"Chen Fei, do you say that the people of Shuo County are willing to send their children to study?" Princess Wanchun asked.

Chen Fei immediately replied as a matter of course: "It should be, we have waived the tuition fee, as long as they are willing to be a teacher for us for two years after completing their studies, then they will compensate for the cost of education for six years." As for being able to study and have a better future in the future, they should agree. So I think they might all rush to send their children to study, and then they will just wait! ”

Chen Fei had already asked Ning Shuyu to take those teachers from Qiushi Academy to recruit students in the county, and the conditions were very good. First of all, there is no tuition fee, as long as you stay and teach for two years after completing your studies, you can offset the tuition fee. And after studying, you can have a better future, maybe you can become an official through the imperial examination and change the class in your family. How beautiful this is, so Chen Fei didn't think that these people would refuse to send their children to class. Of course, this Chen Fei does not know the real situation yet.

"Chen County Order, we're back!" Ning Shuyu said.

"Coming? How many children come to class? Chen Fei asked.

Ning Shuyu raised two fingers, and Chen Fei immediately said, "Two hundred? It's not too much, but it's barely passing. ”

"Twenty!" Ning Shuyu said a number that made people vomit blood.

"Twenty? Are you kidding! Chen Fei immediately said angrily.

Chen Fei was angry for a while, the academy he had worked so hard to open was to let more people study. And even the tuition fee is waived, just ask them to work as a teacher for the college for two years after completing their studies. After two years as a teacher. You can freely participate in the imperial examination by yourself, or you can rely on your knowledge to change your fate after studying. So how good this is, according to Chen Fei's understanding, there should be a lot of people who come to read. But these guys are too faceless, and their kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs. Twenty sounds like a lot, but that's the population of the whole county! There are more than 3,000 households in the county. Each family has three or four children, but now there are only twenty, isn't this making Chen Fei feed the dogs with kindness?

"Why are there only twenty coming?" Chen Fei then asked.

Ning Shuyu said: "Chen County Order, you can ask these students in person!" ”

Chen Fei came to the twenty so-called students, only to find that they were all unkempt, obviously living in poor conditions. And they all have a common situation. That is, their gender is all girls, and none of them are boys. Chen Fei is also strange, such a good thing as reading has been given to girls? Later, girls were restricted from studying, but why did these people send girls to study instead of their own sons?

"Little sister. Why didn't your father and mother let your brother or brother come to school? Chen Fei asked.

The little girl took the initiative and said, "Because my brother and brother have to farm, they can't come." So, let me come! ”

"Farming? Can't come? What kind of reason is this? Chen Fei was speechless.

Chen Fei took a closer look at it next, and he found that he still had some insufficient understanding of the ordinary people of this era. In ancient times, labor was scarce and food productivity was relatively low, so it was impossible to support too many people who were not engaged in production.

In ancient times, many children in rural areas had to participate in labor when they were five or six years old, and when they were five or six years old, they had to assist adults at home to do some housework, so that adults could better use their strength in the fields. And this child is also the labor force in the family. So you can't afford to lose it easily.

Reading is different, once your own children come to study, it means that a family loses a labor force. And there is an additional population that does not do business. Although Chen Fei was exempted from tuition, he needed to buy paper and pencils for his next study, and the price of paper and pencils was also very expensive in this era. On the one hand, there is no production and labor reduction, and on the other hand, there is the cost of paper and pencils, so even the rural people do not think it is necessary to study.

"No wonder I have heard in later generations that some people in rural areas go home after completing nine years of compulsory education, and even think that going to school is a waste of time and money. And there is this time. It's better to go home and farm. More than a thousand years later, that idea is still there. Besides, this is more than 1,000 years old? Many people think that there is no need for their children to study, and that reading is a waste of money and time. It's better to use this time to farm. They don't realize the usefulness of reading, and even think that it's useless to drop their bags of books all day. Hey, helplessly, it's not so easy to popularize education. These small-scale peasant ideas are also a problem that cannot be ignored, and small-scale peasant thinking has always been the focus of China's development. ”

Chen Fei also understood why these "students" were all girls, because this kind of little girl was weak and could not provide much labor for the family. And that's why they send girls, because they can't provide labor for the family, but are the ones to support. Since they were originally unable to provide labor to support them in vain, they simply sent them to study, which could be regarded as an explanation to Chen Fei, the county commander. Therefore, sending his daughter here, on the one hand, there will be no loss of labor in his family, and on the other hand, he can explain the past to Chen Fei, the county order, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

But Chen Fei was really angry, and these guys treated themselves like this. Chen Fei originally thought that he was doing good deeds, and taking others was to be very grateful to Dade and thank himself. But now that I've done a good deed, others don't understand.

Chen Fei is also a common person who does charity, you are enthusiastic about charity, but in the end, you found that you had a hot face on someone's cold ass, so you were not depressed. Chen Fei is like this, on the one hand, he hopes that more people can have the opportunity to read and write, but people are not keen on reading, Chen Fei's hot face is completely attached to their cold buttocks. Chen Fei didn't scold, he was already very patient.

"Chen Fei, since you have decided to do good deeds, it means to persevere! If others don't understand, you can figure it out. You can't give up the idea of doing good deeds because of a momentary failure! Princess Wanchun saw Chen Fei's face and took the initiative to persuade him.
