There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 471 The Importance of Education

"How did you get arrested?" Wu Youwei heard what Wantong said during dinner, and Wantong was busy with this matter all day today.

"Death." Wantong was speechless.

It turned out that Ma Cheng's family had lost their adults because of him, but Yixing princess still gave him a chance, but this man did not change his mind.

This time he was miserable, just in time for King Hui to enter Beijing.

King Hui heard about the sister, and gave a memorial to Emperor Xianzong, and wanted to go back to Beijing. One was to meet the emperor, and the other was to meet the queen mother, so he could see the girl.

In fact, King Jian also came to the memorial, and he was also worried about his eldest sister, Princess Chongqing. Although he didn't need to worry because his eldest brother was the emperor, he thought it would be good to take the opportunity to come back to see his mother.

Emperor Xianzong agreed, but the vassal kings were not allowed to leave the fief for no reason, and they had to come one by one when they entered Beijing.

So Emperor Xianzong let King Hui come over first, and when King Jian came, it happened to be June and July in summer, so he could catch up with the eldest princess' ceremony.

Therefore, King Hui began to prepare after the year, and set off as soon as the first month came out.

Then... King Hui Jian Cong, in the suburbs of Beijing, saw that the post station was very lively, so he changed into casual clothes, took people out for a stroll in the country market, and saw Ma Cheng's son-in-law, he At that time, I was holding a beautiful woman in my arms. I bought a gold hairpin in a jewelry shop facing the street. The gold hairpin was in the shape of a plum blossom. The five petals were inlaid with relatively thin rubies. The style was beautiful, mainly because the red color was very regular .

Ma Cheng's son-in-law also put it on the woman's head, and the maid who followed the woman still called the woman "Madam"!

This is obviously the treatment only available to the main room, and that red is the color of the main room!

In Prince Hui's mansion, only his concubines could see Zhenghong, and other concubines, he didn't allow them to wear red, not even magenta and concubine red, only pink and crimson.

At that time, King Hui was angry and sent someone to beat up Ma Cheng's son-in-law. The woman was also sold to the brothel Chu Pavilion by King Hui in a fit of anger. Only when he got there did he find out that this woman is still an oiran!

It's just that he was redeemed by Ma Cheng's son-in-law, and then raised outside.

Wu Youwei was dumbfounded when he heard this: "It's just... how long has it been?"

To be honest, it didn't take long before...he reverted to his old ways?

Ma Cheng's family has nothing left, how dare they do this?

"Did you get water in your head?" Wu Youwei really couldn't understand, it's just a woman, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't hurt her daughter-in-law's heart like this?

"Ma Cheng can be regarded as spoiled and raised. You know, that kind of person has already been stereotyped, can you?" It's not that good anymore."

Imperial Prison in Fusi Yamen, Jinyiwei North Town

Ma Cheng was in a prison cell in fear. This time, no one was with him, and his brother-in-law and brother-in-law were all gone, so he was alone in the prison...

In May Renxu, Ma Wensheng, the servant of the Ministry of War, took the lead in launching the concert, established a postal system, and gave priority to the placement of disabled soldiers. With the support of the censors, the matter passed smoothly.

However, people from the Ministry of Industry also came forward, saying that the road conditions might not be good, and now the cement road was involved, because the entire Songjiang Mansion is now a cement road.

But Beijing and Central are not like that yet!

Therefore, cement roads have to be laid again.

This requires labor, because there were floods last year, and there are still some places where the people have less land and more people, so the labor is not recruited, and they are simply hired.

The household department now has money, food, and employment.

The imperial court discussed the matter for three to five days before issuing the arrival report and notice.

By the time Wu Youwei knew about it, Beijing Central had already started laying the concrete avenue, starting from the gate of the imperial palace.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of taking the little prince out to practice, Wu Youwei wanted to see ancient road engineering.

Unlike his small fights in Shanghai County, this is a national project!

It's just that the Beijing Zhongtiao was laid first, and it was also an example to the world, and someone from the Ministry of Industry who knew how to draw designed the blueprints, and Wu Youwei also wanted to see it.

When one big and one small led people to the gate of the palace, they were stopped!

"Young master, Mr. Wu, master wants to go out with you for a walk." Eunuch Wynn, dressed as a butler, stood there with a smile in his casual clothes.

A low-key carriage opened the curtain, and Emperor Xianzong smiled at him in casual clothes: "Mr. Wu."

Wu Youwei sighed: "Master Huang?"

"Yes." Emperor Xianzong nodded.

The little prince rushed forward excitedly: "Father...Father!"

He was quite obedient, and he changed his words very smoothly.

"Well, father will accompany you out to play today." Emperor Xianzong patted the little crown prince's head: "Your grandpa also took father out to play..."

"Then today, father will take me out to play too!" The little prince was very happy.

In fact, in the palace, those rules made them unable to let go even if they wanted to go on a blind date, even though Wan Zhen'er had tried her best to let the children get along well with Emperor Xianzong.

But always in front of many people, they just want to maintain the honor of the royal family, and they will not act like a baby at will.

Going out like an ordinary father and son has never felt like this!

Because even if they go out, they only take two steps in the inner city, and they will never go to the outer city.

What's more, today both of them are in casual clothes, father and son of ordinary people.

"Let's go." Emperor Xianzong asked the little crown prince to get on the carriage. Wu Youwei had no choice but to follow in. This carriage looks ordinary, but there is something hidden inside. Because the Ministry of Industry has a spring design, this carriage is equipped with springs Yes, shock absorption, not bumpy at all.

But as soon as they left the palace gate, they were stopped again.

The two big ones and one small looked out and found that it was Wantong, and Wantong was not alone, he also brought Wan Xinpeng and the others, all in casual clothes.

