Chapter 335 Enfeoffment
Jiang Lingyue naturally believed them.
After all, the people under her command all came from wealthy families and had seen all kinds of situations.
He has the ability, means, and his own family resources.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lingyue's smile became more genuine.
"You have all been in charge of inner court affairs, and you must know that there are no vacancies for the fourth-rank official position in the inner court. However, you probably don't aspire to do this. After all, even if you are given the position of Si Zheng, it would be a real concession."
She looked at the two women in front of her, both of whom exuded elegance and looked like they had grown up in the lap of luxury, and said, "If you want to achieve success, you must leave this wealthy and luxurious city of Beijing and live a life full of dangers. Are you prepared?"
Lu Mingyao smiled when he heard that.
She looked up at the palace with carved railings and jade bricks, and said with a smile: "To be honest, Your Majesty, if women had this choice a few years ago, I probably wouldn't have entered the palace to compete with so many other girls."
Such a wealthy nest is actually another arena.
However, they met an emperor who did not like women, and there was no favor to compete for, so everyone was very well-behaved and there was much less bloodshed.
If it were the previous dynasty, who would dare to say that the fighting among concubines was not fraught with danger?
"Since I entered the inner court, I never thought of staying in the capital and becoming an ordinary female official."
Lu Mingyao's eyes were blazing, his expression frank. "I will, through my own efforts, return to the First Rank and, together with Your Majesty, leave my name in history. Perhaps there will even be a section about me in your biography."
Erect a monument and write a biography, and your name will be passed down through the ages.
It is the honor that all civil officials and military generals pursue throughout their lives.
Lu Mingyao didn't dare to imagine that he could achieve such an unprecedented achievement.
But, she can take advantage of the Empress.
As long as Jiang Lingyue is crowned queen, she will have her own biography.
She would be a favored queen whose like is hard to find in history books, and she also had political achievements in promoting the welfare of women all over the world.
His reputation in later generations is probably greater than that of some emperors.
What Lu Mingyao has to do is to become one of the most capable ministers under Jiang Lingyue.
By then, the good reputation of the monarch and his ministers getting along well with each other will spread, and there will be no worries about not being able to leave a name in history.
When it comes to his reputation during his lifetime, Lu Mingyao is very clear-headed and knows what he should do.
A woman's ambition is no longer to seek a man's favor, but to leave her name in history.
This is really encouraging to hear.
Jiang Lingyue looked at her with a strange look.
In her previous life, she and Concubine Hui had never sat down to have a good conversation. She only knew that this man was highly praised for his virtue by the court and the public, and that he had never made any mistakes in managing the affairs of the six palaces.
Apart from her love for targeting herself, she can be considered a model queen.
Unexpectedly, now that I have changed my path and am competing with men for power, I am even more energetic and also want to pursue the highest point.
——This is what an official fan is like.
Before, Qi Hengzhi said that she was obsessed with officials, which was really wrong.
Jiang Lingyue complained a lot in her heart and really looked at Lu Mingyao with new respect.
A strong man.
Who says women are inferior to men.
This girl is the strongest among women.
For a moment, stars were twinkling in Jiang Lingyue's eyes.
Chen Shuyi, who was standing next to her, coughed softly. Seeing her looking over, she asked, "What are your plans for us, Madam?"
Jiang Lingyue already had an idea. She said, "Come with me."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked to the desk.
On top of it was a vast map of the universe.
The mountains, rivers, and the divisions of states and counties are clearly visible.
In a prosperous era, there are many talented people and the imperial power is unquestionable.
However, the territory is vast and there are always things that are beyond our reach, so military deterrence is also indispensable.
In addition to the four major military regions, every provincial capital in the entire Dahan has garrisons.
Every important military and political center is managed by the Emperor's direct and trusted subordinates.
Like Wang Shaofu, after being sent out for a few years, his outstanding personal abilities impressed Qi Junyi, and he was willing to give him a chance.
You can use it as you please.
As a result, in the later period of Wang Shaofu's exile, several of the prefectures he served in were in the prosperous south, which was also the economic lifeline of Dahan.
The emperor is far away and there is no shortage of parasites in a prosperous era. Qi Junyi let him go and rectify the taxes.
The south is a place where clan power is strong, and basically all officials who can stay for a long time have become corrupt.
Rectifying taxes and affecting other people's interests is like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.
Only the emperor and his ministers knew what the emperor had ordered, how much authority he had given to Wang Shaofu, and how many troops he had given him.
But Wang Shaofu did pull out a lot of tiger teeth. In those years, officials from the Jiangnan faction were punished and beaten, and countless of them were brought down.
He returned to the capital safely with his wife.
Moreover, none of the local nobles and wealthy gentry said a word against him.
He is still the same gentle and graceful young master Wang, as pure as snow.
Just horrible.
Everyone in the government and the country was afraid of it.
Returning to Beijing with such achievements, it is obvious that he is a trusted and beloved minister of His Majesty the Emperor, and if nothing unexpected happens, he is destined to join the cabinet.
There are only four ministers in total, and he wanted to occupy one, so of course he blocked the way of many people.
However, perhaps because they were afraid of his bloodless record in battles when he was sent abroad, no one dared to put any obstacles in Wang Shaofu's way during the year since he returned to Beijing.
Now, Jiang Lingyue pointed to the southwest on the map and said to Chen Shuyi, "This is Xizhou City, an independent small city. Although it's not very large, it has developed water transportation. Two of the three Dahan canals pass through it. It is a transportation hub in the southwest, and countless merchants and students who travel all over the country will go here."
The territory of Dahan is so vast that it is extremely difficult for the decrees issued from the capital to radiate to all states and counties and make them known to all people in the world.
The gentry and students were fine, as they had their own channels of information.
It is difficult for ordinary people to pay attention to major national affairs.
Therefore, Jiang Lingyue selected Xizhou City as one of the first places to establish a women's college.
Only by building a women's college here can the emperor's intention to promote women's education and enable women to read and gain knowledge be further spread to the world at a terrifying speed.
This includes the fact that girls do not have to pay tuition to attend school, and free calligraphy and painting are provided to students from poor families.
If you learn well, you will be rewarded with real money.
Colleges in various places have recommendation quotas every year, and can recommend top-performing students from their colleges to go to Beijing to participate in the election of female officials in the inner court.
Once you enter the inner court, you will be a real official appointed by the court.
Absolutely bring honor to the family.
If a poor family has a smart daughter, they will consider sending her to school just for the sake of money.
Even families who are not short of money would still think about what if their daughter becomes an "official appointed by the court"?
In short, the imperial court encouraged people to send their daughters to school.
As long as my daughter performs well in college, her family members will benefit greatly.
This will greatly prevent those smart, studious and intelligent girls from being trapped in a square house.
