My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 14 14. Time is priceless, fate plays tricks on people
"So you brought me back just to tell me that you want to collect money for me to continue studying?"

In the dormitory, Zhao Xuanqi frowned and looked at the roommates in front of him.

Among these eight people, three or four were from the same group as Chen Buchan. At first, these rich kids kept mocking themselves, but now they are trying to raise money to educate themselves?

He asked: "Are you crazy, or am I crazy?"

Chen Buhuan shook his sleeves and said, thinking he was very cool: "Just ask you if you can read? We have already collected the money!"

Speaking of this, another scholar handed a money bag to Zhao Xuanqi. This bag was very exquisite and looked like a fine handicraft.

The bag was very light and contained broken silver. This was the first time Zhao Xuanqi came into contact with broken silver. Before, he could only see copper coins.

He said very doubtfully: "Are you sure you're not joking? Are you trying to tease me?"

Chen Buhuan looked angry: "Who are you looking down on? This little money is just water for us. Do you think we have no money? Just take it if I tell you to take it!"

He pushed the money bag into Zhao Xuanqi's arms. Although he tried his best to pretend to be cool, he still couldn't hide the trace of heartache on his face.

If it's just a month's study fee, it's easy, but there are still more than half a year before the scientific examination. Even if their family background is not ordinary, for them personally, the tuition fee for these six months is not a small amount.

Studying is too expensive in this era!
Reading is completely monopolized!
Zhao Xuanqi was silent.

He didn't expect that at this critical moment, the students who would stand up to help him would be these students who had been targeting him, which was really funny.

Presumably, this is the key to dealing with others.

Even though they kept mocking me, I never argued with them, I just slapped them in the face with my grades.

After their grades slapped them in the face, they did not chase them, scold them, and ridicule them. On the contrary, they did not form hatred with them. There was no deep grudge against each other.

There is not much hatred, coupled with the guilt and arrogant shame of these people for having been targeting them in the past few days, this is the key to these people being able to get the money together.

The most important point is that this is Stony Brook Academy. No matter how bad-minded the students in the academy are, they will not be too bad. There are assessments on conduct. Those with too bad conduct will be expelled from the academy. At most, they will be arrogant and beaten. Talkative.

Zhao Xuanqi grabbed his money bag and said with a grateful face: "Thank you, I will definitely pay you back in the future, and I will repay you double the money. I will do what I say!"

"Who wants you to pay back the money? This is what we collected for you."

"Yes, yes, it's just a little money, it's nothing."

"If you want to pay us back, you are looking down on us."

Chen Buhuan and the others kept shaking their heads, looking like members of aristocratic families spending money like water.

However, Zhao Xuanqi insisted on paying back the money, and his attitude was very tough. In a hurry, Chen Buhuan said directly: "Your grades are so good, and you will definitely get a good honor in the future. What does it mean to just pay us back a little money? This is nothing." What a high official, if you want to repay us, you can give us the largest restaurant, but we like to go to restaurants to have fun!"

Zhao Xuanqi nodded solemnly: "Isn't it just a restaurant? Okay! From now on, I will build the tallest and largest restaurant opposite the academy, the largest restaurant in Shixi City, and you guys will be the shopkeepers!"

This serious look made several students laugh out loud.

You know, every inch of land in the county is precious. Even building the most ordinary restaurant will cost several hundred taels of silver.

If it is the tallest and largest restaurant, it must at least surpass Chunxiao Tower. As a restaurant, Chunxiao Tower has a strong background. It also includes a courtyard below for special services. It occupies a large area and is very beautiful.

If you calculate it carefully, if you want to surpass the Chunxiao Tower, you will need at least tens of thousands of taels of silver to complete the construction. The subsequent decoration will still need to recruit people, which is another huge sum of money.

This huge sum of money was a huge amount even for a county magistrate. Even if Zhao Xuanqi was good at studying, it was still one thing whether he could be a county magistrate in their eyes. How could he build such a big restaurant and give it back to them? They Just listen to it as a joke.

In this way, Zhao Xuanqi successfully collected the next tuition fees.

The good news is here again.

Zhao Asan and the village chief came to the county again and told Zhao Xuanqi good news. Because of the heavy rain, several wild beasts on the mountain came down to steal food. As a result, they were caught by the villagers, skinned and sold for meat. Now in the village There is money in it.

As he said that, Zhao Asan took out the leather bag from his backpack and showed it to Zhao Xuanqi. It was indeed good quality leather, and he didn't know whether it was a wild wolf or a wild raccoon.

Anyway, I sold the furs, which was enough to save food expenses for the next few months.

Zhao Xuanqi finally breathed a sigh of relief as the food expenses were paid and the tuition fees were collected.