Emperor Xianzong smiled dryly: "I just went out for a walk."

"Then take us with you." Wantong couldn't help but let people protect the carriage on both sides: "Just treat it as brother-in-law taking us out to play."

Although this time to play, the weather is a bit hot.

No way, Emperor Xianzong took a few people with him, how could Wantong go out without worrying about him?What's more, he still brought the crown prince with him...Wu Youwei!

So a group of people... just dragged their feet around the inner city. The roads in the inner city are all made of slate, so there is no need for major repairs, as long as they are smoothed with cement and smoothed.

Because the cement dries quickly, it doesn't delay anything, the inner city is still prosperous, and the little prince bought a lot of gadgets, but Wu Youwei felt that this little guy bought a lot of useless things.

Naturally there were good brushes, ink, paper and inkstones in the palace, but he bought several brushes, one of which was very thick, which was used by adults to write big characters, but the little prince bought it out of curiosity.

This thing is the material at the bottom of the box when it goes back.

Wu Youwei had an idea in his mind.

Paving roads is easy in the inner city, but more complicated in the outer city. There are gravel roads and road marks, which are deep and need to be leveled. Paving the road is very troublesome.

Many strong men are sweating profusely, digging the roadbed.

They had seen enough in the inner city, and when they came to the outer city, they were a little hungry and wanted to eat, but... Wu Youwei asked the little prince: "Young Master Huang, do you know numbers and money?"

"You know...the one?" The little prince thought for a while, and he probably knew him, because he had bought things several times.

He also rewarded people in the palace.

"Then do you know how money is earned?" Wu Youwei asked him again.

Emperor Xianzong stood beside Wantong and watched Wu Youwei teach on the spot.

When the little prince was shopping just now, Emperor Xianzong paid the money, and the little prince himself had pocket money, but Wu Youwei disapproved on his face. Now they are all very curious, how will the Zuo Chunfang University scholar teach the prince?

"Money...pay taxes...uh...." The little prince was speechless.

According to the regulations of Ming Dynasty, the royal family allocates [-]% of the annual tax revenue to maintain the royal family and the palace, [-]% goes to the household department, and [-]% is used to support the army. Although there are farms, everyone knows that the thing exists in name only.

There are also weapons, clothes, salaries, etc., which account for half of the army's expenses.

Thirty percent of the household department, of which [-]% has to be paid to officials, encounters some troubles, and the household department will tighten its belt to live.

To be honest, the life of the emperor of Ming Dynasty has been very tight. Later, Huangzhuang appeared, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

It wasn't until Wu Youwei opened a business, invested in Emperor Xianzong's shares, and Wantong's Jinghai operation, that the pockets of Emperor Xianzong bulged.

But it's okay to use private money to support the family, but it's just an ordinary family, royal family...can it be the same?

"You have experienced the artistic conception of "Compassion for the Farmers", but you don't know how hard it is to earn money." Wu Youwei reached out and squeezed the little prince's small purse: "Is it empty?"

"Hmm..." The little prince was excited because his father was there, and with Emperor Xianzong paying the bill, he...buy, buy, buy....

"Master's pocket money must be about the same, right?" Wu Youwei glanced at Emperor Xianzong's purse again.

Wantong quickly took it over, squeezed it, and said seriously: "There are still some."

"Confiscated." Wu Youwei said simply: "The housekeeper does not allow funding."

Just as Eunuch Wynn was about to take out his money bag, he froze at this sentence.

In fact, the money bag on Emperor Xianzong's body contained some copper coins and scattered silver taels, not many, just three or five taels.

All the big money is collected from him.

There are ten 1000 taels of bank notes in his arms, a total of 1 taels.

There are also two gold tickets of 1000 taels for emergencies.

There are also 200 taels of gold ingots, 1000 taels of silver ingots and [-] copper coins, in a small bundle, in the pony carriage he was riding in.

How could there be no money?

But judging from the meaning of Master Wu and Lord Wantong, he is not allowed to take it out.

He looked at Emperor Xianzong.

Emperor Xianzong shook his head: "Okay, no funding, then, what about lunch?"

The road in the outer city was under construction, and there was a lot of smoke and dust, but there were quite a few food stalls on another street without road construction.

They are now on this snack street, next to them are selling hot pepper soup, as well as mutton pancakes and meat buns, which are very fragrant.

"The young master is hungry, so master, please take the young master to make money." Wu Youwei smiled and rolled his eyes: "It's in the next street, not many, I've seen it, resist two bags of sand, there will be a lot of money." Ten coins will come into the account."

This is a laborious job, two bags of sand are very heavy, and a strong laborer can earn one hundred and eighty cash a day, so I dare not let them do it no matter how much it is, for fear of getting tired and hurting the body.

"No, that's too dirty." Emperor Xianzong looked at his clothes: "It will stain the clothes, it's made by Zhen'er for me!"

Wu Youwei: "...!!!"

He thought of everything, including the little prince's cheating, cuteness, crying, and even Emperor Xianzong's rage, so he told him the truth of "no matter how poor you are, you can't get poor education, no matter how rich you are, you can't get rich children".

Back then, when their school held this symposium, it lasted seven or eight days!

The good holidays are all spent in the meeting room, and there is no air conditioning in the summer...  

Wantong looked at his brother-in-law, then at Wu Youwei, pointed to a nearby grain store and said, "Why don't you go to the grain store...to find a job?"

The grain store next to it has a good business, because people in this snack street basically buy grain in this grain store for food.beat

At this time, several carts of grain arrived, because after the rivers in the north opened up in the south, there were ships from the south to the north by water.

It was just right at this time, and it was also the day when the grain store bought goods. The grain store hired some manpower to carry the grain, but because of road construction, manpower was not easy to hire, and the wages paid by the imperial court were not low. I don't come here to work at all.
