Daily Life In Qin Dynasty - Chapter 196
Chapter 196 Yingzheng’s Strength
Heishi County, Tieshi Town.
“Uncle Tiezi, why are you in such a hurry, what happened?”
“Why are you still in a daze here, kid? Hurry up… Go back and tell your wife and children to gather at the bulletin board. I have a great news to announce.”
The old farmer who has now become the “Iron Mayor” hurriedly walked, holding a notice in his hand, and even threw his crutches away.
“A great deal? What a great deal?”
“The newly built academy in our town is about to start enrolling students.” After more than a year of development, Tieshi Town has now become the most prosperous commercial town with a radius of tens of miles, so when the academy was built, Mo Jun was here in total. Two elementary schools and a junior high school were built.
“Students are enrolled! What kind of good thing is this?”
During the construction of the three academies in Tieshi Town, people in the town and several nearby villages and towns often waited and watched, and many families had the idea of sending their children to study in the academies after the academies were completed.
After all, the living conditions of the common people in Hanzhong County are now better, and they have even improved several grades than before.
But although there are people who have this kind of idea, they are not many.
the reason is simple.
Because studying is really expensive these days, even if the living standards of more than 70% of the people in Hanzhong County are not inferior to the “rich households” in Xianyang, it is still too much pressure to pay for a child’s education.
Therefore, it is indeed a good thing that the academy in Tieshi Town started recruiting students, but it seems that it has not reached that level in terms of a ‘great thing’.
However, Mayor Tie’s next words instantly made the civilians who asked the question jump three feet high.
“For this enrollment, children who enter elementary school do not need money to study. Do you think this is a good thing?” Mayor Tie glanced at him as he walked.
“No money? How is it possible!” The civilian who asked the question widened his eyes instantly.
“Hey~ Not only is there no money, the academy even includes food and housing!” Seeing the other party’s reaction, Mayor Tie heyed again, and then dropped another blockbuster, which directly blew up the questioner.
“This, this… Mr. Shengping, is it possible that the old man is really the reincarnation of a saint?” The person who asked the question muttered to himself as if he was stupid.
“Hey~~ I don’t know if the old man is the reincarnation of a saint, but in my heart, Mr. Shengping is much better than any so-called saint.”
The two were stunned for a while.
After a while.
The commoner who asked the question suddenly slapped his thigh, and said abruptly: “By the way, I have to go back and tell the good news to the mother-in-law and children at home. Mayor Tie, I’m leaving first.”
Say it.
I saw that person running away in a hurry.
The mayor of Iron Town continued to rush to the bulletin board, and began to quickly spread the news of the academy’s enrollment throughout the entire Iron Stone Town.
One time.
There was an upsurge in the whole Iron Stone Town.
“Old man Shi, have you signed up for your baby yet?”
“Hehe~~Of course I signed up. Mr. Shengping took pity on us untouchables who plan food in the fields, and gave the old man’s family this opportunity. Naturally, the old man will not disappoint Mr. Shengping!”
“Yeah! If this was left in the past, how dare we think about such a good thing.”
“Hey! Who says it’s not? This is the news sent by Mr. Shengping himself, otherwise, if it were someone else, I wouldn’t believe it at all.”
······
“Mr. Shengping is really a saint in the world, and he can have such a boldness. If these academies can really go on smoothly, then my generation of scholars will have a way out in the future!”
“Of course, this time is undergoing a change that hasn’t happened in a thousand years. Brother Li, why don’t you and I go to the academy to apply for a teacher?”
“Hahaha~~ The hero sees the same idea, I didn’t expect Brother Huang to have the same idea.”
······
“Brother, I don’t know what you mean by “academy” just now?”
“From outside?”
“yes!”
“No wonder, if you are literate, you can go to the bulletin board in the center of the town to find out.”
······
Hanzhong County is now home to hundreds of schools of thought, heroes of the world. And as the first “station” to enter Hanzhong, Tieshi Town now gathers countless teachings and streams.
Actually, when Mr. Mo used [Printing Technique] and [White Paper] to gather various schools of thought, many people thought that Mr. Mo just wanted to build an academy similar to [Jixia Academy].
However, until this moment, they suddenly realized that they had completely underestimated that Mr. Shengping.
Someone saw ‘free’ and ‘inclusive of food and accommodation’.
Some people saw something deeper.
There are also some businessmen who have just arrived here. After hearing the news of the ‘New Academy’ from the crowd, their eyes gradually showed thoughtful expressions.
······
······
at the same time.
【Mo Fu】.
“My lord, the enrollment of the academy has gradually entered the right track, but this time, many nobles have also sent their family’s children to the academy. I am worried…”
“No problem!”
Mo Jun waved his hand to dispel Chen Jinghui’s worries, and said, “It’s just a small trick. When the time comes to enroll students, except for the main academy in [Shengping Town], you can just find an excuse for the academies in other areas. Just throw them out.”
Chen Jing was taken aback for a moment, and said, “If you just throw them out like this, what if they take the opportunity to make trouble?”
Mo Jun sneered and said, “It doesn’t matter. It’s just a pre-registration. When you officially register, you can add another rule. There are only three children in each household who can go to school for free. If the extra people want to enroll, You need to pay the tuition fee.”
“As for taking the opportunity to make trouble? Heh~ · If they have the guts, let them try!”
This time the academy enrolls students, Mr. Mo is not at all worried that these nobles in the state of Qin will make trouble.
As for the reason.
It’s actually very simple, that is, this group of nobles has already made trouble.
It’s just that before they had time to take action, they were forcibly suppressed by Ying Zheng and Mo Jun.
And it’s different than before.
This time it was a real forced suppression, without even a reason or an excuse.
When the news of recruiting students in the academy had just spread, Mo Jun’s intelligence agency faintly sensed something was wrong. Although he hadn’t found enough evidence at the time, this was all he needed.
After things are simple.
Mr. Mo filed a complaint, Yingzheng ordered, and the net was started.
Overnight.
Thirteen high-ranking officials and aristocrats ransacked and beheaded, killing blood like rivers.
As for the aftermath…
Not an afterthought at all.
Ying Zheng randomly found some “evidence” and threw it out, and then forcibly calmed down the matter.
The current Yingzheng is no longer the young dragon who was struggling to survive among the forces of Lu Buwei, Lao Ai, and relatives from Chu.
Why did Mr. Mo choose to make such a big commotion at this time? It is because now they are able to control the situation, and they are still suppressing everything unreasonably with absolute strength.
The various clans, old aristocrats, and landlord forces in Qin State are indeed like centipedes, dead but not stiff.
Even Ying Zheng cannot be expelled now.
But it’s not stiff, it’s not stiff, it can be said that Yingzheng is so powerful now, if he just kills dozens or hundreds of bugs, there is still no problem at all.
