Chapter 3 Admission Difficulty
Cai Yan didn't know that Su sent a letter to Bianjing. When he was lying in bed for three months, he roughly knew about his weakness.
Whether it is illusion or dream, facing the helpless and cruel reality, he could only lean over and lower his head, his appetite was wide open, and he could walk around in a few days. He forced himself to resume some physical training, and the larger backyard also became a running venue. Seeing that he could not move, he ran for one hour a day, Su was very satisfied with this.
Every day, Cai Yan only runs and reads in the mansion, never takes a step out of the mansion. With the company of the little maid of Green Peach, life is still quite free and easy.
Seeing his son moving forward, Su hesitated for a while and came to Su's house to visit with a gift. Old Master Su Zhensu personally brought his children and grandchildren to meet him in the hall. After the two parties met, they sat down one by one according to the main and second order.
Su Zhen stroked his beard and smiled, "I heard that Yan'er's health is already very good, and the heart that Mei Niang raised can finally be relieved. It's a joyful congratulation~~"
Su took the old man's arm and smiled, "What the ancestor said is that Gar'er was in danger. The master also sent a letter yesterday, and was very happy! He said he wanted to connect Gar'er to Bianjing, but Mei Niang felt that Gar'er's body was too weak and could not stand the fatigue of the boat. So he thought about staying in Hangzhou for the time being and returning to the capital when his body became stronger."
After Su finished speaking, the people in the hall were smiling, but the next moment they turned into a slightly frown, which was very strange.
Su Renli frowned and said, "It is human nature for Mei Niang to worry about her body, but Hangzhou is not as good as Bian Jing after all. Wouldn't it be better to have the care of the Grand Master?"
Su's smile remained unchanged and said, "What the second uncle said is that Bianjing is going to Hangzhou in all aspects. Jade has gone around in front of the Ghost Gate. Mei Niang dared not let Jade tired anymore, and she can only stay in Hangzhou for the time being to cultivate."
As he said that, Su looked at Su Zhen, who had white hair and big dress in blue clothes, and smiled and said, "Ya'er is now in elementary school, and the Cai family is also a juren, and he is a Jinshi family. Mei Niang dared not delay Yan'er's studies. She hopes that the ancestor will be merciful, so that Yan'er can study in Su's school for a few days..."
"My Madam, Jae is still weak now. Is it too early to enter school?"
"It's a little early... Mei Niang, you know that my Su Family School is different from other schools, and it teaches it more strictly. I am afraid that after I return to Beijing, it will be difficult for me to adapt to what I learned in the Cai School. Uncle Wu feels that it is better for me to cultivate at home. After I have a strong body, the Grand Master will be able to teach me personally."
The third uncle Su Renshou and the fifth uncle Su Rensi spoke. After a while in the hall, the old man nodded one after another. Su frowned slightly, and Su Zhen was silent...
"Teacher Cai learned an extraordinary person. There were five people who passed the Cai family's list of Jinshi. The son had just recovered from a serious illness. When he was just recuperating his body, he still needed to be cautious when entering the school."
When Su Zhen said this, Su felt a little emotional. He knew why the Su family didn't want their children to enter the Su family school. He knew that the Su family would rather the Cai family stay away from Hangzhou. He nodded with a smile on his face, but his heart was mixed.
Interest is interests. As Cai Jing proposed the concept of "Feng, Heng, Henan, and Great" and cast the "Dangwu, and Ten" big money. After opening the "Huashigang", the people hated Cai Jing deeply, and Hangzhou also tried their best to avoid being involved with the Cai Mansion, for fear that their own business would be boycotted by the people.
The Su family did not speak out clearly, but the Su family knew that the Su family school had closed the door in front of her.
After leaving the Su Mansion, the Su family, who was unwilling to accept it, went to the Wang family, Sun family, and Zhao family again...
Cai Yan heard Lu Tao’s dissatisfaction and resentment, and didn’t know what it felt. Looking at Su, who looked at the dissatisfied face, he smiled without caring and said: “Isn’t the mountain just me, I am the mountain. Others’ schools don’t want their children to enter school, so I just want to buy a school in Hangzhou.”
"Young Master, you need a teacher, a mountain leader to run a school, and... and you can't just teach the young master..." Lu Tao's voice became lower and lower.
Lu Tao was not polite. A hint of unnatural appeared on Su's face, but Cai Yan didn't care much, and his smile continued: "It's just elementary school, there is no need for great scholars to act as a teacher, mountain chief, the children of large families are unwilling to enter the Cai family school, ordinary people in Hangzhou City are unwilling to do so, and the children of farmers in remote countrysides? Where are the children of wandering children on the streets? Where are the children of the army?"
"Supply meals a day, and some money will be given at the end of the month. The children in the military will be admitted to school and will be admitted to the exam in the future. They will no longer be a matchmaker with their parents. The children do not think there is anything wrong with them."
Su hesitated and said, "My son is going to return to Bianjing after all. Why not invite a gentleman for my son to be more purified in the mansion."
Cai Yan scratched his head and said, "One person is happy alone, everyone is happy together. Who is better or worse? I think my mother understands it. My father's foundation is the official family of Bianjing, and the Cai family is the official family's happiness and anger. What is the foundation of my mother? The child thinks... it seems that his father's position as the Grand Tutor, but it is actually the industry of Hangzhou City."
Su looked at her son who was only tall with thighs and nodded slightly after a long time.
"What my son said is, I'm asking someone to find some suitable gentlemen, the mountain chief..."
"Mom, why don't you let the child be the head of the school and the boy, right?"
