Chapter 600 Xian'er, Why Don't You Become a Teacher?

"Although the imperial court has now suspended the imperial examination, it is always a good thing to teach children to read and write. Zhao Guan led this righteous act, and we are also duty-bound." Xia Yuanzhang's words aroused the unanimous approval of everyone.

No matter in what age, the importance of education is always engraved in the bones of the Chinese people, especially the majority of people from Shandong who entered the Guandong. Shandong is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and they attach more importance to education than other places. To run a school, everyone must support, not only verbal support, but also practical support.

Those who are rich contribute money, and those who are powerful contribute money. Businessmen like Xia Yuanzhang came here with money. Some farmers in the surrounding areas may not have much savings, but they also said that whether it is leveling the land or building a house, they just need to say hello. Just come to help, and there is no wages.

Don't look at China being bullied by other countries right now, but as long as there are such ordinary people, one day I will be able to defeat those foreign devils! Seeing this scene, Shen Long's nose felt a little sore, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

"I appreciate your kindness." Shen Long thanked everyone with a bow, "There are some things I want to say first. I run this school not to enable children to be officials, but to enable them to know how to read and count. As for being blind, in the future, no matter if you continue to study, or become a clerk in a shop, you will always be better than an illiterate person."

"When they learn how to read and count, they may teach them something new, so that they can know what kind of world we are in now, and why little devils and old men come to Kanto to bully us." Four Books Shen Long didn't intend to teach these things about the Five Classics, not to say that these things are completely useless, it's just that it's better to learn something more practical right now.

"Chuanwen's words are reasonable. There is no smoke from our ancestral graves, and we don't expect our children to win the top prize and become a high-ranking official. They can know how to write and count. Just don't be fooled by shopkeeper Wu and others when selling grain and mountain products." Someone said. Nod in agreement.

Shopkeeper Wu was not happy when he heard this, "I have always been innocent in my business, when did I fool you?"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd. It seemed that shopkeeper Wu's reputation in the hearts of the common people was not as good as he said.

After the episode, Xia Yuanzhang sighed, "Yes, the Kanto region has been plagued by old men and little devils all these years. It's good to let the dolls know the truth behind it."

Most of his family members died in the Russo-Japanese War, and he hated the old Maozi and the little devils. He himself didn't have the heart to fight the old Maozi and the little devils, but he was always unwilling to let his grandson suffer as well. this sin.

"Speaking of which, I would like to ask Dong Xia's family for a favor." Shen Long pointed to the open space outside and said, "I set up this school to accept not only boys but also girls; the imperial court has issued a decree this year If we want to set up women's schools all over the country, our Yuanbao town can't lag behind.

"

"At that time, I plan to build two schools, one for boys to study, and one for girls." It's not the time for coeducational schools, even children are prone to all kinds of troubles, "This is for boys. There is no shortage of teachers for my baby to teach, but it is not easy to find a female teacher, your daughter is very knowledgeable and knows Western learning, if she can come to be a teacher, that would be the best."

"This..." Xia Yuanzhang hesitated. Although his daughter Xia Yushu is not very old, she is not bad at all. As Shen Long said, she studied both Chinese and Western. It is definitely more than enough to teach some dolls. But he is really good at making his own daughter a teacher. have not thought.

"In such a big school, one teacher must be too busy, so I plan to let my family Xian'er help Ling Qianjin and also come to teach in the school. Anyway, the school is not far from Chunhesheng, so it is convenient to go home for dinner and so on. "Xia Yushu will become a teacher in the future, Shen Long just moved this time forward.

"Yes, yes, in our entire Yuanbao Town, there is no girl who can compare with the daughter of Dong Xia's family. It would be enough if my daughter can learn the jade script. This is a good thing, Dong Xia, you can't shirk it! "Xia Yushu is well-behaved, and he speaks and behaves gracefully. I don't know how many people want to raise their daughters to be like this.

Of course, there are also many people who can't turn the corner, always feel that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and that girls' studies are useless, but under Shen Long's strong persuasion, this matter has been settled for the time being.

Xia Yuanzhang went back and thought about it for a few days. Before he could think it through, Xia Yushu got the news that he was going to be this gentleman, and Xia Yushu was the only child left in the Xia family.

Shen Long also went back to Fangniugou and talked about it with his family. It is a good thing to run a school, and Zhu Kaishan and his mother Wen will not object, but they still have some disagreements about Xian'er going to teach and running a girls' school. But bend over.

"Girls, what's the use of reading? It's better to learn how to do needlework with shoe soles." Wen Ta Niang muttered.

"Learn this too. Xian'er is good at crafting, so I just teach these girls this." This is also the method Shen Long came up with in order to reduce obstacles. In addition to reading and literacy, he also taught these girls some practical skills.

"I... I'd better forget about it. Yushu is enough. Yushu is so knowledgeable that she even knows about Westerners. She can teach it well. I'd better stay at home and be filial to my parents." I want to go, but I can't bear to leave all the housework to Mrs. Wen.

"Just one teacher in the school is not enough, we have so many dolls in Yuanbao Town." Shen Long smiled, he knew Xian'er's concerns, so he turned his head and said to Zhu Kaishan, "Just right, I have something to think about this time. Discuss with the family."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Kaishan looked at Shen Long, feeling happy and depressed at the same time. What was happy was that the child of the Zhu family was promising, but what was depressed was that this child was too promising, right? It takes a lot of skill to create such a big scene? Those things that he was proud of in the past seem to be nothing in front of this child.

"I was thinking, should we just move our family to Yuanbao Town?" Shen Long said, "Now Yuanbao Town is getting more and more lively. Businessmen and caravans who come and go from south to north every day crowded the streets, but There is no good restaurant in the whole town? How about we open a Shandong restaurant? It will definitely make a lot of money."

"When Xian'er comes back from teaching, he can still help his mother with the housework, and Chuanjie and I can go home every day, so our family can be reunited." Zhu Kaishan will open a Shandong restaurant in Harbin in the future. Shen Long planned to advance this time again.
