As a person from ancient times, although Lan An was not favored when he was a child, he had plenty of maids and old women to serve him. In other words, as a prince, he was accustomed to being served since he was a child.

Although he is grown up now and no longer needs maids to help him dress, he thinks this is normal.

Even the emperor was helped by palace maids to wash and change clothes when he went to court every day, and there was nothing wrong with that.

After all, status and position are here.

Chu Qiuze simply couldn't accept that. Although he was also a rich boy who was raised in a pampered manner, he was taught by his parents and brother to be independent since he was a child.

At the age of three, he could dress himself and tie his shoes.

Even after his legs were crippled and he was discharged from the hospital and returned home, he didn't think of finding someone to serve him meals and clothes. He only kept an auntie to cook for him and help with cleaning.

He has always been the one to take care of things like dressing himself.

"My friend Lan, why don't you teach me how to wear it?"

Lan An compromised. He took out a short shirt and said, "Wear this one first. I don't have any extra underwear for you. Don't take off your pajamas."

Underwear is private clothing, equivalent to modern underwear, and definitely cannot be worn by others.

Chu Qiuze understood and obediently put on the short shirt.

Then the next piece became troublesome because it was long and I had to stand up, otherwise it would all pile up behind my butt.

Wearing them layer by layer is both troublesome and ugly. The same goes for these pants. They are different from the way modern pants are worn.

But Chu Qiuze didn't think it was a problem. He came up with an idea, "Friend Lan, please help me put it on."

Blue Gum: “….”

Changing clothes, such an intimate thing, how could he do this when he and Chu Qiu Ze haven't even gotten married yet?

Chu Qiuze didn't intend to let him go just like that. He pouted and said aggrievedly, "Friend Lan, you are not disliking me because I am disabled, are you?"

He had never thought about this problem before, and had never felt inferior because of his disability.

Besides, it’s not like his legs can’t be healed.

Now that it was suddenly brought up, he really wanted to hear Lan An's thoughts.

"No." Lan An said briefly, picked up the clothes resignedly and put them on him carefully.

Chu Qiuze was happy and obediently let Lan An play with him.

Finally, he lifted his legs and said, "Look, my legs are slowly getting better, and I'll be able to walk soon."

Changing clothes inevitably involves physical contact, and Lan An could even feel the slender waist that could be held in one hand. His face was flushed throughout the whole process, and he didn't notice what Chu Qiu Ze said at all.

I just nodded numbly as a response.

Chu Qiuze knew that he was shy. Anyway, his goal had been achieved, so he didn't care about Lan An's indifference at the moment.

"Let's go, the school is about to start."

Although there is no opening ceremony, it is still necessary to inspect the teachers' work and the students' acceptance level.

"Have breakfast first." Lan An insisted. They came early in the morning and the place was in chaos.

I have things to do today, so I definitely can't skip breakfast.

Chu Qiuze was very satisfied that Lan An paid so much attention to healthy eating. "Wait a minute, I'll go home and get it."

I was very busy recently, and all the meals I ate were prepared by Lan An.

This is a big city after all, and although the food is not as good as modern food, it is not too bad.

However, it's okay to improve the taste of blue friends occasionally.

The aunt who cooks comes on time at 7 o'clock every day and leaves after cooking.

It was almost 8 o'clock at this time, and Chu Qiuze went back openly to get breakfast and came back.

Simple bread, milk, and a salad.

The two of them had breakfast in Lan An's bedroom, and then arranged personnel to start patrolling the school.

The group first went to the girls' school.

Compared to the other three schools, the girls' school has the fewest students, and the entire Rujing City only recruits more than 400 female students.

Although Chu Qiuze and Lan An succeeded in making the people no longer oppose girls going to school, they could not make all the people accept their daughters going to school.

This is an inevitable process.

Take your time, don't rush.

The teaching materials he revised can be completed in two years. By then, this batch of students will graduate and others will be able to see the changes in these female students, so they will naturally not refuse them anymore.

The female students were divided into four classes according to their age, and were originally scheduled to study Chinese in the morning and mathematics in the afternoon.

The female teachers had all been trained, and Chu Qiuze listened outside the classroom for a while.

Not bad, I've passed the test. At least I've grasped the knowledge in the textbook thoroughly.

Chu Qiuze nodded, basically satisfied.

But when I think about the fact that this school only has two subjects, Chinese and math, it is inevitably a bit boring.

There must also be all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor.

He thought about it, and then discussed with Lan An: "Let's hire another art teacher and an embroidery teacher."

Let’s not consider playing the musical instrument and chess for now; these elegant hobbies are not suitable for ordinary people.

Blue Eucalyptus was a little confused.

Chu Qiuze explained: "Art and embroidery classes are optional for students, which means that students can choose whether to study or not. The courses are free, but students have to prepare the necessary materials themselves."

Lan An still doesn't quite understand why this school teaches painting and embroidery.

Ordinary students, if they want to learn the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, rituals, music, archery, and mathematics, usually find a teacher to teach them individually.

"You are stupid!" Chu Qiuze gave Lan An a brain-crushing look. "Most of the female students here are not well off. It's so cold and they are wearing so little. If they learn a skill, they will have an extra skill to survive in the future."

Yes, in this day and age, it is very difficult to learn a craft.

If you want to become an apprentice, you have to work as a handyman for him for a few years first. Once he is satisfied, he will start teaching you the skills. The master has the final say on how much he teaches you, but as for how much you can learn, that is your own business.

