Chapter 192 Planning for the Future
Qin Zimu was still hesitating, but Qin Ruo's tough attitude blocked his way out.
The academy that Qin Ruo arranged for Qin Zimu to go to was at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of Taihe County.
At the beginning, Qin Ruo wanted to send Qin Zimu to Luming Academy. At that time, she thought that Qin Zimu and Qin Ziyan would take care of each other after entering the academy.
After learning about this, Old Lady Xie suggested that she send Qin Zimu to Mingyue Academy and introduced Qin Ruo to Principal Zhang.
The principal of Mingyue Academy is Mr. Zhang, who retired and lived in seclusion in Taihe County.
In his early years, Mr. Zhang served as an editor in the Hanlin Academy of the Dasheng Dynasty. Later, because he was tired of the disputes in the officialdom, he resolutely resigned and founded the Mingyue Academy.
Although Mingyue Academy is not as famous as Luming Academy, and it does not have many students and teachers, it seems that there is no comparison with Luming Academy.
But Qin Ruo was quite satisfied. The academy was right at the foot of the mountain, with a quiet environment and a well-organized layout.
As soon as you walk in, you can feel the strong scent of books, which is less impetuous and more peaceful.
After meeting Mr. Zhang, Qin Ruo felt even more respect for Mr. Zhang, who was both knowledgeable and indifferent.
Mr. Zhang is knowledgeable and not bound by traditional dogma, which coincides with Qin Ruo's philosophy on education.
For a child like Qin Zimu, Principal Zhang is undoubtedly a very good guide.
Of course, not just anyone can enter Mingyue Academy. Principal Zhang pays particular attention to the moral character of students.
In addition, the school term had already started this year, and even though it was recommended by Old Madam Xie, Principal Zhang did not immediately agree.
At that time, he only agreed to meet Qin Zimu and only agreed to accept him as a student after observing him and deeming him suitable.
Qin Ruo was mentally prepared for this result.
If Zhang Shanzhang was afraid of the powerful and those who curry favor with the influential, he would not have retired.
Being able to agree to meet Qin Zimu was also a way of giving Old Madam Xie some face.
Qin Ruo just said that Qin Zimu had taken care of everything, but it was just to temporarily stabilize Qin Zimu because she was not worried at all that Qin Zimu would not be able to pass the test of Zhang Shanzhang.
After making an appointment with Director Zhang, Qin Ruo returned to Changhe Village.
Qin Zimu's study was settled. Qin Ruo asked him to prepare and would take him back to Taihe County to meet Zhang Shanzhang in a few days.
Nanny Tian's forced marriage caused Qin Zimu a great psychological shock.
It was the first time that he realized the gap between the powerful and wealthy and the peasants. A nanny from a wealthy family could easily control the fate of ordinary people.
If it weren't for his sister's ability, he wouldn't even dare to imagine what the outcome would be.
Qin Zimu did not have much desire for power. From the beginning to the end, he just wanted to become Qin Ruo's support one day.
People say that learning martial arts can make you stronger, so he learned martial arts. Reading can make people wise, so he took every opportunity to learn knowledge.
Old Lady Qin sighed that it is very difficult for women to live in this world.
Even my sister is not having an easy time, even though she is earning some money now.
I’m afraid that one day after getting married, I’ll meet a bad in-law family and be ostracized and despised.
Qin Zimu wanted to fight for himself, and also wanted to be Qin Ruo's strongest backing.
If Qin Ruo knew what Qin Zimu was thinking, she would definitely be in a dilemma.
Not to mention that she has no plans to get married at the moment, she is not a love-minded person at all.
If we really get married one day, we will just break up if we are not happy. It is not my character to compromise. In the end, the iron must be strong itself.
After arranging Qin Zimu's affairs, Qin Ruo did not rest for long and took him to visit Lord Pan in person.
I explained to him that Qin Zimu would be going to Mingyue Academy to study in a few days, and he might not be able to help with farm matters in the future.
"Zi Mu is still young, he shouldn't be busy in the fields every day, study hard, study hard!"
"Zi Mu is a smart, hard-working and down-to-earth child. If he studies hard, he will be able to achieve something in the future and benefit the people." Lord Pan praised Qin Zi Mu again and again.
A few days ago, Qin Zimu compiled a full notebook with the process of growing new crops and gave it to Lord Pan for reference.
All the sweet potatoes have been planted now, and with the warm weather these days, even the potatoes have been planted.
The rest will be left to Lord Pan, the agricultural official, to study slowly in the future. Lord Pan naturally supported Qin Zimu's decision to study at the academy.
Now, the chief Qin has arranged everything for food and accommodation. If there is a shortage of manpower, we can just transfer more people over.
Researching new crops is the responsibility of the Sinong Temple. We cannot keep hindering other people’s future because of the temple’s own affairs.
Before Qin Ruo left, she made an appointment with Lord Pan and others to have a meal at Qin's house in a few days as her farewell party, and Lord Pan agreed quite readily.
After leaving Lord Pan, Qin Ruo went to the new house that was under construction and chatted with Uncle Wu for a while.
Every profession has its own expertise, so she was relieved to leave the matter to Uncle Wu. According to the current progress, it should be completed in August this year, which is just the right time.
Qin Huaisheng hurried to Qin's house in the evening after finishing a day's work.
During the day, I have to lead the villagers to cooperate with the craftsmen sent by County Magistrate Jiang to repair the canal. These days are particularly busy.
Qin Huaisheng roughly told Qin Ruo about the current situation. The Qin family's ancestral hall was being built, arrangements were being made for the clan school, and the candidates for teachers were also being sought.
The ethnic school is temporarily placed in a vacant house in the village. After the canal construction is completed, the ethnic school can officially operate.
"Other villagers have heard that our Qin family is going to set up a clan school. They have been asking about it these days. They want to know if they can send their children here. What do you think, A Ruo?"
Both the ancestral hall and the Qin clan school were funded by Qin Ruo. Qin Huaisheng was not a person who acted on his own, so he naturally had to ask Qin Ruo for her opinion on this matter.
"The original intention of the Qin family to open a clan school was to enable our descendants to have books to read and knowledge to learn, so as not to become illiterate. If villagers want to send their children here, it is not impossible. But the rules must be established."
The Qin clan school also has a threshold, and it is impossible to reject everyone. You should first release ten places for children with good character and a true passion for studying. Once the clan school is stable, we can discuss the follow-up matters later."
"For the children sent by villagers, we should accept the tuition and we can accept it at our discretion. The villagers here are not rich, but they are greedy. We must let them know that there is no free lunch in our Qin family."
Qin Ruo couldn't say that she had deep feelings for the villagers of Changhe Village. After all, interests were always the most reliable relationship.
"Literacy" is not her obligation, and getting something for nothing does not work for her.
Qin Ruo's words made Qin Huaisheng feel guilty.
Kindness does not command the army, and righteousness does not command the wealth.
As the village head, he really wanted to do something practical for his fellow villagers.
I thought that once the Qin clan school was opened, it would be the same whether I taught one person or a group of people. Now looking back, it was really inappropriate.
