At this time, Wang Lian looked at the words on the red paper and his pupils couldn't help but dilate.
Is this... really possible?
Seeing his appearance, the onlookers became more and more curious about what was written on the red paper, which could shock even the officials in the government office.
"Sir, please read it quickly, we are all so anxious!"
"Yes, sir, don't just look at it yourself, but also tell us..."
At this time, the people no longer cared about the distinction between superiority and inferiority, they just wanted to know what was written on it.
Wang Lian was disturbed by everyone and came to his senses, with excitement in his eyes and unable to calm down in his heart for a long time.
"The county wants you to send the girls in your family to study. As long as they are over five years old, they can study. There is no age limit for those above..."
"What, there is no age limit, does that mean that not only my daughter, but also my wife can go?"
"Hahaha, I'm afraid not only your wife, but also your mother can go! I think Princess Rongning has lost her mind after posting this notice!"
They didn't wait for Wang Lian to finish speaking. When they heard the news about the age-restricted study, the crowd became excited.
What do you mean? Princess Rongning wants all the women in the family to study?
Then who will do the work at home?
Besides, who doesn’t know that studying is the most expensive thing? It’s not good to have spare money to provide for your son, but what’s the benefit of providing for your daughter? Not to mention sending their daughter-in-law to study, this is simply a fool’s dream!
A group of people stared, and if it weren't for Jiang Miao's identity, they didn't dare to speak freely, and they would have cursed.
Wang Lian was choked with the rest of his words, and quickly shouted loudly to ask them to quiet down.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. After listening to it, you will know that I wrongly blamed the princess. Reading is a great good thing."
"What the adults said, who doesn't know that studying is a good thing, but we have no money. How can we send our children to study without money? If studying can make money, do you think everyone will rush to send it!"
"No, if we can really make money, my three daughters, plus my wife, they won't be able to make a fortune hahaha..."
Everyone knew that this was impossible, and Princess Rongning was not a philanthropist, so she gave away so much money for nothing.
Besides, she set up factories, built roads, dug coal, and found jobs for the people of Qiongzhou.
Although the people felt that Jiang Miao's idea of letting women study was unrealistic, they would not really ridicule her.
It's good for her to have such a heart, but they are too poor to realize it.
Thinking of their own poverty, everyone had no intention of laughing. If they had the time, they might as well do more work and earn a few more copper coins.
Seeing that everyone was about to disperse, Wang Lian didn't bother to explain in detail and directly shouted at the crowd.
"Who said you can't make money by studying? The princess really gave the Qiongzhou woman a chance!"
"What? Sir, did we hear it correctly? You can really make money by studying. How do you do this?"
"Yes, sir, please tell me in detail!"
The people who were about to leave were shouted back by Wang Lian's voice. When they heard the money, they ran faster than anyone else.
Wang Lian snorted in his heart. He had been robbed of his words just now. Wang Wenwen had a grudge in his heart.
"Why are you so anxious? If you just say a few words less and let me finish what I have to say, you won't have to think too much here."
"Sir, it's all our fault, don't argue with the kids..."
"Yes, yes, you have a lot, we won't talk about it anymore!"
Wang Lian wasn't really angry, so he naturally wouldn't argue with them. He coughed and cleared his throat.
"Our princess truly cares about the people."
As the princess, Wang Lian was full of rainbow farts as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Not only does she not charge any money for running a girls' school, but the ladies can also get scholarships if they study well..."
Wang Lian still doesn't know what a scholarship is, but he can guess from the literal meaning that it must be related to study.
"Moreover, the princess not only teaches the girls reading and literacy, but also teaches them cooking skills. Even blacksmithing and carpentry, which were previously only done by men, the princess also teaches them. You said, with so many skills, even if you only learn one,
Then in the future, when everyone has the ability to survive, ask yourselves, who doesn’t want to learn it?”
At this time, Wang Lian hated that he was not a woman, otherwise he would have signed up no matter what.
Princess Rongning, who can write such wonderful arithmetic problems, must have a lot of wonderful and erudite knowledge in her mind.
He now hopes that his daughter will live up to her expectations, learn more, and strive to learn 60 to 70% of Princess Rong Ning's skills, and then teach her to him.
"Sir, the princess's women's college really doesn't charge money. Can everyone get the scholarship, or are there any conditions?"
If they really get money by going to school, then they will definitely send their daughter there.
They were afraid that the princess had lied to them.
Wang Lian scratched his head. In fact, he didn't know. The paper just said that studying can make money, but he didn't know exactly how to make money.
"The county bishop's skills are so practical, and he doesn't charge you tuition. After you learn the craft, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money?"
"My lord, what you are saying is, I will go back and get my daughter to sign up as soon as possible!"
"Me too. If it's too late and the students are full, it will be too late to regret!"
Everyone ran home one after another for fear of being slow.
But some people disagree. Even if there is no tuition fee, if my daughter is sent to study, who will do the work at home?
Didn't you hear Mr. Wang say that not everyone can earn this money? They don't think their daughter is smart enough to get this scholarship.
There are not a few people like this. Jiang Miao had expected it a long time ago, but she didn't take it to heart because there was an invisible benefit that she hadn't mentioned yet.
The women's college is a part-time study program. You have to attend classes for half a day and do housework for half a day. When the news gets out, more people will sign up.
Moreover, when she wants to open a food court, the shop owner will choose among these students. With such a great opportunity in front of her, who would have the heart to give it up.
Sure enough, as soon as the news of the part-time study program spread, the people who were still waiting and watching immediately changed their attitude.
"Where's Niuniu? Hurry up and sign up for the Women's College, and sign up for your mother too. From now on, you two will take turns to study. Our family will have two female champions!"
Many people's homes said the same thing. Jiang Miao looked at the woman and young lady at the door of the concubine, with a happy smile in her eyes.
Sure enough, in the face of absolute interests, how can there be any preference for sons over daughters? The so-called preference for sons over daughters is just because having a daughter brings no benefits.
If a daughter can earn money to support the family and serve as an official like her son, her parents will gradually treat them equally in the eyes of their parents.
Wang Min helped Jiang Miao register the number of people who had signed up. She looked at the long queue outside and her eyes were astonishingly bright.
So many young ladies are here to learn how to read and write. After they finish learning knowledge, they can devote themselves to the construction of Qiongzhou.
By then, Qiongzhou will undergo earth-shaking changes.
