The college’s preliminary preparations are quite a small investment. Although the original intention of running this college was not to make much money, no matter what, the capital should be recovered. Wen Mianmian didn’t think there was any problem with charging this fee.

Wen Changling interrupted, "The book "The Twenty-Four Histories Guang Ji" has a conscience. When it first came out, the price of the book shop was 100 taels, but now it has dropped to 60 taels."

Wen Mianmian showed an admiring look at him, but she still understood it very well. Then she continued: "The rich students buy books, and the poor students copy books, and copying books costs paper and ink. This is also a huge expense. There are many students who write bald brushes. Some students have no consciousness in order to make a lot of books, especially in winter."

"The student's sentence after high school, 'The filth in the past is not worth praising, but now he is boring and thinking about it' is not unreasonable."

"Of course, we haven't said how much it costs to go to Beijing for scientific examinations, how much it costs to prepare candles, water, charcoal, meals and utensils, clothes and mats, etc., even the examination papers used by the Ministry of Rites are also paid by the students themselves."

Gu Qili also sighed. He also felt that it was not good for students to pay for the scientific examination papers themselves, but this was the rule and he had no choice.

Wen Mianmian continued: "Last year, I asked a student who came from the southwest. He said that he had been walking on the road for more than a month, ate porridge and side dishes, lived in the cheapest inns, and almost all lived in shops. He spent more than 40 taels on the way, but his family bought grain and sold cattle, and only half of the clan supported him."

"After entering the Kyoto Gate, there were still two taels of silver all over his body, he had no choice but to raise money everywhere and borrow fifty taels. If he fails the exam, he will either return home immediately or find a mailer to earn money back in advance."

"Think about this situation, you have to have various banquets and expenses in high school. How much does it cost."

What she didn't say was that in this case, a corrupt official is indispensable in high school. There is no way, he is too poor.

"In this situation this year, if Lord Gu had not brought the people from the Ministry of Rites to make various arrangements and let the students stay in cheap inns, I would probably not have been able to hold on until the day after that."

Gu Qili quickly bowed his hand, with a hint of regret on his face and a look of worrying about the students, "It's all the things that are the things that are done by the ministers."

After saying so much, Wen Mianmian summarized, "Studying is difficult and it costs a lot. There is no need to pursue the best."

"There are still two of the students who can queue up here at home. If you can't study here, you can go to other places. Besides, there was an exam on the 12th day. If you think you have a good foundation, you can come to take the exam. If you do well, you will get free treatment."

The emperor's eyes were complicated and he was thinking about what he should do for the students. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, "The power of ancient chess."

"I'm here."

Another crying child in the team was pulled away, and the emperor glanced lightly, "I ordered you to draw a charter to help students."

Gu Qili gave up his hand to answer, but he thought about it in his heart, helping the students?

How to help?

Wen Mianmian smiled and said something more, "You can think about whether you can prepare for official schools in various places, whether you can get free fees when entering official schools. As for the expenses of official schools, you can consider the court to allocate half of the remaining gentry from all over the country, and so on."

There is only so much to say, and she can't say much.

Gu Qili bowed, "Thank you for your advice from the princess."

The emperor was in a heavy mood. As an emperor, he naturally did not want the court's future production materials to fall under the predicament of having no money to take the exam. However, if you want to improve such a situation, you have to spend money. The court is short of money.

His eyes stopped on Hua Jingyun for a while, and his meaning was self-evident. He got him money as soon as possible.

Everyone stayed for a while. Seeing that it was noon, Wen Mianmian proposed to go back to the palace to have meals. The emperor naturally agreed. The empress dowager was even more happy and planned to stay for a few days after using it in the palace.

Some of the people who signed up for a long time had noticed the emperor and always felt that they looked very familiar. When he slowly approached, the man looked surprised and soon a hint of redness appeared. His trembling trembled and he knelt down directly, "Caocaomin has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live."

emperor?

Everyone in front and behind was shocked and looked in the direction of the person kneeling down. Some natives in Kyoto knelt down and shouted long live.

Now everyone was inexplicably excited, and they knelt down one by one, shouting one after another, shouting long live my emperor, with excitement blushing.

The sound was too loud, and everyone in the college heard the noise. Mr. Gu brought a few gentlemen. Those children who were watching the college dormitory also ran to see the beauty of the sky quickly.

The emperor straightened his back and Wen Mianmian said quietly, "Father, say a few words."

What a great opportunity, free publicity, no need to use it.

The emperor took two steps forward and "flat his body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

These people stood up excitedly, for some reason, but they were all hot. The emperor had come to the academy and their children were studying here, and they felt that they had something to do with the emperor.

This is the emperor. This battle is enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.

The emperor looked at the students with desire and fear, and stood with his hands behind his back. "Young people work hard for life, don't be lazy and work hard in the future. You must know that you don't learn less and don't know when you are old. The sea of ​​knowledge is endless. If you come here today to study, you must work diligently and hard, be close to teachers and classmates, be wise and understand the righteousness, have family and country in your heart, live up to the raising of your parents and the expectations of the court."

The older child then kowtowed and said loudly: "Students will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."

The other students also knelt down and said, "Thank you, the emperor." Yes, the emperor, I know, the emperor."

The emperor asked them to get up, and his eyes fell on the parents again. The parents were nervous either rubbing their hands or pinching the corners of their clothes. The emperor did not disappoint them. "You are working hard all day long, and it is very difficult to send your son to Beijing to study. You are the people of my Dongshu and the son's son. Your son's father will shoulder heavy responsibilities and dare not relax. I hope you will take care of yourself and wait for the future."

As soon as these words were said, many people wiped their tears and kowtowed one by one. That was so sincere. The emperor asked them to take care of themselves.

Oh my, I suddenly felt how glorious it was for me as a commoner in Dongshu.

In this way, the emperor gained another wave of people's hearts and the college became more famous.

The emperor said a few more words to Mr. Gu. After leaving the academy, he took the Empress Dowager back to the palace. Now it is not suitable to go to the Annan Prince's Mansion. His identity was exposed, which invisibly increased many dangers.
