It's a sunny day.
Mu's Academy, four characters written in a flamboyant style came into everyone's sight, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
This is written by Coach Du himself, it is very valuable.
Mu Wanqing presided over the solemn unveiling ceremony and invited famous people in the city to watch the ceremony. Mrs. Du did not come, but Miss Du did, and she also gave a generous gift.
So, no matter how busy everyone was, they all came to show their respect.
Look, even Coach Du’s autograph is posted, who dares not to support it?
Oh my, it seems that General Du and the Mu family have a close relationship.
Some people looked at the Mu family getting rich and their eyes became red with envy. They secretly had evil thoughts, but they gave up the idea now.
It is a small matter to offend the head of Qingping County, but it is absolutely unacceptable to offend General Du.
This is exactly the effect Mu Wanqing wants. It is better for the county magistrate to be in charge now. Du Shuai’s signboard is most effective in the Xiliang area.
She took everyone to visit the academy, which was the first time it was open to the public.
The academy is completely modern in style, with concrete buildings, bright and spacious windows, blackboards, chalk, and rows of wooden desks.
There are several classrooms, laboratory buildings, libraries, canteens, and comprehensive rooms.
Finally, the group stayed in the general room, which had been transformed into a small auditorium, with a variety of snacks on the table.
Mu Wanqing invited everyone to take a seat. "Thank you very much for coming here in such a cold weather. Please try the students' cooking."
The room is warm and the sofa is soft, making people relax involuntarily.
Everyone was surprised when they saw the delicious food. "Were they all made by the students themselves?"
Mu Wanqing was quite proud, "Of course, the students in our academy have strong hands-on skills."
Miss Du kept staring at the chair beneath her. It looked strange, but indescribably comfortable.
"Where was this chair made? It's very interesting."
Mu Wanqing introduced with a smile, "This is called a sofa, and it was made by the students of our academy themselves."
Of course, she gave the hint, but it was the students who took action.
Everyone looked at each other, isn't that right?
Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "If you want, you can place an order with the students. They will deliver the goods to your door within the specified time and guarantee the installation."
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this a college?" Why are you still doing rough labor?
Mu Wanqing is hungry for talents. She not only trains people to become officials, but also people to do practical work.
Different paths are formulated according to the strengths of students. If they are not good at studying, they can become accountants or business managers.
"Our academy not only teaches the Four Books and Five Classics, but also mathematics, physics, chemistry, medicine, martial arts, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. We teach a wide range of subjects. We train students with all-round development. Everything in this room is the result of students' own work. I call it a practical class. It will be assessed, and if you fail, you have to retake it."
This concept is so new and has a big impact on everyone. "All-round development? Human energy is limited, how can we take care of everything?"
People's IQs vary. It's quite good if a clan has a few talented people. Don't expect everyone to become officials.
Mu Wanqing didn't quite agree with the saying that everything is inferior except studying, so she arranged a lot of courses so that different grades could learn different things.
During the learning process, students will explore their strengths and find out what they are really interested in. When they reach senior years, they will be divided into classes and from then on they will choose the path they want to take.
"Our college has compulsory courses and elective courses. If you have spare time, you can learn more. If you don't have spare time, you can specialize in one direction. Openness and tolerance are the school spirit of our college."
Everyone was stunned. This was quite creative.
The whole place was silent for a moment, and Miss Du chuckled, "I want to buy a set of sofas, is that possible?"
Mu Wanqing randomly pointed at a student and said, "Twenty-one, come over and handle it."
A young girl with a childish face came over. She had a baby face and looked only about eleven or twelve years old. "Yes."
Mu Ershiyi bowed to everyone and said with a graceful smile, "Miss Du, let me introduce you to the sofas. There are three types: single, double, and triple. You can also combine the three types at will. There are several styles. This is a new pattern."
The handwritten brochure is exceptionally exquisite, with the three products clearly drawn and easy to see at a glance, and the prices are marked on the side.
"There are also many colors, you can choose the color you like, these are samples."
Miss Du was attracted by the album, "What do these words mean?"
Mu Ershiyi took a look and spoke eloquently, "These are Arabic numerals, a counting system unique to our academy. These numbers are the dimensions. I will show you the specific dimensions now."
Several students worked in groups, using specially made measuring tapes to demonstrate, which immediately gave people an intuitive feeling.
These students are young, full of energy, with bright smiles, enthusiasm and generosity. They behave neither humbly nor arrogantly and show no timidity when talking about business.
What's more, they know an extraordinary amount, such as Arabic numerals, counting systems, and statistical tables, which are all eye-opening.
There were a lot of people around Mu Ershiyi, asking her questions one after another. She always responded with a smile, and calmly followed the process to issue orders, record, report, and collect money.
Every detail is handled in an orderly manner and he is calmer than an adult.
Everyone was stunned. Is this the student trained by Mu Academy?
"County Lady, is this little girl your personal disciple? The most outstanding one?"
"No." Mu Wanqing looked at Mu Ershiyi with appreciation, "She is indeed good."
