Chapter 377 Sowing Seeds and Reaping Effects
To prevent civilians from getting hurt, he gave a wink to his nearby companions.
Then, they swarmed forward and precisely apprehended the few troublemakers who were jumping the loudest.
The silver-haired old woman excitedly walked to the left: "Young man, you're very skilled! You must hold on tight and not let them get away!"
The young man she was referring to said, "Be careful..."
The silver-haired old woman ignored him, annoyed by his noise, and jumped to the right: "We must deliver them to General He. I suspect they are spies!"
He Wuyu: ...
If she weren't certain she didn't know this mother-in-law, she would have suspected that the mother-in-law was someone she had arranged.
As the suspicious person was being taken away, He Wuyu cleared his throat, drawing the attention of the crowd.
Outside the light screen, Zheng Xun looked at He Wuyu with admiration in his eyes.
She didn't even need to use the light screen to see that He Wuyu had long been prepared to deal with all of this.
Such a wise and brave character died with regrets in the original timeline because he misplaced his trust. It's a pity to think about it.
But it's okay, she's here now.
Those in the Dayong court who harbored disloyal intentions were all eliminated by her, allowing them to fight with peace of mind on the front lines. The court would no longer let them down.
In the light screen, He Wuyu approached the crowd, his tone lacking the usual sternness of a lecture, speaking as if to a neighbor, gentle and casual: "I have something to ask you all."
An older man chimed in, "General, please speak!"
When will the grain shop around the corner start distributing rice and flour?
Seven days ago.
He Wuyu wanted to say something, but a commoner spoke up first: "I knew it! Aren't businessmen just trying to make money? Why do they have to do charity, and what a coincidence that they started doing this right after General He's accident?"
"Yes! General He, you must be careful! You've definitely been set up!"
"They deliberately lured us here so we would stumble upon the scene!"
He Wuyu and his guards exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise on each other's faces.
Butler He chuckled: "Oh my! As expected of the people of Liaozhou, they're really quick-witted! To tell you the truth, the owner of this pharmacy spread the word that he has the medicinal herbs to detoxify General He."
The guard nodded repeatedly: "Who says otherwise? He used this to threaten our general into coming to see him!"
"The general is deeply worried."
"It's also because we don't want any evil people lurking in Liaozhou City."
"That's why we made this special trip again."
"Who would have thought that this blind man would die inexplicably right in front of us after saying only a few words?"
"Then suddenly a bunch of people appeared, and several of them were very certain that our general had killed someone."
"Injustice! A tremendous injustice!"
The guards and Butler He explained the matter clearly in a tacit manner, one after the other.
Everyone knows that since the incident occurred, they haven't had a single opportunity to give their testimonies.
Their behavior was also an attempt to prove to the people that what they said was true.
Only someone who witnessed the truth firsthand could recount the process so fluently, and even match up the details.
He Wuyu's lips curled up: "I thought I'd have to spend a lot of time explaining myself today, but I didn't expect..."
She raised her hands, clasped them together, and bowed deeply: "Thank you all for your trust. I am deeply grateful."
"Oh my! What are you doing, General He? We can't possibly accept your courtesy!" It was that silver-haired old woman, who was particularly nimble on her feet, who ran over and pulled He Wuyu up. "I have to thank the He family for opening the school. My granddaughter and grandson went there to study, and most of the principles I understand were taught to me by her!"
"Yes, yes, yes! My daughter also studied at the He family's school, and she even taught me! Now I'm a literate person too!"
“I’m different! I studied at the He Family School.”
The He family's school evolved from a private academy.
At first, they only accepted members of the He family, relatives, friends, and servants.
Because the teachers they hired were very knowledgeable, and the He family would occasionally teach martial arts there, military generals also began sending their children to them.
One of the ancestors of the He family encountered a bright but uneducated child on the road. Moved by the fact that there were so many hidden gems in the world, he conceived the idea of expanding the private school and introducing commoners to the school.
Thus, the family tradition of building schools has been passed down through generations in the He family.
He Wuyu witnessed his mother running around for the school when he was a child. Under her influence, he also took this matter seriously. After the current emperor came to power, he never hesitated to support the He family financially. As a result, the He family's school grew bigger and bigger. Because it did not charge tuition, people thought that they could send their children to school and earn money while they were busy.
The He family's school has been expanded and expanded, and now even the street vendors can recite a few lines of poetry.
Maintaining the school's operation was not easy, and He Wuyu even considered giving up when the school was in dire need of funds.
But after visiting the school and hearing the children's clear and melodious reading voices, she thought she should grit her teeth and persevere a little longer.
And so they persevered until now, until that initial thought turned into a good deed, averting a storm for her.
Outside the light screen, the emperor glanced at Zheng Xun.
Zheng Xun once said that one day, everyone in the world would have access to books.
Since he relinquished power to her, the construction of official schools has never ceased.
As an emperor, he admitted that he had also felt fear.
He was also afraid that there were too many smart people in the world, making it difficult to manage them.
If a thousand people have a thousand different ideas, will the power of Dayong be able to be used in one direction?
He fears they are smart, but he fears even more that they are not smart enough.
Trusting Zheng Xun, he didn't stop him, but he also never expected to see what the future might look like today.
Zheng Xun didn't pay attention to his gaze; she only felt that she hadn't done enough.
He Wuyu had to maintain military spending while also ensuring education in Liaocheng, which made it seem as if she, a person in the capital, hadn't done her best.
She can do even better.
She did not want today's prosperity to be merely a castle in the air; she needed all kinds of talent to accelerate production and development.
Don't rush, take it slow. She's still young, she has plenty of time.
Inside the light screen, some of the people lowered their heads guiltily because of He Wuyu's sincerity.
They themselves knew that they had their doubts.
The silver-haired grandmother proudly puffed out her chest.
She hears her son praising the He family army every day; how could she not know who General He is?
She was quite clever and never doubted General He.
Self-satisfaction ignited a surge of enthusiasm within her, and she walked into the pharmacy with a beaming smile: "Oh dear, the blind man is dead, and I don't know where General He's required medicine is kept. General, could you describe what the herbs look like, and I'll help you find it!"
Her words brought a sudden realization to the people who had been lost in a jumble of emotions.
"I am coming too."
"Me! Me! Me! I have the best eyesight!"
He Wuyu smiled and shook his head, then picked out two herbs from the pile: "The herbs I need are similar to these two."
Seeing the people rushing forward to identify the medicinal herbs, she also found a secluded corner to search.
