"What do you think, how about me being the head of this academy?"

With a gentle smile, Yu Qiong looked at Su Hengyu in front of her, who seemed to be shocked by his words, but her tone was very serious.

At this moment, not only Su Hengyu was frightened, but even Xie Jing couldn't believe what he had just heard.

This is not someone else, this is a great Confucian Yuqiong!

Emperor Wei has recruited the other party many times over the years, and has made many conditions to ask the other party to enter the court as an official. But Yu Qiong did not waver at all, and never agreed to Emperor Wei's call.

But it is such a person who dares to disobey even the imperial power, and even disdains the high-ranking officials given by His Majesty, and actually takes the initiative to speak, wanting to become the head of a academy in the small Nanyi City!

Not to mention that there is not even a shadow of this academy at present, and the scholars who can be found in the entire Nanyi City can be counted on one hand.

If it weren't for all this happening in front of their eyes, Su Hengyu and Xie Jing really couldn't believe it.

But no matter how surprised she was, Su Hengyu still reacted, and after she was stunned for a moment, she still asked in disbelief: "Sir, this is serious, are you really willing to stay in Nanyi City and be the head of the academy?" ”

Yu Qiong nodded dryly: "Yes, I am willing to stay." ”

Su Hengyu: "You know the current situation in Nanyi City, I said that I want to build a academy, but now there is not even a shadow of this, the literary style here is not prosperous, and I don't know how many people will come to study when it is completed." The disciples you teach will certainly not be the ones you teach today, who are born to read. They must be shallow and ignorant, and there are many things that they don't understand, and they even need you to enlighten them. Do you think it doesn't matter? ”

"I live in Jiangnan all the year round, where the literary style is prosperous, most of them began to enlighten at a young age, and they began to come into contact with the Four Books and Five Classics before they were ten years old. In that environment, everyone can say a few lines of poetry, and there are countless talented people. ”

Yu Qiong took a sip of tea, and then continued: "But for me, it is far more pleasing for me to teach a group of more talented young people there than to teach a group of children who can read and write in Nanyicheng. ”

When he heard this, the expressions on the faces of the several disciples who had originally felt wronged for him because of the teacher's choice changed.

"The students in Jiangnan are not inferior to me, a gentleman, without me, they can still have someone to teach, and the future will definitely not be bad. But who would want to be a teacher here without me? I read to be wise, and I teach students to put more people on the right path. And now, I stay in Nanyicheng, and I can change the future of I don't know how many children. ”

"Such a meritorious thing, I am willing to devote all my energy in the second half of my life, just hoping that Nanyi City can be reborn from the dust!"

……

In the end, Su Hengyu left the position of the head of the academy to the old man Yu Qiong. The group of disciples he brought this time, except for a few elderly people in the family who needed to be taken care of, or who were about to participate in the imperial examination, most of the rest followed the old gentleman's footsteps and stayed.

Su Hengyu originally didn't expect to be able to keep so many people, but after she learned what these people thought, she was still a little worried that they stayed because of Yu Qiong, and she was afraid that her future would be delayed.

And these people told Su Hengyu that most of them were orphans, or they no longer had any relatives in the world.

They had no intention of going to be officials, and they followed the old gentleman to take care of each other, and by the way, they traveled all over the world to increase their knowledge.

Now there is a great thing that needs to be done for thousands of years, and they are naturally duty-bound.

Su Hengyu was deeply moved by the spirit of Yu Qiong and others, and immediately began to plan the academy in Nanyicheng, and planned to get out the primary school textbooks and the like in advance.

Naturally, her academy is not a dead book, but must be taught in all aspects. This cannot be set up according to the usual academy of the Great Wei.

And her plan was that from the time the academy was built, it would be co-educational. However, she plans to tell Old Man Yu Qiong about this matter in private, and she will not put it on the surface for the time being.

In addition, Su Hengyu also told Mr. Yu Qiong about the second assessment tomorrow.

"If you come along and listen, we are going to have an interview this time, that is, those who have passed the first round of assessment, communicate face-to-face with us, the examiners, and answer our questions on the spot, one is to see their on-the-spot reflexes, and the other is to see their thinking ability."

As soon as these two words came out, even the old man Yu Qiong, who was full of poetry and books, was stunned.

It was the first time he had heard this kind of statement, but after listening to Su Hengyu's explanation, he couldn't help but feel that these two words were really ingenious.

For young people who want to work under Su Hengyu in the future, Old Man Yu Qiong is naturally very interested in taking a look.

He knows that there are not enough talents here, which can be seen from the papers of the first assessment. However, he still has expectations for these people.

So, under Su Hengyu's kind invitation, Old Man Yu Qiong still participated in the second assessment, and sat next to Su Hengyu, listening to her keep asking questions, watching this group of young people almost cry when they were "embarrassed".

However, this assessment still achieved a happy ending, and Su Hengyu successfully found several subordinates with training value.

Ah Miao and Qi Miao were both selected, and two other men, Liao Jue and Zhou Heng, were also selected.

As long as the rest are not too bad, they have basically got the position of a small official.

When the list of selected candidates is posted in front of the county yamen again, there will be more people who come to see the list this time.

The four lucky people who were selected were so excited that their faces were red, and Ah Miao rushed back to his home with his friends as soon as he learned that he had an official position, and informed his parents of the good news.

"Daddy, Daddy! I was selected, and I will be an official in the county government from now on! I'm an official, I'm no longer a useless little girl in those people's mouths, I've done something that a lot of men can't do, do you hear?! Ah Miao was so excited that she was about to cry at the moment.

She has never had a moment so happy as today, as if the depression of the past years has been vented at this moment.

Ah Miao's family did not treat her as harshly as other families who hated girls, on the contrary, her father and mother often sold her new clothes and left good things for her to eat.

But even so, the two often complained, but unfortunately she was not a boy when she was born.

Ah Miao is both angry and helpless about this, this is the way of the world, men can do so much more than women. At least she can't go to the imperial examination, and she won't be able to be an official in the future.

She thought she would spend her whole life in such depression, but today everything has changed.

Ah Miao's father and mother listened to their daughter's words coldly, and they looked at their daughter who had not seen her for many days and had burst into tears at some point, and only her sentence echoed in their minds:

"I'm going to be an official!"
