In the first year of Xingqing, Jinling Lecture Hall and Jinling University were established. The following year, the Song Dynasty Naval School and Jinling Normal School opened at the beginning of the year. Both of them recruited students from the entire Song Dynasty. As a few years passed, Jinling Normal schools attracted a large number of young students to enroll for further studies, especially civilian children, who accounted for a large number.
Although it is summer vacation, a time to rest and escape the heat, there are still people coming and going on campus, and there are students everywhere with books under their arms. Due to the heavy academic load and the fact that they are only about to graduate in half a semester, the students even forget to eat and sleep in order to achieve good results.
In one part of the library, Wen Yinan was sitting in front of the window, looking at the books in front of him and calculating attentively on the paper.
"The diameter Ab is 10 meters, the chord length Ac is 6 meters, and the bisector of the angle Acb..."
There is a desk next to Wen Yinan, and there are several teachers and students gathered around the desk to read books. Bookshelves separate tables and chairs, and labels such as literature, mathematics, and history are clearly visible on the bookshelves.
Although it is summer vacation, there are still many people in the library, and students are trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible to avoid being surpassed by other students, or failing the exam and failing to graduate.
"...An auxiliary line should be made..."
Wen Yinan picked up a pencil and a steel ruler and started drawing.
The imperial court established compulsory education and founded Jinling Normal School. Scholars from all over the country flocked to it. The number of students admitted in the first and second phases was 2,000. After graduation, they were all assigned to schools in various places.
However, starting from the third period, compulsory education was on the right track, and Jinling Normal School resumed its two-year academic system.
Although Wen Yinan is a woman, the imperial court attaches great importance to women's application for Jinling Normal School, and local officials dare not ignore it. Although her family blocked it, the local officials protected her for political achievements and allowed her to go all the way to Jinling Normal School, and her dream came true.
It was because she felt the difference in knowledge between her and many male students that she studied hard to prevent herself from not living up to her reputation.
"Boom!"
A gentle knock on the table sounded, interrupting Wen Yinan's meditation. She turned around and saw that it was her classmate Liu Min.
"You're here too. Where have you been? Why are you sweating profusely?"
Wen Yinan glanced at his classmate who was sweating profusely, and then glanced out the window. The sun was shining brightly and it was full of heat. No wonder Liu Min was sweating profusely.
"I went to the bank to change money, but it was inconvenient to keep the money on me and not easy to use."
Liu Min wiped her sweat and put the books and library card on the table.
Compared with the stubbornness of Wen Yinan's commoner family, Liu Min was a gentry child, but her family fully supported her attending a normal school.
Wen Yinan was stunned and subconsciously asked.
"Bank? Is it easy to save money? Is it easy to exchange money?"
She came from a small place and had heard of banks and silver coins, but had never seen them.
"Convenient! It's very convenient to save and change money. There are special windows for students and soldiers. Exchange your things quickly, otherwise you won't be able to use them! Look, these silver and copper coins are so beautiful that I can't even bear to spend them!"
It was cool in the library, and Liu Min's fever had dissipated a lot. She took out a silver round and a copper round and handed them to Wen Yinan.
"Bank of China!"
Looking at the Great Wall and flowers above, Wen Yinan couldn't help but feel moved.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty worked hard to improve everything, and many of them were convenient measures, just like this bank, which made her feel fresh and excited.
"You didn't exchange all the silver coins and copper coins, did you?"
It seems that she also has to go to the bank to get a passbook, and it doesn't cost any money anyway.
"There are both Huizi and silver coins. If they are all silver coins and copper coins, they will jingle and be too heavy!"
Liu Min looked at the classmates reading around him and lowered his voice and said:
"Yitan, where will you go after graduation? Should you stay in Jinling or go back?"
"It doesn't matter, it's the same wherever you go. What about you, are you staying in Aurous Hill?"
Wen Yinan said casually that she was following the school's assignment. Perhaps, she will stay in school and continue her teaching career.
"I heard from the teachers that the monthly salary of the students who graduated last year was 10 Guan, and those who went to remote and poor areas were 13 Guan. According to the teacher-student ratio of 1:30, the entire Song Dynasty needs about 300,000 teachers. The annual expenditure is 30 to 40 million yuan. It seems that the emperor has made a big decision!"
