Lu Xiige thought of the nine-year compulsory education she had gone through and the major institutions that had trained various talents for the country.

She knew that she did not have the ability to let a court where most people lived in an era of famine promote reading and educating people.

All I can say is that she can do whatever she can to the best of her ability.

The establishment of the Lu family's family tradition was the hard work of two generations, her grandfather and father. Neither she nor her second brother would let their ancestors' efforts be ruined in their hands.

Lu Sheige took the initiative to propose to the clan leader that she would be willing to pay a sum of money if the Lu clan school was reopened.

Of course, she would not do what her father, grandfather, and other generations had done before, where the children of the clan would only attend school, and all other expenses would be paid by the Lu family, including education for each child.

Lu Xiangge would not be stupid enough to take advantage of others. Once there is no advantage to be taken advantage of, this clan will naturally decline.

There is love for rice and hatred for rice.

I don’t know how many children the Lu family has learned from the family in the past few decades. Some of them went to the city to start their own jobs, some stayed in the village, farmed and raised silkworms and had children, and some became children because they were more literate. His business and family background are pretty good.

But in recent years, neither the clan nor the children who have gone out to learn from the clan, few have found ways to continue the Lu clan academy out of gratitude.

Shen Zhenghai gave Lu Yuanping a high hat: "If we want to do it carefully, do it well and do it big and strong, I believe Patriarch Lu can still do it."

Shen Zhenghe ranks third, which is not impossible.

The reason why Lu Yuanping mentioned clan studies at the banquet was because he wanted to hear the opinions of Shen Zhenghai and Zhou Yang.

If you were to kneel on the ground holding the imperial inscription written by the current emperor, that would be a taboo, and in serious cases you might be beheaded.

"There is a dowry, and the late emperor gave me a lot of rewards." Lu Shege said with a smile, "Besides, I have aunts and cousins. If I really don't have money, I can just ask my brothers for it."

"Oh..." Lu Yuanping suddenly realized and nodded in panic, "Okay, I know, I know."

After hearing that the clan leader said that he wanted to establish a clan school, Shen Zhenghai sat up straight: "I heard from my younger sister that the Lu family wants to establish a clan academy again. The Lu family is also a century-old clan. This clan academy must not only be established, but also run well. , so that more people can be proud to attend Lu Family School."

Suddenly, people around Lu Shege fell to their knees.

"Xi Ge, there are too many, uncle can't accept them."

However, Lu Sheige also has a third cousin, who is the current Holy Emperor.

Shen Zhenghai took out ten identical banknotes from his pocket and put them on the table and pushed them to Lu Yuanping, "If the Lu family wants to build a clan, it should be bigger, and it can't be limited to the children of the Lu clan. Is it possible for the whole world to be a king?" The people who follow the soil are not the king's ministers. If you want to learn from the Lu clan, you should be a model for the Shang Dynasty. If there are children of school age around here who want to study with the Lu clan, I hope that the Lu clan leader and the elders will not refuse. You guys Lu Clanology is not cultivating children for the Lu family, but cultivating pillars of the country for our great Shang Dynasty! Only such a model and example is worthy of a plaque written by the emperor himself."

With that said, Lu Sheige took out ten banknotes, one hundred taels each, totaling one thousand taels.

"Yes, brother is right. As long as you do it with care, there is no such thing as a clan school that cannot be run well."

If it's one or two hundred taels, Lu Yuanping would be generous. One thousand taels is actually a bit too much. "It's just to build a few new houses, buy some tables and chairs, and hire two gentlemen. It won't cost that much."

"This...this...?"

"Since my cousin and cousin have given their best, then I, as the elder brother, cannot be laughed at by them, so I will also give my best."

How many houses should be built and how many gentlemen should be hired to use up one thousand taels?

Several clan elders also said that She Ge was still young and had no parents or brothers, so he had to think about himself and save some money for a dowry.

Shen Zhenghai's hands were trembling, he was holding the box and was about to kneel down, but Shen Zhenghai stopped him: "Clan Chief Lu, no."

To put it nicely, it’s for the sake of the family. To put it harshly, it’s because no one can afford to lose face.

The Lu Clan Academy has been struggling to support itself, and it is only due to the efforts of the clan leader and several clan elders.

Even several clan elders quickly understood who the third cousin Xiang Ge was talking about.

Plop...

Third cousin?

Lu Yuanping was thinking about who should sing the song. His eyes first fell on Shen Zhenghai, who was sitting side by side with Zhou Yang. Seeing his calm expression, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

No way!

It couldn't be what he thought, these third cousins ​​were the current emperor, the third cousins ​​of the Chen family of Xi Ge, right?

Lu Sheige stood up, opened the temporary curtain and walked over.

Shen Zhenghai held Lu Yuanping's arm with one hand and held up the box in Lu Yuanping's hand with the other hand. After Lu Yuanping sat down cautiously with the box in his hands, he said: "This word was asked by Xiang Ge when he came to the palace to ask for it from his cousin.

There is no need to show off your feelings for the clan."

These two adults are well-informed, and the suggestions they give will definitely be more useful than those of them from the countryside.

"With these one thousand taels, I will give my best to the clan."

Shen Zhenghai is the eldest son of Shen and Shen Ge's eldest cousin.

Shen Zhenghai's words made the clan leader and clan elders feel excited.

"Clan leader, several uncles and grandfathers, since the clan is going to start a clan school again, it is natural that as children of the Lu family, it is their duty to help."

There is no need to make publicity, but it is not forbidden. Lu Yuanping thought to himself, within three days, if there is a person in Dongyang County who does not know that the emperor gave their Lu family a plaque, he, Lu Yuanping, is not worthy of being the leader of this family.

Plop...

Lu Yuanping suddenly panicked while holding the box. He didn't know whether he should kneel down first or open it first and then kneel down.

The Lu family just built a clan school, how could it have such a big contribution?

Doesn't that mean that old people like them might still be known by the emperor, and if the clan school is well run, they might even get praise from the emperor?

The thought of their names being mentioned by the emperor, even if it was just a compliment, made them so excited that they wished they could die in a mess!

Lu Yuanping solemnly handed the box to Singer Lu and led several clan elders to kneel down.

Lu Yuanping knew that Lu Xiangge wanted to start a family study again, but he did not expect that Lu Xiangge would give him a thousand taels of silver just to start a family study.

Hearing this, Lu Yuanping was overjoyed: "Thank you Master Shen for your praise. It's just an ethnology. How can it be as good as what Master Shen said?"

As he said that, Lu Sheige took out another box and handed it to the clan leader with both hands, "This is the word I asked my third cousin to mention. It can be used as a plaque for clan studies."

"Thank you to my emperor for long live the emperor."

There was not much movement in the house, and it did not disturb the people eating on the flowing mat outside.

But the women at the next table heard the commotion and were all whispering on the other side of the curtain.

The Lu family seems to be on the verge of success. Even the plaque on the ancestral school bears the emperor's inscription.
