Chapter 126: Township School Fails?

Jia Yu still got the appropriation, although there was no extra silver taels in the household department, but the saint still took out 500,000 taels from his inner treasury for Jia Yu to use, this is because he is eager to carry out the plan of promotion and education, or because he remembered Jia Yu's previous goodness, only the saint knows.

Jia Yu has money in his hands and is not panicking, although 500,000 yuan is a bit insufficient for the plan to promote the township school to the entire Dakang Dynasty, but if it is only held in a place near the capital, it is more than enough, of course, this 500,000 also includes the follow-up expenses for a period of time in the future.

"Master Jia, I'm in trouble. The little official under Jia Yu walked in in a panic.

Things were going on in an orderly manner, Jia Yu didn't expect that there would be trouble all of a sudden, and after putting down the book in his hand, he asked, "What happened?"

"The masters who had promised to teach in the township school suddenly quit. The little official said that he knew that running a township school was something that the saint valued very much, and if something happened to the township school, he was afraid that the person in charge of them would not turn out well.

"How can this be? Didn't you tell the matter before?" Jia Yu stood up, this is not a trivial matter, what can the master do without the village school. Jia Yu immediately took the little officials and went to the masters to ask them clearly.

The places where the township school is run are all in the royal farm, because the object of the township school is the children in the farm, enlighten the children, and then select the best from them to further cultivate, and use the quantity to counter the quality of the family officials. Of course, the township school is run in the royal farm, and there is also the meaning of beware of the family's manipulation.

And most of the masters invited by the township school are depressed talents, and they didn't pass the Jinshi after taking the exam a few times. Frustrated, he wanted to try his luck in the yamen and became a master, but he didn't have such connections, so he could only stoop to a few children in the village to earn some money. Life is not bad, and it is definitely not much better, after all, how many families in the village can afford to let their children study.

So basically, Jia Yu invited them to come to the countryside to study, and they definitely helped them, and their life of looking at the number of students and eating suddenly became a drought and flood to ensure their income. Now I don't know why I don't know why I don't do it collectively, and if I only notify him at this tense time on the eve of the start of the township school, it's really not authentic.

"Master Jia, I know I'm sorry for you, but I still have to say sorry to you. This is the fifth time Jia Yu has heard similar words today.

"Master Chen, this is a big deal, but I don't really understand why I suddenly rejected the matter of the township master. "That's not what Jia Yu wants to hear.

Chen Fuzi also knew that he owed Jia Yu an explanation, but he was just a small person, and some words could not come out of his mouth.

"Master Jia, I am old and have no ambitions, but my children still want people to go to higher places. He can't say it explicitly, he can only hint at Jia Yu like this, in fact, if it's just him, he would still prefer to stay in the village school and live a stable life, but it's a pity that his child is still young, and he wants to go further after winning Xiucai. So I can only live up to Jia Yu's kindness.

"As the saying goes, raising a child is a hundred years old, and he is ninety-nine years old, I hope that Chen Fuzi's children will not live up to your hard work, and I will not bother and say goodbye. Jia Yu heard something from it, so he was also satisfied with his farewell.

"Master Jia walks slowly. Master Chen sent Jia Yu outside the house, and Jia Yu left with a smile.

Jia Yu walked outside the village, and the little official who had just left to find out the news from other villagers walked quickly to Jia Yu's side.

"My lord, the little one has inquired, and sure enough, as you expected, someone returned to the village with Master Chen's son a few days ago. The little official immediately wanted to ask for mercy.

"Do you know who is here?" Although Jia Yu could guess the identity of the person, he still had to confirm it.

"The name of the village says that I have never seen it, but it looks like a housekeeper or something. The officer shook his head, and told him everything he had heard.

"But are they too dog-eyed to look down on people, I used to see adults and look like dogs, but today I almost have a nose on my forehead. The little official was upset for Jia Yu.

The words of the little official reminded Jia Yu of the attitudes of several masters, Master Chen is already the one with the best attitude, maybe Master Chen is older and has more experience, so he is more tactful, even if he refuses, he will not offend people.

However, the previous few may be young, and their attitudes towards Jia Yu's arrival are completely different from before. In order to show that he attaches great importance to the township school, Jia Yu personally hired him, although they did not grovel at that time, but the flattering expression on their faces was a lot. Their performance towards Jia Yu's arrival this time was simply different, and Jia Yu could even see the disdain for him in their eyes.

"My lord, what are we going to do now? Where did we find so many masters in such a short time?" asked the little official worriedly, it had only been a few days since he left his hometown to study, and there were only a few masters left behind. These people are still old, their ambitions are gone, and they just want to spend the rest of their lives in peace.

"What else can I do, of course, is to report to the Holy Lord, and wait for the Holy Lord to make a decision. Jia Yu said angrily.

"In that case, my lord ... The little official didn't finish his words, but Jia Yu also knew that the little official was worried that he was going to take the blame.

"Don't worry, although you will be punished, it will not be serious. The little official thought that Jia Yu's words were to comfort him, and in his opinion, if he messed up such an important matter, it was already a gift that the saint did not cut off Jia Yu's head.

Jia Yu didn't want the little official to explain so much, in fact, he had already expected these emergencies, and he had reported them to the Holy Lord, and even the emergency measures had been prepared, although the master's collective resignation was sudden, but it was still in his expectation. He is just lamenting the inadequacy of people's hearts.

Regarding the disdain in the eyes of the masters, perhaps Jia Yu didn't understand how this disdain came from at first, but then Jia Yu understood: they thought that they had a backer, and their wings were hardened, and this backer could even make them feel that the scholars of the Hanlin Academy and the status of the nobles could be contemptible.

What other backer is so powerful besides the saint? The answer is that there is a family. Only the family will look down on the nobles, and only the family will make people think that the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is an official who can't get on the stage.

Jia Yu knew that this was the family's counterattack, and they thought that by emptying the silver taels in the household department, they would let the saint know the family's attitude, and then no longer handle the matter of village school. But they didn't expect that the saint would rather continue to run the school out of his own pocket, or take out 500,000 taels at once, which shows the saint's determination.
