Chapter 50 Academy Reform
The Mid-Autumn Festival has completely turned into a complaining conference. It turns out that there are so many trivial things to do in the academy. To sum up: there is a lack of people!
Please forgive her for her lack of management experience and negligence. Song Yanjin did not drink and remembered every detail.

After the holiday, Cui Yuanshang and Manager Liu went to the slave market and recruited a large number of people.

After finishing the test papers, Song Yanjin took a rare moment to relax and sat down weakly on the tea table.

Baizhu fanned herself carefully with the cattail leaf fan.

When Song Yilang arrived at the teacher's resting yard, he saw the girl who had no image at all. He couldn't help but criticize her, "You are the headmaster now. Everyone is watching your every word and action. How can you be so rude?"

"I'm sorry, I'm used to being at ease."

Song Yanjin closed his eyes and enjoyed the cool breeze brought by the palm-leaf fan. It would be better to ignore it!

Song Yilang felt exhausted when he was getting along with his daughter who had not been brought up by his side. He knelt down and poured himself a cup of tea. "I asked you to go back to the Song Mansion to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, why didn't you come back?"

"If Dad is here to question you, turn left when you leave."

The unanimous agreement states it clearly, and I don't understand why the Song family is still involved.

Song Yilang raised his cup and took a sip of tea with a guilty conscience. "It's better not to reply. Forgive your disrespect for the time being. Your aunt is coming home for the Mid-Autumn Festival and said that she wants to send your cousin to Qingyun Academy. You can handle this matter."

I knew that the Song Mansion’s summons was definitely not good news!

My aunt is so shameless, she still let me do whatever I want...

Song Yanjin stood up and looked at his father seriously. "You need to pass a test to enter Qingyun Academy. It won't work if you use my backdoor. If dad finds another way to get the princess's consent, I will get my cousin admitted in a minute."

Now there are nearly a hundred students and the school has reached saturation. It is time to raise the admission standards, otherwise anyone will want to get in.

"You are the head of the mountain. Why do you need to report this to the princess? Don't use the princess as an excuse. I think you just don't want to help."

Song Yilang was furious. How could his own daughter be so disobedient?
Song Yanjin was almost laughing out of anger, "Dad has such a bad memory. It's only been a short time since we signed the agreement, and you're already rushing to make demands. Do I owe you anything?"

She is so shameless that she has this attitude when asking for help. What obligation does she have to help these heartless people?

Song Yilang's face turned red. The silly girl still hadn't forgotten about it. The situation was too awkward. If they continued talking, he would be pissed to death. So he found an excuse to leave.

After everyone left, Bai Zhu slammed the palm-leaf fan in her hand onto the table, "The master is so annoying!"

Song Yanjin washed his hands and brewed another pot of tea, "Baizhu, go call Uncle Liu and Yuan Shang over."

The academy is now fully staffed. Combining the modern school management model, Song Yanjin explained to the two in detail the establishment of relevant departments, including the Logistics Department, Administration Department, Finance Department, Internal Affairs Department, Security Department, and Moral Education Management.

The teacher's rest area was separated and she was solely responsible for it.

"Uncle Liu will be in charge of logistics, housekeeping, and security. Yuan Chang will be in charge of administration and finance, and you will be in charge of moral education."

Then Song Yanjin explained the responsibilities of each department. Uncle Liu and Cui Yuanshang already had an idea in their minds that each department had to choose a person in charge.

After finishing a cup of tea, Song Yanjin continued, "The academy is now full of students. Uncle Liu, Yuan Chang, from today on, everyone who wants to enroll needs to take a test, and only those who score 80 points or above can register."

The two of them stared at each other with their eyes wide open. Principal Song is getting too cocky!
Uncle Liu had to advise, "Girl, the academy doesn't have that many students right now. It's not even one-third of the Imperial College across the street. If you really want to raise the standard, after some of them leave after the Spring Examination next year, there won't be many people left in the academy."

Song Yanjin had also thought about these things. "Uncle Liu, the quality of students is more important than the number. Although there are few people in Qingyun Academy, all of them are appointed officials of the imperial court. One person is equivalent to two people in other academies."

She confidently made a scissors hand gesture. The girl looked so cute that Uncle Liu and Cui Yuanchang were amused.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Uncle Liu got up to go about his business. Song Yanjin left Cui Yuanchang to explain the work content of the administrative department. "We still don't have enough manpower. Yuanchang, please write a notice and post it at the entrance of the academy. Our academy is willing to hire capable people to do the work, regardless of gender."

Cui Yuanchang’s idea was consistent with that of the headmaster. This time he could delegate a lot of the work, which made things a lot easier for himself.

After coming out of the Master's rest house, go back and prepare.

Song Yanjin's mouth was dry after hearing all this, and he finally felt better after drinking a cup of cold tea.

The academy underwent major reforms, especially in management. When Mr. Su and Mr. Ge heard about it after class, they could not help but admire the wisdom and intelligence of Mr. Song.

The entrance examination for Qingyun Academy blocked many people, and after one month, less than ten people were admitted.

Everyone in school is very glad that they made a firm choice!

The backyard of the British Mansion
Mrs. Song had a tantrum in her son's study, "You idiot, you can't even pass the entrance exam. I have worked so hard to raise you in vain."

Wan Shanfeng, who was sitting at the desk, angrily threw the test paper in his hand in my mother's face and said, "If you can do it, come on."

"Didn't mom tell my uncle about this? Why do I need to take an exam to enter my cousin's academy? Did you smooth things over with my cousin?"

Song's arrogance was suppressed by her son's yelling. Feng'er's personality was exactly the same as hers. He felt better only when he could curse out his dissatisfaction.

She took the test paper and took a closer look at what was written on it. She was also taught by the father of the top scholar at home, so how could she recognize all those words? But when she put them together, she couldn't understand what they meant.

Mrs. Song softened her attitude and coaxed her son, "Your cousin is just making things difficult by setting such a difficult test paper. I will go to the academy in person one day to get admission for my son."

Wan Shanfeng was so angry that he laughed, "Mom, why don't you understand? Last time, my eldest uncle brought my second uncle and my cousin to ask for food, and my eldest cousin had already signed an agreement, one of which was that you were not allowed to come to my house to ask for help."

My mother was a married woman from the Song family, so she was not included in the agreement. I thought that the matter could be settled by Mid-Autumn Festival, but who would have thought that she had never set foot in the gate of the Song family.

"What a bullshit agreement. She, Song Yanjin, is a member of the Song Mansion in life and a ghost of the Song Mansion in death. How can she escape to the ends of the earth?"

"Besides, I am not included in any agreement. My mother will go to the academy tomorrow. Can your eldest cousin refuse to see the elders?"

"If that's the case, I'll make a scene at the entrance of the academy. What kind of a lousy academy has such a high threshold that I can't even get in."

Song returned the test paper and put it on her son's desk. Is it possible for Song Yanjin to offend a noble lady from a high-ranking family? Thinking of this, she raised her head proudly and left her son's study.

Wan Shanfeng knew his mother's character, but he still followed her the next day out of concern.

In the teacher's lounge, Song Yanjin, who was checking in and out his entrance examination papers, heard that the fifth lady of the Duke of England's mansion was visiting. He was a little confused for a moment. Who was it?

The system suddenly said: [Your aunt. ]

Song Yanjin now remembered that Song Yimo, the fourth daughter of the Song family, married her aunt, an inconspicuous concubine's son from the fifth branch of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion.
