Chapter 384 Sima Ao Opens the Academy 3
Sima Ao smiled and replied: "Of course, my family's 'Little Golden Lotus' will also have a companion."

"Hey! Thank you so much, my lord!"

Hearing Sima Ao's permission, Xiaopang was so excited that he could not wait to tell his daughter and his wife about it immediately.

Because Simaao Academy opened in the outskirts of the city, on a mountain, and just opened not long ago.

Naturally, not many people know that there is a "Xiangshu Academy" opened on the hillside in the outskirts of the city.

When it came time to start school, there were only a few people who signed up.

Sima Ao invested all his family's funds and investment in the establishment of the school. It can be said that the "Xiangshu Academy" carries Sima Ao's hopes and ideals.

Now that he can't recruit students, Sima Ao is very worried and lost, and falls into self-doubt in life.

Dongfang Yu'er knew very well that it would not be long before Heavenly Court would come to arrest her.Seeing Sima Ao's disappointed eyes, Dongfang Yu'er wanted to help Sima Ao again before being taken away.

Dongfang Yu'er believes that the "Xiangshu Academy" cannot receive students, the problem is not the academy, but the lack of publicity.

..............................

The air in the morning is very fresh, and the scenery on the mountain is also very pleasant.

Because it was too far away from the residence, Sima Ao lived in the college during the school term.

Birds were already looking for food on the roof, Sima Ao was awakened by the chirping of birds.

Sima Ao woke up, fetched a basin of water, and began to wash up.

After Sima Ao washed up, he cooked breakfast for the students, which consisted of gruel with pickles and turnips.

In order to save money, Sima Ao didn't hire anyone, and did all the work by himself. It can be said that he is both a teacher and a handyman.

Fortunately, there were not many students, so Sima Ao was still busy.

After Sima Ao was busy cooking, he was busy cleaning the classroom and preparing lessons.

The first day of school starts and the students come early.

"Student pays homage to sir!" The student greeted Sima Ao vigorously and greeted him!

"For those of you who haven't eaten breakfast, go to the back kitchen and finish your breakfast before going to class."

Sima Ao was afraid that the students would be hungry, so he asked the students who hadn't eaten breakfast to eat some porridge before going to class.

About 10 minutes passed.

After the students have finished their breakfast, they sit on the assigned seats.

....................................

Today, Sima Ao taught his students to write the word 'person'.

Sima Ao preached in the classroom that the word '人' is very easy to write, with one stroke and one stroke, it is like a person standing upright with his left and right feet stretched out.

Sima Ao was afraid that the students would not understand, so he demonstrated the word 'person' himself.

"Oh! It turns out that standing still and stretching your legs is a 'human'."

The apostrophe of the word "人" stands for oneself, and Nai refers to others; therefore, a person includes himself as well as the other party; if a person only has himself and no others, he is not a person.

As expected of a good teacher, Sima Ao taught students to be principled and reasonable through the stroke order of the character '人'.

Sima Ao's interesting teaching method allows students to understand the word "person" at once, which is written in this way; they also understand that the word "person" is derived from the image of a person; they also understand that people must speak principles and reason of.

If I add a vertical line to the character '人', it will be a'; day' word.

Sima Ao's teaching methods range from simple to complex, from complex to deep.

The seriousness in the classroom should be serious, and the cheerfulness should be cheerful, so there will be laughter from time to time in the classroom.

Students like it very much, this special and interesting teacher.

..........................................

Found it, found it, here it is.

"Hey, it's really just like the picture on the poster, it's a good academy!"

Sima Ao, who was teaching, heard a commotion outside, as if many people had come.

Sima Ao didn't know what was happening outside to make such a noise, and wanted to go out to have a look, but he was worried about the safety of the students.

"Teacher, go out and have a look. You sit here, don't come out." Sima Ao told the students to stay in the classroom and not to come out if anything happened. "After Sima Ao explained, he came to the gate of the college.

Why, such a person suddenly came?
Sima Ao saw the people in the city rushing here like they were going to a market.

There are young men and old women, all with their own children.Some came on foot; some came in sedan chairs; still others came in carriages.

What surprised Sima Ao was that these people were holding a poster in their hands, with their academies painted on the posters.

It turned out that Jingjing thought of a good idea and asked Li Fulai to write a poster for Sima Ao.

(Rather than Jingjing’s good idea, it’s Dongfang Yu’er’s idea.)
Li Fulai painted the original appearance of the "Scholarly Courtyard" on the posters, and the posters spread all over the city, attracting the people in the city to watch them all at once.

People with children who want to go to school at home naturally come to the college to enroll.

Sima Ao asked the common people in astonishment: "What are you talking about here?"

Seeing Ruya Sima Ao, the common people asked excitedly, "Are you the dean of the Scholars Academy?"

Sima Ao made a bow and replied, "Yes."

"Isn't the tuition fee for recruiting students here very cheap?" the common people asked again.

"Yes. You only need ten sticks of repair, that is, the money for ten sticks of bacon. If you don't have money, you can use items instead, but the price must be equivalent to ten sticks of bacon." Sima Ao replied.

Some people were so excited that they cheered when they heard that the tuition fee was only ten sticks of bacon, while others were full of sorrow.

In fact, the tuition fee for only ten pieces of bacon is really not expensive, and most families can afford it.But some people from poor families have not been able to eat a bite of meat for a year, so how can they get ten pieces of bacon?

Sima Ao followed Confucius' idea of ​​"teaching without distinction". Students who really can't pay the tuition can use their labor to pay for it, that is, they work for the college and go to school at the same time.

There is a small stream behind the college, where Sima Ao opened a field.

Sima Ao wanted to use this land to grow some vegetables, corn, wheat and other crops to supplement the school's expenses.

When the poor people learned that they could use their labor to pay for it, they were moved to tears.

Unexpectedly, in just one day, the Shuxiangyuan was full of students.

Knowing that it was Jingjing's good idea, Sima Ao, who was busy going to class, had to ask his wife Jiang Min to express his gratitude.

(It's Dongfang Yu'er's idea rather than Jingjing's good idea.)
Every day, Sima Ao lived a fulfilling life, teaching students how to read during the day, and taking advantage of the moonlight at night to lead the students to dig the soil and grow vegetables.

Our elder brother was degraded to a mortal, but he could still hold a pen, a weapon, and a hoe. He was capable of literature, martial arts, and farming. He really became a god-man.

Wenqu Xingjun, who is in the same position in the sky, was shocked by Sima Ao's spirit of bending and stretching!

There were more and more students, and Sima Ao couldn't do it alone, so Jiang Min brought his daughter to help.

After Jiang Min brought his daughter, Xiaopang also brought his family to help.

Xiaopang is not good at teaching literature, but he can teach martial arts. He can be a martial arts coach, or he can do odd jobs if he can't.

There is only one housekeeper left in Sima Mansion, who looks after Sima Xiang.

Sima Xiang is very supportive of his son's idea of ​​starting a school, teaching and educating people.
