The students who got the rewards were so excited that their faces turned red, while the students who didn't get the rewards were secretly competing in their hearts.
Originally, everyone studied in private schools, and there were similar exams. However, they were not rewards, but punishments. Those who did not do well in the exams would be punished by their teachers.
At Mid-Levels College, it was just the opposite. There was no punishment for those who did not do well, but there was encouragement for those who did well. This was something no one had ever seen before.
Finally, Du He announced: "To the ten students in the experience class present, congratulations on spending a month of wonderful and happy life. From today on, you officially bid farewell to Banshan College... Of course, the door of Banshan College will always be open to you.
, if you want to stay, you need to sign up again. If you want to leave, you can pack your luggage and leave after dinner. Your parents are already at the gate to greet you."
After the monthly exam, all students have four days of rest.
Ma Zhou and others were not sure how many students from the ten experience classes would come back.
But Du He didn't care about this at all.
…
Wang Gong and others seemed to have seen the dawn, and were so excited that they couldn't sleep since last night.
Then, the three Wang brothers took action immediately.
Wang Gong said: "Now that all these children have returned home, without further delay, we need to ask the parents of these children to send them to the Wang family's private schools as soon as possible."
Wang Min suggested: "Brother, let's work separately to persuade the parents of these children."
Wang Gong nodded: "Okay, let's split up!"
The fees for the Wang family's private school are not cheap, and each child costs almost 500 yuan per month.
Therefore, the children who can study in the Wang family private school are from unusual families, at least they can be considered wealthy. In this era, it is impossible for the truly poor to have the opportunity to study.
The first family that Wang Gong visited, the Xu family, was engaged in silk and satin business in the west of the city, and the family had a lot of spare money.
After entering the Xu family's gate, Wang Gong, as the censor, was regarded as a great official in this family, so he hurriedly entertained them with delicious food and drinks.
Wang Gong said straight to the point: "Brothers of the Xu family, now that all the private school teachers of our Wang family are back, you'd better send your children back to the private schools as soon as possible to avoid delaying your children's studies."
The man surnamed Xu said in embarrassment: "Master Wang, to tell you the truth, I have discussed it with my son's mother, and from now on, I will let the child go to Banshan College."
Wang Gong was shocked.
"This... you have to think clearly. The Banshan Academy in Duhe is full of monsters and ghosts. It is not a place for children to study. What a new type of teaching. I'm afraid it will mislead the children!" Wang Gong decided to belittle the Banshan Academy and look down on it.
High yourself.
But I heard the man surnamed Xu say: "Master Wang, I am just a white man, I don't know anything, I don't know anything. I don't know if Banshan College is a monster, but I heard that many of the gentlemen of Banshan College are Imperial College students."
Come on, the Imperial College is the best school in the Tang Dynasty. The gentleman from the Imperial College teaches our children, which makes us proud. Moreover, I heard that even Mr. Sikong Changsun teaches our children. Anyway, I think Banshan College is the best.
Yes, even if my child cannot pass the examination to become a scholar or Jinshi in the future, he may still be able to join the Dream Group, which is still a good thing."
Wang Gong was immediately embarrassed.
He didn't expect that this rough guy who seemed to only do small business could have such foresight.
He couldn't help but said: "Brothers of the Xu family, don't worry. If you study in our Wang family private school, I can also teach every few days. I am also the censor of the imperial court. I still have many friends in the imperial court."
The man surnamed Xu said: "Master Wang, who is bigger between you and Master Sikong?"
"This...of course is the eldest grandson Sikong."
"Isn't that enough? My child is at Banshan College, but Mr. Sikong Changsun is teaching. I heard that Master Kong, the Confucian master of the Tang Dynasty, will also go there. You are not as good as Mr. Changsun, let alone Master Kong." A man named Xu.
When he spoke, he really showed no mercy at all.
Wang Gong suddenly became depressed.
He thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers from the Xu family, the fees at Banshan College are not cheap. They cost the same every month. But at our Wang family private school, I can only charge 300 wen per month. What do you think?"
"
Hearing this, the man surnamed Xu suddenly laughed: "Mr. Wang, you don't know something. My child got second place in the monthly exam at Banshan College this time and received a reward of 900 yuan. The expenses for the next month will be paid.
Already have it, and if you continue to do well in the exam next month, you can get a reward of up to a certain amount of money!"
As he said this, a look of pride appeared on this honest man's face.
Wang Gong: "..."
The conversation couldn't go on anymore, so he said a few words casually and left.
After a whole day passed, Wang Gong was exhausted.
Of the more than fifty students in the Wang Family Private School, only about ten were willing to come back. The parents of the remaining children were determined to send their children to Banshan Academy.
When the three Wang brothers returned to the mansion, they didn't know what to say and could only sigh.
They originally planned to re-enroll children, but with the fees charged by the Wang family private school, ordinary people could not afford it, so there was no way to recruit new students.
The current situation is that the children of poor people have no chance to go to school, but the rich families don't even need a few hundred pennies to send all their children to Banshan College.
A few days later, Banshan College issued a new policy.
For children from poor families, they can apply for bursaries ranging from 300 yuan to 1,000 yuan per month. The application conditions must be that the family is poor, the academic performance is excellent, and the application must be recognized by Xu Zhiyuan, the magistrate of Chang'an County.
As a result, parents who had previously interrupted sending their children to private schools because of the high fees applied for scholarships and sent their children back to Mid-Levels College.
Four days later, registration was completed.
There were originally more than 500 students in the ten experience classes, but more than 300 came back and were organized into six classes. Together with the previous six classes, there are 12 classes in the primary school of Banshan College.
Nearly seven hundred people have been temporarily stabilized.
However, Chang'an City and the private schools around Chang'an City were in bad luck.
Many small private schools have closed down one after another.
The private school teachers were even more unlucky. They even lost their livelihood and looked for other ways to make a living.
And aristocratic private schools like the Wang family lost their business all at once, which made the three Wang brothers even more depressed.
The three of them got together again to discuss.
Wang Gong said: "This matter must not be left alone, otherwise, our two private schools in the Wang family will be closed forever. By then, this business will be gone, all because of this abominable Du He!"

(Thanks to brothers [Stay Together for Life], [Frozen], and [Xiaobo] for the reward, and thank you brothers for your support!)
