Just when everyone thought that there was no one available in the court, His Majesty had to ask the disciples of the major hermit families to come out.
Emperor Wu rejected all objections and promoted a large number of middle and lower-level officials to deputy positions. At the same time, he recruited graduates from Qingyang Academy and poor students who were selected through the imperial examinations in various places.
It was only then that everyone realized that this selection of officials was mainly aimed at students from poor families, or children of clans whose families did not have officials above the fourth rank.
The students of Qingyang College just meet this requirement.
This is due to Qiao Xin's insistence on making law, mathematics, agriculture, medicine, and the study of things, which were not included in the imperial examinations, compulsory courses for students to enroll and the criteria for whether they can graduate.
All students who graduate from Qingyang College must take a practical science course. This was the only requirement Qiao Xin set when the school was first established.
This overbearing approach was not without opposition, but the one who paid the money was the boss! In addition, Emperor Wu tacitly approved it intentionally or unintentionally. This requirement became the purpose of the school.
Without Qiao Xin's careful planning, this academy that recruits students from poor families and ordinary people would not be where it is today!
Looking back now, I have to admire Qiao Xin's foresight and pragmatism!
Once students who studied law were sent to the Sansi and the Ministry of Personnel, they became familiar with the work process in just one day, and could quickly take over the work left by the previous person in two days.
I wonder which government office doesn't need people to count the population and collect taxes...?
How can such work be separated from mathematics? Building bridges and paving roads does not require the study of things,...
Those students who are good at mathematics are doing well in the Ministry of Revenue. What they lack most are these walking humanoid computers.
Although they may be treated like slaves, their current situation is a far cry from the predicament they faced before entering school.
No one expected that Qingyang College would become the biggest beneficiary in this incident.
This is really like planting flowers intentionally but they don't bloom, but planting willows unintentionally willows grow into shade!
"Dean, the old lady has sent a letter!" He Jinzhuo walked quickly into Liang Shengming's yard holding the letter.
"Bring it here!" Liang Shengming stopped brewing tea, left his old friends sitting with him, and went to check the letter.
When the school was first established, he was worried that Qiao Xin's family would interfere too much with the teaching of the academy, but he didn't expect that they would only send money to the academy regularly by sending money to the housekeeper, and then they would never show up again.
The entire academy was only five or six miles away from the Qiao family's ancestral home. Apart from the Qiao family's grandchildren who were studying there, there was really no one who could speak for themselves in the academy.
Except for things that she had to participate in, Qiao Xin kept her distance from them, neither warm nor distant, and she would not ask any gentleman to give special care to Qiao Xiaolang and others!
Not to mention interfering with their teaching. Sometimes they wanted to discuss things with the person in charge of the Qiao family, but they had to pass on the message through the younger generation and the chief steward of the Qiao family.
Qiao Xin fully fulfilled her promise and became a dean with only honorary title.
But why would I suddenly write to him at this time?
Not only Liang Shengming was curious, but all the gentlemen present were also extremely curious about what the old lady of the Qiao family would say.
Liang Shengming repeatedly flipped through the letter in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, but he said nothing.
Seeing this, He Jinzhuo approached and asked, "Dean, is there anything the old lady needs?"
Liang Shengming said: "Well, she said three things. First, she wanted to recruit a group of poor holiday workers in the college. Second, she wanted to officially set up a girls' school. Third, she planned to resign as the president of Qingyang Academy and focus on serving as the president of the Women's College. At the same time, she asked Your Majesty to serve as the honorary president."
The people present were shocked.
The vice president was the first to react: "The old lady is very wise. The Qiao family is so lucky to have such a person in charge."
Liang Shengming thought about it and said, "That's right! How many heroes can't do this, and I actually saw this in a woman in my life!"
Seeing that no one had thought about that, the vice president could not help but explain: "Our Qingyang Academy has become famous after this incident. No family would give up such a good resource. Every student who graduated from here has a certain gratitude to the Qiao family. If we can use it, what can't we do?
But Mrs. Qiao, the old lady, has retired at this time. His Majesty has agreed to serve as the honorary dean, so the honor belongs to His Majesty......"
The vice president sighed and swallowed his unfinished words. But no one present was stupid.
I admire the Qiao family's actions even more. If this happened to him, they might not be so clear-headed!
He Jinzhuo took the letter and asked about the most important thing!
"If the Qiao family no longer takes care of the academy and no longer supports us, can the academy survive while it is still under construction?"
His current position is equivalent to the financial manager of the college. Without the financial support of the Qiao family, where would he get such a large sum of money? The gentlemen present would probably have no food to eat.
Everyone present:........
How could you forget such an important thing? Without the Qiao family's support, Qingyang Shunran wouldn't be where he is today.
Everyone is gearing up to make further efforts, and the Qiao family withdraws at this time. Isn't this simply asking for your death?
"It's not mentioned in the letter, but since the old lady wants to expand the women's college, she can't just ignore it!"
"The dean really understands my grandmother!" Qiao Dalang stood outside the door with a smile on his face.
The servant next to him looked even more helpless. He had not expected that Qiao Dalang's hearing was so good that he could still hear the voices in the house even though he was more than ten feet away.
"Junior brother, why are you here?" He Jinzhuo waved away the servant and led the man inside.
"Hello, Senior. I have something important to report to the Dean, so I have to come and bother you."
Liang Shengming couldn't help but smile: "Come in, what do you want from me?"
"There were actually several letters from my grandmother to the dean, but they were all sent to the old house, so I just sent them here.
Qiao Dalang did not lie. The messenger still had to go north to deliver a letter to his uncle. Time was tight and the task was heavy. He left these ordinary letters at the old house and asked Cao Guanshi to handle them. Unfortunately, Cao Guanshi went to Songjiabao in Yunxi Town these days. The servants did not dare to handle these matters privately and could only wait for someone to deliver them to the academy.
Qiao Dalang looked at the thick stack of envelopes and couldn't help wondering if his grandmother was going to write down all her inner thoughts.
The facts proved that he was just being too sentimental!
Except for the thin piece of paper at the beginning, the rest are all about Qingyang Academy.
The Qiao family would naturally continue to support Qingyang Academy, but they would re-establish a special fund and after getting approval from the imperial court, they would regularly transfer a batch of funds into it every year to ensure that half of the students in the academy must be recruited from civilians and military families.
The second is about the planning of the Women's College and the Centennial Planning of Qingyang College!
"What is the Centennial Plan?"
