Chapter 279: On the Right Track



Zhao Jun could foresee the booming enrollment in primary schools.

However, what surprised her more than the number of people was the ratio of men to women.

Among the more than 700 applicants, there are more than 300 girls.

This was really beyond her imagination.

Although women had not yet been objectified at that time, the culture of favoring boys over girls still existed.

How come there are so many girls signing up?

She asked her doubts.

Qingliu explained.

"I've heard some rumors about this. First of all, the people of Xianyang are living a good life now. Even if the tuition fee is paid to a girl, it won't cost much."

"Secondly, it's because of you, my Lord."

She looked at Zhao Jun and smiled.

Because of me?

"Because the master is a female official, and the opening of this school was also the master's idea, many people send their daughters to study there, hoping that they can become as powerful as the master in the future."

What Qingliu said was almost right.

Zhao Jun nodded and figured out the reason.

"But I'm afraid only Xianyang has so many girls. There should be far fewer girls in other small places."

Qing Liu paused and added.

That’s right, slightly poorer places can’t do this.

The registration and opening of primary schools in various parts of Qin State are still being hotly discussed.

Time soon came and the school started.

April 15th is the day when all primary schools start classes.

Zhao Junfu, Su Qingliu and others also arrived at Xianyang Primary School on time, waiting for the start of school and even the first class.

Zhao Jun stood at the school gate and looked up at the plaque hanging next to the gate.

Xianyang Primary School.

It really feels like transcending time and space.

She actually built a primary school in this era.

Zhao Jun let out a long sigh and stood at the door with a smile.

Well, it feels like I’m back in school and become the principal who catches students.

The school's scheduled class time is Chenshi, but now, just after Maoshi, people have already arrived at the school gate with their children.

These people were dressed differently, ranging from ordinary people to businessmen doing business in Xianyang.

But today their faces were all filled with excited smiles.

Especially when he saw Zhao Jun standing at the door to greet him, he became even more excited.

All the teachers at the school gate were full of fighting spirit, as it was their first time.

Zhao Jun and his companions just stood by and watched, without going over to make any comments.

Let the teachers complete the tasks of picking up and dropping off students to school according to the procedures, so that they will be more comfortable doing it in the future.

After the hour of Chen all the children arrived.

What remains is for the teachers to divide the students into classes and grade them.

They didn't follow him, but just wandered around the campus slowly for a while.

As soon as the children came in, they were surprised by the spacious and bright classroom.

The girls were in a separate class and were a little bit incredulous when they saw the equally spacious classroom.

But what was even more shocking was yet to come: the school actually gave them textbooks.

No one has more than three copies. Both the packaging and the paper are very good.

Many people don’t even have a single book at home, but now they are given three free books as soon as they enter school.

Everyone cherishes it and can't let it go.

Not only in Xianyang, but all the children in Qin State's primary schools received textbooks in the first class.

Everyone was in disbelief and then carefully preserved it.

After the first day of school, the primary school gradually returned to normal.

Half a month later, they went to inspect the school again.

I found that all the children were familiar with the school and were no longer as nervous as on the first day.

Everyone started their day's study calmly and according to schedule.

Zhao Jun felt very relieved.

At this point, the construction of this primary school is basically completed.

"Okay, it's finally done."

Several people sat around in the Nei Shi Mansion, and Zhao Jun slammed the table.

"Yes, I didn't expect it to work. When we went to inspect the school that day, I felt that the children had changed a lot."

"It's only been half a month and he's already acting very differently."

Fusu was so excited that he couldn't help but sigh,

“Yes, the changes are indeed huge.”

Qingliu nodded in agreement.

"Sir, now that we're done with elementary school, isn't it time to move on to university?"

"You don't know, those senior scholars can't wait any longer."

Fusu is still thinking about his university.

"I think you can't wait."

Zhao Jun glanced at him and joked.

Fusu smiled shyly.

Zhao Jun took a sip of tea, stopped teasing, and spoke seriously.

"Fusu, I have to go to court tomorrow. Please come with me and report on my work during this period."

"Yes, sir."

Fusu quickly agreed.

On the second day, the rare Zhao Jun stood in the court again, this time with the eldest son.

The officials suddenly had different thoughts.

But most people had guessed it, after all, news about the elementary school was spreading like wildfire during this period.

Today, he probably came to the court specifically to show off and ask for credit.

Li Si still stood at the front with a smile on his face, secretly feeling happy in his heart.

After all, he also contributed to the construction of primary schools and the compilation of textbooks.

Soon Ying Zheng appeared above wearing his black court robes.

As usual, the first part is still the memorials from the ministers, etc.

It was not until the end, when the final performance began, that Zhao Jun stood up.
