Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

Xiang Shangcai came back from Tiantai County and was arrested again. He and Wei Fuchang were responsible for building the school building.

The school building is still built near the market town.

There is a school ground and Ma Xin and others are there. Children come to class, and parents feel more at ease.

Gu Hongde was in charge of recruiting students. As soon as he arrived in the market town and sat down at the position in charge of recruiting students, he was surrounded by mountain people who came to inquire about the information on three floors and three floors outside.

Dozens of village owners from Lianzhai also flocked to the service center in the market town, and Su Qingyu held meetings with them for two days.

"President, are you really accepting both boys and girls?"

"yes."

"You really don't want to practice restraint?"

"No. But tuition and fees will still be charged."

"It should, it should. If we don't close the discipline, where will the salaries of the gentlemen come from?"

"The market town has also made a lot of money in the past two years. Let's take it from the people and use it for the people, and pay it out of the market town's income."

"The president is righteous!" the voices kept coming and going.

Su Qingyu raised her hand and pressed it: "What do you think of this matter, and what is the reaction in the village?"

"Of course we are extremely supportive. We did not catch up with the good times and were blind, but their generation caught up with the president and led us to wealth. Now that everyone is living a better life, naturally they want their children to be able to There is a future. Ever since I saw the notice posted by the president, the threshold of our home has been stepped down. People come to inquire about the news all the time, and we almost can't go out.

"So everyone wants to send their children to study?"

They all nodded: "Yes! There are some families who need help from their children, and those whose families can't spare the money are also hesitant."

"Yeah. I understand. You can't force it. You don't necessarily need to study and learn to read to have a future and survive. You can't make it difficult for your family to live because of this matter. It will cause trouble to everyone."

"yes."

Su Qingyao knew that there must be some people who would not send their children here for various reasons, such as the long distance, the reluctance to give up money, or the fact that there were many children at home, or there were small children at home who needed older children to help with housework. ,Variety.

Even with the nine-year compulsory education in modern times, many children in remote rural areas cannot go to school, let alone the current environment.

What about after reading and becoming literate?

There may not be many people in the mountains who want to send their children to take the imperial examination. And the current environment does not allow it. Even if you pass the imperial examination, which dynasty and emperor will you serve?

Su Qingyu didn't intend to force everyone to get married.

But now everyone has enough to eat and is well off, and families who love their children will think more about their children. And if people around you are sending their children to school, and your own children are watching eagerly, there will also be a herd effect.

Su Qingyu had seen the personnel files of each village before, and she knew how many school-age children there were.

At this meeting, she once again counted the number of children who were willing to study. Next, she had to arrange a lot of things, and the number of students was the key.

The school building was quickly filled with people.

As soon as everyone heard that they were not allowed to send their children to school, anyone at home who wanted to send their children to school volunteered to help. They refused to take any wages, so they started working.

Xian Niang found two people from her family to work with her as mistresses, and also hired people in the village to help with housework.

Her mother-in-law was very open-minded. When she heard that the madam wanted to ask her daughter-in-law to be a mistress, she was very happy and supportive. She took the two children over and pushed Xian Niang to Su Qingyu to get the job.

And Gu Hongde has also recruited male teachers.

I originally wanted to recruit three, but five of them met the requirements. Su Qingyu counted the registered children and estimated that there would be thousands of children in the forty-five villages. So I kept five male gentlemen who met the conditions.

There are nine in total including Gu Hongde. If there are thousands of school children, these nine gentlemen may not be enough. However, there are very few people who can read and read in the mountains, so it is good to single out these nine gentlemen. If you are too busy in the future, I will look for you later.

Next comes the matter of books.

Su Qingyu called nine gentlemen and asked them about the teaching materials. After some discussion, they decided to start teaching from three hundred thousand.

Su Qingnao sent Qingyang to a private school before and learned about the current private school education.

Nowadays, Mengtong still starts with literacy. From the initial "three, one hundred, one thousand", to "Collection of Famous Sages", "Poems of Prodigy", to "Five-character Miscellaneous Characters", "Seven-character Miscellaneous Characters" and so on. This is the first stage, starting with literacy education.

The education, or books, of this period had a common feature, which was that the sentences were short and neat, the four tones were clear, the oblique and oblique words were opposite to each other, the syllables were easy to read, and the characters were large.

Even children who are not very smart can read it easily, it is catchy, and they can master it quickly.

Once the sentence is read well, the words will be memorized.

This stage makes full use of the characteristics of Chinese and Chinese characters with single and four-syllable syllables, giving full play to the characteristics of strong memory in childhood. It also fully avoids the shortcomings of poor understanding in childhood and avoids using obscure and difficult knowledge that will cause children to be bored. study.

This period mainly focuses on the development and training of children's memory, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening knowledge and memory, and achieving the purpose of literacy.

After completing the first stage of literacy education, reading education begins in the second stage. Read, recite and understand. These are the Four Books and the Five Classics.

After reaching a consensus with several gentlemen, Su Qingyu thought about where to buy these "three hundred thousand".

Books in this era were quite expensive, and she bought so many at once. The quantity was so large that she had to find a big merchant to help get the goods.

When Su Qingyu was still thinking about where to buy so many books and whether she should ask her godfather for help, shopkeeper Ding came to her.

"Ms. Su has done another good deed for the mountains. Ding admires her very much. I am ashamed of Mrs. Su's high righteousness."

"Shopkeeper Ding is serious. He just saw a bunch of children doing nothing at home. They are too young to help the family. He wanted to gather them together to recognize a few words so that they would not go blind. "

"Ding admires Mrs. Su's foresight. In the future, under the governance of the King of Yue, Yue will definitely prosper and will definitely need a lot of talents. After Mrs. Su has trained these students, are you still worried that the King of Yue will lack people to use it? Mrs. Su has now become Princess of the Yue Kingdom, this is really a plan for the Yue Kingdom that will last a hundred years. "

Ah, she didn't think that far ahead.

It was just that the adults in the mountains were busy, and the children were left unattended, rolling around in the mountains, and she couldn't stand it.

"Shopkeeper Ding has given me too much praise. I came today..." I was so embarrassed by his praise.

"Ding heard that Mrs. Su was worried about books for school children. Manager Li got the news and ordered someone to send a message, saying that I, Yongfeng, was willing to help and purchased the school books for Mrs. Su, and only charged the cost. , Don’t make Mrs. Su a penny.”

so good? So high-spirited?

Su Qingyu looked at him with an unmoving expression.

"Manager Li said that it has been a pleasure to cooperate with Mrs. Su in the past few years. Our Yongfeng Hao has made a lot of money because of Daqingshan and has become one of the best companies. We also want to give something back to the mountain people."

Su Qingyu looked at him intently. Shopkeeper Ding was frightened by her sight, but she didn't show any signs of it.
