Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte

In the next half month, everyone found what they should do.

Song Jinshu was busy managing the affairs of the technical training academy and the county school.

The rest were busy opening shops, building family businesses, and taking care of crops in the fields.

In running the academy and the county school, Song Jinshu encountered many pitfalls, so she could only write to Xiang An to ask for advice.

He provided all the information to Xiang An without reservation and even sent the principal of their county school to direct the work.

Song Jinshu was deeply moved and promised to sell the grain seeds he got after the autumn harvest this year to Xiang An first.

And they will also send special people to teach them how to farm.

The two county magistrates visited each other, and within just three months, Song Jinshu founded two academies in the county.

One is the county school where students study for the imperial examinations, and the other is a technical training academy where students are taught various skills.

Now Ranchu has basically formulated the development plan for the technical training academy, and she has also recruited many skilled craftsmen to serve as teachers in the academy.

Song brocade calligraphy can almost be left to develop.

The county school gave her a headache. In the previous Songyun Academy admission examination, she had basically figured out the abilities of the students in Jingyang County.

The ten best among them were sent to Songjun Academy, and the rest were not qualified to be teachers.

That day, she held her forehead and thought hard, wondering whether she should play the victim to Shun'an Prefecture and ask the Liang County Magistrate to assign her a few teachers.

After all, if she founded a county school here, it would be considered an achievement in the annual assessment of the Liang County Magistrate.

She did what she said, and with just two strokes, a letter of pity was ready.

After waiting for a few days, the governor of Liang finally wrote back to her and promised to look for it for her.

Song Jinshu did not sit idly by and posted a recruitment notice himself, which made the students excited again.

They had long heard that Song Jinshu was running a county school and was looking for a teacher recently, so everyone had expectations in their hearts.

Although they had not achieved any fame, they considered themselves well educated and finally waited for the recruitment notice to be posted.

Nine out of ten people were persuaded to withdraw on the first day, and the remaining one was politely rejected in public.

The first rule is that the teachers who teach children must be from a Juren family, and the living and logistics staff must also be from a Xiucai family.

Even the gatekeepers had to be able to read and write, which was an absurdly high requirement.

But no one dared to question it, because the treatment Song Jinshu gave was ridiculously good.

Once hired, you can teach for life. Not only will you receive five taels of silver every month, but you will also receive an annual bonus after being evaluated for excellence.

And all children can go to the county school unconditionally...

As well as two sets of clothes each for spring, summer, autumn and winter every year, there are additional prizes given away during festivals.

In addition, there is another path that countless students yearn for.

It states that if a student is admitted to the county and is determined by the school to be eligible to sit for the imperial examination, their travel expenses will be reimbursed, and they will also receive an encouragement award if they pass the exam.

You should know that every time a student takes the imperial examination, it costs a huge amount of money, and some families even sell their land to raise enough money for the students to take the exam.

Now, as long as you get into the county school, you can save the huge travel expenses.

Other people have to pay to study in county schools, but only in Jingyang County, it’s free and they even get paid!

Of course, the premise of all this is that you are good enough and stand high enough.

Merchants from other places who came to Jingyang County to do business also saw the notice and immediately wrote a letter home to inform the public.

No matter how educated your children are, be sure to let them come and give it a try.

In Guangrao County.

Among them was a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance, about 40 years old, who was strolling on the street with his wife.

When they were tired from walking, they sat down at a tea stall on the street to drink tea.

Next to them were the merchants who were rushing back to Guangrao County from Jingyang County.

He was sharing his experience with his friend with great interest: "I was shocked when I saw it. How could there be such a college that pays for itself?"

"I thought someone was deliberately spreading rumors, but who would have thought that the magistrate of Jingyang County, Lord Song, would actually publicly declare that they only wanted scholars who were Jinshi graduates... and that they wouldn't hire anyone who didn't meet any of the requirements..."

The merchant's friend hissed and frowned, saying, "The Jingyang County Magistrate is so arrogant! How could a scholar like him be willing to teach in her remote and impoverished village?"

The businessman glanced at his friend with a smile and said, "You don't know, her conditions are quite good..."

Then the businessman listed a few more conditions, and his friend remained silent. He said that he had spoken a little loudly just now, and he apologized!

The magistrate of Jingyang County is truly remarkable!

Although he could barely read or write, he also wanted to try to take the entrance exam for the county school in Jingyang County.

