Chapter 215 Rich money can make ghosts run the mill
Originally, Qin Dewei wanted to say goodbye to Ding Jiaoyu, but after seeing the head of the case, Xing Yifeng, he temporarily stopped because he recognized that Xing Yifeng was the scholar who sat next to him during the Taoist examination.
After all, this person helped me make a few key words. With this kind of kindness, let him receive the sacrifice that has no practical significance!
Besides, a bench instructor like Jiao Yu, who is so poor that he can only eat meat twice a year and can’t be cared about by anyone, has only so much vision, so why bother with him!
In the Ming Dynasty, the fate of lower-class scholars was in the hands of the great masters, and school instructors had no real power at all.
Thinking of this, Qin Dewei felt that his level had begun to improve, and he knew that adults do not remember the mistakes of villains.
After all, Ding Jiaoyu is still useful, so he still has to give Ding Jiaoyu some face in public.
After that, the entrance ceremony began. After each scholar paid homage to Confucius, he had to meet with the county magistrate alone and receive instructions. In fact, it was to recognize each other's faces.
After Qin Dewei lost his position as the leader, he had to queue at the back. After all, he was only ninth and the youngest.
While waiting, he began to think about the county school.
The county student members are also divided into different levels. There are 20 top-level dining students, 20 junior extension students, and the rest are affiliated students.
A new rookie like Qin Dewei is a student affiliated student by default. A large county like Jiangning has accumulated hundreds of affiliated student students over the years.
Little knowledge about the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty: Not all scholars can participate in the provincial examinations, and scholars are everywhere.
What Qin Dewei is thinking about now is how to be promoted to a Linshan student. It is not because he is greedy for the six dou rice per month state subsidy for Linsheng, but because Linsheng has defaulted to being recommended for the provincial examination.
Otherwise, when the next township examination comes, you will have to pass the Neibu examination to compete for the quota of the township examination, which is too internal and tiring. Last year, out of hundreds of students in Jiangning County, only 120 students took the township examination.
Therefore, Qin Dewei thinks that when you can take advantage of opportunities, you should find ways to take advantage of others.
Besides, Wang Fengyuan is a junior student. If I were just a student affiliated with him, wouldn’t he be two heads shorter than Wang Fengyuan? I can’t bear it!
In the midst of random thoughts, it was Qin Dewei's turn to visit Ding Jiaoyu. At this time, Ding Jiaoyu treated Qin Dewei normally, without the enthusiasm at all when they first met.
Qin Dewei didn't take it seriously and said straight to the point: "I heard that Yuanfeng Bank intends to donate funds to the county school!"
Ding Jiaoyu was very surprised and blurted out: "Is there something wrong with this bank?"
Qin Dewei: ""
Teacher Ding, how can others accept your words like this? Don’t be so inexperienced in the world.
Ding Jiaoyu felt that he had made a mistake. His old face turned red and he concealed it: "I thought Qin Sheng was joking!"
You can't blame Teacher Ding for not seeing the world. I have never heard of rich people donating money to county schools.
There are also people who donate money to establish schools, but they are all donated to ethnic schools that cultivate their own talents, or they are donated directly to individuals with potential.
Why don't rich people donate money to county schools? It's not because they're afraid of being accused of evil intentions, but because there's no profit at all.
These days, county schools cannot decide either admissions or recommendations. The power lies in the hands of the Grand Master, the academic official.
Therefore, rather than saying that the county school is a school that manages students and scholars, it is better to say that it is an association of scholars or scholars.
It's right for you to fund self-family education. If you fund potential stocks, if this person becomes prosperous in the future, the returns will be very generous.
Even if you sponsor social studies, you will gain a good reputation in the surrounding villages, and the poor people who study in social studies will also be grateful to you.
But what are the benefits of sponsoring the county school, or calling the county scholar association? Which scholar would be grateful to you just because you donate to the county school?
To be politically incorrect, under today's system, the quality of the county's education is completely irrelevant to the scholars.
The scholars only care about the Grand Master, the academic official of the province, who is in charge of examinations, and the day-to-day management of the school has no binding force.
