Chapter 221: April Affair

While the member was thinking about it, someone interjected and asked, "I don't know how much the tuition is?" ”

The storyteller replied, "It's not much, it's enough to pay 1,500 yuan a year!" If your family is poor, you can pay money on a monthly basis, but you need to pay 150 yuan a month, which is equivalent to 1,800 yuan a year! ”

"Lord Wang, great and benevolent!" When the people in the vicinity heard this, they were overjoyed. Don't look at fifteen hundred or eight hundred as a lot, but in fact, in terms of being able to learn a craft, it is definitely a lot. If the Song Dynasty wanted to apprentice to a teacher, he had to give gifts and money of two or three yuan, and then study under the master, and work for him for at least ten years, and some even twenty years, so that he could learn this craft. And every New Year's holiday, you have to give gifts to the master.

In this way, Guozi Academy is much cheaper, and the money for gifts alone is almost enough to study in Guozi Academy for two years!

"I don't know what the school system of Guozi Academy is?" Someone else asked.

The storyteller was not too verbose, and said carefully: "There are three halls in Guozi Academy, which are divided into primary school, middle school, and university. Primary school is enlightenment, if there is a foundation, you can not read it. One year each in middle school and university, you only need to pass the exam to graduate, and if you have an excellent student, you will be promoted to the university hall halfway! ”

"What books do you study?"

"Because of the profession of officials, it is determined that there are "Jing Xiao", "Four Pillars Inventory", "Song Jian's solemn and detailed Xingtong", "Tongguang Criminal Law System", and "Xiande Criminal Law System" as the main business. In addition, "The Book of Filial Piety", "Zhou Li", "Mencius", and "Spring and Autumn" are side jobs. ”

Someone else asked: "Is it true that you are guaranteed to be able to enter the yamen as a clerk?" ”

The storyteller laughed, "Where is there a guarantee for this?" It's just that there are more opportunities, and Guozi Academy currently enrolls up to 500 people a year, but there are 200 places. There's competition, of course! If you are unsuccessful, you can repeat the exam and retake it in the following year. ”

After a pause, the storyteller added: "Take a step back and say, even if you can't do anything, you can go to the store to find a bookkeeper to do it, and if you have some will, you can go to the yamen to be a white clerk!" ”

The clerk's office is considered a low-level clerk, and the white-body clerk's office is a temporary clerk's office, although there are many clerks in a yamen, but in fact there are not many, which requires a lot of temporary workers. Of course, as in modern times, part-time workers can be regularized, but it is more difficult.

The beginning of April was no longer mild, but it did not reduce the people's curiosity about the Guozi Academy, and this propaganda was undoubtedly successful.

Although the method is simple, it is enough to attract the attention of the people.

First, it was tempted to take advantage of it, revealing that the officials were rich in income and had some power, which would help the family. Then there is credibility, first the officials themselves expressed concern, so that the common people subconsciously trusted the energy of Guozi Academy. Erecting the banner of Zhao Yu, the king of Changsha, undoubtedly makes Guozi Academy more credible.

The next day, more than 200 people came to sign up for the school, but Zhao Yu did not recruit all of them. Because many of these people are green skins in the market, they are so slippery that they can't talk about it, and they can't do anything. Zhao Yu didn't want to cultivate a group of slippery officials, otherwise it would be difficult for Song Renzong to explain.

At the same time, Zhao Yu sent people to the slums to select school-age children, all between the ages of 12 and 14. Although it is too late to start at this age, children at this age have already come out to work, have been exposed to society, and are more mature than their peers.

At the same time, untouchable children of this age already know the cruelty of society and have the idea of urgently changing their fate, and Zhao Yu can help them at this time to get their gratitude and loyalty to the greatest extent. At the same time, these people, after three or four years of training, can get a group of usable talents.

A full 500 people were recruited, and these people, unlike the cadets and companions, were called scholars. I need to clean the classroom and campus every day, and I will not be recommended to the clerk after graduation.

Of course, these are all open-faced, and Zhao Yu trusts these scholars more than those students and accompanying students. For this reason, these scholars secretly promised that after graduation, they would be sent to the yamen to work as white bodies and help for a year or two, and then they would be promoted to officials.

If it is such an empty sentence, it is naturally impossible to let these children who come to society early to relieve the pressure on their families come to Guozi Academy to study. During the study period, Zhao Yu will give them free tuition, food and lodging, and a study subsidy of 100 to 500 wen per month. As for how much, it depends on your grades, the bad ones, only 100 wen, the good ones can have 500 wen. In addition to this, there are various scholarships available every year.

The original Guozi Academy was obviously overwhelmed by such reuse, but fortunately, Zhao Yu was prepared to open in May. There was a month in between, Zhao Yu was building a mile away from the Tokyo Stadium, this land was originally Zhao Yu's, but it was also convenient, and even the procedures for buying land were exempted.

Don't look at Zhao Yu now that he is rising and descending, but if anyone thinks that he can bully Zhao Yu in this way, it is a big mistake. Therefore, even Fan Zhongyan, an upright person, only opened and closed his eyes in this matter. It's not that Fan Zhongyan's character is flawed, but if everything is true, I'm afraid that Fan Zhongyan would have been impeached to death a long time ago. Is there an official who doesn't know how to work around this thought?

It's just that there was another thing in the middle that made Zhao Yu angry, and Lu Yijian asked Zhao Yu to offer movable type printing. This is naturally righteous, in order to promote the newspapers and books of the imperial court, and this is another quotation from the classics.

Although Zhao Yu was unwilling, he finally had to offer movable type printing. When you get to the imperial court, what else is there to keep secret? However, in a matter of months, movable type printing has spread to Hangzhou in the south, and the biggest difference is only how complete the methods obtained by each person are, and how many have been changed by more than half of them by some literati.

For this reason, Qingzhou Dibao's biggest honor guard, cheap and beautiful, was immediately lost. Fortunately, Zhao Yu had already arranged it before, and there were branches in important places such as Bianliang City, Yingtian Mansion, Daimyo Mansion, and Luoyang Mansion. Although the development of Qingzhou Dibao has been hit hard, at least the original site is still well maintained.

At the same time, Lu Yijian asked Song Renzong for his consent and allowed eight companies in the world to publish Di Bao. These eight, together with the imperial court's Di Bao and Qingzhou Di Bao, have a total of ten, so they are also called Shibao. The situation of Qingzhou Dibao being the dominant family is gone forever. Zhao Yu's control over speech was further weakened.

Song Renzong seemed to feel guilty and granted permission for the Guozi Academy to admit the children of good people and individual untouchable children. The newly established Guozi Academy has also successfully transformed from an aristocratic school to a large-scale comprehensive school.

PS: Khan! I suddenly found out today that I got the chapter number wrong. It took more than 200 chapters to be posted, and there were actually 420 chapters appeared.

VIP chapters can't change chapter titles, that's the only way to do it. But there's no problem with the plot, so please forgive me! (To be continued.) )
