"Uncle, how did you decide in the end?"

Wang Si said: "What else? It's a good idea, and of course it should be adopted. The imperial court can run official schools, and we can also respond to the call of the imperial court to build private academies on a large scale and fully support the literacy plan for everyone, can the imperial court still oppose it? ”

Wang Jishan was silent, it was impossible for the imperial court to object, even if the emperor did not want to open the door to cultivate guests, it was impossible to openly oppose it, it was to shoot himself in the foot.

"The common people have a lot of criticism of us nobles, we open the academy widely, will they come to study?"

Wang Si laughed: "Before there was no official school in the imperial court, these people were crowded to know a few words, some came to us to borrow books, some listened to and borrowed, and so on......"

"Now, although the imperial court has opened government-run schools in various places, the conditions are limited, just one gentleman, how many students can be taught? And the three volumes of Mengxue are too simple, what about after everyone is literate? Who will teach? ”

"The scriptures of those saints are not something that any one person can tell."

"As long as there are still people among the people who want to become officials in the imperial examination, they must learn advanced knowledge, then they have no choice, and the academy we run is the best place to go."

However, there is only one problem......

What's the problem?

"It's too expensive! It is pointless to just open a school in each family place, at most a hundred or ten students are taught, and they are all the original people of our clan land, and they are originally our people. ”

"Therefore, if you want to do it, you can run private schools in various places, and the hand of the imperial court cannot reach out of the place...... Roughly calculated, just if you want to run a school in a state, the cost will occupy 10% of the annual income of each of our families. ”

So much?

Wang Jishan was stunned.

How much does each family earn in a year? Wang Jishan doesn't know the specific accounts, but he still has a general idea, for example, Taiyuan Wang's family operates almost the country's cloth industry, clothing, food, housing and transportation, and how much is the profit?

Let's put it this way, compared with Wang's annual income, the treasury silver is a drop in the bucket. (Of course, also because the treasury doesn't have much money right now.) ）

Wang's income is huge, and there is a lot of expenditure, compared to such a large family, the larger the upper system, the more huge the need for huge financial support, so once take out a percentage of the income to open another door, in exchange for anyone will have to hurt the muscles and bones, and they must be considered carefully.

"Since it costs a lot of money to open a school, what will the court and Xiao Rui do? Are they richer than our family combined? Wang Jishan was puzzled.

Wang Si couldn't answer this question, he had a guess, that is, Xiao Rui's cost of making paper and printing books was extremely low and very low, but there was no tangible evidence.

That's right, that's the technology gap.

Each family runs a private school, and it is not only the house and the teacher who invests in it, but also books, paper and pencils, etc., especially books and paper, which are not cheap to buy at the market price. If you open a school, you need to print out the texts and texts, which is the biggest expense.

But they didn't know that Xiao Rui was all over the place to learn three volumes, and the cost was outrageously low.

Qinghe Cui's people may know, but because of the agreement with Xiao Rui, they dare not reveal it, which pits other teammates.

There is another gap. The imperial court only opened schools in various counties and counties, and the academies and private schools of the major families will be opened all over those villages and towns where the population is concentrated, so it is much more than the academies of the imperial court, and the cost is huge.

Soon, the news of the actions of the major families reached Chang'an, and Li Er was originally a little worried, the other party was robbing people from the imperial court, but after discussing with Xiao Rui, he couldn't help laughing, this is a pit!

The major families knew that it was a pit, but they had to step on it.

"You're a bad boy!"

I?

"Your Majesty, this is not my plan."

"Oh? Someone else? Zhao Deyan? ”

Xiao Rui whispered: "That vicious Zheng family son." ”

Burst......

Li Er couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "It's really interesting." Or are they ruthless themselves. ”

"We didn't expect them to be actively involved in running the school. To run a school, you have to buy paper, printing, etc., hehe, you are in business again. ”

Xiao Rui also nodded and said, "Yes, this money is earned...... Even I feel a little black-hearted. ”

"It doesn't matter, after earning the money and sending it to the imperial court, we will invest more in the government-run schools. In the future, they will inevitably compete with the government-run schools. Li Er proposed.

Xiao Rui: ...... You seem worse, don't you? Earn other people's money, and then use that money to fight people?

In Chang'an City, Niu Jinda found Chai Shao, who was temporarily living in the capital.

"Metropolitan Governor, please worry more about the dog."

Niu Jinda once served under Chai Shao, so the two sides have a relationship.

And Chai Shao is the husband of the eldest princess of Pingyang in the Tang Dynasty, and he is Xiao Rui's uncle according to his seniority.

Chai Shao was not stupid, he had already inquired about the current situation, so he shirked and said: "Jinda, it's not that I don't help, but you also saw that I am not qualified enough." ”

"Even Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, has eaten behind closed doors, I am just Xiao Rui's uncle, in terms of relationship, I am not as good as Li Daozong, how can I talk well?"

"Even if you talk to each other, can Xiao Rui agree? I just refuted Li Daozong's face, and now give me Chai Shao's face? Do you think the champion Hou would be so unwise? ”

Niu Jinda shook his head, "The last general also knows that this matter is too difficult, but when he asks to see His Majesty, His Majesty avoids it, and the last general has no connections, so he can only come to beg you." ”

"You also know that the last general has only one son, and I don't mind whether he is successful or not, but the dog fell from a horse and was injured when he was young, and became a lame disability, and he ......"

A seven-foot man burst into tears as he spoke, and Chai Shao couldn't help but be moved when he saw it.

"Everywhere the dog goes, he is discriminated against, and he doesn't want him to get ahead, but just wants him to have a real ability to settle down. When the end of the year is old, the dog can live well, that's all......"

Chai Shao sighed with emotion: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and enter the ......"

After thinking for a long time, Chai Shao had an idea, "You just said that the virtuous nephew's foot is disabled?" ”

Niu Jinda nodded: "Yes, when he was ten years old, he fell from a horse and was trampled on his right foot, and now his right foot is only half of the ball, and his movement is very inconvenient." ”

Chai Shao stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, good ......"

Yes? What's going on? My son is disabled, you applaud loudly? Niu Jinda looked at Chai Shao with a strange face.

Chai Shao hurriedly explained: "Jinda, I'm not laughing at my nephew's legs and feet. I mean, with this particular circumstance, I have something to say to Champion Hou. Don't forget, the champion Hou is a miracle doctor, not to mention apprenticeship, it's not too much to look for him to see the disease, right? ”

See?

Niu Jinda was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized, "Thank you for your advice, I'm going to bring the child over." ”

"Okay, I'll let someone prepare the car, you bring the child over, and we'll go to Xiaojiazhuang together."
