Zhao Feng wiped his hands before opening the envelope and taking out the letter.
After seeing the contents of the letter, Zhao Feng suddenly slapped his forehead helplessly.
"Really, how could you forget this?"
This letter was sent from Qingshui County, and it was about that college.
Zhao Feng had already said before that he wanted all the literati in the world to have a place to study. Now the college is almost ready, only the interior decoration is missing.
The letter asked Zhao Feng when the school would officially start and recruit students, and also asked Zhao Feng some questions about the courses in this school.
Zhao Feng originally wanted to find someone to send the teaching materials he had compiled, but he was worried that those people would not be able to handle the matter, so he decided to go there himself.
In fact, some new schools have been opened not only here in the capital, but also in various places. Those schools do not require additional construction. They only need to reorganize some of the original private schools and unite them.
Zhao Feng had already sent people to deliver the local textbooks. In fact, to put it bluntly, there were only two subjects: Chinese and Mathematics.
Since the current teachers have not been trained, Zhao Feng does not dare to boldly teach them more subjects, and at the same time, he must be on guard against them continuing to educate these children according to the decadent Confucian thinking.
If education reforms were not carried out, the entire Zhou Dynasty would never be able to get rid of the restrictions of the four major families.
The reform of education must be from top to bottom, so everything depends on this college.
Zhao Feng plans to go to the college tomorrow to see the current progress of the college's construction, and then train some teachers who have already been selected.
Zhao Feng sighed softly. He finally felt a little free from work. He didn't expect that there would be so many chores waiting for him to deal with.
Since arriving in the capital, Zhao Feng felt that he had never had any leisure time. Either this thing or that thing, Zhao Feng was so squeezed that he didn't even have any time to rest.
Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu felt a little distressed when they saw Zhao Feng's tired expression.
"Husband, don't be too tired."
"Yes, husband, the weather is nice these days, should we go out for a trip to the city?"
Zhao Feng's heart moved and he turned to look at Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu, only to find that their expressions were also a little tired.
This made Zhao Feng feel a little distressed as he held Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu in his arms and said softly.
"I'm sorry, I've been busy with other things these days and almost ignored you two."
"You are busy with your work every day, so you must be very tired, right?"
Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu shook their heads. The two of them were indeed very busy during this period. Not only did they have to run their previous business, but they also needed to take care of the beauty salon.
But this was something that had to be done. After all, they knew Zhao Feng's current identity, and there was no way he could help them with the business. The two of them could only take care of the family business.
Zhao Feng thought of what Princess Jinyang said before and immediately said with a smile.
"By the way, Princess Jinyang plans to take some ladies from famous families out of the city to play in the next two days. How about our family going too?"
Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu were slightly startled, and then they looked at each other and couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Of course!"
"Yes, it would be great if we could go out and play!"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw the two of them agreeing so happily. It seemed that he could take this opportunity to take a good rest.
But who knew that Chen Rou's next words would make Zhao Feng laugh and cry a little bit.
"Husband, there will definitely be many ladies from well-known families going there. We can just take this opportunity to promote our beauty salon!"
"Yes, husband, my sister is right. We happen to be researching some other cosmetics recently. If we can promote them well, we will definitely be able to sell them without worrying about sales!"
Zhao Feng looked at the reactions of the two of them and said with a somewhat dumbfounded smile.
"You two agreed to go out for fun and have a good rest together. Why are you thinking about business and work again?"
"When you go out for fun this time, you are not allowed to talk about business matters, just relax!"
Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu looked at Zhao Feng in surprise, but seeing Zhao Feng's unyielding look, they had no choice but to nod lightly.
Zhao Feng then smiled and took them back to the room to rest.
Early the next morning, Zhao Feng went directly to the college in Qingshui County.
Zhao Feng didn't come over during this period, so he didn't even know that the academy had been built.
The entire college is built with reinforced concrete, and these steel bars were produced by the militiamen that Zhao Feng had set up before.
No matter in any era, changes in basic materials trigger all-round changes.
Before the advent of steel, it was very difficult for workers who dug iron ore to work. However, after the emergence of steel, especially after Zhao Feng used some waterwheels to provide power, these workers dug iron ore more efficiently. .
This also caused the iron products of the Zhou Dynasty to begin to emerge rapidly. It was no longer time to specifically order to limit the number of iron products among the people in order to ensure the supply of weapons needed for the war ahead.
After the steel was produced, except for the part left to make weapons, the rest were all made into various types of steel, steel bars, etc. according to Zhao Feng's design.
Just now, it can be more convenient to forge when making farm tools. At the same time, these steel bars themselves are also some very excellent building materials.
If it is just cement, it can only build a one-story house at most, but with the addition of steel bars, with the construction level of this era, it is possible to build a five- or six-story building!
For example, the buildings in the college now are all the same buildings, and none of them are lower than three floors.
Zhao Feng looked at his design drawings, then at the construction results of the academy, and nodded with great satisfaction.
"You did a good job, now you just need to decorate it."
"This time I have also brought you some other drawings, including tables, chairs and benches, how to arrange the teacher's office, how to arrange the students' classrooms, etc."
Zhao Feng handed those drawings to the Ministry of Works officials in charge of construction, and those officials nodded respectfully.
"Master Zhao, this academy is really unheard of and unseen. I didn't expect this cement to be so easy to use and even be able to build such a tall building!"
Zhao Feng smiled slightly. If they think this kind of building is already a tall building, then shouldn't they be shocked to death when they see those skyscrapers in later generations?
With this thought in his mind, Zhao Feng remembered another thing.
