"I ...... But by His Majesty's orders. Yang Ai hesitated for a moment and said softly.

"I haven't treated you as an outsider all along, so it's okay to say what you think." Zhu Youxiao encouraged.

"I want to learn from the little lady to follow the emperor to look around, and when love is in the prime of life, she will make up her mind to come to the women's college as a gentleman." Yang Ai said softly.

"That's fine, as the saying goes: it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and it's also a good thing to go out and learn for a long time." Zhu Youxiao agreed.

"In that case, I will do as His Majesty says." Zhang Yan said.

"Isn't there enough gentlemen in girls' schools?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"According to Your Majesty's intentions, we will recruit new students on the first day of September this year, and we will also recruit two more classes of first-year freshmen, and the first thing we need is a female teacher, and the concubine has been busy with this matter recently." Zhang Yan said.

"Isn't it easy to recruit?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The concubine will find a way to solve it." Zhang Yan said.

"Where's the student?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The source of students is not a problem, now the reputation of the girls' school can be said to be resounding throughout the empire, since the girls' school decided to recruit new students, both court officials and private businessmen have squeezed their heads to send the girls of their families to the girls' school, a few days ago, my father also wanted to help him intercede with a few businessman friends, but was rejected by the concubine." Zhang Yan said.

"Baozhu, the girls' school can have today, you should take the lead." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"The concubine doesn't dare to take credit, all of this is the emperor's credit." Zhang Yan said modestly.

"Is there still anyone who opposes girls' schools?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

The girls' school was run by Zhu Youxiao, and since the girls' school was held, all the exhortations were left by him, and the people who advised him saw that it was useless, so they decided to take the line of the queen, who was the honorary principal of the girls' school, and now that the girls' school has decided to expand its enrollment, it will definitely attract some people's opposition.

"Since the girls' school is preparing to expand its enrollment, there are ministers who hope that the concubines will give up this decision." Zhang Yan said.

"Don't worry about them, there is always a group of people in the empire who are always unable to accept new things, and the girls' school must be opened, and by next year, I will expand the first grade to five classes." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Do you want to expand?" Zhang Yan asked suspiciously.

"Well, in the future, each grade will remain at five classes." Zhu Youxiao said.

……

On the first day of the first month of March, Man Gui couldn't wait to lead the army into Ordos, at this time Ordos was in a mess, and the people who stayed in Ordos were almost in a desperate situation, so they were just about to "kill and cannibalize".

"Order, the whole army is on alert, to prevent the rebellious people from grabbing food; second, to issue notices to provide relief to the victims; Third, recruit the people and build the city of Ordos. Man Gui paused for a moment, and then said, "The third point is postponed for the time being. "After Man Gui arrived in Ordos, he immediately rectified Ordos according to the will of the imperial court.

The news that Man Gui had opened a warehouse in Ordos to help the victims spread like the wind throughout Ordos, and the herdsmen who had no food or drink rushed to Ordos.

"I heard that the Ming army opened a warehouse in Ordos for disaster relief, and after hearing the news, the troops scattered in Ordos all went to join the Ming army." It was Lin Dan Khan's right-wing chief official Huluk Zhaisang who spoke.

"Do you want to go too?" Tashhai asked directly. Tashhai was the left-wing chief of Lindan Khan.

"I do want to go, the Great Khan has fled to Qinghai, let us stay here, and now we are almost finished eating cattle and sheep, and if we go down we will eat horses, and if we suffer another disaster this year, we will have to eat people." Huluk Zhaisang said.

"Surrender to the Ming army, our subordinates will have to be separated, and when the time comes, we can only go to other places to serve as Ming court officials, you have to think clearly." Tashhai said.

Although Zhu Youxiao's policy in Mongolia was supported by the people at the bottom, it was not popular with the nobles, which was also the reason why the Mongolian tribes on the steppe were willing to move away, or take refuge in Houjin, rather than in the Ming Dynasty.

"I have thought about it clearly, if you go down, the subordinates will starve to death, and if you surrender to the Ming Court or not, the result will be the same, at least the subordinates who defect to the Ming Court will survive." Huluk Zhaisang said firmly.

"Since you have thought it through, then I will not keep you, our brothers for so many years, you can leave with your subordinates, and I will think about it again." Tashhai said.

"Well, I only brought the food on the road to Ordos, and left the rest for you, hoping that Changsheng Heaven will bless you and let you survive." Huluk Zhaisang nodded and said.

……

By opening a warehouse for disaster relief, Man Gui quickly gathered tens of thousands of Lin Dan Khan's troops scattered in Ordos. And with the help of Ma Shilong, tens of thousands of displaced people from Shaanxi were recruited into Ordos.

Huluk Zhaisang was the highest official under Lin Dan Khan who took the initiative to vote after Man Gui entered Ordos, and Man Gui personally received Hulu Kezhai Sang.

"Your appointment should come in a month." Man Gui said.

"General, I don't know where I'm going to go? Whether you can confide in one or two makes me feel a little bit at the bottom of my heart. After Huluke Zhaisang came to Ordos, he knew that the current Ming was not only stronger than the previous Ming, but also more popular, and he saw with his own eyes that his subordinates were grateful for receiving a bowl of porridge and kowtowed to thanks.

"It should be to Daningwei or Quanningwei, these two places are establishing a government and urgently need officials." Man Gui said.

"General Xie instructs." Huluk Zhaisang said.

While Huluke Zhaisang was chatting with Man Gui, the Relief Department for the Victims outside the barracks officially posted a notice, announcing the beginning of the implementation of cash-for-work measures.

"By the will of His Majesty, the city of Ordos will be rebuilt in three days, and all the people who are willing to participate in the rebuilding of Ordos will have three meals a day ......."

"Official, I'll sign up." As soon as the notice was posted, someone immediately said.

"Official, I'll sign up too."

……

Although it is now in the open warehouse for disaster relief, but the food every day is gruel, and it is made of crushed potatoes or sweet potatoes, and each person can only drink one bowl per meal.

"I'm only responsible for reading the notice, not for registration."

"Where can I sign up?"

"Sign up tomorrow at the Disaster Relief Office."

……

It took only one day for the news of the cash-for-work payment to spread throughout the camp, and the next morning, men, women, and children rushed to sign up. The grassland has suffered disasters one after another, and the people at the bottom, the most miserable people have not eaten a full meal for more than a year, and the slightly better ones have not eaten a full meal for nearly half a year.
