Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

Chapter 135: Imperial Family

The clan leader found Si Mo among the clan members. The study was ready. Someone in the clan went out, and the rest of the people in the room gathered around. Wang Jinyi thought for a moment:

"The terms I mentioned are in no particular order, so we can adjust them later. The first one is that the proportion of my money for printing the storybook will remain unchanged.

Secondly, I want to set up a scholarship, whether it is a poor student or a child of the Wang family, everyone can get this money. I also want to help those Wangs whose families are not well off and who have no money to study..."

Just as she said this, Wang Jinyi felt her brother pulling her hand hard. Wang Jinyi turned her head to look at her brother who had a serious expression on his face.

"The palace pays for the education of the Wang family. No one can't afford to study. Don't be ridiculous!"

Wang Jinyi stared with her big furry eyes, looking at her grandfather and the middle-aged man's face, and smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Then help poor students from other families and reward outstanding students from our own family..." The elder brother tugged at Wang Jinyi's sleeve again.

"Ah? You have this too?"

"Each clan in the clan rewards its own outstanding children. The award for boys is called the "Chongwen Award" and the award for girls is called the "Xiaodi Award". This has been around for a long time!"

"Oh, there is one more. Let's change it. Men and women of the Wang clan who have made contributions have an opportunity to get together and help each other. Is this still possible?"

Grandfather asked:

"What do you mean by saying this?"

The clan leader also became curious:

"Tell me more specifically. The more detailed the better."

"For example, in Xunyang City, gather all the Wang family members who have made contributions to the clan together. Every two or three days, everyone can keep in touch with each other and help each other..."

Before Wang Jinyi could finish, his grandfather immediately raised his voice:

"No, we can't do this! This is our hometown party. I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives will have the opportunity to take advantage of it, slander and defame us. We can't do this!"

Grandfather sternly rejected it.

"Oh, is it so?"

It is difficult for people who were born in the previous life to understand this... Wang Jinyi suddenly felt a sense of acclimatization.

"Forget about that. Let's cooperate with local governments to run schools, such as county schools and township schools. Is that okay?"

Because I was not used to the local climate just now, I finished speaking this time and observed everyone's reactions.

"This involves too many things. There are many things to be done, such as funding, local policies, school approval, and procedural approval. In addition, it involves many officials and management personnel, and many things are not easy to handle.

Let's talk about investment. What is the investment ratio? How to invest? What is the investment period? These are all difficult to implement..."

"Master, then change another one and we'll set a policy!"

"What?" "What is it?"

My grandfather, the clan leader, and the crowd of onlookers all questioned this new term.

Brother Wang Wendong quickly protected his sister and stood half a step in front of her.

"She is still young, so please bear with me if I say anything wrong, elders!"

Wang Jinyi clenched her two little hands and pursed her lips tightly. Oh! I told you to talk nonsense. You are talking nonsense! After thinking for a while, she poked her head out from her brother's side, raised her face and said:

"Then make a rule to subsidize scholars who are unable to continue their studies in some special places and set up private schools. I will provide support and partial investment, and then recover the investment within a few years."

Seeing everyone looking at each other innocently, Wang Jinyi felt that since he had said it, he had to make it clear whether it would succeed or not. At least his brother didn't pull him this time. Wang Wendong spoke at the right time:

"Jin'er, it will be clear if I give you an example. Give me an example."

Oh, yes, that's it.

"Clan leader, it's the money I paid. My grandfather was an old scholar in the mountains. His family was not well off, so we found him and asked him, well, my grandfather's family must be poor and have no other livelihood or ability.

Zongzhang, you can send someone to his house to ask him, do you want to run a private school? You think he has no house and no funds, so I will help him build two rooms for him, so that he can run a private school.

Oh, we can build one first, or two if necessary. Oh, we need to send someone to investigate how big it should be and how many students it should accommodate, and then we can help.

For example, if there are 10 students here, we can build a classroom for 20 people, that's it.

If 10 people from his school pass the Tongsheng exam within 20 years, he won't have to pay me back, is that okay?"

Wang Jinyi bit one finger in her mouth and held her brother tightly with the other hand. She didn't know if she had said something wrong this time, or what the reaction might be. She stared at everyone in front of her, waiting for their reaction.

The clan leader, his wife, the junior clan leader, and the grandfather were all silent. Only Wang Wendong whispered in his sister's ear:

"Don't be afraid, just speak out your ideas, and the adults will consider the rest. I think what Jin'er said is very good and correct. Is there anything else? Go ahead! Speak."

Wang Jinyi turned her head and looked at her brother with great gratitude, who was protecting her for no reason. This kind of silent trust that came from blood was really touching!

Encouraged by this, Wang Jinyi thought, since he had already said it, what else was there to hide? Just tell me:

"There is another way. We can also set up a private school for the children of low-ranking officers and generals at the border. We can use the royal family's status to set up a private school, and have people from the royal family teach them to read for free. If they pass the examination for Tongsheng, we will introduce them to the school invested by the royal family for further study. I will pay for the tuition and deduct it from the printing fee!"

Wang Jinyi's eyes rolled around and looked at everyone. This time no one objected or said anything. She looked at her brother again, and her brother didn't say anything either.

After a moment of silence, my grandfather spoke first:

"This is more practical than running a county. However, the clan will probably need to send a group of people to do the preliminary investigation. It is better to collect the initial investment funds, otherwise some people will think of it in a wrong way, and the court will not suspect it.

As for border affairs, we need to be relatively more careful. If we do it well, it's fine. But if we don't, we may be implicated. It would be best to find local scholars to cooperate with us, and then the clan can pay for it.

After you pass the Tongsheng exam, you can help pay for the tuition. This is also acceptable.”

The grandfather looked at his granddaughter, trying his best to help the child implement his unrealistic ideas and explain them clearly to everyone.

The clan leader nodded slowly and meaningfully.

"We need to discuss this matter with the clan leaders and elders to see what to do."

The clan leader took something out of his sleeve pocket, spread out his palm, and placed it in front of Wang Jinyi.

"This is for you to encourage you to strive to 'promote the reputation of the Wang family's ancestors'. You must work hard in the future!"

Wang Jinyi still had one of her little hands held tightly by her brother, with the other hand in her mouth.
