A few days later, the basketball and football that Zhu Jingyuan wanted were ready.
After Zhu Jingyuan inspected and accepted it, he asked the factory to produce a batch on a small scale.
Then Zhu Jingyuan went with his grandfather to inspect several major schools in Xintianfu.
Zhu Jingyuan had three purposes for going there.
Inspect schools, give away and promote new sports equipment, and select girls that suit your needs.
The first one I want to go to is of course the Hope School that I spent my own money to build.
Starting from the first year of Ankang, after more than two years of construction, it is now in normal operation.
Zhu Jingyuan's Hope School was originally intended to be a free school for needy families.
Not only is schooling free, but food, clothing, housing and transportation are all free.
They live in the school dormitories for free, eat in the school cafeteria for free, receive school uniforms and daily necessities for free.
The society here in Xintianfu is very average, and there are basically no families in real need.
After the end of the world war, large-scale development and construction activities began, and there were few families in need in the local area.
The students who can still be selected and sent to Hope School are mainly orphans who have lost their families and relatives, as well as children whose parents have completely lost the ability to work.
There are already at least one group of such schools in Ming Dynasty, Dashi Country, Xintianfu, Tiannan, Nanyang, Japan, and Korea.
It's a group, not a school, because these schools are separate for boys and girls.
The Ming Dynasty began to promote collective schools since the time of Emperor Shizu, but the model has always been divided into male and female branches.
Although Emperor Shizu opened almost all possibilities to Ming women, he never demanded forced equality.
So far all schools are separate for boys and girls.
The number of girls attending school has continued to grow over the past 100 years, but still outnumbers boys.
At the same time, the higher the grade, the fewer girls there are.
The ratio of boys to girls in primary school is close to three to two, in middle school it becomes two to one, and in college it is only three to one.
In Zhu Jingyuan's Hope School, the gap between the number of men and women is even smaller.
Because this school also functions as an orphanage, the orphans caused by accidents are regardless of gender.
Xintianfu Hope School is located in the southeast corner of the inner city, with two courtyards on the north and south of a street.
There is a boys' school in the south and a girls' school in the north. Both primary and secondary schools are put together and have a ten-year system.
The university is still under construction.
Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang's car entered the boys' school first.
The Supreme Emperor, as well as the most powerful prince now, the key is that this prince is still the financial backer of the school.
These two people coming to visit together is of course the biggest event in the whole school.
The mountain chief and the gentlemen had been preparing for several days, and now they were greeted in the courtyard with the gentlemen.
The students also stood in square formations according to grade and class.
The gentlemen all wore scholar's cyan rags, and the students all wore dark blue shorts and gray trousers.
Children from a few years old to teenagers should originally wear short clothes, and they will change to long clothes when they become adults.
The standard for adults in the Ming Dynasty was originally the traditional age of fifteen or sixteen.
If you go to school, it will be counted as graduating from middle school.
Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang greeted the gentlemen, and then took a special look at the children.
They seem to be in good spirits and their faces are rosy, indicating that they have eaten and drank enough.
At the same time, the accompanying photographer took photos of the scene and prepared to publish news later.
After seeing the status of the students, Zhu Jingyuan and his grandson visited the school under the guidance of the school principal and gentlemen.
Then give the new football, basketball, volleyball and corresponding facilities to the mountain chief here.
Ask him to arrange for teachers to play while the students are having a break.
Zhu Jingyuan is not worried that no one will play. There is a lack of entertainment tools in this era, and the ball is really a good thing.
Especially football, playing this action is originally in line with the preferences of active teenagers.
In the past, immature football was played by many children.
Zhu Jingyuan looked at the three piles of balls wrapped in the mesh bag, and an inexplicable thought came to his mind:
Can this land produce people who are good at football...
There is not much difference in talent between human beings. Whether a certain sport can form a trend depends on the environment and conditions.
It's really not easy to play football in a big city like the Steel Jungle.
On the contrary, there is enough space in the countryside.
Zhu Jingyuan stayed at the boys' school all morning and went out to the girls' school opposite in the afternoon.
When he reached the middle of the road, Zhu Jingyuan was naturally thinking about the pros and cons of separate schools for boys and girls and combined schools.
And in the current cultural atmosphere of Ming Dynasty, will the joint school model be accepted by people?
