Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Qian Qiansui was exhausted. It took her most of the day to visit half of the academy.

According to Manager Li, the academy expanded to an area almost half of Panshi Mountain during the reign of Emperor Taizong. After it gradually declined, successive presidents gradually closed some unused venues. Until now, the academy is less than half of its original size.

It's no wonder that Fu Zichan wants to get Panshi Academy. As long as he has this mountain in his hands, he can build a summer resort on the surface and raise as many private soldiers as he wants in secret without being easily discovered.

But this guy is a villain, and he is destined to never defeat the empress. In order to avoid being implicated by him and not losing his head inexplicably because of this scoundrel one day in the future, Qian Qiansui has to keep this academy even if he racks his brains.

"I understand the situation. Can you find a place to discuss it in detail?"

Qian Qiansui made this trip specifically to persuade these cultural figures.

Manager Li and Manager Jiang looked at each other and nodded. Even if the others were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it for the time being.

There are differences between men and women. Even though Tangguo's current customs are open and the status of women has improved, we still need to pay attention to the impact.

Qian Qiansui found an open space and had someone bring in wooden tables to form a square. She sat at the top, and the others were distributed on the other three sides. There was also brewed hot tea on the table.

In order to make it easier to identify people, Qian Qiansui also asked someone to make a simple triangular wooden sign with the identities and surnames of these people written on it.

"Well, let me say a few words first. It won't be long. Everyone is welcome to speak freely later."

Qian Qiansui coughed, drank a sip of tea, looked around, and took out a piece of paper, on which she had roughly recorded what she was thinking last night.

The whole family stood behind Qian Qiansui, and he was in a state of dreaming and not waking up. He subconsciously looked at Laishun. At this time, Laishun had already taken his dog brother to take a walk around, and seemed to be unaffected at all.

How did they go from going to Lingshan Temple to burn incense to their wives looking for a group of old masters to discuss things?

Don't these old masters always look down on women, thinking that women are virtuous if they don't have talent? Now sitting obediently opposite, with such eagerness, it's almost like he's possessed by a ghost.

"I came here with one purpose, to save our academy."

Qian Qiansui said sincerely, "Before coming here, I had a superficial understanding of our academy. It's old enough, has a long history, and has indeed cultivated many talents. It would be a great pity if it were to close like this."

"That's right, this is an academy founded during the reign of Emperor Taizong!" Manager Jiang's eyes filled with tears when he talked about this.

"but!"

Qian Qiansui paused deliberately, looked at the reactions of the people around him, and after seeing that they all looked nervous, he spoke:

"We must also face up to the shortcomings of our academy. It's far away, the educational qualifications are poor, the student population is not good, and we don't have a strong background to cultivate the top students of this dynasty."

"But……"

Qian Qiansui waved his hand, stopping the other officials who were eager to argue, and continued gently:

"I know the abilities of all the teachers, so... in order to keep Rock Academy going and even flourish, I propose! Reform the academy!"

"Reform? What do you mean by reform? Do we need to rebuild this place?

Or should we persuade children from nearby villages to come to our school?"

Manager Li is completely confused. He is currently the youngest and most intelligent teacher in the academy.

When he went to the Marquis's door to ask for an explanation that day, it was he who followed Qian Qiansui's words and eased the conflict between the academy and the Marquis, which was why he was able to wait for Qian Qiansui to come.

He originally just hoped that the lady could persuade the Marquis to delay the reconstruction of the academy and give them another chance, but the more he listened this time, the more he felt that the lady seemed to have her own ideas.

Qian Qiansui took a sip of tea and asked slowly, "What do you think is the most important thing about our academy? What is the purpose of the academy?"

"For the imperial examination! Only if the students can pass the exam and achieve fame, the academy will be famous throughout the world."

"Yes, a college is for studying. We exist to cultivate scholars all over the world."

"It is the duty of teachers to teach people to read and write. There is no harm in studying. Even if you fail the imperial examination, it will increase your knowledge. When you go out to find a job, you will have an advantage over the average person."

"Our place is just too remote. Otherwise, if we had a few more successful candidates, many people would come here to admire our reputation."

"I think there are too many vacant places. If we close a few more, we'll spend less money on maintenance. If we do more publicity, we'll always have students..."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Qian Qiansui hurriedly said loudly: "What you said is both right and wrong!"

"What can you, a weak woman living in the backyard, know... Taking imperial examinations is a man's job, you won't understand even if I tell you." Someone was hiding among the crowd and secretly made a harsh sound.

The whole family stared at the man and silently lit candles for him in their hearts.

Qian Qiansui acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He looked at the crowd that had gradually calmed down and raised a point: "Academy! The most important thing is education. In addition to exam-oriented education, there's also quality education and vocational education."

"What is an exam, what is quality, and what is a career?" Everyone was confused, and the word sounded new.

"Examination, as the name suggests, is an examination, mainly based on the imperial examination."

Qian Qiansui had already written down on paper the big picture of the education groups he had seen in his previous life. In his previous life, those famous schools were well-run, and which one did not drive up housing prices and which one did not open branches had a constant stream of students, even to the point where they had to draw lots.

"As for quality-oriented education, it's easier to understand. It's about being a good person before doing things. Even if you study well and get good grades, who can guarantee that you have good character?"

"Vocational education is specifically designed to cultivate talents needed for various production labors and teach them various professional skills."

The old teachers looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they often talked about morality, in fact, academic performance had nothing to do with being a good person.

Passing the imperial examination does not mean that one is a good official who cares about the people. Otherwise, where would the corrupt officials and treacherous officials come from?

“Being a good person is the foundation. Only with good character can one truly empathize with the people and do practical things for them, whether one is an official or a businessman in the future.

The training of various professions is not only to train them to become officials, but also to learn many survival skills, such as carpentry, blacksmithing, planting, business arithmetic, etc.

Qian Qiansui spoke eloquently about some of the imperial examination cases she had seen. After she mentioned the regretful expressions on the faces of the scholars, she said:

"We! We must use our educational methods to greatly avoid these regrets and cultivate these students who come to our academy into well-rounded talents with moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor development!"

The most valuable thing in the 21st century is talent. Qian Qiansui has already formed a development plan in his mind. The purpose of developing the academy is to cultivate talents. With talents, he can develop technological products and thus earn countless money.
