Chapter 359 Enlightenment
Chapter 359 Enlightenment
"You want to help people run a clan school?" Lord Yang looked at his little daughter in surprise. Because she looked more like him,
Therefore, his special love for the twins far exceeded that for his eldest son.
Of course he knew that his little daughter was helping her adoptive brother run the business.
And I also know that they have set up a college in the south of the city,
Although the dean was just a small juren, being able to run the academy for free was something that not everyone could do.
"How did you think of setting up a clan school? We have our own clan school. Does your brother want to study? He can come to our clan school."
Qian Duoduo was very happy to have such a pair of parents who did not spoil her mood. They first asked her the reason instead of denying her without any reason, saying that women were not suitable for doing such things.
Of course, when they learned that she was going to do business and did not object, she knew that this was a sign of open-minded parents.
"Why do they want to set up a clan school? No, why do you want to help them set up a clan school? And it's not even a clan school for our family?"
When Qian Duoduo heard what Yang's father said, he immediately felt a little ashamed.
Although her family had a clan school, she had never paid attention to it, or rather, she had never thought about it at all.
Suddenly she felt a little ashamed. Should she express her gratitude appropriately? Although the Yang family didn't need this little thing from her, it was at least a token of her appreciation.
I'll let Murong Yun arrange it later.
Although Qian Duoduo thought so in his heart, he did not say it out loud.
She lowered her head slightly, trying to hide her inner panic, while also giving her brain time to sort out her thoughts so that she could better organize her words.
Her eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
After a moment, he raised his head slightly and said firmly: "Where I grew up, there used to be a clan school, which belonged to the Qian clan school.
The Qian family is good at business, but few people in the family are good at reading.
The head of the Qian family once half-jokingly said: "Perhaps this is because our ancestors have already noticed this problem, so we have learned more about business than the knowledge points of the imperial examination."
He believes that it is precisely because of the influence of this family tradition and education method that the descendants of the Qian family pay more attention to practical business operation capabilities rather than academic research.
Although they also attach importance to cultural education, they place more emphasis on business training.
This unique family characteristic also enabled the Qian family to achieve remarkable success in the business world and become a prominent family in the local area.
And it almost monopolizes all kinds of business there.
However, since ancient times, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have the lowest status. Although Qian's ancestors had a fourth-rank official, the current generation of Qian has fallen into a more difficult situation.
But when the disaster struck, the Qian family helped everyone wholeheartedly, some even emptied their own savings, but they did not satisfy the people's evil.
They even took it for granted that since the Qian family had money and food, they should share it with everyone.
The government did nothing, and they did not dare to rob the government, but they dared to burn down our village overnight, robbed our food like bandits, and even occupied our houses, leaving us as refugees. "
Qian Duoduo continued: "They didn't even think about the help we had given them.
All this is because of their greed and cruelty.
Can you imagine? Among these people were our in-laws and cousins. My adoptive parents had no choice but to take my brother and me on the road of refugee escape.
In this way, the elderly and children suffered the most. A few years ago, my brother wrote back and said that he wanted to set up a clan school, but there were no students.
How sad it is.”
Qian Duoduo narrated all this calmly, with no extra expression on his face, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs.
Mrs. Yang and Father Yang sat there and listened quietly. They had never thought that their daughter would encounter such a thing. Mrs. Yang was even on the verge of tears.
Qian Duoduo held Madam Yang's hand to comfort her, then smiled and said:
“Actually, I don’t have too many thoughts. Seeing them reminds me of the Qian Clan School where I used to be.
Seeing these children now, I feel like I should do something to help them.”
She took a deep breath and continued, "I know this little bit of power is insignificant, but as long as it can bring them a little warmth and hope, I will be satisfied."
After saying that, Qian Duoduo shook his head gently, as if trying to get rid of the heaviness brought by those memories.
"Of course, if they disagree, I will choose a suitable location in the south of the city and open another school for my servants and their children to study.
They are not required to know the Four Books and Five Classics, but only to be able to read and understand the principles of life."
"Thank you for your hard work, kid. That's a very good idea. It doesn't require everyone to be the top scholar. As long as everyone can read, write, and understand things, that's great." Lord Yang said slowly, his eyes revealing a hint of approval and satisfaction.
He looked at his little daughter in front of him, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.
Although this child did not grow up by their side, her adoptive parents educated her very well.
She has unique insights and ideals. She was not brought up according to the idea that "a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent". Instead, she has developed a magnanimous character, which is really gratifying.
"Just do your best, I will always support you." He encouraged, with a gleam of trust in his eyes.
"First, you need to clarify the goals and concepts of clan studies. The purpose of clan studies is to train the children of the family, let them receive a good education, improve their own quality, and contribute to the development of the family.
Therefore, the curriculum of ethnic studies should focus on the cultivation of moral education, cultural knowledge and practical skills.
At the same time, clan studies should also emphasize family traditions and values, so that children can understand the family’s history and culture and enhance family cohesion.
Secondly, we need to choose the right teacher. The teacher of the clan school should have noble character and profound knowledge, and be able to set an example and guide the children to grow.
Since they are asking you for help in finding a husband, it means they don't have a suitable husband.
Leave this to me, I'll arrange it.
Thirdly, a good learning environment should be provided. The school building of the clan school should be spacious and bright, with complete facilities, to create a comfortable learning atmosphere for the children.
You have to do this well. Don't be stingy with money. If you don't have enough money, you can come to me.
At the same time, sufficient books must be provided to meet the learning needs of the children.
It is best to separate them according to their learning status, putting those who want enlightenment together, and putting those who are old enough and want to take the imperial examination together.
In addition, clan schools must strengthen management and formulate strict rules and regulations to ensure the learning order and safety of children. "
