The red watermelon is sweet and thirsty, plus the ice, it is even more irresistible, but it is a pity that it is too expensive, otherwise it is more perfect, the expensive is not the watermelon itself, but the ice, there is no refrigerator at this time, it all depends on the ice stored in winter to get cold.

Ice preservation needs people to maintain, this is the cost, ordinary people can't afford to eat chilled watermelon, people want to eat cold watermelon, either put it in a cool place for a day, or put it in the well water to soak, rely on the cold well water to get cold.

But whether it is placed in a cool place or soaked in well water, there is no doubt that it is not as delicious as ice-cold.

Zhang Feizi finished eating a petal, Yingchang gave him another petal, after two sticks of incense, the two monarchs and ministers ate the two plates of iced Xiguan cleanly, Yingchang even made a separation, and his stomach was full.

Zhang Feizi raised his hand to wipe his mouth with his sleeve, Ying Chang wiped his mouth with a gold silk silk, and after the two of them finished wiping their mouths, Ying Chang began to go straight to the topic, and said directly: "Zhang Aiqing entered the palace this time, presumably he has already calculated the budget for setting up a middle school and a school, right?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhang Feizi nodded respectfully, then reached out and took out a fold from his sleeve, walked to the front of the imperial case, presented the fold with both hands, Ying Chang took the fold and unfolded it, looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really burning money!" ”

Excerpts:

There are a total of seven counties, 52 counties, and 365 townships/villages in the Great Qin Empire.

A township-level school needs 10 teachers, and a teaching master has 3 taels of silver a month, and 365 township-level schools need 3,650 teachers, which costs 11,000 taels of silver in a month, or 132,000 taels of silver a year!

The total budget for the cost of the master is 260,000 taels of silver!

A township-level school is expected to have 500 students, 365 township-level schools are expected to have about 180,000 students, a student needs five different books, 180,000 students need 900,000 books, according to the market price of a book for ten yuan, 900,000 books need 90,000 taels of silver!

A county-level school is expected to have 2,000 students, and 52 county-level schools are expected to have about 100,000 students, need 500,000 books, and are expected to cost 50,000 taels of silver!

In addition to the five different books that students need, each school has a 10,000 library for students to browse, and the 10,000 library has at least 2,000 books, and the 422 schools across the country can purchase at least 850,000 additional books, which costs 85,000 taels of silver.

......

One and a half million taels, for the treasury of the Great Qin Empire, it is only one cent in nine years, but even if it is one cent in nine years, this number is also huge, and other empires will definitely not take one and a half million taels of silver to open a school, and would rather use this money to enrich their armaments.

When Zhang Feizi heard Yingchang sigh, he couldn't help but laugh and replied: "Your Majesty, this is just the beginning, and it will cost more money in the future!" ”

After a long time, the population of the Great Qin Empire will be more and more, the more the population, the more students, and then the Great Qin Imperial Court will need to pay more students' tuition, and even add schools, five schools in a county is not a problem, and the academy has not completely perfected the school system, and after it is perfected, the more money will be spent, and after the seven counties in the Great Qin Pass are almost done, the seventeen counties in the northwest outside the gate will hold schools, and then it will not be a matter of one and a half million taels, but fifteen million or even more.

Ying often lamented that the school was a gold-swallowing beast, but it was an exaggeration!

"In this way, I will add 1.5 million taels of silver to the 1.5 million taels of silver, how to spend this money, I won't care, but as long as there is a request, the money must be spent on the blade, spent on the students, if anyone dares to be greedy for a penny of this money, I will not forgive!" Ying Chang looked solemn and said without being angry.

Zhang Feizi was overjoyed when he heard this, and added an extra budget of 1.5 million taels of silver, which was undoubtedly a surprise for him, the more money he had, the more confident he would be, and he would buy it directly if he lacked anything, anyway, there was money.

"The minister must spend the money on the blade, and will never let His Majesty down!" Zhang Feizi replied with a solemn expression.

Ying Chang got up from the dragon chair, walked around the imperial case to Zhang Feizi, and said in a deep tone: "Zhang Aiqing, whoever suffers, can't suffer students, they are all the hope of my Great Qin's future, to say something ugly, people will eventually die, whether it is you who are courtiers or I am the emperor, sooner or later you will leave one day!" ”

"When you die as courtiers, who will take your place? That is the young people of today, talent is the hope of the country, these young people are the future talents, of course, students are not all suffering can not eat, occasionally let each school organize a farming, to help the people farm and cultivate the fields, so as not to appear a student who eats food and does not know how to grow the 'talent', become a useless vase! ”

PS: "Ask for a recommended ticket, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward, ask for a full order, ask for four daily requests, and I hope that all the officials can support more, thank you!" ”
