The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 99 Plan
To be a general, you must first have martial arts, so that you can be successful on the battlefield and save your life.If you want to be admitted as a scholar, you have to go to a good academy and have a good teacher to guide you.

With this in mind, the second day after Mai Xiang returned to the barracks, she took half a day off and went back to Luhuawan.

Liang Gaoshan said happily: "Mai Xiang, are you on vacation?"

Mai Xiang: "Daddy, it's not a holiday. I want to send Banxia to study in the academy in Hongye City! He reads at home alone, without his master's guidance, so his progress will definitely be slower. Moreover, what he doesn't understand, he I keep thinking about it, but I can't figure it out! It's much easier if the master knows it, and you can avoid many detours!"

Liang Gaoshan was a little hesitant: "But, if your second brother leaves, there will be no master in the school in the village!"

Mai Xiang: "The school in the village is just an enlightenment class, and Licorice can take over. With the knowledge of Licorice, it is more than enough to be an enlightened teacher!"

Fahrenheit's voice was very sharp: "No! Licorice is a girl, how can she show her face?!"

Mai Xiang: "It can be stipulated that the school only accepts children under the age of seven. In this case, it doesn't matter! Men and women have different seats at the age of seven. If they are under the age of seven, it doesn't matter!"

Liang Gaoshan: "In this way, if this is the case, wouldn't those children over the age of seven have no chance to study?"

Mai Xiang: "It's not that there is no chance. Let the village chief go outside to find a scholar to enlighten the children. Before finding it, the school only accepts children under the age of seven. There is no other way! Besides, if it is that This kind of special gifted child, who can take the road of imperial examination in the future, should be sent to the academy in Hongye City to study!

After all, Ban Xia is just a scholar, not comparable to those experienced masters!Tell the village head well, he should understand!For students over the age of seven, if they have received tuition fees from others, they will be refunded in full!In this case, everyone will have nothing to say! "

In other words, at the beginning, Ban Xia's Shu Xiu was two taels of silver.At that time, it was only intended to accept the children of Luhuawan as students.Two taels of silver are paid by the village with public funds.Later, children from Zaozigou and nearby villages all came to school here.The Shuxiu of Pinellia is the Shuxiu handed in by these students, one year and a half taels of silver per person.

This price is very low.You know, when I was in Liangjia'ao, in the primary school in the village, a child got three taels of silver a year.This silver does not include the various gifts to be given to the Master.In Luhuawan, students don't have to give gifts to the master.Collecting half a tael of silver is just for fun.

Liang Gaoshan nodded: "Okay, I got it! Just listen to you, and send your second brother to Hongye City to study tomorrow!"

Mai Xiang: "I'll take care of sending Pinellia to Hongye City! In a few days, I'll go to Hongye City first and visit the head of the academy. Make sure, and then come back to pick up Pinellia and go to Hongye City .”

The best academy in Hongye City is not so easy to get into. If you don't go to confirm it first, you will rashly take Pinellia there.If people don't accept it, it will cause a blow to Ban Xia's heart.If they don't accept it, she has to go to the governor to ask him to come forward and make peace.

A few days later, after finishing her urgent affairs in the barracks, Mai Xiang rode a horse to Hongye City.Now, her riding skills are already very good, not much worse than Zhao Yan.

The best academy in Hongye City is called Hongye Academy.

When the head of the mountain heard that the female general Liang Moju asked to see him, he was very excited. He was not those sour old antiques.He also highly appreciates strange women with ambition and courage.

Mai Xiang exchanged some pleasantries with him, and then proposed: "Master Shan, I have a 12-year-old younger brother who is now a scholar. When he was selected as a scholar, I wanted to send him to the academy. Do you know if the head of the mountain is willing to accept it?"

"Yes, yes, he is the general's younger brother and the chief of the case. This old man can only wish for it! Tomorrow, the general will send him here tomorrow!" The head of the mountain responded hastily.

Mai Xiang: "Well, I'll send him the day after tomorrow! Today, after I go back, there may be some things to take care of in the barracks, and I'll send him the day after tomorrow! By the way, there should be a place to stay when I go to school here ?”

Shan Chang: "Yes, there are not only dormitories here, but there are three types. Okay, medium and ordinary. I don't know what kind of dormitory the general wants your brother to live in?"

Mai Xiang: "Let's live in a middle-level place! Too comfortable environment will make him lazy, and too good environment, those students must be children of rich and noble families. To tell you the truth, I was born in a poor farm family, although Now I am rich, but there is still a certain gap compared with those rich and noble families. Moreover, the children of rich and noble families have many problems. I hope that my brother will grow up in a relatively peaceful environment. The environment is not suitable for him now!"

The head of the mountain nodded approvingly: "The general is right. Children from rich and noble families do have a lot of problems. The biggest problem is that they look down on children from poor families, and many of them have learned ruthless methods and methods. Thoughts. It is indeed a wise move for you to place your brother in a medium-level dormitory! Since you are here to study, the bad environment will also affect your body and study. If you have the ability, it is better to live in a medium-level dormitory !"

For the female general Liang Moju, he was more and more appreciative, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must take care of her younger brother Banxia.

By the way, Pinellia's name is Liang Shuhuai.

