Chapter 445: The End (10)
In the hot weather, there was no wind everywhere, but there were tables and chairs for admissions at the entrance of a girls' school in the suburbs of Beijing. Several women in their twenties were sitting there waiting for people to come to consult, but they had been promoting for several days, but they were still deserted. Obviously, the enthusiasm of the people around them was not high.
One of the women who seemed to be the person in charge complained to Qi Aoer who was inspecting, "Mr. Shi, this has been open for a few days, but only a few students have been collected. The task of collecting 100 students is really not completed. When everyone hears that it is the girls' school's enrollment, they wave their hands and don't even want to listen. What should we do?"
She was so worried about this that she couldn't sleep at night, so she got angry that the corners of her mouth had soaked.
Qi Aoer also frowned. Although the difficulty of enrolling students was expected, she did not expect it to be so difficult. However, she retreated in the face of the difficulties. There were no these two words in her dictionary, so she comforted the head of the school. After all, she was anxious and couldn't eat hot tofu.
But she turned around and returned to the palace to report this matter to Rong Jingqiu. If the matter was not resolved, it would be a devastating blow to the Women's Technical School.
For such a problem, Rong Jingqiu has already read the reports of all the girls' technical schools that have opened, and the problems can be said to be similar.
So when Qi Aoer came in to talk about this problem, Rong Jingqiu pointed to the position of the lower head, "Stop from here first, I already know this."
"In my opinion, I still have to lead the upper part to mobilize the clan. There are always some clans who are not doing well and are willing to make this happen." Princess Qinglan said.
Rong Jingqiu didn't want the upper-class women to occupy this resource. Compared with the lower-class women, they have enough resources. However, there are many members of the royal family who are not doing well. When she became this queen, she has heard many marginalized royal family members complain about the difficulties of life and hope that the palace will bring them a hand.
Therefore, if they are mobilized to send their daughters in to study, it may play a role in publicity.
After pondering for a while, she said directly, "Although their lives are tight, they are afraid that they will not be able to rely on mobilization alone. First, they cannot let go, and second, they are not as good as they have to make money by their daughters," paused for a while, "Let's do this, tell them, which family is willing to send their daughters to girls' school, I will give her daughter the name. When we are about to marry, I will point them to the marriage."
The empress in the dynasty was a marriage, which was a glory for ordinary royal women. With this support, they were naturally willing. Princess Qinglan could understand this interest as soon as she heard it, "Okay, just do it, I'll tell them now."
She immediately got up and turned around and left.
Qi Aoer was a little shocked to see. Princess Qinglan was really not polite. She peeked at Rong Jingqiu's expression, but she didn't feel displeasure. She just used to calm and calm expressions. She obviously didn't mind Princess Qinglan's rude behavior. She slightly closed her eyebrows and couldn't help but feel a little envious. Everyone often said that the heights were cold, but Rong Jingqiu had already stood at the highest point. There was such a handkerchief beside her. On the other hand, once she was in trouble, all her former friends would be exposed, which showed that she lost even to Rong Jingqiu.
While she was thinking about it, her elbow was hit by someone. She was about to get angry at the person, but when she heard Rong Jingqiu calling her, she quickly calmed down, "What are the instructions of the Empress?"
"What do you think about this?" Rong Jingqiu frowned. She called her several times but didn't react. It was the palace maid behind her who secretly hit her elbow, and she came back to her senses.
"I'm thinking about how to recruit students." Qi Aoer made a fool of herself to deal with it. The real physiognomy is that she will not express it. She doesn't want to see the sympathy in the eyes of others. Anyway, she never needs any friends, especially now.
Rong Jingqiu did not ask again, but said, "You go to find a group of women who are good at speaking and speaking in the city and the countryside to promote the girls' technical school. Well, that's it, go to girls' schools to learn technology, make money and get married. You can also book a meal at noon, and the Queen herself endorses..."
"Cousin, it's inappropriate to use your name..." Jin Rui hurriedly said.
Rong Jingqiu asked back, "Who is the one in Da'an today better than my name?"
