The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 1070

[Chapter 1070 The Way of Balance]

“The second point is to be able to do it well. To put it more bluntly, I need money, not a little money, but a lot of money.

Although Master I didn’t tell him, but he could guess that a lot of money was spent to establish these academies. Not to mention anything else, the mansion of this academy cost a lot of money.”

Emperor Chu thought of this, his expression It gets a little weird.

To other people, this Kyoto mansion is indeed a large sum of money, but to your master, it may not be.

To be precise, the residences in Kyoto Prefecture were not so expensive in the past. The reason why they were so expensive was because of your master.

Although he thought so, he didn’t say it out loud.

Zhao Hao continued: “In addition to the mansion, there are also gentlemen. Erchen’s previous gentlemen were all highly educated scholars. Erchen didn’t think they were so powerful before, but when he arrived at the Liberal Arts College,

those gentlemen in the Liberal Arts College were probably just a few .

A small candidate, but one who barely managed to pass the exam after taking the exam for decades. Erchen felt that they were really nothing, but later he realized that not

only in the Kyoto Prefecture, but also in the whole world, the people in the whole country were the best .

There are very few teachers in the academy, and it can even be said that there were none before this.

The master once told his son that if you want a horse to run, you must feed him well. Therefore, these candidates are willing to come to the academy. Teaching must also bring a lot of benefits.

The most intuitive benefit is money. This money must be enough to make them willing to give up their status as a scholar. This shows how much money is needed.”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he subconsciously said. He nodded.

Although this is a very simple truth, it is not easy for Hao’er to analyze it on his own at his age.

“Speaking of the above two points, they are nothing. Some noble families or wealthy businessmen can get it out after gritting their teeth. This third point is the most important, which is the scholarship.

Others .

If you want to study in the academy, you have to give money. But in the academy founded by Master, if you want to study and do well, not only will they not charge you money, but they will still give you money, and the amount of money is not large.

When Erchen first arrived at the academy, he had no idea about this. It was just a scholarship of a few taels of money. What was the use of it?

Erchen never bothered to work hard for this scholarship.

But later

.

But I discovered that this scholarship is the key to the establishment of the academy and its ability to cultivate so many outstanding people. Its role is far beyond Erchen’s imagination. “

Scholarship?

It sounds interesting, and it can indeed motivate some students to study, but is the effect really that great?

When Emperor Chu heard this, he looked curious and said, “Oh? Tell me.”

When Concubine Shu heard what Emperor Chu said, a look of surprise flashed across her face.

She was keenly aware that His Majesty was a little different from before.

If His Majesty had heard this just now, he would have been displeased.

It is possible not only to be displeased, but also to be furious, and even scold those scholars: They smell of copper and are unbearable!

But now I accept it very happily.

It can be seen that His Majesty not only listened to what Hao’er said just now, but also fully agreed with it.

Your Majesty knows that money is more important than imagined. Without money, many people would not know how to read at all and would not be able to read at all.

Your Majesty has always been an open-minded person, but there are not many people who can truly gain His Majesty’s approval.

Now Hao’er’s words were recognized by His Majesty. At this moment, even Concubine Shu began to take it seriously.

After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

It seems that she has not understood her son for a long time.

As she thought this, Hao’er’s voice continued: “First of all, this scholarship can encourage students to study. In the past, I always thought about what the purpose of studying is, and for those common people. He said that reading is for fame and fortune.

As for Erchen, what is the purpose of studying? Now I know that the purpose of studying is to let everyone in the world read. All scholars should not study for fame and fortune.

Of course, these are just my own thoughts and are not the purpose of Master’s establishment of scholarships. The purpose of Master’s establishment of scholarships is to enable those who cannot study to study, and at the same time, to enable those who do not care to study. “A person who fishes in troubled waters can’t study.

It’s just a scholarship, but it solves two problems very cleverly. My master’s talent will never be matched by my son.”

When Concubine Shu heard this, she broke into a cold sweat again and opened her mouth. , I wanted to say something, but in the end I hesitated and didn’t say it.

Zhao Hao continued: “It is precisely because of this that many of the classmates around Erchen study hard. They do not need supervision from others and stay up late at night to study in order to continue studying.

They all They came from a poor family, so they cherished the opportunity to study even more. When Erchen looked at them, he thought in his heart that if the magistrates and county magistrates were to be appointed by these classmates of Erchen in the future, they would be better than those who had money to study. People who study for fame and wealth are much better,

because they know what the lives of poor people are like, so when they see poor people, they can think of themselves and help them.”

Emperor Chu was shocked again when he heard these words. .

While shocked, I was even more relieved.

I didn’t expect that Hao’er could think so much at such a young age.

He was actually able to think about a problem from the perspective of a king.

Now, he was actually starting to feel lucky.

Fortunately, something happened to Prince Kang and Prince Ning one after another. If nothing happened to them, the position of crown prince would definitely fall on one of them.

In that case, it would only be a disaster for the imperial court and Da Chu.

And Hao’er is a born emperor!

He thought so in his heart, and couldn’t help but smile on his face.

Zhao Hao was still talking about the scholarship: “In addition, the master also did something that greatly admired me, that is, he allowed the children of distinguished nobles or wealthy businessmen to come to study, and at the same time he charged a large amount of money. The money.

In this way, it can make up for the shortfall of the scholarship.

From here, I learned for the first time what the gentlemen mean by the balance. Those who have money can pay for their studies, and those who have no money can pay for their studies. , This is the way of balance.

It is precisely because of this way that the academy can continue to operate.

This is the wisdom of the master. So many people throughout the ages have never imagined that the master is so powerful.”
