Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Xian Niang thought she heard wrongly and didn't react for a long time. read

After reacting, he hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head: "I can't do it. I have never been a gentleman. And there are no female gentlemen."

"Who said there are no female teachers? Aren't there all female teachers in female schools?"

"That's different. People are all really talented and educated. I, I just studied at my parents' house for a few years. Don't let others mislead you."

"You haven't taught me yet, so how do you know you've misled your disciples?"

Su Qingyu was originally just a suggestion, but now in the process of persuading Xian Niang, she has become more determined to start a private school.

She didn't know how long this dynasty would be in chaos, and how long it would take for unification. She only knew that from the fall of the Tang Dynasty to the unification of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were fifty-three years of chaos.

If we quantify it based on natural age, one generation in modern times is generally 25 to 30 years, but life span in ancient times was not that long, and one generation was between ten and twenty years. So after calculation, these fifty-three years are a gap. Two generations.

If thirty years is taken as one life, that is almost two lives.

Because the world is in chaos and the imperial examinations are in retreat, shouldn’t everyone stop studying?

Children of this generation can only play wildly in the mountains, and when they grow up, they can dig dirt in the fields and go up the mountains to pick up wild goods? Being blind?

"Why did you teach Sirisjia to read?" Su Qingyu looked at her and asked.

"I, I don't want my child to not even know the big Chinese characters." The child's father is a general, and she doesn't want her child to be a soldier in the future.

"I'm glad you think so. I think the same about my two sons. Then do the families of the hundreds of soldiers and soldiers on this mountain think the same as you and me? They also want their children to be literate and do it in the future. A promising person, so that their life will have many paths in the future?”

Xian Niang frowned and started thinking.

After a long while, he looked at Su Qingyu and said, "I, I'm afraid I won't be able to shoulder this heavy burden."

"Of course you can't do this alone. If you want to handle this matter, it's not just our Xingenzhai that has school-age children. There are many children in these forty-five joint villages. There are a swarm of swarms coming here, and you can't do this alone. ”

"I have an old boy who has opened a private school before. He is familiar with the matter of opening a private school. Then I will look for anyone who has studied and has some knowledge and recruit them to join you."

Xian Niang thought about it for a long time and then said: "Okay, I can't do it alone. This way everyone can still discuss with each other."

Su Qingyu nodded: "Yeah. Look at who among these family members is as capable as you. If you find two or three more women to join you, you won't be too isolated. As for the male gentleman, I’ll find a few more people.”

"Okay. But..." Looking at the two children beside her, if she was busy with private school affairs, who would take care of the family affairs and the two children?

Su Qingyao followed her gaze and understood: "Why don't you hire someone in the village to help take care of the children and do housework? How about I help you buy some servants from outside?"

"I'll discuss it with my mother first to see if we should hire someone or buy someone."

"good."

If possible, Su Qingyu didn't want to embarrass her. But there are so few people who can read in the mountains now, and she is afraid that she won't be able to find a few who can be teachers.

The two discussed some more details, but Su Qingyu still only had a framework. This idea came to her when she went to the village and saw a bunch of children doing nothing.

The specific details need to be further refined, and the building is not yet available.

Not in a hurry either.

After the two agreed, Su Qingyu left and walked around the village, asking about everyone's daily living conditions. When she saw that the situation was fine, she felt relieved.

Went to the gate of the village to take a look at the defense work.

Now that there are more people in the village, including more women and children, the defense work cannot be ignored. Seeing that the defense work was done well and the people on duty were serious and responsible, I felt relieved.

When I got home, I dived into the house and started planning the private school.

After it was done, they sent someone to find Gu Hongde.

"Ah? My boss is going to open a private school?" Gu Hongde's face was full of disbelief.

He finally forgot the fact that he was a private school teacher and a child. He worked in the workshop with everyone, went to the mountains to pick tea leaves and mountain products in his spare time, and lived a very happy life with his grandson.

Why did the boss think of him again and want him to open a private school, and he should be fully responsible for it!

"Boss, the private school I opened before was not big, with only twenty or thirty students. This, this..." There are more than just these in the main village of Xingenzhai, there are also children from the next mountain top, and those from the joint village. child.

Although he felt hot in his heart, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the burden with so many children.

"Don't worry. In the past, when you opened a private school, you had to take care of everything from students to school buildings to teaching materials and teaching aids, but now you don't need to take charge. You are mainly responsible for teaching the children, managing the children and managing a few teachers. The rest There are people who are responsible for everything.”

"That's okay. That old man is still experienced. How many gentlemen should we look for? Does the boss have any candidates?"

"About three female gentlemen, three male gentlemen, plus you as the curator, there will be at least seven teachers."

"The boss wants to recruit female students?"

Su Qingyu glanced at him sideways: "Women are not qualified to be literate?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that. I only asked after hearing that my boss wanted to recruit a female gentleman."

After saying that, I saw that my boss didn't say anything more and wiped his sweat. so close.

In this mountain, there is no saying that women cannot go out. There are many female village leaders. The joint village presidents of dozens of villages are all women. Why can't girls study?

I almost said the wrong thing.

"Does that mean there will be a male class and a female class?"

Su Qingyu pondered for a while and shook her head: "There is no need to divide the classes into classes. They are only divided into elementary school classes and beginner classes. But I'm afraid there won't be many who have some basic knowledge."

The two agreed and started to take care of it.

The market town is boiling with excitement again. What did the people who lined up to sell goods see today?

Another notice was hung outside the store where the goods were received. The guy who updated the account stood on a high stool and read the notice repeatedly.

First, we need to recruit labor to build the school. Men who are over 16 years old and under 50 years old will be paid fifteen cents a day. Includes three meals a day.

The second is that the school is about to open, and both men and women can sign up for it, from six to fifteen years old. It is a three-year schooling system with no required courses. Each academic year only charges miscellaneous fees, such as pen, ink, paper and inkstones, uniform uniforms, and lunch expenses. If you have a long journey, accommodation can be provided, but you need to pay the accommodation fee. Anyone who meets the conditions can register.

In addition, if you have a good reputation or have been a teacher, you are welcome to recommend yourself and you will be rewarded generously.

Like a basin of oil poured into a hot fire, the market town immediately became a sensation.

From morning to night, the market town was crowded with mountain people who came to inquire about the news, and the market town was completely surrounded.
