First of all, the first little thing is to establish a Chinese school palace outside Chang'an City, next to Wucheng Village. For the time being, there are only five thatched houses in this school palace, and the students that can accommodate it are only as many as hundreds.

However, there is a large open space around the Academy.

This clearing, with a valley behind it, and an artificial lake can be dug out in front of it, and the environment is very beautiful.

This location was personally chosen by Li Su.

In the past year or two, Li Su is preparing to expand this place into the largest school palace in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Uh, okay.

At present, Datang does not seem to have a similar school palace.

At the moment, it seems to be the biggest......

After the establishment of the Zhonghua Academy, it began to recruit students.

At the beginning, it was the children of hired workers in Wucheng Village who worked in glass factories and vegetable markets.

In this era, the vast majority, more than ninety percent of the people, are illiterate.

And because life is difficult, they don't have spare money for a student to study.

Of course, the Zhonghua Academy does not charge for restraints, and even manages a meal at noon.

But if you send your children to school, you will have one less laborer in the family.

Li Su is also not sure how many people will send their children to study in the end.

If there are a lot of people to send, it will be enrolled.

If there are not enough children to send, then expand the scope of enrollment.

In short, the students should be recruited and the name of the Chinese Academy will be launched.

After the news spread, something unexpected to Li Su.

There were a lot of students sent by nearby villagers.

In the entire Wucheng Village, almost nine out of nine of the boys in the family were sent over.

Almost all the hired workers in other villages, who worked in the glass factories and quarries, sent their boys to school.

The first enrollment filled the Zhonghua Academy with students.

This situation made Li Su surprised and delighted.

In advance, he really didn't expect that he would be able to recruit so many students for the first time.

In fact, the people's thirst for culture in this era is far greater than Li Su imagined.

Because no one wants to be humbled to dust for generations.

But in this era, it is too difficult to climb up and glorify your ancestors.

The way out is probably to join the army and study.

However, there is not much war now, and even if you are in the army, there is basically no chance.

Then after getting rid of the army, reading is the only way out.

Before, they didn't have this opportunity.

One is that the family has no money to study, and the other is that even if there is a little spare money, there is no academy, and there is no husband to impart knowledge.

There is no one to teach, there is no place to learn, and there is no money to learn, these three points basically block the way for them to study.

And now, the opening of the Zhonghua Academy is equivalent to giving them a ladder to the sky.

Now, the people of Wucheng Village, since the arrival of the King of Shu, the conditions of every household have been much better.

Every family can eat and dress warmly, and they can save a few small dollars.

The Zhonghua Academy does not restrain itself, and even manages a meal at noon.

In such a situation, how can they not send their children to school?

Of course, nine out of ten of those who are sent to study in the school palace are boys.

There are very few girls.

The idea of preference for sons over daughters has existed since ancient times.

This is still in the open atmosphere of Datang.

If it is placed in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, it is estimated that there will not be a girl who goes to school.

After the students were recruited, the Zhonghua Academy officially opened.

The master who taught them knowledge was Xiu'er.

Of course, as a gentleman, it is obviously inappropriate to use the name Xiu'er again.

Li Su directly named Xiu'er Hu Xiu, and was respectfully called Mr. Hu by the students.

The age of the students in the school is really uneven.

There are seven or eight years old, and there are twelve or thirteen years old or even fourteen or fifteen years old.

These parents may not all hope that their children can be admitted to the imperial examination and become an official and knight.

They are hugging, so that the child can recognize a few words, which is also a great thing.

This situation leads to Xiu'er's age, which is not much older than the student.

Even older students are about the same age as Xiu'er.

The students did not reject the fact that their master was a female gentleman who was not a few years older than them.

I was even very excited.

But when the news reached the ears of parents.

These parents began to feel uneasy and even dissatisfied.

They send their children to study to learn knowledge and prepare to use knowledge to change their fate.

But now, let a girl teach, what's the matter?

Isn't this fooling?

Many parents are even ready to let their children withdraw from school.

They feel that with a girl who is not a few years older than their child, they can't learn anything at all.

Next, they began to ask their children.

"Today in the school, what did that Mr. Girl teach you?"

"Dad, Mr. taught us a sentence: at the beginning of man, nature is good."

"That's how these words are written."

The meaning of this sentence is that when people are first born, they are good by nature.

The explanation of their own baby made the parents stunned.

Boom!

It's only the first day, my baby, I have learned six words?

Not only can you read and write, but you even know what it means.

It seems that this female baby is not so bad!

It doesn't matter if she is a girl or not, if she can teach her own baby to read, she is a good baby!

These parents still couldn't help but ask more: "Your Mr. Girl, whose baby is it?" ”

"Dad, Mr. Female, but it's from the Shu Palace! I heard that the King of Shu also taught her personally! ”

Oh!

It turned out to be from the Shu Palace, so it's fine!

Now, the King of Shu is meeting, and he has been very mythologized.

Of course, there are still some losers.

How can a royal nobleman not be defeated?

Since this gentleman and girl are from the Shu Palace, it will be fine.

In the following days, the Zhonghua Academy gradually got on the right track.

In the first year, there are only two courses in the palace.

One is scripture, and the other is mathematics.

Of course, the mathematics taught by Xiu'er starts directly with Arabic numerals.

The first batch of students in the school were all children from poor families.

Since childhood, I grew up soaking in bitter water.

No matter if you are smart or stupid, but at least you have a good attitude towards learning, and you study very hard.

They are like a clean sponge, in the ocean of knowledge, frantically absorbing knowledge.

At this time, the few people Zhao Wu found had all learned the process of firing glass.

Success will be blessed and a few cronies of the Shu Wangfu will be replaced.

And then, Li Su has a new errand to be handed over to them to do.
