Since the exchange of hostages between the two countries, the border situation has escalated again. Although the Xiongnu did not launch a war, they continued to harass them.
After Ning Shoujiang cleared his treasonous grievances, he hurriedly embarked on the road to the border.
On the face of it, it is better to guard the border than to protect the pass, and it is necessary to be guilty and meritorious.
In private, the rich woman Yun Yaoyao gave Ning Shoujiang many rewards with a wave of her hand. After all, he was a brave and good general, so he had to maintain a good relationship.
Apart from these things, there is one more important thing during this court meeting——
The selection system for female officers is officially launched!
Different from the imperial examination selection system for ordinary officials, female officials adopt a trial system.
They were recommended by prestigious people such as officials or literary scholars, and were then divided into two major categories: civil and military. Regardless of whether they were noble or common, all were based on ability. Those who succeeded in the selection would enter Yuxiuyuan.
Yuxiuyuan is a newly established place ordered by Yun Yaoyao. It is managed by Guan Wanyu and Ning Ying. It is similar to the Hanlin Academy and is meant to be a preparatory camp for nurturing talents and female court officials.
After entering Yuxiuyuan, they will be trained first and then enter various ministries or other authorities for a three-month inspection period. During this period, they will be provided with money, food and accommodation.
Passing the inspection period means officially becoming a female imperial official.
In every step from a commoner to a female official in the imperial court, Yun Yaoyao strives to be fair and rigorous in the process, and tries not to let other people's power get involved.
Today's court background and the accumulation of concepts, social systems, humanities and other factors over the years are the greatest rights that Yun Yaoyao can win for women in this era.
Yun Yaoyao looked down, and all the faces were men's. Only Guan Wanyu and Ning Ying stood quietly on one side, silently resisting the situation where men were in power and men were respected.
Compared with the past, the aura of the two people has undergone earth-shaking changes, and they have become more calm and majestic like those in power and power.
This is the test that real power brings to the two of them, and it is also the confidence that real power brings to them.
Yun Yaoyao said solemnly: "You will be responsible for the first selection of female officials this time. We need to select fifty female officials with both ability and political integrity for the imperial court. Can we do it?"
Ning Ying and Guan Wanyu came out of the team with a sonorous and powerful voice: "We must do our best to complete the selection of female officers and not disappoint His Majesty!"
The two of them have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
They knew that of all the men present, His Majesty was the only one who truly cared about the woman's situation. The rest were all interested in it and wanted to gain benefits from it.
In my heart, I have contempt for these female officials and Yu Xiuyuan, and I don't think they can really achieve great things in the future.
This contempt is an encouragement and an opportunity for them.
This road is difficult and long. As the leaders of the female officials, the two of them must use all their strength to fight for a bloody road!
The selection of the first batch of female officers is the second official battle in which women have the right to speak!
After going to court, Yun Yaoyao still took Tu Shanjin to the Qianqing Palace to approve the memorial. The latter was responsible for handling political affairs, while the former slept peacefully.
In fact, the ministers of the DPRK had long had objections to Concubine Miao accompanying His Majesty to review memorials every day, saying that the Qianqing Hall was an important place for handling political affairs, and how could a woman from the harem enter easily.
In this regard, Yun Yaoyao said that Concubine Miao is smart and has ideas. Not only can she solve her worries in daily life, but she can also come up with wonderful things such as museums, papermaking and printing, libraries and literacy libraries.
If you can do it, not to mention that you can accompany Miao Fei in the Qianqing Hall every day, you can even sleep with her, the emperor, in the Yangxin Hall every day!
The ministers who had remonstrated immediately fell silent and never mentioned the matter again.
Thinking of this, Yun Yaoyao turned over and touched her chin to think.
While she is fighting the Du family, will she have to take the next step in her god-making plan?
She kept thinking until Tu Shanjin finished handling the political affairs, but Yun Yaoyao couldn't think of the most suitable thing to build or produce, so she had to give up.
