When the school registration was started the next day, a lot of people came to the entrance of Qin Xingfu School.

"Line up, don't push, we only need 300 people, don't come any more!"

Yue Xin was in charge of registration, but he could no longer control the situation. Fusu had expected that there would be many people today, but he did not expect so many people, so he asked people to quickly maintain order.

"Thank you, sir!"

Yue Xin quickly saluted.

"You're welcome. Where's your parents?"

"The master is pasting the couplets inside, please come in, young master!"

Yue Xin quickly invited Fusu in, and as soon as he entered the room, he heard Qin Xingfu's voice.

"God, go a little further to the upper right, right, right, that's it. Lingjuan, this one won't work, it's too high! Go down a little, right, right, it's right here."

Qin Xingfu was directing them to put up the couplets from below, and Yue Xin stepped forward and said.

"Sir, the young master has arrived!"

Qin Xingfu turned around and saw Fusu and saluted.

"Sir, why are you free to come here today?"

"Come and see how your school is going. These couplets are not the same as the ones you have at home."

Fusu asked.

"That's right. At home, the couplets are for the New Year, and their main function is to bring good luck. The couplets here are mainly to encourage students. Sir, your place is too messy today, and I'm afraid I can't entertain you well enough."

"It's okay, I'll look around."

"Okay, Yue Xin, you entertain the young master, you can just wander around here, Shi Ya, you go out and help with the registration."

"Here!"

Qin Xingfu continued to direct the pasting of couplets. Fusu looked at the couplets one by one, feeling very excited.

"The sound of wind, rain and reading fills my ears; I care about the affairs of my family, my country and the world."

"There are roads in the mountain of books, and hard work is the path; there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning, and hard work is the boat."

"The book has its own beauty like jade, and the book has its own golden house."

……

When Fusu walked to an open space, he saw the statue of Confucius. Fusu hurriedly saluted. When he lowered his head, he saw a few words. His pupils were shocked instantly. His brain seemed to be hit by something. Some confusion in his heart disappeared instantly. He felt as if he was suddenly enlightened, and murmured to himself.

"Unity of knowledge and action! Hahahaha... what a great unity of knowledge and action! My Great Qin will surely prosper for generations!"

Seeing his look, Yue Xin didn't disturb him and just waited on the side.

The more Fusu looked, the more interesting he found it. He then began to pay close attention to the layout of the school. When he walked to a larger classroom, Yue Xin was explaining to him.

"This is a classroom. There are two such rooms, which can accommodate 100 people and are used for large classes. There are ten smaller ones next to it. Thirty people in one classroom form a class. In the early stage, they all learn to read and write together. After that, they will take tests every two months and integrate people with different progress into one class. In this way, students will be classified according to their progress and specialties. There will be people who are good at literature, martial arts, and mathematics. This will reserve talents in all aspects for Daqin..."

Fusu thought the classroom was quite large. He glanced around to see the painting on the wooden sign in front of him. He was shocked again. Goose bumps instantly appeared all over his body and his temples were throbbing.

"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the ancient sages, and create peace for the world forever. Colorful! Colorful! Colorful! This is the meaning of reading for scholars."

These words were more effective than when Qin Xingfu beat him. He had now completely accepted the ideas she had instilled in him. His eyes were shining and he almost lost his composure.

"Huiyuan is a great scholar! Why is it just left there?"

"We are just following the adults' orders. These are the adults' intentions. They say that this is to create an educational atmosphere. Students can see this at all times during class, so that they can constantly encourage themselves and not be muddleheaded."

Fusu nodded. Yes, as he looked all the way here, he wanted to stay here and didn’t want to leave. He also longed for such an atmosphere.

"Sir, shall we continue walking?"

"Thank you!"

The two continued to stroll.

"This is the cafeteria, where students and teachers eat. Our adults asked everyone to wash the dishes and put them away after eating. They said it was to train students' self-survival ability."

"This is a bathhouse. Students are required to take a bath twice a week. The water here is hot spring water from the mountains, available all year round."

"This is a public restroom, divided into men's and women's."

"The tallest building here is the library, which is equipped with tables, chairs, books, as well as a game area and competition area."

