The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Chapter 86 Recruiting Students (2)

The requirements for the initial entrance examination were set by Xie Shuting and Dong Pingchang. After all, it was the first day of the county school and the students' abilities varied, so teaching was a big problem.

In order to solve the dilemma, Xie Shuting came up with the current assessment plan, which is to eliminate those who cannot write and have no basic skills.

After multiple rounds of selection, students are divided into classes according to their abilities, thereby reducing the teachers' energy and providing teaching in accordance with their aptitude.

About half an hour later, Xie Ningzhi and Cao Yue had finished planting the yellow flags. The students sitting there were already sweating profusely on their cheeks.

Naturally, they did not want to miss this great opportunity. After all, the notice issued by the county government clearly stated that "students entering the county school do not need to pay any tuition fees."

This is a great blessing for most poor people.

But when all the students looked up at Xie Tingwen, they didn't dare to say what was in their hearts.

Xie Tingwen naturally saw the fear in everyone's eyes. He stroked the teacup and said softly, "Don't worry. Since I have made a promise, I will naturally make your wish come true."

Everyone was confused by what he said, and the fear in their eyes had turned into bewilderment.

Xie Tingwen took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said, "The county school is divided into four classes: Earth, Heaven, Darkness, and Yellow. The ones with yellow flags on the tables are the Earth class, and the ones with red flags are the Darkness class."

When Xie Tingwen said this, he glanced at the students standing under the courtyard wall and said with a little regret: "As for you, you are in the yellow class."

The students who were originally disappointed now showed joy on their faces, and immediately bowed their heads and said, "Thank you very much, sir, for your mercy."

Although they have not been educated, they do have some understanding of the ways of the world, and they know how to respond to this kind of affection without their parents teaching them.

Xie Tingwen nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the two and said, "The rest is up to you."

"The child will definitely do everything for his father."

"Farewell, sir." Cao Yue bowed hurriedly.

Xie Tingwen nodded slightly, and the gate of the county school opened. The people outside were looking forward to it, staring at the yard closely.

Dong Pingchang looked at the expectant expressions of the crowd, and walked forward slowly, saying, "Everyone can go in, but please don't crowd, otherwise it will easily cause a stampede, causing trouble for Master Xie."

No one dared to move after hearing this, and they nodded in agreement.

"Miss Xie! Please." Dong Pingchang stroked his hand and said.

Xie Shuting bowed slightly, and then led Lian Xi and Lian Qiao into the county school first. As for the common people behind them, under the leadership of the head of the police, they also slowly gathered in the courtyard.

After all, the space was limited, so many people were kept outside. Some carefree people piled up on the wall of the county school, watching what was going on inside.

"Father!" Xie Shuting bowed.

"Thank you for your hard work today." Dong Pingchang also stroked his hand, unable to hide his gratitude in words.

He just knew that if Xie Tingwen had not been present today, he would not be able to control the situation with his abilities.

It's possible that things will get messed up. After all, studying is the last resort for common people to change their status.

"It's okay. This is what my subordinates are supposed to do. The classes have been divided. As for how to teach, I'll leave it to Naijian and the two teachers to take care of it."

The three of them bowed their heads hastily upon hearing this and said, "These are all our duties, so there is no need to worry about them."

It was rare for Xie Ningzhi to be serious for once. After all, there were many people living outside the city, and he didn't dare to lose face for Xie Tingwen.

After a few people talked for a while, they heard a weak voice from the crowd, which caused doubts to arise in everyone's hearts again.

"Thank you, sir! Do I really not have to pay tuition fees to study in the county school?"

Shuxiu refers to the remuneration given by students to their teachers. Most of the time, it is replaced by food, but there are also requirements, one of the indispensable things is dried meat.

Poor families could hardly have meat even during the Chinese New Year, let alone other things, which they could not afford.

Xie Tingwen looked at the person who asked the question. He was no more than twenty years old, but his face was haggard and he was obviously a farmer.

Xie Tingwen naturally understood everyone's concerns. The government of Laigu County had disappointed the people too much. They only held on to a glimmer of hope today and just came to take a look.

Thinking of this, Xie Tingwen said softly: "Don't worry, everyone. My orders are consistent and will not disappoint the people."

Xie Tingwen said this, then changed the subject and said in a clear voice: "Not only will the students of the county school be exempted from all their studies, but they will also receive a piece of hemp paper every month, and the four treasures of the study will also be provided by the county school for all the students."

The rarity of paper was clear to all the people present, without Xie Tingwen's explanation. Although it was hemp paper, the cost was not small.

Dong Pingchang was shocked. He was a little worried about whether Huichuntang could maintain its profitability. Then he heard Xie Tingwen's powerful voice.

"Naijian! You can go to the government office today and ask the head of the household office to get a thousand strings of silver to buy the corresponding supplies."

Dong Pingchang nodded mechanically. After all, these things were not included in their discussion at all.

Little did they know! Only Xie Tingwen and his daughter knew all this. Even Xie Shuting, who was always in control of the situation, just listened obediently today.

She didn't want to be too prominent and steal Xie Tingwen's opportunity to establish his authority.

After listening to Xie Tingwen's words, the people could not hide their joy and asked questions one after another eagerly, most of which were about the county school.

Xie Tingwen also answered patiently, and his gentle and elegant demeanor instantly won the favor of the people.

At this moment, another inappropriate voice was heard: "Thank you, sir! I would like to ask, are you not going to recruit students after today or..."

Xie Tingwen glanced at the other person with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Anyone who has a registered residence in Laigu County and meets the requirements can study in the county school."

As soon as these words came out, they instantly caused an uproar. After all, most of the people present today were from the city, and the people from the three townships and seven villages outside had basically not received the news yet.

Seeing everyone's high spirits, Xie Tingwen had to raise his hand to interrupt them and said, "The school will start tomorrow. Everyone, take your children home first. Master Dong will make arrangements starting tomorrow."

Dong Pingchang hurriedly replied, "Everyone, please go back first. Tomorrow, the class will start at 7:00 p.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. Please go ahead!"

The students were ecstatic and bowed to Xie Tingwen one after another, and then were taken back by their parents.

The originally bustling county school compound returned to silence in just a moment.

Dong Pingchang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said worriedly, "Sir! I didn't expect so many people. I'm afraid three teachers are not enough!"

Before Xie Tingwen could speak, Xie Shuting at the side hurriedly said, "I have already arranged this matter. Mr. Dong, you don't have to wait for the honor. Someone will come within three days."

Hearing Xie Shuting's words, everyone present was inexplicably confused. Even Lian Xi was a little dazed, because he had never sent any information to the Lotus House.
