He Shun found Bai Muban and the village chief to discuss the opening of a private school in Shenshu Village.

"I've thought about this before, but it's not that easy to open a private school."

Village Chief Zhao spit bitterness.

The last time the county magistrate praised him for his meritorious education, he wanted to open a private school, but due to the conditions, he never started it.

First, Shenshu Village makes a living from farming, and everyone has at most a mix of food and clothing, and it will cost most of the family's expenses to study for a year, so how can the villagers afford to study.

This is just the cost of enlightening the private school, really thinking about it, and going to the exam must not empty the family foundation.

The reason why the old Bai family has been poor for so many years is because of Bai Erzhuang's study.

Speaking of which, Village Chief Zhao not only admires Bai Muban, but now he is not the fourth child of the Bai family, and once he sends the boy to study, it is rare in the entire Nanguan Town.

He suspected that in a few years, the family foundation saved by the old Bai family from giving birth to a daughter would be ruined again.

Like him, he has saved most of his life's silver, and he only dares to let his eldest grandson go to school.

Second, even if a private school is opened, there are children in the village who are willing to study, but there are no teachers.

Bai Erzhuang is ready-made, but how can there be a bundle in the village to teach him, and the second child of the Bai family can't be allowed to teach voluntarily.

"Steward He, your owner, Lao Xia's family, has a big business, please ask a gentleman to play with it, we can't do it in our village." Village Chief Zhao sighed.

He knew that Ah Zhen studied every day, and he invited a famous teacher to sit at home, and only taught him one in the morning and evening.

"Steward He, your young master is not worried about studying, why do you still want Zhang Luo to open a private school in the village?" Thinking of this, Village Chief Zhao didn't understand Steward He's intentions.

Could it be that the businessman got into the eyes of the money and tried every means to get a private school to make money from the people in the village.

That was a wrong idea, and now the village is full of Bai family, the village chief's family, and Wu Langzhong's family, these three families sent their children to private school.

There is no way to make other people's money.

"Don't get me wrong, village chief. Now my young master is also a member of Shenshu Village, he plays with the children in our village, and says that he can't bear the suffering of illiterate children in the village, so he wants to open a private school. He Shun said with a smile.

The pain of being illiterate?

Is there poverty and suffering?

Ah Zhen, the son of a rich and noble family, naturally doesn't know.

The village chief looked at He Shun with a strange expression.

He Shun continued: "My young master said that if you want to come to study, you only need to pay five catties of millet a year. ”

Originally, Ah Zhen wanted it to be completely free.

But Wu Xiaoying held a negative view on the side, he said that if it was free, everyone would not cherish the opportunity to study, and it would be better to symbolically collect some money.

Five catties of millet was set by He Shun, saying that it is not too much, and it is not much less, but the children in the village can afford it if they miss it.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Village Chief Zhao smiled on his face: "Five catties of millet, good, good." Who does that gentleman invite? ”

Five catties of grain, he didn't dare to let the Ming Confucianism invited by the Xia family with a huge amount of money to teach these country boys.

He Shun arched his hand towards the white plank and said, "Isn't this just inviting Big Brother Bai to come out?" I thought about the second child of the Bai family going back to the village to sit in a private school. ”

Bai Muban heard that a private school was set up in the village, and he supported it with both hands.

In this way, his children will not have to run back and forth when they go to private school in the future.

Jiro's legs are inconvenient, but he can also listen.

He also plans to send his daughter to school, and at the door of the house, he no longer worries about his daughter being bullied in the private school.

"That's a good idea." Bai Muban sighed sincerely, "Steward He, you have a good idea." Whether it's your young master, such a small person can think about the cycle. ”

Bai Muban originally had a sesame big thing about Ah Zhen, and Steward He called his daughter to resist.

Now he is boasting about Ah Zhen again.

"I'm going to send a message to my second child and ask him if he's willing. But what a housekeeper, I usually don't care about my son's business, and he has to be willing to do this. "The white plank came out with an old father image who respected his son.

He Shun misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Brother Bai, in addition to the five catties of rice for each child, there are four taels of silver more than in the town every month. ”

Bai Plank's eyes lit up.

The Xia family is really arrogant, and this treatment is very good.

The masters in the town's private schools who are more qualified than Bai Erzhuang do not have this income.

"I'll tell him that and let him decide." Bai Muban said.

Village Chief Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried about the matter, but he didn't expect the Xia family to solve it together.

Next, Steward He said even more exciting news: "The paper, ink, pen and inkstone for reading are contained in five catties of grain. ”

Village Chief Zhao was so excited that he wanted to hold Steward He's hand, and he burst into tears.

How much does pen, ink, paper, and inkstone cost, contained in five catties of grain, the Xia family's Ah Zhen is simply a great sage at a young age.

Five catties of millet are not much, and every family can afford it, but thinking of a large amount of expenses for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it will also hinder everyone from sending their children to study.

Now that this worry is solved, he will be able to convince every family to let their children go to school.

Thinking of the county order coming again next time, he was excited when he heard Lang Lang's reading.

Village Chief Zhao and Bai Muban didn't know that the matter of providing pen, ink, paper and inkstone was brought up by Ah Zhen.

At that time, Steward He was still hesitant, and Ah Zhen said with a small face, I was supported by the people of Great Xia, and it was not appropriate to provide pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

And so it was settled.

Bai Muban planned to go to a private school in person and tell Bai Erzhuang about it.

He also felt that it was better for Bai Erzhuang to return to the village, he usually taught, farmed in his spare time, earned a lot of silver, and the Bai family had half an extra laborer.

The next day, Bai Muban went to the private school in a hurry, and gave Bai Erzhuang a careful analysis of this matter.

Bai Erzhuang also thinks that it is better to go back to the village, but it will take half a month to arrange the things in the private school.

Bai Zhaomei was very excited when she learned that she would be able to study in the village in the future.

The village has to run a private school.

The Xia family is also providing pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and providing restraints for Mr. Teaching, so the venue will not be placed in the Xia family's house.

Finally, I thought of a ruined temple at the entrance of the village, and I don't know which dynasty a temple was abandoned, and there were neither nuns nor monks or incense offerings.

The site is very large, and the temple can be used as a private school after repair.

Repairs require manpower, and Village Chief Zhao decided to involve the whole village in this matter, after all, the private school is not his alone, but the whole village.

Village Chief Zhao sounded the gongs and drums of the village's deliberations.

As soon as I heard that the village was going to repair the broken temple as a private school, before Village Chief Zhao finished speaking, the bottom exploded.

"What? Do you want to open a private school in the village? ”

"It has nothing to do with my family, and my children don't study."

"The village chief just wants to play one out at a time, how can he have spare money to study. Everyone knows that studying is good, but there is no money. ”

"Even if you have money, not everyone can read it well, and if you don't read it well, your efforts will be in vain."

"No, the second child of the Bai family has been studying for so many years, so he should be a poor talent, and how many houses will he have to build with the money for his study."
