Chapter 53 Admissions
"Have you heard that the vision that appeared in Chang'an City a few days ago is actually a flying experiment conducted by Gewuyuan?"

"What is Gewuyuan?"

"I'm not sure. I heard that it was newly established by His Majesty. It's just to the south of the city. The abandoned guardhouse that used to be is now magnificent and guarded by heavy soldiers."

"Is it that powerful?"

"What do you think, Fei Tian, ​​you think it's the same as making wontons!"

"What's wrong with me making wontons, what's wrong with my making wontons, Chen San, you have no conscience, if it weren't for my mother making wontons, how would you have the money to let you eat and drink! The baby will soon be at the age of elementary school, and you are not good Find a job to do, idle around with Wang Si all day long, and sooner or later, like him, you won’t even be able to eat, and the cost of finding an elementary school in Chang’an City is not low, how can I make wontons alone!”

The woman who was making wontons got angry when she heard this, she rolled up her sleeves and grabbed the man's ears with hands dipped in flour, and began to rebuke.

"Hey! Don't pull me, lady, I just found out some good news." The man begged for mercy when his ears were pulled.

"What good news?"

"Gewuyuan recruits folk men who dig stones. If they dig a basket of stones a day, they will get [-] Wen to pay for their food. Wang Si went there yesterday."

The woman put down her hands and said suspiciously: "Is there such a good thing? Eighty Wen a day is still in charge of food, just dig a basket of stones?"

The man took the opportunity to rub his ears and smiled flatteringly: "This is absolutely true, the money will be distributed on the same day, and Wang Si has already received [-] Wen."

When the woman heard this, she patted her flour-soaked hands and urged, "Then why don't you hurry up, and you won't have your share if it's too late. Eighty Wen a day, how much is a month?"

"Mother, it's [-] wen a month." A chubby five or six-year-old poked his head out from behind the woman.

The woman squatted down and pampered the little chubby baby's face and smiled, "It's still our oldest boy who is smart, [-] Wen a month, plus the money I earned from wrapping wontons, is almost enough for my education." .”

Seeing the man still standing aside, the woman stared and said, "Hurry up! People like Wang Si can be recruited and you can do it."

The man scratched his head and said, "Actually, I have one more thing to say."

"What else?"

"The Nage Academy posted a notice today, saying that it is going to recruit students. Not only does it not charge tuition fees, but it also takes care of meals. I wonder if our eldest child should also go to study there."

The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then she didn't believe it: "You don't charge tuition fees, but you still take care of the food? Is there such a school? Don't be fooling people, our family will have a big future when we grow up."

"Gewuyuan was set up by His Majesty himself, how can you fool people, besides, even His Majesty's three little princes are studying in Gewuyuan, you said that if our eldest son also goes to Gewuyuan to study, how can he not have a great future? .”

"Your Majesty's three little princes are also studying in the Gewu Academy? What kind of academy is this? Can our eldest child do it?" Hearing what the man said, the woman began to lose confidence in her children again.

"Okay, definitely. I heard that the Gewu Academy gives priority to recruiting students who are proficient in mathematics. Our eldest child's arithmetic is even praised by the accountant of Linji Pharmacy. It must be no problem to study in Gewu Academy!"

Hearing what the man said, she was sure that the woman immediately said happily: "Then what are you waiting for, take the eldest child there quickly! By the way, you have to dig rocks there, and you can't be worse than Wang Si."

……

Such a scene was staged in every corner of Chang'an City. The most talked about was the Gewuyuan, the Feitian experiment, the recruitment of folk men who dig stones at [-] Wen a day, and the fact that recruiting students does not need to pay tuition fees and take care of the food. A while ago, there was an uproar about Wang Zixin in Chang'an City.First, the Jinguang Lake Poetry Association was a blockbuster, and then Quyuanli was created. A while ago, the limelight of Dengxianlou's opening has not passed, and now a Gewuyuan has been established and it has achieved feats such as Feitian. Although everyone now knows the so-called alien The elephant is actually a flying rooster, but it's still quite a feat.

Wang Xiang has become a veritable man of the city in Chang'an, and the old Chen Haobai, Ma Wenxin and his like can no longer be compared with him.

Of course, those who are really willing to send their children to Gewuyuan are ordinary people, and some families even come here just for free tuition and meals. The real rich families naturally look down on places like Gewuyuan.

Wang Xiang didn't care, what he wanted was a smart and studious student, not a proud second-generation ancestor.

Naturally, Li Er agreed to recruit students from Gewuyuan. After learning that the vision was the flying experiment of Gewuyuan, Li Er agreed to Wang Xiang's enrollment plan on the spot, and Li Zhi and his three little ghosts were the operators of this experiment. They were very excited to be highly praised by Li Er, and they became more enthusiastic about Gewuxue.

It was beyond Wang Xiang's expectation that Li Chunfeng stayed in Gewuyuan, but it was indeed a lot easier for Wang Xiang to have him here.

