After leaving Lingxi Palace, Murong Jin turned around and went to Emperor Junlan's study.
When they arrived outside the hall, Zhao Delin was about to speak when Murong Jin stopped him.
"Why has Your Highness come here?"
Zhao Delin knew that the Regent Prince had brought the young prince and others to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager today.
Murong Jin: "Let them spend more time with the Empress Dowager."
"If I were here, the Empress Dowager would feel uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Delin understood the Regent's concerns. Although the Regent had now reverted to her female identity, her cold demeanor remained the same, inspiring both fear and tension.
He couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, and then asked her, "His Majesty is discussing matters with the Prime Minister. Would you like to go in and take a look?"
"No need, I can stay outside."
Zhao Delin arranged a chair for her, and so, for the first time, someone sat there drinking tea outside the Imperial Study.
Zhao Delin: "..." He felt something was off, but seeing the Regent's calm demeanor, he thought he was probably overthinking it.
...
"Mother, can I really go to school now?"
"That's great! Girls from poor families can go to school now too."
"This new education law is great."
“You’re still young. If you go to school and do well, you’ll even get a subsidy.”
"Okay! I will definitely try my best!"
“Cui’er’s mother, once the school is built, let’s send the children there to learn to read and write.”
"Great! Even if they don't get first place, learning more will be good for them in the future."
"What's the point of a girl reading books? It's a waste of time. She'd be better off helping with chores at home and getting married when she's old enough."
"Bullshit, the regents are all girls, how come you're not more capable than the regent?"
"..."
"Besides, we have female emperors in our history, why don't you try to do that? You're just an old bachelor in the village."
"Ignore him."
...
The soldiers are in position.
"We are responsible for safety and village patrols; we cannot allow any incidents of harm to children to occur."
"The new law states that children have the right to education, regardless of gender. If family members prevent them from doing so, they are breaking the law."
Children under the age of ten receive free tuition and lessons, and those who perform well at the school also receive rewards…
After the age of ten, one can begin with the preliminary examinations for children. If one passes these examinations, one can gradually progress to the higher-level examinations of the imperial examination system...
...
"The law has changed; girls are now only allowed to marry at eighteen..."
"This is good. I've seen many girls give birth around the age of fifteen, and some don't make it through; both the mother and the child die..."
...
When Li Mingzhong came out, seeing the strange scene, he asked, "Regent, what are you doing drinking tea here?"
"Please feel free to sit anywhere."
Li Mingzhong: "..." It's scary when it gets dark, you know.
"By the way, the recent feedback on the new laws has been quite good. Moreover, what people fear most is not being unable to go to school, but rather being penniless, without food or clothing..."
“After the Regent made the school for children under ten years old free of charge, they no longer had any worries.”
"If someone hasn't achieved much by the age of ten, but has already learned quite a few characters, they could work as a recorder in the village, which wouldn't be bad..."
"Besides learning more knowledge, it will also give them more options..."
Murong Jin: "Mm."
It's simply a matter of diversified development.
Girls have a lot to learn, and so do boys.
If there are more workshops, even those who are not interested in learning can still have their own survival skills.
Perhaps we could set up more workshops, especially those related to clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
Although everyone has a plot of land, what happens if there is drought or flood...
Famine can also occur.
"Prime Minister, I have something to assign you."
"Your Majesty, please speak." In any case, Li Mingzhong is now a very loyal and devoted minister to the Regent.
After hearing what Murong Jin said, she thought, "It sounds good, but it would require a lot of manpower and financial resources."
Murong Jin's lips curled up. "So, the mastermind behind it all is me."
The regent paid for it.
Li Mingzhong immediately understood, "Yes."
The Regent's Righteousness.
...
After Murong Jin entered the imperial study, she looked at the man and asked, "Is there anything else today?"
Emperor Junlan immediately stood up. "Ah Jin, why are you here? Didn't you say you were with Mother and the others?"
"My mother seemed a little nervous in front of me, so I came out."
Upon hearing this, Di Junlan smiled and said, "That's true. I'm the only one who isn't afraid of you."
They pulled the person over and made them sit down, directly in the seat the emperor usually sat in.
"The recent response has been quite good. Although some people disagree with causing trouble, they can't do anything wrong in the face of power."
"And as for places like brothels and pleasure quarters, I also want to make some changes..."
Murong Jin even suspected that this person might have been possessed.
But when I think about the books Qiao'er wrote, how they subtly influenced the people here...
"Can."
Perhaps a hundred years from now, or a thousand years from now, humanity will live in greater peace and freedom.
"Here, Ah Jin, please check if there are any problems."
Murong Jin hummed in agreement.
The two men sat there reading documents.
In the city.
Ankesen: "Take all necessary precautions, not only in the city, but also outside the city, including county towns and villages."
