At this time, the academy would not teach students how to do business, but all walks of life outside would accept apprentices so that they could pass on their skills. In the beginning, he was also an apprentice. It's just that accepting apprentices is not just for everyone, and it's exquisite. Unless you are your own family, you will not be able to teach the ability to press the bottom of the box.

Li Guangcai understood what Shang Jinxiu meant, but he was a little worried. One is worried that Shang Jinxiu's diversified teaching will cause criticism and is not accepted, and the other is worried that those people will cross the river and tear down the bridge. He was not afraid of any losses, but he was worried that Shang Jinxiu would be sad.

In Li Guangcai's eyes, Shang Jinxiu is still a child, and he needs to be carefully cared for and pampered in the palm of his hand. At such a young age, why bother with these things? Thinking about it, he couldn't help but complain about his son-in-law Shang Shigong, wondering if this ghost idea was Shang Shigong's idea, but he didn't have the face to mention it, so he coaxed Shang Jinxiu to come over.

But when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong, Shang Shigong would think of running a clan school to cultivate henchmen, and he could open diversified courses to teach his children to do business, and his old-fashioned character would definitely not be able to come back!

He guessed correctly, Shang Shigong really can't be done. Although he also realized the importance of the economy, after all, he grew up reading the books of sages, where did he think of teaching children?

As the saying goes, 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', and people who read are very proud!

However, although Shang Shigong didn't expect that after Shang Jinxiu explained to him, he also realized the importance of these contents. The six arts should be taught, and some of the others should just be learned selectively.

Because Li Guangcai was suspicious, he deliberately asked Shang Jinxiu tentatively: "Xiu'er, why do you want me to be a master?" Do you really think someone would like to learn from me? ”

Shang Jinxiu nodded heavily. She has planned it all, Li Guangcai wants to really learn. Then she will have to go to the lecture too. Although she studied business administration in her previous life, she also read a lot of books. But after all, the times are different, and different times and different backgrounds naturally have different rules. What's more, Li Guangcai can save a lot of business from a small apprentice, and he must have great ability.

She said seriously: "Grandpa, I think everyone has everyone's talents, and it's not that writing articles and taking the imperial examination is the only way out. As the saying goes, '360 lines, the line is the champion', some people can't write good articles, not necessarily can't have unique talent in other aspects. I do. I hope to tap their talents and help them show their talents, so that they don't have to be tied to the crooked neck tree of the Kaokoju for the rest of their lives. ”

Li Guangcai was silent when he heard this, his heart trembled violently, and a small piece of gloom in his heart suddenly disappeared. Back then, he and Shang Youde were a pair of good brothers, and the two of them studied together, but unfortunately Shang Youde was very smart and good at studying. After reading an article, you can memorize it. But he is very stupid, and he is always unenlightened.

At that time, the family was actually very poor, and his father and mother gritted their teeth and sent him to the academy, which was too reluctant. He didn't think he was that material. So he left the academy and went to become an apprentice.

For this, his father beat him severely. Nearly beat him to death. He also knew that his father had suffered all his life, so he was counting on him to be successful. Later, although his life got better and better. But there are often people around him who gossip and think it's a pity for him to drop out of school. is too ignorant, but he is still virtuous and promising.

After hearing too many such words, he naturally had demons in his heart. He studied hard and wanted to prove himself, and finally saved up a big business for him and made a good life for his family.

On the contrary, he studied business and virtue very well, and his life was not going well. He regarded Shang Youde as a brother, and he really couldn't look past it, so he always helped him.

But in his heart, he still felt that he was not as good as Shang Youde, and he was very envious of Shang Youde's talent. Later, Li Shuhua married Shang Shigong, in addition to his friendship with Shang Youde, another reason was that he took a fancy to Shang Shigong's talent.

For so many years, he has always had such a haze in his heart, feeling that even if he made a lot of money, he was still a head shorter than those who read. Now that he listened to Shang Jinxiu's words, his heart suddenly brightened.

Shang Jinxiu is right, everyone has their own unique talent, what if he can't write a splendid article? Didn't you also forge a path in business? Why be presumptuous?

Because of Shang Jinxiu's words, Li Guangcai did not refuse, and directly agreed to Shang Jinxiu's proposal. Not only that, but he also plans to send the children in the family as well. In addition to learning from the master, these children would also listen to him and his sons talk about business. Now, it is possible for them to enter the merchant's ethnicity and learn more things.

The house is still being renovated, but Shang Shigong has already released the news, and while looking for a suitable master, he is recruiting students. Because it's just ethnology, there won't be too many external enrollments, otherwise it would be too eye-catching. Shang Jin'an was definitely going in, and after the news spread, Shang Shixun specially came to Shang Shigong, saying that he wanted to send Shang Jintian and Shang Jinyu as well. They are all the children of merchants, and businessmen naturally can't help but agree.

