Chapter 576 I've figured it out!
"I've thought about it, and there shouldn't be any major problems in this regard." Mu Xin Nuan's face lit up with joy and excitement. If he could approve of her idea, then they would definitely be able to open it successfully.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"For those who only learn basic literacy, this course is free. Other courses will be charged monthly. In this way, the girls can support themselves."
Duanmu Chuze was speechless again. Support himself?
He had to admit that Mu Xin Nuan's idea was quite bold, and indeed, it was a very effective method.
In this way, neither the government nor Mu Xin Nuan would have to bear too much cost; as long as there was a suitable place to teach, it would be fine.
However, Duanmu Chuze had more to consider than Mu Xinnuan.
The establishment of a girls' school is a precedent in Dayong, and I'm afraid there will be great obstacles from the very beginning of the enrollment process.
Even though everyone in that girls' school was a woman, it was inevitable that they would face a lot of skepticism at first.
Seeing Mu Xin Nuan's expectant and excited face, Duanmu Chuze couldn't bear to dampen her spirits. He silently considered other feasible solutions. Since he had said he would support her, he naturally had to take action.
Of course, although Mu Xin Nuan has put forward such an idea, it is impossible for her to start preparing for it in the short term.
After all, Yanzhou already has Chang Le Fang and these newly built schools, which is already enough of a headache.
After discussing the matter with several ministers of the Council of State the following day, Duanmu Chuze directly assigned the newly expanded ten li of land to Xingwen District.
The reason it was named Xingwen District is so that everyone can immediately understand what this place is.
In addition, several separate government offices were set up here, some responsible for patrolling and guarding, and others specifically for collecting taxes. Liu Yi and his men received their orders and began slowly sifting through the ranks of lower-level officials. Since they had several months to spare, they weren't in a hurry and began their selection process at their own pace.
Just as Mu Xin Nuan had suggested at the beginning, a three-story library was built in the very center of Xingwen District.
There's a water trough underneath, in case of a fire, so that everyone can put it out in time and save the books inside.
In addition, Duanmu Chuze ordered a high wall to be built around the library to prevent anyone from deliberately causing trouble.
The library was the first building to be constructed, and considering its function, it couldn't be used for a month or two after completion. Otherwise, if moisture seeped out, the books inside would be ruined.
After Mu Xin Nuan shared her thoughts with Duanmu Chu Ze, she began to actively prepare.
First, she conveyed her intentions to several close noble ladies, who then recommended a few suitable female tutors. Next, she asked Aunt Fang to select several well-mannered nannies or maids from within the Chang Le Prince's residence, so they could enter the girls' school and teach them proper etiquette.
Since Mu Xin Nuan began preparations, there have been some rumors circulating outside.
However, the group kept their mouths shut, only saying that the princess wanted to find some proper female tutors, but no one was willing to reveal what she was going to do or how she would do it.
Madam He had naturally heard some rumors, but she was not bold enough to think about such an earth-shattering institution as a girls' school.
However, in order to repair her relationship with the princess, she made a special trip to the Chang Le Prince's Mansion and recommended several female teachers.
After Mu Xin Nuan inspected the person she brought and had Aunt Fang take her down for a trial, she found her to be quite good and readily agreed.
When Madam He saw that her actions had indeed won the Princess's favor, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, the Xie family in the capital seems to be having a rather difficult time.
Putting aside the financial strain, I've heard that the Emperor has punished several members of the Xie clan to varying degrees. The most severe punishment was for one of them being directly dismissed from his official post.
This might have just been a normal appointment and dismissal, but in the Xie family's eyes, the Emperor's actions were clearly a warning to them.
After receiving this news, Mrs. He was naturally somewhat worried.
Fortunately, the emperor only severely punished a few and did not implicate the crown prince.
However, after this experience, Madam He also understood a principle: no matter how glorious or prestigious a family may be, it is powerless in the face of imperial power.
Think about it: over the years, although the Wang family has kept a low profile in the capital, they have always been the center of attention and admirers wherever they go.
It wasn't just because they were the Empress's family; more importantly, the Wang family themselves knew how to be self-disciplined, which allowed them to enjoy wealth and status at all times.
After this incident, it is said that the Crown Princess has become much quieter, and His Highness the Grandson seems to rarely go out, preferring to stay in the Eastern Palace to study and write, only occasionally going to the Emperor to pay his respects.
Even though Madam He was unhappy that Xue Ji was pregnant, she dared not do anything to her at this moment.
Firstly, the master was aware of the methods he had used, but he felt it was unnecessary to turn against his legal wife because of a few women and illegitimate sons.
Secondly, it was also because the master still had some respect for her at that time.
But now, the master is able to have another child in his middle age, which is what he is looking forward to. If I really do lay a hand on Xue Ji, I'm afraid the master will hate her from the bottom of his heart.
Madam He had figured it out herself. Now that her children were all grown up, even if Xue Ji gave birth to a son, it would not pose any threat to her son's position.
With such a background, what future could one possibly have?
Although Madam He was still uncomfortable, she had come to a realization. As long as Xue Ji gave birth to the child safely, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, the master's attitude towards her would gradually improve.
In this way, she, as the legal wife, would not need to resort to any tricks to regain her husband's favor.
Thinking back on all these years, I realized that I hadn't been able to get any children from my concubines. Although my husband didn't say it, he must have felt uncomfortable about it.
Since that's the case, having one son or two is the same, so why make things harder for yourself?
Madam He came to her senses and stopped forcing the other concubines in the household to use the contraceptive soup.
After learning about this, He Jiajun's attitude towards Madam He indeed improved considerably.
In fact, at his current age, even if he could have more children, how many would he have?
