Chapter 233 What I Can Do

"I've...yes?" Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, "But I haven't participated in the training, and isn't there an assessment at the end?"

"You can continue to participate in the training, and the assessment is a flexible choice. Even if you pass, there will be continuous review in the next one to several years." Xia Fan explained methodically, "The key lies in two points. Are you willing to devote your energy to your duties, and whether your actual performance and results meet the progress needs of Jinxia City in the next few decades.”

Seeing the confused look on the other party's face, he smiled and added, "It sounds hard to pronounce, but when you get involved, you will naturally understand the meaning of these two requirements."

Liu Ruyan thought for a while, "Sir, I don't know if I can satisfy the second point, but as for the first point - I want this position."

"Even if you don't know the specific content?"

She clenched her fingers, "As long as I can leave Zui Qinglou, and... I believe what that little girl said."

This is an opportunity for ordinary people to change their destiny.

She had already witnessed it once when the fox demon climbed onto the window sill surrounded by cats and extended a helping hand to her with Xiaguang on his back.

"It's Luo You'er." Xia Fan smiled, "Very good. Before I tell you the content, I have to explain to you what an official of the Secretariat is. There are fundamental differences between him and government officials - status, salary. , subsidies, and benefits are all provided by the Secretariat, or Her Royal Highness, so the service targets are also the princess, not the six ministries of the imperial court. "

Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat when she heard about the imperial court, but she thought that since the princess was responsible for paying the expenses, it seemed reasonable to serve the princess.

"Secondly, the new official should serve the people. No matter what position he holds or where he is, this will not change. Of course, on the surface, the new official is part of the bureau and performs affairs The tasks assigned by the Secretariat should also safeguard the interests of the Secretariat. However, guiding the masses to keep moving forward is one of the core goals of the Secretariat. If someone does something that goes against the interests of the people under the guise of the Secretariat. , then he will definitely not be able to stay in the Secretariat’s post.”

Although this part of the content is still a bit unfamiliar, it is much better than the previous two points. At least Liu Ruyan can vaguely understand what Fu Cheng means.

In her understanding, the officials of the Secretariat were no longer superior men, but people like Miss You'er.

Although it was a bit subversive, she breathed a rare sigh of relief.

"I - would like to do so."

"Actually, this is also the key content of the first day of training." Xia Fan picked up another document and pushed it to the table. "As for your position, take a look at what is written on it."

Liu Ruyan picked up the document, and the big words "Education Plan" on the homepage came into view.

She suddenly thought of what Zhou Sheng had said.

"Don't worry. He can't make it."

"I just said hello to the private schools and teachers nearby."

"Master Xia... I have heard some rumors, which are aimed at your plan." Liu Ruyan organized a speech and roughly told what she knew. "Zhou Sheng's teacher is quite famous. If you are not convinced, If he does, I’m afraid no scholar around me will become a master.”

"Is there such a thing?" Xia Fan touched his chin, "I've never heard of it. But it doesn't matter, I had no intention of letting them be teachers."

"Then who will teach?"

"you."

This time Liu Ruyan was stunned for almost ten breaths, then suddenly stood up and knelt down, "Sir, please think twice, I'm afraid I don't have such qualifications!"

To be a teacher, you must first rectify your own body - this "body" means both virtue and identity. The so-called teaching by words and example, the master in a private school is basically a scholar. If you can't even pass the examination, how can others believe that you have the ability to teach others?

Although she received enlightenment education very early, because she was a woman, she never took the imperial examination. Not only that, she was later sold into a brothel at a low price, which is a mark that can never be erased in the eyes of the world. Becoming a teacher is an extremely honorable and respected position. With her innocent past, it would be impossible for her to be associated with a teacher in this life. If word spread about it, it would only make people laugh.

It would be fine if only she was laughed at, but this criticism is likely to spread to the Secretariat, making the education plan something that everyone cannot avoid.

"Get up and talk." Xia Fan's relaxed expression still hasn't changed much, "Don't worry, I have already considered your concerns. You are not the only teacher, and the pressure will not be borne by you alone."

"but……"

"I know what you want to say. This move will indeed attract opposition, but if opposition is useful, why do you need swords and guns?"

"Huh?" Liu Ruyan blinked. This was the first time she heard such a metaphor.

"Words can't convince the other party, then use force to prove it - the same is true for the emergence of any new thing." Xia Fan spread his hands and said, "If you can't win with a sword, just a few curses can't make the new seedlings return to the ground. Those big families don’t have to send their children, but there are still many children who don’t have this choice, and they are the majority of the people in Jinxia City. Do you remember what I said about the responsibilities of the new officials?”

"To serve the people?" Liu Ruyan whispered.

"If you can remember this, it means you are qualified." Xia Fan nodded, "There are no restrictions on identity in the two key points of serving in the Affairs Bureau. Similarly, it will not require you to return to Zui Qinglou-how about it, are you still thinking the same as before?"

I see... They did not do this on a whim, but had thought of everything long ago.

If the Affairs Bureau has considered everything, why should she back down?

"If you don't mind-" Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, "I will do my best to teach what I know."

Xia Fan raised the corner of his mouth, "Indeed, you still have a lot to learn, but before that, you don't have to have too much pressure. Because in the near future, you only have to teach one thing: let the children who come to class learn to read and write."

"Don't you have to teach those classic collections?"

"You can use poetry as an example, but the main focus is to improve reading and writing skills. After all, literacy is the most important thing." Xia Fan replied, "The course is full-day, but it will be divided into multiple sections for rotation. The specific regulations are written at the back of the plan, you can take it back and take a closer look."

"In addition, I also tried to write a supplementary textbook , you can study it in these few days. The school will start in a week, and it may help your teaching ideas. Also, don't forget that you are already a member of the Affairs Bureau. If you have any questions, come here to find me at any time - no need to make an appointment or write a visiting card, just come directly. "

Speaking of this, Xia Fan looked out the window. At this time, the night sky was full of stars. "It's getting late, so let's stop here today. Go back and have a good rest. Don't worry about where to live. I have vacated the dormitory area of ​​the Privy Council for civil servants - no, reserve officials to rent. The expenses are very cheap and the safety is guaranteed. You can rest assured to live there. "

Then he looked at the fox demon, "Li, send her back to her residence. "