Moreover, Xue Jiaoyu is a low-ranking official, so there is no point in investing in him.
So after Ding Jiaoyu heard Qin Dewei's words, he subconsciously said, "Is there something wrong with this bank?"
Qin Dewei nodded seriously, "It's no joke!"
Ding Jiaoyu, who had never seen big money before, subconsciously tortured his soul: "What is the purpose of this?"
Qin Dewei showed a professional smile: "As long as I am ranked first in the county school's monthly exam every time, Yuanfeng Bank will make donations!"
Although Ding Jiaoyu is in charge of the county school, he still wants to ask: What is the use of being number one?
The monthly exams of the county school are like the unit exams of later generations. Getting the first place in a hundred exams has little practical significance. The final exams and entrance examinations are all in the hands of the grand master of the county school, not the county school.
Therefore, scholars do not care about the monthly exam results at all, and they may not even participate. Just like Wang Fengyuan, a quasi-celebrity who socializes a lot, he is actually absent from most of the monthly exams.
But Qin Dewei feels that everything depends on human effort.
It took me a few months to get the first place in the exam. No, there are only twelve months in a year. When the final exam comes next year, I will show my daily results to the grandmaster and beg the grandmaster to directly reward a junior student!
If other people want to be promoted to junior high school students, they have to pass the final exam, but can I just rely on my daily performance to be recommended?
Isn't it just to invent a guaranteed delivery system? There is still room for operation, but it is too expensive.
Alas, Qin Dewei also has a headache thinking about this, and has to go to Sister Gu to ask for money again. Last year, he sent his cheap dad to the capital to take the exam, and he had already withdrawn three hundred taels.
At this time, when Ding Jiaoyu looked at Qin Dewei, he was full of the affectionate meaning of "people are stupid and have a lot of money".
Someone actually sent money to the county school. There was no reason not to agree. He, Ding Laosan, had been an instructor for two years and he was finally going to see the money!
With the statue of Saint Kong as witness, Qin Dewei and Ding Jiaoyu made a preliminary verbal agreement on donating money in exchange for grades and then withdrew.
When he walked outside, Qin Dewei secretly lamented that the recommended system was not a good thing. After he got the quota for junior students, he would find someone to report to ban this method, all for the sake of my great Ming Dynasty.
When he walked to the gate of the academy again, Qin Dewei suddenly noticed that a large number of people were still gathered here. Not only the new students, but also a large group of old students who were watching the ceremony.
Qin Dewei ignored others and walked up to Xing Yifeng who had snatched his head. He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xing, do you still remember me?"
Xing Yifeng, who was in his early twenties, stared at Qin Dewei for a long time and said hesitantly with a Mandarin accent: "My friend seems familiar?"
Qin Dewei was speechless. Isn't he a face blind person? He, a handsome young man like Qin Dewei, always has a photographic memory when seeing him, but you, the one named Xing, still don't remember it!
"Sit next to you for the test!" Qin Dewei had no choice but to remind him.
Xing Yifeng suddenly realized it and replied honestly: "It turns out to be the friend who got stuck just after writing the second paragraph!"
Qin Dewei: ""
At this time, three or five people gathered around, ww relieved Qin Dewei's embarrassment.
A short, fat old student rudely pressed Qin Dewei's shoulder and said to the two people who were talking: "The seniors have come to watch the ceremony, but you and the newcomers have not expressed your gratitude."
Qin Dewei hated it when a man other than a beautiful woman pressed him like this. He took a few steps away in disgust and asked, "What does it mean?"
The short and fat old student said: "If you are sensible, you should at least be a host first. The seniors will also teach you the rules of the county school."
Qin Dewei understood that these were some unmotivated old students who came specifically to bully the new students today.
Xing Yifeng seemed a little afraid, so he calmed down and said: "There is a restaurant at the entrance of the alley. I will be my host. Please ask a few seniors to move here."
The short and fat old student scolded: "Who are you looking down on! Your host is going to be in the old Qinhuai courtyard or Nanshi Lou Street!"
Qin Dewei was stunned, how long had it been since someone had blackmailed him directly like this?
