Chapter 407: Establishing an Academy in Okayama Prefecture
The people exchanged their heads, Gu Huanhuan pursed her lips and looked forward to what they would say.
"Make a lot of money."
The first man shouted, with a smile on his face that I guessed.
Gu Huanhuan shook his head, "Guess again." ”
"There is a field industry, small landlords."
Gu Huanhuan applauded, "It's a little close." ”
"I can afford to raise a daughter-in-law."
"Almost!" Gu Huanhuan put down his hand, "But what you say is inseparable from silver, only silver can achieve the life you want, so how can you have silver and get rid of poverty?" ”
Everyone looked left and right, and it was obvious that they had been searching for no way.
Wealth is people's courage, and only when they have wealth can they have courage, but they rarely go to Yizhou Mansion without wealth, so where does they get the opportunity to make a fortune.
"In fact, it is very simple, that is, reading, everyone says that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, and reading can change the fate of all poor students.
Even if you are not an official or a champion, the thousands of industries in the world are inseparable from reading and literacy, and the science of arithmetic. ”
"What Mrs. De said is, but we can't even guarantee that we are full, where is the money to send the children to school."
Gu Huanhuan smiled, "This is not true, we hope that the school will help the people to build schools in various towns and villages in Gangshan County next year, and when the time comes, only the book fee will be charged, and the children can be sent to school." ”
"Really... Are you sure? ”
"Mrs. De, can you really read to the children for free?"
Gu Huanhuan waved his finger and made a gesture of denial.
"It's not free, but it's a book fee, and in Yizhou, we have set up more than 30 hope schools to help children from poor families read and write."
"That's... How much silver was that year? ”
Many people are eager to try it, knowing that other colleges usually charge students for books and tuition and fees.
During the New Year's holidays, I also give gifts to my husband, which is equivalent to three taels to four taels of silver a year.
The annual income of these peasants, who are digging in the soil, is only about seven or eight taels a year.
A child who reads and reads has lost half of the silver, and he really can't afford it.
If they want to have fewer schools, they can send their children to read and write.
To be honest, who doesn't want their children to have a good life and live a better life in the future.
I don't want to be promoted and make a fortune, so I change my court.
I just hope that he will stop digging in the soil like himself, facing the loess with his back to the sky, and working mediocre all his life.
"Over there in Yizhou, we have been established for a year, and more than 30 colleges estimate that the average annual cost of books is about 500 Wen, and you only need to pay so much money to send your children to study and read."
Gu Huanhuan paused and continued to add, "However, we only accept children between the ages of seven and sixteen, and we are only responsible for enlightenment, teaching reading and literacy, and not including schoolwork in the direction of the imperial examination.
Students who are over the age or want to take the direction of the imperial examination will have to find another college when the time comes.
All books in the Hope Academy are purchased by the Hope Academy.
You only need to pay so much money to the academy to send your children to study and read, and the academy does not include room and board, I hope you understand. ”
After Gu Huanhuan was entrusted by Huang Feiyan, he has been thinking about how to build the Hope Academy so that most people can benefit.
Truly let the poor children have a chance to read and write.
Later, she calculated many times in her heart that this era was dominated by imperial examinations, but studying science was not a year or two to achieve admission qualifications.
She established a public welfare college, and if she really wants to train talents for the imperial examination, it will be at a low fee.
There are many people who will definitely occupy the pit and not, resulting in a waste of resources.
Later, she changed her strategy and only taught some arithmetic to foreign countries.
