Chapter 57: For the Rich (Thank You)

In a flash, a year has passed.

In the four years before and after, the first class of students from the private school graduated, some went to herd cattle, and some went to school in the county's government-run schools.

And Bai Ze has no plans to recruit the second class of students for the time being, because in the past four years, he has experienced everything that should be experienced.

Teaching has become boring.

What's more, he has to leave a way for the other teachers in the town to live, he is experiencing life, but people rely on this to support their families.

"What? Mr. Mo is no longer taught? ”

"Hey, Mr. Mo teaches so well, why don't you teach, where will I find such a good Mr. in the future?"

"That's right, Mr. Mo doesn't teach, who will take care of the children's food in the future?"

Many people are heartbroken, because many families send their children to Bai Ze's private school just to save some food rations for their families.

The main thing is affordability!

Now, Bai Ze's private school is closed, and many people suddenly realize that the Engel coefficient at home has skyrocketed, and they are immediately embarrassed.

"Sir!"

The day after the private school was closed, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy appeared at the gate of the private school with a sack.

"Xu Dong, why are you here?"

Bai Ze opened the door and smiled gently.

"Sir, this year's harvest is good, my mother asked me to send you some souvenirs, I hope you don't dislike it." Xu Dong put down the sack, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and smiled brightly.

"Hehe, I have a heart."

Bai Ze nodded, and then asked, "How is your studies, have you gone to the county school to register?" ”

"Go. Now His Majesty is merciful, the county school no longer charges tuition, and the textbooks are free, but you still have to buy other books yourself. ”

Xu Dong said with a smile.

Bai Ze smiled, the people of Dongbao Kingdom are now living and working in peace and contentment, this Emperor Hui is still quite qualified as a king, and it is not in vain to spare his life.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What have you been studying lately?" ”

"Well, I am studying Wensheng's "Commentary on the Former Sage Sutra", but the content in it is too profound, and I can see it in the clouds, and under the guidance of the county master, I can only understand a little bit of the skin. The Master said that he himself only knew a little bit about the surface, and that he was only guiding, and that we had to rely on ourselves to comprehend it. ”

Bai Ze smiled and said: "This book is an obscure type of work, it is normal to be difficult to understand, you can start with Wen Sheng's other works, and when you get used to her style, you will gradually be able to touch the bypass." ”

"I'd like to, too, but...... Those books are not textbooks, you have to buy them yourself, and the price is not cheap. No, it's ridiculously expensive! ”

Xu Dongdong said with a bitter face.

"Wen Sheng's books, are they all very expensive?"

Bai Ze frowned slightly, because he remembered that all the works of the little girl were copyrightless and did not charge royalties.

It was the little girl who gave up by herself, and the little girl had the world in her heart and hoped that the children of the poor families in the world would have books to read.

"Yes, it's very expensive, a copy of "The Biography of Bai Ze" costs two taels of silver, and the long works of "Under Heaven", "Strange Wonders", and "Travels to a Hundred Kingdoms" even cost four or five taels of silver, and ordinary people can't afford it at all."

Xu Dong said with a bitter face.

"Nonsense!"

A flash of anger flashed between Bai Ze's eyebrows, because he knew that the cost of printing and sales was not very high.

Even if the market premium is added, a book should not be so outrageously expensive, it must be a big mouse!

The little girl gave up the copyright in order to let the children of the poor families in the world have books to read, and she couldn't imagine that someone would make ill-gotten gains from it.

This feeling is like the little girl's hard-earned food, but she is not willing to eat it, but she is trampled by others!

"You guys are so bold!!"

He was completely angry, in fact, he had rarely been angry over the years, but today, someone had touched his bottom line.

"Sir, what is your ......"

Xu Dong was also taken aback by his sudden anger, because he had never seen his husband get so angry.

And this momentum ...... It's really scary.

"You go to the private school and sit down, stay for dinner at noon, and tell Bai Yu and Zou Yan that I won't come back for lunch."

With that, he hurried towards the street ahead.

……

The Golden Castle is the most prosperous city in Toho Province.

It is located in an important transportation area and is the headquarters of many chambers of commerce.