Tu Shanjin glanced sideways at the figure on the imperial concubine's couch and thought silently in his heart.
She went to bed early last night and had to take a nap after going to bed. As evening approached, she usually had to squint again. How could she stand sleeping for so long in one day?
Could it be that the Book of Life and Death loves sleeping more than people do?
In his daze, his handsome face suddenly flashed in front of him, with a sinister smile on his face: "My dear concubine, you are tired, let's go, I will take you out of the palace to relax today!"
Tu Shanjin looked away and warned again that he loved the other person's soul: "You gave me enough things. I don't lack them here."
Yun Yaoyao blinked sincerely: "What are you talking about? I went out of the palace to conquer a Gao Dexiang, what does it have to do with your lack of things?"
Gao Dexiang, Gao Chongguang's father, served as the Minister of Civil Affairs and was Du Guanliu's number one subordinate.
Before, she tried to trick Gao Chongguang into rebelling against his father, but Gao Chongguang's strength was indeed as she expected, and it was useless!
Yun Yaoyao once again realized that Gao Chongguang was only suitable to be a mascot for trolls, and she had to do it herself to conquer people!
He misunderstood that the other party was Tu Shanjin who wanted to go out of the palace to buy something for him:...
It's a little embarrassing, but it doesn't matter, he will come around.
"Your subjugation of Gao Dexiang was essentially for me, and you sent me your trusted ministers. Now you have done enough. Four of the six ministers have been under my command. I can't bear your hard work..."
Yun Yaoyao looked touched: "My dear concubine, you are quite a nice person! You are becoming more and more empathetic and considerate of others!"
"A good teacher is better than a father, I am not deceived by this truth. It seems that I can not only be a teacher, but also a father..." Yun Yaoyao smacked her lips twice.
"Yun, Yao, Yao!"
The carriage secretly left the palace and left the imperial city.
Pei Qianhuo, who had received the news long ago, had been waiting at the main entrance of the imperial city. When he saw the carriage, he immediately stepped forward excitedly: "Master, you are here!"
Yun Yaoyao lifted the car curtain, looked at Pei Ganhuo up and down, and said with a smile: "It's been a while, I haven't seen you for a while, you really have the aura of the best businessman in the world."
Pei Qianhuo humbly held up his hands and said, "I didn't catch a ride on His Majesty's... Young Master's speedboat, and had Young Master's guidance. That's why I'm here today!"
Pei Qianhuo handed the account book in his arms to Yun Yaoyao: "Master, all the profits during this period are here. After excluding the costs, I made a huge profit! Hehe, please take a look!"
After saying that, he took the whip from the groom's hand and drove the two of them himself.
Yun Yaoyao flipped through the ledger, and the more she flipped through it, the more surprised she felt.
She originally thought that it would be good to be able to protect her capital by now. After all, the initial investment in doing business is huge and essential.
Who would have thought that Pei Qianhuo would give her such a big surprise, which would make her already wealthy life even better!
Pei Qianhuo in front was driving a carriage while proudly sharing his business experience.
"Sir, your beautiful house is not rented out. Instead, it is named 'Lanshe'. It is decorated and provided to the powerful for entertainment and socializing."
"It is equipped with highly skilled guards, experienced housekeepers, chefs who can cook all kinds of delicacies, etc. The subordinates have also added various entertainment things in the house, such as drinking tea, discussing Taoism, admiring flowers, listening to music, playing the piano, etc. Wine tasting, poetry dialogue, pot throwing, Cuju, and polo are all available..."
"With your Majesty's power, I have also reached a cooperation with Manyulou. If the dignitaries who live here temporarily can afford the price, they can also invite Su Miaomiao, the oiran of Manyulou, to play a song of colorful clothes and feathers."
"As soon as 'Lanshe' was launched, it was extremely popular among the powerful in the capital!"
Yun Yaoyao was very happy. Isn't this a modern version of a luxurious party? It turns out that ancient people were also keen on partying!
