The construction of the university is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Construction of primary schools in other counties is also underway.
Fusu received scholars from hundreds of schools of thought for nearly a month.
Now it’s finally almost here.
He reported the news to Zhao Jun and waited for her next instructions.
“Almost everyone is here.”
Zhao Jun and Qing Liu were drinking tea comfortably in the room of the Nei Shi Mansion.
"I see. It's about time I meet up with everyone and have a chat."
She replied to Fusu and informed those scholars that she would meet with them together tomorrow.
The next day arrived quickly.
After Zhao Jun finished packing, he took Qingliu Fusu with him.
Those scholars were also looking forward to meeting Zhao Jun. They had been here for a month, but they had no news and had not seen the person in charge, so they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
Only Mr. Shi Si, the only one who had met Mr. Zhao, remained calm.
"Mr. Shi, why are you so calm? Could this be a conspiracy by the Qin State? You should know that the King of Qin hates Confucian scholars the most. Sir, you must be careful."
A young scholar ran up to Shi Si and said worriedly.
Shi Si just smiled faintly and said nothing.
The news released by the Qin State this time was very widespread and indicated generous rewards, so many scholars came to the country.
Of course, the knowledge of these people varies. The young man who just spoke is obviously not very knowledgeable.
Everyone gathered in the hall, whispering from time to time.
After a while, Zhao Jun arrived with his men. At first glance, there were probably dozens of people there, which was quite a lot.
"Good morning, gentlemen."
She greeted everyone very politely.
The scholars in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never heard that a woman would be the one to announce the recruitment information, and they were all a little surprised for a moment.
But everyone soon came to their senses. Although they were surprised, they did not say much.
In fact, during the Warring States period, the status of women had not been so degraded, at least not as serious as during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Therefore, people are relatively accepting of women working as laborers.
"Good morning, my Lord."
Many scholars were stunned for a moment and then quickly responded politely.
Zhao Jun smiled faintly. As expected, intellectuals always seem so polite no matter what time.
"Let me introduce myself first. I'm the Internal Affairs Secretary Zhao Jun, and I'm the one who announced this recruitment."
She introduced herself to everyone as is customary nowadays.
"Then let's not exchange pleasantries for now and get straight to the point. Everyone must be a little confused as to why Great Qin would suddenly summon scholars from hundreds of schools of thought."
She kept the secret for a while and then began to explain the purpose of her release.
He also revealed to everyone the news that Qin State planned to popularize education and build primary schools.
Before Zhao Jun could say anything, the people underground were shocked.
Universal education?!
Let both boys and girls go to primary school? !
A school is already being built locally, and the tuition will be very cheap?!
Didn't they hear that Qin was planning to build an academy that would blend the teachings of hundreds of schools of thought? How did it become universal education now?
Everyone was stunned, and of course most of them were in disbelief.
Universal education is just empty talk. There has never been such a saying since ancient times. Besides, would the high-ranking officials of Qin agree to it?
For a moment, the people sitting down had different thoughts, and some of them secretly sneered.
Mr. Shi was also shocked, but after a moment he found it interesting.
He really wanted to know what that adult would do.
"Brother Zikang, what do you think? Is that girl just bragging?"
A middle-aged man next to him, who also had a white beard, quietly patted Shi Si's knee.
He looked younger than Shi Si and was an old acquaintance of Shi Si, so he spoke very casually.
"Brother Huanhua, don't worry. I don't think so."
Shi Si replied with a smile.
"That's right. Actually, I just came here to join in the fun. This matter probably has nothing to do with our medical family."
The man named Huanhua sighed.
They, the medical school, have never had much presence among the hundreds of medical schools.
"not necessarily."
The old man stroked his beard and continued talking with a smile.
"I know everyone is surprised, but this thing is bound to be carried out, and everyone will see the results in the future."
"Now let me talk about something that concerns you personally. The first reason I invited you all here this time is to ask you to compile a book!"
It’s good to edit books. Who doesn’t want to leave behind their own theories?
"The compilation of books this time is very simple. The main purpose is to provide teaching textbooks for the primary schools that will be established soon."
"That is to say, in the near future, every elementary school established in the Qin State will use the books you have compiled, and the authors will be noted."
Zhao Jun spoke slowly, but he threw a big bombshell to the listeners.
Every school would use the books they compiled and would sign their names.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become famous!
Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement, and they didn't care whether the primary school could be built or not.
Anyway, they hope it will be built!
"Gentlemen, you should understand what a great opportunity this is. In the future, Qin will build more and more primary schools, and all students will study the books you have compiled. They will all be your students, right?"
What she said was extremely tempting, even Shi Si, who was not easily moved by praise or criticism, was moved, let alone others.
