Chapter 65: I'm eating breakfast

The river is gurgling, flowing quietly to the distance, winding, and the red sun is bright. The reeds become academy, and educate people for a hundred years. The sound of books is bright in the pastoral countryside, like a fantasy water and clouds.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who stayed in Zhuangzi to watch other people's competitions, got up this day. As soon as they walked between the water clouds, they heard the sound of books coming from the academy. Except for the kids who joined the later and the young ones, they all went to the academy to study.

The old man found some teachers and divided them into several subjects. Zhang Xiaobao did not ask Jianjia Academy to teach those things written by Wang Juan. Those things would be returned to Zhuangzi after school.

There is also no discipline involving medicine and technology in academies. There are special engineering schools to teach in technology, and there are special hospitals in medicine. After Yaowangshan is ready, a medical school is established. It is best to bring a few doctors from the medical school in Beijing.

The sound of reading echoed in the academy not far from the water clouds. People who were eating in the water clouds and the village households didn't feel it was noisy. Some even stopped to listen carefully, as if it was a pleasant thing to listen to others' reading.

The old man was older and got up earlier. He was doing eight birds in the pavilion. When he saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he drew a few more times and walked towards the main restaurant in Shuiyunjian to have dinner with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

"Grandpa Bi, some people have come here in the past few days. How many students have you taken? There are some new faces in the academy." Wang Juan looked forward and asked the old man.

"I have collected eleven people, four of whom are good at home, and two of them are recommended by old friends to return. When tomorrow, those people may arrive, they can choose some of them. I cannot collect people like you think, specifically picking those with rich ones.

And what they had agreed to have at the beginning was all paid for by the Zhang family. It was not bad, especially the food. Not to mention the meat every day, at least an egg must be added. I have seen the food that the little kids in your farm eat, so they don’t need to be that good, and less milk is fine."

The old man pointed to the direction of the academy and said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't expect to charge any tuition fees, and they wouldn't specifically seek wealthy people to collect them. They would train more people and would also expect them to help in the future. Of course, they would take care of these trivial matters when they are food and clothing.

Wang Juan went upstairs with the old man and said, "Grandpa Bi, don't worry, we are not short of this money. We will guarantee that there will be a meat dish every day in the future, but it won't be too good. According to the box lunch we sell now, in the morning there will be a bowl of porridge, or soy milk, tofu brain, two tea eggs, big dishes, buns or fried dough sticks, and two small pickles.

At noon, there are two vegetarian foods and one meat, including rice and steamed buns, and an egg flower soup. At night, there are two vegetarian foods and two meats. After they finish eating, they have to continue studying. If they don’t continue studying, there are only two vegetarian foods. They don’t care what they are willing to do after eating. Before going to bed in the middle of the night, there is a bowl of fish soup.

In terms of living, you don’t need to spend three seasons a year, spring, summer, winter, and autumn. You can wear two sets of clothes a season. If you wear them badly, you can make up for them yourself, or buy them.

We have to take care of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. We can fix those things every month. If you need them extra, you can ask them to give more people who have learned well. They can also help copy books while they are studying in the academy and give different money according to their thickness. Anyway, they have to practice them themselves.

In other words, as long as they are really willing to learn, they will not only not be short of things, but will save some money, and the rich people will not care about it. They think that the food in the academy is not good and can eat outside, and it will only take a few steps between the water and clouds.

You can also buy the clothes you wear yourself, but they must be made in the uniform style of the academy. You have to embroider the characters of the academy on the clothes. You are not allowed to go home or go outside to cause trouble. You can choose a house in the academy where you live. This is not a money-free, and you can also go to Shuiyunjian to book a yard.

But at a certain time at night, we will not be allowed to come out again. Grandpa Bi, do you think this is OK? We have done everything we can do."

The old man didn't expect Wang Juan to say so in detail. It seemed that when he came out, he mentioned this at home. He thought about it and asked, "What if someone is sick?"

"To treat it, of course, those who are sick must be treated. This is not a good deal. You can't just use hundreds of years of ginseng if you get sick. Just a common medicine, if you are too good, you have to learn how to treat the disease. If you rank first in the academy, you can't give it to him."

Zhang Xiaobao continued at this time, saying that getting sick is a normal human being, but it cannot be said that anyone who gets sick will use good medicine hard. If someone really gets a disease that cannot be cured, there is no way.

"That's good, your family will have to spend a lot of money now." The old man was satisfied and just treated him when he was sick. He calculated the account a little. If there was a student of about 200 in the academy, the Zhang family would have to spend four jin of money a day, especially those meat dishes.

