A few days later, two news was published in the new issue of Daqin Metropolis Daily, which attracted the attention of many people.

One is that the newspaper has published a new journal called "Hundred Schools Forum", editor-in-chief An Yuliang. The journal collects the national policy of the twenty most famous scholars in the Qin Dynasty today. These famous scholars are the most famous figures in the hundreds of scholars today, including "The Remarks of Zhou Li" by Confucian disciples, Kong Fan, a representative of the Confucius and Mencius school, and "The Remarks of Five Virtues" by Guan Chonglou, a disciple of Zuozi. These articles are published simultaneously in a book, which will naturally attract the attention of a large number of scholars. Therefore, many people who saw this news gathered to more than a dozen newsstands in Xianyang to buy one first to take a look.

This journal is not thick, only forty pages, and it is priced at forty dollars, which is slightly expensive. However, for many truly famous celebrities, there are a group of wealthy merchants and even civil and military officials who support them, so this can only be regarded as change.

In this era, scholars who are truly famous must be from a relatively wealthy family. People like Chen Ping and Qiu Cheng can only be considered very down-and-out, and have not had a prominent reputation. They are almost at the bottom of the study group. They are not old and have basically no fame. They can only do some literary and literate jobs to make a living.

For example, a famous sage like An Yuliang, Qin Shihuang wanted to invite him to be an official, but he was unwilling to go there. The students he taught were all children of the families of the nobles and nobles of Xianyang, so naturally there was no shortage of money.

There are also leaders of various sects such as Kong Fan and Guan Chonglou. They were often received by the emperor to meet famous scholars who went to the court to debate. They each gathered a large group of disciples. They had no idea how many disciples were, and they also had people to offer food, clothing, housing and use. It was impossible for them to lack money.

There are also some aides or guests in the palaces of princes and princes, such as Sun Shujiu, Huangfu Que, Chen Ping and others who defected to Chen Xu. They are all rich now. They use newspapers to wipe their butts in the toilet. How can they lack money? Especially for Huangfu Que, who is in charge of the Qinghe shops and Qinghe restaurants across the country for Chen Xu. If the money can wipe their butts, he will definitely try it.

Therefore, for real celebrities, if you are interested, you must buy this professional journal and take a look.

So soon, some newsstands spread across the area where officials and scholars gathered in Xianyang City quickly lined up in long queues to start buying the Hundred Schools Forum.

The book has certainly caused a lot of controversy, but the audience is not as wide as the newspapers, one is because of the price and the other is because of the audience.

Because not all scribes are interested in governing the country, what ordinary scholars like is the various news stories and various news from all over the world published in newspapers.

There is another news in this issue of the newspaper that attracted the attention of many people, that is, Xianyang Women's College recruits female students aged eight to fifteen.

This is an unprecedented big news.

Although there has not yet been a dregs of the theory that women have no talent, such as virtue, the subordinate status of women determines that they cannot receive formal education like men.

Of course, most of the daughters of nobles, nobles, or wealthy families, read and read, but they ask for advice on learning to read and teach at home. They don’t teach much complex content, just to read and write. The daughters of ordinary families also learn to spin, weave, and sew clothes and other content.

The news from Xianyang Women's College specifically stated that it only recruits unmarried ladies, and in addition to reading and writing, there are many courses such as musical instruments, singing, painting, dancing, cutting, embroidery, etc.

Regarding this incredible news, many people began to inquire about each other about the origin of Xianyang Women's College and why they dared to take such a big fuss about the world.

Soon a well-informed person found out the exact news.

Since Xianyang Women's College was opened by Qinghehou.

After confirming the source and authenticity of the information, the entire circle of ministers and wealthy people in Xianyang suddenly became turbulent.

What is the purpose of Qinghehou opening this women's college?

Is it just to recruit so many unmarried young ladies just to teach singing, dancing and painting?

Don't you want to do something else by the way?

However, no matter what Qinghehou wants to do if he recruits so many female students, whether it is good to sleep or fun, many people always feel that this is a very good opportunity to get close to Qinghehou.

A creature like a daughter is not worthwhile, poor families cannot afford it, and rich families don’t care, but it would be great if they can have a relationship with the Marquis of Qinghe. It would definitely not be a wife, but it would be good to be a concubine. If you get some rain and dew, you will give birth to children in the future. Although you are born in a vain, you are still in the marquis’ bloodline and you will still receive some special care.

This kind of idea may not care much or be unable to expose the face of aristocratic groups such as kings, princes, princes, and nobles, but for merchants, this stimulation is too great.

Therefore, all those who are not interested in the Hundred Schools Forum turn their attention to the Women's Academy. Those literati who usually like to read gossip news are even more excited and went directly to the place where the Women's Academy they found out, and wanted to see what kind of fandom this college that Qinghehou used to train concubines was.

So soon, countless scholars with long robes and high crowns gathered at the entrance of a quiet large courtyard near the southeast of the city.

