I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Good, Huaiyuan, the teacher was right about you."

This matter was temporarily settled. Since there were still several months before the wheat planting in the second half of this year, the wheat seeds were temporarily stored in the workshop's warehouse.

After the wheat harvest season was over, what Shen Jia really needed to worry about was how many students he could recruit for the school he had previously proposed.

In order to ensure that there are enough classrooms, she specially built several new classrooms. As for dormitories, they are still under construction. If anyone needs them, they will need to temporarily live in the previously vacant staff dormitories.

Of course, those who wish to live there must meet certain requirements, as she has arranged for transportation from several nearby villages. The children's classes only last half a day, so it won't take up much of their time.

So when she saw the crowds that almost blocked the entire road, she felt both surprised and scared. The number of people far exceeded her original expectations, and even some children around eight years old were sent there.

It seems that the class classification for different ages that she wanted to create before was necessary. Everyone does not need to receive the same course content and can start working immediately. The focus should be on future work needs.

The younger ones wanted to broaden their horizons. She planned to arrange the course experience to imitate the modern world, broaden their horizons and guide their thinking. They didn't necessarily have to work in the workshop to have a future. Even if someone wanted to take the imperial examination, Shen Jia would not stop them.

Of course, Shen Jia will not tell everyone about these contents for the time being. He can wait until tomorrow and use the reason of teaching different ages differently.

In addition to the workers' children and relatives, some other people who heard about this incident paid to send their children here for a better future.

Because Shen Jia explained in advance that if you don't pass the subsequent assessment, it won't be of much use even if you come to the workshop to study, which also discouraged some people who wanted to take shortcuts.

These are all preparations for a rainy day, and they are entrusted by family members. So when you add it all up, the number of people is definitely beyond the range. At the same time, the classrooms and housing are also becoming tight, which has been worrying her recently.

In order to guess his teaching methods for the youngest group of children, Shen Jia decided to do it himself.

When the time came, the familiar sound of iron pieces colliding with each other came from outside. This was the bell set by Shen Jia for class.

"Hello everyone, I am your teacher Shen Jia."

"Hello, Master!"

The soft voices of children rang out in front of them. Everyone was very reserved and didn't even know where to put their hands. Generally speaking, there were more boys among these people.

Even though the gender ratio of Shen Jia's current recruitment is very serious, with more girls than boys, some people still cannot see the current situation clearly and still give priority to stuffing boys into the workshop.

Because it was in ancient times, Shen Jia gave priority to teaching the "Three Character Classic", which was more suitable for newly enrolled children. As for other further arrangements, they were made after everyone learned to read.

Children are naturally curious, and Shen Jia really hopes not to miss this good opportunity.

"This is my name—Shen Jia."

As he spoke, Shen Jia wrote his name on a "blackboard" that was painted all over the wall with black paint.

The one in front of the students is also made of the same material. Everyone uses talc, which is just right for writing on and is easy to wipe off. It is still in the development stage and can only be used to reduce costs temporarily.

"Today we will first learn that human nature is good and that people are similar. Let me first explain the meaning of this. When we are born, each of us has a kind nature..."

The neat sound of reading began to echo in a corner of the workshop. Compared to the ignorance and innocence of the students here, the oldest group of students that Shen Yue was in charge of had a much simpler and rougher approach.

The main purpose is to learn all the words written by Shen Jia on the utensils, focusing on literacy and mathematical calculations. These are the real skills required to stand out in the workshop, and it can also be called a highly targeted teaching class.

Of course, this is also allowed by Shen Jia. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. For those who are looking forward to entering the workshop, nothing is more suitable than this.

Of course, a very obvious feature of this class is that there are not many fewer girls than boys. It seems that there is almost no difference. Perhaps under the temptation of making money immediately, everyone has given up their previous persistence.

Just when everything was getting on track, Shen Jia was very confused about why Shen Min suddenly appeared at his door. Especially when she asked him if the workshop was still short of a teacher, the confusion in Shen Jia's eyes became even more intense.

"I wonder why Aunt has changed her mind? Right now, our workshop needs as many teachers as possible. But if Aunt is feeling uneasy because of my previous request, that's not necessary. We can still manage for now."

Shen Min was also very clear that it was really inappropriate for someone like herself, who had just been rejected not long ago and was now eager to catch up, to come over.

