If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

"Oh, tell me what's the matter." Meixiang was very curious. Since building a school was something they had been considering and planning for a long time, what could be the matter that could not be decided now and required her to make the decision?

Old Man Luo scratched his head and spoke with a slightly bad tone: "It's about the matter of enrolling students. Logically speaking, all the children in Luojia Village can go to school. Luo Sheng and I have counted that there are more than 20 to nearly 30 children in Luojia Village alone. The tuition and food of the teacher are quite a lot of expenses. If there are classes all day, adding some tea and snacks in between will be a considerable expense. The money for building the school can be taken out from the village, but how to pay for these daily expenses?"

"How should we collect tuition from each child? Some families are like the old man Zhang's family you met last time. It is difficult for him to feed his grandson alone, let alone pay tuition. And should we accept children from other villages who come to study? If we do, how should we calculate the tuition? We are really undecided about these things. Please give us some advice, young lady."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Wang, Doctor Dou, and Doctor Gudu also stopped writing out of curiosity, pricked their ears as if listening attentively, and did not dare to put down the pens in their hands, ready to take notes at any time.

This is indeed a problem. Although in modern terms everyone has the right to education, different family circumstances will certainly impose some restrictions on each child. This problem cannot be completely avoided in modern times, let alone in this new dynasty where even the problem of food and clothing has not been completely solved.

But for Meixiang, Liuzhou Prefecture is her fiefdom, and the people of Liuzhou Prefecture are her subjects. She should give every child a relatively equal opportunity and try her best to avoid cutting off their path to education.

"Strictly speaking, the nature of the school in Luojia Village and the private school of Mr. Liu in Liujia Village are not exactly the same, so they cannot be simply generalized. I think this is also the difficulty for Uncle Luo as the head of the village." Meixiang saw that Old Man Luo nodded repeatedly. In essence, she and Village Chief Luo were in the same position. "How about this? For the farmers in the village who are really in difficulty, just like you took them to repair their houses a while ago, you can appropriately reduce or exempt the maintenance. However, specific conditions and rules must be set and announced to all farmers. You can let them apply for it themselves or be recommended by other villagers."

"And such families are selected once a year and are subject to supervision by all villagers. As for children from other villages, they can be treated equally and admitted in the order of their registration. If the quota is full, they can be rejected. After all, the number of houses and teachers is limited, and it is impossible to accept all the children who come. Do you think this is feasible?" The idea was inspired by a news report that Meixiang saw on TV once, which said that during the holidays, leaders would visit families in need.

Is this possible? Old Man Luo, Doctor Wang and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Only Situ Yidong, who was sitting silently at the side, looked at Meixiang with pride. His girl was smart. With just a few words, she solved the problem that the others couldn't solve. Well, he learned the word "solve" from his sister Xiang'er.

Doctor Wang, who was stunned for a while, slapped his thigh and shouted, "Great! Yesterday I was still thinking about how to solve the problem of the salary and the candidate. Now I know what to do. Hahaha..."

Meixiang looked at him speechlessly as he got carried away with himself, and couldn't help but hit him maliciously: "Medical school is different from a child's enlightenment school. It's not at the same level at all, okay?"

"Eh?" The mouthful of tea that Doctor Wang had just fed into his mouth got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out.

"Hahaha..." Now it was Meixiang's turn to laugh triumphantly. Her hearty laughter spread throughout the Liu Mansion in an instant, making the tense atmosphere that had been tense since last night suddenly become a lot lighter, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

Doctor Wang quickly swallowed the tea in his mouth to avoid choking again. "You bad girl, now you have learned to make fun of me, your teacher? Do you still understand what it means to respect teachers? Huh?"

Meixiang saw Doctor Wang looking at her with a glaring face, so she quickly smoothed his words over: "No, no, how could I dare to say that. I just happened to say that, it was purely a coincidence, just a coincidence."

"Why don't you finish what you are saying? Do you still need me to urge you?"

Not daring to be presumptuous again, Meixiang quickly said, "Medical skills are different from other subjects. A doctor, especially a surgeon, can save lives or kill people without being seen." She glanced at the people sitting there, closed her eyes, and continued, "So I think character should be put first."

"What a way to kill people without being noticed," the lonely doctor who had been silent all this time suddenly interrupted, "I agree with what Miss Xiang'er said. Indeed, a doctor's character is more important than his medical skills. A word on the prescription, a little late at the time, a little carelessness when taking the pulse, a little greed... any of these can cost a person's life."

Doctor Wang and Doctor Dou nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and the other people in the room did not comment.

"Then how should this problem be solved? We don't know everyone?" Doctor Dou asked in a deep voice, and looked up at Meixiang who was sitting opposite him, facing her pair of smiling eyes, as if they could speak. You have seen them countless times, but every time you look at them again, you can't help but sigh again, what a good pair of eyes.

Suddenly, Doctor Dou was inspired and laughed loudly, waking up everyone who were thinking with their heads down.

"What have you thought of? Tell me quickly." Doctor Wang asked anxiously.

"Recommendation system." Doctor Dou said mysteriously. When these three words came out, Meixiang raised her hand and picked up the tea bowl in front of her, sipping it slowly. She knew that she had nothing to do with this topic. The people sitting here have been through many battles. Just give them a little hint and they can weave a dense and airtight net for you.

"Recommend?"

"That's right, recommendations. We don't know these people, but there must be someone who knows them, right? Then let those who know them recommend and guarantee them. It doesn't take many people, as long as there are three prestigious people who dare to guarantee him. Generally speaking, there won't be any big problems, unless..."

"Unless something..."
