"He didn't even tell me he didn't come. I even asked the students to prepare a welcome ceremony today, but he didn't show up."
"I say, how can a woman become a doctor? This is not a vegetable market. If you want to come, come. If you don't want to come, don't come."
"That's right. Since ancient times, women are considered virtuous if they are not talented. Women don't need to be smart. It's their destiny to stay at home, get married and have children."
"I agree. A scholar should teach his children. Being a son is simply a joke."
The Imperial College's chief academic officer snorted coldly, "Hmph! Shut up, everyone! Are you doubting the Emperor's decision?"
"I dare not,"
"I dare not."
"If you don't dare, just shut up. We teach students not to criticize others behind their backs, but if you don't set an example yourself, how can you be a role model for others?"
As soon as I walked to the door of the Doctoral Hall, I heard discussions inside.
Zhang Feng blushed and said, "They are not like this usually. It's the dry autumn weather that caused them to get angry."
Song Jinxiu laughed softly, "I'm not angry, it's because I'm unknown, have no background, and am a woman."
Zhang Feng: Also, because they are all doctors, they started from the seventh rank, and it took them ten years to be promoted to the sixth rank. They worked hard for half their lives before being promoted to the fifth rank.
You are a fifth-rank official as soon as you arrive. At such a young age, he is so superior to others. Isn't this just attracting hatred?
Song Jinxiu stood at the door with a half-smile on her face. Zhang Feng suddenly felt uneasy. He quickly strode into the lobby and shouted, "Dr. Song is here."
Everyone looked over immediately.
Song Jinxiu stood at the door, with the rising sun behind her. She seemed to have walked out of the light.
After looking at everyone, she walked directly to the Imperial College's chief priest and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I thought I wouldn't be late to report after the court session, but I didn't expect to keep you waiting. I'm really sorry."
The Imperial College's chief academician was about fifty years old. He had already received a notice and knew that Song Jinxiu was a teenage girl.
He was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Did you attend the morning court today? Isn't there a meeting today?"
Song Jinxiu smiled sweetly, "Yes, the emperor sent a message to ask me to go yesterday."
Everyone: Is this the Doctor of Mathematics? Isn't this some pretty girl trying to fool people?
Still, still going to court?
Do you think you are a princess?
Even if she is a fifth-rank official, she can attend the morning court whenever she wants, right? You can’t even get into the palace, right?
"Master Jijiu, isn't this nonsense? If you are late, just say you are late. Lying is not what a teacher should do."
Song Jinxiu looked over coldly. The person who spoke was the one who advocated that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent and told her to go home, get married and have children.
She asked coldly, "Who are you?"
Zhang Feng quickly introduced: "This is Dr. Feng Cheng who teaches the Analects."
Oh, the Analects?
Song Jinxiu sneered in her heart.
