Chapter 2283 Recruitment
Upon hearing this, Chang Jiayi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately asked, "What about my daughter...?"
"The academy will assign each employee a dormitory room, either for one person or four people to a room, and the rooms will be quite large. If you have a family, you will be assigned a separate room, but the room will be smaller. Later, after the recruitment is completed, someone will take you to see the dormitories."
Chang Jiayi's eyes lit up. "Thank you, County Princess Lu."
"Alright, it's still early. You can take the little girl around and have some tea and snacks outside. Don't let the child go hungry."
"yes."
Chang Jiayi left, and Shu Yu looked at another student.
This student is over fifty years old and has reportedly been trying to advance to higher levels of the examination for over thirty years, but has yet to receive a result.
He himself had long since given up on taking the exam, but his family disagreed. In the past, his family was well-off and could afford to support him. Now, however, their fortunes had declined, his wife had passed away, and his children blamed him for being incompetent, saying that at his advanced age, all he could do was study and nothing else.
This old scholar, having studied for many years, still retained some pride. Being disliked by his children like this, he was unwilling to stay at home.
He heard that they were hiring here, so he came to give it a try.
I don't know about his other skills, but Shu Yu has seen his handwriting, and it's very beautiful, with a neat, printed-out style.
The old scholar said that he actually had no talent for studying, otherwise he would not have failed to pass the county-level examination for so many years.
Because he lacked talent but was burdened with high expectations from his family, he could only memorize by rote, often reciting or copying books.
After writing so much, my hands not only developed calluses, but my handwriting also became very beautiful.
In that case, wouldn't the old scholar be just the right person to handle the copying matters in the academy in the future?
Shu Yu decided to keep the person, and the old scholar was very happy, feeling as if he had found his value in a daze.
Shu Yu then interviewed several more people, some of whom were literate and some were illiterate.
However, most of the people who came were men, and the few women seemed very uneasy, as if they regretted coming here.
However, one of the women was a very good cook. The academy had a canteen, and while they had a head chef, they were short of a helper.
This woman used to be a cook in a wealthy family; to say the least, she made very exquisite dishes.
Shu Yu pondered that the cafeteria could be a large, fixed dining hall, but it would also be possible to order individual dishes.
If she's not comfortable here, Shu Yu wouldn't mind bringing her back to his home.
The recruitment process was proceeding smoothly. In addition to recruiting for the academy, she also had her eye on a few people she planned to recruit into her own workshop.
On Shu Yu's side, the recruitment business at Naxian Hall was in full swing, while on the other side, Taoli Hall was even more bustling with activity.
After Meng Yunzheng and the others arrived outside Taoli Hall, they repeated the admission requirements.
"For this enrollment, students must be five years of age or older. The introductory class will run from age five to sixteen."
This requirement is mainly because five years old is just right. Any younger and it's not about enlightening the child, it's about taking care of the child.
As for the age limit of sixteen, that's because sixteen is the legal marriage age for men. Of course, it's never too late to study, but starting education at this age indicates that the family's circumstances are not good. At sixteen, he's already a strong laborer in the family, and may even be married with children. The road to education is long and arduous. He has no problem with studying, but if he only starts to drain his parents, wife, and children of all their resources when it's time to shoulder family responsibilities, then Meng Yunzheng doesn't intend to accept such a student.
