The surprise of intellectuals in the old era has not ended yet. There are also special girls' schools that recruit women of appropriate age in several provincial capitals. However, girls' schools are far away in Guangzhou City, and students can only go home during summer and winter vacations after admission.

When the first girls' school in Guangzhou enrolls students, it is a zone that defines a family. Any family with appropriate girls' age comes to the door and asks whether the other party is willing to let his daughter enter the girls' school to study. If he wants, he will come, and if he doesn't want to, he will not force him.

Although it is not a son but a daughter who goes to school to learn to read and read, it is a pity for the people, but the people have not given up on this opportunity. A daughter who gets married is just a splash of water. The son is the most important thing. However, if a daughter can marry a good family after reading and reading, she can also give some help to her brother or younger brother, and it will not cost much money anyway.

The students of the first girls' school have not graduated yet, and the people who are asking for marriage are about to break through the threshold of their family. All middle and upper-class families come to propose marriage, but they have not agreed. They also think that their daughter can marry a high-ranking official of the People's Army. This is what the Grand Governor's wife said. The Grand Governor's wife said that her daughter has this qualification, so she must have this qualification.

Several new girls' schools were built in Guangzhou City, and students were recruited in five provincial capitals of the People's Army ruling region. The families who had the opportunity in Guangzhou City had just come to say a few words, and they immediately agreed, for fear that the other party would not want their daughters. They had heard about how popular girls who had studied in girls' schools before were.

The enrollment work in the four provincial capitals of Nanning, Fuzhou, Nanchang and Wuchang was also very smooth. These ordinary people did not know the situation in Guangzhou, but they believed in the People's Army. After thinking about it for a moment, they understood the benefits of their daughter entering school to study and read. Almost no family was willing to give up this opportunity.

The old intellectuals in the four provincial capitals were talking about the enrollment of girls' schools, and many older people stubbornly believed that women should not enter the school to study.

Some well-informed people know about Guangzhou City Girls' School, know that the principal of the Girls' School, the teacher is the wife of the Grand Governor and other senior leaders of the People's Army, and also know how popular the students of the Girls' School are.

Some people believe that the main purpose of the Grand Commander's establishment of a girls' school is to betroth women who entered the school to officers and officials in the People's Army to show their gifts.

Originally, these women from lower-class families could basically only marry men from lower-class families. Now, after entering girls' schools, they can marry officers or officials from the People's Army. Their fate has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In fact, for young literati and scholars, they like young and beautiful women, and they prefer talented women who are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

It’s just that they were old-time intellectuals who were still a little loyal to the Ming court in their hearts. In their eyes, everything the People’s Army did was wrong and they had to criticize it.

Most of the intellectuals who were disloyal to the Ming court had already tried to integrate into the People's Army system. In the past, they wanted to become officials of the Ming court but were not allowed. Now, the People's Army is more likely to become officials of the People's Army government. Even if the initial position is relatively low, they believe that their abilities will definitely be able to become high-ranking officials.

...

When students from Guangzhou University and Guangzhou First Girls' School graduated, Fang Nan and Hu Xiaoya, as principals, gave speeches respectively.

In girls' school, Hu Xiaoya told students that women's meaning is not only about taking care of their husbands and children, but also about doing more. Her husbands are officers or officials of the People's Army. They handle housework at home and do not distract their husbands. They can even help their husbands take care of themselves and even run their home industries themselves.

They are graduates of girls' schools, and they have learned a lot in school. There are so many talents in China who can read literacy, and they are not much worse than men. They are even better than most men. All they lack is experience.

"Who said women are inferior to men!"

Hu Xiaoya took Mulan, Mu Guiying and others as an example to tell her students not to become cowardly women who can beat and scold them, and not to treat themselves as a vase, and no matter how bad they are, they should become their husband's good wife.

At Guangzhou University, Fang Nan once again talked about the importance of knowledge with the students who are about to graduate. Only by learning more knowledge can you explore those unknown things, make more contributions to the people, and even be praised by future generations.

Fang Nan's take steam engines as an example. The emergence of steam engines is an important advance in technology. With steam engines, we can quickly produce various cheap goods. Even if the people's income does not increase, we can afford these cheap goods, bringing changes to the people's lives.

Agricultural majors can study crop seeds with higher yields, and the land area planted by ordinary people can harvest more food without increasing.

A few simple examples have made the students who are about to graduate feel hot again. They used to know the importance of learning and scientific research. Now, under the words of the principal, their emotions have completely exploded. They are graduates of Guangzhou University. They are very important. They will bring a lot of changes to the world!

At the same time, students who are about to graduate will also remember other words from the principal. Learning is endless. Even after graduation, they will continue to learn new knowledge and continue to explore unknown things.

Finally, the students have graduated. The first graduates of Guangzhou University no longer have the concept of winter vacation. Some of them will go to various research institutes to become researchers, some of them will stay in school as teachers, and they will also become non-staff members of the research institute.

Various research institutes established by the People's Army are not far from Guangzhou City. For example, the research institute in Foshan. Although there is no train yet, just taking a special carriage on the railway track can quickly send people from Guangzhou City to Foshan.

The students have graduated and will enter various positions and contribute their own strength. In more than a month, a new batch of students will enter the school. The number of new batch of students will be greater. In a few years, they will bring more changes to the land of China.

The model experiment of the steam engine project team has been completed. Next, they will build a real steam engine ship. Before graduation, they have completed the design of the steam engine ship. The steam engine ship designed on the drawings is just a very small ship, but no matter how small it is, it is many times larger than the model.

Fang Nan has approved the funds, and the steam engine project team will enter a shipyard to build the world's first steam engine ship.
