The academy was built from August to December. Because it was for the development of the entire Jingxian County, Dong Nuan did not provide any additional money. All of it was included in the two seasons of corvee work a year. No one had any objections to this.
Occasionally, if a few people get tired and make a few sour remarks, they will be directly criticized by the villagers.
In December, Qingyun Academy was officially completed, located halfway up the mountain in Luoshan Village.
The academy has been built and all the necessary items are ready.
What's the difference now?
Master.
How can you do it without a Master?
Dongnuan has specially divided the male and female campuses, separated by a mountain path in the middle. Men and women study separately, which saves the parents of the students from worrying about problems arising from co-education with men and women.
For the Master, Dong Nuan has been taking aim early in the morning.
Now they are just starting out, so enlightened masters only need scholars.
There was a scholar in Jingxian County. He was not too old, he was about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old. He was the youngest son of Mr. Sun's family.
I took the exam twice, but failed. The scholar at that time also stepped on the tail to get up.
Therefore, he had no intention of reading any more.
I used to work as a bookkeeper in a cloth shop in Fucheng.
Now when he heard that Dong Nuan needed a wife, he quietly came to ask.
If Dong Nuan really needed it, he could just quit the accounting job.
Dongnuan took a test on his knowledge and found that this person was pretty good, so he hired him.
One wife is not enough, we need more.
Dong Nuan went everywhere to search for talents, not to mention finding a few good ones.
Counting Sun Xiucai, there are three wives in total. With Cao Xinyao on the woman's side, Dong Nuan doesn't need to worry.
The master is in place, and here at the mountain, the warmth in winter is temporary, because there is no suitable candidate.
Then, the academy can officially start enrolling students. o_m
If you put it in the past, when you didn’t even have enough to eat, how would you study?
What are you thinking about?
Just keep farming honestly.
But things are different now...
Now that they have money in their pockets, they can think about other things.
For example, it’s a matter of honoring one’s ancestors and honoring one’s lintel!
Therefore, my family's conditions are not bad, so I have discussed starting to send my children to the academy.
Some people with good conditions may give two as a gift.
If the conditions at home are poor, I will give one as a gift.
If it really doesn't work, you can still wait and see.
I heard that Dongnuan also recruits female students, and some people were stunned.
Is it okay for female students too?
I’ve never heard of a female official, a female wife, or anything like that?
Naturally, most people are not willing to do so. The girl is at home and can still help with the work. She is a very good labor force. It would be a pity to give it away.
And after you learn it well, if you marry someone in the future, it won’t be from your own family.
A small number of people think that it is good to be literate, so as not to be deceived by others in the future if they cannot read a single big character!
There are still few families who can think about it, so Cao Xinyao currently only has four students, one of whom is an older student.
The other party's name is Xu Qin, and she is the adopted daughter of Magistrate Xu.
Magistrate Xu had raised three sons. He happened to meet this adopted daughter, and then he raised the children as well.
Anyway, how many should I raise?
It happens that the family is short of a daughter.
That's right, this daughter has not been good at studying since she was a child, and she has been refusing to study all these years, resulting in a good boudoir girl who can't read a few Chinese characters.
She is already 15 years old this year, and she is about to meet and marry her. Although she may not be able to find a good one in Lizhou, and she is an adopted daughter, she is the daughter of the prefect after all, so she can find someone similar to her.
That's right...
If you are illiterate and you get married, how will you manage the house?
I don’t even understand how to calculate the accounts, how can I leave them to her?
Magistrate Xu was worried in the past, but now when he heard that Dongnuan was recruiting female students, Xu Qin just came back from his hometown to visit relatives, so Magistrate Xu sent him over directly.
Among the four female students, the others are all children around nine years old, and Xu Qin is the only one. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Being older, she is under a lot of pressure.
To be honest, she really doesn't like reading.
However, there is a saying...
All have come.
Well, it’s really nice to be warm in winter.
Xu Qin is a beauty person and likes good-looking boys and girls, so after seeing Dong Nuan's good looks, she instantly found the motivation to come to the academy.
Although Cao Xinyao's appearance can only be considered average, Xu Qin also likes her because she has a good personality and speaks softly.
Therefore, Xu Qin likes to come to the academy recently.
As we enter December, the Chinese New Year is approaching.
Dong Nuan is not in a hurry to recruit students, but has prepared everything for the New Year.
This year, their harvest was good. Anyway, during the autumn harvest, several counties even set off firecrackers.
Of course, except for Ke County, because their magistrate does have some relationship with Youchang State. He had caught the spy before and had already recruited him.
When His Majesty found out about this, he became furious.
If conditions didn't allow it, he would have wanted to directly bring Dong Nuan back to the capital.
Winter warmth should be kept under your nose for protection, otherwise the emperor will not feel at ease while sleeping.
Later, I was persuaded by all the adults, saying that Hanjiang Tower's political performance is good now, but if it doesn't work, I will transfer the person back next year.
The emperor thought that this was the case, and then he took the map again and began to study how to transfer Hanjiang Tower back and where to transfer it.
As for those spies, General Tui of the Song Dynasty used them to directly occupy six cities of Youchang Kingdom.
Although the other party said it was wrong, they wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the northwest to seize something directly.
Whether it's cities, fields, food or women...
As long as they can grab it, they want to grab it.
But, unfortunately, we were counterattacked.
General Song Tui is not joking with them. In the past, they were just testing each other. Now that His Majesty has made a decree, you can fight at will, so let's do it!
After the six cities were taken, Youchangguo became honest and hurriedly handed over the letter of surrender.
As for how they expressed their difficulty with snot and tears, they were deceived and it was all Nanguo's fault, then Dong Nuan would know.
Anyway, among these six cities, two have mountains connected to coal mines!
This is all money!
Dong Nuan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then she sent a letter to the emperor who was far away in the capital.
In a few months, Cao Xinyao's health has recovered, and the two children are now slowly coming out of the shadow of the past. Update @
Seeing that Cao Xinyao had done a good job in reporting the news, the emperor would not care about the origins of these two children.
Of course, these two children cannot take the imperial examination within three generations. This is also to prevent them from having any rebellious intentions, so it is a kind of suppression for them.
Cao Xinyao was not surprised by this.
As long as it doesn't hurt them and doesn't involve the Cao family, that's fine.
In this way, Cao Xinyao can stay in Jingxian with peace of mind and become her wife.
When she first escaped, she also brought some money with her, which was not too much. She spent a lot of money along the way, and now there is still a small amount left.
She was not greedy for more, she just spent money to open a dozen acres of land and hired people to plant it. By the end of the year, her mother and the others would still be able to have a guaranteed food ration.
For daily expenses and other expenses, she can be a wife.
