Chapter 868: The Extra of Ruhua (Three)
The cute and stupid girl who used to hide behind Aunt Mei Lu Ying has completely transformed and has become the mainstay among Daliang officials, with her ambition and ambition for making achievements.
Jiang Shaohua knew this feeling. The pleasure brought by power and status is far greater than the temporary joy of love between men and women.
When a woman goes to a high position, has the power, and experiences the taste of dominating her own destiny and the fate of others, she will never want to go back to the past.
Only continue to move forward and keep moving forward.
"I will consider this matter for a few days." Jiang Shaohua spoke in an official tone and did not immediately respond: "When I have thought about it, then make a decision."
Half of it was successful without a single refusal.
Lu Ruohua was overjoyed, and was calm on his face. He quickly changed the subject and talked about the government affairs of Hexi County.
Jiang Shaohua stayed in Hexi County for more than half a month, inspected all the departments in the government office, and also moved back and forth in Hexi County. Especially satisfied with the schools in Hexi County.
Since Jiang Shaohua ascended the throne, he first established a girls' school and then promoted the public school where Shu Xiu was completely exempted. Twenty years have passed and it has achieved great results. Even the most remote counties will also set up schools.
Children over eight years old can go to school to study. In fact, very few people can truly embark on the path of imperial examinations. In the provincial examinations that are every three years, most of the people who can pass the exam are from aristocratic families. However, over the years, the proportion of poor students who pass the exam has gradually increased.
What is particularly gratifying is that more and more women are signing up for the women's examination. Women's imperial examinations are the best way to go for an official position. Even women who fail the exam and who are studying and literate can also go out of the house to take a job. For example, being a female student, or a female accountant, etc.
Changing customs and customs is not something that can be accomplished every day. After twenty years of walking, this path has become more and more spacious and smoother.
Lu Ruohua, the county magistrate of Hexi County, attached great importance to education. He not only established a girl school with no exemption from Shu Hui, but also established a county government college with the first-level level. This also provides students with poor families with learning opportunities. As long as you can pass the college assessment, you can study for free, and food and accommodation are provided by the yamen.
Hexi County spends on this college every year, accounting for as much as 30% of the government's expenditure. The effect is also obvious. In the barren Hexi County, a large number of students have emerged in recent years. In the provincial examination last year, Hexi County won 18 juren. In this year's examination, three people from Hexi County passed the Jinshi exam.
These are all the real political achievements of the governor of County Lu.
Jiang Shaohua saw it and was quite satisfied with Lu Ruohua's performance.
When leaving Hexi County, Jiang Shaohua said to Lu Ruohua: "I have to patrol all the way, and it takes about half a year to reach the border."
"You can't be left out in Hexi County. You can work with peace of mind. After half a year, the Ministry of Personnel will send someone to take over your position as the county magistrate, and you will go directly to the border and wait for me."
"I want to set up Xinliangcheng on the border, and you will be the first county magistrate of Xinliangcheng."
A bright light burst out in Lu Ruohua's eyes, and he bowed deeply: "Thank you, the emperor, for trusting me. I will definitely devote myself to it."
...
Prime Minister Wang Jin, who was newly appointed for the year, immediately went to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after receiving the letter from the emperor.
The nineteen-year-old prince Jiang Ning is slender and taller than Her Majesty the Queen, and his eyebrows are full of heroic spirit.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "My mother also wrote me a letter, talking about the establishment of Xinliang City, and planned to let County Magistrate Lu go to Xinliang City to be the first county magistrate."
"The Ministry of Personnel has to choose a suitable person to be the county magistrate of Hexi County." "In addition, the Ministry of Revenue must also prepare in advance. Building a new city requires a large amount of money, grain, manpower and material resources. After more than half a year, you can prepare calmly."
Prime Minister Wang bowed and said, "I will ask Shangshu Feng and others to discuss this matter."
Shangshu Feng is nearly 80 years old and has to worry about Daliang’s money and food all day long. His Highness the Crown Prince was so unbearable that he thought for a while and said, "Justice Tang is enough to come. Feng Shangshu rests happily."
Prime Minister Wang smiled helplessly: "Your Highness is not unaware of Shangshu Feng's temper. He will definitely be angry if he bypasses him in such a big event."
Prime Minister Chen retired, and Shangshu Feng was the oldest minister in the court. With Shangshu Feng's straightforward temper, when he stared at him, even His Highness the Crown Prince was also scared.
Jiang Ning had no choice but to change his words with a smile: "Then please ask Shangshu Feng to discuss matters together."
Shangshu Feng did not deliberately refuse to retreat. He was three years older than Prime Minister Chen. He was worried and worked hard all day long, but his health was particularly good. Now he has white hair, and he is still flying. After entering the Showa Hall, Shangshu Feng took out the emperor's handwritten letter: "The emperor wants to set up Xinliang City and absorb the grassland tribes. If this matter is done well, it can bring true long-term peace to the border."
"The old minister agrees very much."
"The money, grain and materials needed to establish Xinliangcheng are all spent by the Ministry of Revenue."
Daliang has been in good weather in recent years, with clear and clear administration, rich people, and abundant national treasury. Feng Shangshu was confident and straight.
His Royal Highness looked pleased: "Then this matter is decided." He paused and reminded tactfully: "Shangshu Feng should be stronger, so don't be too tired. If you have any questions, give me an order and let Mr. Tang do it. ”
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Shangshu Feng smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the old minister knows the importance of the matter, and will not hold on. When the new Liang City is built, the old minister will submit a memorial to retire and live a peaceful life."
That being said, once the Ministry of Revenue is running, Feng Shangshu has no time to be idle. He still adheres to his usual style of conduct and personally watches the officials of the Ministry of Revenue every day.
Half a year later, the newly appointed officials of the Ministry of Personnel went to Hexi County to take over the post of county magistrate.
Lu Ruohua packed his luggage and set off for the border.
Lu Ying, who has been a county magistrate in Li County, smiled at Aunt Mei, "Don't worry about my sister in the future. My sister is motivated and motivated, and is the emperor's confidant and beloved minister."
"When Xinliang City is built, my sister becomes the county magistrate of Xinliang City and educates the outside tribe, which can be recorded in history in the future."
Aunt Mei didn't understand these things and was a little confused: "Isn't she just a county magistrate? She was also a county magistrate of Hexi County. When she went to the border to be a county magistrate, why is she so powerful?"
Lu Ying smiled and sighed: "Of course it's very different. As long as you know, my sister will be a famous minister in Daliang in the future."
Aunt Mei stretched her eyebrows and smiled: "I don't understand these. In short, you brother and sister must be loyal ministers of the emperor and do things with your heart."
Lu Ying nodded with a smile.
His official career has basically reached its peak. Her Majesty the Queen will use him, but she will not use him too much.
Lu Ruohua is different. A female official who even abandons her dedication to making achievements even when she gets married and has children is the most loyal and suitable minister of Her Majesty the Empress.
