Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 145 The Development of the Academy

"Let's talk about this later, but I still don't want to leave. After all, this place is still developing. If I leave, I'm afraid the next person will mess it up, and then the people will not be able to live a good life again."

"After a few years, when all the rules here are finalized, even if someone with different ideas comes, she won't dare to change them at will."

Gu Yao also knew that the academy had not yet achieved success, so she was reluctant to give it up.

Fortunately, she had made some arrangements in her daily life, so she also knew some news that she would be the next governor.

"That's great, my lady. Actually, I can't bear to leave here either. Besides, our whole family is here, so it doesn't matter where we go. This is our home."

Gu Yao thought that since they would still be here for the next three years, they had to continue making money and also buy some land.

As we have more and more children, we will not be able to support ourselves if we don’t buy some land.

Fortunately, the farmland in Shicheng is quite large, so it is possible to buy some wasteland.

Her family has several farms, so it would be a good idea to buy some wasteland and hire more people to farm for them.

Sure enough, by the end of the year, Gu Yao received an appointment notice that she would have to stay here for another three years.

The Gu family was very happy to receive the news and the whole family celebrated again.

"That's great. Although we have only been in Shicheng for three years, we have already gotten used to it here. Many of our children were born here, so we are really happy that you will stay here for another three years." Mother Gu was happy just thinking about it.

"That's what I'm planning on doing. We'll still be here for the next three years so we can buy some more land. We'll have more and more children, and if we don't have enough land, there won't be enough to go around."

"Don't worry, I've already made inquiries. Besides, our shop can open branches. In the future, our family will have more and more businesses, and we don't have to worry about A Pingqu's betrothal gift."

Gu Ping blushed at the side. She was going to get married at the end of next year. She was looking forward to it but also quite shy.

Gu Ping also knew that she would need a betrothal gift to marry three husbands. After all, the three husbands were her real husbands, and the betrothal gift for the eldest husband was especially high.

Moreover, her husband's family and her mother were old friends, so the betrothal gift could not be neglected.

"Don't worry about the betrothal gifts. They will definitely not be less. Besides, Ah Yang is also a genuine official. If the betrothal gifts are less, it would be unfair to her."

Father Gu is now eager for Wang Qillang to marry him as soon as possible so that his granddaughter will have someone to care for her.

For him, it is better to get married first and then start a career. Although his granddaughter is a scholar, he still hopes that she can get married early and give him a great-granddaughter.

Gu Yao thought that Gu Ping would probably get married soon, and it seemed like time had passed so quickly.

Han Yuqing felt a little envious. After all, Lin Wulang's daughter was about to get married, and his daughter was only a few years old. He didn't know when he would be able to drink the son-in-law's tea.

In fact, Gu Yao’s first few children are quite close in age, but the younger ones cannot get married because the eldest one hasn’t done so yet.

After all, there is order of seniority, although in Gu Yao's heart all his children are the same.

But there is no order without rules. She cannot change the rules, so she can only adapt to them.

His eldest son must get married first so that the younger children can be arranged to get married.

The eldest child got the most in the family property, there was nothing that could be done about it, but she could only give them shops and land when they were ten years old, which could be considered a subsidy.

In the second year, Shicheng began to hold the imperial examination. This time, it was a time to test the true ability of the academy and see how many people could pass the examination to become tongsheng and xiucai.

Because this year is a big event for the academy, Gu Yao has set some rewards.

She plans to hold a monthly exam every month, and as long as the top few are ranked, there will definitely be rewards.

She also used money as rewards. As long as you ranked in the top three, you would receive ten or twenty taels of silver, and even books.

Those who pass the exams and are in the top ten will also receive rewards. Although the money will be less, they will also be rewarded with potato flour, which is food.

So when this announcement came out, it caused a sensation throughout the academy. This was money, and it was exciting just to think about it every month.

"Did you see this notice from Sister Zhao? There are rewards for the top ten. Do you want to give it a try? If I can get these rewards, my family will feel more relaxed."

The lady was very excited after reading the notice. Her family was relatively poor, and she was able to study at the academy for free. Later, her family became a little better off.

She is copying books again, so she has been reading all the time, and now she is also planning to take the imperial examination, but she has never had the confidence.

He was excited by these announcements, knowing that Lord Gu was doing this for their own good.

If they want to succeed, then they certainly cannot disappoint the expectations of the adults and the academy.

She also did not want to disappoint her family's expectations, because among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, only those who were officials and educated would not have their families bullied.

Things are already very good in Shicheng because of Lord Gu, but as the saying goes, there are no fish in clear water, so there is still some oppression, but it is not that serious.

For ordinary people like them, even a little bit of oppression can make it impossible for them to turn over a new leaf.

Studying is the only way out for ordinary people like them, but studying is too expensive. Some families can only support them to study for two years so that they can come to the county to work.

However, being able to study for two years was already very good, so she thought that if she could pass the examination to become a tongsheng or xiucai this time, she could continue her studies, and her family would live a good life.

After hearing this announcement, the students of the academy are working hard to get a future.

They also knew that the exam was coming up soon, and if they could achieve success, they would become more and more prominent in Shicheng.

Gu Yao took advantage of the time to take a walk around the academy. She was very satisfied with the atmosphere there. She liked women who were hardworking and motivated.

As time went by, Gu Yao became more generous and more teachers came to the academy, and these teachers lived quite well in Shicheng.

Gu Yao provides food and accommodation, and even allocates houses for them, so the conditions of these teachers are getting better and better.

"Please rest assured, sir. Our academy will definitely have more students and scholars in the next year's imperial examination."

The Master also hopes to train more scholars. You know, Lord Gu is so generous. If they can't contribute, they will be ashamed and probably won't be able to accept these benefits.

Gu Yao smiled and said, "Although I also hope that they can succeed, they are still young after all. It doesn't matter if they fail the exam this time. There is no need to put too much pressure on them."
