A series of questions made the men around them look at each other in confusion. Even the woman who had just thought about going to a female school to experience something new hesitated.
"Uh... didn't the notice say girls are given priority?"
The eyes of the woman under the notice suddenly lit up. Yes, they can't go by themselves, but they can send their daughter there!
"That's what I said, but didn't you see that they also have an intermediate class and an advanced class? Isn't that obviously prepared for the ladies at home?"
"That's right, you've become a yellow-faced woman, why should you study? It's a waste!"
Such remarks finally aroused the anger of the women around them, and they all accused the man who spoke.
"What are you talking about? Who is the yellow-faced woman? Without us to help you men stabilize the back house, what can you do?"
"Yes! Are there any of you so ungrateful? You don't want us to go to a girls' school, but I still want to go!"
"That's right, I want to go! Isn't it just a matter of having both at home and outside the home? I still don't believe that Hu Sanniang can't do it!"
"..."
Shen Qingqian expected the reactions of the men, but she really didn't expect the reactions of the women.
August 25th is the registration deadline for girls' school. When the statistical results were handed over to Shen Qingqian, she looked up at Axiu in surprise, "So many people in their twenties?"
A total of fifty-eight people signed up for this age group!
In today's general environment, it is common for women to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Generally, women in their twenties have one or two children. You can imagine the difficulties involved in wanting to study at this time.
So Shen Qingqian never thought that there would be so many people around twenty years old, which was really surprising.
"Well, I'm afraid the classrooms for the intermediate class we prepared before are not enough, and we have to hire more teachers..." Axiu said with a frown.
They previously thought it was good to have one class for each grade, but who would have thought that the number of applicants for the intermediate class alone would be dozens, and it would have to be divided into at least two and a half.
The ordinary class setting for girls' schools is 20 students per class, and for the time being, there is one class for each grade.
Shen Qingqian frowned and said, "First organize the entrance exam and see how many people can be left in the end before we talk about asking for a wife."
In fact, the current number of teachers is enough to do the job, as long as the classes are arranged reasonably, but Axiu and the others will have a harder time.
Shen Qingqian always felt that all the women who signed up might not be able to stay. Some might have failed the examination, and some might have given up due to family conflicts, so it was better to wait until the final results came out before making arrangements.
…
On the other hand, the results of the conscription have also come out.
"Hahaha... interesting, really interesting!" Liang Cheng laughed while holding the roster handed down from below.
Shengze also curled his lips.
Niu Manzi didn't know why, so he stretched his neck to see what was written on the roster in Liang Cheng's hand, "General, what's interesting?"
"In this recruitment, the number of our Ezhou men and prisoners is exactly the same. Isn't it interesting?" Liang Cheng explained with a smile.
No one deliberately controlled anything, but the final result was like this. It can only be said to be God's will.
Before, Shengze was worried that the imbalance in the number of people on both sides might lead to conflicts. But now it's better, half on one side, and no matter which side wants to cause trouble, they have to weigh it carefully.
"Isn't this interesting?" Niu Manzi scratched his head, and then quickly said dissatisfied, "No, why do you let me, Lao Niu, train these new recruits this time? It's Tan Cheng's turn!"
"I'll be back from Beijing on the 21st, and I won't be able to start updating more until the 22nd. In the meantime, I'll probably only be able to update once a day. Sorry, guys~"