The middle-aged man was drinking tea on the surface, but in fact his ears were always focused on the sounds from the next table.

The beautiful lady beside the man suddenly laughed and said, "This Mr. Song is quite interesting. I have never heard of such a thing. How about we go over and take a look, my husband?"

The man smiled and nodded: "Madam has the final say!"

In fact, he is also very curious!

Two days later, Song Jinshu welcomed two guests.

Song Jinshu was immediately impressed when they met for the first time. This couple definitely had something special.

"Please come in, gentlemen!" Song Jinshu respectfully greeted the two and led them to the reception room.

Ever since she met Song Jinshu, Hao Qiulan has been keeping an eye on her. Although she is a woman, she is no worse than a man. She likes her!

Xiao Jianqing also looked at Song Jinshu in surprise. He had read the recruitment notice.

I have always been curious about the person who came up with this idea, and even imagined what kind of handsome man he was. I didn't expect it to be this young girl who looked quite young.

"Sir Song, is the job posting outside the county government office real?"

Song Jinshu smiled slightly, understanding the situation. "Yes! This gentleman is also here to apply for a job! I think you've seen the requirements listed above. Since you dare to come, you must meet the requirements."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jianqing laughed heartily. "Lord Song is intelligent. To be honest, I was once a Jinshi (Jinshi) and entered the government, but after a few years I grew tired of serving as an official, so I retired and returned home. In the past few years, I've been traveling around with my wife. I heard you found the recruitment notice interesting, so I came here."

"We've been tired these past few years and are looking for a beautiful place to settle down..."

A hint of joy flashed in Song Jinshu's eyes. Perhaps she was really lucky to meet a scholar who had passed the imperial examination and had rich experience in studying abroad!

"I don't know what to call Mr. and Mrs.?"

"My surname is Xiao, and my given name is Jianqing."

"My name is Hao Qiulan, and I'm also here to apply for the position of teacher." Hao Qiulan curled his lips and smiled.

Song Jinshu looked indifferent and did not look down on her because she was a woman, which left a good impression on Hao Qiulan.

"Mr. Hao, Mr. Xiao, please leave your calligraphy and accommodation address. If you don't have an address, you can directly stay in the teacher's dormitory in the county school."

"In three days, we will create your own teacher ID cards. With these cards, you can enter and exit the county school and the technical training academy at will."

When they first arrived in Jingyang County, they were worried about where to rent a house to live temporarily. They didn't expect that there was a teacher's dormitory in the county school.

Hao Qiulan glanced at Xiao Jianqing, smiled and said to Song Jinshu: "This is convenient for us, let's live in the teacher's dormitory!"

Song Jinshu smiled and nodded: "Okay! I'll have someone take you there right away!"

After a few seconds of pausing, she continued, "Mr. Hao, one month after the county school officially opens, not only will students take exams to be divided into classes, but teachers will also need to take exams to compete for higher ratings."

"The position of instructor in our county school is still vacant. You two gentlemen can try your best to compete. I believe that with your knowledge, you will not lose to others."

If you count carefully, the highest-ranking scholar among those who passed her interviews was a successful juren, and there was no one above that.

To be a county school instructor, one must not only be knowledgeable, but also know how to command subordinates. The two people in front of him are obviously more competitive than others.

Naturally, she needs to be promoted more and her Jingyang County School will continue to shine.

Maybe by then, the top students of Songjun Academy will also want to come to her small county school?

Xiao Jianqing's eyes lit up. He didn't like official disputes, and it would be worth his life if he could teach the students.

"Thank you, Lord Song! My wife and I will try our best."

Song Jinshu smiled and asked someone to take them to the county school.

She took the two people's calligraphy and asked someone to go to Wenquan Town to find Mr. Ma to carve an identity token.

Having won two more gentlemen, Song Jinshu happily shook his head and hummed a melody.

Liu Zhiyuan asked in surprise, "What are you so happy about?"

Song Jinshu looked up and saw that it was Liu Zhiyuan. He asked happily, "Uncle, why are you here?"

"Shu'er, I heard that you want Brother Lu to go out and find cotton seeds for you?" Liu Zhiyuan asked with a smile, with no concealment of the expectation in his eyes.

Song Jinshu immediately understood why he came: "Yes! Uncle, do you want to go with him?"

Liu Zhiyuan nodded. "You know me. I always like to travel around looking for new things. Over the years, I have formed a small caravan. They heard that I was in Jingyang County, so they followed me here recently."

