Chapter 108 The School (Part 2)

Su Jingge felt that what he was talking about was nothing more than cosmetics, but they weren't called cosmetics in ancient times.

She understood what she meant.

She has everything that is inanimate.

She started browsing the online store to see what cosmetics were available for the wealthy.

You also need to cater to their preferences; they won't accept anything too novel.

...

After rummaging around all morning, she finally found the eyebrow pencils, eyebrow pencils of various colors.

These were because the noble ladies in the palace loved to draw their eyebrows, and the rest of their makeup was blush.

There are also nail polishes that don't require a UV lamp.

These three items will definitely please the dignitaries.

So she sent several samples to the post station, and then to Chang'an.

Just waiting for a reply!

-

After more than ten days of hard work, the school has begun to show some improvement.

Every day, many people stop to visit the school.

Everyone is eagerly anticipating the early completion of this school!

Even people from the surrounding villages who had previously been skeptical of Yuxiang County have started to flock to its coattails.

All they want is for the children to go to school.

Su Jingge returned so many gifts that they filled several carriages.

She placed the notice at the entrance of the village, on the notice board there.

It clearly states that no gifts should be given. She built the school not to receive gifts, much less to amass wealth.

Among them, the most concerning issue is age.

She has already distributed the age list for the students she has recruited.

3-4 year old kindergarten class.

There are six classes so far.

There are between 28 and 35 students in a class.

4-5 years old is in the middle class of kindergarten.

There are also six classes.

Children aged 6 and above can take the exam.

Candidates must be under 10 years old and be familiar with one classic text, including the Classic of Filial Piety and the Analects, to be eligible to take the exam.

So her requirements are relaxed; as long as a child is capable, they can take the exam.

The next step is to invite the Master.

Su Jingge offered a high amount of funding; anyone with the ability could become a teacher.

Therefore, they began to recruit teachers widely.

Soon, someone shared their past experiences in the county town.

However, this is not enough; the teacher also needs to be tested.

Only those who pass all the tests can become teachers.

After all, it's not just about academic knowledge; one needs moral character, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetic appreciation, and practical skills!

We need to consider all aspects!

Everyone was busy for a while, leaving early and returning late.

After five days of examinations, some of the candidates were eliminated, while others became official teachers.

The monthly allowance is five taels of silver.

This is equivalent to 5,000 yuan in modern terms.

The teacher's monthly salary ranged from five thousand to more than ten thousand.

That means the lowest is 5000.

If more students in a class pass each exam, the more money they will earn.

This profession was considered a high-paying job in ancient times.

-

After more than ten days of travel, another letter arrived from Chang'an.

Su Jingge sent the previous samples over, and now she has received a response.

From this moment forward, she is a royal merchant!

The staff at the restaurant cheered with joy.

It should be noted that it took Shanggu Zhai a full six years to become an imperial merchant.

Su Jingge has only been in the industry for half a year!

That's an incredible speed!

However, some people say that Su Jingge's father laid the foundation, and without her father, she would have had a long and difficult road to becoming a royal merchant!

After all, there were still people from Shangguzhai ahead of them.

But now things are much better. She has officially become a royal merchant, which means that her future shipments will be very stable, with only profits and no losses.

In a short time, all the merchants switched sides and pledged their allegiance to Su Jingge.

When Zhao Liu heard this news, his face twisted with rage. He never expected that Su Jingge would become a royal merchant.

No, he also collaborated with noblewomen in the palace. It was just the rouge and face powder that women used, so how is that different?

Why is Su Jingge's better?

Isn't this stealing business?

This is outrageous!

She's absolutely outrageous!

He was eager to cause trouble, to see who her source of goods was, and where her uncle was, to find out how he could get such good goods.

So she began investigating her uncle's whereabouts!

-

Upon learning this news, Su Jingge realized that not only had Zhao Liu gone to look for her, but she herself had also been searching for more than half a year.

Even with a reward of over a thousand taels of silver, there's still no news about this person.

How easy is it to find?

Let him do whatever he wants.

I'm incredibly busy right now.

I don't have time to worry about that.

Just as the construction of the school was beginning to take shape, news came from Xie Mo that the ecological environment had changed significantly after they cleared the land for farming.

To my surprise, a white crane flew by!

This alarmed the entire Yuxiang County.

Even the surrounding areas!

The news spread quickly.

It is said that the county town, which was originally poor, dilapidated, and ranked last, has become so prosperous.

It also attracted cranes

You should know that cranes are of noble character and cannot fly to just any place.

A school was even built, which alarmed the governor. He was on his way to Chang'an, but when he passed by this place, he was shocked to see such a beautiful and magnificent county town.

He went to see Su Jingge at that time.

Legend has it that Yuxiang County was ruled by a female magistrate, a fact he knew.

He had indeed heard that a school had been built there, but at the time he didn't think it was very credible; he was just talking about it casually.

Or it could be a gimmick.

He never expected that the school would actually be built.

This is a woman! She's truly a woman who's just as capable as any man!

After receiving the guests, Su Jingge took them on a tour of the school, where they watched as the school rose from the ground to become a tall building.

He repeatedly praised her, truly looking at this woman with new respect!

His purpose in going to Chang'an to attend the council meeting was to report on the appearance of various provinces and cities. He would definitely submit a document detailing Su Jingge's heroic deeds to the Emperor without missing a single word!

Su Jingge quickly cupped her hands in thanks: "Thank you so much for your high regard, my lord. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

After seeing off this great deity, Su Jingge continued building the school.

Next, she completely transformed the shops in the city!

She reorganized the goods in those shops, for example, she supplied her goods to shops that sold daily necessities.

For example, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and curling irons for women.

After a series of actions, the county town has practically become a mini-Yiwu!

The selection was dazzling and comprehensive; even when choosing goods, people would come to Su Jingge to source them.

Everyone says that Su Jingge's uncle is a walking treasure trove!

This feat instantly became a sensation in the surrounding area!

Merchants from the surrounding villages and even people from hundreds of miles away came to seek cooperation with Su Jingge.

Su Jingge accepted all comers, and her friends were also extremely busy.

But every one of them made money.

They achieved their dreams.

Some have built big houses, and some have bought things they've wanted for a long time but couldn't afford before.

Flying Sword opened a weapon shop.

He also fulfilled his wish.

He collaborated with Lu Huai, and the design drawings were done by his younger brother, Lu Er.

It was only after seeing various forms of this that he changed his opinion of Lu Er.

I used to think this guy was just a pretty boy, a puppy.

But he had to admit that this person was indeed skilled in writing and had some talent.

The weapons designed were exquisite, and the various small hidden weapons also satisfied Fei Jian's childhood love for weapons.

This wish can be considered fulfilled.

Xiao Linyuan, on the other hand, had no particular wishes; he simply hoped that everyone would be well.

Su Jingge is looking for a doctor to cure his muteness.

I consulted many doctors before, and they all said that his illness was actually psychological and could be cured.

Therefore, Su Jingge would spend her spare time talking to him to help him resolve his inner conflicts.

She tried to persuade him, saying that he didn't want to watch those fallen soldiers die either, but there was no other way due to the circumstances.

Tell him to let it go.

Now, by giving back to the county, perhaps some of those fallen soldiers were from Yuxiang County?

He said that their hometown was so good and prosperous, and that their time with him had not been in vain.

And so, they continued to comfort and guide her day after day.

The man was gradually able to speak.
