No matter what tricks the Qin State played, those interested scholars from the Hundred Schools of Thought could not resist the temptation.
At least they have decided to go to Xianyang to find out first.
As for Zhao Jun and the others who sent the message, they didn't have any bad intentions.
The purpose of inviting these scholars here is really to compile textbooks.
Of course, with so many schools, there may be a shortage of teachers.
If these scholars are interested, they can also teach and educate people, which is killing two birds with one stone.
"Sir, we have been informed that the message has been sent out, but it is winter now, and I am afraid they will not reach Xianyang so quickly."
Fusu asked while sitting next to him.
"What do we do next?"
Qingliu was also waiting for the next instructions.
"Indeed, it will take quite some time for them to gather their people and finish the book. Now, we should start preparing to build the school."
The three of them were sitting in the office of the Internal Affairs Office discussing something, and Zhao Jun took out the map that he had prepared earlier.
"Come and take a look. This is a map of Qin's current territory. We need to plan the location of the new primary school."
Fusu and Qingliu came to her side.
"For example, Xianyang, where we are now, is not a small place and is the center of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, Xianyang will definitely plan a relatively large primary school to meet the needs."
"Then what we need to do next is to use the map to identify all the primary schools that need to be planned in all the counties of Qin State, and then find the leaders of the relevant counties and have them start preparing to build the schools as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, it would be a joke if we have teachers and books ready but no houses available."
"What do you think? Tell me your thoughts."
Zhao Jun looked at the two of them and began to ask for their opinions.
After all, this was her first time running a school, so she could only follow some modern experience and move forward by feeling her way forward.
"I think the idea is fine, but you see, the Qin State's territory is already quite large. The method we use to determine the location of the plan may not cover the entire country at the beginning."
Qingliu pointed at the huge map and frowned.
"That's for sure. Everything has to be done step by step. We basically started by building schools in cities with larger populations, and then gradually moved into county towns."
"You can't become rich overnight. The school fees this time won't be high. If the people in the county are interested, it might be a bit harder on the road, but at least there's an opportunity."
"If we want to build schools in most small towns, we'll probably have to wait at least five years. Let's take the first step."
Zhao Jun sighed. She understood Qingliu's desire to benefit all the people, but the conditions were not yet in place.
"Sir, if this is the plan, then we should allocate funds to these counties to build schools. Although we have no problem with the financial reserves here, will this lead to corruption?"
Fusu also put forward his own ideas.
His question was highly praised by Mr. Zhao.
"Fusu, you raise a good question. Since the local government will definitely ask us for money to build a school, I can imagine how they will cry poor."
"However, funding is also necessary. Each county building a school will be required to provide detailed account books and have them signed by the local censor. I will also have Commander Guo carefully review them against the price list previously sent by the local authorities."
"Also, before school finally opens, Xianyang will send people to conduct spot checks in various places. I believe that no county will dare to seek death."
"Understood."
Fusu nodded in praise.
"Okay, let's discuss where to build the school."
The three of them gathered together again to look at the map.
After a few busy days, they basically determined the construction sites of all primary schools. All that was left was to send notices to the officials in these places.
Zhao Jun and the others don't need to do this.
After finishing another task, Zhao Jun, who had been reading books in the office for several days, decided to take a day off.
Ever since Qingliu came back, they have been busy with school matters and haven't even held a proper welcome party.
Although she has been back for half a month now, it does not prevent Zhao Jun from using her as an excuse to take a day off.
"How about it? What do you want to eat or do during your day off tomorrow? Let's go shopping."
After checking in, Zhao Jun stayed in the office of the Nei Shi Mansion, waiting for the end of get off work.
By the way, discuss tomorrow's travel plans with Qingliu in advance.
"Okay, well, for food, I want to go to Xianyang Xiaozhu. I haven't been there for two years and I don't know if the taste has changed. As for places to have fun."
"It's still quite cold now, and there doesn't seem to be much to see in Xianyang. We might get so cold we'll want to go back to the palace before we even start walking around for a while."
Qingliu laughed out loud as if jokingly.
After Zhao Jun thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed possible.
It's so cold outside, where is there anything to go?
The two of them lowered their heads in silence and began to think.
When Fusu just walked in, he saw two silent people.
He asked about the situation in confusion.
"I see. Well, since you have tomorrow off, how about we go together?"
He politely asked Zhao Jun for his opinion.
Of course, Zhao Jun had no objection. After all, it was just a place to rest and eat, so anyone who wanted to come could come.
"Sir, in that case, I will bring Miss Meng with me tomorrow. I have always said that I would bring her to visit you, but I never had the chance."
