Du He said with a smile, giving Kong Yingda a reassurance, "Master Kong, don't worry, I have already mentioned this matter to His Majesty, and of course His Majesty agreed. However, I want you, Master Kong, to report this matter."
Give it to Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Kong Yingda heard this.
This is Du He giving himself credit.
Nowadays, more than 500 children are not studying because their private tutors were arrested. Out of gratitude for these poor children, I asked Your Majesty to send more than a dozen unemployed assistants from the Imperial College to Banshan College to help for a month. This is a great achievement.
Kong Yingda said excitedly: "This is the best, hahaha!"
On the same day, Kong Yingda made a memorial and sent the request to the palace.
In the morning of the next day, Li Er discussed the matter in the court hall.
Only a few people objected. Others felt that Kong Yingda's proposal was very good and could help the children of ordinary people survive the difficulties for a month. Kong Yingda had done a great job.
If Du He were to do this, I'm afraid there would be another outcry. Du He left it to Kong Yingda, and everyone's attitude was exactly the opposite. The reason is that everyone knows that Kong Yingda is selfless and must be for the people.
If Du He is seeking fortune, everyone will first wonder if this guy is thinking of ways to make money again.
So, the matter was passed.
The next day, more than ten teaching assistants from the Imperial College were all in place.
Du He said proudly: "There are two Imperial Colleges in the Tang Dynasty, one is in Qujiangchi and the other is in Banshan College."
The latest issue of Datang News published this matter, and the entire city of Chang'an was shocked.
A teacher from the Imperial College, which everyone would never dream of, is now at Banshan College.
What does this mean...it means that Banshan College is already the same as the Imperial College.
So people came in droves to sign up.
This time, Du He did not offer a free trial class, but directly charged a fee. The monthly tuition and living expenses for an elementary school child totaled a thousand yuan, which was several times higher than the original fee.
It's a pity that there is no shortage of rich people in Chang'an City. Two hundred coins is nothing to everyone. Who let Du He have a teacher from the Imperial College here? In the past, even two hundred coins a month would have been impossible.
Imperial College.
In five days, in addition to ten experimental classes, the primary school of Banshan College had two more formal classes. There were more than a thousand people at once, and it had begun to take shape.
Originally unknown, he became an instant hit at Banshan College where he was ridiculed by others.
Du He's move was very right.
Everyone discovered that not only were there teachers from the Imperial College, but a few days later, even the master of contemporary Confucianism, Kong Yingda, the Imperial Confucian minister, also came to teach. Sun Wuji, the then Sikong Chief, also came to teach. Is this even possible?
However, the children privately discovered that Changsun Wuji's teaching skills were not very good, and the children did not like him very much.
Changsun Wuji almost shed tears when he learned the truth.
As for the news about Li Er's class, Du He did not dare to announce it to the outside world. Only a few people knew about it.
…
A few days later.
Teachers from various prefectures and counties across the country, as well as people selected from the Left and Right Military Guards, Left and Right Xiaowei and other armies to learn the new style of Cuju, also gathered at Banshan College. For a time, Banshan College was extremely lively.
Du He took care of other things and plunged into training the new Cuju.
…
Time flies by very quickly, and a month passes by in a hurry.
During this month, apart from recuperating at home, Wang Gong, the censor, was thinking about how to get the situation back.
This is not because he hates Du He to the core, but the prosperity of Banshan College has directly affected his interests. Wang Gong is the censor of the imperial court, but privately, he opened two private schools in Chang'an City.
He is managed by his two younger brothers, and there are fifty students enrolled. The annual income is also very high. The key is that he also wants to use this method to make the Wang family stronger and stronger. After all, these private schools have
It is inevitable that students will enter the academy in the future. After taking the exam, there may be a few scholars and the like, and these scholars will be his disciples, Wang Gong.
But now Banshan College is in full swing, and seeing that all the private schools in Chang'an City are about to close down, the two private schools run by Wang Gong will bear the brunt. This tone is really intolerable.
So, that night, Wang Gong called his two younger brothers, Wang Zhong and Wang Min, to discuss this matter.
"Tomorrow, those private school teachers will be released... We must use this matter to make a fuss and kill Du He's prestige. Otherwise, Banshan College will be the dominant family, and those people who do not know the truth will kill all the children.
Send it to Banshan College, and then let's drink the northwest wind." After Wang Gong finished speaking, he showed a helpless and bitter smile.
Wang Min said: "Brother, you are unfounded. No matter how powerful the Banshan Academy is, its fees are so expensive. Not many people are willing to send their children there. When Mr. Private School comes out, the people will naturally send all their children to the school."
Sent back."
Wang Zhongdao: "What the third brother said makes sense. Big brother, we don't have to worry. As long as the gentlemen come back, our private school will definitely be the same as before."
Wang Gong nodded and said: "This is the best, but we can't take it lightly. Early tomorrow morning, we will send out all the servants in the house to inform the people and ask them to send their children to our private school before noon tomorrow.
, the sooner the better.”
"Don't worry, brother, we have been prepared."
The three brothers planned again and finally made a foolproof decision.
…
Mid-Levels College.
In the dean's office, deputy dean Ma Zhou led Xiao Shen and other teachers to guard Du He.
Xiao Shen said: "Dean, today, all those private school teachers were released. Early this morning, many people came to our college to pick up their children and take them back... These people are really ignorant.
, Their children have been eating and drinking here for free for a month, and they have also received free textbooks and so on. Now it is better to just say thank you and pick them up as soon as they are picked up. It is really unreasonable!"
Ma Zhou said: "Du He, you are close to His Majesty and are His Majesty's favorite. Why don't you go tell His Majesty again and arrest all those private school teachers, or simply exile them from Chang'an. In this way, these children
Then you can continue to stay at Banshan College."
Du He was speechless for a while.
This guy Ma Zhou is really getting more and more sinister.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone, you must not have such an idea. Now, we at Banshan College eat meat, so we can't kill everyone and stop people from drinking soup. Besides, according to our charges, each child can get enough money every month."
The usual money is simply unaffordable for many people. It makes sense for them to take their children back. Don’t forget our goal. As long as half of the children are willing to stay, we will be satisfied. However, it cannot be made cheaper.
Those private school gentlemen, please close the door first and let them worry first!"
