My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire! Chapter 1226

1226 The Gu clan school....
In addition to the Lantern Festival performances, there were also lanterns and snacks on the street.
This year was different from last year. This year, everyone in kun city had spare money. They didn’t need the Yamen to prepare the materials. They could go and buy the materials themselves.
After the official road was repaired, there was a carriage to the provincial city every day. Of course, the peddlers in the provincial city would also take the initiative to sell things in the kun province.
From the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, people in kun city started to get busy.
They had learned how to make snacks from the Gu family. Although they had signed a ten-year contract and had to give the Gu family money for the next ten years, the Gu family did not take much. After they gave the money, they could still keep a large sum for themselves.
The Gu family would not take their money for the delicious snacks that they had made from these snacks.
For example, the old couple at the noodle stall, in addition to the few flavors that the Gu family had taught them, they had also created one of their own. They did not have to pay the Gu family for this flavor. They had also learned how to mix the fillings. In the morning, they sold steamed buns and fried dumplings. These were all their own income.
Gu shouxin handed over the Lantern Festival to Qian Liangduo and his sisters, while he pondered about the school.
Although kunzhou had few people, there were still children. His wife and daughter were right about one thing. Children were the hope of the great Zhou. Development had to start from their infancy.
Therefore, he recruited a group of scholars to set up the school, not for the kun state official school, but for the Gu family to open it themselves.
In the future, if there were more capable people coming out of the school, wouldn’t it attract people to come from thousands of miles away to study? What was there to worry about the development of kunzhou?
However, Cai Xiaolian suggested to him that not only the Four Books and Five Classics, but also other courses. If they wanted to set up a school, they couldn’t be the same as the schools in other states. They had to have their own characteristics.
Therefore, Gu shouxin called his family to discuss the initial scale of the school.
Grandma Gu’s idea was that since they were running their own business, they should make it bigger and contract a Hill so that the master and the students could live there.
Grandpa Gu thought that grandma Gu’s suggestion was good.
Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. However, this student would not just be a child waving at them.
When Gu Xin heard her sister and mother’s words, she immediately thought of something and said, ” “Our school is divided into three parts. One part was to learn through enlightenment, while the other part was to choose after enlightenment. One could choose to learn a skill or take the imperial examination. At the Enlightenment stage, what you learn is the same. After the Enlightenment stage, some things have to be added to the must-learn, and some are learned separately according to your own choice.”
Her proposal was also passed.
Then, grandma Xiao nudged grandma Gu. “Old Gu, since you’ve already contracted a mountain, and it’s very empty if it’s full of boys, why don’t you take in some young girls? There are a lot of little girls in the family area, and they don’t have much to do at home. It’s good to learn something.”
Grandma Gu was stunned for a moment before she nodded. “Second brother, the Emperor is letting you make your own decisions, so why don’t we break the rules and accept some girls? Although he couldn’t take the Imperial examinations, after learning and reading, he wouldn’t be blind when he grew up. If you want to mess with our family, make it big.”
Gu shouxin’s thinking was not pedantic. He never believed that it was a woman’s virtue to have no talent. The children of the Gu family were all literate. However, in the past year, when he went deep into the homes of the people, he found that there were very few ordinary literate girls. There was even a girl in the worry-solving Pavilion who was silly enough not to read and was tricked into signing a contract to sell herself.