In addition, in addition to the Li family's children coming, the Li family's in-laws also intended to send their children. Then Shang Shigong's subordinates also proposed to Shang Shigong to send their children in. The rest are the people outside.

After all, Shang Shigong is the prefect of Qingzhou, and he is appreciated by the emperor, even if he was unhappy and waited to see his jokes, he is also aware of current affairs at this time. They were worried that they didn't have a chance to tie up, and Shang Shigong gave them such a wonderful opportunity!

Of course, these people are not honest in their minds. On the one hand, if the crime of Shang Shigong is taken out of the mouth of the child, then they don't mind taking advantage of it.

In addition to these people with ulterior motives, there are also some poor people who want to send their children in. They have suffered all their lives, and they all hope that their children will be able to study, so that they will not follow their old path in the future. It's just that these people are too poor to make up for the tuition fees of the college.

The merchant's ethnicity is different, the tuition is free in the first year of admission, and as long as you pass the assessment in the second year, you can continue to study, which is a good thing that has never been done!

So many people have the idea of giving it a try and are ready to send their children in first, even if they can't pass the assessment, they can read for at least a year and can know a lot of words. Besides, as a parent, where can you feel that your child is not good? Can't pass the assessment?

There are a lot of people who think like this, and as a result, the external admissions office specially set up by the merchant is simply overcrowded. Fortunately, a special enrollment assessment has been set up, otherwise so many people will definitely not be happy if they are not selected.

Because of the implementation of diversified teaching, the assessment is divided into different categories. There are many people who have signed up, but there are only 100 places, and the results will not be announced until the end of the assessment, which can be regarded as reducing some of the pressure.

There are many categories of assessment, and the content is detailed, and the time drags on. It just so happens that the house has not yet been renovated, so there is plenty of time. Seven days later, the registration and assessment ended, and the results were announced.

A notice was posted outside the Admissions Office, and the number of places was announced. In addition, there is a special person to call the name, and if the name is called, come forward to receive the admission certificate. The voucher is a hot piece of bamboo with the student's name written on it.

Those who were selected were naturally excited, and those who were not selected were very lonely.

To this end, Shang Jinxiu has specially set up an open class. This course is held once every seven days, and those who are not selected can attend the class at that time. The course content is simple, teaching only the simplest literacy and arithmetic. In such a course, you don't have to participate in it at all, that is, it is completely for those who are not selected.

The place of teaching Shang Jinxiu was also chosen, and it was a pavilion with a wide view. When the time comes, the audience will sit on the floor around the gazebo, and it will not be a problem to accommodate a thousand people.

In order to set up a family study, Shang Jinxiu specially found someone to make chalk and blackboards. Chalk comes in white and red, and blackboards come in different sizes.

The blackboard placed in the classroom is the largest, two meters long and one meter high. Placed in the gazebo is medium-sized, one meter long and 0.6 meters wide. The smallest blackboard is about the size of A4 paper, and when the class is open to the public, everyone who attends the class will receive a small blackboard and a piece of chalk so that they can use it to practice during the class.

Shang Jinxiu also opened a special place in the family studies to sell pen, ink, paper, and inkstones at low prices. Naturally, there are different grades of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and only those who come to listen to the lectures, or students in the clan studies, are eligible to buy them, and they are not sold to the public at all.

Shang Jinxiu does not rely on this to make money, the price is naturally very low, it is completely cost price, which can be regarded as a special discount for students. At the end of each open class, a small test will be held to select the four people with the best results. The first place can get a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, the second place only has pen, ink, paper, and no inkstone, and the third place only has pen and ink, and the fourth place only has a pen.

If you get a good score again in the second small test, you can optionally ask for prizes, of course, the prizes can only be selected in the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

These prizes, although of the lowest quality, are also much better than the worst out there. Although the price is low, it is still a burden for the poor. Although Shang Jinxiu has the ability to give everyone a set, she is not willing to be the wronged leader, and spends money to raise a bunch of excellent products that only know how to ask.

Even the small blackboards and chalk will be taken back at the end of each open class and will continue to be distributed until the next open class. As for how to review the children who go back after listening to the class, it is no longer within the scope of Shang Jinxiu's consideration.

If she has the heart to study hard, she will naturally be able to come up with a way, and if she is not willing to learn well, why should she care? The road was all made by herself, and she didn't owe them to these people.

When the news of the open class spread, the people who were originally unhappy suddenly had smiles on their faces, and they were all gearing up, looking forward to the arrival of the open class.

Time passed quietly in preparation, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for school to start. (To be continued......)