Mai Xiang asked again: "Shan Chang, my neighbor has a child who is as old as my brother and is also 12 years old. Now, he only knows "Three Character Classics" and "Hundred Family Surnames". Does the academy accept such students? Don't worry, the head of the mountain, this man is called Liang Chunsheng, he is a very hardworking and simple kid, and he has a strong interest in reading and literacy."

The head of the mountain nodded: "Well, there is also an enlightenment class in the academy, you can send him too! Send him, and your brother will also have a companion. In this academy, there is no one who is familiar with the relationship. It's still kind of sad!"

There is a person who grew up together, and when he meets a headache, he also has personal care.Otherwise, life can be sad.

Mai Xiang hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Then thank you, Chief Shan. Don't worry, whether it's my younger brother or my clan brother, there is nothing to say about character and temperament. Moreover, they are all hard-working people. The day after tomorrow, I will Just bring them to sign up, Liang Chunsheng's dormitory, and ask the head of the mountain to help put my brother's together! Thank you!"

Shan Zhang: "This medium dormitory is also divided into two types, one is for four people, and the other is for two people. General, which one do you choose?"

Mai Xiang didn't hesitate: "It's just the one of the two! It's not easy to study, and if you meet a difficult roommate, it's a terrible thing!"

The head of the mountain nodded approvingly: "Okay, I understand. Then, let's see you the day after tomorrow!"

After bidding farewell to the head of the mountain, Mai Xiang quickly returned to the barracks.

Zhao Yan took the initiative to ask: "How is it? What did the head of the Red Leaf Academy say?"

Mai Xiang: "Thank you for your relationship with the general. The head of the mountain has already agreed. I have to take a day off the day after tomorrow to send my brother to the academy."

Zhao Yan: "Okay, anyway, there is nothing to do during this period of time, you can go as busy as you want!"

Mai Xiang's main responsibility is to develop new weapons or agricultural tools, as long as she can produce one new thing a year, she will be considered as responsible.Therefore, her time is very flexible, and she does not need to sit in the barracks all day long.Asking for a day or two off will not have any major impact on the barracks at all.

Hearing that he could go to Hongye Academy, Chunsheng was overjoyed.

He knew that Mai Xiang must have won this opportunity for him.

The happiest thing is Chunsheng's father, Maolin.

Ban Xia was also very excited.

It was a pleasant surprise for him to be able to go to the academy with Fa Xiao.When he was in Qinghe County, he went to the academy alone without anyone he knew.In the beginning, it was really hard.There is an illness and no one takes care of it.

Moreover, he has a very good relationship with Chunsheng, and he also hopes that Chunsheng can go further in the imperial examination.At the very least, you have to pass the scholar exam.Although Chunsheng is not very smart, he is very hardworking and diligent.It shouldn't be too difficult to be a scholar before.

After going to the academy, he helped Chunsheng a little bit more. After two years, Chunsheng would definitely pass the Tongsheng exam.As long as you pass the Tongsheng exam, you can receive five taels of silver and two hundred catties of grain a year.In this case, life also has a basic guarantee.

Moreover, this is the Northwest, so as long as Chunsheng can stay in Hongye Academy to study and pass the talent examination beforehand, then it is really not a problem.If it's still in Qinghe County, it's hard to say.It is said that the exam questions in Northwest China are much simpler.Moreover, there are very few scholars in the Northwest, and the competition is much smaller.

On this day, Mai Xiang personally sent the two of them to the academy.

Before going, Huashi, Licorice, and Poria cocos made two sets of clothes for Pinellia.Going to school in Hongye City, if you dress too shabby, you will be looked down upon.

The material for the clothes was suggested by Mai Xiang to buy in Hongye City, and he also gave a copy to the Maolin family, asking Chun Shengniang to make two sets of clothes for him.Chun Shengniang was not good at making clothes, so she hurried to find Tian Sheng's wife and a sister-in-law in the village for help.

On the day of going to Hongye City, both Banxia and Chunsheng put on new clothes.

Mai Xiang, a military officer and prefect, drove the carriage and sent the two of them to the academy.

Three personal soldiers rode on horses and followed closely.

The head of the mountain prepared a well-lit dormitory for Banxia and Chunsheng, which is secluded and well-lit.

Mai Xiang was very happy, and gave Shan Chang a bolt of high-quality cotton cloth, a jar of high-quality wine, ten big red apples, and fifty catties of cornmeal.

The head of the mountain was very happy and very enthusiastic about Mai Xiang.

As the head of the mountain, my family is actually quite poor.There are old parents on the top, and several grandchildren who are waiting to be fed. There are more than [-] people in a large family, all relying on the monthly salary of him and his two sons.Fortunately, the students in the academy have all kinds of filial piety during the festivals.Otherwise, he, the head of the mountain, would have nothing to worry about.

Shanchang's eldest son, in his thirties, is a Juren and also works as a teacher in Hongye Academy.Shan Chang's second son, 25 years old, is only a scholar, and he is also the teacher of Hongye Academy, the teacher of the enlightenment class.Shan Zhang's third son, married for two years, joined the army last year, and is still a big soldier now.

The eldest son has three sons and two daughters; the second son has two sons and a daughter, and the youngest son has a son and a daughter.Add up, there are ten grandchildren.In addition, Shanchang has two daughters, one is 12 years old and the other is ten years old.
