He Jinzhuo suddenly said, "I have heard some news. I heard that since last winter, the old lady ordered everyone in the family to learn to read and write with the champion. As a result, the old lady mastered all the elementary books in less than a month, which was a big blow to the other people in the Qiao family.
Since she learned to read, the old lady has shown amazing talent, making rapid progress and mastering everything. All the books selected for the collection were personally selected by her for His Majesty and the gentleman to review.
Many people said that if the court allowed women to take the imperial examination, the old lady would definitely be among the top three candidates. "
"How...is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible. The world is so big that nothing is impossible. There are so many talented people. Just because we haven't met them doesn't mean they don't exist. A year ago, this place was still a wasteland. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, would you believe that someone could transform this place into such a prosperous place in just half a year? Ask yourself, who among you and me can do it?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
If someone had told them that this could be done before they came, they would definitely think that the other person was extremely arrogant!
But the facts are before us, they really did it, and did it better than they imagined!
He Jinzhuo continued, "If I'm not mistaken, what Madam Qiao really wants to do is not just to run a college mainly for civilians. The next step should be to promote women to enter the school. Maybe Laohu Town will become the first coeducational college in Dajing!"
"How can this be possible? There has never been a precedent for coeducation of boys and girls since ancient times."
"It's not that there is none in the world, it's just that Da Jing doesn't have it for now, and Dong Yi has already started!"
The young emperor of Dongyi was young, and the empress dowager was in charge of government affairs. She appointed many women as officials and promoted co-education in the Imperial Academy, which was unprecedented. Moreover, it had been running for five years, and no bad rumors had been spread.
Someone whispered, "Could it be that she wants to emulate the Queen Mother of Dongyi?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You call yourself a teacher. Do you feel so bad about admitting that women are not weak? What would happen if there were a few more women like the old lady in Dajing? Think about it carefully. If you can't take over the common people's students calmly after leaving this world, you'd better leave as soon as possible."
Liang Shengming regretted that he had accepted so many people who came here because of his reputation. It seemed that he was only suitable for teaching and educating people, not for managing a college. Fortunately, he knew his own limitations and did not agree to be the president of Qingyang Academy. Qiao Xin would have to worry about the subsequent selection of personnel.
He Jinzhuo and Zhang Zheng noticed that Liang Shengming looked unwell, and asked worriedly, "Sir, are you okay?"
"It's okay. The people working in the fields should be back by now. Let's go see how much millet the Qiao family has produced per mu."
The people in the fields have indeed returned. In the area planned by Qiao Xin in the morning, they completed the harvesting task ahead of schedule. Now they are all gathered on the threshing floor, taking turns to dust the millet and then weigh it.
Manager Cao was covered in dust and straw scraps mixed with sweat, and his face was covered with deep and light streaks.
She had no idea how many loads of millet she had taken over. She had been writing with the brush all morning. Her two fingers were already extremely sore, but her mouth was still grinning.
This is a good job. The more they remember, the more grain the Qiao family can harvest. Not only this year, they won't go hungry in the next three to five years.
This day of harvest is a mixture of bitterness and sweetness mixed with honey.
Uncle Jiu followed behind Qiao Xin, looking at the dozens of acres of wheat fields with piles of grain, with unspeakable envy in his eyes. When would their Leiwo Village have such a good harvest?
Seeing Qiao Xin and the others coming over, Manager Cao came over and asked, "Madam, do you want to store the grain first and have someone clean it out and dry it tomorrow morning?"
"No, the weather has been good these past few days, so there's no need to bother. Send someone to watch over them at night. They've been drying them for four days straight. There's almost no moisture left today, so we'll store them all at once."
"Okay, I'll tell them later. How many days do we have to finish the harvest? Is it time to pick the white mulberry in the field? I see that all the mulberries have cracked."
Qiao Xin had already made up her mind, and when she heard this, she ordered: "All the elder men should go to harvest the grain, and it should be no problem in five days. The women, the young wives, and even the children are easy to collect and work faster, so transfer them to pick the white mulberry."
"I'll arrange it right away!"
When Emperor Wu entered the village, he saw so many white daisy trees. There were many of them in the imperial garden of the palace, but they were just for viewing. I really don't know what the purpose of Qiao Xin planting so many of them was?
"I heard you planted more than 300 acres. What do you want to use it for?"
Qiao Xin smiled and said, "Of course it is very useful. Clothing accounts for the largest part of our daily necessities. But look at the clothes that ordinary people wear here. How many of them are not torn? Hemp is coarse and not warm enough. Silk is expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.
This white cloth can be made into cloth clothes. When I have finished the product, I will give one to you and you will understand how useful it is after you have experienced it!"
"You have taken all the factors into consideration. I will now see what kind of magical object it is that has caught your attention so much."
"But I won't let your majesty down."
