Your Majesty, the princess ran away again!

Chapter 222 Brain Cleansing

The lower officials and the heads of the noble families were all unhappy after hearing this, "Princess, are you planning to abandon us all?"

"So what? Do you think there's anything special about you that can catch my eye?" Mu Nanyan didn't care about them at all. She wouldn't feel guilty even if she killed them all. She counted carefully this morning and found that none of these people didn't have something dirty on their hands.

Mu Nanyan continued, "Since you ask, I will tell you clearly that I don't care about the money you noble families earn. In a few days, the doctor and the shopkeeper will come from the capital, and they are all my people. Now that Jiangcheng is open, you can go out and listen to my reputation and the origin of Princess Dingguo. You don't have to worry about Jiangcheng's industry. Jiangyanlou will be renamed Huaxiangrong in the future. By then, Jiangcheng will be better than it is now."

A minor official stepped forward and said, "You can use your own assets to cover the assets of the aristocratic family, but we are all officials appointed by His Majesty through the imperial examination. Even if you are a princess... well..."

Mu Nanyan waved her hands in annoyance. Why did this guy like to eat grapes while talking? He must be choking to death.

"The princess can kill people in the street!" Another official stood up. They were actually all scared. If Zhang Xuan's legs could be broken, who would be the next?

"City Lord Song, please tell everyone about this man's crimes." Mu Nanyan sat down again. Zhang Xuan had fainted due to the pain in his leg injury.

"Let me talk about the most recent one. In January of the year before last, Lord Wang forcibly abducted a girl in Zuoxiang, East City. By the time I found out, the girl had already died. In March of the year before last, Lord Wang's eldest son killed a prostitute in Jiangyan Tower and the matter was left unresolved. In May of the year before last..."

Song Qingyan told him about his crimes over the past year, until his lips turned white. From raping women to beating people in the street, it was so exciting that the people below were all indignant.

Wang Hui knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. He did not expect that these things would be known to others. They were all trivial matters and would not be known to others. However, his son was still in the hands of the princess. The purpose of his coming here today was to rescue his son. This was his only life.

"Okay, give Lord Wang some face and say less." Mu Nanyan ordered someone to feed Song Qingyan a glass of water.

Song Qingyan was extremely happy. He had a great day today. From supervising the execution to listing the crimes, all of them were the scenes he had imagined in his dreams before. After so many years, Jiangcheng finally welcomed a new master, otherwise he would have thought that the emperor had forgotten about this place.

"Why do you still want to protect him?" Mu Nanyan glanced at the officials. They were all cowards. No one dared to continue speaking. Their heads were full of thoughts about what evidence Song Qingyan had committed and whether he deserved the death penalty.

"Don't think about it. None of you can escape. Although I have never lived in Jiangcheng, we have City Lord Song. City Lord Song has been pretending for so many years and has already recorded your crimes. It is just right to send you to Kyoto for execution. It is also a lesson for the officials in Kyoto. You must obey the law in your actions and words in the future."

Mu Nanyan's words were equivalent to a direct death sentence for them. Some of them wanted to sneak back home, but they were stopped by Yuan Si, "Without the princess's order, none of you can leave."

"I am a person who keeps my word. I will trouble you to write a memorial tonight about the crimes of City Lord Song and his men so that I can communicate with my father. Someone, take them all away first."

Song Qingyan said, "The princess is right. I will write it when I get home tonight and it will be in your hands tomorrow morning."

Mu Nanyan saw that the time was almost up. Those who should be killed had been killed, and those who should be captured had been captured. It was time to go back. She would be busy today.

Mu Nanyan stood up and walked to the stage, picking up the loudspeaker again: "There are vacancies in Jiangcheng. If there are willing and capable people, I am willing to give everyone a chance in ten days. Of course, it is not only for the people of Jiangcheng, nor is it only for men. Women with knowledge and ability can also participate in the Jiangcheng imperial examination. The knowledge I refer to is not just the knowledge in books. Tomorrow at noon, the rules of the Jiangcheng imperial examination and the official positions will be announced here. I hope everyone will participate enthusiastically."

"City Lord Song, let's go."

