Chapter 121 Daily Life



Baoer and Qingchuan gained the support of their men, so the Beijing Institute of Technology was established with great fanfare.

I plan to choose a location to build the school first. As for the application and approval of the school construction, anyone from my family who goes there can handle it.

After much deliberation, Baoer and Qingchuan finally decided to build the school not far from Xiaotangshan outside the capital.

Speaking of Xiaotangshan, it is a great place for hot springs. It is said that Emperor Kangxi would build a hot spring palace there in the future.

Baoer and Qingchuan accidentally found the place and discovered that the central part of Xiaotangshan had long been confined by the royal family.

There are large areas of open space outside. Only a few wealthy and powerful people would find small springs there and build a small farm for themselves for recuperation.

Baoer has been attracted by that place since he knew about it. He finally spent a certain amount of money to buy a small spring from someone else and built one for his own home. This location is relatively close to the center and is still under construction.

Baoer thought that after it was built, he could take his parents, his family and his sister there to play for a few days.

As for the college, it was built on a large open space not far from the outskirts of Xiaotangshan. It took about an hour by carriage to reach Xiaotangshan.

This piece of land is about square meters, which is about 18 acres. It is neither big nor small.

Baoer bought the land in full from someone else and started recruiting people to build the school. Qingchuan was responsible for recruiting students.

The two of them planned to recruit children from common people or slightly wealthy families.

After all, anyone with a little power has their own teacher at home, and only when the school becomes famous can it attract those wealthy and powerful people.

So during this period when Baoer was busy with the construction of the college, Qingchuan started asking people to distribute flyers on the streets.

There was an endless stream of publicity, so much so that everyone knew that a school specializing in teaching people various skills had opened on the outskirts of Beijing.

Many wealthy families went to inquire.

The two sisters worked hard for less than two months and were almost ready.

The buildings in the college are designed according to Baoer and Qingchuan's requirements and are two-story teaching buildings.

They even spent a lot of money to build several dormitory buildings. Each room is a standard four-person room with modern double-decker beds and a four-compartment wardrobe for students' personal belongings.

According to Baoer Qingchuan's idea, this school is an all-round school that teaches agriculture, astronomy and geography, economics, mathematics, textiles, clothing and jewelry design, martial arts, mathematics, business management, cooking, music, horse riding and archery, dance, and even literature such as novels, poetry and prose, etc.

Everything that can be thought of is arranged, with the main focus on being all-round.

There will be two teachers for each course, and each teacher will be assigned a teaching assistant.

Since it was a school, of course there were also teachers teaching the Four Books and Five Classics. Baoer Qingchuan also hired three teachers who were scholars and even set aside a separate area for them.

In the later stage, we will arrange for people with higher knowledge to teach the courses according to the situation.

In order to ensure the nutritional needs of the children, the school has built a huge cafeteria, where both expensive and cheap dishes are served according to everyone's needs.

In order to prevent students from comparing themselves to others, Baoer and Qingchuan also set up school uniforms for the students, two sets for summer and two sets for winter. (The school uniforms are similar to the Lan family uniforms in The Untamed, which the author thinks are quite nice.)

Now everything is ready, we just have to wait for the teachers to give us the support.

I have to say that Yinzhen, Yin?, Nian Gengyao, Qingheng and others, as princes and rich noblemen, are really capable. It has only been a short time, but except for a few teachers in niche subjects, they have teachers for most subjects.

Nian Gengyao also introduced two teachers of the Juren degree to Baoer. It is said that these two people have both talent and ability, but they do not want to become officials, so they came at Nian Gengyao's invitation.

After the family had dinner, Baoer first kissed the children and then asked someone to take care of the children and let them rest.

Then he stretched his back which was almost rusted after being busy for several days and said, "After being busy for so long, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Yin'er looked at Bao'er distressedly and said, "Why are you working so hard? Let the subordinates do what's needed. How can you let the master do everything?"

The other men nodded in agreement.

Baoer didn't say anything after hearing what they said. She knew that they all cared about her, and she thought about how busy she had been recently and hadn't gotten along well with them. This wasn't acceptable.

Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The weather is gradually getting warmer.

Baoer thought about the hot spring resort in Xiaotangshan that he had built, which had been completed a month ago.

Then I thought that tomorrow was Nian Gengyao and Qing Heng's day off. So I said, "Why don't we take our parents and children to the hot springs tomorrow? I haven't tried it since the manor was built. Let's just treat it as a family trip."

Yin'er and the other men often heard Bao'er say some new words, and they knew what they meant as soon as they heard them. They were all moved.

Besides, although they knew that Baoer was busy with her career recently, they all had their own ideas about going out for fun this time...

"Okay."

"I have no objection"

Baoer had a good idea, but the next morning, Lin's mother sent someone to tell them that Lin's father was going to take up the new job. The messenger also said that the old couple had been there a few days ago, and if they needed anything, they could go by themselves.

The person also said that the children were still young and it would be better not to go for the time being. She would look after the children and let Baoer and the other young people have fun, and she would not disturb them.

Baoer knew what she meant the moment she heard it. This meant she wanted to get along well with the men, as she had indeed been neglecting them recently.

When Bao'er and the others heard the news, they didn't say anything anymore and didn't feel embarrassed or shy. After all, they were an old couple.

Because they set out early in the morning, they left the city gate early. They also went to see the academy first. It had just been built and all the buildings were brand new.

There were two-story buildings everywhere, with carved beams and painted rafters, and several people kept praising Baoer.

Later, on the way out of the academy and heading to Zhuangzi, Baoer asked, "Do you think I should find a highly respected and knowledgeable scholar to be the dean of the academy? Otherwise, I feel insecure."

Yin laughed and said, "I thought you would be the dean yourself."

Baoer rolled his eyes at him and said, "Look at what you said. How can I possibly suppress it with my culture?"

Bao'er had only been tutored by Nian Gengyao for a while a few years before and passed the exam to become a scholar. She had also tried again last year, but ultimately didn't learn enough to pass the exam, so she'd have to wait and see if she had another chance in the future. So she knew her own limitations. How could she possibly be qualified for the position of dean?
