It’s also a big deal to say that Wu Zheng has been refusing to recruit scholars from Jiangnan to join the government. After repeated requests from Zhang Huangyan and others, the regulations that scholars must teach in the college for several years if they want to join the government.

As a result, these scholars heard that they had the way to enter the officialdom, so they broke the head and applied to the college for a job.

Because it is the only way to enter the officialdom, the General's Mansion did not strictly stipulate the number of teachers. Now, in just a few months, it has skyrocketed from dozens of teachers to eight or nine hundred.

Fortunately, there is no need to pay a salary. Wu Zheng specifically stipulated that scholars are obliged to teach, and they are not paid except food and accommodation.

It’s not that Wu Zheng was stingy and refused to pay anyone’s salary, but that the college itself does not charge tuition fees, and the expenses required are all borne by the Finance Department, and also provides students with a free lunch.

Therefore, although those scholars muttered behind their backs, they did not object. Perhaps they thought in their hearts that this was the early investment before entering the government.

But in this way, the early teachers, especially those of teachers like Wu Xiaomei, will invisibly feel pressured.

This is like the level of writing an essay. How can it be compared with the level of writing an essay?

When people open their mouths, quatrains and allusions come from the beginning. If they are not of sufficient level, they can't make do with it.

Although teaching children does not require too profound knowledge, they are forced by the environment.

Wu Zheng understood the reason why Wu Xiaomei was unhappy, so he comforted him: "I'm against them... In this way, I'll find two great scholars for you. Let's learn it well for two or three years, and then I'll be ashamed of those beards."

Wu Xiaomei didn't respond and lowered her head slightly.

Wu Zheng couldn't get a response, so he had to find another method, "Or... if you are not happy, then we won't teach you. Stay at home and I will support you..."

Wu Xiaomei shook her head, then stuffed the clothes in her hand into Wu Zheng's hand, and said, "Dad, Simin, Jinxuan are both teaching, I don't want to be alone at home."

Wu Zheng could understand that the woman in the boudoir who had never left the door and had no time to leave the door, once she went out for a while, she could no longer hold back her temperament and could not be quiet.

What's more, Wu Xiaomei didn't live in the boudoir since she was a child.

Wu Zheng was upset, and he really couldn't think of a way to help his younger sister in this matter.

You said that if you were a younger brother, you would take him with you or put him in the military academy and do whatever you want. But the little girl is a girl, so she would not look like she would with you.

Although there are female teachers in the academy now, this case has not been opened in the official government yet. Besides, Wu Xiaomei may not be able to do it for the time being. She doesn't have to feel the pressure brought by people around her in the academy.

Wu Zheng touched the clothes on his hand and felt a little guilty, "Young sister, don't worry, let me think about it and see if I can find something suitable for you."

Wu Xiaomei nodded and said softly: "Thank you, brother, I'll go back to the house first."

Looking at Wu Xiaomei's delicate back, Wu Zheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Wu Xiaomei's back: "My sister makes good clothes, why don't you... open a garment store and try it. If you are not happy, I will think of something else?"

Wu Xiaomei paused and turned around and said, "Brother is confused. Now my brother is the prince. My sister is going to open a shop. This will make my brother lose face if I say it."

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "Brother is not afraid, our Wu family doesn't have so many rules... Hiss."

This cow really didn't dare to brag loudly, and Dad Wu was sitting in the room.

Wu Xiaomei pursed her lips and said, "But my embroidery worker can't compete with those craftsmen in Hangzhou City. She loses her face even if she doesn't have the least amount of time."

Wu Zheng said: "Just say if you want to, just do it, do it well and do it badly, and say something else."

Wu Xiaomei hesitated and said, "Why... ask what my father means?"

Wu Zheng stepped forward and said, "Don't, I don't want to listen to another lesson for another night."

Wu Xiaomei bit her lip and said, "But housing prices in Hangzhou are soaring. Opening a store requires a lot of money. How could she hide it from her father?"

Wu Zheng laughed, "Silly sister, my brother is the prince, this is just a silver, my brother will give me."

But I really feel guilty. After four years, I gave the Wu family's fields and shops to those people, and defeated the Wu family. Although Shaoxing Prefecture has been recovered, the fields in Wuzhuang are still planted by the people who were rescued by Wu Zheng. Wu's father has not even received any grain every year. To this day, my father and sister live in this small yard, which is a world of difference from Wuzhuang.

It’s not that Wu Zheng has no money and filial piety, but his father often refuses him as soon as he speaks.

Even when Wu Zheng wanted to prepare for Jiangnan College, his father was worried that the college would be too big and that the Wu family could not afford the money.

People will die if they compare themselves, and goods will be thrown away if they compare themselves.

Wu Zheng himself was the same. Since his traces, his only property was 2.5% of the shares of the money house (this refers to the Jiangnan money house, which is different from the Chamber of Commerce Money House. Wu Zheng does not occupy any shares of the Chamber of Commerce). Now Jiangnan money houses have more than a thousand branches, spread all over the north and south coasts, but Wu Zheng has not even received a tael of silver. All dividends are managed by Mo Zheng Nian to fill the holes in the Finance Department.

The so-called "A huge fortune in your hand is not enough to spend a penny in your pocket, so it is most appropriate to describe Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng knew that it was not a good phenomenon to be separated from public and private affairs, but there was indeed no other good way at the moment, so he could only take advantage of it.

Therefore, the thoughts that emerged in Wu Zheng's mind at this time became even more firm.

We must gradually separate public and private affairs, so that we and our family must also have a reliable home business.

Only in this way can we truly achieve public is public and private is private.

Wu Zheng said to Wu Xiaomei: "As long as you are willing to do it... you have to believe in yourself. Of course, the most important thing is to believe in your brother. If you want to be famous, you will make money first. Brother, please guarantee that you will earn an unparalleled dowry within two or three years."

As he was talking, Wu Zheng joked himself. Thinking about it, it was a very strange thing that a dignified prince was discussing with his sister about opening a shop to earn dowry money.

But Wu Zheng was very determined, and he knew very well that this dowry would definitely be awesome.

Wu Xiaomei was so moved by Wu Zheng's incitement. She smiled and said, "But I can't compare to the skills of other people's old tailors."

"No." Wu Zheng shook his finger and said seriously, "Old tailor, although the old craftsmen have good skills, they are worse than you... because they absolutely cannot have a brother like me who can do it."

"Ph." Wu Xiaomei spat lightly and was amused.

He did it as soon as he said that, Wu Zheng pulled Wu Xiaomei and ran to the west wing of the backyard under the surprised gaze of Mr. Wu, Qian Jinxuan and Zhou Simin.

Dad Wu was so shocked that his bamboo chopsticks fell to the ground, and slapped his thigh and said, "Hey——Look, what's the matter?"

Qian Jinxuan and Zhou Simin looked at each other and saw a strange look in each other's eyes.

The two almost said in unison: "Go and have a look?"
