Aunt Zheng brought the food.
The family of three sat down and had dinner.
As soon as the meal entered her mouth, Shen immediately felt that the fatigue in her body had disappeared a lot.
"By the way, mother, I want to ask your opinion on something." Shen Shuangshuang said suddenly.
One old and one young looked at Shen Shuangshuang.
"That's right, today I asked Aunt Wang about the Li family. I casually asked her about her little baby going to elementary school. Their family is planning to send her little baby to study in the town."
Shen nodded.
"Reading is a good thing." He replied.
"Yes. I asked about the situation of other families by the way, and found that there are many families in the workshop who want to send their children to elementary school."
Shen raised his eyes and looked at Shen Shuangshuang.
"What do you think, mother, if we set up an elementary school in the village?" she asked.
Shen was stunned.
"Our family has no foundation in Dahe Village. It would be beneficial to have a half-school education in the village."
Shen's heart moved.
"It is not an easy thing to run a school." Saying this means that he agrees.
Shen and her daughter-in-law are the only two female members of the Shen family, and they really have no foundation.
If you want to take root in Dahe Village and have an influence on Dahe Village and even several surrounding villages, setting up a school is indeed a good way.
Moreover, in the long run, cultivating some talents through the academy will also be beneficial to them.
There must be some capable people among them, and in the future, there will be friendship between the two sides when selecting scholars or even candidates.
Some wealthy families set up ethnic schools, such as private schools.
Hearing her mother-in-law's approval, Shen Shuang's eyes lit up.
"If you just learn it, it shouldn't be difficult."
"Just buy a house in the village, decorate it, and invite a boy to teach there."
"When the school is set up, the salary for the employees in our workshop will be reduced by half. If our family has more slaves in the future, and if we have a family and have children, we can send them to school for free."
"Nearby villagers can also take their children to enroll in elementary schools and let them undertake the training on their own."
"By the way, for some employees in the workshop, especially those who are capable but illiterate, we can also let them go to elementary school to learn some simple characters and arithmetic. This is regarded as employee training."
There are many employees in the workshop who actually perform well, but because they are illiterate, many tasks cannot be assigned to them.
Uncle Wu had chatted with her more than once, regretting that there were few literate people under his command.
Since it’s hard to find such people, why not train them yourself?
The more Shen Shuangshuang thought about it, the more excited she became.
I feel that when I have money in the future, I will not only run an elementary school, but also an academy.
Like the Su family, he became a prominent figure in Shangyang Town.
Of course, matters regarding the academy may have to wait until the Shen family clears up...
After hearing Shen Shuangshuang's words, Mrs. Shen's eyes moved.
"Over at Huichun Hall, we can also send a few medicine boys there to teach them how to read and do arithmetic."
This time, only two of the four medicine boys sent by Mr. Yin could read, and not much.
It was okay for them to stay in the backyard and help her with medicines, but they couldn't go to the front hall to get medicine.
If there is a chance, let them learn to read, and they will be able to help more in the pharmacy in the future.
"Of course!" Shen Shuangshuang said with a smile.
"Then I'll talk to Uncle Wu to figure it out and see how we can arrange it."
"Um."
The sixth day of April.
Shen Shuangshuang got up early.
I went to the new workshop and after making sure it was OK, I went to Dahe Village again.
Counting room.
Shen Shuangshuang told Uncle Wu about his plans to establish an elementary school in Dahe Village.
Uncle Wu was very surprised when he heard this.
Then came excitement.
"If you can build an elementary school in the village and only accept a few cultivators, everyone must be grateful to Madam!"
"This is a good thing that will benefit the villagers, and the village chief will definitely support it!"
Shen Shuangshuang smiled and nodded.
"I already have some ideas."
"Come here to discuss it with you, and then prepare to talk to the village chief."
Neither she nor her mother-in-law lived in Dahe Village, but Uncle Wu often lived in the village.
Uncle Wu is now not only the manager of her workshop, but also represents their Shen family in a certain sense.
The next step is to build an elementary school in the village, and Uncle Wu has to keep an eye on it.
"What do you think, madam?" Uncle Wu asked excitedly.
Before selling himself out, he was a scholar.
Although I failed to achieve anything, I still gained a lot of insights from the book.
In the beginning, he relied on those insights to protect himself and his family when famine spread across the land.
Later, because he could read and write, he won the appreciation of his wife and became the workshop manager.
Now that he heard that his wife was going to open a Mongolian school in the village, if he hadn't been in charge of Zhuangzi, he would have wanted to become a master in a Mongolian school.
Shen Shuangshuang expressed his general thoughts.
Uncle Wu nodded while listening, and occasionally gave some suggestions of his own when Shen Shuangshuang had problems.
Uncle Wu had attended a private school after all, and his suggestions were of great reference value.
The two discussed it for almost half an hour.
After basically deciding on the plan, Shen Shuangshuang asked Uncle Wu to tell the workers about her plan to build an elementary school and arrange for some employees to go to the elementary school for training, saying that she wanted to hear their opinions.
Uncle Wu agreed.
In the next two days, Shen Shuangshuang went to Su Yuyan and consulted with this professional about the precautions for running an elementary school, and asked Su Yuyan to help her find qualified elementary school teachers.
Anshi and Cheng Lei heard about this and came to join in the fun.
Shen Ji Maocai Restaurant.
"It's a good idea to send employees to elementary schools for training."
"When the Mongolian School is launched, I will also arrange for a few people to attend classes in our hot pot restaurant." Cheng Lei said.
He didn't think reading was that important before. It was only after he opened a hotpot restaurant that he realized the importance of being able to write and do math.
Apart from other things, after a customer orders a dish, he or she needs to register it on the menu in time before adding more dishes.
If the clerk is illiterate, it will be more troublesome to deal with it.
When serving food, you have to compare it with the customer's order menu.
If you are illiterate, you will have some trouble when picking up food.
Shen Shuangshuang has visited hot pot restaurants several times, so he naturally knows the situation.
"Why is it so troublesome?"
"You just need to gather them together for training and let them read all the words on the menu."
"Only those employees with potential are sent to Mongolian School for systematic learning. In the future, we can arrange them into more important positions."
Shen Shuangshuang and An nodded in agreement.
Their Su family had many servants, and the servants gave birth to many children.
The family has been selectively nurturing those children since childhood, so there is no shortage of available talents.
But the Shen family and the Cheng family, especially the Shen family, can be said to have no foundation at all.
This is the only way to quickly train some usable people.
Madam Shen is really capable of coming up with such a method and putting it into action so quickly.
"That's right. With so many things going on in the store, how can you have so much time to go to Dahe Village to study?" Cheng Lei answered.
"The key training target... If you really value it, there is no harm in sending it to Dahe Village to study for a while." (End of Chapter)