Jin Rui was speechless. The queen was the mother of a country and the most noble woman in the dynasty. Who dared to compete with her?
Qi Aoer didn't expect Rong Jingqiu to use her name like this. This shocked her and couldn't help but secretly admire her. If she were sitting in this position today, she would never do this. After all, if something went wrong with this girl's technical school, she would be implicated.
But Rong Jingqiu did this, and she even endorsed the letter herself. At this moment, she felt more and more the difference between herself and her. Sure enough, there was a reason why God did not give her this queen.
"I'll do it now."
She did not delay, and hurriedly retreated after getting up and saluting.
Jin Rui glanced at Qi Aoer's back as she left. She was always wary of this person, afraid that this woman would be unfavorable to her cousin, so she took advantage of her departure and said quickly, "Cousin, are you really worried about her going to and from the palace like this? I always feel that this woman is not giving up. Keeping her will be frightened in the future..."
Rong Jingqiu glanced at the doubts in her cousin's eyes, and then smiled, "Since I use her, I will trust her. This is one of the basic principles of using people, and I will not doubt people." Seeing that Jin Rui was going to say something else, she patted her hand, "Don't worry, I know what I know. If she dares to trip up again, I will really break her legs."
Jin Rui felt a little relieved when she saw that her cousin looked like she was joking. She was right. Her cousin had always been wise, and her worries seemed a little redundant.
Thinking of this, I was afraid that Rong Jingqiu would have any objections to her, so I hurriedly asked for a supplement, "Cousin, I don't mean to target the Nv Shi Qi, I'm just worried..."
"I know." Rong Jingqiu smiled. No matter whether Jin Rui's worries were out of public or selfishness, her cousin did not disappoint her.
Qi Aoer quickly arranged what Rong Jingqiu ordered, which should be early rather than late. Now it is midsummer, and it will be autumn harvest if it is delayed, and it will be even more difficult to recruit students.
So, a group of women sang like this in the streets and alleys and fields. The publicity became so popular and soon attracted people's attention.
In this world, not every household is trying hard to squeeze their daughters, and there are always people who love their daughters. Some visionary families know the principle of learning technology. If a daughter can master a technique like her son, it will be easier to marry into a good family in the future.
So many people stopped these women who were good at speaking and asked questions.
"What kind of girls' technical school is this?"
"Yeah, you're offensive. This was established by the Queen herself. It was to cultivate our daughter's family that can master a technique like a man, such as embroidery and weaving..."
"Yeah, this embroidery and weaving can be taught at home, so why do you need to send it to any technical school?" Someone immediately sang a opposite tune, and this opposite tune was recognized by many people.
However, this was quickly refuted, "The teacher who taught was invited from Jiangnan, and some of them were embroiderers from the palace. The clothes made by these people were specially for His Majesty and the Empresses. With your skills, I am afraid that the embroidery shop may not be favored. Why don't you tell me how many embroidery pieces you sold?"
After this question, the man was immediately pushed by a good woman and revealed his true feelings, "With her skills, let alone selling them in the embroidery shop, her men think she is clumsy..."
"Go and go, there are you talkative people everywhere." The man blushed with shame and quickly squirted back.
It immediately caused another burst of laughter.
However, more people understand that this is the place to teach real skills. It is important to know that although every household can teach their daughters needlework, no one can teach a name. Being able to sew clothes is the highest level. Embroidering a rough pattern is barely enough. If it can be so exquisite that it can be sold, then there are few people with such skillful skills in the countryside. Which family can marry such a wife and can brag for half of their lives, because they can sell embroidery to supplement their family income, and their family life will be better all at once.
So, someone immediately rushed to the front and asked, "Is it really an embroiderer from Jiangnan who teaches her skills?"
"That's of course, otherwise it wouldn't be the Queen's personal letter. Don't worry, this is definitely a good thing. Moreover, the gentlemen in it are all women, so don't worry about the reputation of the girls sent in to learn crafts. By the way, I heard that there are some royal women who responded to the Queen's call to learn technology..."
