Chapter 676: Shanhe College

Immediately after the Lantern Festival, Wang Xiaoxi organized a convoy to bring his porter and go to the countryside to sell coal stove briquettes.
After opening for a year, the area around Gyeonggi will still be cold for at least two months.
Pay close attention to the last two months, Wang Xiaoxi wants to make a wave of sales and get a commission.
When I came to Tongzi Village today, it was dark when I was finished. Wang Xiaoxi decided to stay in the village for one night.
The person staying in is next to Wang Carpenter's house.
Both are surnamed Wang, and Wang Xiaoxi and Wang Carpenter's family can talk.
Hearing that Wang Carpenter's house was making a lot of noise, he came out to have a look.
Seeing all the family staring at him, Wang Xiaoxi laughed and concealed his embarrassment, "I heard a few words outside the door, are you discussing Saburo's study?"
Carpenter Wang sighed, picked up the cigarette stick and smoked it, his expression gloomy.
Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang talked about each other.
"The family earns money and raises him. We are not convinced."
"It's rare for my child to eat a full meal and fill the bottomless pit with all the money he earns. You can judge Wang Guanshi, and my dad will let him continue to study. This is harming the whole family."
"Unless he earns money to support himself, he won't want to take a penny from home to study."
After listening to Wang Xiaoxi, "What happened to your family? After listening, I understand. That is to say, Saburo costs money to study. After so many years, even a talented talent is not admitted, so he is not allowed to read, right."
Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang nodded together, turned their heads and changed their words and said, "It's not that we don't let him read, but that he can't study with the money at home. Unless he has the ability to earn money to study."
Wang Saburo hurriedly said, "I also help the bookstore copy books to make money on weekdays."
"The little money you earned is not enough for your meals." Wang Lao Er gave him a mouthful.
Wang Saburo looked embarrassed.
Wang Xiaoxi patted Wang Saburo on the shoulder, then patted Wang Lao Er, "Don't make a noise. As long as you don't spend a penny at home, you can let Saburo continue to study."
Wang Lao Da and Wang Lao Er exchanged glances. Finally, the two brothers nodded together and said in unison: "Yes! As long as he doesn't spend a penny at home, he can read or not."
Wang Xiaoxi smiled, "It's simple."
Carpenter Wang's family stared at Wang Xiaoxi in surprise.
Carpenter Wang dropped the cigarette stick and asked nervously, "Does Wang have a way?"
"You guys, staying in the ravine all day, it's no wonder you don't know what's going on outside. And you Saburo, you are a scholar, you don't know why you don't know it." Wang Xiaoxi was heartbroken.
Wang Saburo looked dumbfounded, "Know what?"
"Shanhe Academy, have you ever heard of it?" Wang Xiaoxi waited for everyone to show a suddenly realized expression, but he was disappointed.
Not to mention Wang Carpenter and the others, even Wang Saburo has never heard of Shanhe Academy.
Wang Xiaoxi jumped up anxiously, "Wang Saburo, because you are still a scholar, you don't even know about Shanhe Academy."
Wang Saburo became more confused, "Should I know?"
"Humph!"
Wang Xiaoxi hates that iron cannot become steel. "Have you heard of Xinmin County?"
The Wang family nodded together, who didn't know Xinmin County.
The most enviable is the group of refugees in Xinmin County. Going out of luck, this good thing is on the stand.
They are not refugees, and they are not as good as a group of refugees.
It's so angry.
"Then do you know that Xinmin County was built on the basis of Sihai Commercial Bank?"
Carpenter Wang's family nodded again. Nowadays, people in the village are busy growing sweet potatoes and making wine, raising pigs, chickens and ducks.
"Shanhe Academy was built by the owner of Sihai Commercial Bank. It has been open for several years on the mountain side of Xinmin County. You don’t need repairs to study at Shanhe Academy. You don’t need repairs, board and lodging are included. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all prepared by the Academy. Well, I can get a scholarship."
"There is such a good thing?" Wang Sanlang looked shocked, he didn't even know such a good thing.
Wang Xiaoxi snorted, "Don't be eager to be happy. It is not easy to enter the Shanhe Academy. You have to pass the entrance exam before you can enter school. And you have to take the exam once a month. If you fail to take the exam, you may be dropped out. I heard that Shanhe The entrance examination of the academy is divided into age groups, including the four books and five classics, as well as nine chapters of arithmetic."
Wang Sanlang was stunned, "I still have to test nine chapters of arithmetic?"
Wang Xiaoxi said happily, "Don't be nervous, I heard those scholars say that the exam is very simple. As long as you have studied, you can basically pass it. Wang Saburo, since you want to study, do you want to go to Shanhe Academy for a try? After passing the entrance examination, there is no money for anything, and four sets of clothes are sent out a year."
