Chapter 544: Recruiting Female Students
Li Zhi didn't need to look up at all, just by listening to the voice, he knew that Gu Jie, the only physical education teacher in the school, was here. This Gu Jie Gu teacher is a man about forty years old, although he is not tall, but he is very strong, if you look closely, you can find that the palm of his right hand is bare, only one thumb is left, and the other four fingers are all missing.
Gu Jie used to be a soldier in Dengzhou, when the Tang Dynasty attacked Goguryeo, Yuangai Suwen sent his younger brother Yuanjing Land to attack Dengzhou, Li Su led troops to block the other party's landing, Gu Jie rushed to the front line at that time, and later was promoted to Shichang because of his merits.
However, Gu Jie felt that there was no interest in staying in the army, and he was a recruit rather than a government soldier, so after staying in the army for many years, he joined a slave hunting team, and in the past few years, he wandered around in the Wa Kingdom, Luzon and other places, and the slaves he caught by him were not one thousand but eight hundred. However, two years ago, during the last slave hunt in Java, he was attacked by the natives and cut off half of his palm, and as a result, he could no longer hold a knife and gun, but he had already made a lot of money in the past few years, and he had a large sugar cane plantation in the sugarcane town next to Keelung, so he simply washed his hands and did not dry it.
It's just that Gu Jie is obviously an idle person, his wife is a shrewd and capable Dengzhou woman, the plantation is well organized by her, plus he has a handicap, so he really can't help, but he is used to being busy, and he really can't sit still when he is idle, and later I heard that the education institute is recruiting physical education teachers, and he is also from the army, and he also fought with Li Su back then, and he also has military merits, so he was successfully hired as a physical education teacher, and was also assigned to the nearby sugarcane primary school.
This Teacher Gu is an outlier in the school. Other teachers, whether they teach Chinese or arithmetic, are at least literate people. Receiving people and things is also very polite. But Gu Jie used to be from the army, and he was a little rude in his words and deeds. is not very popular among the teachers in the school, but Li Zhi has been in the military school before, and he has long been accustomed to a military man like Gu Jie, so the two chatted very much.
"What's the matter, it can't be that you told those bloody stories to the students again and were discovered by the principal, right?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.
Gu Jie likes to tell some stories to the students after completing his normal teaching, especially his bravery on the battlefield and the capture of slaves in various places in the past few years, which is nothing. Even if he bragged about putting other people's deeds on himself, no one cared about him, but he liked to tell the students that bloody real scene the most, and as a result, after the principal knew, he reprimanded him, thinking that children should not be exposed to such bloody things, but unfortunately Gu Jie has repeatedly taught him.
"No, what's the big deal with me telling stories to students?" Gu Jie said a little angrily, but he then sat down and said to Li Su, "Xiao Jiu, don't interrupt." This time it's really going to be a big deal! ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Zhi said a little strangely, but he didn't really care too much, after all, in his opinion. What can happen in a small school?
However, Li Zhi really guessed wrong this time, because it was really like what Gu Jie said, something really happened. And it should not be said that something is wrong with their schools, but that the education system in Taiwan and other places is going to have a big problem.
It turned out to be just a few days ago. Taiwan suddenly issued a decree from the Qi Palace, that is, to improve the social status of women. Girls were allowed to go to school, and the government recruited officials without discrimination between men and women.
In fact, this decree to improve the status of women Li Su has long wanted to promulgate, but considering the power of some social traditions, he did not dare to act rashly, but used some secret forces to slowly improve the social status of women, such as encouraging women to go out to work, the deans of the medical school and the academy of sciences are Mengxue and Yifan respectively, and they have also begun to recruit female students in their own colleges, etc., with more and more women appearing in various industries, and now a large social force has been formed. It was only then that Li Su finally promulgated this decree.
For this newly promulgated decree, it has caused great repercussions in various parts of Taiwan, and there are many opponents, these people are divided into two factions, and they are noisy in the major newspapers, for which Li Su is also under considerable pressure, but no matter how much pressure he has, he will carry out this decree, after all, the number of Han people in his hands is too small, if he can liberate women from the family, then Li Su is equivalent to twice the population power out of thin air.
However, the above things have nothing to do with Li Zhi, the only thing that makes him concerned is that the primary school is also going to start recruiting female students, and according to Gu Jie, the Education Institute has given a death order to each school, specifying that among the newly recruited students in each primary school, the proportion of girls must not be less than one-third of the total number, and now the semester in the first half of the year is almost over, and the second half of the year will start recruiting new students, as a result, the principal of their sugarcane primary school was forced to have no choice, and finally came up with a bad move, that is, Gu Jie said that something big was going to happen.
