Chapter 147 School Opening
After Song Xi officially took over Qin Xi's government and military affairs, he was often busy all night long.
Proficiency in doing things needs to be accumulated over time and cannot be transformed overnight. Therefore, he will actively enrich himself after office work and conduct in-depth study of the books donated by Yu Yalan.
In the past, I only learned the Four Books and Five Classics and basic military strategies. I had never had such a systematic study of military and political affairs. I felt that I benefited a lot from practicing it, and gradually developed a lot of interest and love.
No one knew that Song Xi was actually extremely talented and was making rapid progress in both civil and martial arts.
Even the princes who were carefully trained by the concubines and courtiers are now no longer as good as him.
Just wait for the day when you can hide in the Dragon Abyss, and you will surrender in troubled times!
Her fiancé was working hard, and Yu Yalan naturally did not sit back and enjoy the success, but was busy with her original career.
The gentlemen of Shuguang Hall have completed the training, and miraculously all passed the month-end assessment. Yu Yalan was very satisfied with this and immediately began to determine the relevant rules and regulations.
Shuguang Hall is the only free school in Dazhou, and currently only offers full enrollment to Yanzhou Prefecture.
Yu Yalan will waive tuition and miscellaneous fees for children attending school, but the families of the students need to pay for their room and board.
Because we are still in a disaster year, the people have an extraordinary obsession with food and supplies. Even if Yanzhou has been receiving her strong support, the shortage of supplies has only been alleviated rather than improved.
If the school also waives the board and lodging fees, I'm afraid it will lead to many unexpected calculations and accidents. After all, materials are the most jealous and crazy things at present, and Yu Yalan cannot rashly challenge such risks.
School admissions will not deliberately focus on students' conditions. As long as they can pass the character test of the Soul Discerning Bracelet, any child can enroll directly.
If you encounter poor orphans who have no relatives to rely on, the Salesian Home will be responsible for taking care of their food and daily life. Students with healthy families can consider their own circumstances. It is actually very convenient to choose accommodation or day school.
Paying boarding students are provided with three meals a day, and the dormitories in the school are for eight people per room. Furniture and bedding are all provided, so there is no need to make extra preparations at home.
Yu Yalan knows that people have a very difficult life in drought years, and occasionally there is no time to bring their own meals. For this reason, the school will distribute a simple lunch at noon every day to prevent students from being hungry and affecting their studies.
state.
Although there was only a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, it was still a relief to the people in trouble.
Since those families can send their children to study and learn arts, it shows that they still have a very open-minded and long-term outlook on life. Yu Yalan is also happy to support everyone's ambition, so that more outstanding talents can be cultivated.
In order for Shuguang Hall to continue operating for a long time, Yu Yalan will also accept monetary donations from high-ranking officials and businessmen. She will have their names and achievements engraved on the merit monument at the door of any good person who donates money to support the school. The ancients valued the influence of reputation.
, in this way, we can not only thank all parties for their support, but also satisfy the donor’s sense of vanity and accomplishment.
In addition to Shuguang Hall’s operating system, Yu Yalan has also formulated basic rules for daily teaching.
The class time in the school is set at three hours a day, with one and a half hours of study in the morning and one and a half hours in the afternoon. There are six different courses every day, each course lasting only half an hour.
There are breaks at noon and evening, and students are free to decide their activities and whereabouts. However, students staying in the dormitory are not allowed to leave the school without permission to avoid safety accidents.
The school can take one day off every tenth day, and students can return home during the vacation.
Due to the serious lack of teaching staff in the first year of school, and the inevitable problems that would arise during the first operation, Yu Yalan decided to only recruit 600 students this year. After that, she would slowly increase the number of teachers and expand the size of the school to recruit students.
More students.
…
At the end of summer, Shuguang Hall officially opened for enrollment.
On that day, the whole Yanzhou was in a sensation. Regardless of whether they wanted to send their children to school or not, people came to watch this lively event.
Yu Yalan had previously sent people to publicize the admissions conditions and school regulations. The requirement that tuition and miscellaneous fees are free and food and accommodation must be paid by oneself actually dissuades some people who want to take advantage, but more people still want their children to learn something to make a living.
ability, so today many people still come to sign up with their children.
Two groups of secret guards, the Eight Puppet and the Sword, came to the scene to maintain order, while the Yu Yalan siblings were responsible for conducting character tests on the registered children.
There happened to be only one pair of soul-discriminating bracelets in the space, and they couldn't change them at will after recognizing the owner, so they could only do it themselves and couldn't entrust the task of testing their character to others.
Yu Yalan was quite critical of this. She had always wanted to equip Song Xi with a mind-reading bracelet. After all, Song Xi often needed to come into contact with different groups of people. Having a spirit bracelet as an early warning could better avoid danger.
Song Xi didn't have any delusions about this, and comforted Yu Yalan not to worry too much. Personal observation and judgment can train his own vision and ability, which is actually more helpful to him.
After thinking about it, Yu Yalan also felt that it made sense. She didn't like to deal with strangers, so she relied heavily on the judgment of the spirit bracelet. However, Song Xi will control more power in the future. Knowing people and making good use of them and selecting talents is a hidden dragon.
An indispensable ability.
His eyes turned back to the Dawn Hall.
Since there are more than 2,000 students who have signed up, and the school currently does not have such a large carrying capacity, Yu Yalan can only adopt a first-come, first-served principle. Children who sign up first and pass the test will get the opportunity to enroll.
Many people initially planned to wait and see, hoping to wait for others to successfully complete the process before registering. Now that they heard that the number of places was limited, everyone rushed to queue up to register.
In addition to the unprecedented excitement of registration, donors also came to support the event.
As the prefect of Yanzhou, Xu Yongnian was the first to donate 3,000 taels of silver, and was invited to give a lot of encouragement and praise at the enrollment site. Shuguang Hall was certified by the government, and its status in the hearts of the people was greatly improved.
Luo Sihai, who had regained his property, was not to be outdone and directly donated one hundred thousand taels of silver. If Yu Yalan had not persuaded him to restrain his behavior, he would have donated even more money.
With the two big figures taking the lead, the school successively received many donations from merchants or officials, each amounting to around a thousand taels. Compared with the first two, the school seemed a little tight-lipped.
Yu Yalan didn't mind either, and engraved their names on merit monuments as promised.
