Here in the capital, officials and family members organized by several princesses and Mrs. Chen jointly launched an initiative to request the establishment of the first girls' school in the capital.
The first girls' school did not require royal funding. Princess Rong Yue took the lead in raising funds. With the strong support of ladies, the first girls' school was built in full swing.
In the Northern Tang Dynasty, wealthy families or official families would set up private schools for girls, so there were always women who were literate or well-educated. When Yuan Qingling was chatting with ladies of honor both inside and outside, she casually mentioned:
It would be best if these knowledgeable women could serve as teachers in the first girls' school.
After a pause, she added, of course, maybe the father or husband at home may not agree, but there are always some men who are reasonable and willing for women to progress together with men. She hopes to see such good men in the capital.
These casual words will definitely spread, and the kind of good man the Queen wants to see will definitely appear.
As for a man, if you scold him a few words, he will easily become stubborn, but if you praise him a few words, especially the praise of the current queen, he will be willing to do anything.
Zelan was the first to stand up and said that he wanted to be a teacher at a girls' school.
Zelan's decision was not even expected by Yuan Qingling, because she knew that her daughter was very afraid of trouble, especially recently she was also busy with those things. She was hardly in the palace at night. During the day, besides sleeping, she was busy with investigations. She almost
There is no spare time.
She went to talk to Zeelan, who leaned on her shoulder and yawned, "Mom, I can arrange the time. I can shorten the daytime investigation because the investigation is for the sake of caution, but
In fact, my own induction, as well as the selection of the Hell Fire Ring, will not go wrong, so I will just use my time during the day to become a teacher."
"But you have to go out at night and be a teacher during the day, won't it be too busy?
You have to know that at the beginning of the school, everything was difficult."
"I'm mentally prepared. I decided to go after thinking about it. It's not a momentary passion. I'm the princess of Beitang. I have this obligation and responsibility, so I won't talk about it. As a daughter, I always have to help my mother.
Share the responsibility."
"good!"
Yuan Qingling rubbed her forehead, feeling indescribably happy.
Zeelan yawned again. In front of her mother, she was as impudent as she could be. "Besides, I want to do more meaningful things and don't want to waste my time. These days are passing by in vain. It's such a waste."
"You didn't spend your time in vain, you already have the emperor's destiny."
"If you can do it, do more. I remember hearing the grandfathers from Prince Su's Mansion say before that a person can't just do one thing, but can do several things at the same time. Anyway, the time is arranged by oneself."
Yuan Qingling smiled, "Well, you should take them as an example. They once held many positions."
"I just want to work hard and try my best."
Yuan Qingling felt that her daughter was very sensible and once again thanked Qihuo and his wife for teaching her well.
Princess Jinghe also recommended herself, but Yuan Qingling considered that she had many children in her family, some of whom were still in the period of rebellion, and she couldn't separate them, so she rejected her recommendation.
Mrs. Yao also recommended herself, and Yuan Qingling agreed. Her child is small, but when she goes out during the day, people at home can take care of her. Today's ruined sky is not the ruined sky of the past. The number of servants in the family is large, and the brothers of Leng Langmen are very good.
He was jealous of his children and always asked him to take them back for everyone to play with.
Yuan Qingling also suggested that the school could open some craft classes, add embroidery, wood carving, pottery, painting, etc., and try to attract as many girls as possible.
Master Xu responded positively and said he was willing to teach at the school for free.
Master Xu was well-known. After the Beiya case was settled, it was announced to the public that Master Xu was imprisoned and tortured by evil officials for protecting his female disciples, but he was still tenacious and unyielding.
Her own experience is also known to everyone. She was once interviewed by a magazine and talked about how she has become independent and self-reliant over the years and raised several sons.
What happened to Master Xu has positive educational significance, allowing everyone to see that women can be independent and self-reliant by relying on a craft, and do not need to rely on anyone.
Moreover, among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, craftsmanship is still highly valued. Daughters of ordinary people can do embroidery and sell it for money. However, the tuition fees for studying in embroidery workshops are too expensive. It is free to enter a girls' school, so naturally there is a rush to sign up.
Mrs. Yao counted the number of people and reported to the queen.
"There are far more people studying art than literate people. Will this go against our original intention?"
Yuan Qingling shook his head, "No, no, when they enter school, what courses they need to study are arranged by our school, and their interests are cultivated slowly. We should be more patient. This is a good idea."
Start."
"Okay, let's do this first."
Mrs. Yao also acted vigorously and without further words, she immediately left the palace to do some business.
