Chapter 458: A girls' school is about to be established
"Qingwangfu's, Chaifu's, Hanfu's ......" Zhao Yan looked at the posts in front of him one after another, and his face was also extremely surprised, because the posts in front of him were not ordinary worship stickers, but posts with girls' birthdays and names written one by one, these posts were invented by Ouyang Wanling, and they were specially used by parents of children who wanted to go to elementary school.
"How did you manage that there were so many girls from aristocratic families signing up all at once?" Zhao Yan probably finished reading these posts in his hand, and then looked at Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru with an incredible face, there are hundreds of posts in his hand alone, which also means that there are hundreds of little girls who want to come and learn from them, you must know that the dozens of girls outside are all invited by Ouyang Wanling and them one by one, but now there is no need to invite at all, there are hundreds of girls who took the initiative to send them, and it has only been less than a year before and after, this difference is too big?
"Giggle~" Seeing Zhao Yan's surprised appearance, Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru both laughed proudly, and then they explained the reason for the matter, which surprised Zhao Yan again, and at the same time felt a little incredible for the two women's thoughts.
It turned out that since the primary school moved to the city, the girls' school that should have been established could not be established because of the lack of students, seeing this situation, Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru were also very anxious, and they had been trying to solve this problem, and finally Yan Yuru suddenly thought of a feasible solution, which is very simple to say, that is, to encourage their students to express themselves.
Asking students to express themselves may be a bit general, but it's not complicated to talk about specifically, it's nothing more than asking the girls they teach to show what they learn in school as much as possible when they get home, such as the mothers of some students. Then this girl can help her mother settle accounts, and if she has younger siblings at home, she can also pass on what she has learned to them, anyway, she should try to show herself as much as possible, so that her family knows what she has learned in school.
Maybe in the eyes of others, the method that Yan Yuru thought of was nothing at all. But everything is from small to large, and when those female students outside first started to use their knowledge to help their families, they may not have had much impact, but as time goes by, the talents they show are slowly recognized by their families, and even a few girls have become the housekeepers in the family, and their elders can't do without them at all.
In addition, a very interesting thing happened during this period, that is, among the female students, there happened to be a female student's father who served in the degree branch of the three divisions. The third division is the financial institution of the Great Song Dynasty, which is in charge of the financial power of the Great Song Dynasty, and the middle branch is in charge of the world's taxation, and it is natural that mathematics is indispensable for tax collection.
Once, the father of this female student encountered a problem when calculating taxes, and he didn't have a clue for a few days, but after the female student found out, he secretly took the problem encountered by his father to the school and solved it with the help of Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru. Then the female student took it home to show her father, and the result surprised the other party. At first, he was a little disagreeable with his daughter going to school, but he didn't expect that his daughter had already surpassed himself in some aspects after studying for such a short time, which made him surprised and proud at the same time, and immediately showed off to others everywhere.
It was Ouyang Wanling who encouraged the students to take this kind of initiative. As a result, they and their students have a great reputation in the city of Tokyo, firstly, it is very surprising that they teach women in such a public way, and secondly, the students they teach are so good, which is naturally even more noticeable.
With a certain amount of fame, then it is normal to pull things down. It was already early summer, and it was time for the summer vacation in just over a month, and when the summer vacation was about to end, a new round of enrollment would be conducted, so at this time, those nobles who had long heard of their reputation naturally wanted to send their daughters.
"I see, I didn't expect you to really have a way!" After listening to this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but say with some admiration, he didn't expect that it would be possible to solve the problem of difficult enrollment in girls' schools so easily, but such a method seems simple, but it requires extremely delicate thoughts, I'm afraid Zhao Yan can't think of it even if he wants to break his head.
"Husband, now we have received hundreds of students' applications for admission, and by the time the summer vacation comes, I am afraid that more girls will be willing to come to school, so that we will recruit not fewer students, so is the girls' school going to be officially opened?" Yan Yuru said with a smile at this time.
"No problem, I've asked my father to come over to the West Garden next to Tokyo Elementary School, as long as you want, I will immediately have people transform the West Garden into an elementary school, which will be called Tokyo Girls' School!" Zhao Yan laughed very haughtily, although the girls' school was an idea he came up with in order to find something to do for Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru, as long as they were willing to do it, then he was willing to support it to the end.
