Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 221 Preparations before opening school

In the inner hall of Princess Tai'an's mansion, the ladies who received the invitation letters sat solemnly.

Sitting at the top were Xu Jinyu, Princess Changle and Princess Wuyang, all three of them had serious expressions.

Princess Changle coughed lightly and glanced at all the ladies in the capital.

"It has always been difficult for women to be born, especially for women from ordinary families. Our Women's Technical College aims to make life easier for ordinary women, so that they can have a skill and not have to sell themselves or join a brothel when they have difficulties in life."

"My academy will not teach women music, chess, calligraphy, painting, romance, and other things that can spice up life."

"I am sending you this invitation letter so that you can have a look at our vocational college for women. The college is divided into two parts, one for teaching scientific knowledge and the other for teaching how to make a living."

"It would be great if someone is willing to be a teacher at the school. If you are interested, please fill out this form."

Nanny He took a stack of papers from Xu Jinyu next to her and handed them to the ladies below.

Mrs. Zhou, the wife of the Minister of Revenue, looked at the form in her hand with some doubts. It not only asked what you are good at and what you are interested in teaching in this women's vocational college, but also asked whether you can accept new knowledge.

What does it mean?

Confused, Mrs. Zhou naturally asked.

Xu Jinyu smiled slightly.

[It’s time to show off! 】

Princess Wuyang smiled, she had a deep understanding of what Taian meant by pretentiousness.

"Have you ever thought that one day we will no longer use candles or oil lamps for lighting, but electric lights to make the whole house as bright as day? One day we will no longer go out by carriage, but by train, and we will reach the south in one day."

"One day we will be able to fly in the sky and travel around the entire Daqian in one day."

“One day, separation will no longer mean never seeing each other again, because even if we are separated, we can still hear each other’s voices every day. Except that we can’t see each other, it’s no different from being close to each other.”

"Or maybe you're not curious about how Liuli is made? How brown sugar turns into frosted sugar? What are the principles behind the secret recipes I sell?"

"You want to teach everyone how to make colored glass? Are you going to give up your business? I heard that your colored glass shop is making a lot of money."

A shrill voice shouted.

Xu Jinyu looked up and saw a lady who looked mean-spirited.

"this·····"

Nanny He reminded: "This is the wife of the Ruyin Marquis's mansion."

Then he whispered in Xu Jinyu's ear, "The Ruyin Marquis's Mansion has fallen into decline. It has nothing but the airs of a Marquis' Mansion. The Ruyin Marquis's wife is mean. Not only is she mean, but she also likes to make trouble."

Xu Jinyu nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Madam, I said I can teach you, and I will teach you, but I will only teach you the basics. Just like the glazed windows now still have a hint of green, there are bubbles inside if you're not careful. I will teach you how to make the simplest glass, but how to make the glass transparent and flawless, and how to make the glass extremely strong, so that it can be as big as a wall and still be very strong."

“It all depends on the efforts of these children themselves.”

Lady Ruyin stood up excitedly.

"You really taught me how to make Liuli!"

[Oh! The wife of the Lord Ruyin wants to send all her concubines to this women's technical college, preferably to learn the skills of colored glaze. Her family also wants to open a colored glaze pavilion.]

[One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... This family has nine concubine daughters, not counting the concubine daughters. Didn't they say that the Ruyin Marquis's house was in decline? How come they still have so many children? ]

[This is because they are afraid of becoming rich. ]

Xu Jinyu glanced at the wife of the Earl of Ruyin with confusion.

Princess Changle couldn't help but sigh in her heart: What a guy!

The Ruyin Marquis's Mansion is in decline, but that cannot stop the current Ruyin Marquis from being a romantic man. The Ruyin Marquis's name cannot deceive those girls with some family background, but a girl from a poor family can be taken into the Mansion with just a few taels of silver.

But she really didn't know that Marquis Ruyin had so many illegitimate daughters. On weekdays, only the eldest daughter of Marquis Ruyin was seen at banquets in the capital.

Another lady stood up: "You also teach how to make frosting!"

Xu Jinyu blinked, somewhat puzzled.

[Did I miss the point? Isn't the point a means of transportation that can reach the south in one day, something that can make the house as bright as day? 】

[Things that allow people to travel around the entire Daqian in one day. 】

Princess Changle laughed silently. For these ladies, making the house as bright as day and reaching the south in one day was simply a fantasy, something that did not exist at all.

The production method of colored glaze and frosted sugar are real benefits.

The status of those dandy young men who followed Lei Shou changed dramatically because they brought Xu Jinyu's secret recipe to the family. Even if they didn't have any special abilities, they were still the treasures of the family.

If that women's vocational and technical college really taught these techniques, Princess Changle believed that the entire Daqian would be excited.

"Teach, teach everything."

"Then can my daughter come to school?" The mean-looking Lady of Ruyin blushed with excitement.

"can."

As soon as Xu Jinyu finished speaking, the eyes of the ladies in the hall lit up.

“Then I can’t enroll.”

A lady who looked middle-aged stood up.

“Learning never stops, of course.”

Xu Jinyu looked for these ladies not because she was really in need of teachers. She asked these ladies to be teachers because she knew how busy these ladies were.

A qualified mistress of the house is very busy, having to serve her parents-in-law, take care of her children, serve her husband, and manage her business and farm.

Xu Jinyu had his eyes on these ladies and children.

Most of the children of these dignitaries can read and write, so they can just teach them physics and chemistry directly.

Unlike children from ordinary families, few of whom could read and write, the first step for them after entering college was to learn to read and write.

Then they can make a living, and then they can be exposed to things like chemistry and physics.

[With so many people, I still don’t believe that I can’t pick out a few geniuses in chemistry and physics to help me realize my dream of electric lights and telephones, and maybe even cars.]

[I've had enough of this ancient world. I don't know when I can go back. Since I'm not comfortable here, I'll try to change the environment.]

What happened next was like pressing the fast-forward button. These ladies were all in a hurry to go home. After all, they saw how much money Liuli and Shuangtang made.

After these ladies left, Xu Jinyu held the hands of Princess Changle and Princess Wuyang.

"It's up to you two now. Get as many teachers as you can from His Majesty."

Princess Changle and Princess Wuyang nodded heavily.

Princess Wuyang and Princess Changle went straight to Fengtian Palace after leaving the princess's mansion.
