The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

"Thank you, sir." Xiao Yan bowed again and saluted respectfully.

The scholars exchanged a glance and continued, "Please tell Miss Jiang that you shouldn't rush into anything. Studying is studying, and the imperial examination is the imperial examination. Even if a woman studies, she can't take the imperial examination for now. But if one day you hold a high position, perhaps it will become possible."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then bowed deeply: "Thank you, sir."

The Wen gentlemen were very pleased and said, "Go ahead."

Xiao Yan went to learn military tactics from Mr. Wu Ji Wei before returning home.

Jiang Ningning was also shocked when she learned what Mr. Wen asked her to convey.

These gentlemen were actually able to see their ultimate intention and were very respectful.

This is what a true teacher and educator is. Even if they were born and raised in a world where men are superior to women, they can respect everyone, regardless of whether they are men or women.

She also knew that changing the status of women should not be rushed and should be done slowly.

So what she is thinking now is to let all the girls in the Xiao family go to school first.

Jiang Ningning naturally had an even greater respect for these gentlemen.

Two days later, Mr. Wen told Xiao Yan that the other party had agreed.

It was said that there were three gentlemen in total, all of whom agreed and were willing to be hired by their Jiang Xiao Academy.

One is surnamed Ni, one is surnamed Tang, and one is surnamed Ruan.

Both Ni and Tang were scholars with high academic titles, and were classmates and friends of Mr. Wen. Naturally, there was nothing wrong with their character.

The man surnamed Ruan is a student and a good friend of Mr. Wen and his friends. Naturally, he is about the same age as Mr. Wen and his friends.

This old student had very good knowledge and character, but something happened at home when he was taking the exam for the scholar degree, so he never took it again. In addition, his ambition was not to take the imperial examination, so he remained a student forever.

Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning were both extremely surprised. They didn't expect that Mr. Wen could help them find such a good man.

What's more, scholars are qualified to open schools, but Mr. Ni and Mr. Tang do not open their own schools and are willing to teach in a primary school in the village.

When Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning went to visit these three gentlemen in person, they found out that the three gentlemen were very picky. Even though Honghu Academy had invited them many times, they had never thought of entering the academy. In addition, they were getting old and had grandchildren, so they simply enjoyed their leisure time at home.

Originally, Mr. Wen and his team told them that Jiang Xiao Academy wanted to hire them, but they initially refused.

But when they heard Mr. Wen and others say that Jiang Xiao School was actually going to accept female students, they were stunned for a long time before they understood why Mr. Wen and others were willing to find them for a village primary school.

Isn't this just asking them to lend a helping hand to Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning?

It just so happened that they had been idle for a long time, and they were not the type to be content with what they had and loved to break the rules, so all three of them agreed.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan only then realized how much Mr. Wen and his team valued this matter, and they were naturally even more grateful.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan also bowed deeply to the three gentlemen in front of them.

Like Mr. Wen and the others, they all saw that Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan were going to do something big, so the three of them hurriedly and solemnly returned the greeting.

Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan left after they agreed that he would officially become a teacher at Jiang Xiao School on the first day of next month.

Mr. Ni, Mr. Tang, and Mr. Ruan all smiled and nodded when they saw Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan leave: "Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person."

With that kind of conversation and those insights, it is no exaggeration to say that they have beaten these old waves to death on the beach.

Mr. Ruan even laughed and said, "To be frank, there might be a brand new Da Yan in the near future."

Mr. Ni and Mr. Tang both smiled and said, "Let's wait and see."

……

After hiring a teacher to teach literature, Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan went on to hire someone with some skills to be a martial arts teacher in the school.

It’s not that we really want the children to learn martial arts, but just learn the basics as a physical education class to strengthen their bodies.

In fact, every time Dayan holds an exam, too many students are carried out of the exam room because of their poor physical condition.

We must pay special attention to this matter.

Mr. Wu’s surname is Xia.

……

Before we knew it, it was August 24th, the day when Jiang Xiao Academy was completely completed.

On the day the house was completed, Jiang Ningning invited all the members of the Xiao family to the house.

Standing in one of the large classrooms in this house.

"You are all wondering why I built this house. Now I can tell you that it is used as a school. I have already hired the civil and military teachers, and they will come to the school to teach on the first day of next month.

The row of houses with independent courtyards at the back are for the gentlemen to live in,” Jiang Ningning said.

"Ah, are you going to open a school?!" The Xiao family was immediately in an uproar. They didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.

Their lives are better now, and they have a soy product workshop that is making money. Naturally, they all want their children to go to school.

However, they originally thought that Xiao Yan would continue to take the imperial examinations, and would not open a school unless he failed to achieve a higher rank.

I didn’t expect that school would start so soon!

Especially the clan leader Xiao Fuhua, his mood suddenly became overwhelmed.

You know, he just dreamed of having a school so that all the children of the Xiao family could go to school.

Knowing that if the clan wants to develop, it cannot rely solely on Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning, but other people in the clan must also stand up.

"Yes." Jiang Ningning nodded with a smile, "But it's not under Xiao Yan's name, so it's not run by Xiao Yan. It's called Jiang Xiao Academy. Children of the Xiao family and my relatives don't have to pay any fees to study at this academy. But for students with good character and academic performance, Xiao Yan will recommend and guarantee them so that they can directly participate in the imperial examinations."

This is no different from a school recognized by the government. If you study well, you can take the imperial examination.

only--

"How can you not pay any fees?!" Xiao Fuhua and the others were anxious. "Studying is expensive. The teachers' tuition is expensive, as are the pens, ink, paper, and books. And building such a large building must have cost a lot of money, and then there's the daily maintenance and management of the academy, and so on. No, no, we have to pay you back!"

"No need for that. The clan should help each other." Jiang Ningning said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." The four members of the Tian family also said hurriedly.

Although Sun and Jiang Shengcai were not members of the Xiao clan, they were present at the moment. Since they were engaged and had such a good relationship, they were naturally no different from members of the clan.

The tribe members still disagreed and wanted to raise money.

Jiang Ningning smiled and said, "I think those big families all prosper together and suffer together. If that's the case, you guys are getting better and better, which can be considered as repaying me."

The Xiao family's eyes were all red with anger. They naturally knew this.

But it was clear that they had always been the beneficiaries and had not paid anything.