Cai Yan smiled, Su's family, green peach, spring flowers, summer lotus, autumn moon, and Dongmei all looked at him with strange looks.
"My mother's original intention is to ask her husband to teach her a little bit. Although the eldest brother and the others became Jinshi, I think my mother knew the reason. She believed that as long as her father was still favored in front of the official family, even if she didn't have enough talent, she would definitely become Jinshi in the future. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether her master is knowledgeable or not, and it doesn't cost much money to start a school. My mother is very tired from being busy at home. It would be better to just make a fool of herself."
Su couldn't help but smile, leaned his body and pointed his forehead slightly.
"I want to lose before the fight. Do you think I have lost my money? Do you think my mother's money has been thrown into the water?"
"Listen to my mother, did she agree to the child?"
"After ill, the harp became a little clever!"
Su joked, Cai Yan scratched his head, but he didn't know how to explain it. Two different people were with him day and night. He didn't believe that the woman in front of him would not be able to detect any difference, but he lay in front of her from beginning to end, and realized that there was some difference, so he could only lean on "consecration".
Children's school does not cost much money. All major families often have such private schools. The better ones can have more than a hundred students, and the worse ones are only 100 children in the family.
For some reason, Su asked Dongmei to give him a thousand guan of silver. A remote courtyard east of the courtyard also became Cai Hua's private courtyard. Outside the wall was more than 30 "Yucai Academy" campuses.
Good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.
All major tribes rejected Cai Jing's "application" for admission. All major tribes were nervous and waited and watched, unwilling to let the Cai family affect their respective reputations, but it did not mean that they did not need Cai Jing's random messing around.
The official family is different from the previous ones, and he is a tycoon. Therefore, Cai Jing proposed the concept of "feng, prosperity, yu, and big". To put it bluntly, the imperial court can spend money and inject the source of the gradually unmoving economic river, which has also led to the "five cents, ten cents" and "huashigang".
Cai Huang had no choice about the theory of spending money on "Feng, Heng, Yu, Da". "Dang Wuqian" was first popular in Shaanxi and Gansu. At first, it was to make up for the insufficient currency in Shaanxi and Gansu. A large coin could be used as five coins. Later, it was circulated throughout the world, and a large coin was used as ten coins.
The Song Dynasty had insufficient copper coins, and a large amount of copper was not enough to serve as five cents or ten cents. If rumors arose, it would inevitably depreciate. No matter whether the people were poor or rich, they could spend the "big money" in their hands. Therefore, merchants made a lot of profits, but the people's pockets were empty. Therefore, the people were dissatisfied and the literati impeached, and Cai Jing was dismissed and refused to use it.
The people were eager to spend a lot of money, which greatly stimulated economic development. At least all merchants made great profits. Because of the angry people, Cai Jing was dismissed and the court took back the big money by "Douwu and Duijin". In fact, the court did not make any profits.
The court took back the "bad money" and the people were busy spending money, and their pockets were empty. For a time, there was no money flowing in the market. The market was depressed. Major merchants remembered Cai Jing's "Feng, Heng, Yu, and Da". The officials loved strange stones. When the court officials saw that Cai Jing was spending money randomly, no one dared to support it. As a result, Cai Jing was carried into Bianjing again.
Cai Wang did not argue with the cheap "father" of "Feng, Heng, Yu, and Da". Whether it is a big money or a tenth, there is no fault. Suddenly, rumors spread everywhere. The people did not trust the reputation of the court and spent money indiscriminately. However, as long as the official approval is recognized, they are willing to return and exchange, and have enough credibility, even if they are "a hundred, a thousand", even if they abandon copper coins, and the people get used to it for a long time, even if they are used to it, they can completely solve the copper waste from the root.
But the "Huashigang" incident... can only be said to be a bad chess. The money is spent purely for the sake of the government's preferences. This huge amount of gold and silver will definitely not flow into the flow of money among the people, but will only fall into the pockets of relevant merchants. It is better to recruit refugees to clean up the river.
Whether Cai Jing really wants to revitalize the economy or simply to satisfy the preferences of the government, Cai Yan didn't know whether he or she didn't want to care about it... he or she couldn't control it. Who could a little kid who was almost wearing open-crotch pants?
A little kid became the head of the Cai family. Wouldn't he laugh at the front teeth of others? Not many people were willing to approach the Cai family. After the little kid came out of the head of the mountain, the flow of people suddenly increased. Every person and scholar who came and went to the Cai family always took a few glances at the gate of the Cai family on purpose or not.
The gate of Cai Mansion opened, and Cai Yan sat in the small table just like that, Lu Tao stood beside him and never raised her head. Her little face turned red, and she always felt that everyone's eyes were focused on herself.
Cai Yanruo was unaware of anything, and he focused on "Hundred Family Names". There were also "Thousand Character Texts", "Four Books and Five Classics", "Book of Songs", "Records of the Grand Historian" on the desktop... There were a lot of miscellaneous things. Except for the people outside the door, only a small head could see, many books almost buried him.
...
"Ha! Can you read so many books?..."
"Hehe, I can't finish reading it until I can't finish reading it, but I know one thing... that is, there are books in the Cai family!"
"Ha ha……"
Everyone laughed and joked. Cai Yan didn't care about it, and didn't have so much time to deal with it. He was biting the pen and making a phonetic notation for "Hundred Family Surnames". Those who don't know each other and those who are not sure will be drawn. Afterwards, you only need to ask Su or the four maids for advice. How can you handle the ridicule outside the door? If you want to laugh, except for his lack of knowledge about ancient Chinese, who will not know who will laugh at him.
