Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

Everyone has already heard that Lin Ze wants to open a private school.

In particular, the people in the village have been waiting for a long time, because when the Linze Yamen sued last time, they asked everyone to help to testify, and they said that they would open a private school in the future, and the children in the village could study for free every month.

God knows how difficult it is for the poor to read and write. If there is such a good opportunity, can everyone not grasp it.

For this reason, the villagers are also very knowledgeable. After watching the excitement in the yamen, they took the initiative to speak well for Lin Ze everywhere. Lin Ze's story could spread tens of miles around Nanyang Town in just two or three days, except for those hired by himself. Beggars, tramps, and villagers also made great efforts.

So today Lin Ze kept his word. According to the agreement, his private school will open a few days of free classes every month to the children of the villagers who helped him last time.

"Lin Ze's ability is limited, and there is only so much he can do. I hope you don't dislike it. As long as the children study hard and attend four days of free classes every month, it is still possible to learn how to read and write when they grow up..."

In fact, Lin Ze had planned to open free public classes, and he was just pushing the boat along the way to favor the villagers.

After all, reputation is too important to a scholar, and his private school will definitely be discussed if he accepts the children of businessmen, so he must find a way to reverse the image of the private school, and a good name is the best way.

The villagers are obviously very satisfied with this.

Teaching children to read and write without spending any money is simply a piece of cake from the sky. Anyone who has an opinion would really know what to do.

Lin Ze was happy to see the success, his smile became more friendly, and he continued to pave the way for the future plan.

"However, Lin Ze is also from a poor family who has been admitted to fame. He knows that the children in the village like me are not stupid, but because of the limited environment. For many years, my father has provided for my brother to study, and the villagers have taken care of me in every possible way. So now, Lin Ze I also want to do my best for the village..."

"Because of the teaching method, my private school cannot have too many students. Therefore, I currently only accept 12 students in the private school, and the age cannot exceed 12 years old. There is no restriction on family background, and there are still 3 special enrollment places."

"The so-called special enrollment is specially set up for poor children in the village. There will be an examination for the admission of private schools. As long as the children in the village can pass, the tuition fee will be waived. When they go to the scientific examination, the private school will also provide student loans to make the village miserable. Children also have the opportunity to leap over the dragon's gate."

After Lin Ze finished speaking, the scene fell into a full minute of silence.

It took a long time for the village chief, Li Laofu, to turn his eyes red, and his voice trembled, "Lin, Lin Ze, are you telling the truth?"

Just like what Lin Ze said, poor villages like Heba Village haven’t produced a single character for 80 or [-] years. It’s not because of bad feng shui, or because everyone doesn’t work hard, but because of the limited environment. , without the resources to struggle.

In this era, apart from studying, there is almost no chance for anyone else to get ahead, but the country people have no money to study, and there is a vicious circle from generation to generation.

Lin Ze's offering of free public classes is to win the favor of the villagers and earn his reputation, and the establishment of the "special enrollment quota" for exempting the course is to really win over the hearts of these poor people.

"Uncle Village Chief, what I said is naturally true, but the number of special enrollments is also limited. Not only must you pass the entrance examination, but you also need to pass each assessment in your subsequent studies. I will expel children who don't work hard at any time. , so this quota is not limited to children from our village, children from other villages can also come, opportunities are reserved for those who work hard, hope the village chief understands."

Ugly words must be said up front, so as to avoid the villagers sending some disobedient children to have a headache.

Of course everyone understands this, and such a good thing should be given to the smartest and most obedient children to be fair and convinced.

Not only Li Laofu, but all the villagers nodded quickly, including several village chiefs from other villages, all beaming and expressing their opinions quickly.

"It's nature, it's nature..."

"Officer Lin Lang, you just said that the admission of students is not limited to family background, then, does this mean that students from merchants such as me can also enroll?"

The old men beside the staff were not far behind, and hurriedly asked, their expressions were also very excited.

Although I have heard about it from Li Guangcai and Guo Yuanwai, I was very pleasantly surprised when I heard Lin Ze’s words. I can’t believe that Lin Ze expressed his willingness to accept businessmen’s children in such an open and aboveboard manner. Other private schools dare not, and they only accept them quietly. Come on.

This Lin Xiucai is not only different, but also bolder!But it's a good thing!

The master Yuanwai was extremely excited, staring at Lin Ze expectantly, waiting for the confirmed answer.

Lin Ze had been waiting for them to speak, with a high-spirited, Confucian spirit and an extraordinary smile,

"The sage once said that there is no distinction in teaching. The master is to preach and teach to solve doubts and promote knowledge and culture. How can there be class discrimination? As long as the child loves learning, Lin Ze is willing to teach. It's just that I am weak, so the number of places in the private school Limited, all the masters want to send Young Master Ling here, and they all have to take the exam..."

The rules must be strictly enforced, and these outsiders will come whenever they want, and they will not force them if they don't want to.

However, Lin Ze's idea is obviously superfluous. In the whole town, he is the only one who is willing to accept the children of merchants openly.

