Both men and women must learn the most basic knowledge, such as counting." Li Yun briefly explained the academy she planned to establish to the village chief.
"Girl, no matter what you study, the village chief will support you.
"I don't agree to boys and girls studying together. After all, men and women are strictly separated, and this will damage the reputation of women," the village chief said with some embarrassment.
"Village chief, you misunderstood. What I meant by boys' and girls' academies are not boys and girls in the same classroom. Instead, they are separated, with boys on one side and girls on the other, separated by a high wall." Li Yun was thinking of girls' schools and boys' schools.

"Then, uncle Village Chief, I'm going back." After saying this, Li Yun left the Village Chief's house, returned home, and told his family about the beam raising tomorrow.
