Chapter 1148

"Daddy, I'm going to Longyang College for further study." Shen Yan said seriously.

Master Shen was surprised. The little son of his family spent all day looking for flowers and asking for willows. It was like killing him to ask him to read a book. Why did he take the initiative to read today?

Master Shen's intuition was insidious. He sneered and said, "do you like a scholar in Longyang academy?"

The corners of Shen Yan's mouth twitched and frowned. He said bitterly: "Daddy, I'm going to study sincerely this time, not to go to the wild."

Master Shen didn't believe it. He walked around his handsome son with his hands akimbo. He said with a smile: "are you really going to study? What are the four books and five classics? Do you know who I am? " Although Confucius and Mencius didn't know who he was when he was a child, he didn't even know who he was.

"Daddy, you're killing me too much, aren't you?" Shen Yan can't laugh or cry. Is such a simple question worth asking?

It's no surprise that Shen's reply is flowing.

Master Shen was numb. It took him a long time to recover. He patted his son on the shoulder with tears in his eyes and said with great satisfaction, "son, you've grown up! Go and study hard, my father supports you

His son even knows who the four books and five classics and Laozi are. It seems that he has worked hard! Son, this is sincere. If you want to learn it well, he must support it! Master Shen thinks passionately that their Shen family's business has finally been succeeded!

In this way, Shen Yan easily settled his own Laozi, and got a big bag of jinzhuzi by the way. He went to Longyang academy leisurely.

The breeze is blowing, the sun is warm, and the willows are swaying. Everything seems just right.

Nowadays, reading is not a national activity, but a special business of the rich. Longyang academy needs a ingot of silver just for tuition.

What is the concept?

Most ordinary families are just farmers, whose annual income is only 2-5 Liang silver at most - this is just their income. If you add in the annual expenses, they'll have very little left.

According to today's prices, the average ordinary people in Pingtou only use 100 coppers a month, and 1200 coppers a year. A thousand copper plates are equal to one or two silver, and ten Liang silver is equal to one ingot of silver. In other words, one year's tuition of Longyang college will cost ordinary people ten years' expenses.

It's just tuition.

Longyang college also charges for books, meals and accommodation. These days, a book is only a few tens of Wen copper money, hardcover collection of books top the day also sold to more than 300 Wen, but Longyang Academy of books instinctively sold to 500 Wen!

What's expensive is not only the cost of books, but also the cost of accommodation in Longyang college. The average rent for a month is as high as three Liang silver.

However, there is a reason why it is expensive - it is said that the security of Longyang academy is very good. The guards in the academy are all experts from the imperial palace. Every dormitory is equipped with very good conditions - but they are double rooms, there is no single room. Because the local consumption level is too high, every inch of land and money, we can only repair double rooms to reduce costs.
