Chapter 250: I want to start a college
"In the end, your father's promotion is a good thing for you and the entire Ye family." Yao Dong smiled, "Even if we are a mountain village, we are also honored." ”
The mountain village is just a small village in the middle of nowhere, and there have never been any serious scholars.
If you are lucky enough to know a few words, it is already good. Now that there is a man who can raise people, it is naturally worthy of the joy of the whole village.
"Speaking of our village, in fact, I hope to build a academy in the village." Ye Xi said suddenly.
I had this idea before, but I didn't have any money in my hand at that time, so I naturally just thought about it.
Now she thinks that she has money in her hand, but she can also do something in the village.
So many children in the village spend their days playing in the river at the bottom of the mountain, but they have wasted their time.
"How could you suddenly have such an idea?"
"I think about the many children in our village, and there are very few who can actually go to school and know a few words, so many of them can only farm for generations and cannot leave that small village. I think that if you can read and hyphenate, it will be different after all! ”
"Your idea is not bad, but even if you set up an academy, I'm afraid that few families are willing to go." Yao Dong smiled bitterly.
In fact, there is a academy in the town, which is not far from the backing village, and there are still few people in the village who go to the academy.
The children in the village do not go to the academy, not because there is no academy in the village, but because no one is wealthy, and they spend a lot of money in the academy for many years.
What's more, there are still many people who feel that studying is useless, and there is no need to spend money and years on it.
Although many people seem to have great respect for readers, in fact, they still feel that reading is useless in their hearts!
After all, there are still not many people who can read to become officials. At least there are too few officials compared to so many scholars in the world.
No matter how many people read a book for a lifetime, it is difficult to make progress. Once you can't get ahead, no matter how much you read, you can still only stay in the village and work.
Looking at those who have been studying and spending their time but can't get out of the village, of course, some people will feel that reading is useless.
Therefore, the children in the village do not study, one is poor, and the other is that the elders do not think that reading is good.
"If you don't restrain yourself, I think there will be a lot of people who are willing." Ye Xi said with a smile, "Anyway, when the child is young, he can't help the family much, and there are still people in the academy to help take care of it, so you don't have to worry about the child being in danger, or where to get into trouble." ”
Half-grown children in the village are expected to help the family, but younger children cannot really be used as laborers.
Sometimes children are too naughty, but adults have to keep an eye on them, lest something happen.
"Don't rein in? You have to think about it. Yao Dong looked at Ye Xi seriously. If you support it alone, it is not a trivial matter for many years. ”
Naturally, the maintenance of the academy requires silver, one for all kinds of pen and ink books, and the other for Mr. Please.
The academy collects a little restraint from each child, which does not look much, but it can add up to a lot, and it is enough for the expenses of the academy.
But if you are free from the shackles, and one person gives out all of them, it is a lot of silver.
A month or two months has been completed, and after a long time, it is a little difficult to say.
"I want to buy some property, and the harvest and everything will go to the academy, so that it can be used for the normal operation of the academy."
"If you think about it, I naturally don't have anything to say, but I should thank you."