If the capital is the political center, it is the economic center, and countless wealthy businessmen are here to guide the country and get drunk on money.

At this time, a group of wealthy businessmen chartered a large restaurant and had fun in the palace-like lobby.

In the center of the lobby, more than 20 coolly dressed dancers danced, while singers sang and played the piano around.

A dozen merchants sat at low tables, enjoying food and wine and watching the dances, accompanied by charming women.

"Hahaha, everyone, we have made another great achievement in the accounts of the silver money this quarter, and for this, a toast."

One of the obese middle-aged men raised his glass and laughed.

"Hahaha,!"

"Gotta do it!"

Other wealthy businessmen raised their glasses one after another, drank them all, and some couldn't drink it, so they pulled the charming woman next to them and forcibly poured it down.

"Who would have thought that selling books would be more profitable than our trafficking in illicit salt and human trafficking, it's really ridiculous, hahaha!"

"Yes, yes, they all say that poor scholars, poor scholars, who would have thought that these scholars would be so rich."

"Hehe, it's not that they have money, but because these books are too important, related to their future, even if they smash the pot and sell iron, they have to buy it, I have seen a family that sold their daughter to buy books for their son."

"These people are really ignorant, useless scholars, but they are willing to smash pots and sell iron in order to study, tsk......"

"Then again, they don't know where we get our money. Come on, come on, toast to their foolishness! ”

"Hahaha, cheers!"

So, these wealthy businessmen raised their glasses again, and they got carried away one by one, as if the country was at their feet.

"Hiss......"

After a rich businessman drank a glass of wine, he seemed to be spicy, and his facial features were distorted to put down the wine glass, and then he smiled and spoke.

"Speaking of which, this time we have to thank the Teng family's idiot, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have dared to operate Wen Sheng's works privately, but with him as the boss on the surface, we have nothing to fear."

"That's natural, Wen Sheng is from the Teng family and has never married, and now these people in the Teng family are the descendants of her younger brothers, and they can be regarded as her legal heirs, and it is natural to inherit the copyright of her works."

"However, I heard that Wensheng gave up the copyright a long time ago."

"Hehe, that's true, but few people know about it, and few people in Dongbao Kingdom know about it at all. And even if you know, what? If the Teng family wants to take back the copyright, does the others have the right to protest? ”

"Yes, yes, who dares to protest? Protest is blasphemy! What's the matter, one by one, you want to watch the juniors of the Wen Sheng family starve to death? ”

"That's right, Wen Sheng has made such a great feat for the human race, but his descendants have nothing to eat, is this like words? Like words! Hahahaha. ”

"So, as long as the Teng family's idiot is tied to our ship, the imperial court can't say anything, even if those scholars complain, they can't say anything, they can't attack their beloved Wensheng, right?"

"Hehehe, this is a reader, pedantic, stupid, even a little cute, I like them so much."

"You like their money, don't you?"

"Tell the truth, aren't you? Hahaha, come on, drink and drink, don't get drunk today! ”

"After drinking, don't you want to enjoy it? My subordinates have got a few girls from good families, or chicks, are you interested? ”

"Haha, I'm tired of playing with the dozen or so vulgar fans at home, and I'm thinking about letting them evaporate from the world, so I've thought about where to throw them."

"Tsk tsk, the hero sees the same thing......"

At this moment, the sky outside suddenly darkened, lightning and thunder, and the wind blew in with dead leaves, stirring the curtains of the lobby.

"Ahh

The two dozen or so dancing girls were blown to the side, and the gauze skirts were blown up, almost covering their faces.

And the wealthy businessmen were blown blind, their beards fluttered, and some even had their hats blown off, revealing the classic Mediterranean.

"What's going on?!"

"Why is it suddenly such a big demonic wind?"

"Close the door, close the door!"

The wealthy merchants were furious and yelled.

The servants in the house quickly ran over and pushed the door with great difficulty, and finally closed the two gates more than three meters high.

"Bang-"

The next moment, however, the door slammed open, and the minions flew out with smoke and yellow leaves, and the wind poured in again.

Along with it, there is also a majestic figure in white clothes and white hair!
