With such a handwriting, it is no wonder that at the beginning of the establishment of the academy, Jiang Ge Lao was thinking about raising funds, and with the conceptual direction and policy of "Qingxi Academy", the money to be consumed in the future will definitely be astronomical. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It is unlikely that the "Qingxi Academy" wants to rely on the tuition fees of the students to support the funding, the "Enlightenment Academy" is based on the predecessor of the private school here, the main purpose is to eliminate the literacy of the children in the surrounding villages, the previous students of the private school have three or four hundred, mainly facing the students of the surrounding five or six villages, and now the "Qingxi Academy" has doubled its size, and the number of students has also doubled.

It is impossible for an institution of this nature to charge too high tuition, that is to say, it is impossible for the cost of income and expenditure of the college to reach a balanced proportion, and the fees paid by students are not even one-fifth of the cost of the college's expenses, and the expenses of the college basically have to be covered by the college.

"Honghao Academy" enrollment objects are students with excellent character and learning, students who can enter the college often have to pass three levels and cut six generals, all of them are one in a thousand students, but students with excellent character and learning do not necessarily have good economic conditions at home, for this reason, the tuition fee of "Honghao Academy" will be higher than that of "Enlightenment Academy", but it cannot be high enough to make ordinary families unacceptable, especially in the face of those students who are particularly outstanding in learning and have a particularly poor family background, not only can not charge tuition, but also implement a scholarship system.

Compared with the "Enlightenment Academy", the income of "Honghao Academy" will definitely be higher, but this college is several times that of "Enlightenment Academy" in terms of faculty and book collection, and the overall balance is still disproportionate, coupled with the huge consumption of "Concentration Academy", (Anyone who has studied in colleges and universities knows how amazing the cost of scientific research institutes is.) ）

For this reason, although "Qingxi Academy" has just been completed, it is already foreseeable how amazing the expenses will be in the future, Jiang Ge has been an official in the court for nearly 50 years, although the official is honest, but his wife is good at taking care of the family business, and has a lot of assets under his name, which has been accumulated over the years, there is a lot of money, and he almost poured out his family wealth to build the academy this time, and he took out 300,000 taels at a time.

Xiao Nan doesn't have much money in his hands, when Jiang Tianqi got married, she received a gift of more than 10,000 taels of silver, and after the marriage, there were about 30,000 taels of silver left in the family, plus the income of the past two years, Xiao Nan had a total of more than 50,000 taels of silver on hand, and the construction of the academy was not something else.

For this reason, she took out all the silver in her hand, not to mention, and sold a few things that she had not used at home, but were worth a lot of money, and made up a total of 60,000 taels, and the gentry of this town heard that Xiao Nan and Jiang Ge were going to establish a academy here, and without waiting for them to speak, everyone spontaneously organized to raise 150,000 taels and sent them over, plus the 100,000 taels allocated by the emperor, in the early days of the establishment of the institute, they had a total of more than 600,000 taels of silver on hand as start-up capital.

When the academy is completed and all the decorations are completed, plus the hiring of teachers, as well as the filling of the books and classics required by each academy, as well as scientific research equipment, all the expenses of 7788 have been spent a total of 500,000 taels at present, and the funds on their hands have been left (note, not to mention the cost of a academy of this scale, just to say that ancient books are relatively expensive things, especially some rare books, with the scale and concept of "Qingxi Academy", I don't know how many books to move into it, and the money spent is naturally massive. ）

When the whole period of preparation for the academy was completed, and on the eve of preparing to hang up, when Jiang Ge Lao and Xiao Nan sat together to settle accounts, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly, no matter what era they were in, if they wanted to build a real top-level academy with their own strength, it really wouldn't work with the strength of one person or two people alone.

"It doesn't matter, I believe that the day we open the mountain gate and hang it up, there will be a lot of money." After the two looked at the accounts in their hands for a moment, Jiang Ge Lao spoke as if he was self-deprecating.

"I believe this, especially when this flat is inscribed and hung by the current official family, our income may exceed one million on this day, but the amount of millions of silver is indeed huge at first glance, but it can be invested in our academy, but it can't last a few years, and the silver in our hands has been almost consumed, and the things that should be prepared and added to the "Enlightenment Academy" and "Honghao Academy" are basically complete."

"But "Concentration Academy" is still a lot of things, plus the consumption after the official operation of the academy, the money received tomorrow will be used for the operation of our academy for five years at most, what will happen after five years? In my opinion, we have to think of how to open up a few channels to make money. Xiao Nan said.

"Are you good at business investing?" Jiang Ge Lao looked at her expectantly and asked, of course he knew what Xiao Nan said, but he was only eight years old, and it was true that he was rich and rich, but he had no talent for business, and almost all of the more than 300,000 taels of silver accumulated by the family over the years were saved with the help of his deceased wife.

"No, you only need to look at me for so many years in this era, and I have accumulated a total of tens of thousands of taels of silver on hand to know, but it doesn't matter if we are not good at it, we can find good people to cooperate, we will come up with wisdom and ideas, and the other party will provide funds to operate, and we will take a share of it." Xiao Nan said.

"Hahaha, Professor Xiao, it's a pity that you didn't engage in business in your last life, otherwise, there might be one more Confucian businessman in the business world!" Jiang Ge was stunned when he heard this, but then he couldn't help laughing.

May 20 of the third year of Tiansheng, is the official inauguration of the "Qingxi Academy" and the day of the flattening, this day, in addition to the people and students of Qingfu Town, countless Confucianism from other places, students have poured over, although the number of students enrolled in the first year of the "Qingxi Academy" is not much, most of the students who rushed over may not even have the opportunity to participate in the assessment, but as a reader, it coincides with such a grand event, if you don't come to see the excitement, you will regret it for life in the future.

Xiao Nan and Jiang Ge Lao Chen came to the academy just after one o'clock, although they came not too late, but the people who watched the ceremony seemed to come earlier than them, when the two of them walked outside the gate, they had found that the wide open space in front of the academy and the two sides of the aisle were densely packed with people, Jiang Ge was dressed in a Xuan robe, his hair was fixed on the top of his head with a wooden hairpin, and a few black and white beards under his chin fluttered in the wind, wearing his clear and dusty appearance, like an old fairy who walked out of the painting.

Xiao Nan, who came with him, was dressed in a green shirt, her hair was fixed on the top of her head with a green hosta, and there was no half hairpin ring ornament on her body, but she was bright and elegant, her facial features were not particularly delicate and beautiful, but the elegance and calmness that she exuded from the inside out could dwarf any beauty in the world in front of her.

Even people who have never seen her, at this moment when their eyes fell on her, there was only one thought in their hearts: it turned out that she was a Qingxi monk, no wonder she could write a huge work like "Shijian".