"No, the West Garden is too far away, I don't want to run so far in a carriage every day, and the girls' school is full of girls, and if it is next to Tokyo Elementary School, it is also a little inconvenient, so I think it is better to build a girls' school near us, the scenery here is beautiful, and it is close to home, which is very convenient for me and Sister Yuru!" At this time, Ouyang Wanling rejected Zhao Yan's suggestion, and Yan Yuru next to her also nodded, it seemed that they had already discussed it before.
"Build a girls' school nearby?" Zhao Yan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, if it was placed in the past, it would not be difficult to build a girls' school, but during this time, it was to build a workshop and buy a house, and the cost of the house was very large, plus the canned food workshop had not yet begun to make a profit, so Zhao Yan didn't know if the family had the money to build a girls' school.
Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru are both smart women in ice and snow, and when they saw Zhao Yan's expression, they immediately guessed his thoughts, but at the moment the two looked at each other and smiled, and then Yan Yuru spoke: "Husband doesn't have to worry about the cost of building a girls' school, today we just learned from Sister Ying'er that the money for the imperial court to order canned food has been allocated, so there is no shortage of money in the mansion at all." ”
Zhao Yan understood when he heard this, it seemed that Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru had already planned, those posts applying for registration were definitely not sent in a day, but they never told themselves, until the mansion had the financial resources to build a girls' school, so they couldn't wait to come to him, which also made him unable to refuse at all.
"Okay, I'll discuss this matter with Ying'er, presumably it's not a big problem, you also have to be prepared, with so many students added at once, you must find a few more teachers!" Zhao Yan nodded at the moment, and then told them again.
"Don't worry, the king of the county, we have already thought about the teacher's problem, Ya'er's sisters are not young, and there are also the girls who went to the primary school to listen to the class in Shangshuizhuang before, they have been learning and teaching with us during this time, and now they are enough to serve as a primary school teacher." Ouyang Wanling also smiled at this time and said, they had indeed planned a long time ago, and they were waiting for Zhao Yan to nod.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan finally had nothing to say, and asked a few words with concern about their ideas for the girls' school, as well as the requirements for the girls' school, etc., and finally left here and went back to the inner house to find Cao Ying to ask for money.
Cao Ying stayed in the room unexpectedly, this is not to say that Cao Ying usually does not go out, but because Zhao Yan knew that after the canning workshop had profits, with Cao Ying's character, he would definitely stay in the room to settle accounts, in fact, before Zhao Yan walked into the room, he heard a sound of counting beads inside, and there was more than one, it seemed that Cao Ying and Mi Xue were there.
At that moment, Zhao Yan pushed open the door and went in, and sure enough, he saw Cao Ying and Mi Xue settling accounts, he walked in with a smile, and then told Ouyang Wanling about their plan to establish a girls' school, but Cao Ying also smiled: "No wonder Sister Yuru came to me today to inquire about the canning workshop, it turned out to be for this matter, why didn't they come and tell me directly?" ”
"Hehe, I've always been in charge of the school's business, so naturally you have to sue me first!" Zhao Yan also smiled at this time and said, don't look at Cao Ying, who is usually commensurate with Yan Yuru and others as sisters, but after all, she is the princess of the county and is in charge of the entire palace, so Yan Yuru and others are still a little afraid of her, such as building a girls' school, they are worried that they will be rejected by Cao Ying, so they dare not say it in person, but Zhao Yan does not have so many worries.
With Cao Ying's shrewdness, she naturally knew that this was Zhao Yan excusing Yan Yuru and them, but she didn't break it, and after thinking about it for a while, she said again: "Husband, although the family has received canned money, there are many places to spend money, and it is a little difficult to build a girls' school all at once. ”
"Good! I'm okay with that! When Zhao Yan heard this, he immediately agreed, this kind of phased construction method was very common in later generations, and the situation in the mansion was indeed as Cao Ying said, so he naturally did not refuse.
Half a month later, not far to the east of Zhao Yanxin's newly bought house, the first girls' school in the Great Song Dynasty was finally built, although it attracted some people's criticism, but Ouyang Wanling and Yan Yuru have laid a solid foundation for the girls' school, especially their good reputation, which has reduced a lot of resistance, and after the end of this summer, it is estimated that the girls' school can be officially established.
However, with the passage of time, although the Great Song Dynasty was very calm on the surface, it was already running at a high speed inside, and the battle to destroy the summer that had been prepared for several years was finally coming. (To be continued......)
