"Isn't the person beside the emperor the Grand Bachelor Sikong Yu?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the speaker's gaze. Sure enough, they saw three people in the form of gods walking towards them. They quickly knelt down.
"Meet the Emperor and the Queen."
"Get on your own. The person next to me is the Grand Scholar Sikong you are about to meet. He is in charge of this place. The queen and I are just passing by and will not interfere."
This is because the emperor personally acknowledged Sikong Yu’s status in this world academy with them!
"Master Sikong, my son can read at the age of three, can recite a hundred poems at the age of five, and can compose poems at the age of eight. Can I join your sect and become your direct disciple?"
One person begged hurriedly, but was immediately drowned in the saliva of those around him.
"Tsk, tsk, you are really greedy. The direct disciple of Grand Master Sikong is a person like the Empress. How can we be able to catch up with her?"
"That is, as long as we can enroll in Tianxia College, it is enough. Bachelor Sikong can increase the enrollment opportunities."
"Master Sikong, can you please announce the scope of the entrance examination questions?"
When everyone saw that the emperor and the queen were really indifferent and not unhappy, they started talking more and more.
Xiao Lian was on the side, whispering to He Xiang, and when she glanced sideways, she saw Wen Yang walking by with a few books in his arms.
Xiaolian was so happy that she waved to him and shouted in a low voice:
"Wen Yang, Wen Yang, look here."
Wen Yang didn't respond, but the corners of his lips curved slightly.
Xiaolian thought it was too noisy here and he didn't hear him, so she felt a little disappointed. But she heard Chu Yunxi say:
"Xiao Lian, Si Qi, follow He Xiang and go around the academy. You don't need to wait on me now."
The three of them looked at each other. No matter how steady and careful they were, they were still young girls who liked to have fun. They were busy thanking Chu Yunxi for her blessing.
"Thank you, Queen, for your consideration."
Seeing the three of them running away happily, Chu Yunxi raised his eyes again to see Wen Yang, who was walking slower and slower.
He is good-looking, has a good heart, and is responsible. If in the future, he can take the imperial examination and get a high school position, he will be able to live a comfortable and smooth life even if he has no financial resources.
If someone becomes his mistress, he will be missing three aunts and six wives, which will cause many troubles.
While Chu Yunxi was distracted, Sikong Yu had already raised his hands to signal the noisy crowd to quiet down, and everyone immediately shut up. Then Sikong Yu said to everyone:
"My Sikong clan has disappeared for more than twenty years, but I can still be remembered by you all. Sikong Yu, I am very grateful."
He bowed his head slightly, and everyone quickly bowed and returned the salute. After Sikong Yu had done all the etiquette, he answered everyone's questions:
"It's just that the college has just been merged and still needs repairs. Please rest assured and have a good New Year. After the new year, in March, we will recruit students again."
"Master Sikong, can you tell us the admissions rules?"
People who want to sign up for school are afraid of missing any useful information and keep chasing after them.
"The academy naturally focuses on studying. In the next few days, Tianxia Academy will organize the content to be tested in the entrance examination into a book. You can buy it by yourself. Each book costs twenty taels of silver."
"Two taels of silver a piece?"
There was another explosion. Two taels of silver can cover the living expenses of ordinary people for most of half a year. If you are more strapped, you can't use two taels of silver a year.
This means that poor people are not allowed to enter school.
Some people looked excited. It’s good to ask for money! If you ask for money, you can filter out half of the poor people who can’t afford to buy books. Wouldn’t the probability of them being admitted to school be greatly improved?
Some people were dejected. It seemed that Sikong Yu was just in name only. He had long since lost the character of the Sikong family and was now filled with the stench of businessmen.
"Could it be that Tianxia College is a college established specifically for high-ranking officials and nobles?"
Everyone turned around and looked at the warrior who spoke.
It's so courageous. The emperor and the empress are still watching from the sidelines. Do they really think that they don't exist?
When this man was looked at by so many people, he realized that he had made a mistake. His face turned pale and he quickly knelt down.
"Common people, common people were confused for a moment and spoke uncontrollably. I hope you will forgive me."
"Tianxia College is naturally not a college for high-ranking officials and nobles."
Sikong Yu, however, gave him an answer that turned his sorrow into joy.
"Tianxia College will set up several study rooms specifically for students who want to study but cannot afford books to read books for free."
"Great, this is really great."
Everyone was happy. Who would care about the two taels of silver if they were rich? They didn't want to let their children suffer, so they bought books and went home to read.
Those who are short of money come to Tianxia College to study, and it has a better atmosphere. Everyone is really happy.
Sikong Yu is no longer a pure scholar. What he has experienced makes him no longer averse to talking about gold and silver.
As long as the money can be used in meaningful ways, it is better to hold the money in the hands of others than to hold it in your own hands.
In this way, Tianxia College will be able to support more students who cannot afford to study but are willing to make progress.
"Master Sikong, you haven't said yet how to recruit students from other colleges besides the academy?"
"In other colleges, those who are willing to serve the country after completing their studies will be given priority for admission. Those who are not qualified will be admitted on a selective basis. I will talk about this today. Thank you for your recognition of Tianxia College."
After Sikong Yu finished speaking, the gentlemen from Tianxia Academy took over.
"Everyone, please go back first and come back later in the year during the enrollment period."
"Slow down, don't crowd, be careful of stepping on it!"
The crowd finally dispersed, and Chu Yunxi clasped his fists at Sikong Yu, acting like a student.
"Sir, your idea is very good. If you have no desire to save the world and disdain for worldly things, you can only waste your time secretly. Taking it from the people and using it for the people is a long-term solution."
Sikong Yu smiled happily, knowing that Xi'er could understand his intentions. Jun Lingyun, standing next to Xi'er, felt like a mirror.
Only then did he dare to be so unscrupulous and express his ambition in front of the two of them.
"Sir, the students want to set up a women's business school, establish a weaving and embroidery field, open a gynecological clinic, create a commercial street specifically for women, and leave a path for women all over the world to be independent and self-reliant."
Sikong Yu smiled even more, and the master and apprentice chatted happily again.
When it got dark, Xiaolian and Si Qi also came back happily. Each of them also held a plum blossom in their hands and presented it to Chu Yunxi.
"Queen, look at these winter plum blossoms. They are in full bloom and covered with snow. Do they look like your cloak?"
Chu Yunxi looked at the white cloak dotted with red flowers on her body. It really looked like it. She liked it very much.
"Where did the winter plum come from? It bloomed so well? I didn't even see it."
Xiaolian laughed and said:
"Go back to your Majesty, it's in the college. Wen Yang took us to see it. It's a pity that there is only one tree."
"Really? But I didn't look carefully before. I didn't know there were plum blossoms growing in the academy."
"Speaking of which, even Sister Hexiang said she had never seen it before."
Chu Yunxi looked at Xiaolian thoughtfully.
It didn't exist before, but now it exists, so someone transplanted it there? Who did it and for whom?