Should you try to arrange what kind of personnel you want to conduct a comparative test on the learning efficiency of students in joint schools and branch schools?
At the same time, after Zhu Zhongliang went out, he immediately whispered in his grandson's ear:
"I'm going to the girls' school soon. The gentlemen of the school will definitely put the best children at the front.
“In our Ming Dynasty, this standard of excellence includes one’s own appearance.
"So the girls standing in the front row must be pretty and smart.
"Don't forget to pay special attention this time, and write it down in your mind when you see something you like.
“The photographer will take pictures of the queue, and when you go back, you can look at the pictures and click on the girl you like.
"I will arrange for someone to ask the other party privately later. If he is willing to follow you, I will send him to your palace.
"It's just that...if you really like it, then you shouldn't be unhappy."
Zhu Jingyuan's thinking suddenly stopped, and he quickly slipped from the study of social issues to the selection of women.
But this is also the purpose of his trip, and if this matter is not confirmed as soon as possible, grandpa will definitely talk about it every now and then.
So it's better to make a quick decision.
With quite complicated emotions, Zhu Jingyuan and his grandfather entered the girls' school he invested in.
This is a purely girls' school. The principal, teachers, students, dormitory supervisors, and chefs are all women.
However, the school itself does not actually have many obvious feminine features.
From the layout and decoration of the campus, to the clothing of teachers and students, and all course content, they are exactly the same as those at the boys' school opposite.
The biggest difference between the two sides may be that the housekeepers and chefs are different.
The inspection process in girls' schools is the same as that in boys' schools.
First accept the salutes of the mountain leader and gentlemen, and then go to observe the situation of the students together.
The next step should be to visit the school and give away the sports equipment.
However, this step-by-step arrangement secretly included things that had nothing to do with the inspection itself.
Zhu Jingyuan stood in front of the groups of girls and young girls and observed them carefully as his grandfather asked.
The girls at the front are indeed the ones with more outstanding images.
Although they are all wearing the most ordinary shorts and trousers, with their hair tied in the simplest ponytails, and all of them have natural looks without any makeup, you can still see many girls with outstanding looks.
Rather, just because the clothes are the same and ordinary, no one can rely on makeup to enhance their image, nor can they rely on external means to narrow the gap, which allows girls with naturally beautiful images to stand out.
Zhu Jingyuan's preparation was to make a quick decision, so he quickly targeted the two girls.
One is tall and has long legs that suit Zhu Jingyuan's liking, and has beautiful facial features.
The skin is a bit tanned, which means that you should like outdoor activities and your physical fitness should be relatively good.
At first glance, he seemed a bit dazed, but upon closer inspection, he found that he was absent-minded.
The other one is similar to Yu Muxue, with a figure that is good for fertility and not too short.
The face and facial features are also quite beautiful, but his personality seems a little timid.
Zhu Jingyuan basically made up his mind and then continued the follow-up inspection process.
After running around according to the procedures of the boys' school, I returned to the palace at four o'clock in the afternoon.
An hour later, the photographer developed the photos and sent them to Zhu Jingyuan.
Zhu Zhongliang approached Zhu Jingyuan and urged with a smile:
"How's it going? Is there anyone you like? Circle all the ones you feel like..."
Zhu Jingyuan already knew it in his mind. He found the two girls he had observed during the day and directly picked up the pen and circled them:
"Just these two."
Zhu Zhongliang's mood at this time was the same as when Liang Yunying watched his son choose a woman. He asked in surprise:
"Are you so sure?"
Zhu Jingyuan nodded with certainty:
"Ok, deal."
Zhu Zhongliang was stunned for a while, and then slowly realized that Zhu Jingyuan's character was like this.
So he said rather dissatisfiedly:
"We can't be so casual, and then carefully select, choose four from here first, and then choose four from each girls' school.
"After inspecting all the schools, you can select the final two from these candidates."
Zhu Jingyuan shook his head subconsciously:
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. Just these two are enough. I'm quite satisfied."
Zhu Zhongliang said firmly:
"What will you see later that you are more satisfied with? And you said before, grandpa will arrange this matter, you listen to grandpa."
Zhu Jingyuan was speechless and helpless. He could only look at a few group photos for a while and then circled two more people.