……

In fact, Qin Xingfu's princess mansion does not occupy a large area. Qin Xingfu spent her own money to buy a lot of vacant land nearby and cleverly used every inch of space. There is a new scene at every step, and they are all interconnected. It is easy to get lost without a guide, but there are text prompts at every corner, and a strange arrow-like symbol. Yue Xin introduced the indicator arrows to help people find the direction.

There were stools in every corner, and Fusu sat down to rest when he was tired. He couldn't help but sigh that she had really wonderful ideas. He looked up and saw something and asked.

"What is that round thing? Why does it have a tail?"

Yue Xin thought for a moment and said.

"That was made by an adult. It's a lamp, uh... a biogas lamp, used for lighting. It hasn't been officially used yet. It took an adult a lot of thought. The wires and pipes are made of copper by the adult, and the outside is wrapped with very thin animal skin..."

Yue Xin knew some of them, but he couldn't explain some of them clearly, because some of them were made by the Mohist school. After Fusu took a look around, all the strange names and famous quotes had made his head dizzy, so he didn't ask any questions to get to the bottom of it.

When he heard that it was made of copper, Fusu felt that she should really save money and spend money. It was not like other academies at all. Studying here covered food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the daily expenses were a huge sum. This school was really not something that ordinary people could afford.

After visiting the school and reading Fusu, I came out and saw Qin Xingfu speaking in front of the crowd.

"Everyone, please don't crowd. If you haven't registered yet and want to learn, please go to the Daqin Library. I will arrange for someone to give lectures every three days. You can go and learn then. The library is full now and I won't accept any more people. Everyone, go away!"

"Master Qin, do we still have a chance?"

Someone asked, "Your Majesty is now recruiting officials from all over the country. I heard that many people who used to be peasants and slaves have become officials based on their abilities. This has stimulated everyone's enthusiasm and they also want to become officials. Even if they cannot become officials, it would be good to learn some skills from Qin Xingfu!"

"Yes, we recruit students every year. This year we are only recruiting 300 people as a trial. We may increase the number of places next year. You can come back then! Go back now. The sun is strong now. Take care of yourselves!"

Qin Xingfu was dazzled by the sun, his throat was sore, and sweat kept dripping down his forehead.

Many people who have registered have already gone home to pack up their children. At the beginning, most of the applicants were boys, but Qin Xingfu only gave 150 places for each boy and girl. In the end, the families who did not have girls regretted it so much that they slapped their thighs.

Those who didn’t sign up could only envy them. Only after hearing Qin Xingfu say that there was one enrollment every year did everyone go home reluctantly.

Some girls who were registered by their parents were still working at home. When they saw their parents coming back excitedly to pack their luggage, the girls were so scared that they knelt down and kowtowed.

"Yan Jun, dear mother, please don't sell us. We are not going anywhere. We will work hard at home. I will never be greedy again."

"You girl, why can't you explain yourself? I told you to learn some skills, but it was that Lord Qin who dared to scold His Majesty! I'm not selling you. If the boys' quota is full, do you think it will be your turn? You have to go, mother, tie her up with a rope. If you go too late, be careful that someone else will take your place!"

The girl seldom went out, but her mother had heard about Qin Xingfu's deeds to some extent and advised her gently.

"Hua'er, Lady Qin is a woman with great abilities. Don't be afraid! Just go obediently."

The girl was tied up while they were talking. The girl thought that her parents just wanted to sell her. She was not afraid of how Yan Jun beat and scolded her in the past, but she didn't expect that her mother would tie her up personally. She was as pale as death and just let them do whatever they wanted.

I thought that this was how I repaid them for giving birth to me.

Qin Xingfu saw that the girls were either crying or had been beaten, and some were tied up. He felt angry.

"Who told you to tie people up like this? And who told you to beat the children? Untie them all!"

The parents quickly untied their children and apologized.

"Sir, the children thought we were going to sell them and refused to leave the house. We had no choice but to do this. Please forgive us, sir!"

After hearing this explanation, Qin Xingfu's expression became better and he said to the girls.

"Don't be afraid. Your parents are not going to sell you. They are sending you to school. Just like the men over there, you can learn skills here. In the future, you can do many things and see a wider world. This was originally the princess's mansion given to me by His Majesty. I think it is useless, so I use it as a school. Here you have two sets of clothes in spring and summer, and in autumn and winter as well. You can eat and live here. Every ten days, you can go home for three days. If you are not feeling well, the school will help you find a doctor. If you don't want to come to learn skills, you can leave. I won't force you!"