This mansion used to be a fifth-rank official's residence, covering an area of ​​about twenty acres, with many pavilions and rooms inside, and lush flowers, plants and trees, as well as ponds and streams, and the environment is quiet and quiet.

The mansion has been simply renovated. The original plaque hanging above the gate has been taken away. A new plaque was replaced with four neat small seal scripts of the Women's College, which looks more delicate and gentle.

There were several burly soldiers holding swords and spears standing on both sides of the gate, guarding the gate like sculptures without looking sideways, turning a blind eye to more and more gossip scholars who came to inquire about the news.

With a dense sound of horse hooves and rumbling wheels, a luxurious four-bridle carriage came along the street under the escort of a group of guards.

"Distract quickly, don't stop the Marquis' car!"

The soldiers guarding the gate waved their long spears to scold the crowd and retreated. Soon Chen Xu's carriage drove into the Women's Academy. There were two little girls sitting beside him, and a monkey was squatting on the railing. His eyes were squirting around him, and he kept squeaking at the crowd.

Shortly after Chen Xu's carriage entered, several more carriages followed one after another. The carriages were actually several little princesses, and the escorts were all palace servants and eunuchs.

"Wow~" As the princesses' cars drove into the academy, all kinds of surprises and speculations were louder.

"Maybe the princesses also want to study in the Women's College?"

"It seems that's true!"

"Did someone guessed wrong before?"

"Well, even if the Queen of Qinghe is a disciple of the Immortal Family, she would never marry so many little princesses home as concubines, right?"

"Of course, it must not be what I was guessing at first!"

Many people at the door began to whisper.

"Look, another young lady is here!" The crowd dispersed again in a noisy manner. A luxurious carriage came along the street under the escort of the guards, and soon passed through the crowd and drove into the academy.

"This is the legitimate daughter of the Meng family. It is Wan Niang who was rumored a few days ago to marry the Marquis of Qinghe!

"Wow, the little lady is so beautiful. As expected, she is as beautiful as the legendary Chinese beauty. She will surely be charming in the future!"

"Get out of the way, another little lady is here!"

"Who is this person?"

"I know that this is the youngest daughter of Gao, the Ministry of Revenue. Nian Fang Shisan, I heard that he had been betrothed to the second son of the Secretariat's envoy...."

"Look, someone is here again!"

"Isn't this Miss Wanwan from Qinghe Theater? She is over fifteen years old and I heard that she is a princess of Qi, who has been married to her. Could it be that she also came to study?"

"I don't know, wait for the viewing before talking..."

As one carriage after another came one after another, in just half an hour, nearly twenty carriages had already entered the Women's College one after another. Among them were the daughters of the royal family of princes and princes, and some doctors and officials, all of them were as said in the newspaper, all between eight and fourteen and fifteen years old, and they were all young and innocent, obviously unmarried girls.

As the carriages of these little ladies entered the courtyard one after another, various sounds of playful and talking gradually came from inside. These beautiful and seductive voices made the group of people outside look on tiptoe. Unfortunately, the trees inside were lush and could not see anything. Many people slowly dispersed after watching for nearly a half-hour, and soon spread the situation they saw.

In the south of the city, a large number of wealthy merchants migrated from the six countries, salt merchants, grain merchants, ceramics, cloth, medicinal materials, and various wealthy men gathered. Qi Mao, who was commended by the emperor as a charity merchant during disaster relief, also lived here, but it was just an inconspicuous small house.

A half-old carriage drove into Qimao's mansion. After the coachman stopped, a scholar in his thirties jumped out of the carriage and sorted out his clothes.

"Mr. Yang is here, please come inside, the master is in the mansion!" An old servant led the scholar into the room.

In the living room, Qi Mao was discussing with several merchants in gorgeous clothes. When he saw the scholar walking in, he quickly stood up and bowed together.

"Don't use too much etiquette for everyone!" The scholar waved his hand. Qi Mao arranged for the servant to serve tea after sitting down. Several other merchants who were discussing the matter stood up and said goodbye.

After several merchants left, Qi Mao smiled and said, "Mr. Yang came to the humble house, Qi was in a misfortune. Please forgive me!"

"I dare not, Yang is a poor scholar, thanks to Brother Qi and other business colleagues who are usually taken care of by the public, so he was spared from being left on the streets. Now Brother Qi is being taken care of by the Emperor and the Marquis of Qinghe, and his success is just around the corner. Yang will also need Brother Qi to support him in the future!" The middle-aged scholar said calmly with a teacup on his face.

"Mr. Yang said nothing, Mr. Yang, a merchant, even though he knew a few words, he was just a despicable person. Thanks to Mr. Yang's guidance on business, Qi has achieved this glory today. This time the establishment of Maofeng freight and loans was also a reminder for Mr. Yang, otherwise he would have missed this good opportunity..."
