Beixian County School is scheduled to be registered seven days after the 28th day of the first month, and then the school officially starts on the eighth day of the first month of March. Because it's the first year, the start date is a little later. In fact, a few years ago, Geng Qiu went to the Zhou family's courtyard to discuss some county school matters with Yu Mingyi. For example, what students to accept and how much to receive. There are many things that have to be considered because of the number of people selected for the lesson, the management personnel of the academy, such as where the kitchen cleaning patrol and night guards come from, etc.

But right now, although the two of them made these plans years ago, and with the assistance of Zhou Zhifu, they were also busy for three days in a row, and it seemed that nothing had been decided, so worried that Yu Mingyi's hair was about to turn white.

"Baron, the most important thing for you at the moment is to settle the master. For other things, go to the county magistrate for assistance. Geng Qiuti said. Since this college is the county school of Beixian County, the county master will definitely assist, and listen to Cong Yu Mingyi's arrangements as much as possible, after all, how can this county school be opened without Yu Mingyi.

"Well, the master is the most important, and the two instructors sent down from above have almost arrived in Beixian. In addition to these two, I found two other people, and the lord helped find two of them, plus myself. There are seven people in total, and the hard points can basically be handled. In the future, we will slowly consider the need to increase or decrease the number of masters. ”

"Seven, still a little less." Geng Qiu said. In fact, it is definitely not enough to call him, because their enrollment plan is to admit 90 to 100 people. And the level of these students is definitely uneven, and the teachers who teach this class must have teachers similar to modern education, from elementary school to junior high school to high school. Seven people is indeed a small number, but only these people can be found in a short period of time, and these people may not all be able to do the new job.

"I also know that there are less, but where can I find someone for a while. It took a lot of effort to find these four people. But don't worry too much, as long as our county school is opened, there will be some results, and someone will come to the door. Yu Mingyi said with a smile. He didn't know that there were too few people, but there was no way to do it.

The seven masters, including Yu Mingyi, all taught cultural courses, and Geng Qiu asked again: "Baron, these students have lived in the academy for a long time, should they also appropriately open some courses to strengthen their health?" ”

"Of course you want to, you can't do the scientific examination without a good body, the township examination has to be tested for nine days and six nights, and it's winter, and the food and accommodation are in that narrow cubicle, which is a comprehensive game of intelligence and body. How can you survive without a good body? Yu Mingyi said.

"Oh, did anyone die in the exam room in poor health?" Geng Qiu asked curiously.

"There must be. Therefore, people who are too poor will not take the test. For nine days and six nights, as soon as people entered, they locked the door, and never opened the door until the time came. I have to bring clothes, quilts, water, food, drink, and Lazar in a small cubicle, and even if I die, I can't open the door and carry the body out when I leave. ”

"It's horrible." Geng Qiu said, so frightened that goosebumps got on his body. This ancient man also used his life to win the future.

"So, we're going to arrange some fitness classes. In fact, a good academy has to arrange riding and shooting courses. Yu Mingyi said again.

"Oh, how can we shoot arrows on horseback in this place." Geng Qiu smiled.

"So I'm going to let the county master take the students out for a riding and shooting class every ten years. The yamen has some good catchers, and they can train the students. Usually, two physical fitness courses are arranged every ten years, and this master candidate is also handed over to the county master. After Yu Mingyi finished speaking, the two of them smiled heartily, this county master wants to get benefits, so he has to do something about it.

"In fact, every morning, having students run two laps around the academy or do exercises and boxing can also play a role in strengthening their bodies. This is simple, practice every day, and the effect will definitely not be bad. Geng Qiu said again. He felt that once every ten years, it was still a little less. If you are in the middle of a busy yamen, you won't be able to attend classes.

"Well, that's a good idea, but there's no such person. Ah Hao is suitable, but he has gone to study in the house, where does he have time. Yu Mingyi sighed.

"Anyone who knows how to play five birds can always find it." Geng Qiu said that in fact, he knows a few sets of exercises done in modern schools, but it is really not suitable for ancient times.

"It's simple, Dr. Li will. It just so happens that I'm learning from him myself. Yu Mingyi laughed, in fact, if it wasn't for being too busy, he would have gone to Beijing again, he would have learned it a long time ago, and he would have been able to teach his children in the future.

All the courses were decided, and Geng Qiu and Yu Mingyi were relieved. Right now, it's just waiting for the students to enter the door.

According to the results agreed by everyone, the students enrolled in Beixian County School are divided into three categories. Following the modern name, the basic class, between the ages of seven or eight to twelve or thirteen, has been enlightened boys or fathers. Intermediate class, students between the ages of thirteen and fourteen to twenty who have passed the county examination. The advanced class is the students who are about to take the Xiucai exam, and the students at this level should not be more than 30 years old.

As for children who are too young and have not yet been enlightened, the county school will not accept them, and such children should be sent to Mengxue. And when he is old and a talented person, he doesn't accept it, and he rushes to the academy to study. All in all, he neither runs a school here, nor does he train high-level talents. Anyway, he and Governor Zhou seriously considered it, as long as he studied in this county, he would ensure that someone could pass the college examination in two years.

