I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

After hearing Rong Xiuyun's words, Pei Yuan could understand what he was thinking.

"You misunderstood. Those children didn't go to the workshop. And when such young children go to the workshop, adults don't let them do anything."

Rong Xiuyun looked at the pharmaceutical workshop. If there were a group of children working inside, he would be really worried.

But after reacting immediately, Rong Xiuyun suddenly looked at Pei Yuan, and even Wuyou on the side looked incredulous.

"So, all the children from these ten villages are studying here?"

Rong Xiuyun's voice seemed a little dry. Although he could tell that this little Zhangzhuang was different from other places, he didn't expect that every household here could allow their children to study.

Pei Yuan saw the shock of the two people, but he didn't mean to laugh.

After all, when this school was under construction, he was also shocked when he heard the enrollment plan discussed by Zhu Qiuqi, Sun Hong, and Zhang Kui.

There is no such school in the entire Qingshui County, even in the capital city.

Although there are girls' schools in the capital, the things those children learn are different from those in Xiao Zhangzhuang School.

In Xiao Zhangzhuang School, boys and girls studied together at first. Later, when they grew older, they slowly studied separately.

Although their little Zhangzhuang has changed, they will not be too restrictive towards girls.

But the situation was different throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty. The imperial examinations were still only for men.

Thinking of this, Pei Yuan could understand.

Nowadays, the Great Zhou Dynasty is not a prosperous era, but there are more signs of decline.

Under such circumstances, women may be restrained even more severely.

What they can do now is to treat the girls here well so that they can settle down and live their lives.

"Yes, they all study here. Most of the young people in this hundred-mile radius work in the workshops here. If the family has extra money, they will naturally send their children to study here."

Rong Xiuyun thought carefully about the village with a cement workshop they just went to. It was not close to Xiaozhang Village.

If it weren't for their fast feet, they wouldn't be able to reach Xiaozhang Village now.

But despite this, Rong Xiuyun still took a look at the villages he passed.

I found that no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, there was no switchboard for them in the village.

However, it is not ruled out that girls will be forced to do housework at home. Rong Xiuyun hesitated for a while and then asked tentatively: "Are girls also studying here?"

Pei Yuan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Rong Xiuyun to find out so quickly.

However, Pei Yuan still appreciates Rong Xiuyun's ability to discover such a situation.

If Rong Xiuyun was a fool, then he would have to question what Rong Xiuyun said before.

Thinking of this, Pei Yuan also nodded.There was no need for him to hide this matter from Rong Xiuyun.

"Indeed, in our school not only boys can come to study, but girls can also come. When they were young and literate, they studied together."

"We will separate when we grow up. After all, boys will read the Four Books and Five Classics and will take the imperial examinations in the future, but these things will not have much effect on women."

"So the school also offers other subjects for these children, such as account book reading or embroidery skills. Boys are not willing to take this path, and there are also crafts such as carpentry, ironware, pottery, etc."

"The children here are all children of ordinary people in the countryside. They are not as good as the children of aristocratic families in the capital. Not everyone can accept them after studying hard for more than ten years."

"Let's not talk about whether the child can withstand that kind of pressure. Even the family may not be able to support a child for more than ten years. Only those children from poor families can succeed. More children will become like their parents. One of these ordinary people."

"The biggest purpose of our school is to give these children the ability to settle down and make a living. This is true for boys, and it is still true for girls."

Rong Xiuyun and Wuyou both fell silent. They looked at the closed iron door with complicated expressions in their eyes.

They are all men, but none of them are arrogant people.Of course we know how restrictive this era is to women.

And this school will eventually become the biggest supporter for those children.

After a long time, Rong Xiuyun asked softly: "Are there no children who want to be inspired to take the imperial examination?"

"Of course, we will teach such children, whether they are boys or girls. Boys will take the imperial examination in the future, and girls can also stay in school and become wives. Anyway, our school happens to be short of wives."

Rong Xiuyun nodded and looked towards the inside of the school unconsciously.

But it was so quiet inside that not a single child could be seen.Only the occasional sound of reading from a classroom made Rong Xiuyun believe that this was indeed a school.

Seeing that their deep thoughts were drifting to the school, Pei Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay, if you are interested in this school, I will bring you over to have a look in the future."

"This is when the children are in class. If we rush in, we are afraid that it will affect them."

Wuyou's ears twitched, "Why did I hear the sound of children playing inside?"

"That's where the children are in physical education class. The playground is at the back, near the back mountain. I'll take you to see it after the children get out of school in the afternoon."

Although the two of them wanted to visit the school now, they also knew that Pei Yuan was right.

If they rush in at this time, they are afraid that it will affect these children.

The two of them no longer persisted, but followed Pei Yuan towards the canteen.

"Brother Pei, didn't you say you should go check out the pier first?"

Rong Xiuyun was actually very interested in the dock built with cement. Pei Yuan had said before that simple cement might not be able to support much weight.

If this is the case, then what is wrapped in the cement at the pier?

But seeing Pei Yuan leading them to a place full of food and beverages, if it weren't for the huge roof above their heads, Rong Xiuyun would have thought they were back in a busy county market.

"It's getting late, aren't you hungry?"

Pei Yuan didn't say it was okay, but now that he mentioned Rong Xiuyun and Wu Wu, he felt hungry.

"Where is this place? Why is there a small market?"

Hearing Wuyou's question, Pei Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"You don't know this, but this is not a market, it's the canteen of our Xiaozhuang. We have a lot of people working in workshops here. We go to the workshops to work, but we don't have the experience to go back to the workshops."

"No, our workshop is actually for the workers in the workshop. We guarantee favorable prices and clean and hygienic food."
