Qi wang ye, wang fei, she is crazy again

The initial preparation of the college is not a small investment. Although the original intention of running this college is not to make a lot of money, it should get back the capital no matter what. Wen Mianmian doesn't think there is any problem with charging this fee.

Wen Changling interjected, "The book "24 Shi Guang Ji" is 48 taels. It was sold at 60 taels when it first came out, but now it has dropped to [-] taels."

Wen Mianmian gave him a look of admiration, she still understood it very well, and then continued: "Students with money buy books, students without money copy books, copying books costs paper, pen and ink, which is also a huge expense. There are not a few students who are bald, and it is common for some students to copy by hand unconsciously in order to read as many books as possible, especially in winter.”

"The student's sentence after high school, 'It's not enough to exaggerate the filth in the past, but now the debauchery has no limit' is not unreasonable."

"Of course, we haven't said how much it will cost to go to Beijing for the scientific examination, how much the prepared candles, water charcoal, meals and utensils, clothes and mats will cost, and even the test papers used by the Ministry of Rites for the scientific examination are produced by the students themselves. money."

Gu Qili also sighed. He also felt that it was not good for the students to pay for the papers of the scientific examination, but this is the rule, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Wen Mianmian continued: "Last year I asked a student from the Southwest, he said that he walked on the road for more than a month, ate porridge and side dishes, stayed in the cheapest inn, and almost all lived in Tongpu, that's how he came. It also cost more than 40 taels on the way, and the money was only because his family bought grain, sold cattle, and the family supported half of it.”

"After entering the gate of the capital city, I still had two taels of silver on my body. I had no choice but to raise money everywhere. I borrowed 50 taels. If I failed the exam, I had to return home immediately, or find an errand on the spot to earn the travel expenses back in advance."

"Think about the high school in this situation, all kinds of banquets, all kinds of expenses, how much will it cost?"

What she didn't say was that under such circumstances, a corrupt official was indispensable in high school. There was no way, he was too poor.

"As for this year's situation, if it weren't for Master Gu and the people from the Ministry of Rites making various arrangements to let the students live in cheap inns, many of them might not be able to make it to the end of the game."

Gu Qili hurriedly surrendered, with a look of regret on his face, as if he was worried about the students, "It's all a matter of humble ministers."

Having said so much, Wen Mianmian made a conclusion, "Studying is hard and costs a lot, so there is no need to blindly pursue the best."

"Those students who can line up here still have two families. If they can't study here, they can go to other places to study. Besides, we have an exam on the twelfth day. If we think that we have a good foundation, we can take the exam. If we do well in the exam, we can take the exam." There is a free treatment."

The emperor had complex eyes, wondering what he should do for the students, and after a moment of silence he suddenly said, "Ancient chess power."

"The minister is here."

Another crying child was taken away in the line, and the emperor swept it lightly, "I order you to draw up a charter for helping students and send it up."

Gu Qili clapped his hands to answer, but thought about it in his heart, helping the students?

How can I help?

Wen Mianmian smiled, and added another word, "I can think about whether it is possible to organize government schools in various places, and whether the fees for entering government schools can be waived. As for the cost of government schools, half of the cost can be allocated by the imperial court, and the rest can be raised by the local gentry, etc. "

That's all she can say, and she can't say too much.

Gu Qi handed over, "Thank you, Princess, for your advice."

The emperor's heart is a little heavy. As an emperor, he naturally doesn't want the future talents of the court to fall into the predicament of having no money to take the exam. However, to improve this situation, money must be spent. The court is short of money what.

His gaze rested on Hua Jingyun for a moment, the meaning was self-evident, get him money as soon as possible.

Everyone stayed for a while, and it was almost noon, Wen Mianmian proposed to go back to the palace for dinner, the emperor naturally agreed, the queen mother was even more happy, and planned to stay for a few days after dinner in the palace.

Among those who signed up, someone had been paying attention to the emperor for a long time, and always felt that he looked very familiar. When he slowly approached, the man's face was surprised, and a blush soon appeared, and the two trembling knees directly knelt down, "Caocaomin I have seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

emperor?

The people in front and behind were startled, and looking in the direction of the man kneeling, some natives of Kyoto knelt down and shouted long live.

At this moment, all the people were inexplicably excited, they hurriedly knelt down, shouting long live my emperor one after another, their faces flushed with excitement.

The sound was so loud that everyone in the college heard the movement. Mr. Gu brought a few gentlemen, and those children who were looking at the college dormitory also rushed to have a glimpse of the sky.

The emperor straightened his back, and Wen Mianmian whispered, "Father, say something."

What a great opportunity, free publicity, useless.

The emperor took two steps forward, "flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

These people got up excitedly, for some reason, they were hot all over, the emperor had come to the academy, and their children were studying here, and they all felt that they had something to do with the emperor.

This is the emperor, today's event is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.

The emperor looked at those students with longing and fear in their eyes, and stood with his hands behind his back, "Young people work hard all their lives, don't be lazy with time, you must know little and don't learn, and old people don't know. There is no limit to learning, and you will come here to study today. You must work hard, be close to your teachers, love your classmates, be sensible and understand the righteousness, have a family and a country in your heart, and live up to the upbringing of your parents and the expectations of the court."

The older children knelt down and kowtowed, and said loudly: "The students will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."

The other students also knelt down, saying "Thank you, Your Majesty", "Yes, Your Majesty", "Understood, Your Majesty." '

The emperor asked them to get up, and his eyes fell on those parents again. The parents were all nervous either rubbing their hands or pinching the corners of their clothes, and the emperor did not let them down. It's not easy, you are the people of our East Shu, and you are also the son of your father, the father of your son, you must not let go of the heavy responsibility, I hope you cherish yourself and wait for the future."

As soon as these words came out, many people wiped their tears and knelt and kowtowed one by one, that was sincere, the emperor asked them to cherish themselves.

Oops, I suddenly felt how honorable it is to be a citizen of Dongshu.

In this way, the emperor gained another wave of popular support, and the academy's reputation became even greater.

The emperor said a few more words to Mr. Gu, and after leaving the academy, he took the empress dowager back to the palace. It is not suitable for him to go to Annan Palace now. The exposure of his identity has invisibly increased a lot of danger.

The empress dowager was full of disappointment, Wen Mianmian stepped forward and said that he would pick her up in person in two days and come out for a short stay, and then she became happy again.