"As for the young master's fertile land, I hired people to plant the crops, but I don't just make money from the harvest." Pei Qianhuo gave up.
Yun Yaoyao raised her eyebrows: "Selling two things for one thing? Could it be that you also sold the process of harvesting crops?"
Pei Qianhuo clapped his hands: "Young master is really a god, he knows things like a god!"
"After listening to the young master's words that day, I gave my subordinates a lot of inspiration, and then I thought of this method of selling crops for two."
"My subordinates first preached that today's students only read the books of sages and do not know the sufferings of the people. After they become officials, how can they truly understand the sufferings of the people? They also made up a ballad. I don't know the sufferings of the people, so it is better to go home and plant sweet potatoes."
"My subordinates have put a lot of effort into publicity in this regard, so whether they are students or young ladies from powerful families, in order to gain a good reputation, they are all vying to spend money to come to my subordinates to experience the sufferings of the people."
"When the rice is harvested, those students or young masters will write a poem after experiencing the hard work of every grain, and they will have something to talk about in the future. If it is fruit, eating it while picking it will give you a unique flavor and novel experience."
"As soon as this method came out, it was also very popular among the powerful."
Yun Yaoyao sighed again, it was really easy to make money for these rich people who took advantage of them.
But aren’t there modern examples of people spending money to harvest rice? I heard business is pretty good!
Pei Qianhuo added: "As for the young master's shop, the young master knows about it, and his subordinates use it to open a wine shop."
"But this winery is no ordinary winery, but the winery in the wine fairy's poem!"
Yun Yaoyao became interested: "Oh? Keep talking."
Pei Qianhuo's eyes flashed with the light of a profiteer, and he continued to say with great interest: "The name of this wine is Cup of Immortality, which is also the name of my subordinate winery."
"This wine comes from the time when the Wine Immortal ascended to immortality and heaven and man became one... bah bah bah... suddenly a heavenly tribulation descended... bah bah bah... the immortal in the cup endured ninety-nine and eighty-one heavenly thunder tribulations, and the smell of wine and The immortal energy merges into one... blah blah blah..."
Pei Qianhuo spoke eloquently, and Yun Yaoyao and Tu Shanjin in the carriage were dumbfounded.
Good guy, the past and present lives of the immortal in this cup are here!
It’s still such a story of ups and downs, dumbfounded, resurrected in a desperate situation, the sky is shattering and the earth is shattered, the mountains are shattered, the earth is shaken, and the Fengtian is struck by lightning!
As expected of you, Pei Ganhuo!
Pei Qian said proudly: "The story of wine needs to create momentum, and the production of wine naturally needs to create momentum."
"This cup of immortal wine is stepped on by the beauty with her bare feet. While it is fermenting, the beauty has to play the piano and sing poems. It is fermented and bathed in elegance and knowledge. When it is put on the altar, it has to... bah bah bah. …”
After hearing this, even Tu Shanjin, who had seen the world, couldn't help but be surprised again.
"But what does conquering Gao Dexiang have to do with going to the wine shop?" Tu Shanjin asked sideways.
Yun Yaoyao answered the question: "As soon as the Immortal in the Cup was launched, it was extremely popular among the powerful. Du Kangge, the largest winery in the capital, is the property of the Du family. Now that the Immortal in the Cup is gaining such momentum, how could the Du family just sit idly by and ignore it? ?”
"The Du family wanted to trip up the Immortal in the Cup, but they found out that the holder of the deed of the Immortal in the Cup was Yun Yaoyao, also known as Concubine Miao. They couldn't use cruel methods, so they came to fight with the Immortal in the Cup."
"The bet in a wine fight is that the loser hangs the winner's wine shop plaque for three months. Whichever house loses will be completely disgraced."
"And Gao Dexiang is one of the people sent by the Dujia Winery to fight for wine."
While he was talking, the carriage had already arrived at the wine shop, and the elegant words "The Immortal in the Cup" were hung at the door, which was elegant and stylish.
