The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 667

[Chapter 667 Academy]

As time goes by, similar voices become fewer and fewer.

Most people stared at the notice, especially parents with girls at home.

Sending a girl to Baolefang to study, she can not only learn something, but also receive a subsidy of one tael of silver per month. In their view, this is almost the same as pie in the sky.

Moreover, what Shopkeeper Wang said is very good!

Now that the imperial court is holding a women’s imperial examination, if a girl studies well and has a promising future, it is much better than marrying someone randomly and then throwing it away, right?

Most parents feel this way.

But some parents who only have boys at home are still very angry.

In their eyes, Baolefang is just looking for trouble!

However, they only dared to be angry but dare not speak out.

Not only because Fang Mansion was standing behind Baolefang, but also because they were being unreasonable.

After all, Baolefang is willing to spend this money, so what can you do?

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was three days later.

More things have happened this year than in the past hundred years.

And they are all related to Young Master Fang Mansion.

Someone soon found out that the notice in Baolefang, the women’s imperial examination, and this series of actions were all the intentions of Young Master Fang Mansion.

During this period of time, Master Fang’s reputation in Kyoto City has been greatly improved.

But just for such a thing, many people instantly changed their titles of Fang Xiu from ‘Young Master of Fang Mansion’, ‘Marquis of Xin’an’ and ‘General Shenji’ back to the original ‘Prodigal Son of Fang Mansion’.

Some people even gave him a new name – the defeated country!

Of course, such people are still a minority.

After all, most people understand in their hearts that because of the existence of Young Master Fang Mansion, their lives are much better now than before.

They still have a conscience.

However, they still couldn’t tolerate the issue of women’s imperial examination.

Regardless of whether they can accept it or tolerate it, things will still go on.

Soon, three days later, a new academy was built not far from Baolefang!

The name of this academy is very simple, Fangxiu Academy of Arts and Sciences!

There was no evasion at all, just using the name of Marquis Xin’an, which further confirmed that this series of things was supported by Marquis Xin’an.

Many people are gritting their teeth, but there is nothing they can do.

I can only look at the plaque of the academy hanging on it.

“The Academy of Arts and Sciences is the name given by a prodigal. It doesn’t sound nice at all!”

“The academy is a place for teaching, so a nice name is useless!”

“That’s not what they say. The ancients said: Yaju”

” Don’t keep saying what the ancients said. If you are not convinced, build an academy yourself and teach children for free! “

As

soon as the academy opened, a group of people gathered at the door, pointing and talking. One after another. Of course

there are those who curse and there are those who praise greatly

, and the difference between the two is very clear.

Those who cursed were usually scholars or those with boys at home.

There are relatively few scholars who praise it highly, and they are all those who have daughters at home.

The reason for this situation is undoubtedly the Academy’s policy of one tael of silver.

When a boy studies, he pays one tael of silver.

Girls study and make up a tael of silver.

“Stop making noise, the academy is about to open!”

A strong voice sounded.

Then I saw the door of the academy slowly opening.

No sir, no escort, nothing.

There was only a young man in a white shirt standing at the door, looking at everyone with a smile, and said in a voice like a gentle breeze: “Fang Xiu Academy of Arts and Sciences is officially established today. Those who have signed up before can follow Mr. into the academy!”

Everyone saw This young man in white shirt feels a little familiar.

The next second, someone suddenly said loudly: “Isn’t this the Yayuan Changru who took the Gyeonggi Provincial Examination this year?”

“Yayuan? Become a teacher? How is this possible? Don’t be kidding!”

“Really, it is. Really, I was in front of Gongyuan when the results were released. Jieyuan was the Marquis of Xin’an, and Yayuan was this young man in white!”

“The dignified Yayuan, the proud man of heaven, is worried about studying and is preparing to take the examination. Come here!

Do

you think it’s possible for this bullshit liberal arts college to be a teacher?”

“Isn’t it possible? That’s the fact!”

The first and second place in the provincial examination?”

“This is too strange!”

Everyone looked at the young man in white shirt and didn’t know what to say.

There were shocked expressions on their faces.

Generally speaking, teachers are all scholars, and even in some remote places, they are not even scholars. They can teach after just reading a few words.

There is no way, after all, as long as you win the imperial examination, it will be considered as entering the court. Even if you have no position, generally speaking, you will not lower yourself to become a teacher.

However, the gentleman from the liberal arts college was not only a scholar, but also a scholar. In their eyes, this was no less than a fantasy.

All in all, there are only five words. How is this possible?

Whether they believe it or not, that’s the truth.

Fang Xiu’s decision to establish this academy was not just a whim, but a matter of careful consideration.

He has selected every gentleman.

This dean was the scholar who asked him for advice in front of Gongyuan.

When Fang Xiu chose the dean, he was the first person he thought of.

Later, when I sent someone to inquire, I found out that the scholar was actually the second best.

I thought he would not be willing to serve as the dean, but I didn’t expect that after Fang Xiu told him his thoughts.

He actually happily agreed and took over the position of dean.

Moreover, he took the initiative to assume the responsibilities of the dean and teach the children the subjects of the imperial examination.

This point was unexpected to Fang Xiu.

But then I thought about it, at that time he was able to ask himself about the so-called “sage’s way” and “sage’s words” in front of so many Confucian scholars with that attitude.

This shows that he has doubts about these ‘knowledge’.

Moreover, Fang Xiu also found some books from Zhuxuanzhai in his residence.

It’s not “The Romance of the West Chamber” or “Journey to the West”, but “Basic Physics”, “Basic Arithmetic”, “What is a Picture and What is a Shape”, “Detailed Analysis of Micro-Expressions” and other miscellaneous books.

Some of these miscellaneous books were written by Fang Xiu himself, and some were written by Fang Xiu’s people.

In the eyes of most scholars, they are dismissive.

Only a few ministers of civil and military affairs from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Household Affairs occasionally looked at it, but they didn’t take it seriously.

However, this guy reads it as if it were the Four Books and Five Classics.

Almost instantly, Fang Xiu made his decision.

This guy must be the dean of the academy!

In addition, there are also some teachers in different subjects, all of whom he carefully selected.

At this moment, they are all standing behind Chang Ru.

But everyone’s eyes were on Chang Ru.

I don’t know how long it took, but some people were still in a state of shock.

He murmured: “Ya Yuan”