After a year, even clothes and other things can cost at least 2,000 guan. After all, there is still money to copy books, and copying books is indeed a way to learn.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also know this, but the money they should spend must be spent. For the long-term plan, the same will be true in future medical schools.

Wang Juan said to the old man at this time: "It costs a lot of money. In summer, rock sugar mung bean porridge and sour plum soup, plus ice when it is too hot, charcoal and coal burned in winter, all of which are all money, and tea to refresh the spirit at night, prepare half a pound of tea for one person a month.

We can only drink it by ourselves and not sell it. Ordinary tea is enough. We can’t give them dozens of taels of silver to tea.”

The old man was even happier now. If the students in the academy don’t study hard, they will drive away one when they see it and will never show any mercy.

"Your family will spend a few years first. When they make a fortune in the future, they will definitely repay your family. Who dares to go against you? As long as you tell the matter of the academy, no one will continue to make friends with that kind of person. What will you eat this morning?"

The old man also understood that the students who went out of the academy would be kind to the Zhang and Wang families in the future. The money would not be spent in vain, so they would be considered as taking their own needs.

"Drink milk, eat cake, and serve a few fried eggs at home and let them fry a big goose egg." Wang Juan said to the guy waiting at the door.

The cake was roasted in the oven where the fish fillets were grilled. Milk was not available at all times, and you could eat it if you catch up.

After a while, the guy brought the things up. In addition to the things Wang Juan said, there were also a few slices of roasted ham and some pickles.

This way of eating is only seen in some restaurants in the Zhang family. Many people are not very adaptable, especially cakes. They are good to eat as snacks, but if you really treat them as regular meals, you always feel that you can't eat enough, which is not as real as buns.

The old man has been used to these days. He is a little fatter than when he came, and his sick body is better. He doesn't need to fix the amount of food he eats at a time. He eats some food when he wants to eat, eat more meals a day, and eats less at each meal. For him, there is a special set of recipes.

"What are you comparing in the academy?" The old man ate a fried salted fish meat wrapped in egg white and noodles, and asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

"Drawing, calligraphy, poetry, and commentary are all in the academy. The couplets are placed outside and they are matched while browsing the scenery. Grandpa Bi should ask them to make more couplets, at least they should also be in parallel when writing poems, and there is also archery at the foot of the mountain."

Zhang Xiaobao talked about the project. Couplets are generally not valued. They are difficult to walk outside while walking, and they can test people even more. After this time, people who suffer losses in couplets will often use them. There is no need to develop them until the Song Dynasty. I don’t know if there is any Song Dynasty.

In fact, the most important thing is that Zhang Xiaobao wants to take advantage of those in his village who learned Li Weng's rhyme from Wang Juan.

The old man didn't know Zhang Xiaobao's scrupulousness, and thought the arrangement was good, so he nodded and said, "Then do it like this. It is said that many of the people who came here can no longer have enough food, so you still have to take care of it."

"It's not said that this is just like that. Someone has come here. Every day, people who sell lunch boxes in the farm will prepare a serving for them. They will pick up the dishes themselves, choose any of them, three vegetarian food and one meat, and a few of them are even ready to go to school to teach their children."

Wang Juan drank the last sip of milk and said as she picked up the cold boiled water next to her to rinse her mouth.

The old man didn't say much about this. It was impossible for everyone to care about the world. He didn't do anything when he was studying. He would lack labor at home. Those pens and papers cost money. After studying for a few years, he finally got a tribute in the village. As a result, he went to the capital to take the exam. Those who didn't pass the exam were not even paid for the trip home.

Generally speaking, some families have their own internal schools and find people to teach their children. Other ordinary families are not good at all, and they have to borrow books. In this case, there are very few talented people who learn from ordinary families.

The Zhang family can arrange something for them, which is considered a good deed. In addition, if you run a college, I think that even if Zhang Zhong really makes some mistakes, as long as you don’t rebel, you can get out of it. The emperor has to consider such a thing.

"Young master, it's not good, someone has gone to the lake." While the three of them were having dinner, the guy ran in and said anxiously to Zhang Xiaobao.

"Do to the lake? Don't even throw yourself into the lake between our water and clouds. There are so many other places, so don't worry about eating."

Zhang Xiaobao frowned, waved his hand to the friend, said lightly, and continued to eat. Wang Juan was not worried at all. Unless he fell from a few hundred meters and died, there would be nothing wrong with the lake. There were always ships patrolling back and forth on the lake, so he was afraid that some literati would drink high and jumped down the window to cool off.
