Chapter 196 Women also need to study
"Sir, are you really not charging any money? If not, how can the school be run?"
County Magistrate Song looked at the cherries.
Yingtao stepped forward to explain, "This is not something you should worry about. The government will take care of the money issue. You must remember how much Master Yue paid for this free school. The students' textbooks, the teachers' monthly wages... it's all money!"
"Mr. Moon Bodhisattva has descended to earth!"
Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily towards the direction of the city.
At this moment, even if Yunyue asked them to die, they would be willing to do so.
"Three days later, all children of school age will be enrolled in school! Oh, and I want to emphasize this! Regardless of whether they are boys or girls, all children of school age will be enrolled in school."
Cherry had just finished speaking when the little girl suddenly raised her head and looked at Cherry in disbelief.
"Ah? Girls have to go to school too?" someone in the crowd asked in confusion.
"Of course!"
Xiaoya's mother quickly said, "Miss Cherry, why should girls go to school? It's a waste! And what's the point of them studying? They have to get married and have children. I think it's better to save some money."
"Yes, yes! If everyone goes to school, who will take care of the children at home?"
"Isn't it? There's no point in a girl studying, so why not?"
Many people echoed her. Xiaoya's head, which had been raised, gradually dropped again. She just clenched her hands into fists, expressing her inner reluctance.
Yes, she is a girl, it was destined from birth...
"Don't you understand? I'll say it again, all school-age children, both boys and girls, must go to school! If you have a girl at home and you don't let her go, then your son won't be accepted into the school!"
"A daughter's education is useless? Do you want to see what you are talking about? The silver in your hands and the clothes on your body are all given to you by this woman, Master Yue. A daughter's education is useless? Say it again if you have the guts?"
County Magistrate Song quickly took up the conversation: "What are you talking about, you bunch of bastards? Not to mention Young Master Yue, even the capable people around Young Master Yue are all women. For example, isn't our Miss Cherry also a woman? Don't you want your daughters to become as capable as Young Master Yue and Miss Cherry?" After saying that, he looked at Cherry in a flattering manner.
"Don't play the game of pretending to obey me but actually disobeying me. Here is your population register. I will check it one by one. If there are girls in your family who are not allowed to go to school, then you will not be able to enjoy any policy benefits in the future!"
Once their own interests are involved, everyone immediately becomes anxious.
Let the girl go to school, it doesn't cost money anyway. What if? What if she really learns a little bit from Yue Gongzi and the others? Then she can marry a good man in the future!
Thinking of this makes me happy.
Xiao Ya looked at the woman on the stage, her eyes full of tears.
She can go to school! She can go to school!! It was Master Yue who gave her hope. She will definitely study hard and repay Master Yue! Change her life!!!
Government office.
Lingyao Yunyue stretched after interviewing a woman.
"Lingyao, is there anyone else?"
"No more, just these two." Lingyao stepped forward and pressed Yunyue's shoulder.
"Well, you two are already pretty good. There are too few women in this world who can read and write, and most of them come from wealthy families. And wealthy families won't let their daughters show their faces in public, so only these female tutors who are already tutors for these families come for the interview."
"Master, there are too many vacancies." Ling Yao was talking about recruiting female teachers in the school.
Although they hope that both boys and girls can go to school, in this world, if boys and girls are placed in the same classroom to study, both the parents of those children and the teachers of the academy will oppose it in their hearts.
Therefore, Yunyue specially divided the classroom so that children under 10 years old could study in one classroom, while those 10 years old and above were divided into different classes.
But because these teachers think that it is useless for girls to study, and knowing two words is enough. Unlike boys, they will have to take the imperial examinations and become officials in the future, so they don’t teach them carefully. Even though Yunyue said that they should treat them equally. But this is their behavior from the bottom of their hearts. It is really difficult to change.
Therefore, Yunyue planned to recruit more female teachers to teach these girls. Moreover, women were careful and could notice the psychological and physiological changes of girls and give them care.
But it is really hard to find a female teacher.
