Qin Mingyue nodded and said, "Speaking of which, the production of these two Zhuangzi is actually not exhausted. If you level out the good years and the bad years, how can you have a profit of four or five hundred taels of silver a year? Otherwise, you and the second uncle will calculate that our school will not only cover the expenses of the husband, but also the money for the disciple's clothes throughout the year. Our school should unify clothes. In addition, each person will be given pen, ink, paper and inkstone every month. It can't be wasted, but it must be enough. ”

"Also, every morning there is breakfast, a snack between classes, and a lunch at noon. There was also a snack in the afternoon. Let our disciples eat well, keep warm, and study well. ”

"Also, in this enlightened disciple class, not only the seats and benches must be prepared with strong and durable ones. Even the books used should be provided by our school. It's just to learn a few words from "Three", "Hundred", "Thousand", "Book of Songs" and "Book of Filial Piety". It's not enough to just be an old showman, it's best to invite two old showmen to give the same silver. The children have been studying for two years, and if they fail the assessment, they will invite him home if they are sure that they have no talent for reading. Such a child can't read, but he can read and write, and he can go to the shop as an apprentice. I can also recommend going to the Star Picking Tower to continue studying, and I can become a craftsman, a small official or something in the future. You can also enter our shop. At present, we only have a few shops, but in the future, I will buy more fields and shops. Naturally, a lot of talent is needed. ”

"If it is those who have the talent to read and can go to school, they will all be handed over to the primary school hall and carefully taught by the great Confucian I invited. The number of people is small now, and in the future, if there are more people, I will invite a few more. Let's see if we can cultivate a few more famous reading seeds for our family. ”

"By the way, not only the children of our family can come, but also the children of the clan and relatives. As long as you have a referral from our family or clan. Even the children of the servants of the family can go to school if they want to. ”

Qin Guosong didn't expect his sister's mind to be so broad. Not only did he want to provide for the children of the clan to study, but he could even accept the children of the servants to study.

Qin Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "It can't be like this, after all, the identity is different." Anyway, I know the courtyard in the front yard of our house, it's a small courtyard with three entrances, I don't know how you distribute it? ”

Qin Guosong hurriedly said: "That courtyard of Sanjin was originally used as a school in our family. However, they have since been idle. We planned to use the backyard as a library cabinet, and the backyard was a row of small two-story buildings, which was more suitable as a library cabinet. The first is a place for children who have learned to study, and the second is a place for talented children to learn from Confucianism. The wings on both sides serve as a pantry, a resting place for the servants. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Yes, it's good for you to do this." In this way, isn't there three left and right wings in the first and left wings? It was all opened up as a place for the children of the servants of the family to study. Also, if the servants of the family want to read and write, they can go to the right wing room to learn. There is also an additional Xiucai to teach the servants' children to read. If you have talent, we will cultivate it the same, if you don't have talent, when you are older, you will go to the right wing room and follow the shopkeepers I invited to learn arithmetic, accounts and other miscellaneous studies. In the future, we will be able to nurture human resources for our family. ”

Qin Guosong's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of it." Most of our servants are still newly bought, and they need to be trained in all aspects. This rule is easy, and Mama Ma has been training for half a year. However, this literacy, housekeeping, and accounting are still much worse. It would be nice if there was a place to teach the servants to learn, and in the future, we would train a few more masters, and we would have someone to manage the property in the future. Now, we have no way to open a business in the shop on West Street given by my sister, because we don't have talents in this area, so we can only collect a rent. It's a pity. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Then let's decide like this." It's just that, in this way, not only does the money for buying the fields increase, but it also supplies these, and there is almost a lot of extra silver a year, right? ”

Qin Guosong made a rough calculation in his heart and said, "With this supply, our academy will probably cost six or seven hundred taels a year. This requires the purchase of these two Zhuangzi, and the harvest must be harvested every year. ”

Qin Mingyue said: "That's easy to do, you go back and roughly calculate, let's just give the annual rules in this way, and I will give a thousand taels in the first year." Because I also have to buy chairs, buy some books, and the library is not so ugly if there is not a single book. You also have to talk to the economists about these two Zhuangzi and buy them. Also, around the capital, if there is no suitable Zhuangzi, you can go to Zhili Province to buy it, and it is next to each other anyway. The fields in Zhili Province are cheaper than those around the capital, and the output can be more than that around the capital, which is nothing more than troublesome management. Just buy the bigger ones. Prepare more money for the clan school. In the year of plenty, you shall also leave the silver of the year of calamity. So I will give you a total of twenty thousand taels of silver. It will be used to buy land and property, and you will be given another thousand taels of silver, and you will be able to do the clan study first. ”

Qin Mingyue called Dongqu over and took a thousand taels of silver tickets and gave them to Qin Guosong. Qin Guosong didn't postpone it, so he went next.

Qin Mingyue said: "I hope that after the family study is completed, our Qin family can have more talents and more reading seeds, which is the sign of the prosperity of the big family of poetry and book inheritance." ”

Qin Guosong also felt that this was a great thing for a prosperous family, and couldn't help but nod.

Qin Mingyue said again: "As for the 20,000 taels of silver, I may have to wait a while before I can give it to you." It's early autumn now, and it's only a month or two. By the way, I told you before that I wanted you to buy some property for your family, what do you think? ”

Qin Guosong said: "My sister also saw that even if it is to buy a small Zhuangzi for the school, it is very difficult to be around the capital. What's more, it's a big Zhuangzi that our family wants to buy an industry? Therefore, I entrusted someone to find it in Zhili Province and the neighboring Lu Province and Western Province. Even Jiangnan, I asked someone to inquire. I inquired about a few places. They all have to wait for the autumn harvest before they can sell it to us empty. ”

Among them, the fields in the south of the Yangtze River are rich and prolific, and the price is much cheaper than that in the capital. This has encountered floods again, and there are many people who sell land cheaply. In the capital, I know of a few big families, who took advantage of this opportunity to send people south to buy land. The second uncle told me about this some time ago, and he also sent someone to inquire. He still has some money in his hands, so he also wants to take the opportunity to buy some. ”

"I just thought, after the banquet, I will free my hands and send someone to follow the second uncle to Jiangnan to buy some land and come back."
