Chapter 253 No Money
It is much more comfortable to be in Zhuangzi than in the capital.
He spent the whole day looking at the mountain scenery, eating wild game in the mountains, and from time to time taking Sister Wei down the mountain to visit the girls' school.
Sometimes after a rain, wild mushrooms would grow in the mountains, and I would follow the farmers into the mountains to pick them.
I was having a great time eating the mushrooms I picked myself, chatting with my grandparents and grandchildren, and telling them interesting stories about the mountains.
Many farmers died in previous accidents at this summer resort. Later, the Charity Church provided relief to some women and children, and arranged for some of them to live here.
They also met the old lady who gave them a second life, and she was indeed as kind and benevolent as the rumors said.
Although they could not see their master casually on weekdays, on the first night when the old lady came, they all knelt in the room and kowtowed several times towards her.
This village is the closest to Qingyun Temple, so they all know that the girls' school at the foot of the mountain is specifically for girls in the village.
In the future, the girls in the family will not only be able to study, but will also be able to work in the master's shop.
These farmers really think they are so lucky to have such a good master. Even if they are asked to leave, they don't want to leave.
Nowadays, girls in the village have gradually become the most precious. Most families do not allow their girls to go to the fields, and only let them do some light work.
In order to make their children excel in girls' school, some secretly bought a pen and let their children hold it when they were young so that they could learn how to hold it.
When Song Shengfu heard the servants talking about this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
A small step today is a big step tomorrow.
Being driven by profit is much more effective than forcing a cow to drink water.
For farmers, being able to get tangible benefits is profit.
In this era, if you talk about gender equality, it is like telling the emperor that you and the people are equal.
Ideas are assimilated little by little.
Having said that, Song Shengfu touched her empty wallet and felt like crying but had no tears.
The next step in her plan is to open some new shops to prepare for the female students who will graduate in two years.
But at that time, all the crafts were patented and had to be purchased with money.
Duan Bofu has many shops and craftsmen, but he still lacks talent in some specialized fields.
How to do it?
Song Shengfu ordered people to go to various places in Da Chu to find craftsmen with real skills. The most direct way was to buy them.
It just so happened that they encountered a good time. Many people were desperate and even if they were unwilling to teach their skills to others, they had to compromise because of the livelihood of their families.
Although the girls' school has been open for more than a year and some teachers have been found, the screening process is still ongoing.
Most of the teachers in girls' schools are female because there are more courses related to knitting and obstetrics and gynecology.
But there are also male teachers, because some skills are learned by men.
Although it is a girls' school, the teacher does not shy away from selecting students of different genders.
There are strict regulations for girls' schools, the main one of which is to restrain male teachers to prevent them from having any other ideas about the students.
Even in modern civilization, there are countless cases of molesting students.
It has been a year now, and many teachers, both male and female, have been eliminated from the women's school.
Some are not suitable for teaching, some have poor character, and some do not agree with the educational philosophy of women's schools.
Song Shengfu’s instructions for this kind of person were simple: just fire them directly.
Teach by precept and example.
Such people only have a negative impact on students, which is not what Song Shengfu wants to see.
She was not actually a good person in the strict sense. Those who were expelled were sold to the Earl's Mansion.
Those who are selected have some abilities.
They were all locked up in the yard, and the Bo Mansion sent someone to teach them.
It doesn’t matter if you are not suitable to teach, the ability must be retained.
These specially trained people need to continue to be screened. Those who are suitable for teaching will enter girls' schools as teachers, and those who are not suitable will go to work in shops and become practical teachers in the future.
The main focus is on resource rationalization application.
All of these people, who were trained by themselves, have signed life-long contracts with the Bo Mansion.
These first-hand educational resources must be in our own hands.
In addition, the same principle applies to the first batch of graduating students.
With the continuous screening of talents, Song Shengfu's bags are gradually decreasing.
Fortunately, her shop makes a lot of money every year, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to afford it.
After the first batch of students graduate, we will start releasing a group of farmers.
Of course, it is based on the principle of voluntariness. Some families with good financial resources and expectations for their descendants can pay the ransom and become a free person.
She had initially worried about whether the number of farm households exceeded the regulations, but after some research, she discovered that no one cared about this unless they were military households.
Although there is no explicit regulation, in cases like this, if nothing goes wrong, it's fine. But if something does go wrong, it will be a serious crime that will be criticized.
So after thinking about it, I decided to let some people out slowly.
There are too many people and I can’t afford to support them.
Just when Song Shengfu was worrying about where to find the money, the second group of female students going to school had already set off from various villages.
This year, there were about two hundred girls who turned seven years old and were sent to girls' schools according to regulations.
"Mom, I don't want to go."
A little girl with bangs was sitting at the table, munching on a steamed bun.
"What's wrong? Sis."
The little girl didn't say anything, but just chewed the dry bread in her mouth slowly and silently.
"Drink some soup, don't choke."
The woman sighed, supported the younger one, and added another spoonful of soup to the older one.
After a while, the woman spoke.
"Going to the girls' school is the master's rule. Mother asked before, and they said that all girls in the family who are seven years old or older must go."
When she went to ask, she was regarded as ungrateful and received several cold stares from the village head.
The village head thought that the new Fan Niang only wanted to keep the children at home to work, so she looked down on her. Thinking of sending all the daughters in the family to school, he suddenly felt a little proud.
"Okay, I'll go."
The little girl buried her head and said, "Then mother, please worry more about the family. My sister is not in good health. I heard that there will be money for her studies. I will send all the money back and buy her some food to make up for her."
The girl made the decision in a few words, and Fan Niang followed suit.
This family looks more like a seven-year-old child is in charge.
When it was time to leave, Fan Niang hesitated again and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Fan Xuanyu also couldn't sleep.
"Sister, how about I go to the head of the village tomorrow to ask for help? Why don't we just stay at the village instead of going there?"
Fan Xuanyu opened his eyes wide and stared at the wooden beams of the roof.
"No need to go. You can go to the girls' school. We are all farm girls anyway. It doesn't matter. We can help each other."
Fan Xuanyu comforted the woman beside him, but she was actually unsure herself.