"Is there a royal woman going?"
"Can I still lie? Go and inquire about it yourself..."
Everyone was immediately uproared, and many people were moved, so they asked about the conditions for recruitment.
"Girls over seven years old and under fourteen years old can go to school, but each school only recruits 100 students in advance. If you want to register, please hurry up."
When the people who heard that they had only recruited 100 students and wanted to send their daughter to the technical school took action immediately. When they found out the address, they hurried back and pulled their daughter up and ran to the nearest school.
Of course, there are more people who are waiting and watching. Anyway, let’s take a look at the results of other people’s studies first, and I don’t compete for this first.
Qi Aoer witnessed the technical school from the gaps to the hustle and bustle of cars and horses. First, the marginalized royal family greedy for Rong Jingqiu's promises and really sent her daughter as a role model. Then there were the people who came from the surrounding area, including towns and some from the countryside, and their enthusiasm for registration increased a lot.
However, many people are still concerned about whether they really have a meal. After getting a positive answer, they have no worries.
Qi Aoer returned to the palace to report these experiences to Rong Jingqiu, and couldn't help but sigh, "The Empress is really far-sighted, and I sigh that I am not as good as I am."
Rong Jingqiu did not take credit for it, "This is everyone's credit, not only my palace." He paused, "I saw that the school was started, but have you ever thought about the next thing?"
"What else is there next?" Qi Aoer subconsciously replied, as long as the school gets on track, the next thing will be easy to deal with. She feels that the most headache has been solved. Of course, there is another issue she is very concerned about, that is, money, and running a school requires a lot of money.
Rong Jingqiu raised her eyebrows and said, "We have cultivated so many technical talents. If the market cannot digest it, will anyone come to this technical school?"
Nowadays, these families who send their daughters to school come for utilitarian purposes. If they find that their daughters are useless in school, will they send their daughters to school in the future? The answer is conceivable.
Qi Aoer's expression changed, but she didn't think so long.
Rong Jingqiu said, "So we have to find a way out for them, achieve the initial goal, an independent economy."
Only by supporting oneself can one have higher pursuits, that is, an independent personality.
"Do we have to start a large number of factories?" Qi Aoer just didn't think about the long term at the beginning. Once she thought about it deeper, she would soon get the answer, "But where do we sell so many things?"
The Da'an Dynasty was so big, there were only so many rich people, and no one wanted the extra things.
"This is a good question." Rong Jingqiu smiled.
Qi Aoer suddenly felt bad. She thought that after the school was started, she would build a framework for future development, but it seemed that this was the initial stage of the first and there were more things to be solved later.
When Rong Jingqiu was running this women's technical school, she began to think about the problems of sustainable development in the future. The problems will not appear within three to five years, so it is very limited to give her the time to solve the problem.
So, when she was about to express her thoughts to Zhao Yu, she saw such a memorial on Zhao Yu's imperial case. She did not disturb Zhao Yu's handling of the memorial, so she picked it up and sat aside and read it.
The person who wrote this memorial must be a business expert. This person proposed to open the seaside so that silk, porcelain, tea, etc. produced by the Da'an Dynasty would be circulated overseas, saying that this would make huge profits from overseas and alleviate the problem of empty treasury.
Zhao Yu thought Rong Jingqiu came over to say something, but she didn't say a word. He couldn't wait for her voice for a long time, so he stopped reviewing the memorials and turned to look at her. He saw that she was very sensible in her eyes and could not even feel his gaze.
"What are you looking at?"
Hearing her husband's voice, Rong Jingqiu woke up and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Yu's hand and said anxiously, "Who wrote this memorial? Quickly, dig out this person, this person will be of great use..."
After hearing this, Zhao Yu glanced at the memorial in her hand, frowned with his eyebrows, and said with a sour taste, "I still need this person to recommend to you? You are an old acquaintance, can't remember?"
Rong Jingqiu didn't care about his jealous words, and immediately looked at the signature of the memorial. The three words "Bo Jingran" appeared on the paper, and she immediately became embarrassed.
