Chapter 785: Women's Technical College

After she took over the Beijing Women's Academy, not only the Beijing Women's Academy itself, but also the women's academies at all levels below were rectified.

Coupled with the affairs of the textile factory, the printing factory, and the "Qiming Xunbao", she is usually very busy.

The Women's Technical College was opened by her and Zhao Ruxi with the money from the profits of the textile factory, the printing factory, and the "Qiming Xunbao", and she needed to reconcile accounts with Zhao Ruxi, and at the same time let Zhao Ruxi take a look at the teaching results of these women's technical colleges.

She is now particularly proud of the teaching achievements of the Women's Technical College.

"Okay." Zhao Ruxi smiled, "It's late today." I'm free from tomorrow, you can arrange it, and your time will prevail. ”

"Then tomorrow. Tomorrow, will it be convenient for you to see it? Princess Shangde said.

"Yes."

"Then I'll call you tomorrow."

The eldest princess spoke for a while, then went to look at the baby again, and then took her leave.

On the second day, Zhao Ruxi went to the Women's Technical College with Princess Shangde.

In the original plan of Zhao Ruxi and Princess Shangde, the women's technical college planned to open step by step like the women's academy.

That is, one was first set up in the capital, and after gaining experience and improving deficiencies, it was popularized to the provincial capitals. When there is money, it will be spread to the state capital, and finally one will be set up in every county.

As for funding, women's technical colleges are different from women's colleges, which charge a certain amount of tuition, and let the powerful wives donate to maintain the insufficient funds.

And the women's technical college is finally welfare, facing the lower class of working women. Free will make everyone not cherish the opportunity to learn, resulting in a waste of manpower and material resources, so tuition will also be charged, but the tuition fee is very low, and finally in the form of scholarships, the collected tuition will be sent to the female students with excellent character and learning.

Therefore, at the beginning of the preparation, Zhao Ruxi proposed that the construction of the college would be financed by the income of several factories, but the usual expenses would rely on the college's own hematopoietic capacity.

At that time, she gave an open-source suggestion: when building an academy, build shops on the street frontage, and workshops on the non-street frontage.

The college runs a garment workshop, an embroidery workshop, a printing workshop, and a pastry shop, and the finished products of the workshops are sold in the shops facing the street. After completing their studies, students are admitted to work in these workshops, and the profits from the workshops are used to maintain the expenses of the college.

As for the printing shop, in addition to printing books that are in demand on the market, the most important thing is to print the "Qiming Xun Bao" and the "Serialization of Words" run by Zhao Jiaxing.

Both newspapers were originally published only in the capital. Now it can be put in various places, which can expand its influence and sell advertising space, so the newspaper office does not charge for copyright content in various places. Printing workshops from all over the country directly printed the sample newspapers sent from the capital, and the profits from the sale could be used for blood transfusion at the local women's technical college.

"You're here." Seeing the carriage stop, Mrs. Cui greeted her with a smile, and saluted when she saw Zhao Ruxi, "Cui Wen has seen the crown princess." ”

"Master Cui, hurry up and be polite." Zhao Ruxi took her hand in the past, "You've worked hard for the past two years." ”

The eldest prince was in charge of the affairs of the women's college, and he handed over the construction and establishment of the women's technical college to Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui has been running around for the past two years, and it has been very hard.

However, Zhao Ruxi looked at her with a radiant look, but she was younger and more energetic than when she first met Mrs. Cui at the Bac Ninh Girls' Academy.

I think I have found a greater direction of effort.

"Look, although we spent a little more money when we bought the land, it was worth it to get such a large row of shops. Except for the three shops that we use to sell our own products, the others can also be rented out, although the rent is not as much as the profit of opening a workshop, it is better to be stable. Mrs. Cui said, pointing to a row of eight or nine shops.

The women's technical college in the capital is facing lower-class working women, so the location is placed on the edge of the northern city. The land price is not expensive, but the flow of people on this side of the street is not small. The things sold in the shops are not expensive, whether it is a ready-to-wear shop or an embroidery workshop, they are facing the middle and lower class people.

"I think business is pretty good." Zhao Ruxi saw that the shop was full of people, and every woman walked out of the shop, carrying something more or less in her hands.

"That's good." Mrs. Cui's smile became even brighter, "Thanks to your original suggestion, the price of our ready-to-wear clothes is cheaper than other ready-to-wear shops, and the quality is good, so it is very popular." ”

The ready-to-wear garments of the garment shop are made according to the large, medium and small sizes provided by Zhao Ruxi, and the assembly line is produced in batches, plus the cloth is given by the textile factory at the ex-factory price, so the profit margin is still very considerable.

The shop of the college is not only a garment shop, but also a pastry shop.

No matter how good the cook's skills are, she has no status in society. They can't go to the restaurant to be a master, so they can only go into a big family to be a cook. Even if you don't sell yourself, you need to sign a living deed, which belongs to the next person.

and entered the women's technical college as a master, then the status is different, which can be said to directly raise the identity by a large margin.

Therefore, at that time, the Women's Technical College let out the wind, saying that it would hire high-skilled chefs, and many talented cooks quietly came out to apply, and after being hired, they went to the owner to redeem themselves.

Because the Women's Technical College was jointly established by Princess Shangde and Princess Qi, the host family did not dare to detain people.

Fortunately, there are not many cooks in the academy, only five or six, but it didn't cause much impact.

Because the chef with the best cooking skills was selected as the master, the pastry shop business of the college was naturally good.

Only the business of the embroidery workshop is average. After all, the embroidery of students cannot be compared with other professional embroiderers, only in the low price.

As for the printing shop, it was canceled here in the capital.

And because there are many people in the capital, the consumption power is also stronger than that of the localities, and the rent of the three workshops and shops, as well as these shops, is enough to maintain the expenses of the Beijing Women's Technical College.

After looking at the shops, Zhao Ruxi followed Mrs. Cui into the college, and she was very satisfied when she saw the well-laid out teaching area, dormitory area, canteen, and the smiles on the faces of those female students.

"Is there any trouble recruiting students?" She asked.

Unlike women's colleges, women's technical colleges recruit students from 13 to 30 years old, as long as they have sound limbs and a normal IQ, and can be admitted after passing exams and paying a low fee.

The duration of study can also be long and short. There are one month, three months, six months, and three years.

"Absolutely." Mrs. Cui did not hide it, "It's okay if you're unmarried; Those who became married, and the mother-in-law and husband in many families did not agree with her coming out to study, and some of them went directly to the college. ”

"We directly hired a few mouthy ladies to visit the students' homes when they signed up. If there is a conflict in the family, do ideological work for her family. In this way, the vast majority of students' problems can be solved. ”
