Chapter 367

By the time Gu Jingyun and the three of them left the palace, it was already past time, and the two masters and apprentices had eaten so much that their stomachs were full. Gu Jingyun only spoke to the emperor for more than a quarter of an hour, but it took more than two quarters to walk from the Qinzheng Hall to the gate of the palace. bell.

Li Baolu and Bai Yitang wanted to leave quickly, but when Gu Jingyun's eyes swept over their stomachs, they couldn't help slowing down, and obediently swayed out behind him.

When they saw Erlin at the gate of the palace, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and finally they could get on the carriage and leave quickly. Although they were not in a hurry, it was not a walk, and walking slowly like this was uncomfortable.

Bai Yitang left the two of them and jumped into the carriage first, and Li Baolu quickly reached out to help Gu Jingyun, telling him to get on the carriage quickly.

Gu Jingyun shook his head and laughed, "You guys, who told you not to be restrained when eating?"

Li Baolu quibbled: "We feel that we are eating just right, not too full."

Seeing him looking over, she immediately tightened her stomach and raised her chest.

Gu Jingyun just glanced at her belly and helped her get into the car.

Li Baolu smiled, and immediately climbed in, Erlin put the stool on the shaft and drove away.

In the car, Gu Jingyun poured a cup of tea for the two of them and asked, "Why didn't you go home first and then ran into the palace?"

"In order to avoid suspicion, lest anyone say that you pushed me into the palace, reopening the women's school was your idea and uncle's idea," Li Baolu took a sip of tea, and exhaled comfortably: "It's all right now, let the culprit be that one." Mr. Huang, recite it. If those stubborn and acid scholars scold me and that Mr. Huang, I don’t mind. Anyway, I’m a housewife. If I’m happy, I’ll forget it. ? That Mr. Huang is miserable!"

"In other words, this move is not just for revenge on Mr. Huang, you have already planned to reopen the women's school?"

"No, I only remembered it when I was angry with him, but when I opened my mouth in the Zhuangyuan building, I thought that no matter how much you quarrel, I can't drag you into the water. You are the prince's teacher. If it gets out, you and such a teacher If there is a conflict, it is you who will be criticized in the end."

Since Gu Jingyun was not dragged into the water during the quarrel, of course Gu Jingyun couldn't be involved in revenge afterwards.

That's why Li Baolu ran into the palace without even thinking about it, never thinking about going back to ask Gu Jingyun for help.

"You have seen so many wives in the Queen's Palace. This matter should have been spread by them. It is true that they have broken away from me, but I have a hand in the back. It is impossible to be alone." Gu Jingyun smiled. He took out a yellow envelope from his sleeve and handed it to her.

Li Baolu opened it, her eyes almost popping out. It was a brochure stamped with a jade seal, and it was a yellow brochure for Qingxi Academy and Songshan Academy to recruit female students.

"Since the women's school is going to be reopened, how can we only have female students and no female teachers?" Gu Jingyun moved his hands together and said, "Back then, Qingxi Academy's women's school had five grades, and there were about ten classes in each grade. Incrementally, plus the courses available for electives, there can be eighteen kinds at most. Eighteen courses, only the fifth grade is counted, and one teacher can teach two to four classes, which requires forty-five to ninety Teachers around, and counting the teachers of forty classes from grades one to four..."

Gu Jingyun chuckled and said: "At that time, there were only six female teachers in the whole college, and with the popularity of women's schools, the restrictions were gradually relaxed and women were allowed to teach. It took twelve years."

The first female teacher was hired by Qingxi Academy only 12 years after the establishment of the Women's School, and because of her special experience, she was widowed first and was born in Qingxi Academy, so she was able to return to teach at the school .

It took a few years for Qingxi Academy to gradually let go of the hiring of women as teachers, and then Songshan Academy followed suit, and other women's schools began to recruit women to teach on a large scale.

"Since you want to do it, you must do your best. Now that the atmosphere in Dachu is not the same as before, it is already very difficult to reopen the women's school. If you want women to enter the academy to teach, who knows how long it will take until it happens naturally? Now that we have Let His Majesty issue an order to reopen the women's school, it is better to let him order the two major academies to hire female teachers."

"The academies in central Beijing have always followed the lead of the two academies in Qingxi and Songshan, and the academies in Dachu and other parts of the capital have followed suit. I believe that in a few years, women's schools will become popular in various places, and it will not be uncommon for women to be teachers. It's over."

"Yes, but I only need to fulfill one wish, how can I ask so much from His Majesty?"

Gu Jingyun looked at the silly little wife who was speechless, and Bai Yitang couldn't help covering his face with his hands, oops, what a shame, why did he find such a silly apprentice.

Gu Jingyun also felt that his wife was too innocent, so he touched her little head and said, "In the future, you should tell me about this kind of thing, so as not to be bullied."

Li Baolu pouted and said: "Don't look at me like this, I'm not stupid. People like Mr. Huang, they bully me, I will naturally go back ten times, but His Majesty treats us well, he With high authority, we don’t need us to do anything for him, so if we can avoid causing trouble for him, it is naturally not too much to ask for.”

