I Bring a System to Flirt with the First Emperor and Build Infrastructure

Zhao Jun harbored an unknown secret: she was an online friend with His Highness the First Emperor from thousands of years ago. Every time she sent him cheap items like water cups and glass, she cou...

Chapter 73 Experimental Primary School

When the two arrived at Nanluoting, it was no longer as desolate as the first time they came.

The place was crowded with people, including many teenagers and curious parents who followed to watch.

"County Magistrate Lu, County Magistrate Lu."

Zhao Jun shouted a few times to Lu Jing who was standing in the crowd.

"Master Zhao, why are you here? I originally said I would invite you on the day the class officially starts."

Lu Jing walked through the crowd and looked at the two in surprise.

"I'm almost done with the spring planting over there, and Qingliu happened to say that the kids were coming to visit today, so I wanted to come and take a look too."

She turned around and looked around.

"All the kids are here, is that all there are?"

Fangling County is quite large, but there are only about seventeen or eighteen children here. Considering that every family now has three or four children, the number seems a bit small.

"Yes, they are all here. Firstly, there are only so many children of the right age. Some are too old or too young. Secondly, it is impossible for the family to have all the children come. Some of the older ones have to help with housework."

Lu Jing also knew that the number of children who could come was less than one-fifth of all the children.

But there is no way to make reality like this, we can only take it step by step.

"I see. By the way, are your paper textbooks ready?" Zhao Jun asked again.

"Well, it's ready. My Lord, please come in and take a look inside."

Lu Jing invited Zhao Jun to go inside the house, where there were also several children visiting.

Zhao Jun took a quick look and saw that there were some more things than the last time he came.

"This is a simple desk that we made by finding some wood and then filling it with some grass or something like that."

These desks are very simple, almost just a piece of wood, with a mat underneath for children to kneel and read.

"The county bought some paper and enlightenment books, but there are only two, so the children can only pass them around."

The conditions are still too simple, and this is all he can do at the moment.

Zhao Jun nodded and walked out with Lu Jing and stood in the corner nearby.

"County Magistrate Lu, I just saw that there is still space in this house. We don't have many children. Can we add a few more?"

"Sir, I really want to join. It doesn't matter if we squeeze in. The key is that there are no more children."

Lu Jing clapped his hands helplessly.

"Then have you ever asked the people if they are willing to send girls to attend classes?"

"Girl?" Lu Jing's voice rose in surprise.

Qing Liu, who was standing behind, also looked at Zhao Jun in surprise.

"Yes, girl, why not?" Zhao Jun asked back.

"This, this, apart from those wealthy families, who among the common people would let their daughters go to school?"

Lu Jing hesitated. It wasn't that he disagreed, but he just found it unbelievable.

Zhao Jun knew this would happen. Although Lu Jing was an open-minded and good official, his thinking was not that advanced.

"Why not? Do you think Qingliu is worse than others?"

"No, no, no, of course not. How is that possible?" Lu Jingkuang nodded with a firm attitude.

Qingliu didn't expect the adults to mention him.

"If that's the case, then I shouldn't be any worse than you. Those girls may not be inferior to boys. If they can go to school, they will cherish it more than boys."

"Sir, I understand what you mean, but not everyone is like you. There are so many opportunities. The girls here are ordinary people. Even if they have studied, they can't achieve your current position."

"You can't affirm their inevitability just because your own accident happens."

"I understand what you mean."

Of course, the King of Zhao knew that the entire Qin State had not yet completely solved the problem of food and clothing.

Even though she wanted to give the girls a chance, the upper-level channels were not opened up. Even if these girls went to school, there was no other place to accept them. Zhao Jun understood all this.

The changes she wanted to make were not going to happen overnight, and she hadn’t even made it to the starting stage.

"Although these girls don't have opportunities now, it doesn't mean they won't have them in the future. I will change that in the future."

Zhao Jun spoke in a strong voice, and Lu Jing was shocked by her shocking words.

Can she change?

"I firmly believe that things will change in the future, so now that I'm here, of course I have to prepare these girls."

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. In the future, when women can do more, they will be the pioneers."

A gentle March breeze blew across the wilderness.

In the distance is the bumpy and uneven land.

There were words of surprise and delight from the children all around.

The three of them stood in this corner.

Qingliu knew Zhao Junchao's forward-thinking ideas for the first time.

And Lu Jing also saw her ambition

"Okay, let's not talk too much about the future, let's focus on the present."

Regardless of the shock they received, Zhao Jun continued.

"I think Magistrate Lu might have to trouble you to make another trip here and ask everyone if they're willing to send their daughters to school."

"I know it might be too much for them, so I will give you some money to cover the girls' tuition and paper costs, in my personal name of course."

"To avoid a commotion in the boys' families, this matter has nothing to do with the county. Just say that I personally felt sorry for the girls and let them go to school for free. I'll give you the money, and you'll be responsible for the rest."

Before, Mr. Zhao had never mentioned that he would donate money to support the school, mainly because it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

Since they can do it themselves, there is no need for her to interfere.

Although the conditions were poor, I still managed to achieve my goal step by step.

I can't rely on others for everything. What if I don't let her wait and leave?

"Okay, sir, if it's free, there should be some families willing to let girls come. I'll send someone to notify them right away."