"It's okay. There's still one day left tomorrow, so let's wait a little longer. By the way, have Xia Lan, Liang Xian and the others gone to the county academy? How's Shu Shu doing?"
"Yes, Xia Lan and the others have already gone to class. Dean Ouyang's training courses for the young teachers from the county have also been going smoothly these days."
Yunyue smiled slightly. Now that the academies were open, she wanted Ouyang Shu to be the dean of the academies, but Ouyang Shu didn't want to, and insisted that Yunyue should be the dean. Yunyue also agreed, but Ouyang Shu must be the vice dean. This time Ouyang Shu didn't refuse and accepted it.
Because each county was short of female teachers, Xia Lan, the teacher in the village, and Liang Xian, who was beside Aunt Wang, went to provide support.
Ouyang Shu, on the other hand, provided training to the teachers selected from the county.
Because the students currently enrolled in the colleges in the four counties are basically those who have never received any education, the teachers in the academies are currently mainly teaching them how to read and write, so they are not very busy.
So Yunyue came up with an idea to train these young teachers so that they could also accept new things and new teaching methods.
Yun Yue wanted talents with all-round development, not nerds who only knew how to study in this era, or who only studied for the sake of science examinations. Moreover, they were going to formulate a new curriculum for each school in the next semester.
At that time, we will also add math classes, physical education classes, nature and science classes, etc., just like the schools in the village. We will also arrange interest classes for children to choose to learn some nursing, engineering, embroidery, etc., so that they can all have a skill.
The most important thing is their thoughts. Yun Yue didn't want the current teachers to bring some decadent and old-fashioned thoughts to the children, so she gathered these young teachers who were able to accept some new things together for training.
Li House.
Mr. Li was arguing with his daughter.
"Jiaojiao! Why are you so disobedient! I'm telling you one last time, if you dare to go out today, I'll break your legs!"
"Dad! How could you do this? Young Master Yue can be a prefect, so why can't I be a teacher?"
"Can you be the same? She is Prince Rong's woman, who dares to say anything about her? You are different! You have to get married!"
"I don't want it!! I don't want to be trapped in the backyard for the rest of my life!"
Mrs. Li, who heard the news, hurried over. She winked at her daughter, signaling her not to speak, and then walked over to pour a cup of tea for Mr. Li.
"Husband, don't be angry for now, have a cup of tea."
"How can I not be angry! Look at what a good daughter you have taught!" Master Li slammed the table.
"Husband, you've misunderstood. If I were to say, Jiaojiao's idea is correct!" Mrs. Li's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, and she spoke calmly.
"Right? Are you crazy?" Mr. Li raised his voice.
"Don't be anxious, my husband. Listen to me. That Young Master Yue is Prince Rong's man, right?"
"Is there any need to ask? Quan Tianchen knows it all."
"Prince Narong is the former crown prince of Tianchen. He will have a war with the current emperor sooner or later. If nothing else, just look at the people's hearts. By then, there is a great chance that Prince Narong will become the emperor."
"Even if Master Yue doesn't become the queen, he will be a concubine or something. If our Jiaojiao follows Master Yue, do you think that will happen..."
Mr. Li thought for a moment and said, "Prince Rong may not necessarily like Jiaojiao."
"What are you thinking? What I mean is that if Jiaojiao follows Master Yue, her status will rise. Then the person she marries will definitely be good! Even any of Prince Rong's subordinates cannot compare to these merchant sons!"
"Besides, you have said many times that Young Lady Yue is an extraordinary woman. Look at how Chengnan Prefecture is getting better and better. If our Jiaojiao can learn a little bit from Young Lady Yue, that would be amazing!"
Mr. Li looked at his daughter who looked stubborn and felt that what his wife said was somewhat right.
Thinking of the many powerful women around Master Yue, her powerful abilities, and Prince Rong who commanded an army of 100,000.
"Well, Jiaojiao, since you want to follow Master Yue, you must learn from him! If you meet a good man, you must seize the moment, understand?"
"I understand, Dad. I will study hard!" Li Jiaojiao automatically omitted her father's words asking her to find a good man.