So what Chu Qiuze meant was to open a technical class!

Anyway, they have enough funds to run the school now.

Regardless of whether they will be useful in the future, it is never a bad thing to let students learn more.

This is the same principle for learning painting and embroidery.

Most women know how to do a little embroidery, which is passed down from generation to generation, but most of them are limited to embroidering flowers or birds.

Few people can get access to more complex ones.

Learning to paint can enhance one's aesthetic sense, and learning embroidery can also help one understand how to match colors.

But there is no conflict if you only learn one.

After listening to his explanation, Lan An had many thoughts.

If all craftsmen can open such a technical class and contribute all those so-called ancestral secret recipes, then Dahan's future development will definitely have a qualitative leap.

"Sure." After listening to Lan An's idea, Chu Qiuze said, "Then let's open another technical school to teach people skills."

But Blue Eucalyptus shook his head, thinking this idea was too simple.

If the people have a skill, it should be passed down from generation to generation so that future generations can be able to support themselves.

"That's not difficult." Chu Qiuze thought for a moment. "Scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans all only have the character gong. You can just raise the character gong a little bit, and that'll be all."

Lan Euan had a flash of inspiration. Yes, besides money, what ordinary people pursue most is fame and fortune.

If you can't become an official by studying and taking exams, but you can become one by relying on a skill, that would be a different story.

Holding an official position that does not care about practical affairs, teaching students skills, and receiving a salary from the emperor, for ordinary people, that is simply gaining both fame and fortune.

"You are such a lucky star." Lan An was filled with emotion.

Seeing that he understood, Chu Qiuze did not explain further. After all, Lan An must know much more about Dahan's actual situation.

The two then visited three boys' schools.

The threshold of the boys' school was indeed packed with people, and those who insisted on coming to school had to bring their own benches, tables and chairs.

The classroom was packed with people shoulder to shoulder, so densely packed that even the aisles were packed.

But they enjoy themselves.

This is such a good opportunity, no one would want to miss it.

After one morning of inspection, the two returned to the government office.

Discuss what needs to be improved and supplemented.

"A-choo!" Chu Qiuze suddenly sneezed, and snot bubbles came out.

Blue Gum: “…”

It was the first time he saw Chu Qiu Ze being so wicked and funny.

There were no napkins, so Lan An had to contribute her own handkerchief.

"Thank you!" Chu Qiuze blew his nose with a handkerchief without any hesitation.

"The temperature dropped so quickly today," he sighed.

It was early autumn when he first traveled through time, but now it's winter.

"Do you need to take medicine?" Lan An asked concernedly.

Chu Qiuze nodded, feeling a little dizzy and his nose was itchy, it seemed that he had a cold.

He quickly returned to his home, took a packet of cold medicine, put on a down jacket, and then returned to the government office.

"Hey, friend Lan, how do you keep warm in winter here?" Chu Qiuze was curious since there was no air conditioning or heating here.

It's already so cold at the beginning of winter. I wonder how cold it will be when the severe winter comes.

You don't have to rely on shivering to keep warm, do you?

"Ordinary people use charcoal fires to keep warm in winter." Lan An replied: "Wealthier families have ground dragons."

Oh, this is the most primitive floor heating.

"No kang?" Chu Qiuze was curious again. This kang has been popular in the northern region for many years.

Even in modern times, there are still many families with kangs!

Kang? Lan An had never heard of it before. "What is that?"

Chu Qiuze is in high spirits. He has been looking for things that can benefit the whole nation.

The technology to make a kang is urgently needed.

Ordinary people rely on charcoal fires in winter, but they cannot keep them burning all day long because ordinary people cannot afford it.

But this kang is different. You just need to burn wood, and the whole room will be warm.

He felt that these newly established schools should also be put to use. They were the flowers of the motherland. It was too much to catch a cold just to go to school.

Moreover, in this place with backward medical care, a cold can be fatal.

Chu Qiuze quickly told Lan An his idea, as well as the materials and manpower needed to make the kang.

Lan An instantly became alert when he heard this. In Dahan, many people were frozen to death every year.

If this kang can be popularized, it will benefit the entire Han Dynasty.

Lan An shook his head again helplessly and with emotion. He and Dahan owed Chu Qiu Ze too much.

It really is true that debts are not a burden.

This was serious business and could not be delayed, so Lan An immediately arranged for someone to get started.

Making this kang is a skill. Lan An used the recipe provided by Chu Qiu Ze and provided it to the people free of charge.

This is for the purpose of expanding the work of the technical academy in the future, which is equivalent to setting an example for the royal family.

After almost discussing everything, Chu Qiuze prepared to go back.

I've been working non-stop for a while and I'm really tired. This time I caught a cold and it was like a mountain of illness.

I took a packet of cold medicine, but it didn't help at all. I even started to have a slight fever in the afternoon.

I guess I'll need two injections.

Lan An looked at Chu Qiuze's delicate little face which was flushed red and he looked listless.

His heart felt like it was bitten by ants, densely packed, painful and itchy.

"Go back and rest early." Lan An reminded: "If you don't feel better tomorrow, don't rush over. I will take care of things here."

Chu Qiuze nodded sickly, "Don't worry about things you can't handle, wait for me to come over."

At this moment, he was thinking whether he should arrange a mobile phone for Lan An, otherwise communication would be too inconvenient.
