Chapter 40 Kou Ke can go to me or to say that the person who cares most about children's reading in the entire courtyard is none other than Yuan Shiqing.Who made him the only scholar in the Quan family's compound besides Quan Xu?
He looked at Quan Xu curiously and asked, "Owner, is the tuition fee of this school expensive?"
”The cost of reading and studying in the Ming Dynasty was very high, to give the simplest example, a book of about 5,000 words of "Tao Te Ching", the normal price on the market is five or six hundred Wen, that is, five or six dollars of silver, equivalent to the price of thirty catties of rice, except for the "Peace Sutra", all the books on the market can not be sold at this price.In addition to books and pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, the teacher's fee is also very high, and a rich peasant family cannot afford to support a scholar at all, and the scholar is at least supported by the entire family or a clan collective, and it may not be successful.Of course, this is related to the extremely low admission rate of the Ming Dynasty, once every three years of the imperial examination, taking the first year of Chongzhen as an example, there are three first-class jinshi, respectively, Chen Yutai, the champion Chen Yutai, Wu Weiye, Tanhua Xiarihu, the second class gives sixty-seven jinshi, and the third class gives the same jinshi two hundred and seventy-nine people, a total of three hundred and forty-nine people.Postdoc, very awesome.Since 2015, China has enrolled 17,000 people a year, and the Ming Dynasty's Jinshi was equivalent to nearly one-fiftieth of postdoctoral fellows.Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, there are more than 110 million undergraduates in China, and this proportion is even more frightening.Yuan Shiqing wanted Yuan Zongdi to study, and he named Yuan Zongdi, this word, in addition to the order of representation, is to represent the meaning of the branch and the house, and the first represents the house of officials and nobles.Of course, this is also the greatest expectation of a father for his son.Although he usually has Yuan Shiqing's teaching to Yuan Zongdi, he also knows a few words, and he can familiarize himself with "Hundred Family Names" or "Disciple Rules", of course, he still belongs to the enlightenment stage.Yuan Shiqing's own knowledge is limited, and he can only barely be regarded as a rough understanding of literature and ink, and he is also powerless for Yuan Zongdi's reading.Quan Xu waved his hand and said, "I can't afford to accept you, so I don't charge for it, why should I bother?"
This is a public benefit for everyone, everyone has a share, of course, if you really don't want your children to study, I can't help it. ”Zhuang Ding, who reacted, turned his head to ear and talked about it.Because there were too few scholars in the Ming Dynasty, the status of scholars was very high, even if they didn't have fame, such as people like Yuan Shiqing, they wouldn't be hungry, they didn't have to work hard to find something to do, it was much easier than ordinary people!
”What parent doesn't want their children to be educated?
It's just that in an era like the Ming Dynasty, the cost of studying was too high for ordinary families to afford, and there were very few schools.It is either an official school or a private school run by a landlord or a squire.The cost of official education is high, and the children of official eunuchs are needed, and the children of commoners have no chance.The landlord's private school only recruited the children of the clan, and the poor were not blessed.It can be said that the power to read and write has been monopolized by the rich, and the poor only have envy.Now, Quan Xu also wants to run a school.Of course, he is also a private school, and only admits his own children.The most excited thing is that those local young people who were originally going to join the Daimyo Mansion as Zhuang Ding of the Quan Family.A young man with an honest appearance, following Yuan Shiqing's example, raised his hand first: "Dong......
Eastern, I ......
I......
Can you ......"
Quan Xu thought that this person was stammering, but he didn't urge.The young man blushed and said: "I don't want to get into trouble, I sell myself to the owner, I have a nephew, under my name, can you come to school!"
”Quan Xu looked at this young man, and the other young men also looked forward to it.They need this hard-won opportunity, hoping to get a chance to change their fate."
This academy only recruits its own people!"
The honest young man suddenly got up, came to Quan Xu, and knelt in front of him: "Master Quan, I kowtow to you, I beg you to ......"
Quan Xu is not a bad person, he thought for a while and said: "It can be, but ......
To enter the Quan's Academy, you must be loyal to me!
”"I swear that Ma Dacheng will only be loyal to Master Quan in this life, and go to the soup and fire......
Knife mountain down the oil pot......
I......
Don't blink!
”Quan Xu thought about it, the school he prepared could accommodate three or four hundred people, but now all the children, including little children like Sixi, are only a few dozen, and teaching one is also teaching, and teaching a group is also teaching."
Yes!""
Xie Dongjia!""
I also swear, my nephew ......"
Soon, thirty-six young men, without exception, swore allegiance to Quan Xu.Quan Xu was so loud that he was fighting: "Don't talk, you people, each person can have two places!"
”The young men of the Daimyo Mansion wept with gratitude.Quan Xu looked at Yuan Shiqing and said: "Steward Yuan, you take a few people into the city tomorrow, bring silver, hire two gentlemen, one Langzhong, let's set up a clinic in the hospital, if anyone is sick in the future, go to the clinic to see, of course, no money is required to see a doctor, the premise is that it belongs to our own people, as long as we leave the Quan's, then we will no longer enjoy this treatment!"
”Everyone looked at each other for a while before they believed it to be true.Suddenly, everyone cried.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, medical care was poor, and almost everyone had relatives or friends, because there was no money for treatment, and they had to wait for death when they got sick.Quan Xu doesn't need Lang Zhong's high medical skills, he can buy some over-the-counter medicines such as cold medicines and anti-inflammatory drugs in the later generations.In this way, he can not only invest less, but also buy people's hearts."