Li Baolu has always been like this, she always has kindness towards strangers, smiles at them first, and corrects her attitude first, if the other person is not good, she will never be soft when she provokes herself and fight back, but if the other party treats her well, she You can pay back ten times.

The emperor has always taken good care of them. Although she inherited the kindness of her ancestors, she really felt the emperor's love and care.

Reopening the women's school is already a request, and then asking the emperor to start a business to help recruit female teachers also Li Baolu would be a little guilty.

Gu Jingyun didn't have her soft heart, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty doesn't find it troublesome, but thinks you are a fool."

Can you not be stupid, to use up a wish in order to get revenge for a quarrel.

Can it not be a loss? A promise from the emperor is used to do something that is not of much benefit to him.

"Tomorrow His Majesty should issue an order. It is already April, and it is impossible to catch up with the spring semester. We can only wait for the autumn semester. It just so happens that the major academies also need to reorganize the classrooms and buildings needed by the women's schools. The equipment needs to be prepared, and registration should be in advance in June, and the recruitment of female gentlemen will also be put on the agenda, and it will be operational when the school enrolls in July." Gu Jingyun looked at Li Baolu and said: "I have already told Your Majesty, At that time, you will also go to participate in the recruitment, don't think about playing during this time, read the book carefully, and you must pass the exam."

"Do you really want me to teach?"

"Yes," Gu Jingyun asked with a smile in his eyes, "Don't you want to commute with me every day?"

Li Baolu's eyes lit up, "I want to!"

"Then prepare well."

"But what do I teach?" Li Baolu counted what she was good at with her fingers, "I don't need to think about poetry and songs, but I am not inferior to others in the collection of classics and history. If I don't talk about others, I dare to say that I am above Zigui. He Juren, if he can teach students, I can teach them too, besides arithmetic and martial arts, my archery is also good, by the way, ladies learn archery?"

"It's an elective course, you can choose freely." Gu Jingyun poured himself a cup of tea and said: "But arithmetic must be learned."

Li Baolu clapped her hands together and said, "Then I'll be an arithmetic teacher. Well, history is also good. I can learn about the past and the present with my students. It's also very good to learn how to behave."

"Then you should apply for both." Li Baolu and he were taught by their uncle since they were young. He knew her ability. The status of history is much higher than arithmetic.

Bai Yitang saw that they were discussing in full swing, and couldn't help but said, "Baolu, don't forget that you promised Master to do business together."

Li Baolu waved his hand and said: "I can't forget, isn't there someone below, just leave it to the servants to do it."

Bai Yitang rolled his eyes and said, "Do you have any available servants?"

"Buy it."

"Your servants who know how to run the business are all over the place." Bai Yitang poked her forehead bitterly and said, "I heard that the servants you are running the store and Zhuangzi are sent either by your uncle or by the prince. , let me ask you, where can you find someone who can manage the business on your behalf?"

Gu Jingyun separated his hands, leaned forward, protected Li Baolu behind him and said with a smile: "What kind of business does Master want to do? Maybe I can help you find a way."

Seeing him protecting his shortcomings, Bai Yitang snorted softly and said, "Ask your wife."

Li Baolu whispered in his ear for a while, and said in a low voice: "Actually, the shopkeeper and the assistants who manage the shop are easy to find. Even if we don't ask for people from the uncle and the prince, we can find slaves of prisoners and some big merchants to sell them everywhere." It can be used after some training by the servants, but it is hard to find people who go to the business."

"Since we have decided to expand the fabric business, and even wholesale common fabrics, we need a lot of cotton and linen. Compared with purchasing from the previous suppliers, it is natural for us to form a caravan and go to the place of origin to purchase the goods in person. It’s a good deal. The person in charge not only needs to be talented in management and management, but also to be able to mix in all kinds of teachings, and it’s best to be good at kung fu.”

If merchants traveling from south to north do not hire bodyguards, they must learn martial arts by themselves. They don't have much capital, and it is impossible to hire a bodyguard, and the cost is too high.

Gu Jingyun thought for a while and asked, "Are those people who ransacked your house for you still in the capital?"

Li Baolu was taken aback, then slightly widened her eyes and said, "You want to use them?"

Gu Jingyun smiled, "I remember you said at the beginning that they were not evil, so they didn't send people to the police. Later, they ransacked your house for you and didn't hide your property. They also knew martial arts. They used to be robbers themselves, as long as they know numbers Know how to settle accounts, people are smarter, and there is nothing wrong with teaching them how to do business."

Bai Yitang was curious, "Apprentice, have you ever used robbers? Tsk tsk tsk, yes, yes, as expected of my apprentice, Bai Yitang, this sword is slanted."

"Master, I used them to copy my own house, but I didn't do anything wrong." Li Baolu turned to Gu Jingyun and said, "They are in Baoding. Back then they asked me for a house they copied in Baoding City, and they bought it themselves. They settled down there a little bit. I will send someone to find them when I go back."