When the people saw that she was about to leave, they all made way for her. It was unknown who knelt first. When Mu Nanyan stepped onto the carriage, she saw the people kneeling on the ground. "Everyone, stand up. Jiangcheng law abolishes the ritual of kneeling and replaces it with bowing."

"Thank you so much, Princess!"

"Thank you so much, Princess!"

The people on the ground kowtowed one after another, and Mu Nanyan did not stop them. She could see that everyone had been holding it in for a long time and were too excited to express themselves, but these people were still the most simple and honest.

Mu Nanyan entered the carriage and lifted the curtain. "Everyone go back. Those who are interested please prepare well. I will leave first."

As the carriage moved forward, the voices of the people could still be vaguely heard. Song Qingyan was deeply shocked. "I haven't heard so many people talking in many years."

"Don't worry, as long as you keep your original intention, Jiangcheng will get better and better." It feels really good to be loved by the people.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Song Qingyan said hello to her and left, anxious to go back to write a memorial, as if he was afraid that Mu Nanyan would go back on her word. After today, he was finally cleared of all charges. At least the people could more or less trust him, which was a good start.

Mu Nanyan originally wanted to invite him to have dinner together to celebrate, but he didn't want to talk to her because he was busy with work. As a leader, she couldn't refuse, so she had to go back to her room to write the notice.

The imperial examination in Jiangcheng must select talents. Jiangnan is a place with vast land and abundant resources, and we must make good use of its advantages. If we want to develop, we must first engage in education, open schools widely, and teach children from a young age. No matter if they are from ordinary families, officials or aristocratic families, all children must go to school when they reach a certain age. There is no division into different classes, and they are all in the same classroom, just like the elementary, junior high and high schools of her time.

Girls can also go to school, and Jiangcheng will be the first place in Dongli to achieve gender equality.

She discovered that the girls in Jiangnan were very skillful and their embroidery skills were very vivid. No wonder Emperor Tianyou had so many pieces of cloth stored in his storehouse, and he would take out two pieces from time to time to please the empress.

This can also be combined with Hua Xiangrong to set up a national chain store. Jiangnan has good water transportation, and Jiangcheng is located in the upper center of Jiangnan. The market is so vast that there is no need to worry about money. What is lacking now is talent, and we can't borrow from Kyoto. It would be best if she elected the person so that we can feel at ease.

Mu Nanyan listed several positions, which were half more than the previous positions from largest to smallest. With this model, Jiangcheng did not need any aristocratic families at all.

"Yuan Si, take this to City Lord Song and ask him if he has any comments. If not, I will make up for it and post it directly tomorrow."

Yuan Si took the letter, put it in his pocket and left.

Mu Nanyan felt bored, so she went back to her space and took a shower. She had been busy all afternoon and had sweated a lot, making her feel sticky.

She dug out some old books from the corner and prepared to copy them and keep them for her apprentice. They were all basic medical books. She had not planned to teach him the real knowledge of Western medicine. It was still too early for him now. He just needed to practice every day according to the method she gave. He could start learning when his hands were steady.

Song Qingyan was shocked when he saw what Mu Nanyan wrote. It seemed as if his brain had been cleansed in the past few days. In his heart, Mu Nanyan was an idol. These things were something he had never dared to think about before, but he was able to do them.

"Okay, great, Fourth Master Yuan, I don't have anything to add, just let Miss do her job with confidence, I still have some people here to ensure everything goes smoothly tomorrow."

Yuan Si put away the letter paper, "Don't worry about what the young lady said. City Lord Song should focus on the current affairs first. Jiangcheng is in a state of disrepair and needs to be rebuilt. We still expect City Lord Song to make some achievements in the future. The young lady cannot lose face."

Song Qingyan said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, you reminded me, I will go back and continue writing the memorial now, and tell the young lady that I will finish it tonight."

Yuan Si ignored him. Why did this guy have such a mean expression? He looked abnormal. He really didn't know how the lady liked him. When she first met him, he was like that big rooster. When she met him again, he was dressed normally, but his brain was abnormal again.

Mu Nanyan was copying a book when Yuan Si came back with something, "Miss, City Lord Song said he has no objection and will listen to you."

Mu Nanyue was very confident in what she wrote. She thought that no one in the world could come up with such a wonderful idea, and she would be the first person to do so.