The owner is a good person!"
Luo Shiming knelt down unconsciously, he was Quan Xu's second beneficiary, if it weren't for Quan Xu, Luo Shiming's son Luo Manfu would have died of illness.As Luo Shiming knelt down, all the people in the entire canteen knelt down.Everyone was crying, Quan Xu looked at everyone and said: "Recently, I found out that the new clothes I gave you, you are dressed in oily and shiny, you are simply called Hanako, this is not your fault, I will buy some clothes in a few days, two winter clothes each, replace them, and declare that if anyone dresses me as Hanako again, get out of here!"
”Everyone was slightly stunned and at a loss."
In the future, we will build a public bathhouse, and when the bathhouse is built, everyone must develop the habit of bathing every day, otherwise I will get out, and I won't live with sloppy ghosts!"
Everyone nodded their heads.In the end, Quan Xu pointed to the direction of the granary in the rear and said: "The husband is not guilty, he is guilty, this sentence means, we are good people, but there is no good reward for good people in this world, let's live behind closed doors, don't recruit anyone and don't mess with anyone, but the diamond forest leopard in Jiming County ran more than 200 miles to grab our grain, if the grain is robbed by them, what should we do?"
”The very honest and honest face of the famous mansion young strong horse Dacheng, with an iron face: "Fuck it!"
”"Yes!"
Quan Xu pointed at Luo Shiming and said: "We have seized a lot of guys, and we will send them to the big guys, knives, guns, sticks, swords, axes, axes, axes, forks, whatever it takes, as long as the bandits come again, it will be over!"
”Quan Xu organized a total of 107 middle-aged men, including forty or fifty middle-aged women, into three teams.Practice Kung Fu to save yourself.After arranging these things, Jeon Wook began to prepare to return to the afterlife.When he went back this time, he wasn't going to take the silver back.Silver was too cheap in later generations, and industrial silver was of high quality and low price.But the antiques, calligraphy and paintings seized from Zhou Chu, he was ready to take them back for cash, and by the way, he purchased a large number of materials.Just when Quan Xu filled a large box with antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and packed them separately, Sanniang came in."
Xianggong!""
What's wrong?""
That ......"
"Don't spit out!"
Quan Xu smiled, reached out and stroked Sanniang's head: "What's the matter?"
”"Those women in the backyard, you leave it to me!"
Quan Xu looked at Sanniang puzzled: "What do you want those women to do?"
”"Protect our backyard!"
Sanniang looked at Quan Xu and hesitated, she hurriedly said: "Don't look at me small, I have learned martial arts from my father, if you really fight, you are not my opponent!"
”"Cut!"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Jeon Wook didn't believe it."
Xianggong, I'm going to make a move!""
Come on, if you have any ability, just use it!"
Sanniang tiptoed a little to the ground, as if she pounced on Quan Xu like an arrow.Quan Xu didn't expect Sanniang's strength to be so great, and he threw him directly on the bed.Sanniang rode on Quan Xu's waist: "How is it?"
I'm amazing, right?
”"Amazing......
Terrible!
”At this moment, Yaya, now Xin Yue, walked in and watched Sanniang riding on Quan Xu, her face instantly turned red.Although Xin Yue is only nine years old, she is more mature than the girls of later generations in this era of marrying at the age of eleven or twelve.Xin Yue hurriedly covered her face: "I didn't see it!"
”Quan Xu patted Sanniang, and Sanniang was lying on the bed."
What's the matter?""
Master, Steward Luo asks to see you!"
Quan Xu tidied up his clothes: "Let him in!"
”Luo Shiming didn't come in alone, followed by the honest and honest Ma Dacheng."
The owner!""
Sir!""
What's the matter with you coming here?"
Luo Shiming stretched out his hand and pointed at Ma Dacheng: "Let's say it!"
”Ma Dacheng puffed up his chest: "Master, I am a big celebrity, and I know how to drill the forest leopard!"
”"What's wrong?"
Ma Dacheng looked at Quan Xu and said excitedly: "Master, you are a foreigner and may not know Zhou Chu, these people have robbed a lot of big families, and now his people have been defeated by the master, and it is estimated that there are not many people left in his old nest chicken village, while they don't know that the leopard is planted, we can go over ......"
Quan Xu was happy in his heart, but then thought about it: "How many of us are there, and they occupy favorable terrain, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with!"
”Ma Dacheng said: "As long as the master wants to fight Zhou Chu's lair, manpower is not a problem!"
”Quan Xu instantly understood what Ma Dacheng meant, that is, he came forward to hire a famous young strong step archer to exterminate Zhou Chu's lair.Of course, since Quan Xu is a citizen, and the foot archers are also a citizen, there is no question of legal or illegal, and of course, crossing the border is also troublesome, and it is necessary to avoid the local Yongping Mansion.In fact, Quan Xu and Zhou Chu have no enmity.Zhou Chu originally wanted to deal with Quan Xu, but before he could make a move, he was defeated by Quan Xu's Doomsday Fortress.Quan Xu listened to Zhou Chu's old bottom is very thick, not to mention that in just three days, Zhou Chuke has robbed nearly 30,000 taels of silver......
Quan Xu's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Kou can go to me, and I can go too!"
