The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 710 Ayu's Academy Vision

"Grandma, did you talk to the Empress Dowager about the girls' academy?" Ayu asked, delighted. The Empress Dowager placed the musical instruments on the table, and the maidservant discreetly put them away. Everyone else in the boat withdrew, leaving them alone.

"Come here." The Empress Dowager waved to Ayu. Ayu looked at Old Madam Wang, and seeing her nod, she walked over.

"At first, I didn't know you were Xiao Yaoguang's granddaughter. I just thought you had a kind face and were likable. Now that I think about it, it must have been destined." The Empress Dowager sighed, took Ayu's hand, and made her sit next to her. She continued, "I knew before that you wanted to build a girls' academy. In fact, the Empress mentioned it to me twice, but I thought it had nothing to do with me, so I put it aside."

Ayu's eyes lit up. She straightened her back and stared at the Empress Dowager without blinking. "Empress Dowager, are you going to lend a hand? My girls' academy has been getting a lot of things ready. I've bought many training grounds, my father has been busy decorating the academy, and my mother has helped me find many female students who want to enroll. If you agree, I can officially invite students next spring!"

Upon hearing that the Empress Dowager wanted to help, Ayu launched into a long explanation, including her various ideas, her relationship with Master Tuoluo and Master Wan, the group of unemployed teachers she had found, and the female teachers that her grandmother had hired for her. They were also persuaded by Ayu to teach at the girls' academy and would bring some of her close female teachers with them.

Moreover, the girls' academy also had some connections with her shops in several other cities. Her aunt, Wang Aibao, also suggested opening a series of general stores so that the girls from the academy could sell what they had learned and the items they made. Regardless of whether they sold out, the academy would provide financial support.

Seeing that she was getting into the conversation, the Empress Dowager did not interrupt her, but simply poured her more tea.

Ayu was indeed so thirsty from talking that she didn't realize the Empress Dowager was serving her tea and water. When she got thirsty, she would take a couple of sips and then continue talking.

Although she was intelligent, this was the first time she had done something so significant, and she had probably thought about it countless times in private.

Tuanzi also helped a lot, creating many mind maps for her in the space and building a model of the academy to simulate its operation.

However, Tuanzi is not an expert in this area. She can only help Ayu broaden her thinking. With Grandma Wang overseeing things from the side, Ayu's plan for a girls' academy has become increasingly mature.

She has many plans, including those for the establishment of the academy, teaching resources, logistical support, public opinion campaigning, official response, student enrollment, and future employment prospects.

She knew that there were two most noble and powerful women in Dachang: one was her brother Ayou's empress cousin, and the other was the empress dowager in front of her. They controlled the fate of women in the world, and a single word from them could determine the life or death of a group of women.

By the end, it was already noon. The Empress Dowager and Old Madam Wang were mostly silent, while Ayu continued to chatter on and on. In the end, she still seemed to have more to say, but her head was starting to ache, and for a moment, she didn't know what else she had left to say.

Only after Ayu finished speaking did the Empress Dowager ask, "So you have everything ready except for the final push?"

"Yes, as long as Her Majesty the Empress Dowager gives the order, my girls' academy can start construction immediately!" Ayu said confidently.

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager shook her head: "You didn't think of the most crucial step."
