Uncle Sun thought for a while, and then said: "It must be five years."
Uncle Sun figured it out clearly that this year's examination was postponed for one year, and five years happened to be the time for two examinations. After these two examinations, if Hongyan Academy is really capable, it will naturally be re-established and restore its previous status. Glory.
If they can't stand up for five years, they may really not be able to go back to the past. In this way, they don't have to worry about it, so as not to hinder the future of the students.
And with no future in sight for five years, there may not be many students and teachers in the academy.
Li Lindao: "That's five years."
The Sun family's eyes lit up, and Second Master Sun asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"I want to discuss it with the two people from Shiqiao Academy. Wait a minute, everyone." Li Lin took Dean Shi and Shi Chongshan to the room next door where Zhao Mingjing had classes on weekdays, and discussed the matter with them.
"Since Zhang Fuyin and others have come to persuade them, if they refuse again, it would be a little ignorant, but the scale of the expansion is still up to the Shi family to decide."
"In the matter of Hongyan Academy, although the Academy has made a mistake, it is not an unforgivable big mistake. It is just that they do not know people well, and the fault itself is not on them. So, it is not a bad idea to help them."
Shi Chongshan couldn't figure it out: "Jing Yuan, what do you mean by that?"
Li Lindao: "The future of the academy's expansion is unknown. If you invest too much money at once, if you can't recruit students in the future, you will lose your money. Why not just expand it and recruit one or two hundred more students."
"As for those students who want to enter Shiqiao Academy, they can enter through the exams given by the academy. The number of students returning to Yancheng must be several thousand, and one or two hundred students are nothing."
"In this way, our academy gets students with good qualifications, which will help us gain a reputation in the future. Those students who can't get in have to go back to Hongyan Academy to study. In fact, the teachers there are also good at teaching."
Dean Shi understood: "You mean that the academy can be expanded, but the scale doesn't need to be too large, and students from nearby areas can be recruited directly, but students from other places have to pass the academy's exams, and select 200 students based on merit. "
"And within five years, only so many students will be recruited, and the remaining students can return to Hongyan Academy. Hongyan Academy can regain its reputation in five years."
"That's right, these five years are just the time for Shiqiao Academy to wait and see. If Hongyan Academy is established, Shiqiao Academy will maintain its size, and everyone will be more relaxed and comfortable. There is nothing to do. If Hongyan Academy cannot be established, it will be expanded. That¡¯s the size.¡±
"When the time comes, Hongyan Academy will still not be able to open. Most of the students are willing to come to us. It is not impossible to build Shiqiao Academy into the next Hongyan Academy."
"However, in the past five years, the academy should also train a few students, which can be considered as a reputation, lest others say that Shiqiao Academy can't teach good students in the future."
"As for the shop promised by the Sun family, I suggest that the dean take it down. After all, the matter is also a convenience for the Sun family. If the Sun family is willing to give it to you, just accept it."
"In this way, if Hongyan Academy returns to the past, the shop will be very profitable. All the money can be used to subsidize the academy, and if there is any leftover, some can be distributed to the villagers."
"If Hongyan Academy can't get up, Shiqiao Academy will not lose money. When the time comes to expand the scale, the land in front of the academy can be used to build a few shops, and the money will not be bad."
Dean Shi rubbed his hands: "Jing Yuan's idea is good. I didn't agree with it before. Firstly, I was afraid that the son of our Shi family would not have an advantage. Second, I was afraid that if we invested too much money, the college would not be good in the future. That's not to say. Losing money, the third time I feel that there are too many things to do and too tiring.¡±
"If we have these five years as a buffer, we can advance, attack and retreat, and have nothing to lose."
"There is also that shop. If Hongyan Academy really fails, we can also get a sum of money in these five years, and we will have money to expand the academy in the future. If it really opens up, the shop will be there. There is a steady stream of money.¡±
Shi Chongshan also understood: "Not bad!"
Dean Shi said: "In that case, why not agree."
Shi Chongshan hesitated: "Should I tell my second brother?"
The second brother he was talking about was Second Aunt Shi's husband, the patriarch of the Shi family.
Dean Shi said: "No need, as long as it is beneficial to the Shi family, how can he not agree."
makes sense.
Shi Chongshan coughed lightly: "Then Jing Yuan, we went over to discuss this matter with the Sun family, and that's how we did it."
Li Lin nodded: "OK."
So the three of them returned to the tea room and exchanged terms with the Sun family. The shop was originally the condition given by the Sun family. As far as the Sun family is concerned, it is already pretty good.
When Hongyan Academy was at its best, there were a total of more than 3,000 students in the academy, no matter how big or small. Two hundred students are nothing.
As for the five years, the Sun family and Uncle Sun have similar ideas. If Hongyan Academy can't regain its reputation in five years, then it really won't be able to get up. It's useless to estimate how many more years, so let's count Alright.
However, in terms of the number of students of the same age, the Sun family also put forward a requirement that no more than 100 students who are over 16 years old can take the imperial examination that year.
Dean Shi also felt that it was almost done, so he agreed on the spot, and then both parties signed the deed, and Dean Shi got a land deed and house deed for a study in front of Hongyan Academy.
When the Sun family came over, they even prepared the land deed and house deed, and stamped it after leaving the Yamen. As long as Shiqiao Academy signed it, the shop would be theirs.
A group of people sent away the people of Hongyan Academy, and when they came back, Dean Shi, who was overjoyed, remembered something: "Speaking of which, the expansion of the Academy means that many students will come, but we never Where can I find Mr. Jing Yuan? By then, Jing Yuan will be gone too, and there will not be many of us left."
Shi Chongshan was stunned for a moment, and then counted the students in the academy. There were three of his age. Let's go, there are only three people left.
Li Lindao: "Don't worry about this matter. The few people who came with Zhang Fuyin earlier may have someone to recommend, but they can't find them. I will ask Qian Zhitong to find some for you."
Dean Shi and Shi Chongshan were relieved when they heard this. Dean Shi said with emotion: "Jing Yuan, you still know how to handle things. If it were us, we would never be able to figure out what's going on."
If they had followed what they thought, they would have rejected the expansion of the academy and guarded the one-third of an acre of land. How could they have thought of so much? Whether this matter is successful or not, it will have no harm to their academy.
Stone Bridge Academy has a bright future! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
