Chapter 498: Starting a College
After Shen Yueyao fixed Liu Xiangru's finger and bandaged it, she told her some precautions.
Liu Xiangru looked at Shen Yueyao gratefully and said, "Thank you, benefactor."
Shen Yueyao waved her hand and said, "No need to thank me. I'll take back what I need and give you the deposit."
After explaining everything, Shen Yueyao took Su Ruoyun back.
In the carriage, Su Ruoyun sighed, "It turns out there are good men who marry into the wife's family."
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "There are indeed good ones."
Seeing the warmth and harmony of Liu Xiangru's family, Shen Yueyao was also infected by the atmosphere. She felt warm in her heart and couldn't help but smile.
"It's getting late, let's go home first."
"good."
Shen Yueyao has been busy with these things for several consecutive days.
In the study at night, Shen Yueyao was writing a plan and couldn't help but say to Su Xueyi: "It seems that a lot of manpower is needed. It's too slow to arrange people like this."
Su Xueyi said, "Then I'll have people put up notices and find some people to do the work. Don't you still want to tear down the shop at the dock and rebuild it?"
Shen Yueyao said, "I do want to build up the dock as well, and also recruit workers to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes over at the farm."
"I'll just arrange for temporary workers to do the work and pay them, but I'll have to personally oversee the papermaking and printing workshops. I wouldn't dare hire anyone I don't trust."
"Now I know that we need a lot of manpower. Otherwise, we can mobilize more people from the capital."
Su Xueyi said, "Then we'll arrange for people to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in the village and build a dock. There's no need to rush into arranging papermaking and printing."
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "That's the only way. We'll build the workshop over there when we have enough manpower."
After Su Xueyi had a conversation with Shen Yueyao, she took out a document and showed it to Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment, "What is this?"
Su Xueyi said, "This is some information about Hezhou Academy and the private school. I had someone collect it recently. You can take a look."
Shen Yueyao then remembered that she had wanted to find a school for Dabao and Erbao.
Shen Yueyao took it and looked through the information about the academy's private school.
Seeing this, Shen Yueyao was shocked.
"Hezhou has two major academies and quite a few private schools, and this is the situation."
Shen Yueyao was a little bit surprised when she saw it.
Su Xueyi nodded and said, "Yes, not only do they charge a lot for tuition, but giving gifts is also popular during major festivals. Most of the students accepted by the academy are from well-off families, and students from poor families will be rejected for various reasons."
"Even if a few poor students enter the academy, they will be bullied."
"Students in the academy spontaneously form gangs. It doesn't seem like a good learning environment."
"In the academy, the ranking is based on family power. Upright teachers will be squeezed out, while those who accept gifts and bribe officials will remain in the academy safely."
At this moment, Shen Yueyao also thought of Liu Wengu and Lin Hai whom she met in the capital.
Liu Wen Gu and Lin Hai rented a house next to Dong Wen Ren's at the beginning. Once, when they were about to take an imperial examination, Shen Yue Yao happened to take them to the examination hall, and they got to know each other after a few visits.
Liu Wengu and Lin Hai are both good people and knowledgeable.
Liu Wen Gu passed the palace examination, while Lin Hai was only a juren.
"Do you still remember Liu Wengu? He wrote to us before. He is the magistrate of Xihe County, which is under the jurisdiction of Hezhou."
"Lin Hai has returned to study again and is preparing to take the exam again in three years."
Su Xueyi smiled gently and nodded, "Of course I remember."
When we were in Beijing, we met and often got together.
But after the exam, everyone returned to different places.
I still remember Liu Wen Gu said that his family had a farm.
As if she had thought of something, Su Xueyi said, "Liu Wengu's family is well-off, and they hired a teacher to teach him."
"Lin Hai came from a poor family and attended a private school in a small town. Although the school was small, the atmosphere was relatively good. The students were all from poor families and there was no competition. Lin Hai also worked hard and studied diligently, which is how he passed the imperial examination step by step."
They now live in the government office, so naturally they can't let Dabao and Erbao go to the county to study.
There is no need to hire a teacher. If you want to teach at home, Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi can teach.
Shen Yueyao mainly wanted Dabao and Erbao to experience the atmosphere of the college, make more friends with classmates, and exchange knowledge together, which would be better.
It can also improve emotional intelligence.
Shen Yueyao thought for a moment, then said with a change of expression: "How about we open a college?"
Su Xueyi was surprised. "Opening a college?"
He hadn't thought of this.
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "Yes, we must govern Hezhou well, and keep up with agriculture, economy, culture, and military."
"Culture is also a very important aspect. If the academy is well run, it will not only provide talents for Hezhou, but also for the entire court and other places."
"We can hire our own teachers, teachers who are highly respected and knowledgeable. We can set our own school rules and regulations, prohibiting fighting, prohibiting comparisons, and prohibiting bribery..."
"Every time we take an exam, there are rewards for those who perform well, as well as scholarships. We can also provide financial aid to help those talented but poor students who cannot afford to go to school..."
"We can also set up a literary club in school so that everyone can exchange knowledge."
"Now that printing has been invented, we can print more books and set up a library in the college to make it easier for everyone to study."
"After the academy is established, we can organize some activities with famous colleges in Liuzhou to let everyone get to know each other and learn from each other, and enhance the learning atmosphere..."
"Especially since we run our own academy, it's easier for us to establish correct ideas and concepts, which can help everyone be healthy both physically and mentally, and when they become officials in the future, they will be willing to be good officials serving the people."
If they feel the warmth while studying, perhaps they will not be extreme when they become officials in the future and will be willing to be good officials.
In fact, Shen Yueyao came up with these ideas when she thought about schools in the technological age.
Anyway, she felt that fighting was strictly prohibited in the academy.
Moreover, after setting up a literary club, you can publish some good articles in newspapers.
With the technology of printing, we can print many copies at once for everyone to read.
Step by step, we can start a campus newspaper, then a newspaper in Hezhou, and then the entire Dayan Dynasty.
After hearing this, Su Xueyi stood up excitedly.
"Great, this is a great idea."
Su Xueyi's mood became excited.
"I was originally thinking about managing the academy, but your idea is still better, Yaoniang."
"It is easier for us to set up rules and regulations and manage the academy we run ourselves."
"It would be best to set up an admission threshold so that those playboys with limited knowledge cannot enter the academy."
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "Of course, you must have good moral character and good knowledge to study at the academy."
"However, those poor students who have no foundation should also be given a chance to study in the academy."
Su Xueyi nodded and said, "That's exactly what we should do."
Su Xueyi was also inspired by Shen Yueyao's words. "Of those ordinary people, there are actually not many who have a talent for studying. Some people may not be good at studying, but they may be good at martial arts. What do you think about opening a martial arts academy?"