When the girls heard Qin Xingfu say this, some of them wanted to go home. They looked at their parents, but were frightened by their looks and dared not speak.

"If no one leaves, Qingya, take them downstairs and wash them all, then change their clothes. I'll give you three days. If you really don't want to be here, you can go home. I'll have someone send you back, and your parents won't dare to say anything."

Qingya felt unhappy when she saw this group of people looking unhappy. Her parents had worked so hard to spend money to run the school, but these people were really ungrateful.

After Qin Xingfu left, Qingya said to a group of people.

"I will be responsible for your daily life and teaching from now on. Don't look reluctant. The adults can only recruit men when running a school, but why are there half men and half women? It's because she thinks it's hard for us women to survive. If I were you, I would be very happy to have someone teach me skills at your age. But we are slaves, not so lucky. Later, we met adults and were able to read and write, and live like human beings. Don't be ungrateful."

These words frightened the girls so much that they dared not say anything and kept their heads down.

"Lift your head up. The first thing you need to do today is to hold your head high and hold your chest out! Everyone stand up straight and follow me!"

A bunch of stinky little girls, eh, was she like this in the beginning? The adults seemed to care whether they took a bath or not, and now she was unwilling to deal with stinky people.

Qingya touched her arm and came to the bathhouse. She divided the people into groups, with ten people in each group going in to take a bath. After taking a bath, she asked them to put away their old clothes and then asked Shishu to take them to the dormitory to arrange accommodation.

"You guys should get familiar with your roommates first, and then go to the cafeteria to eat after everyone is settled. This is where you wash clothes. You can use this to wash clothes, and then put them over there to dry. Do you understand?"

Some of the older ones nodded and said.

"Understood!"

Shishu went back and forth making arrangements like this. After everything was done, Shishu and Qingya took people to the cafeteria to line up for food. Today's meal was multi-grain porridge with potatoes and stewed chicken nuggets. The fragrance could be smelled from far away.

"Just like before, start lining up. This is the bowl for eating. Take it from here and go over there to get food, then go over there to eat."

Qingya's voice was a little hoarse, but she still made arrangements. They started to eat only after everyone had eaten.

"I'm so tired! No wonder the adults said running a school is not an easy task. Lingjuan, why do you look so bad?"

Shishu asked with concern, Lingjuan shook her head. She was too tired to talk and buried her head in her meal.

"Shishu, please eat quickly. You still have to guide people to get familiar with the school later."

Qingya didn't want to talk either. Qin Xingfu came last. She brought her own bowl to eat with Qingya and the others. After the meal, the others sat quietly and watched Qin Xingfu eat in amazement. They saw her eat bowl after bowl until she was satisfied.

"Come here and wash the dishes. Wash them and put them here!"

Wanda was assigned to come here. Today, he had to prepare meals for hundreds of people at once. He was almost overwhelmed. Fortunately, the chefs who had built the house before were kept and could help him.

Qin Xingfu and others took the lead in washing the dishes, and Wanda put away her bowl.

"Wanda, you have to work hard. From now on, the salary here will be the same as in the mansion. You will receive double the salary, three meals a day. Don't forget it!"

"Don't worry, sir. We will do our best."

Wanda was eager to do it himself. In the mansion, he had to listen to Ding Zhao, but now he has the final say here and others follow his arrangements.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard. I'll give you more wages this month. Qingya, Shishu, take the people shopping! Lingjuan, follow me."

"Here!"

Shi Shu and Qing Ya took people to familiarize themselves with various places. Qin Xingfu returned to his room, looked at Ling Juan, and said with a smile.

"What? Are you tired?"

Lingjuan nodded and drank some water before slowly coming to his senses.

"Sir, I made the wrong choice before. Bathing more than a hundred little girls is really exhausting. My throat is so sore. Some of the children had to be bathed several times before they were clean. There were also bugs. Eh..."

As Lingjuan spoke, he began to get goose bumps all over his body.

"My Lord, do you have any instructions? If not, I'm going to go back and take a shower."

"Look at you, go back first! Let's teach these kids about personal hygiene in the first few days, and we'll take care of the rest later!"

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower then."

Ling Juan was afraid that he would also be infested with bugs, so he hurried to wash up. Qin Xingfu was also sweating from exhaustion today, so he hurried back to his bedroom to take a shower.