In the next few days, Zhu Jingyuan followed Zhu Zhongliang to visit the main schools in Xintianfu.
Depending on the situation of the students, new sports equipment will be given as gifts, and finally a few girls will be selected.
In a few days, I visited all the universities and major middle schools in Xintianfu.
The information of the girls pre-selected by Zhu Jingyuan and his personal photos have also been sorted out.
These things were placed in front of Zhu Jingyuan together again.
Zhu Zhongliang said with great satisfaction:
"The person in charge has already asked, and these girls have no objections. Now it's up to you to make the final decision."
Zhu Jingyuan pulled the photos and information in front of him and recalled his first impression at that time.
In the end, I chose the first girl I saw on the first day.
Her name is Wang Ya. Just by looking at her name, you can tell that she comes from an ordinary family. She didn't have a literary name.
He is seventeen years old this year and is a native of Shuntian Prefecture, Beizhili, a native of the Ming Dynasty.
My father was a soldier who died in the World War. My mother fell ill after his father's death and died three years ago.
My mother's treatment cost me all my father's pension, and she also owed foreign debts to several relatives.
At that time, the world war was at its end but not over yet. It was the most difficult time for the people of Ming Dynasty.
After her mother died, Wang Ya went to work as a child laborer on the farm.
Wang Ya went to primary school for several years, and her grades have always been very good, and she knows most common words.
You can record the work of farmers who are working, and you can copy and post notices and read them out.
She has a lovable image, her family environment makes her very sensible, and she doesn't suffer much on the farm.
After the World War, the imperial court found her when they re-counted the orphans of fallen soldiers in accordance with Zhu Jingyuan's suggestion.
It happened that Zhu Jingyuan's Hope School also started recruiting students, and Wang Ya, who was smart and had a good image, was sent there.
After reading the information, Zhu Jingyuan realized that the reason for the child's tan was not because he liked sports, but because he worked as a child laborer.
I have been taking care of this in school for at least two years, and my skin is still one shade darker than many students.
So although she shouldn't suffer much, it's impossible for the farmer to keep her child idle.
There were no restrictions on working hours at that time, so it was definitely a busy job that required getting up early and working late at night.
She probably just does less physical work than the average child laborer.
There are mainly orphans in my hope school, and there are probably not a few who have similar experiences.
Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite...
Zhu Jingyuan decided to keep Wang Ya without much thought.
With such a complicated experience, he is also very sensible and should be able to take care of the affairs of his harem.

Yu Muxue and Liu Muyun neither have the ability, it should be said that they have no interest.
Then I selected one from other information.
Li Erni, her name suggests that she is from an ordinary family, but she does not have the painful experience of Wang Ya.
She is the daughter of a commoner family from Huangzhuang, Xintianfu, and was selected from the Huangzhuang public middle school in Xintianfu.
The living conditions of farmers in Xintianfu are not comparable to those of local wealthy merchants and nobles, but they are exceptionally wealthy and stable.
This girl has a round face that is full of flesh, and her skin is white and pink with red in it.
There is a pair of big, dark and bright eyes on his face, which makes him look very smart.
The key figure is also what I like, a pretty good fertility type.
He just turned fifteen this year, which means he still has potential to be tapped.
Zhu Jingyuan handed the two selected materials to his grandfather:
"That's it."
Zhu Zhongliang opened it and looked at it, nodded with a proud smile and said:
"Grandpa said at that time, don't choose those two directly. What will you do if you meet someone you are more satisfied with later?
"Isn't this the case now? Grandpa has some foresight, right?"
Zhu Jingyuan smiled and cupped his hands and said:
"A family with an old man is like a treasure. This is a wise saying."
Zhu Zhongliang laughed and waved his hand, asking someone to arrange concubinage for Zhu Jingyuan.
It is winter in Xintianfu now. It is the coldest time of the year in Xintianfu. The temperature is about between 7 and 14 degrees.
It's not cold at all in winter, so Xintianfu's schools don't have a long winter vacation.
Just after the end of the school year, a total of ten days of vacation was arranged in order to arrange matters for further studies and examinations.
After Zhu Zhongliang discussed with his grandson, he sent the two girls to Zhu Jingyuan during the school holidays.
Li Erni is still young and may have to go back to school, and Wang Ya should also go to college.
By default, the prince and his concubines all have to graduate from college.
