As soon as Jinshu's words came out, everyone knew that they had taken a big advantage, so the voice of discussion suddenly dissipated without a trace. Especially those who have children at home, they have actually inquired a long time ago, and the private school in the town has to pay at least 200 wen a month, and there is no distinction between ordinary classes and imperial examination classes, which is more than two taels of silver in a year.

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but say to the person next to him: "The ordinary class is only 20 wen a month - if the child is diligent and smart enough, he can learn hundreds or thousands of words for only 20 wen, it is definitely a good deal!" ”

"That's it! And the school is in the village, close to his home, and there is still money left for food and housing. It's a great deal! ”

"Who's to say it isn't!"

"This Ye mother and daughter are really kind!"

"When the school is finished, I have to send my two boys to learn to read. Otherwise, they would have to tease the cats and dogs in the village every day, causing trouble. ”

"Hehe, I want my kid to take the imperial examination, how good it would be to be a big official in the future!"

Before the school started, many people began to imagine a bright future for their children. All the villagers talked loudly, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and the next most important thing is to find a gentleman. The first thing that came to mind was Zhiyuan Academy. After all, there are many scholars in the academy, so it is natural that you will know a lot of knowledgeable people. And Qingshui Village is studying in Zhiyuan Academy, Li Yunzhi and Zhou Wen are the only two people, so if you want to find a gentleman, you have to start with them.

However, Li Zheng also thought about this matter, so before Jinshu could speak, he took the initiative to take over this errand and handed over this important task to his youngest son. Just after taking the township examination, Zhou Wen has been waiting at home to participate in next year's examination, for which he also made a special trip to the county seat.

But it's not in vain to come back after a trip, at least Mr. has found it. One was found by Zhao Xuanyang, although he is not particularly famous, it should be no problem to teach students in an ordinary class. The other is said to be a friend of Dean Zhao, and I don't know what Zhou Wen said about the other party.

Jin Shu didn't have any opinions after learning about it, but Tongli Zheng said that it was best to invite the two gentlemen in person, which would be considered rude. Li Zheng accepted her suggestion, and after asking the two gentlemen, he picked a sunny day and personally went to the county seat to invite the two of them.

The two gentlemen were the same age. A person surnamed Zhou used to be a student of Zhiyuan Academy, but he failed to participate in the imperial examination for many years, and then he stopped thinking and helped people write letters in the city for a living. Another friend of Dean Zhao's surname is Wei, with a thin body, bright eyes, and an elegant temperament when he raises his hands and feet, even the villagers who can't read big characters can see that he is a well-educated person.

Before the two gentlemen arrived at Qingshui Village, the villagers had already consciously helped them clean their houses. They were afraid that they would neglect the two, so they specially dug up some wildflowers from the mountain and planted them in the yard. It's not elegant, but it's also interesting.

After the two gentlemen arrived, they were really flattered by the bright school hall and the clean room, and immediately expressed their gratitude to the villagers. On the same day, Li Zheng held a banquet at home to receive the two gentlemen, and the teaching matter was decided.

In the end, according to statistics, 21 students were admitted to the ordinary class and nine students were admitted to the imperial examination class, ranging in age from 6 to 16 years old. On the first day of school, many parents stood outside the fence to join in the fun, and although they couldn't see the children's classes, it was still possible to eavesdrop.

However, everyone only dared to eavesdrop, and they didn't even dare to make a sound of discussion, for fear of disturbing the students' classroom order and affecting the children's learning.
