Liu Ningxin had a fever, and the fever was quite severe. The imperial doctor came to see it and prescribed medicine, but Liu Ningxin didn't know what was going on this time, her condition never improved, and the fever always came and went. She lay lazily in bed all day, with no strength in her body, only feeling tired and flustered, her heart was stuffy and her head was dizzy.

In a daze, she couldn't help but think of her past life, and even recalled several fragments. It's strange to say, those times have been separated for a long time, and they are memories that she doesn't want to remember, so she deliberately forgets them, although she hasn't completely forgotten them, but there are only some vague impressions and pictures left.

This time, the picture in her mind suddenly became clear, and even Antonhua's face appeared several times. 'Looking' at An Donghua, Liu Ningxin's brows subconsciously wrinkled even tighter.

Anton Hua looks very good, the second prince Anton Li is already handsome and extraordinary, but Anton Hua is much better looking than him, and his facial features are very perfect. When Liu Ningxin first married him in her previous life, although she was dissatisfied with Anton Hua's identity, she was still completely fascinated by Anton Hua on the wedding night.

But when they arrived in Jiaozhou, Anton Hua gradually changed. He spoke to her very little, and even the smile on his face became less. Anton Hua is always with those strategists, Liu Ningxin doesn't know what they usually do, but she vaguely realizes that Anton Hua must be dissatisfied with the status quo.

Therefore, although she was dissatisfied with Anton Hua's coldness, she still hoped that Anton Hua could really make a career and get that position. In that case, she will be the queen of the world! Unfortunately, Anton-hwa did not succeed in the end. And she was forced to apologize with death.

Liu Ningxin recalled her previous life, and her heart became uncomfortable. She didn't feel that she was wrong in designing not to marry Antonhua. Did she know that Antonhua was going to die, and she had to take the initiative to jump into the fire pit? She's right! But the days after marrying the second prince were completely different from what she imagined. She felt unwilling again!

I think she married Anton Hua at the beginning, although Anton Hua is just a disgusted prince, but she is the only hostess in the entire inner courtyard of the palace, and there is no side concubine and concubine to have a room, she is the rightful master, and no one dares to disobey her meaning, what kind of happiness is that?

Thinking about it now, how can she not be sad?

So Liu Ningxin thought about it, and couldn't help but think of Shang Jinxiu, who married An Donghua. Because of Anton Hua's coldness. She once suspected that Antonhua liked men, and she had some sympathy for Shang Jinxiu. It's just that this sympathy is mixed with a bit of schadenfreude.

Now thinking of Shang Jinxiu, Liu Ningxin's mind has become complicated. She was actually quite uncomfortable, and although her brain was groggy, she was very clear. She couldn't help but wonder how Shang Jinxiu and An Donghua got along, was they as respectful as ice in her previous life, or did An Donghua ignore Shang Jinxiu at all?

In her selfish heart, she didn't want Shang Jinxiu and An Donghua to get along well. He even couldn't help but maliciously guess that Shang Jinxiu's life in Jiaozhou was not good. After all, she is the daughter of the Liu family, and her identity is as different from Shang Jinxiu. Antonhua should respect her, but what is Shang Jinxiu's background? How could Anton-hwa take her seriously?

Thinking about it made her feel much better. Even the qi that had been holding in his chest had dissipated a lot, and it was not as stuffy as before.

However. Shang Jinxiu's situation at this time was completely different from what Liu Ningxin thought. She has a lot of business in her hands, on the surface. Secretly. In the business on the surface, many large and small nobles in Jiaozhou have invested in the shares, of course, they did not pay out the silver, but only helped to deal with the relationship in the early stage, and the silver was not out at all, and there were a lot of dividends every month. Among them, the largest shareholder is naturally the Zheng family.

These people used to be very proud, and they felt that Shang Jinxiu was simply a money-making tool in their hands. In fact, the so-called dotted relationship is just to restrain his subordinates from making trouble, and all the operations are all in charge of Shang Jinxiu's stewards.

When the Zheng family wanted to deal with An Donghua before, these people also thought that when An Donghua fell, the shop in Shang Jinxiu's hand would become theirs, and the Zheng family would inevitably take the lion's share at that time, and they should be able to share a lot of benefits.

Who knew that the Zheng family suddenly collapsed overnight, but Anton Hua had the last laugh directly, and the entire Jiaozhou situation changed, and the master was completely changed.

As soon as this situation changed, they were terrified, for fear that they would be the next to die. So without waiting for Shang Jinxiu and An Donghua to make a move, they took the initiative to visit the palace, not only returning the shares in their hands, but also selling their property to collect all the dividends they have received from the beginning to the present, and they want to return them.

