Dressed as a peasant girl, the prince actually wants to seduce me

Chapter 169 3 Inviting the Great Scholar

Ji Shiyan silently handed a glass of water to Su Mu.

Su Mu drank it all in one gulp, "Grandpa Ji, what do you think?"

"Ah." The emperor sighed.

Su Mu's heart tightened. Was he saying something too advanced?

"Girl Su's idea is very good. Currently, knowledge is only in the hands of a small number of people."

There is a saying that goes, "Teaching your apprentice will starve you to death." Even some people who want to be your apprentice will not be taught seriously, but will keep some of their skills to themselves.

"I thought Grandpa Ji would say that I was a heretic." Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

The Emperor shook his head, "Mumu's thinking is beyond most people, and many people can't compare to you."

"The people are the foundation of the country. Only by teaching knowledge to more people can the country have more talents and develop better."

Some people nowadays still pass on their family knowledge. From generation to generation, a small number of people or a small number of families hold official positions. In addition, due to the relationships between families, it is inevitable that officials protect each other.

"It's hard for poor families to produce noble sons. On the one hand, it's because of money, and on the other hand, it's because of the monopoly of resources. Even if they want to study, they have nowhere to go."

Once they hear that you are a commoner, some people will not teach you at all. Even if we vigorously promote children from poor families now, there are not many children from poor families who become officials.

"Mumu's idea is really good, but it is difficult to achieve this goal." The emperor sighed.

"As long as the idea is good, I will work hard to realize it and solve problems when they arise. At worst, won't the emperor help me?" Su Mu teased.

"Hahahahahaha, just go for it, Grandpa Ji supports you."

Ji Shiyan looked at Su Mu with eager eyes, and Su Mu's soul seemed to be shining with dazzling light.

"It's hard to find a master. Some people may not want to come."

"Grandfather Royal, Mumu, I know a few people who might be willing to come." Ji Shiyan said.

"Oh? Who is it?"

Ji Shiyan used water to write a few names on the table.

"So it's them." Those people were more open-minded and not old-fashioned.

"I heard that these great scholars wanted to retire to the mountains, and their ideas are somewhat consistent with Mumu's."

Who is it? Su Mu was confused. What are these two people talking about?

"Mumu, these people are all great scholars, and they have taught many students, but their ideas are somewhat unorthodox, as you would say.

But this is also the argument used by others to suppress him. Some people want to use this to seek benefits, but these great scholars blocked their way. "

Su Mu could roughly guess what happened next. He must have used some means to make things difficult for these people, and then these people got tired of it and wanted to retire to the mountains to live a secluded life.

"So, where are these great scholars now?"

"He was in the capital some time ago. His current whereabouts are unknown. I need to check."

"Okay, thank you, Ji Shiyan."

"That's fine. We also very much hope that this academy can eventually grow into a towering tree."

"Don't worry, Su girl, just do it. We are all on your side."

"Okay!" Su Mu was full of confidence at this moment. With the support of her family and the protection of the Supreme Emperor Ji Shiyan, she would definitely succeed.

Ji Shiyan also ordered the secret guards to investigate the current whereabouts of the great scholars.

Sumu also went to discuss with the village chief and others about his plan to build a school. They were all very supportive and said that this was a great thing and that the children in the village would be able to read and write in the future.

The secret guards acted very quickly and soon obtained the addresses of several great scholars.

After getting the address, Sumu went straight to that place.

As a result, he didn’t get in the door the first time, and he didn’t get in the second time either.

Su Mu was depressed. It was really like the ancient people who visited the thatched cottage three times and now Su Mu invited the great scholar three times.

An old man in the room was also wondering why this little girl kept coming. Did they just send a little girl here?

Two days later, Su Mu came to the house again to ask for a meeting.

"Master, that little girl is here again."

"Forget it, let her in." The old man compromised.

"Master He."

"Little girl, why did they send you here? Go back, I can't persuade you." The old man was still very kind to Sumu.

Su Mu was very confused. What was this?

"Master He, I was not sent by anyone."

"Oh? No." The old man suddenly relaxed. "You don't have to call me Master. I'm not in the academy anymore."

Hearing that the old man was no longer in the academy, Su Mu felt a little happy in her heart. Did this mean she had a chance?

"Your knowledge is a role model for us, so we should still respectfully address you as Master."

Su Mu introduced himself and stated his purpose, "I am here to invite Master He to my school." Su Mu stated his purpose directly and also presented a gift.

"The little girl turned out to be the Lady of Qingshan Township. I have always heard of this person and finally got to meet her today." Master He stood up and saluted.

Everyone knows the name of Qingshan Xiangjun, and who wouldn't want to own a few farm tools designed by Futian Xiangjun?

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning." Su Mu smiled modestly and quickly helped the old man up. He couldn't let him salute him.

The two of them sat at the table, "The village master opened a school?"

"It's just a primary school in the village, teaching children to read."

"Oh? Why does Xiangjun want to build a school in the village?"

Su Mu told Master He some of his ideas, so that if the two of them had different ideas, they could know about it in advance.

As a result, Master He was very excited, "Great, Xiangjun, this is great!" He thought that his group of people also had these ideas at the beginning, but their plans were not as perfect as Xiangjun's, and they were not completed in the end.

"I agree. I'll call all those old friends over for you!" I never thought that I would be able to fulfill my dream at this age.

"Master He, I need to tell you about the current situation of the school. The school only has a few rooms now, and we don't know how many students there are." Su Mu was embarrassed. He had fooled a group of teachers without any preparation.

"It doesn't matter if life is a little hard. With Xiangjun's ability, I believe this goal will be achieved in the future."

"Then I'll borrow Master He's good words."

After she returns, she will have to consider the construction of a new school.

"My friend, you are a talented writer, and you are proficient in mathematics, poetry, and songs. It will be no problem for you to teach your children to read first."

"I have great respect for the knowledge of all the great scholars."

"It's just..."

"If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak up."

"Our school also accepts women. I wonder if you great scholars can accept this." Some scholars, relying on their noble status, look down on some women.

"We can accept these little things. We are not stubborn. We also have to teach our granddaughters to read and write."