According to the enrollment in the first two years, sugarcane primary schools can recruit twenty to thirty students every year, that is to say, sugarcane primary schools will recruit at least a dozen female students this year, but not everyone has such a high consciousness, most parents feel that it is natural to let boys go to school, but let girls go to school, and they are still with a bunch of stinky boys, it really makes them feel uneasy, and girls are going to marry sooner or later, what's the use of going to school?
It is precisely because of this that the principal of Sugarcane Primary School has expected to recruit not enough female students, so he has come up with a solution, that is, to allocate the enrollment quota to the teachers in the school, and each teacher must recruit a female student to go to school, otherwise they will wait for the principal to give them small shoes to wear.
Originally, this matter had not been announced, and the principal of Sugarcane Primary School was going to talk about it at the afternoon meeting, but Gu Jie was very well-informed, and he actually knew it in advance, and he was a big mouth, so the teachers of the whole school had already heard about it, but Li Zhi had been staying in the office reading the newspaper this morning, so he hadn't heard about it.
"That'...... What was the reaction of the teachers in the school? Li Zhi asked a little stupidly after hearing this. He hasn't been in Sugarcane Town for a long time, and unlike Gu Jie, who is a local, if he really asks him to recruit a female student, then he really doesn't know where to start, so he wants to ask other people's reactions.
Gu Jie took a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth and said, "Hey! Originally, like Teacher Yu and Teacher Zhou, a few of them who were older and more virtuous wanted to talk to the principal, they were all old pedants, and they were not very willing to let girls go to school, let alone let them recruit a female student, but our principal was also very single, and took the lead in sending his daughter to school, and she started from the first grade. ”
The principal of Sugarcane Primary School is surnamed Hu, about the same age as Gu Jie, who used to be a small official in the south of the Tang Dynasty for a period of time, and then felt that there was no future, so he came to Taiwan to break through, and the result was even more unsmooth, and finally he had no choice but to devote himself to the cause of education, but he did not expect to be important and was sent to Sugarcane Town as the principal. Principal Hu's personality is not bad, the only drawback is that he likes to be an official, he used to have no chance in Datang, but now after becoming a principal, he finds that there is still a lot of room for improvement, so he works very hard, and sometimes uses some means, such as this enrollment.
"Principal Hu's daughter?" Li Zhi was surprised when he heard this, "If I remember correctly, Principal Hu has three sons and one daughter, and they all seem to be fourteen or fifteen years old, how can they come to elementary school?" ”
"Why can't it, anyway, it's the first time we're recruiting female students, and there are no age regulations, and Principal Hu has sent his eldest daughter over, which is also an example for us people, anyway, I'm ready to send our family's three girls to school." Gu Jie said in the end, with a heartache expression on his face, as if he was not sending his daughter to school, but to send her to the fire pit.
"Three girls?" Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, if he remembered correctly, Gu Jie has a wife and six concubines, except for the wife who is Han, the other six concubines are all women of different races, Sanhan, Waguo and even Luzon, six of them are not the same, plus he has nothing to do in the past few years, he makes people at home every day to play, and now he has four sons and six daughters, if ......
Thinking of the end, Li Zhi suddenly had an idea, and immediately approached Gu Jie and said softly: "Brother Gu, can you help the little brother with a ......"
"No way!" Before Li Zhi's words were finished, he was interrupted by Gu Jie, but Gu Jie then explained, "Xiao Jiu, it's not that my brother doesn't help you, it's just that you don't know the information in my family, my eldest daughter and second daughter were born to my wife, the eldest daughter already has children, and the second daughter also got married last year, only the third daughter was born to my Silla concubine, and now she is only six years old, just to the age of going to school, but the remaining four girls, five girls and six girls are all born with other concubines in the past two years, and the eldest one is only two years old." , so my brother can't help you even if he wants to! ”
Hearing Gu Jie's explanation, Li Zhi was disappointed, he originally wanted to borrow a daughter from Gu Jie, but he didn't expect it to be so unfortunate, the remaining three were not suitable. But then Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he asked Gu Jie again: "Brother Gu, you are well-informed, do you know which family has more daughters among the teachers in our school?" ”
Li Zhi came to Sugarcane Town for too short a time, and the person he usually has the most contact with is naturally the teacher of the school, so he wanted to ask which teacher has more daughters, and when he was cheeky, he borrowed a try. (To be continued......)
