It has already entered October, but the climate in Jiangzhou is still as pleasant as spring, but the temperature in the morning and evening will be relatively low.
The tea merchants left Jiangdu with carts of tea, but Shen Wan's tea had not been sold out yet, and she was preparing to form a caravan!
The businessman from the Western Regions who had exchanged the glass cup for tea with her last time came, brought his friends, and took away all the hundreds of thousands of kilograms of tea she had left.
She exchanged some of the colored glaze lamps for exquisite gems from the Western Regions, and gave some of them to cash. Shen Wan put the colored glaze lamps directly on the shelves of Youranju for sale.
After the tea was sold out, after all the costs were calculated, including the money spent on buying the tea mountain, I actually made a profit of 2.6 million taels of silver.
Shen Wan looked at the account book and felt that she was too rich.
Moreover, I also have the feeling that I have too much money to spend. Money is dead wherever you throw it away, so the way to prove its value is to spend it meaningfully.
So, with a wave of her hand, she bought a piece of land in a quiet place outside the city and built a Yucai Academy. It would admit diligent, studious and good-character children between the ages of six and sixteen for free, regardless of gender. Accommodation would be provided. If you want to eat in the academy, you only have to carry ten kilograms of food to the academy every month.
Although they are in the same academy, men and women will receive education in two colleges. The male teachers in the men's college teach, and the female teachers in the women's college teach. The content of the courses is the same as in other academies, and they teach the six arts of a gentleman.
It will take about two months to complete the college, and enrollment will begin in the spring of next year.
As soon as the news came out, the whole Jiangzhou was in a state of excitement.
It is said that Jiangzhou has many talented people, but studying is very expensive and not everyone can afford it.
The county leader founded An Yucai Academy, which means that more children who want to study but cannot afford it can do so. This is a benevolent and righteous act, and it is also a kind act. More people respect and love Shen Wan.
Whenever you hear someone on the street saying something bad about the county leader, you will soon see three or five people surrounding him to defend the county leader.
There was even a person in the family who wanted their children to attend the academy and went directly to the construction site to help build the academy.
Obviously there is no salary, but the construction site not only provides meals, but also provides big white steamed buns, white rice, and meat for every meal. After working every day, the construction site stewards still forcefully give them wages, one hundred yuan a day. I felt a bit embarrassed about them.
I can only keep saying that the county boss is good and benevolent.
Before the academy was built, a sign was put up outside Youranju recruiting male and female gentlemen. The requirement was that those who have a heart to teach and educate people should have ten male and female gentlemen each, and one of them should be good at riding and shooting. One is good at calligraphy and painting, and one is good at musical instruments.
The minimum requirement for a male gentleman is to be a scholar, and there is no upper limit for the highest level of merit. There is no requirement for a male gentleman to be a scholar.
There is no such thing as a female gentleman who has no fame and fame. If you feel that you are well-read, able to impart knowledge and knowledge, and can master almost all the six arts of a gentleman, then you should come.
The remuneration is favorable, including food and accommodation, monthly salary starting from ten taels of silver, paid vacation, and double salary at the end of the year.
This kind of treatment attracted many literati who had failed to pass the examination for a long time and failed to pass the Jinshi examination for a long time, so they flocked to Youranju for interviews.
You He couldn't understand why he, a teahouse owner, had to take care of the recruitment of teachers in the academy? He, a man with only the reputation of being a scholar, was really stressed when he was in front of the master...
Seeing that his boss had raised his salary to twenty taels of silver per month, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.
