"I've thought about it and decided I should find someone capable to be the dean. As for me, I'd rather be the abbot, mainly responsible for managing the daily affairs of the academy, including finances and other aspects. My sister Qingchuan said she would be the deputy abbot to help me manage admissions, student assessments, and library management."

Seeing that Bao Er had already arranged to be married, several men asked, and Yinzhen asked, "Do you have a choice?"

When Baoer and the others asked him, he said that he had been thinking about a few people for a long time. "The first one is Zhang Ying, the Grand Secretary who just retired at the beginning of the year. He is a well-known scholar. If he were here, there would definitely be more students coming to the academy to teach."

"The second one is Li Guangdi, but he still holds an official position. I don't know if he would be willing to come to my small academy." Speaking of these two people, Baoer was a little bit unsure. It was like a natural poor student facing the president of Tsinghua University or Peking University. He had no courage.

Nian Gengyao saw Bao'er's lack of confidence. He said, "Lord Li probably won't come, but I heard that Lord Zhang Ying is not in good health. We can give him some of our health-preserving soup. I think no one will refuse a healthy body."

Yinzhen also comforted him, "If it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter if it's not a great scholar. We can find some recognized and knowledgeable people to take the position."

"Yes, Baoer, don't worry. We can help you find some retired elderly people who are staying at home."

Seeing that everyone was comforting themselves, Baoer smiled brightly and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. We'll talk about it when we get back. Today is our day to have fun, so everyone should relax and have fun."

The carriage arrived at the farm very quickly. The few of them first walked around the farm and basically spent the whole morning there.

After lunch and a short rest, Baoer and the others asked the servants to take their clothes and toiletries and prepared to go to the hot springs.

Since there were many people in the family, when we built the pool, we separated it into two large pools for men and women. And each family member had his or her own bathing pool.

Since Baoer and the others were originally husband-wife relationships, they all planned to take a dip in the large pool. Once they entered the room, there were some seasonal fruit plates and some red wine on the bank of the pool, as well as the glass wine glasses at home.

All of this was prepared in advance by the servants as soon as they received the news.

Baoer and his friends enjoyed a hot spring bath here.

Then we had fun for the whole afternoon and didn’t want to go home. In the end, the men all asked for leave and went home happily in the evening of the next day.

Baoer and several men were very satisfied with this hot spring trip, but the duration was a bit short. Everyone felt a little unsatisfied and wanted to come back when they had time to arrange their own affairs.

The next day, the men began their daily office life again.

…

During this period, most of the powerful people in the capital knew that the emperor's newly appointed Marquis Rong'an and Earl Fengdeng were planning to open an academy.

As soon as Bao'er arrived home that day, the servants came to report that Cao Jia, the wife of Prince Ping, and Heshuo Gege, the wife of the Minister of Dali Temple and the fourth daughter of Prince Yu Fuquan, were coming to visit together. Since Bao'er was not at home, they said they would come tomorrow.

When Bao Er heard this, he asked the servant to leave. When Yin Zhen and the others came back, Bao Er remembered to ask Yin Zhen when they were resting at night. As soon as Bao Er heard Yin Zhen, he knew the answer.

"I think it's about a teacher at your school. Uncle Yu mentioned it to me today. You should be talking about Uncle Yu's fourth daughter. However, because Uncle Yu had many children who died young, she is actually his eldest daughter."

"Because she was Uncle Wang's first surviving child, Uncle Wang doted on her and allowed her to marry. He even asked the Emperor to confer the title of Heshuo Wanrou Gege on her."

"According to Uncle Wang, my cousin has been very good at fashion and jewelry design since she was a child. She owns several famous clothing and jewelry stores in Beijing, and all the items inside are designed by her. She is also particularly fond of women's flower arrangement and tea making. I saw the promotion and wanted to try my hand at teaching in this field."

"Actually, my cousin is pretty good among my sisters. She has her own career at a young age and her temperament is relatively good among my sisters. If you can, you can let her try."

Bao Er said, "Okay, then I'll see what they say tomorrow. I've already said that I don't want anyone with a bad temper or lack of ability."

Baoer asked again, "When do you think it would be best for our college to start school?"

In the blink of an eye, she discovered that Yin's collar was already wide open, half revealing his body. She didn't know who he was seducing. Bao'er curled her lips inwardly.

Yin looked at Bao'er and said, "Anyway, it will be September in a month, which is exactly when the academy opens every year."

"The academy doesn't need to rush to prepare everything if it wants to start classes. We can just start classes directly when the time comes."

"Okay, let's stop talking and do something interesting," Yin said, looking at Baoer with shining eyes.

"Okay, how do you want to play?" Baoer asked curiously with an innocent look.

Then she glanced up and down, and then she pinched a spot on his chest with her hand, "Is it like this or..." Her hand continued to move down, stopping just below his belly button, "Or..."

Yin's eyes were slightly reddened by her arousal, and he wanted to have sex with her, but he knew Bao'er liked it this way, so he could only endure it and said, "There is something better, Bao'er, do you want to try it..."

The temperature in the room seems to be gradually rising...

The next morning, Baoer got up and saw that there was no one around her, so she knew that Yin had left. She got herself ready and had breakfast.

After a while, Orange and Cherry brought today's two guests to Baoer's reception room.

Sure enough, when the two of them told him their purpose, Baoer knew that they really wanted to become teachers.

And both of them have their own goals. Wanrou is good at design, so she is responsible for the design and painting majors.

Cao Jiashi was Cao Yin's eldest daughter and had lived in Jiangnan since childhood. She was best at dancing, painting and playing musical instruments, so she was responsible for this aspect.

But she also said that she would try a few classes first when school starts, and only start if it works.

After a quick month, all the teachers arrived. Among them were scholars who failed the imperial examination, retired doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau, and technical teachers.

Some of the logistical staff in the academy, such as the chief officer, the head of the dormitory, the doorman, the hall boy, the dormitory boy, the janitor, the stele keeper, the book reader, the night watchman, the fireman, and the cook, are all in place.

Finally, the position of dean was chosen. The two elders that Baoer favored did not agree, so Baoer had to take it on himself. He also arranged Qingchuan to be the vice dean of the college.

In order to promote students' autonomy in learning, Baoer has also set up scholarships specifically for those who have learning abilities, and corresponding rewards will be given to the top few students.

For example, first place would receive 100 taels, second place 50 taels, and third place 10 taels. This reward attracted a large number of poor students. After all, if you really won first place, it would be enough to cover several years of tuition.