Not to mention that Shen Jia felt very embarrassed, she would also feel very embarrassed if she met such a person, fearing that the other party was not sincere.

But now that this person is me, some things still need to be explained clearly.

"Jia Niang, don't worry. Auntie really feels that she doesn't need to stay confined at home any longer, looking at the unchanging space and guarding the confinement of her heart.

The main thing is that your grandfather has thought it through. After learning about this, he came to persuade me to go out and relax. He said that it was all his fault before, and he felt ashamed to see me again, so he kept staying at home on the pretext of being sick.

If you have already thought it through, then you are advising me to go out with you girls. This will not only help me to broaden my mind, but also help to lighten your burden.

Don't worry, I, your aunt, have been taught by your grandfather since I was young, and I have never slacked off in my studies and calligraphy. I can't say I have much ability, but I think I can still teach some beginners."

After saying such a long string of words, Shen Min's breathing suddenly became unstable, and she was also waiting for Shen Jia's answer.

But Shen Jia really wanted to know the reason why she had refused before. If problems arose again for this reason in the future, she would not be able to accept it.

Because Shen Jia pays a salary to everyone who enters the workshop, which means she doesn't let her own people work for free, but if it doesn't help, she thinks it would be better to hire outsiders.

"In that case, has Aunt already come to terms with the reason for her previous refusal? After all, if that's the reason you're so worried about, I don't think it's going to disappear anytime soon."

This question really hit Shen Min's heart. When asked this question, she didn't know whether she was asking for her father's expectations, to solve her own troubles, or because she didn't want to make Shen Jia sad.

What if my identity is discovered by others? What if the Shen family is implicated? Suddenly, Shen Min felt that the courage to speak just now disappeared.

But looking at Shen Jia's serious eyes, thinking that Shen Jia, a noble lady from a marquis's mansion, could disregard her previous identity and do business ways that others looked down upon.

She suddenly felt that she was really worrying too much. This place was thousands of miles away from Hengzhou Prefecture. As long as her family didn't tell anyone, who would know about her past?

Even if he knew, as long as he cut off his relationship with the Shen family, he would never implicate anyone else.

So she replied solemnly: "Absolutely not, Jia Niang, don't worry, I have already thought about what happened before. I wonder if Jia Niang is willing to give Aunt this chance?"

Since her aunt said so, Shen Jia had no reason to refuse, so she let her try it for the time being, and she also began to prepare other teachers, because she felt that she might not be able to hold on for long.

"In that case, I will congratulate Auntie on officially becoming one of our members. For the time being, I will teach the children some simple words and sentences."

"Then I'll go back and prepare."

Although Shen Min didn't know why Shen Jia specifically said that he could teach words and sentences, she still began to recall based on what she remembered.

In fact, it was not that Shen Jia was unwilling. The main reason was that she had already started promoting the teaching and use of Arabic numerals within the scope of her management. If she had never learned it, it would take some time to get started, especially for those who were more stubborn about ancient characters. It would be even more difficult to accept it in a short period of time.

Let’s not talk about others, just take Shen Ci as an example. After listening to Shen Jia’s introduction, he knew that this was a good thing, but he just couldn’t master it quickly.

But all in all he was still okay. After recently bringing his old father Shen Yu to the academy, Shen Jia finally understood what real trouble was.

After seeing this, Shen Yu also praised Shen Jia's reform, but he was also very clear about the benefits of spreading this reform to the people, so he has been trying to get to the bottom of Shen Jia recently, with a determination not to give up until he has figured it out.

Shen Jia herself was quite frightened, but since no one investigated who had come up with this idea and why Shen Jia only announced it in the Northern Territory, she could still cope with it for the time being.

Recently, she has been asking Shen Jia to organize all the relevant knowledge he has, as he thinks it will be of great use, so she has been very busy recently.

In addition to the workshop, the branch she and Li Qin had previously agreed upon has already started operating, and its popularity is comparable to that of the county branch, which makes her feel a little more relaxed.

Currently, Shen’s workshop has blossomed in Linyuan County. Shen Jia’s next goal is to open her own shop in the capital city, but opening a shop in the capital city requires a hot spot, a hot spot that can attract everyone. She now places all her hopes on Chen Yuan.

I hope he doesn't disappoint my expectations. Once the provincial capital becomes popular, I'm afraid that other counties below will have no chance.
