Chapter 724 Meeting 2
Qin Chuchu displayed the drawings in her hand in front of everyone and was about to explain them to everyone when Grand Tutor Sun and Dean Su, who were sitting below, stood up.
"I wonder if the princess would allow me to read it?"
The two came up to her, pointed at the drawings in her hand, and said in unison.
I was originally skeptical about this matter, and now seeing the princess take out the blueprint, I was eager to see what the details were.
“………………” Qin Chuchu was stunned.
Looking at their excited expressions, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely. These two old men were quite excited.
He had no doubt that if he didn't show them the drawings, they would definitely snatch them away, so he nodded.
"Oh, okay."
"Thank you!" The two of them looked happy.
At the same time, he took the drawing and his eyes were immediately glued to it. The more he looked at it, the more surprised and excited he became.
“This, this…”
He spoke for a long time without saying a complete sentence, which stunned everyone present.
I don’t know what was drawn on the drawing that made the two adults so excited.
Even Lord Zhao and General Cheng stood up and came over. When they saw the contents on the drawing, they were also stunned.
Although they are all laymen, the drawings are clearly marked, allowing people to see the overall picture at a glance. The scale is not small.
Seeing that the old men seemed to be talking endlessly, Qin Chuchu spoke up to remind them at the right time.
"How about we wait until the meeting is over and then have a look at it? Let me explain it to you first."
Realizing that they had lost their composure, the adults came to their senses and nodded repeatedly.
"Oh, okay, I'll do as your princess wishes."
The drawings then returned to Qin Chuchu's hands. Looking at the crowd who were already impatient, she began to explain.
"The college initially plans to dig one hundred troglodyte courtyards. In addition to being able to accommodate all the students from Qingzhou Prefecture and Jibei, it will also include dormitories for their accommodation.
Children whose homes are far away and cannot go to school every day can live in the college. Food and accommodation are all cost-effective and no profit will be made.
Our college not only accepts boys, but also girls, and the courses we offer are not limited to science examinations.
In addition, some technical courses will be offered, such as carpentry, bricklaying, and repair for boys.
Girls like music, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery and handicrafts.
Even if our children cannot take the imperial examination and become officials, they will be able to master a skill and support their families when they graduate from college.
In addition, everyone knows that we are at the border and we must be prepared for danger in times of peace, so we will also add martial arts classes, and both boys and girls must learn martial arts.
If an enemy invades, each of us will be a powerful soldier, protecting not only ourselves but also our families."
Qin Chuchu looked at the people in front of her and spoke loudly.
This is what she has been thinking about these days. Those who can enter the official career can be said to be rare. It is impossible for hundreds of thousands of children to all pursue a career in officialdom.
In addition to allowing children to learn knowledge, they can also master a skill, which allows them to support not only themselves but also their entire family.
More importantly, make each of them stronger.
If there ever comes a day when foreign enemies invade, all the people can be mobilized to fight against them.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone became excited, especially General Cheng, who stood up.
"Okay, okay!"
He looked at Princess Chen in front of him, tears welling up in his cloudy old eyes. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
If it is true as Princess Nengchen said, and all the children are allowed to practice martial arts, then there is no need to worry about the unrest in Dayu Kingdom, let alone the invasion of foreign enemies.
In fact, this has been his wish for many years, but it has only been a thought. After all, it costs too much, and there are many reasons why it cannot be completed.
But at this moment, hearing that Princess Chen was going to fulfill his long-cherished wish, he felt very excited.
“…………”Qin Chuchu.
Seeing that the old man's lips were trembling, obviously too excited, he comforted him:
"General Cheng, please be patient and take a seat."
"Oh, okay." Realizing his loss of composure, General Cheng quickly sat down, but he was still so excited that he clenched his fists.
Qin Chuchu looked at the people who were enduring in front of her,
"In addition, in addition to the winter and summer holidays, we also need to adjust the class system and implement a five-day-on, two-day-off system.
This means that after every five days of classes, there will be two days of rest, allowing the children to go home and take a break, and also allowing the teachers to rest.
If you have any comments, now is the time to raise them.”
Qin Chuchu looked at the people in front of her. In fact, this was based on the pattern of her previous life. Otherwise, the children would have classes every day and only have a few days of rest during the summer vacation.
If this continues, I will easily become tired and my learning results will not be very effective, so I thought about imitating my previous life.
Not only can students relax, but teachers can also take some time off.
The crowd, who had been unable to contain themselves any longer, began to make a noise and chatter among themselves.
After a long while, someone finally raised his hand to speak. It was an old man sitting in the front.
"Excuse me, Princess, how much is the children's medical expenses?"
The old man had been holding it in for a long time, and he hadn't heard the princess talk about tuition fees, but he was still paying attention to this matter.
“…………”Qin Chuchu.
She was so annoyed that she wanted to slap herself on the head for forgetting such an important thing, so she looked at the people in front of her with a smile.
"Everyone, rest assured, this palace and the prince did not build this academy for profit, so the training fees are free, and the children do not need to spend money to study.
Even the daily pens, ink, paper, and inkstones will be purchased by the academy and sold to the children at cost price.”
After saying that, she glanced at the man next to her, and the man nodded at everyone in cooperation.
"The princess is right."
When the prince heard what the princess said, he nodded, and everyone present started to make noise again, grinning with joy.
Now I feel relieved. When I heard the princess say that she wanted to build such a large academy, I thought it would cost a lot of money for the children to study.
Some people even had already started to back out, but this time they felt relieved.
Since studying is free and even food is cost-calculated, what is there to worry about?
I thought that when I get back I must tell everyone that no matter whether they are boys or girls, they should be sent to the college.
Even if I can't pursue a career in politics, I can still learn a skill. When I think that my children will have the ability to support themselves, my heart is filled with joy.
Seeing everyone looking relieved, Qin Chuchu felt very happy.
"Since everyone has no objection, let's talk about the next thing."
After saying that, he pointed in the direction of Qingzhou Prefecture.
"I think everyone here knows how difficult this road is to travel on, so I have discussed with the prince that we will implement the policy of connecting every village with a road. We plan to build a road in every village.
Not only will it not be washed away when it rains, but children who go to school nearby will not miss their classes.”
"Highway?" Everyone was stunned.