Liu Min took the silver and copper coins and put them away, then whispered.
Although the salary is only 10 guan per month, under the control of the imperial court, the value of Huizi will no longer depreciate. And compared to the average income of 5 guan a month that ordinary people work hard for, teachers only have two or three classes a day and one day off a week, so they are respected. Most normal school students can accept it.
And for a girl like her, the salary is good, it's relaxed and respected, and most importantly, she can make a living on her own, which is also the most important thing.
Wen Yinan nodded, knowing that what Liu Min said was the truth.
"I heard that in many remote places and rural schools, there are not that many teachers for the time being. They are all teachers from the original private schools. They only have half of their salary income. Now there are three normal schools in the entire Song Dynasty, and 7,000 people graduate from normal schools every year. Health, it won’t take more than a few years!”
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Liu Min shook his head and said happily:
"I heard that the Song Dynasty's newly expanded territory overseas has reached Africa and the Indian Ocean. The new territory requires a large number of immigrants. To set up schools, teachers are naturally needed. I have not been to the sea yet. The world is so big and I want to see it too! The imperial court Encouragement, and the navy of my Song Dynasty, it is really exciting to think about it!"
Wen Yinan nodded, his heart throbbing.
Newspapers published news about the Song Dynasty navy's pioneering colonization, saying that it had reached the Indian Ocean thousands of miles away. The news about immigration is also overwhelming, which makes young people like them feel that everything is changing with each passing day and there is fresh news every day.
Wen Yinan was lost in thought when Liu Min next to her touched her arm.
"Oops! That self-righteous playboy is here again!"
Wen Yinan was startled. She raised her head and felt panicked when she saw the person opposite.
"Miss Wen, I knew you were here."
The male student opposite smiled slightly, looked around, and then whispered:
"I'll treat you to dinner at noon."
Liu Min remained calm while Wen Yinan nervously observed the teachers and students nearby and felt relieved when he saw that no one was paying attention to them.
"Call me Classmate Wen. It's too hot, and besides, I don't have time."
After hesitating for a moment, Wen Yinan replied coldly.
She came to Jinling Normal School to learn things, not to make friends with the opposite sex.
"It's hot at noon, so let's have dinner. I'll wait for you. I'm fine anyway."
The male student is handsome, fair-skinned, personable and extremely chic.
"Master Chen, you're fine, I'm fine. You've already disturbed my study by being so entangled!"
Wen Yinan turned serious without realizing it.
This Chen Shixian, a dandy from Lin'an City, somehow managed to get into Jinling Normal School. He didn't study hard all day long, just idle, and fell in love with her again before the summer vacation.
I heard that this person’s uncle was Chen Duanchang, the imperial censor Zhongcheng who had already become an official. His uncle had become an official. Why didn’t he, his nephew, help him become an official?
There were rumors outside that the emperor had canceled Enmeng, a young man from a powerful position, from joining the officialdom. Now that I think about it, it's not groundless.
"Miss Wen, don't be angry. I won't pester you. Just read here and settle down."
Chen Shixian didn't mind at all, he still had the spring breeze blowing on his face and was full of grace.
A woman with such a cool personality really fascinated him and made him feel itchy.
"Classmate Chen, please respect yourself. Let me say one more thing, please call me Classmate Wen. I have no interest in you, and I am not your prey. Liu Min, let's go!"
Wen Yinan looked around, stood up, took his things, and left with Liu Min.
The Song Dynasty advocated martial arts, which was widely publicized in newspapers. Even the new generation of young women in the Song Dynasty were impassioned and uninterested in pretty girls like Chen Shixian with red lips and white teeth.
Wen Yinan and Liu Min left, took forty or fifty steps forward, sat down at another table far away, and began to read books.
Chen Shixian also pretended to pick up the book and followed him, then sat down opposite Wen Yinan.
"Classmate Chen, what on earth are you going to do?"
Liu Min closed the book and asked with a frown.
She and Wen Yinan were both from wealthy families and had seen the world, so they didn't like a playboy like Chen Shixian very much.
