Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 159 Shu Xiu is a Big Problem
"Sounds very good." Elder Wang Daqi came back to his senses and boasted casually, but his eyes kept meeting with other people.

"Ding Shi, let's not say that three or five years are so far away. Right now, there are indeed a dozen children in the village who want to be enlightened. You know how difficult it is to study."

After receiving hints from the elders, the village head said, "It is indeed a good thing that you want to open a school, but many people in the village know the Three-Character Classic and Thousand-Character Classic you speak."

"Nine-nine formulas are familiar to almost every family. So..." the village chief expressed his expression but hesitated to speak after finishing speaking.

"As long as people who have been enlightened can know these things, and these are the knowledge to be learned in the enlightenment. There are people in every family who know it, but no one has the time to teach, otherwise there will be no problem of difficulty in reading."

After listening to the ambiguous words of the village chief, Ding Shitou pointed out a practical problem with a smile.

You know it, but you know it. Your next generation and future generations still don’t know it. If you want to learn it, you still have to spend a lot of money to teach it to your husband, right?

"You're right. If you want to learn, you still need to be taught by your teacher to be more at ease. Of course, it doesn't mean that you are knowledgeable. It's that the old scholar in Jiangxia Village has a reputation, and his training is also high."

"There is only such an old scholar who runs a school in a few nearby villages. If you don't go to him, you will have nowhere to study, and you can't afford to go to the city. You can open a school, as Li Qi said, it is a blessing for Nancun City."

"However, how do you keep this bundle of repairs? Everyone doesn't believe in your ability. They are afraid that you won't learn anything if you give them money. They are afraid that you won't accept if you give less, and they won't be able to pay you if you ask for a high price."

Knowing that what Ding Shitou said was the truth, the village chief expressed all his doubts in Qiqi Ai.

In the final analysis, as Jiang Huzi had the same doubts before, Shu Xiu was the big problem.

In a nutshell, everyone naturally does not want to pay a penny. When they have to pay, they naturally hope to pay as little as possible. If they want to pay money, they are afraid of losing money and not worth it, so they naturally hope for higher returns.

This is also a common problem since ancient times.

"I understand the concerns of the elders." Ding Shitou pursed his lips and made a bow, and then said seriously, "I heard that it is too expensive for old scholars to accept schoolchildren from other villages."

"The first season of enlightenment students is five taels of silver, and then three taels of silver. After three consecutive years of continuous learning, they only receive two taels of silver every quarter."

"Ding Shi is incomparable regardless of his age and qualifications, and Shu Xiu will naturally not compare himself to the old scholars." Ding Shitou couldn't help laughing secretly when he saw the surprised eyes of the old men.

She will not follow in the footsteps of others to repeat a path that can be compared.

Therefore, regardless of the training, the teaching must be different, so that people can't compare and can't be picky.At that time, as long as the students she teaches really make progress and do not delay their studies, it will be fine.

"If the village agrees, each family is willing to send the schoolchildren. Ding Shi plans to start accepting the schoolchildren on the first day of next month." She explained her fees, and everyone couldn't hide their excitement.

Because Ding Shitou's Shuxiu standard is that the first three months of enlightenment students are charged one tael of silver per month, even if it is calculated on a quarterly basis, it is only three taels, which is lower than that of old scholars.

This is not too much discount, the discount is later.

After the three-month child adaptation period and the rule-making period, only [-] yuan per month is required, which will remain unchanged for five years.

Five years later, they will face a second choice, which is what Ding Shitou said before, transfer to another school, drop out of school, and so on.

Ding Shitou also suggested that she is teaching the enlightenment class. No one will know what will happen after five years, and they can wait until five years later to discuss the solution.
