Chapter 970: Even if it’s a cottage, they have to buy it

Mother Qi looked at her weak back, feeling distressed.

"Mother, you do this, in case you are discovered..."

"I found out, so what?" Jin Yao laughed to herself, "Put me in the cold

palace? Or kill me? Anyway, I will survive in a few days."

Mother Qi whispered: "Maybe the emperor will anger the Jin family."

"Then get angry." Jin Yao closed her eyes, "Since I was little, I have always

been proud of myself as a daughter of the Jin family. The honor and disgrace

of the Jin family is also my honor and disgrace. But in the end, it turns out

that I am just a one. Chess pieces, let the family play around. Now they are

completely abandoned. What do I still maintain the so-called home? It's

ridiculous."

Mother Qi wet her eyes.

She raised her sleeve and wiped her tears, and said, "Manny, it's not that the

old lady doesn't care for you, but...there is no way at home."

"Do they really love me?" Jin Yao shook her head. "The only person they really

care about is my brother."

"Anyway, the son really loves you."

"My brother may love me. But... in his eyes, Jiangshan Sheji, parents, family,

wife and children, I'm afraid they will all be in front of me." Jin Yao's

voice was light and fluttering, "Madam no need to persuade. I have made a

decision. Now that I have nothing, don't the mother support me anymore?"

"Manny, even if everyone in this world doesn't want you, give you up. The

slave and maid will never leave you." The maid cried and said, "No matter what

you want to do, the maid will help you and let you achieve your wish."

"Then, let that idiot Jiang Ran help me start the first step. Be quick, I

don't have much time."

"Don't worry, the maidservant will arrange it properly."

In the evening, Yundai accompanied Zhao Yuanjing for dinner, stayed in the

Imperial Study Room, and carefully sorted out the land and plans to establish

an official school with him.

After selling four plots of land, he planned to build four colleges.

However, before that, the family education qualifications of the major

families must be cancelled, and the famous masters and confucians must be

hired by the court, and they are not allowed to teach in private schools.

The court will pay them salaries.

When the children of these big families have nowhere to go to school, they

will naturally go to the official school run by the court. At that time, all

the conditions for admission will be determined by the court.

Zhao Yuanjing liked this plan very much.

Talent is a very important asset, and he has always valued it.

Now that all schools are closed to official schools, it is also possible to

control these resources in the hands of the court to a certain extent.

Not to mention, you can also make money from these big players.

"If you want to enter these government schools, you have to buy a nearby

house. Naturally, the court has the final say." Yun Dai smiled.

She and Zhao Yuanjing sat cross-legged on the mat, facing the mess of paper on

the table, holding a big tea cup, drinking and talking.

Zhao Yuanjing scratched his hair and frowned, "But, the house near the

school...I'm afraid it can't be built much, right?"

"You are not stupid, who told you to build such a big house? If you build a

five-in-five-out house, you can only sell three or five houses at a time,

let's not die?"

Zhao Yuanjing didn't mind her calling herself a fool.

He pondered: "Then, reduce the area? But if the house is too small, it will be

difficult to live, and it will inevitably be rejected."

"Zhao Yuanjing, you have to remember one thing. We sell this house, not for

those elders and young masters, but to give them a qualification for

admission. Even if the house only has a ten-square-foot cottage, they have to

buy it."