Today is the enrollment day of Gewuyuan. Li Zhi and the others have no time to take care of these matters. They are busy preparing for the next flying experiment, so the matter of enrollment falls on Li Chunfeng's head.

Looking at the swarming crowd, Li Chunfeng couldn't help but think of Yuan Tiangang's words: "This person may be able to create a new school." Although those who came to sign up were all children from ordinary families, who can guarantee that a few years later, among them There will not be a few shining stars.

There are also those folks who hired to dig stones. Li Chunfeng finally knew what the stones he dug were for, but now he still can't believe that stones can be turned into colored glaze. If Li Er hadn't personally asked the glass maker He really can't believe that there is actually something that can turn metal into gold in this world.

Now staying in Gewuyuan, instead of complaining at all, he is full of curiosity about Wang Xiang and his Gewuxue, and what kind of changes this Wang Zixin, who should have died long ago, will bring to Datang.

"grown ups?"

Chen San took the elder boy by the hand and came to Li Chunfeng and called out in a low voice.

Li Chunfeng woke up from his thoughts, glanced at Chen San who was a little shy, and asked lightly: "But you brought your child to study in Gewuyuan?"

"Yes, yes." Chen San nodded quickly in agreement.

"Can you write?"

"will not."

Chen San didn't know whether Li Chunfeng was asking about himself or the eldest child, but neither of them knew how to write.

Seeing Li Chunfeng shaking his head slightly, Chen San said hastily: "My eldest son is good at arithmetic, even the accountant of Linji Pharmacy praised him."

Li Chunfeng was a little surprised when he heard the words. The child Chen San was leading seemed to be only five or six years old, and it was a strange thing that he could not write but knew how to do arithmetic. He said softly to the eldest child, "What's your name?"

"Big baby." The child seemed not afraid of life at all, and looked at Li Chunfeng with a pair of big eyes.

"I heard that you are good at arithmetic, how about I test you?"

The eldest child tilted his head and thought for a while and asked, "Is there any reward for passing? Accountant Hu will reward me with snacks every time I take the exam."

Li Chunfeng laughed dumbfounded: "Okay, if you pass, you can eat as much as you want."

Li Chunfeng, who was only five or six years old, didn't have any problems. They were all the simplest math problems, but every time Li Chunfeng asked the big boy, he could answer them straight away.

The more Li Chunfeng asked, the more surprised he became. The difficulty of the question gradually deepened, but the eldest child was still able to answer it straight away. There were more and more people onlookers. Chen San felt radiant when he saw his son showing off, and his back straightened up. Not a lot.

Soon Wang Xiang also noticed the movement here. Seeing that Li Chunfeng and Dawa had answered all the questions and answers without mistakes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he found a little child prodigy!

"This kid recorded it!"

Li Chunfeng only reacted when he heard Wang Xiang's voice behind him. The questions he asked were far beyond what ordinary children could answer, but the eldest child answered them all. Go to the heavenly supervisor.

Wang Xiang was in a great mood to have such a little child prodigy. After asking, he found out that the eldest child had only a nickname and no real name, so he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Let's call him Daqi, I hope this child will become a great talent in the future."

Chen San was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly pulled the eldest child to salute Wang Xiang: "Thank you for your name!"

Daqi, Chen Daqi, what a wonderful name, the most important thing is that this name was bestowed by the judge of the Gewuyuan. Children from ordinary people's families don't get such treatment.

Li Chunfeng picked up a quill pen and wrote the words "Chen Daqi" on the paper, and Dawa officially became a student of Gewuyuan.

"In view of Chen Daqi's excellent performance in the entrance examination, the Gewu Institute decided to award him an entrance scholarship of [-] yuan."

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd exploded. Even Li Chunfeng was a little surprised. What is a scholarship?There is no tuition fee for studying, and it’s okay to take care of the food, but now they even get a scholarship of [-] yuan. Could it be that the Gewu Academy really has so much money that there is no place to spend it?
Wang Xiang stretched out his hand to suppress everyone's discussion and continued: "Gewu Academy will implement a scholarship system in the future, and will formulate special reward standards later, but those who have excellent entrance examination scores can get a one-time admission scholarship of [-] Wen, and Gewu Academy Every month, the students with the best academic performance and the most improved students will be awarded scholarships."

"Is there a scholarship every month?" Everyone's discussion became more intense.

The reason why Wang Xiang came up with such an idea is entirely because of the inspiration brought to him by Chen Daqi. No matter in what era, talents are always the most precious resource. He believes that starting tomorrow, more people will bring their children to participate in Gewu Academy The entrance exam, maybe you can find more talents like Chen Daqi by then.

Of course, this move is not only aimed at the recruited students, Wang Xiang also intends to develop a comprehensive contribution system in Gewuyuan, as long as he makes a contribution to Gewuyuan, he will receive corresponding rewards. developed at a fast pace.

Originally, he just wanted to find a place for firing glass, but now Wang Xiang has an inexplicable emotion for Gewuyuan. He wants to see Gewuxue take root in Datang, blossom and bear fruit.
