Chapter 245: Teaching at the Imperial College
The guards quickly stated their stance, "Master, we swear allegiance to you until death and will never betray the prince or the Great Chu."
What a joke! Although they are all professionals, they are still far inferior to the prince.
What's more, it was the prince who gave them a way out when they were in the most difficult and desperate times.
The prince brought them to this magical place when they were homeless. This shows how much trust he has in them. How could they let him down?
"Then you two can discuss who will go?"
The candidates were quickly determined, and these sixteen people will not need to return to Beichuan for the next year.
After the guards left, Chu Moyuan asked the remaining people, "Second brother, Jinbao, what will your focus be from now on? Both businesses need dedicated people to take care of them. Do you want one to be in charge of Modern and the other of Great Chu, or do you want to take care of both? Each of you should be responsible for a business?"
Judging from the current situation, Chu Linzhou will focus on the modern era in the next few years, while Song Jinbao still has family businesses to manage, so he will focus on Da Chu.
It’s hard to say what will happen after a few years, and the two of them are very conflicted.
"In Da Chu, the main focus will definitely be on gold and treasure. I will be staying in the modern era for the longer term.
As for what will happen in the future, it's hard to say now. Why not let each of us take charge of a business first, and then decide after things stabilize in a few years." Chu Linzhou said.
Chu Moyuan nodded, "Alright, the bodyguard business..."
"Leave the bodyguard business to me first. I've gotten to know them today.
We had originally agreed that the second brother and I would work on the antiques. Now it seems that the second brother is handling it very well, so there is no need for me to get involved in this anymore." King Xiaoyao interrupted Chu Moyuan directly.
Chu Linzhou nodded in agreement.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Chu Moyuan agreed.
In the remaining days, the men followed the arms dealers to practice shooting, using and disassembling various military equipment.
This is simply a paradise for the three members of the Shan family and their guards.
Xia Youan took Xian Ling'er, Chun'er and others to play on the island, and Xie Yushi followed these women every day.
One day, General Shan couldn't stand it anymore and said sarcastically, "Old Xie, you're an old man now. Is it appropriate for you to be with a bunch of young girls every day?"
"Why is it inappropriate? You guys are all playing with guns, so what's wrong with me staying here to protect them? Besides, I'm a civil official, a civil official! Wielding swords and guns is something only old bastards like to do."
This was the first time General Shan had heard that Censor Xie could protect someone. "With what? With your old face?"
For fun, Censor Xie has lost all his dignity and dares to say anything, not even afraid of offending the emperor.
More than ten days passed in a flash.
Back in Bincheng, everyone whined that they didn't want to work.
After the Lantern Festival, Chu Moyuan sent them back to the capital before dawn.
Also traveling with them were Xia Youan, Xing Yinan, Lin Youyou, Liang Luowen and Liang Peishan.
In short, all those who could be recruited by Xia Youan to be teachers were recruited.
In addition, there are dozens of sets of math, physics and chemistry textbooks for junior high school, as well as pens and notebooks, whiteboards for teaching, etc.
Xia Youan does not want to change their tradition of using brushes.
But mathematics, physics and chemistry require a lot of calculations, using brushes and rice paper, and just thinking about that huge pile of paper gives her a headache.
To save trouble, it is better to use the practical and modern ones. It is also convenient to print the test papers.
The gate of the Imperial College remained the same as it had been when he first picked up Chu Moyuan from school, except that it had accumulated a bit more history over the past decade.
The chief academic officer of the Imperial College personally went to the gate of the Imperial College to welcome them.
"Welcome to the Imperial College. I am very grateful to you for taking time out of your busy schedules to teach students."
"Thank you, Lord Chen. It's our honor." Xia Youan said.
"Please~"
Xia Youan followed Lord Chen into the Imperial College. It was school time and many people saw them.
"Who are they? Why are they accompanied by the Lord Chief Priest himself?"
"This is our new teacher!"
"What? Teacher? Girl?" The classmate asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"I met him at the end-of-year palace banquet. He was specially invited by the Lord Jijiu at the palace banquet, and he received special approval from the Emperor."
"What can they teach us? Music?"
"No! It's new knowledge. I wonder if the class will start today. I really want to listen to their lectures."
Most of those who had seen them at palace banquets had a look of longing on their faces, but there were also few people at the banquets who were studying at the Imperial College.
Arriving at Lord Chen's office, Lord Chen asked, "Miss Xia said she wanted to teach the new students first, but there were also some who listened to the popular science lectures at the palace banquet and wanted to learn from them. However, they are all older. Can't they study together?"
"Of course you can. As long as you want to learn, no matter how old you are, we are willing to teach you with all our heart.
Mr. Chen, this is what I think. For the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry, we adopt the model of open classes. Those who have just enrolled should treat it as a subject and have to attend the class.
Those who are a little older can register in advance and then go to class according to the schedule. This is not mandatory.
What do you think of this arrangement?"
In fact, Xia Youan adopted the model of university elective courses, but only forced some people to participate.
After a few years, when those students have graduated and this group of students have grown up, we can just treat it as a normal subject.
Open classes are only temporarily adopted at this stage.
Master Chen stroked his graying beard and nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, then let's follow Miss Xia's instructions. Can we start the class today?"
"Of course, we've brought our textbooks. Master Chen just needs to find us a large classroom. We'll provide everything else ourselves."
"Those of you, please take a break. I'll have someone arrange the classroom and inform the students about the class."
After Master Chen left, Xia Youan said, "Today we have one class each for math, physics, and chemistry. Who do you want to start first?"
Several people looked at each other. None of them had ever been on the podium. It was their first time as a teacher, and they were all a little scared.
Seeing that no one was acting weird, Lin Youyou said, "Look how cowardly you guys are. Since none of you want to take the lead, let me do it!"
Xia Youan gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister, you're amazing. I admire you the most."
Lin Youyou puffed out her chest proudly like a victorious rooster, causing Liang Luowen to chuckle.
But I do admire her for her boldness in thinking and action, and her strong drive.
As they were chatting, Master Chen walked in and said, "Everyone, everything has been arranged. I will take you there."
"Okay, Master Chen!"
Xia Youan stood up and followed Lord Chen to the classroom. This time was completely different from the previous times she taught the children, and she was still a little nervous.
The Imperial College has a rich historical heritage, and walking on the corridor gives people a strong cultural atmosphere.
When he arrived at the classroom, Xia Youan couldn't help but twitch his lips. The classroom was packed with people.
