The boy's refusal was so sincere that it didn't seem fake.
Ying Zheng's frown slowly relaxed, and his expression softened considerably.
Immediately, he glanced sideways at the little boy beside him, a look of pride on his face.
Especially when she saw that he remained calm in the face of fame and fortune, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of her lips.
Chu Yuening was moved by the boy's innocent heart.
Everyone in the world is pursuing fame, wealth and power. It is extremely rare to find someone like him with a mind as pure as a child.
In this way, she would feel more at ease to entrust Jue'er to him.
She smiled lightly, her eyes softened, and her tone was extremely sincere.
"Don't underestimate yourself. Your talent is rare in the world."
"No one can teach Jue'er except you."
Ying Zheng also admired the young man very much and no longer cared about the previous offense.
His expression became gentle, but his voice was full of dominance.
"Since Jue'er has recognized you, then you are worthy of being the master's teacher."
Ying Jue was more direct.
He bowed to Lu Qi as a disciple and spoke solemnly.
"teacher."
"this......"
Lu Qi deeply understood what it meant to "be hard to refuse such kindness" and began to waver in his heart.
After a few breaths, he sighed deeply, and the hesitation on his face gradually turned into determination.
"Oh, whatever!"
"Since you don't mind my ignorance, I will accept the offer and will teach you everything I know in the future."
Seeing that he finally agreed, Ying Zheng smiled heartily.
"Hahaha, Shan!"
"I appoint you as a doctor today. Please teach Master Jue carefully in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely live up to your trust."
Although he was not very interested in the official position, Luqi still thanked His Majesty for his kindness.
Chu Yuening was thoughtful and knew that the young man might value something more than fame and fortune.
After a little thought, she roughly guessed something and spoke tentatively.
"Mohism emphasizes practice. I will order the construction of a research room in the palace so that Lu Qing can teach."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
The surprise came so suddenly that Lu Qi was a little incoherent for a moment. He was so overjoyed that he couldn't hide his excitement.
Faced with the young man's tears of gratitude, Chu Yuening nodded reservedly. On the surface, she looked dignified and generous, but in fact she was secretly proud of herself.
Hehe, she is indeed a beautiful girl with both beauty and wisdom.
The woman looked serious, but there was a smug smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, like a cunning little fox.
Perhaps others could not see the clues, but Ying Zheng, as her partner, was very familiar with it.
His thin lips curled slightly, his sharp phoenix eyes drooped slightly, his eyes were gentle like water, full of doting.
From then on, Lu Qi became the teacher of Prince Jue of the Qin Empire.
At that time, he could not have anticipated what a huge storm the two of them would create together in the future.
Time flies, and in a flash, midsummer is quietly coming to an end.
Daqin arrived in mid-March.
Thanks to Fu Sheng's hard work, the first batch of teachers for Mingyue Primary School were all gathered.
It must be said that he has an excellent ability to judge people.
All the teachers have good moral character and noble moral integrity, and have passed the test of the stone of conscience.
Therefore, the hidden worry in Chu Yuening's heart completely disappeared.
After the teaching staff are prepared, the next step is to recruit students.
The original enrollment date was set for April in early autumn, but considering that we had no experience in enrollment for the first time, it was moved forward half a month to reserve sufficient time.
Inside Zhangtai Palace.
Chu Yuening and Fu Sheng are discussing the enrollment details in detail.
Ying Zheng was reviewing memorials on the side, occasionally adding some suggestions.
However, although it was called a discussion, it was actually Chu Yuening who was explaining and Fu Sheng who was listening.
"...only children aged six to fifteen are admitted, divided into six grades..."
"...each grade is assigned an academic affairs teacher who is responsible for managing student affairs..."
"Also, you don't need to charge tuition fees, just tuition and miscellaneous fees."
After hearing the last sentence, Fu Sheng was slightly stunned, and felt admiration in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Majesty is righteous!"
Chu Yuening did not smile when she heard the compliments.
She raised her eyes and gazed out the window, her dark brows slightly furrowed, a hint of melancholy in her eyes, like the distant mountains shrouded in apricot mist and jade.
The cicadas outside were still chirping noisily, but the sun was no longer as bright as it was in midsummer, casting only sparse shadows.
It indicates that a harvest season is coming.
She withdrew her gaze and sighed softly.
"Even if it's free, there are still parents who won't send their children to school..."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng and Fu Sheng fell silent.
Neither of them is a simple-minded person and has seen all kinds of people in the world.
How could they not understand the worry in the woman's words?
"Forget it, we'll discuss this later."
Chu Yuening knew that not everything could be accomplished overnight, so she suppressed her impatience and stopped sighing.
Then, her face became serious and she continued to instruct on some important matters.
"Fu Qing, we must organize a baseline test before school starts."
"Only by understanding the students' knowledge level can we properly place them at the appropriate age."
"Your Majesty has considered everything carefully. I will certainly follow your instructions."
Fu Sheng replied respectfully, his eyes full of admiration.
It was his first time to experience graded instruction, so he did tend to overlook many details.
Now that I think about it, this method is novel, but extremely practical.
Students of the same level are grouped together for teaching, which makes it easier for teachers to teach and allows students to keep up with their classmates and learn and progress together.