Of course, the more people, the better. After all, the students who want to take the examination will go to the Fuxue or more advanced provincial institutions to study, and the teachers there are very good, such as the Fuxue where the five of Ah Hao are now going to school, and the conditions are very good in all aspects. So his biggest focus now is on the third-level students. And the students in the second paragraph should also carry a few good seedlings.

On the twenty-second day of the first month, the announcement of the conditions and scale of the county school to recruit students arrived at all towns, townships and villages within the northern county. Sure enough, as soon as this notice came out, some unqualified people began to look for relationships in a mess.

On the first day of the official opening, the people who brought their children to school blocked the gate tightly. Yu Mingyi looked at the people who came to study outside, there were children who were less than five years old, and there were also men who were afraid that their sons were not only five years old, but also people who were older than him. He almost laughed.

Although the enrollment conditions were listed earlier, and the terms and conditions were written quite clearly, there are still many people who do not give up. After so many days, the county school finally quieted down. In the first session of the county school, a total of 95 students were admitted. There are 45 people in the basic class, which are divided into three small classes, and in the first grade of the basic class, there are Liu Chengning of Geng Qiu's family and Zhou Steward's grandson named Zhou Baoshan.

The intermediate class has 30 students and is divided into two small classes, and the advanced class has 20 students, which is also divided into two small classes. This division is actually similar to that of ordinary county schools, but the saying is slightly different, mainly because Geng Qiu, a modern person, speaks some modern words, which make everyone feel that it is also very appropriate.

All the masters have to be deployed by Yu Mingyi, and everyone has no opinion on this, even the two people sent down from above are also very cooperative, because Yu Mingyi is indeed talented, and from some of the things that happened when recruiting students in the past few days, everyone understands how high Yu Mingyi's level is.

All students need to interview for a written test to enter the county school, and these exams are all-encompassing and quite rich in content. Several people have seen it, and they are quite impressed, and when assessing students, Yu Mingyi will temporarily increase or decrease some examination schools according to the students' knowledge. So these six masters can admire Yu Mingyi. The two instructors were serious Jinshi backgrounds, and at first they thought that Yu Mingyi was just a bit of real material, and then they were boasted that there was nothing in the sky and there was nothing in the earth, but now they were also impressed by Yu Mingyi, and they all secretly said in their hearts: "This Baron Yu really lives up to his name, if he goes to take the exam, maybe he will get a champion back." "And the other four people were originally the people found by Governor Zhou and Yu Mingyi themselves, not to mention that Yu Mingyi himself is qualified, even if he doesn't understand anything, people will help him with all their might.

The students who passed the assessment soon arranged the dormitory under the leadership of the middle-aged mother who managed the dormitory, and all the small children were four people in a room. For university students, there are two students in one room. However, if you are familiar with each other, you can freely combine them to become roommates. The dormitory is in good condition, with beds, tables, chairs and small cabinets, and students bring their own bedding and toiletries. The college specially invited a few middle-aged mothers to manage and clean the dormitory, and wash the clothes for the students, but the laundry must cost money. These middle-aged mothers are also coarsely literate.

Except for a small number of students who can live outside, most of them have to eat and live in the college. Therefore, dormitory management is quite important, in addition to these middle-aged mothers, there are also several patrol officers who patrol day and night. These people were arranged by the county magistrate, and among them were the officials of the county government yamen. There is also a special management staff at the gate, and the gatehouse of quite a large family is also guarded day and night. The entry and exit of students is strictly controlled. The master and the staff of the county school enter and exit through a separate small door, and they are also managed.

The management model of the school and the dormitory was proposed by Geng Qiu, who also adopted the management model of a modern closed school. And Geng Qiu himself also got a position in the county school and became Yu Mingyi's assistant. Yu Mingyi is quite the principal of this college, and he is equivalent to the vice principal in charge of security and logistics, as for teaching, he has the heart and power, in addition to taking into account Yu Mingyi's position as a master. So Yu Mingyi also paid him three taels of silver every month as a salary.

As for the other staff in the county school, the miscellaneous kitchen management, etc., these people do not spend much silver, and the most expensive is the four masters, each of whom costs three to five taels of silver per month. And the students also have to pay tuition, so it can basically be the same. Of course, if the money collected is not enough to spend, ask the county magistrate for it.

This person who manages the accounts and collects cashiers, Yu Mingyi is still the person who specially asked the county master to arrange. He was too lazy to manage the money, so as not to be unclear, anyway, with him, the person in charge of the accounts would not dare to make fake accounts and be greedy for ink, because he also arranged for Geng Qiu to supervise.

After the official start of classes, everyone's life is getting busier and busier, and there is no rest time at all, but fortunately, the county school still arranges three days off every month. Students who are close to home can go home to rest and have fun, and by the way, they can also bring living expenses from home. Of course, the families of students who are far away from home will also send living expenses to students on the specified days, they are really poor students, Yu Mingyi also deliberately set up a Yu Foundation, which was also proposed by Geng Qiu.

Yu Mingyi gave his baron a hundred taels of silver every year to support those students with good grades but poor families. When such a student is admitted to Xiucai, the Yu Foundation will give a special reward of 36 taels of silver for the student's subsequent studies.

At this time, neither Geng Qiu nor Yu Mingyi thought that this Yu Foundation would become a nationally renowned private institution in the future, and then influence the whole country, and how many poor students would it cultivate? And how much honor can it bring them?