"I also hope to continue doing my old business with them, and leave the family business to my second brother and Yue'er. Their abilities are better than mine."

"When the time comes, I'll go out specifically to look for new items, and by the way, I'll also set up a small shop in another prefecture as a base. If you continue to be promoted in the future, it will be much smoother with your own information network."

He had discussed this matter with Old Man Liu and Liu Zhile. They not only wanted to expand and improve their own business, but also to establish their own network of contacts in various provincial capitals.

In the future, if there are any unusual movements in other places, they will be able to send a message to Song Jinshu immediately to be on guard.

Song Jinshu paused, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. In this era without the Internet, information asymmetry is fatal.

If she is not careful, she may lose everything. Although she knows everything and can listen to the court meetings from time to time, she doesn't know anything more.

We can only roughly grasp the direction of the court and avoid stepping on landmines.

Now that Liu Zhiyuan had brought it up himself, she couldn't have asked for more. "Uncle, I support you! I have a few product recipes here that I was about to give to Yue'er for research. You've come just in time, why not take them back? Once Yue'er finishes them, I'll definitely take them out to sell, how about that?"

Song Jinshu took out four or five prescriptions from the box. These were the gifts she had randomly drawn during this period of time, and they were all prescriptions.

She put them all together and took out a few recipes suitable for buying and selling, ready to give them to the Liu family for business.

"Oh? What good stuff is this?" Liu Zhiyuan took out a prescription and looked at it curiously.

On the method of extracting seven-color dyes...the preparation of top-quality spices...how to make ice in summer...rice wine recipe...

"Hiss... this, this, this... Yue'er, what are you doing?"

Song Jinshu raised an eyebrow and smiled helplessly: "Why? Uncle doesn't like it? Or does he just look down on it?"

"Tsk! Kid, these things are too valuable. I absolutely cannot accept them! You should take them back!"

Liu Zhiyuan frowned and refused to accept it. As a businessman, he naturally knew that once these things were made, the profits would be immeasurable.

If someone else gave it to him, he would have spent all his money to buy it, but Song Jinshu was his niece, how could he possibly cheat her?

"Uncle, I understand what you mean, but don't you think about my status? Although our dynasty doesn't have many restrictions on merchants, the court's laws clearly stipulate that officials cannot compete with the people for profit, and they cannot use the name of the government to expand trade routes!"

"These prescriptions are just useless in my hands. You are my family. Of course I have to give you priority when I have good things."

Liu Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, sighed, and looked at Song Jinshu sincerely: "Then I will accept it, but there is one thing I must make clear. This recipe will always be yours, and you must keep half of the profits from these things in the future!"

"We must cover the cost, and I promise you that this recipe is known only to Yue'er and me. If you want to take it back in the future, we will definitely not keep it for ourselves."

Song Jinshu knew that her uncle was an honest man, so she planned to give him the recipe and not take it back.

And every item in here can improve people's lives.

It can also boost the economy of Jingyang County or the entire country, and people can live a better life.

And she can also profit from it, isn't that wonderful?

"Okay! It's the height of summer now, and the weather is scorching hot. I plan to wait until the temperature starts to drop and it's cooler before letting Lu Chuan take people out to look for cotton."

"There are still one or two months left. Uncle, you can work with Yue'er to research and make it as soon as possible. When you go out with Lu Chuan, you can take these things and sell them all over the country."

Liu Zhiyuan couldn't stop smiling, nodded immediately, and then went out with the precious prescription in his pocket.

Song Jinshu laughed helplessly and continued to outline the things in his hand.

She plans to compile a livelihood handbook, recording methods of growing rice, fruits and vegetables in the form of drawings.

Now Ranchu has run the technical training school successfully, but because most of the craftsmen who teach have no teaching experience, the students only have a vague understanding of what they learn.

She plans to teach all aspects of the livelihood manual at the technical training academy after she has finished compiling it.

If it works, ask other craftsmen and teachers to draw one as well.

Let students learn theoretical knowledge first, and then let them concentrate on learning a certain skill based on each person's strengths.

Ten days passed in a flash and the weather became hotter.

That day, Liu Jiangyue happily brought a plate of ice to the county government office.

He attracted countless people's attention along the way, including the gatekeepers.

"Miss Liu, is this the ice you stored last winter? It's surprisingly well preserved!"

Li Zi gave Liu Jiangyue a thumbs-up in admiration.
