Originally, all the dormitories were arranged to be four-person rooms, but after Consort Hui and Consort Rong said some things, Mingxiu changed her mind and changed the dormitories to four-person rooms, six-person rooms, and two-person rooms. After all, people with different living habits are more likely to have conflicts when they live together.

It would be terrible if something bad happened because of this. I told you long ago that the school's first year is definitely in the experimental stage. It's not too late to change it once it's on a larger scale.

Anyway, she doesn't lack students.

Mingxiu was very confident about this, after all, it was the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort who spearheaded it. Putting aside everything else, all these princesses and daughters of the imperial relatives and nobles would surely pass away by then, and those who wanted to make connections or genuinely wanted to learn would naturally pass away as well.

She spent a long time just drawing up the blueprints for the academy, and only after the blueprints were completed did she start arranging for construction.

All Mingxiu needs to do now is hand over the blueprints and let people carry out the construction.

Then there are some teaching materials. She's really not good at this, but what can she do? She has a cheat code. There are many teaching materials in her space. She takes out all the usable ones first, then discusses with Kangxi about adding some things, and finally gives everyone advice on what they've discussed. Then that's about it.

When Mingxiu and Kangxi were discussing it, Mingxiu finally decided to add the study of foreign languages ​​to the curriculum. Regardless of whether she would ever need them, it was better to learn them than to not know them at all if she ever did.

So Mingxiu thought about it for a moment and decided to add it anyway.

This design process took a long time, and it wasn't until the thirtieth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign that Mingxiu had finally finished working on the entire book. By then, the academy was also almost completely built.

When Mingxiu had nothing to do, she went to take a look and felt that it was pretty much what she knew.

By the time the New Year was over, Mingxiu had almost finished preparations. However, she encountered a major problem when it came to recruiting teachers. The main reason was that many men were unwilling to teach women, but there were relatively few women willing to be teachers, and even those who did were not always suitable. Therefore, Mingxiu was unable to find a suitable teacher.

Inside the Qianqing Palace, Mingxiu sat there, deeply troubled. This matter seemed impossible to resolve.

Sighing and groaning, Mingxiu sat in the Qianqing Palace. Yinreng and Kangxi, who were reviewing memorials next to her, tightened their grip on their pens. The presence of her voice was so strong that it was impossible to ignore.

"Alright, stop sighing. It's just that we can't find a teacher, it's not like there's no other way." Kangxi couldn't stand it anymore. Mingxiu blinked her big eyes at him and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any ideas? Tell me about them."

"You don't have any teachers, so just bring over some well-read ladies from wealthy families or some well-known people from various industries. Let them recommend some and help you find one. I'm afraid you won't be able to find one."

"Oh right, how come I didn't remember?" Mingxiu patted her head. Yes, how could she not remember something so simple? She had seen this kind of thing countless times before.

I guess I've been too busy lately, and it's made my brain overload.

Mingxiu patted her forehead and exclaimed, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I know what to do now. I'm going now." Mingxiu jumped to Kangxi's side, kissed him, and then ran out quickly.

Kangxi touched his cheek and looked at Mingxiu helplessly. She was not young anymore, but she still did not know how to be mature.

Yinreng calmly observed the way the two interacted.

When Kangxi turned his head, he saw Yinreng's face and wondered why he had such an expression.

Kangxi glared at Yinreng and then continued to attend to official business.

After returning home, Mingxiu went to find people as Kangxi had instructed. As for who she was looking for, it was naturally the various concubines in the palace. They all came from very good families and naturally knew some things that Mingxiu did not know.

Mingxiu sent messages to the concubines in each palace, explaining their benefits and treatment. She refused to believe that she couldn't find a few people to help.

She offered excellent benefits: five days on, two days off, accommodation, and three meals a day—the same treatment as the government. Salaries were paid from the Ministry of Revenue. She was confident she could attract enough people, and the salaries she offered were very generous.

Sure enough, after Mingxiu spread the news, she received a message from Kangxi saying that several people had already sent messages outside the palace, indicating that someone was willing to do so.

About three days later, many women came to apply for the job. Mingxiu sent Lvzhu to be in charge of recruitment, so Lvzhu was actually in charge of the rest of the work.

Green Bamboo stood at the door, looking at the women who had come to apply for jobs and were now taking the test. She was very satisfied. The Empress had said that as long as these people passed the test, they could basically come to teach.

Green Bamboo glanced at them. Those who passed the test would naturally be submitted to Mingxiu and Kangxi for review. There were both Han and Manchu people, but the Manchus were relatively few, though not few either. Most of the Han people were daughters of court officials or elders, but most of them came from relatively poor families.

After these people passed the training, it was time for the training. Women often face many inconveniences when they are out, so Mingxiu arranged a maid for each of the fathers and sons. This was her little selfish wish, so that their families could feel at ease.

Mingxiu also arranged a martial arts instructor for everyone, named Lvzhu. Her main task was to teach these women some self-defense skills.
