Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

Chapter 141 Education (Part )

Being drunk wasn't a pleasant experience, she was just too nervous that things wouldn't work out and that she couldn't keep the person.

But in fact, she doesn't need this kind of pressure mentality to run a business in the 21st century.

In the Ming Dynasty, she belonged to the ruling class and had absolute authority over these people.

She hasn't fully assimilated yet.

"Qingqing, you take this matter too seriously." Lin Yiqing didn't want her to lower herself so much for a city.

Everyone has his or her own burdens. Being the head of a family is happy, but it doesn’t mean you will be happy being the head of a city.

Lin Yiqing felt sorry for her, and Xu Siyu understood it, so she quickly agreed with a "hmm".

She didn't want to get drunk either, but when it comes to alcohol, after one or two sips, your mind is still the deciding factor, but after that, it's your nerves that are completely controlled by the alcohol.

In the end, he was so drunk that he almost hugged his head and cried and complained to a group of middle-aged men. It was really the behavior of a drunkard and it was so embarrassing.

The lord of a city, the earl of a country, well, even if she is an open-minded modern person, she doesn't think this is appropriate.

This drink loosened Xu Siyu's obsession. She didn't want to achieve success overnight, nor did she set high standards.

Compared to the Literature School, Xu Siyu was much more relaxed in preparing the Martial Arts School - the Lewu School.

Once the arena was set up, Master Wu selected five people and recruited several retired sergeants from the Guangshun border army. They learned and guarded the newly built three-story East City Gate.

In addition to Wenwu, Huimin Pharmacy opened Hui Medical College, and Innovation Workshop opened Gewu College... They all developed slowly based on their existing foundations. Finally, Lezhou City's education project slowly followed the track set by Xu Siyu.

At daybreak on South Street, a sixteen-year-old boy was hurriedly heading in the opposite direction to the small shed, unlike those who were rushing to get up early or to go to work.

He was Qiu Si, who went to the morning market entrance of Lezhou Wharf early in the morning to wait. That was the place designated by the city lord to post jobs. He had previously found a good job repairing Fuzi Lane, and worked for a full month, earning three months' worth of food for his family.

I'm going to see if I can get some odd jobs today.

Passing by the south city gate, Qiu Si saw the city lord's new enrollment decree. He stopped to see that it was a great opportunity to study or work for free, so he quickly turned back home to spread the news.

It's not difficult to bump into people while running.

"Oh, Qiu Si, you're so full you're going to die!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Qiu Si apologized, but he still ran forward without looking back until he reached the rotten wooden door of the Qiu family. He pushed the door open without any effort.

"Dad! Mom!" Qiu Si shouted at the top of his voice, hoping that his family members had not yet gone to work.

"What's the matter, Xiao Si?"

Mother Qiu from the stove came out first to respond to her youngest son, and then people from all over the shed gathered in the middle.

"Dad!" Qiu Si walked towards the old man with a crutch who came out from the inner room.

He said anxiously, "City Lord... The City Lord is running a school. It's free. Anyone aged six to fifteen, male or female, is welcome..."

Qiu Si spoke excitedly, out of breath, but he was sixteen years old and this matter would not happen to him.

He wanted to visit his two nieces.

"Is it possible for a girl to study?" Mrs. Qiu asked with some hope but uncertainty, carrying one-year-old Qiu Sanniang on her back.

Father Qiu coughed twice and said, "The crown prince is also a woman, the city lord is a woman, and now you want to bring a woman to make trouble?"

As soon as Mr. Qiu's unkind voice came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Qiu Si also calmed down from his previous ecstasy.

Yes, his father attaches great importance to etiquette. Men should stay outside and women should stay inside, men should farm and women should weave, and everything should follow the rules.

The Qiu family was convicted for fifteen years. The eldest brother and his wife, as well as the second brother and his wife, all suffered, leaving behind only two nieces.

My third brother is in poor health and cannot do heavy work. In the past two years, he and his third sister-in-law, who has cut off all ties with him, have been living together and have a niece.

After leaving the labor camp, I volunteered at Huimin Pharmacy every day to exchange some medicine for it.

There are only girls in the family, and the only way to change her life is to get married. But the city lord gave the girls a chance, so Qiu Si still wanted to give it a try.

"Dad, the city lord has restored our status as good citizens. Yuanniang and Erniang are of the right age... All schools and colleges are free to enroll students, and food, accommodation, and tuition are all included..." Qiu Si was still afraid that his father would be angry, so he spoke with a lack of confidence.

People may feel uncomfortable when hearing about boys and girls attending the same school, but since they had come out of the labor camps and had worked without any scruples for more than a decade, they only had a tiny idea of gender segregation left.

The women of the Qiu family heard that they could learn skills for free and might even get a job...

But the women didn't dare to express their opinions. They just looked at Father Qiu and waited for his decision.

Father Qiu turned around and looked at his eldest and second granddaughters who were holding brooms. They had thin and weak bodies, tattered clothes, and only their eyes still had some spirit.

The surviving young descendants of the Qiu family are all girls, perhaps it is fate.

Father Qiu looked up at the roof of the densely built thatched shed. He couldn't see the sky, but a few rays of light were leaking through the cracks in the shed.

Father Qiu nodded and said calmly, "Let the world turn upside down. As long as the sky doesn't fall, we have to live. Xiao Si, find a way to expand the content of the entrance examination. This month, we will try to enlighten Yuanniang and Erniang."

Qiu's father also served as a recorder in the Ministry of Works. Although his position was not high, he was also a serious scholar who entered the officialdom after passing the imperial examination.

He knew that they were not the only family that wanted this opportunity. All the people living in Lane 13 of South Street were families similar to theirs. Who didn't have children and didn't want to change their destiny?

Your life has hit rock bottom, and you still care whether it's a boy or a girl who leads the family?

What's more, food and accommodation are provided, which means that the child will be raised for free for three years, which is worth doing.

With Mr. Qiu's change of heart, the Qiu family moved faster.

In Lezhou City, similar families were also digesting the city lord's order and asking their children of appropriate age to prepare.

Enrollment began in October, and on the first day, almost all Lezhou people came out.

Xu Siyu stood on the high platform of the City Lord's Mansion, looking through a telescope at the four streets and the East City Gate, all of which were crowded with people. She was quite surprised. It was rare to see such a lively side of Lezhou City.

Standing next to her was Master Du, who had moved to the City Lord's Mansion last month.

Xu Siyu generously contributed a pair of telescopes to Master Du who came to "take refuge" with her, so that he could stop his old age and blurred vision and the accusation that he was "abandoned" by Xu Siyu.

After these basic and technical colleges have recruited students, Xu Siyu will start the management college she opened in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

The threshold for admission to the School of Management is relatively high. After all, it is to cultivate its think tank and administrative organization. When Master Du comes, he will be the dean, and household taxation, law, and domestic and foreign affairs will become the main courses of this school.

It was Master Du who found the teachers for this academy.

When Xu Siyu was looking for a teacher everywhere, Master Du came to Lezhou alone with two bags, picked up a pen and called a few families to come for her.