After Shang Jinxiu and An Donghua discussed, they took all the shares in their hands, but only half of the silver was collected, as a contribution to the education of Jiaozhou by the nobles of Jiaozhou. Originally, some people were quite unwilling, but when they saw that Shang Jinxiu and An Donghua only received half of the silver, or in the name of their donations, they felt happy.

If they were asked to donate money or materials or something, they would definitely be unwilling, but now they didn't expect to get the silver back, but as a result, they could not only get back half of the silver, but also get a good reputation, how could they not be happy?

To say that this academy is definitely for the benefit of all people, and these nobles, big and small, are not fools, of course they know this very well. It's just clear that they have long been accustomed to exploiting the people, where are they willing to go out and set up academies for the children of ordinary people to study?

Now that Anton Hua is willing to do it, they don't need to pay for it, and they have given them a good reputation, these nobles, big and small, suddenly feel comfortable and comfortable, and they are not so dissatisfied with Anton Hua being in charge of Jiaozhou.

An Donghua and Shang Jinxiu have discussed, and the most important thing at the moment, in addition to developing troops, is to govern Jiaozhou well, so that the people can live a good life. In this way, with the example of Jiaozhou, the people in other places have a comparison, and if they want to seize power in the future, it will be easier to sit in that position.

The people don't care who is the emperor, what they care about is whether they can live a stable life, whether they can be fed and clothed, free from starvation and cold, and whether their children can have a good future. This is the most simple and simple wish, they don't ask for much, yet many people can't realize their wishes.

There are so few academies that ordinary people can't get into it at all, and many people can't read and write all their lives, so naturally they can't have a good future. Literacy was very important in later generations, and it was even more important in this ancient world where people who valued reading.

An Donghua and Shang Jinxiu just want to build more academies in Jiaozhou, so that ordinary children can also go in to study and read. At the same time, the development of Shantang will at least save more people from starvation, even if it cannot ensure that everyone can be fed and clothed.

Shang Jinxiu looted a lot of things from the Zheng family, and later the Zheng family had an accident, and the private treasury of those daughters-in-law was raided, and she and An Donghua combined these things, part of the silver was used to raise soldiers, part of it was used as a donation for the charity hall, and part of it was used as a fund for the establishment of the book. The rest, Antonhua directly put it into the public account of Jiaozhou, deposited it in the treasury, and took it out when needed.

The Zheng family has a lot of precious medicinal materials, as well as some antique treasures and gems, some of which An Donghua selected and directly belonged to the private treasury of the palace, including the pair of thousand-year-old mountain ginseng.

The notice of the establishment of the academy was posted all over Jiaozhou early in the morning, and although the people in Jiaozhou were fierce, there were many aspiring scholars. In the past, these people were depressed, but now when they heard the news that An Donghua was going to establish a college, they all ran away with their burdens.

Shang Jinxiu didn't mix this matter too much, she just gave some advice, then left it alone and let Antonhua take care of it. Anton Hua already had a strategist under his hands, and after the Zheng family fell, many people came to him, and he could use more people.

Anton Hua selected a special person from the people under him to be responsible for this matter. As for himself, there are actually a lot of things to deal with at all. In the past, he didn't really control the real power of Jiaozhou, although he was the king of Jiaozhou, he was actually a nominal prince, just an ornament.

The Zheng family doesn't buy his account, and they usually deliberately fool him with some irrelevant things, and the really important thing is not to let him interfere at all. Now it's different, he has the real power, and there are more things to worry about every day, plus he wants to make some achievements, and the people below are all serious, either to build roads here, or to build rivers there.

These people are also cunning, the Zheng family was defeated, they all guessed that Anton Hua had a lot of silver in his hand, so they could naturally toss hard, and they didn't worry that Anton Hua would not be able to come up with the silver. It's just that what they mention is also the top priority, and they are not deliberately fooling, and Anton Hua really can't refuse.

Jiaozhou is mountainous, so there are many mountain villages, these mountain villages are not even passable, and it is very inconvenient to enter and exit. Not only that, except for a few big cities in Jiaozhou, the city is paved with stone slabs, and some other small cities are still primitive dirt roads, which are muddy when it rains. It's okay in the city, it's even worse outside the city.

However, these people also understand that it is not easy to pave the stone slabs in various cities in Jiaozhou, and it is simply unrealistic to repair all the roads!

Anton Hua was very embarrassed, laying the slate was too laborious and costly, even if he had silver in his hand, it was not spent like this!

Shang Jinxiu gave him an idea, mixing sand and cement with gravel, and it would be much easier to build roads! Although it is also a big project, it is too simple compared to laying stone slabs! It is difficult and troublesome to extract smooth slate from the mountains, and it comes with all kinds of dangers, but it is easy to extract gravel, sand is easy to find, and as for cement, her kiln factory has actually fired it.

Anton Hua was relieved when he got Shang Jinxiu's advice, but some people couldn't be happy at all. (To be continued......)