You should be able to study hard next, right?
At this moment, Zhao Xuanqi raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him. After careful inspection, he was suddenly stunned.

I saw that the village chief and Zhao Asan had haggard cheeks, and their whole body had lost a degree of weight. Zhao Asan, who was originally a strong man, even became a little thin, and his haggardness could not be concealed. It was hard to imagine what they would do this month. How it was spent.You know, in the village, Zhao Asan and the village chief are from relatively wealthy families, but they have lost a degree of weight due to hunger and are so haggard. What about the other poorer people?
It was then that he reacted belatedly.

Although the whole village has collected enough food expenses for most of the year, how should we provide food for everyone in the village?
What should people in the village eat?
There was a big disaster in the village. They managed to kill wild animals, and all the money from the sales was used as food expenses. What should they do?
Go borrow money?But who can still borrow it? The food expenses for more than 100 people are not a small amount!

While the two village chiefs were selling their furs, he suddenly made a decision.

Zhao Xuanqi returned to the academy, found Master Zhou, and directly explained the matter of dropping out.

"What? Are you going to drop out of school?" Master Zhou looked at Zhao Xuanqi in shock.

"No, I don't agree with you dropping out of school. No matter what happens to you, you have to continue studying in the academy. You will be able to take the scientific examination in half a year. You will definitely get good results!"

"I will come again in the future. The village has suffered a major disaster in the past few months. It is difficult for the tribesmen to eat. They regard the food as my food expenses. So what should they eat? I can't continue studying like this."

Zhao Xuanqi raised his head and looked at his master, with a fire shining in his eyes.

Even if you don't study today, you can come back later.

But if a villager is killed because of his study today, the villager cannot be resurrected.

This is not a game where you can be resurrected by watching ads.

The master was stunned.

Suddenly said: "You wait."

Having said this, Master Zhou staggered and turned away. Not long after, he came back with a small bag: "Take these. I teach in the academy and I have saved some money in the past ten years."

"Think of this money as my support for your villagers to help the village survive this disaster. Moreover, studying not only requires study fees and food expenses, but also requires buying pens, inks, paper, and inkstones and many stationery. If you have a little money left, you can also buy some good pens, inks, and paper. Inkstone.”

He knew that what Zhao Xuanqi was short of was not only food and education expenses, but also the most common pen, ink, paper and inkstone expenses. The young man also needed to consider the food problem for more than 100 households in the village.

So he handed over the money. As long as he had the money, Zhao Xuanqi could buy slightly more expensive pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and he could also help the villagers a little to help them survive this disaster year without causing a major disaster.

"This?" Zhao Xuanqi was silent.

He knew that the masters in the academy were not actually very rich. Most of them were scholars and had a good reputation. They could only be said to be richer than ordinary people. Their families were slightly wealthy, but they didn't have the money to go anywhere.

The amount of money that the Master took out was probably half of his life's savings, and he might even have taken out the coffin.

Even if they are biological brothers, they cannot borrow that much money for the time being, not to mention that the Master and I are not biological brothers.

"You are so stupid."

Master Zhou looked at Zhao Xuanqi's hesitant look and couldn't help but persuade him: "I know you are not in a hurry. With your strength, you will be able to pass the exam sooner or later, so you are not afraid even if you drop out of school. You know that you will definitely succeed in the future. You can come again..."

He said earnestly: "But how many years are there in life? You are already 16 years old, and you don't even have the most basic honors as a child. Even if you come to the academy again, it will be at least three or four years later. At that time, you will I’m almost in my early 20s, and time is priceless. My money can save a genius like you a little time, which is its greatest effect.”

"The younger you are, the more valuable your fame is."

"If it doesn't work, just treat it as my investment in you. If you become a high official in the future, then I will have face, and no one will dare to bully me again."

As a teacher, it was the most heartbreaking time for him to see a talented student drop out of school. Master Zhou looked at the young man in front of him with bright eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Thank you, Master, I understand. I will continue reading!" Zhao Xuanqi nodded movedly and bowed to express his gratitude.

Master Zhou looked at Zhao Xuanqi taking the money, and then he showed a satisfied smile on his wrinkled face.

His eyes are a little complicated.

A few months ago, he had tried to dissuade this young man from entering the academy, thinking that he was too old and had no hope of passing the exam. He would also drag down the already poor family and cause a waste of money. He also thought that this guy was raising a wolf for nothing. In order to study for oneself, it harms the family and makes the family overwhelmed, saying that "rotten wood cannot be carved."

Now, when the real disaster strikes, this young man is able to drop out of school for the sake of his family without any hesitation. His innocence is particularly valuable.

The funny thing is that when this young man really dropped out of school for the sake of his family, he became the one who fully supported him.

Good luck tricks people.
