After all the families had built their houses, Su Andong asked them to help build another adobe house. Each room in this house was very large, and there was no kang inside, but only fire walls. Su Andong planned to use this house to run a private school.

People who study are always respected, and teachers are also looked up to by others.

Running a private school can strengthen the connection between the family and other families in the village, and can help the family integrate into this place as soon as possible. He has to teach his own children anyway, and running a private school can also earn some tuition fees.

Under the circumstances this year, forget about letting the children take the Tongsheng exam. It is better to let them study hard. If they have the opportunity to take the exam next year, the probability of them passing will be higher.

Su An Dong's memory and comprehension ability are there. He is now very confident and believes in his ability. Even if he runs a private school, it will not delay his imperial examination. At most, he can study in seclusion for a few months before the imperial examination.

On the afternoon of the day the house was built, Su Anton drove a ox cart to the county to buy some cakes and drinks.

The next day, Su Anton took these gifts to find the head of the village and told him about his idea of ​​opening a private school. The head of the village was delighted when he heard this. If this was the case, the head of the village wanted to send his own child there. This man is a scholar! I heard that he ranks very high. Some teachers in private schools are just students.

Su Anton explained his charging standards and requirements for students to the village head in detail.

The fee is two taels of silver per year, and the fee is charged every six months. There is a day off every ten days, and a day off during festivals. There are also a few days off during spring ploughing and autumn harvest, and ten days off during the Chinese New Year. The purpose of the spring ploughing and autumn harvest holidays is to let the children help the family and understand the difficulty of farming.

When the head of the village heard the fee, he was happy. The price of two taels a year was much cheaper than the private schools in the county, and most private schools only charge a fee per year. Charging once every half a year would be much better. If the child can't read, he can just study for half a year without worrying about wasting tuition. Moreover, studying here in Su Andong is much closer than going to the county.

The reason why Su An Dong charges every six months is because he does not intend to run this private school for a long time, at most two years. If he charges every six months, it will be easier to stop it if he doesn't want to continue.

There are no special requirements for students, only that they must be between six and fifteen years old, both boys and girls.

When the head of the village heard that both boys and girls were accepted, he didn't say anything, but he was wondering in his heart which farm family would spend money to let a girl go to school? It was probably impossible, especially since she was not a lady from a wealthy family.

Daxi Village is a big village with more than a hundred households, otherwise there would not be a village head. The village head of Daxi Village is named Zhao.

After listening to what Su Andong said, Li Zheng Zhao estimated that many students would come to his village and the nearby villages after they knew that Su Andong, a scholar, was running a private school. He thought he should enroll his two grandchildren first! So he said, "Su Xiucai, I want to enroll my two grandchildren first. I wonder when they can start school?"

Su An Dong thought for a while and said, "Maybe ten days later! The specific time has not been decided yet." The house needs to be dried, and enough tables, chairs and benches need to be prepared. He has already asked his brother-in-law Zhou Lao Da to start making tables, chairs and benches, but it still takes some time.

After listening to this, Zhao Lizheng nodded.

Su An Dong continued, "Then I'd like to trouble the head of the village to tell all the families in the village about this matter. If any family has children who want to go to school, they can go to me to register. I will not accept any more students after the school officially starts. The next time I accept students will be after the Chinese New Year."

When Zhao Lizheng heard this, he quickly agreed. Su An Dong came with gifts. He said, "Okay, don't worry, I will explain it to each family."

After saying this, Su Anton said goodbye to Zhao Lizheng and went home.

It is just the beginning of June, and although the weather is hot, it is much better than last year's ridiculously hot summer. The heat is not ridiculous and is bearable.

Moreover, there is snow and ice in Su Yuanyuan's space. Although there is not much ice, it was all clean water frozen last winter. Although it cannot be taken out and used with everyone, it is always possible to use some secretly.

As soon as Su An Dong entered the house, Su Yuanyuan pulled him outside and whispered to him, "Dad, next time you go to the county to buy pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones for the family, take me with you. I have them in my space, so don't buy anything you can take out. Even the pens, inkstones, paper and inkstones they used, as well as books, etc., although I put them in my space, I can't take them out for them to use again. If they recognize them, I won't be able to explain. Find a place to sell all those things! Although they are not new, many of them are 80% new, and there should be people who want them."

Su An Dong nodded and agreed, "We really can't take it out and let them use it. They all think that these things are thrown away in the house in their hometown. Your space cannot be exposed. We can't take any risks."

Su Yuanyuan knew that her father was afraid that something might go wrong with her, so she said, "Dad, don't worry! I'm very careful. I won't take out anything that could arouse suspicion."

Su Anton knew that his daughter was still cautious about this matter, but as a parent, they couldn't help but give her warnings.

Su An Dong thought that some things should be done sooner rather than later, so he said, "Then let's go to the county tomorrow!"

Su Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

Su An Dong continued to ask: "Why can't I see your brother these days? Where has he been? Has he gone to the mountains with Li Chunsheng again?"

Su Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Yes, he went up the mountain again. My brother said that everything he learned was a skill, and hunting might be useful in the future. While you haven't caught him to study yet, he wants to go wild for a few days."

Su An Dong thought that Su Zhihao would not be able to play for a few days, so he should just let him have fun these days! He knew his son's fighting ability very well, so he was not worried about him going up the mountain. Moreover, as Su Zhihao said, it is good to have many skills.

Su Zhihao on the side was indeed as Su Anton thought, very happy.

In addition to Li Chunsheng, Zhao Xuanming also went up the mountain.

After all the escapes, Zhao Xuanming was very impressed by Su Zhihao's ability. He couldn't learn the strength, but he still wanted to learn the moves he had practiced.

He was not as talented as his sister in medical skills, and he could not devote himself to learning medicine like his sister. He thought that since art could not be mastered, he might as well learn something else. Let his sister inherit the Zhao family's medical skills!

Zhao Xuanming wanted to study for the imperial examination, but he also wanted to learn Su Zhihao's skills. He wanted to make himself stronger. If one day he had the opportunity to stand in front of his enemy, he would have the opportunity to get rid of him.
