Never divorce, never stop getting rich

The teachers looked at each other in confusion. Although they could roughly understand what was said, it seemed to make sense.

But when I think about it more carefully, I feel like there seems to be something wrong.

Since the founding of the Tang Kingdom, and even in the previous dynasties, the content of the imperial examinations has always been poetry, songs, policy questions, debates, classics, etc.

I have never heard that the imperial examination system would care about the physical condition of students. The most they really need is to teach students how to read people's expressions, how to debate, and how to analyze current affairs.

To put it bluntly, it is all about pleasing the upper class. As long as you meet the examiner's expectations, your score will naturally be high.

"Most of the time is spent on useless work. How can students have time to review lessons and answer exams?

In ancient times, people would study hard to prepare for the imperial examinations, for fear of wasting even a little time.

Now, in our academy, instead of studying hard all day, you have to learn all sorts of other things and exercise every day. What’s the difference between this and playing?”

Among the crowd, some people were discussing in low voices.

Qian Qiansui could understand these people's thoughts very well. After all, the duty of ancient academies was to cultivate talents for the imperial examinations, and their daily task was to study, study, and study again.

Not to mention extracurricular activities, even physical fitness gradually deteriorates due to long-term sitting, otherwise how could there be the term "weak scholar".

But understanding does not mean agreement. First of all, Qian Qiansui was not planning to actually open an academy dedicated to the imperial examinations.

The idea she came up with was actually closer to the training classes or private schools of her time.

Since the task issued by the system is to make a profit, her academy must have commercial value, otherwise it will definitely not pass the judgment.

However, with the teachers of Panshi Academy, its geographical location, and the secret pursuit and blockade by the staff of the Marquis' Mansion, this academy will definitely not be able to recruit students who really want to take the imperial examinations.

At least it is impossible in the early stages.

Instead of competing with other academies for this single-plank bridge, it is better to find another way and start from other places. After all, it is normal for people to fail the imperial examination, and those who pass are rare.

It is difficult to find good students, but there are many wealthy second-generation rich people in Beijing, and she had taken a fancy to one of them before.

"It's a good combination of work and rest. Besides, our academy shouldn't be limited to the imperial examinations. The way of education is to benefit all people and enable more people to learn to read and write.

Even if they do not have the talent to pass the imperial examinations, they can learn a skill and make a living in the future whether they are officials or civilians.

If we can teach students in accordance with their aptitude and discover talented people, even if they do not pass the imperial examinations, they can still serve the country.

Why can’t these people be given a chance?”

Qian Qiansui stood up and said sincerely, "The academy we want is one that is inclusive, equal, and can discover the shining points of students."

"From what I hear, it seems like a very high-sounding argument! But when you think about it, it's terrifying!

I really can't help it. It sounds nice, but it's just an unrealistic idea, but you want so many of us to play house with you.

I even suspect that you are pretending to help us, but are really trying to disrupt the century-old tradition of the academy. By doing this, you will destroy the reputation we have accumulated for a hundred years!

Let us no longer recruit new students, so that the academy will close down, and you can naturally take it back and turn it into the summer resort you want!"

The table was slammed, and a middle-aged scholar stood up with a look of indignation on his face.

"Exactly. I think so too. I almost got tricked by her. I think she's not here to help us at all. She's just a delaying tactic. Don't be fooled."

Behind the middle-aged scholar appeared a few younger teachers, who gathered behind him and shouted in dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, the whole family came over and whispered, "Madam, this doesn't look right. Should we leave first?"

Qian Qiansui not only did not leave, but sat down and looked at this group of people. She knew that a suspicious person like Fu Zichan could not have a backup plan.

He had wanted to reform this academy for a long time, so it was not surprising that someone from their group had infiltrated the academy.

"Is this what you want to say?" Qian Qiansui's smile gradually faded, and he tapped the teacup with his fingers again and again.

Manager Li held back Manager Jiang who wanted to defend those teachers, and at the same time held down several older scholars around him, and stayed quietly aside, trying his best to draw a clear line between himself and those people around him.

"The academy cannot be changed, nor can it be stopped. The Marquis' Mansion must give us an explanation!"

"Right! Why should we change our academy? Our academy has a history of a hundred years. We can't change it. We absolutely can't change it!"

"can!"

Qian Qiansui looked calmly at the people who stood up, and the smile disappeared from his lips: "If you don't want to make changes, I won't force you."

"You...what do you want?" The middle-aged teacher began to panic.

Qian Qiansui spread his hands and said very rationally without any personal emotion:

"Since everyone has different philosophies and is unable to tolerate or compromise with each other, then... I have no choice but to ask everyone to seek better opportunities."

"you dare!"

The middle-aged teacher was shocked. He originally just wanted to fight for some say in the academy. In his opinion, the lady was just a woman.

Even if he had any ideas, they were all told to him by the Marquis in advance. As long as he was tougher and had his own ideas, the Marquis might look at him with admiration.

Let him leave an impression in the Marquis' mind that he is not afraid of power and does not follow the crowd.

Even if he offended the lady, the one in power was the Marquis, so this woman was nothing to be afraid of.

But he never thought that this woman could actually take the initiative to make him leave the academy! This was almost like killing him.

If there were other academies willing to accept him, he wouldn't have stayed until now. Besides, if he wasn't a teacher, what else could he do?

He simply couldn't bring himself to do those physical jobs.

"Your contract is almost due to expire. At worst, I can give you some money, but I can't let you ruin the academy's bright future.

In education, the most formidable thing is a lack of unity in ambition. While we can seek common ground while reserving differences in educational methods, the purpose and direction of education must never be changed overnight. I hope everyone understands this principle."

Qian Qiansui said this to other people. She knew that there were many people in this academy who disagreed with her. Instead of forcing them to part ways amicably, it would be better to avoid an embarrassing falling out in the future.

The middle-aged teacher wanted to argue a few more times, but was suddenly pushed aside. A teacher who usually looked inconspicuous suddenly shouted:

"We want to see the Marquis! It must be you, a woman, who falsely conveyed the Marquis's orders! We want a fair chance to negotiate with the Marquis!"

The academy is a place of saints and sages, how can we allow a woman like you to interfere? Don't think that we will be afraid of you just because you are a lady. A woman's duty is to support her husband and raise her children. How can you come to the academy to interfere?

Otherwise, if you turn against each other and do things against the will of heaven, what rules will remain in this world? The academy is a pure land for us scholars, how can we allow people like you to interfere! "

Is this about to take action?
