Morning light streamed through the carved window lattices, casting dappled shadows inside the room. The prefect and a group of officials gathered around a large table, their eyes fixed on the exquisitely drawn map.
As the map unfolds, it resembles a magnificent scroll painting slowly being painted. The mountains and rivers meander and twist, like a giant dragon coiling and lying in wait, while the towns and cities are scattered in an orderly fashion, like stars adorning the earth.
The rivers meander through the landscape like silver ribbons, with every detail meticulously marked.
Every stroke of the painting demonstrates the artist's dedication and professionalism, making one wonder about the preparation work behind it.
Their admiration grew stronger, and they secretly gave a thumbs up to Qin Qianluo for her foresight and the meticulousness of her preparations, marveling at her work.
Upon hearing what Jinrui Zhaowang Qin Qianluo said, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't help but gasp. They looked at each other in disbelief, exchanging glances.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and deep shock. The atmosphere froze instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The prefect, filled with doubt, frowned and stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, bowing very low, his tone carrying a hint of trepidation and an eager thirst for knowledge.
He cautiously asked, "Your Highness, there are already quite a few academies in Jinxiu County, and the locations you have chosen are all quite spacious."
The construction of this academy is likely quite large in scale. I wonder if Your Highness has any special considerations in mind?
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo's face showed a gentle smile, as warm as the spring sun, and her eyes held a hint of praise.
He nodded slightly, acknowledging the prefect's keen insight and inquiring questions.
She picked up her teacup, took a small sip of the fragrant tea, and as the steam rose, the aroma of the tea spread between her teeth, its rich fragrance lingering on her nose.
After pausing briefly to clear his mind, he spoke slowly and gracefully: "I aspire to establish a place for educating people."
Whether they are toddlers learning to speak or students about to enter adulthood, they can all immerse themselves in learning here.
These locations have been preliminarily identified, and more plans will follow. My wish is that every county can have such an academy, and…”
Qin Qianluo paused briefly, her gaze sweeping steadily over the crowd before continuing in an orderly manner: "These academies will be divided into three departments: primary school, junior high school, and senior high school."
I will carefully compile and perfect the specific plans for the department, and I will also carefully draw up the blueprints for the construction of the academy. At that time, you can construct the academy according to the blueprints.
You may also inform the public in advance that there will be no tuition fees for primary and junior high school students.
However, all school-age children in the Jinxiu County must come to the academy for education.
This is not only an opportunity for children to grow and progress, but also a chance to cultivate future pillars of the county.
If it is later found that a school-age child has not enrolled in school, the family will need to pay more grain as a contribution to the county's education system.
Furthermore, students who study at our college will be given priority consideration during high school and university admissions.
The prefect and a group of officials held their breath and listened intently to Qin Qianluo's detailed explanation of the academy's plans.
At first, everyone was able to follow the train of thought closely, nodding slightly from time to time, expressing their agreement with their eyes or brief agreement.
However, as Qin Qianluo's narration deepened, a flood of innovative ideas, complex arrangements, and unprecedented concepts came rushing in.
The doubts in their hearts grew like wild grass in spring, proliferating haphazardly and rapidly.
The expressions on the officials' faces gradually became serious.
Some frowned slightly, their eyes revealing confusion and contemplation, as if they were trying to sort out the complex information.
Some unconsciously bit their lips and shook their heads slightly, finding certain concepts difficult to understand.
Others whispered among themselves, trying to unravel their confusion.
Several times their lips parted slightly, as if they wanted to say something but then stopped themselves, the question already on the tip of their tongue, only to be forcibly swallowed back.
Every time a question was about to be uttered, the officials would involuntarily recall the various deeds of King Jinrui Zhao.
Those seemingly risky, bold, and unconventional decisions were ultimately proven to be incredibly wise, bringing about tremendous changes and vigorous development to Jinxiu County.
Whether it's revitalizing commerce or improving people's livelihoods, His Highness Prince Zhao always manages to seize opportunities accurately and make the most correct judgments.
Thinking of all this, they swallowed back the words that were about to come out, secretly convinced that the prince was always far-sighted and insightful in his actions.
Since a complete plan has already been made, they should simply follow it meticulously, and time will reveal the truth and the full meaning.
The prefect hesitated repeatedly, going through a fierce internal struggle.
He longed to resolve his doubts, but he also worried that asking questions rashly might disrupt King Zhao's train of thought or make him appear unwise.
But his thirst for knowledge ultimately overcame his concerns, and with a mixture of caution and eagerness, he finally stepped forward.
He bowed slightly, clasped his hands together, and respectfully bowed, his movements slow and solemn, his eyes always lowered, expressing deep respect.
Then, he asked softly, "Your Highness's foresight and promotion of education is truly a blessing for Jinxiu County."
"However, I still have some doubts about the location of this university. Does Your Highness have any suitable places in mind? I would be grateful if Your Highness could offer some guidance."
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo's gaze slowly shifted back to the map spread out on the large table.
Her gaze was focused and profound, as if she could see through the blueprint and discern the future trajectory of the entire Jinxiu County.