"God, I even distributed clothes. What Shanhe Academy is doing at a loss?" The two daughter-in-laws of the Wang family exclaimed, not believing that there are such good things in the world.
They were so excited that they wanted to send their children to the college. However, the child hasn't enlightened yet, it is estimated that he is not qualified to go.
Wang Xiaoxi sneered and said, "Can the owner of the Four Seas Commercial Bank miss this amount of money? The owner wants to give the poor scholars a chance after earning money. This is a righteous act. Why not lose money, vulgar!
If you want to go, Wang Saburo, I will return to Beijing in the future, and you can come to Beijing with me. I dare not say anything else, I will solve it for you where I live. I can also introduce you to a few scholars who are all foreign students who live in our rented houses. I remember that there was an entrance exam at the end of this month. "
Wang Saburo hesitated.
He looked at his father Wang Carpenter, and secretly glanced at his two brothers.
Carpenter Wang chirped and smoked, his expression gloomy.
Wang Saburo opened his mouth and said, "Is the exam really easy?"
Wang Xiaoxi slapped him on the shoulder, "You have been studying for so many years, and you are not a talented person. What are you afraid of?"
"I……"
Wang Saburo wants to say that he has no money.
It must cost money to prepare for the exam.
It costs money to eat and live, to review the materials, and to make contacts.
He was ashamed to speak.
The eldest brother and the second brother certainly did not agree to give him money.
Carpenter Wang was silent.
Even Carpenter Wang remained silent.
When Wang Xiaoxi's eyes rolled, he knew what Wang Saburo was worried about.
He laughed loudly, patted Wang Saburo on the shoulder, and asked, "Will I write it down?"
Wang Saburo nodded cautiously.
"It's simple. When I arrived in Xinmin County, there were more ways to make money. I spent half a day every day, and everything about board and lodging was solved. This is my responsibility."
"Is it so easy to make money?" Boss Wang's wife muttered.
Wang Xiaoxi laughed, "Of course it is not easy for those of us who do not know how to make money. But it is easy for scholars to make money. It is simply too easy."
"I'll go!" Wang Saburo made up his mind in an instant.
He looked at his father Wang Carpenter, "Father, I want to try it. If I can get admitted to Shanhe Academy..."
"How about entering the exam?" Wang Lao Er looked upset, "Can you be admitted as a scholar? If you fail to enter the exam, what good is it for you to read so many books? Not only a waste of money, but also a waste of time. Old Three, you are not young anymore, it's time to think about life-long events and don't patronize reading with your head covered."
Wang Sanlang clenched his fists, "Second brother is going to regret it? You said before that, as long as I don't spend a penny at home, I don't care about my affairs. Why, are you interfering with my studies now?"
Wang Lao Er snorted, "What did you take to the college entrance examination? I really thought it was so easy to make money outside."
"It's not easy to make money. I can lend it to Saburo first. When Saburo develops in the future, don't forget me." Wang Xiaoxi laughed, pretending to be joking, but his eyes were serious.
The Wang family brothers stared at Wang Xiaoxi, "Wang Guan, this is our Wang family's family affair. You are an outsider and you should not interfere."
Wang Xiaoxi said, "I think Saburo will have something to do someday, can't we make a good destiny first?"
"you……"
"That's it." Carpenter Wang interrupted his two sons and immediately decided.
"Father!" Boss Wang frowned, "Is the youngest going to the capital without spending money? Where does the money come from."
Carpenter Wang gritted his teeth, "I will pay the money."
"That is the family's money." Wang Lao Er was anxious.
"This is the last time I have given money to Saburo." Carpenter Wang said loudly, "In the future, regardless of whether Saburo can read it out, he will have to rely on him to earn money to support himself. This is the case, no one is allowed to do more. Say something."
Even if the elder king and eldest son refused to accept, he could only shut up.
Wang Carpenter said to Wang Saburo again: "In these years, in order to support your studies, the family savings have been spent. Your eldest brother and second elder brothers speak badly, but they can't help it. So many mouths have to eat, so sad!
If you are promising in the future, don't forget the kindness of your elder brother and second brother. These years, they have been supporting you. You have to be gracious, be grateful, don't be a white-eyed wolf, and look down on your family when you are successful. "
Wang Carpenter urged Wang Saburo earnestly.
Wang Saburo nodded his head, "I dare not forget the kindness of eldest brother and second elder brother, I remember them all in my heart."
The two brothers, the eldest and eldest brother, looked sullen, embarrassed, and a little bit ashamed.
Seeing everyone embarrassed, Wang Xiaoxi came forward to complete the battle, "The matter is settled. Tomorrow I will go to a few villages and return to Beijing the next day. Wang Saburo, pack my luggage and go to Beijing with me the next day."
"Thank you Wang Guanshi!"
