Gongcheng County is on the east bank of Leshui, one hundred and fifty miles southwest to Guizhou, that is, Guilin in later generations, Guizhou is the most prosperous and wealthy state capital with the largest population in Lingnan West Road, its development is very early, and the land of the Central Plains has long been no different.

In the former Tang Dynasty, Gui, Rong and Yong were set up in Lingnan West Road, although Lingnan West Road Jiedu Governance was placed in Yongguan, that is, Yongzhou, Nanning in later generations, but the strongest economic and military strength has always been Guiguan.

Occupy Gongcheng County, the southwest can be with the Hunan Chu Qi army to attack Guizhou, south to Zhaozhou, it is the opening of the north gate of Lingnan West Road, the geographical location is very important, and it is the land of tea country, but the Han State only stationed here five hundred Yue cavalry, although the Yue cavalry is the elite of the Han forbidden army, but it can also be seen that the Han State has some mentality of managing the conquered land to the original Ma Chu land, and does not really regard it as its own homeland.

The population in Gongcheng County is not large, more than 2,000 households, this is still because of the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, some immigrants migrated from the north.

However, Gongcheng City is relatively prosperous, and there are large and small tea shops everywhere, but although these tea shops are in the tea country, they cannot collect tea from the tea farmers privately, but must buy it from the Han Salt and Iron Transfer Tea Envoy after the tea farmers pay the tea, and most of the tea leaves of these tea shops in Gongcheng County are sold to foreign tea merchants.

In the land of Lingnan, eating tea is basically a luxury ornament that can only be enjoyed by the upper class, or it is sold to foreign Hu merchants who come to Guangzhou to trade in Xingwangfu.

……

The sky is full of stars, in the flower garden of Yahou in Gongcheng County, the flowers and plants are full of spring.

In the small tent, Lu Ning was lying comfortably, in the crook of her right arm, Su Xiaoxiao looked shy, she was held in his arms, her little head didn't dare to raise up, wearing a white skirt and white socks in the palace, she is now, like a very pure and lovely student girl, which makes Lu Ning's heart tender, and slightly evil.

Gongcheng County's furniture, beds, etc., did not wash and dry for a few days, Lu Ning would not let a woman like Su Xiaoxiao, who he regarded as a concubine, move in, it was better to sleep in a simple tent clean and hygienic.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Su Xiaoxiao's shy appearance like a schoolgirl, obviously the little girl, she also knew what it meant tonight, and Lu Ning's body was rippling with waves of heat.

"Xiaoxiao, in a few days, I will send you to the Bianjing Women's Academy, make more friends, when I am not there, you also have company, there are a few little girls in the capital, who can be your good friends." Seeing that her student's uniform seemed to be an internal one, Lu Ning suddenly saved something.

I just received a letter from Concubine De today, and there are some ridiculous things in the letter, such as sending Qingcheng beauties to Lu Ning's side and not talking about it, mainly about the women's school.

The letter was sent on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, and it was not deliberately accelerated, so it arrived today after nearly a month.

Concubine Lide said that yesterday, that is, the sixteenth day of the first month just after the Lantern Festival, the long-prepared Royal Women's Academy officially opened.

The women's academy has been planned for a long time, and even two years ago, there were rumors, but it has been tepid, no one objected, and no one catered to it.

Until Concubine De personally inquired about the matter behind the scenes, saying that her sister was stubborn and wanted to be sent to the women's school.

When the news came out, the government and the opposition were shaken for a while.

Subsequently, there were palace attendants who went to all parts of the country and selected a hundred seven or eight-year-old girls as female officials, saying that they were going to start from the lowest class of the women's academy, and none of these girls were not little beauty embryos.

In addition, the Son of Heaven rejected the proposal of his subordinates to choose a good person to fill the harem several times.

The various measures of this women's school hall exploded in one fell swoop.

The women's school hall not only learns women's red and reading and writing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has new learning content such as arithmetic, and even heard that if necessary, there will be riding and archery learning, of course, it is just for entertainment.