Mu Ershiyi was extremely excited. The clan leader praised her. Ahhhh, so happy.
"Thank you for the compliment. I am just an ordinary student in the lower grades. All of our classmates have this ability. It is a basic skill. My seniors are even more powerful."
They have special scenario exercises that simulate different environments to get training.
Everyone: ...
Suddenly I feel that this is a treasure school and I want to go in!
Everyone present ordered a set of sofas. Although the price was high, it was not unacceptable.
A customer suddenly asked, "Who will get the profit?"
Mu Wanqing casually said, "70% goes to the students, and 30% goes to the school for daily operations."
Running the academy is very expensive, and she can't keep using her own personal funds to fill the gap, so she decided to develop students' money-making skills.
The customer was stunned. "You don't want to take a cent?"
Mu Wanqing was content as long as she didn't lose out, "The last thing I lack is money."
What a crazy thing to say! It makes people envious and jealous.
A noblewoman was very excited, "Princess Qingping, does your academy accept students from other families? My child has good qualifications, and I want to send him to school here."
The son is smart, but he refuses to focus on studying. He wants to sleep as soon as he starts reading. As parents, they have beaten and scolded him, but it is no use.
It would be better to send him here to learn something practical. It would be good to have a skill.
Mu Wanqing was waiting for her to say this, but her expression remained calm. "We will recruit a group of people from society in July next year. There will be a total of 30 places. It doesn't matter if you are male or female, and regardless of your family background, as long as you pass the assessment, you will be accepted."
A constant flow of fresh blood is needed to maintain the vitality of the academy, and it also needs a lot of manpower.
Instead of looking for it outside, it is better to spend some time to cultivate it yourself.
However, in this era, people respect their teachers and betraying their teachers will be criticized and not tolerated by the world.
Therefore, she was not too worried about teaching a traitor.
"What's the test?"
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet."
This is the most irresponsible thing to say, but there is nothing to be done about it, she has the confidence to be willful.
Everyone also visited the kindergarten. The unique environment and the performance of the children were eye-catching.
These kids seem so smart, cheerful, generous and polite, completely different from the naughty kids at home.
Ahhh, let’s play it. I must get a spot.
Mu Wanqing smiled but said nothing. What could be more frustrating for parents than school?
Modern parents go to great lengths to get their children into a good school, and ancient parents naturally had the same mentality.
When the child was in her hands, these people unknowingly became her network of contacts.
Yeah, perfect.
Miss Du found an opportunity and pulled Mu Wanqing to a quiet place. "Sister Wanqing, it's not that my mother didn't want to come, but she fell ill as soon as she returned. She was delirious with fever. She...kept calling out my second sister's name while she was sick."
Mrs. Du felt guilty and sorry for her second daughter.
Mu Wanqing pursed her lips. Madam Du always made it hard for her to describe her. She was not a bad person, just a naive and innocent one.
Never mind, she isn’t the one who’s suffering anyway.
"Should we ask the Second Miss to go back and take care of the patient?"
Miss Du is very energetic in front of everyone, but she can't hide her tiredness when no one is around. "It's good that I can take care of her. We don't want our second sister to get involved. She's already suffering enough."
"That's good. I will go back to the farm in a few days. The second young lady and her son will be fine at the farm." Mu Wanqing has arranged for the second young lady to learn weaving, starting with the most basic ones.
Miss Du couldn't help but smile bitterly. She had been raised by her grandmother since she was a child. Seeing her grandmother despised her mother for being a hopeless person, she felt deeply indignant for her mother.
But when I grew up, I realized that my grandmother was not wrong.
It’s a pity that my grandmother passed away too early.
"Thank you. Although Aunt Fang died, she was able to uncover a few clues along this line. Unfortunately, they didn't know much, and the clues were cut off, so they couldn't find the mastermind."
It was terrifying for her to think that there was such an enemy lurking in the dark.
Mu Wanqing frowned slightly. This time they were targeting her, and she would not let the mastermind behind the scenes go.
"As long as the Du family remains undefeated, that person will jump out sooner or later."
This is even more terrifying. Miss Du frowned and said, "It's easy to be a thief, but you can't be on guard against thieves. I can't sleep at night when I think there is a dark hand watching our house."
"That wouldn't be the case..." Mu Wanqing was about to say something when the servant reported that the guards guarding the farm had arrived.
Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up. They were finally here.
After the guard came in, he handed over a document with both hands respectfully, "Master, those people have confessed."
No matter how loyal a person is, he cannot escape the punishment of water drops. After a few days, the willpower of the man in black quickly collapsed.
Mu Wanqing took the interrogation report and read it. The man in black was just following orders and knew nothing about the person behind the scenes. However, the top of the man in black's head provided an important clue.
"Give it to Du Shuai."
Miss Du took it and took a look at it hastily. Her face suddenly changed. "Mrs. Yao? How is this possible? I remember that Mrs. Yao was not very smart..."
Mrs. Yao likes the hustle and bustle very much. She can always be seen at various banquets. She is not a person who is good at socializing.