"administrator!"
Wen Yinan raised his eyebrows and shouted directly.
The senior brothers who were reading all raised their heads and focused their eyes on Wen Yinan and the others.
"What's up?"
The black and hard administrator came over. His legs seemed to be lame. He stared at Chen Shixian with cold eyes.
"It's okay, it's just a small incident between classmates."
Chen Shixian was also a little panicked in his heart, but he was still pretending to be cool on his face.
Chen Shixian's lies were directly rejected by Wen Yinan.
"Administrator, I am a math major and he is a history major. I don't know him at all. He often harasses me and I can't study well. Please take him away."
Wen Yinan's words made the administrator's face suddenly darken.
"Do you know the consequences of harassing female students?"
He could see clearly just now that this oily-faced Chen Shixian was following two female students in such a sneaky manner that he definitely did not come here to study.
"Which of your eyes saw me harassing her? You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"
As a playboy from Lin'an City, Chen Shixian has a lot of playfulness in him.
"I have been observing you since you entered the library. Are you still justified in harassing female students? If you become a teacher, how will you mislead your students?"
Heiyou waved his hand forcefully and said coldly:
"Come on, come with me to the Security Department. What to do with you is the school's business."
"You can't wrongly accuse someone like this! My uncle is Chen Duanchang, the censor of the dynasty!"
Chen Shixian slammed the table and shouted immediately.
"Isn't your uncle already serving as an official? The current censor Zhongcheng seems to be Li Zongmian and Mr. Li Xianggong."
Wen Yinan added softly from the side.
"I don't care whether your uncle is the censor or the prime minister. The country has national laws and the school has school rules. Follow me to the Security Department immediately, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Hei took another hard look at Wen Yinan and Liu Min.
"Two female classmates, please come with me and be a witness."
Wen Yinan and Liu Min looked at each other and had no choice but to stand up.
"I won't go, what can you do to me? Believe it or not, if I tell you to get out tomorrow, can you become an administrator?"
Chen Shixian's expression changed, he stood up and was about to leave.
"Really not going?"
The administrator moved a step and stood in front of Chen Shixian.
"I really won't go! You're a cripple, what can you do to me?"
Chen Shixian was very impatient, so he called the administrator with his hand, and the administrator used his grasping hand to twist Chen Shixian's arm.
"It hurts, it hurts, stop it! Spare your life!"
Chen Shixian screamed in pain and shed tears.
Wen Yinan looked at the embarrassed Chen Shixian and snorted coldly.
Such an embroidered pillow shows mercy everywhere, who do you really think you are?
"Nothing's wrong, everyone should read well!"
The administrator grabbed Chen Shixian's arm and turned back as he walked.
The administrator escorted Chen Shixian away, and there was a burst of cheers in the library.
"Librarian, listen carefully. I will go to the school to sue you and make you get out in a few days! Please beg me quickly, maybe I will consider letting you go!"
Chen Shixian rubbed his arms as he walked. This boy, his hands are really strong!
"Administrator, it's this dude who's causing trouble! Don't worry, we'll vouch for you and won't let anything happen to you!"
"Administrator, we will testify for you. How come the dignified Jinling Normal School accepts everything? If such a person becomes a teacher, isn't this a loss of teacher ethics?"
Wen Yinan and Liu Min followed, and they encouraged the administrator one after another.
"Two female classmates, thank you. No need. I act impartially, who dares to tell me to get out tomorrow?"
The administrator shook his head and proudly said to Chen Shixian:
"Listen carefully. As a librarian, I am not someone who can be opened at will. To tell you the truth, I was born in the Jinling Lecture Hall. I fought on the battlefield in the northwest and experienced life and death. I was injured and retired in the battle of Hanzhong. Yes. I don’t believe it, who dares to fire me for no reason! You should worry about yourself, harass female classmates, threaten the administrator, and either record a serious demerit or be expelled. You should admit your mistake."
Chen Shixian was crying and couldn't say a word.
The graduates of the Jinling Martial Arts Hall are all disciples of the Emperor. Who dares to cause trouble for them?
This time, he kicked himself onto the steel plate.