And the members who came here today got the inside information from Li Guangcai and the two old foxes, knowing that his private school has a promise of "strengthening children's lives". Who cares about the strict rules, as long as the children go to school!

Everyone was overjoyed to get Lin Ze's words.

Lin Ze's smile became more and more kind, and he finally brought up the issue of heavy repairs,

"Masters, don't worry, although the Lin Ze private school accepts the children of merchants, but since all the young masters are beloved palm treasures at home and don't know the sufferings of the people, so in order to urge the young masters to cherish the learning opportunities, the young masters have to pay more." Bursaries'..."

"As the name suggests, this bursary is for the private school to help students. It rewards the top three students in each exam and the students who perform well, as well as the construction of private school facilities. It will be recorded on the merit wall of the private school at that time, and it will be counted as the support of the masters for the cause of education. Silver will never be used for personal use.”

"Besides, young masters have to live in a private school during their studies, manage them in a unified way, and exercise their ability to be independent..."

The term "bear child" Lin Ze has been heard and seen a lot in modern times, and these ancient little princes were even more pampered and raised at home.

So when writing the private school plan, Lin Ze resolutely wrote the idea of ​​the school dormitory into it, and he was going to implement militarized management at that time, so that the children of these members' families could get rid of their squeamishness!

Simply speaking, students who went to distant places to study in ancient times also lived in private schools. Lin Ze's conditions are not surprising.

But the bursary made the flexible-minded Mr. Yuanwai very interested.

It is difficult for the children of merchants to invite their husbands to study in private schools. They have long been prepared to be blackmailed by Lin Ze, and they have no resistance to Lin Ze’s proposal to charge an extra sum of money, but they take it for granted.

In the end, Lin Ze said that he wanted to use the extra money as a "bursary". No matter what it was used for, he asked Lin Ze to write their names on the private school merit tablet in the name of "supporting education and reading". Outside the members, they were even more willing to pay out of their pockets.

What does this guy care about when he has money?If you have money, you naturally care about reputation, especially for merchants in agriculture, industry and commerce!

"What Mr. Lin did is really benevolent and righteous, benevolent and beneficial to the people..."

Everyone immediately started flattering with admiration, and directly called Master.

The villagers were so moved that they were about to cry. This kind of "bursary" rewards students who do well in exams and perform well, isn't it just helping students from poor families in disguise!

Sure enough, he is a scholar from their village. He thinks of the villagers in everything. Lin Xiucai is really a good person...

"Using what I have learned to benefit the people is the great wish of the sages since ancient times. Lin Ze dare not bear the name of benevolence, and everyone eats and drinks."

Seeing that the gratitude and joy in the hearts of everyone present reached their peak, Lin Ze stopped immediately and greeted the banquet with a smile.

It is more evocative when it stops abruptly.

With the good news as an appetizer, the villagers ate happily, and the group of members from the town didn't dislike the fact that they were not used to the country banquet, so they all gave a taste of it.

Even the ladies who were used to enjoying themselves with the staff forgot their reserve and their unfamiliarity with the countryside, and picked up their chopsticks to try to be kind, for fear that something was wrong and Lin Ze would not like it.

As a result, after everyone stuffed something into their mouths with chopsticks, they were refreshed again.

Seemingly simple and simple farm meals, they actually eat high-end restaurants only!

Those picky eaters who were reluctant to be brought by their parents all changed their usual attitude of being coaxed and fed, and began to eat deliciously, especially for the little things on the table.

The dishes for today's banquet were not prepared by Lin Ze himself, but the assistant cook was made under his guidance, and the taste was five points as good as his cooking skills.

In fact, generally speaking, it cannot be said to be supremely delicious, but it is very fresh to the stomachs of rich people who are used to big fish and meat. Among them, the banquet snacks are also relatively new and modern, so it makes the tables of the master and wife feel amazing.

Even Li Sheng, who has always been honest with Lin Ze, is very satisfied with the food on the table.

He didn't expect that his future husband could prepare such delicious meals in this poor and remote countryside, and he didn't hear that Lin Ze invited a cook from a restaurant in the town.

Of course, even though Li Sheng didn't want to admit it, what he saw today, he really admired Lin Ze's skill in building up momentum and his courage to go his own way.

Whether it is accepting businessmen's students in an upright manner, or showing off one's husband in public, these are not things that ordinary people can do.

Announcing private school enrollment news at this kind of banquet is even more wonderful, and those words really turned the world around.

It is obvious that Lin Ze just wanted to make money from a businessman's family, but in the end, he just added a few special enrollment places and free classes, and directly changed his profit-seeking purpose into "benevolence". The private school has not yet started, and Lin Ze's The reputation will definitely spread far and wide after today's banquet.

At this moment, Li Sheng finally realized why his father wanted him to worship Lin Ze as his teacher no matter what price he paid.

Learning aside, Lin Ze is definitely at the forefront of all bastards in terms of treachery!

"You're only a sour scholar, I've decided to take you as my teacher, just wait and see..."

Li Sheng snatched desserts from the young masters at the same table with sharp eyes and quick hands, and smiled triumphantly in his heart.

He NND finally figured out a solution to the pottery bowl problem!
