The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 147
Lu Ming put the list of books sold in the past few days on the table, and looked at Chu Ying who was drawing something. "This is a book for sale. You can take a look. When the time comes, the goods will be replenished. If you want to use money to withdraw money, just go to the store directly. You don't need to go to the house specially. You have never used the jade pendant I gave you."

"Okay, Ye Qiu, take out more books that are selling well and put them in the box." Chu Ying drew the blueprint of the dormitory, because there is a library next to it that can be used for self-study, so she didn't put a desk, just Place a bed and some storage cabinets.

"Don't believe Qingyan's nonsense, he just prevaricates you like this."

"I know." Of course Chu Ying could tell the difference between angry words and truthful words, but since Mr. Qingyan said that if he really hit the tiger and carried it in front of him, he couldn't break his word.

"There are quite a lot of people selling books and coming to your place now. The study room is much more lively than before. The restaurant Ye Qiu runs is doing good business in the morning and at noon. But why can't there be a la carte dishes? You can make money that way More, you don’t earn a lot with this vegetarian dish.” Lu Ming looked at the crowd lined up at the entrance of the restaurant, and he definitely wouldn’t be in the line.

"You have to help me think about this matter. Let's list some dishes that are more suitable for your appetite. Didn't I give you a lot of dishes before?" Chu Ying has already made the ingredients that can be found here in the way of stir-frying for Lu Ming has eaten it, but people here are used to steamed, boiled and stewed food, and they are not used to stir-frying.

"According to my appetite? Do you want me to come to your place to eat more?" Looking at Lu Ming's cheap smile, Chu Ying just wanted to wipe the black fingers drawn with charcoal on his face.

"Your taste is so tricky, the rich kids should also like to eat dishes that catch your eye." Qiu Li led a man in a rough green cloth robe to this side.

Although the scholar was dressed plainly, his eyes were clear and distant, his brows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were raised, "Are you the master of the study?"

Chu Ying put away the drawings, stood in front of the man, raised her heels slightly, but still only reached the man's chin. "Why don't you want to? Could it be that the head of the house should be an old man with a white beard who reads the words of the sages every day with a book in his hand?"

Gong Yunran smiled. This kid looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a delicate complexion full of childishness. If Nian Shu, the gatekeeper, hadn't brought him here, he would not have believed it. Such a large yard and so many books seem to have been created by the fathers.

"Is that so? I'm in Xiagong Yunran. I don't know how convenient the chief is now?" Chu Ying looked at Gong Yunran's beautiful face, and she was a little lost. At first glance, this person is not very eye-catching, but It gets uglier the more you look at it.

"You say."

Gong Yunran gave Chu Ying a wink, and looked at Lu Ming beside him. "This way please, the pansies and poppies in the north garden are blooming just right, let's talk as we walk."

Gong Yunran looked at Chu Ying who looked like an adult, she didn't look like a child who was supposed to be provocative just now, but now she looked serious.

"Don't go out with strangers casually, be careful that others will sell you." Lu Ming glanced up and down at Gong Yunran.

"Don't worry, I will be sold by others obediently, and I will help him count the money." Gong Yunran looked at Chu Ying who was joking, this childish look was full of inescapable childishness.

This Wanli Study Palace Yunran has not only come here once or twice, but has visited every small corner by himself. Although it used to be Yayuan, it inevitably has a certain powdery smell, but the furnishings and decorations here are relatively simple and elegant. None of the flowers are too bright.

"Tell me what you want." It's not that no one is looking for me these days, most of them are those who submit manuscripts and rent places to do business.But these years, Shu would bring Qiuli there, and this person was so mysterious that he didn't seem to be here to submit a manuscript.

"There is a large piece of open space to the west of Wanli Study that has not been paved in any way. Is the head of the studio useful for other purposes, or is it not being used for anything at the moment, or is he planning to rent it out?"

"What business do you want?"

Gong Yunran looked at Chu Ying, who was still young but had a clear view of things, "I don't do business, you should know about this new decree. A very good opportunity. There are many academies in this academy, but there are very few academic research related to current affairs. It is definitely not enough to study empty-handedly. I want to set up a lecture hall in that area, invite some Confucian scholars to give lectures, and then run a school it is also fine."

"What about the fee?"

"If running a school will be much cheaper than other schools, there is no charge for this lecture hall." Originally, Chu Ying thought about running a school. Although there are many schools in the city, most of them pay for the heads of various clans to teach the children of rich families. The fees of other schools are also quite expensive.

"Why do you want to do this, a scholar? The new inspection system has come out, why don't you go for an official position? It's much easier than running a school and worrying about it."

Gong Yunran raised the petals of the poppies and blew away the bugs, "If there are no cheaper schools, even with such a good policy, it will be difficult for some poor children to get good opportunities to study, and they will still not be able to get ahead. Head to the loess and back to the sky."

Chu Ying looked at Gong Yunran, although he had an outstanding temperament, but he didn't look like a child from a rich family in coarse clothes, "In my opinion, you don't look like you have too much spare money at home and have nowhere to spend it to do good things." Man, where do you have money to run a school? Where do you have money to rent my place?"

Gong Yunran smiled lightly, "As long as you are willing to rent, you don't have to worry about money. I will find a way to get them."

"What about the gentlemen in the lecture hall? Ordinary gentlemen don't have any insight even if they are willing to speak, and the gentlemen who have opinions hide themselves and are not very willing to come out to give lectures." Gong Yunran watched Chu Ying speak out many problems that needed to be solved. It seems that this kid has thought about running a school.

"As long as you want to do it, these are not a problem. Can you rent your yard to me? If the price is right, you can buy it. As far as I know, you only spent more than 30 taels for such a quick trip."

Chu Ying sat down on the stone bench and looked at the trickling stream beside the river, "I can rent it to you, but I thought you didn't have that much money at the beginning, and I'll charge one-third when there are students. Tuition fees, so you don’t have to worry about the rent, the land has nothing, and you must spend a lot of money to build a school, I can pay some money, what do you think?”

Gong Yunran thought about it for a while. She will receive one-third of the tuition fee, and she will share all the money she earns in the future. Although she does not run the school for the purpose of earning a lot of money, she will not receive a lot of money, but when the time comes, people This is a lot of money, but now it is really difficult for me to pay for the rent and the money for running the school.

It was okay to ask my father, but the moment I came out of the house, I swore not to ask the family for a penny. Gong Yunran must have spent a lot of money on this huge study, just the money per person. I don't know how long it will take to get back the money, and this chief is not a profit-only person.

Chu Ying looked at Gong Yunran who was hesitant, "You go back and think about it before you come again." Doing business is not doing charity, but you can use the method of doing business to do charity. It is impossible for Chu Ying not to give any money back. This Gong Yunran is a school.

Part of the money collected will naturally be used to offset the initial investment in building the school, and the rest can be used for scholarships, school repairs, and the provision of books and materials.

Gong Yunran looked at Chu Ying who had shaken her robe and was about to go back, "Don't think about it."