Thinking of the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards Xinxue, and even the Xinxue itself, many subjects, the Son of Heaven is a saint who opens the door to the subject.

And those hundred girls, who heard that those who had excellent grades, would be selected as female officials of the inner palace.

This, this women's academy, I'm afraid it won't be the place for the Son of Heaven to choose a good person to fill the inner palace in the future?

What's more, even if you can't be elected to the inner palace and enter this women's academy, you can get acquainted with a royal nobleman like Concubine De's sister, where can you have such an opportunity?

So suddenly, the nobles and gentry in the capital have signed up for the girls of the school-age family, mostly girls who are over ten years old and unmarried.

In this way, the women's academy is no longer a place for women to learn some skills at all, after all, these women from noble families, after marrying in the future, will not be able to show their heads again, let alone say that they will work.

Basically, in the eyes of the nobles and gentry in the capital, the women's academy is a place to borrow family women to make friends with each other, and if they are lucky enough, their family women are elected to the harem, then of course it is the emperor's great ancestor blessing.

Lu Ning knows all this, but no matter what, it's good that the Women's Academy can be supported, from a historical point of view, it is a great start.

Although Lu Ning also doesn't like the female boxers of later generations, but in the case of maintaining moral standards, it is still necessary to do what should be done, not to mention that the liberation of women's productivity is also to go with the flow, and wait for the day when the water will come to fruition.

Of course, Lu Ning is also a little helpless about the current situation of the women's school, he is not very popular with pure literati, and he doesn't know how the history books of later generations will comment on the women's school, and it is possible to distort it into the wine pool meat forest that he did for the beauty pageant.

These are beyond your control.

As for the first 100 schoolchildren who cultivated female officials, they are all beautiful embryos, and there is no way, at any time and in any era, there are innate advantages in appearance, and girls who look beautiful and lovely make people feel that they are better qualified and smarter, not to mention the group of female officials, representing the façade of the inner palace, and it is definitely advisable to have a good image and good temperament.

However, in the royal territories, such as Zhaoyuanwei, Donghai City, etc., there are more and more female officials.

Speaking of which, I don't know if the history books of later generations will compare themselves with Liu Gang of the Southern Han Dynasty, Liu Gang likes to use eunuchs, and he likes to use unmarried female officials to manage the royal territory.

Although it is true that this is not the case, today's productivity, men are much better than women, and women can do the work that women can do, so that men can be liberated and add more value to social resources.

pondering, Lu Ning shook his head.

In her ear, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly whispered, "I, I don't really want to go to ......"

Looking sideways, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were a little red, and he obviously hesitated for a long time before he dared to say his true words.

Lu Ning was stunned, Su Xiaoxiao was different from Tang Yuniang, Jiao Cailian and other experienced women, even if Lian'er had her mother by her side.

If she doesn't accompany Su Xiaoxiao, she is actually very lonely with no real friends, of course, maybe she is very used to this kind of life, and she doesn't feel anything, just like the concubines of the inner palace, now the palace gate is not out of the door, and they all live a taste of happiness and respect, and after they are fortunate a few times a year, even they hope that they will hurry up and go on an expedition or something, and they are afraid of themselves.

However, I still hope that Su Xiaoxiao will go to the capital and live some of the lives that a girl should have with Yiyi, Amiduo, etc., and they should be friends in the same class.

But now seeing Su Xiaoxiao's pitiful and cute little appearance with red circles and even a small mouth, Lu Ning was amused, and hurriedly coaxed her, "Okay, okay, let's not go, then don't go, Xiaoxiao is now my little heart baby......"

Where has Su Xiaoxiao heard such words, let alone say it, it was the doting words spoken by her father-like father-like father, who was happy for a while, and her heart was about to melt.

Then, I saw Daddy's lips slowly poking over, gently pouting her little lips, her small body stiffened, her eyes widened, she saw Daddy's eyes, and the strange look in his eyes, she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, quickly closed her eyes, happy and frightened, but endured that kind of unspeakable feeling, and responded obediently......

Daddy's breathing became heavier and heavier, and she was nervous, so she could only clench her little fists, waiting for the unknown to come......
