Chen Su was not afraid of his threat at all. He glanced back at Cao Qi coldly and said sarcastically: "The original intention of the reward is to encourage academy students to study hard and make newer and more advanced inventions and creations. This is knowledge, isn't it? Can it be compared with a mere amount of money?”
"Hahaha, you admitted it yourself and you still want to make excuses!" Cao Qi did not expect that Chen Su would admit so generously.
Chen Su looked at him very calmly and chuckled: "Don't call you so noble. The reason why you are so angry about this is because you can't eat sour grapes, right? I believe that if the Imperial College has such a If it were a reward, I’m afraid you would have clapped your hands and celebrated!”
Cao Qi's expression was startled and kept changing. He was struck by Chen Su's words. The reason why he suddenly burst out just now was because of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Three hundred thousand dollars! ! !
That's a reward of 300,000 yuan! Even if a person can only get a hundred thousand guan at most, that is what countless people dream of.
Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, how many people can earn a net worth of 100,000 yuan in their lifetime? Anyway, Cao Qi doesn't think he can earn a net worth of 100,000 yuan in his life.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Cao Qi to admit this in front of Chen Su.
"We, the scholars, should take it as our duty to help the world and save the people from fire and water. Only your academy talks about money, which is shameful."
"Ah, yes, yes!" Chen Su nodded quickly, and then said with a serious look: "Since you don't talk about money, what does the academy's reward have to do with you? In other words, you are pretending to be noble, but in fact, you are really wishing for it. Is this reward from your Imperial College?"
"you!
"Cao Qi's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth as he stared at Chen Su. But after a moment, he couldn't find a reason to refute.
"Let's go!" With a loud shout, Cao Qi angrily flicked his sleeves and strode away.
The other Imperial Academy students who were staying with Cao Qi got up and left directly. They didn't have the courage of Cao Qi to confront Chen Su directly.
But even if they dared, they would only be humiliating themselves. Even Cao Qi is not Chen Su's opponent, let alone them?
"Hahaha......"
As soon as Cao Qi and others left, the people in the wine shop burst into laughter.
Because the ethos of the academy and the Imperial College are completely different, the temperaments of the students on both sides are also completely different. The students of the Imperial College regarded themselves very highly. They believed that they were superior scholars, and they always had a condescending attitude towards the common people.
In the past, people not only had no dissatisfaction with this, but were even envious. Scholars thought that they had a great chance of becoming an official, and even if they were unable to become an official, they would still be supported by the court and receive tax exemptions and exemptions, and they would still have food and drink even if they did not work in production for the rest of their lives.
But since the establishment of the academy, this situation has slowly changed.
The academy encourages students to be down-to-earth and immerse themselves in the common people. Firstly, it is to expand the influence of the academy. After all, at the beginning, the reputation of the Academy in the hearts of the people was far less than that of the Imperial College. If it is still as high as the Imperial College, then when will it catch up to or even surpass the Imperial College?
Secondly, the academies are also worried that students will fall into closed doors and encourage them to go to the private sector.
Judging from the current results, the academy’s decision is undoubtedly
is correct.
The academy students lowered their posture and talked with the people, and they were naturally welcomed by the people. Because for the common people, knowledge is sacred, and they are also very curious about places like the academy. Now there are people who are willing to talk to them about this. If nothing else, just learning something and bragging to others can make all the people flock to them.
What's more, common people also have children! Although they don't understand academic matters, they are also eager to know how well their children are learning, or whether they have the talent to read.
At this time, as long as the students of the academy say a few words of praise for their children, it is difficult to think whether they will be welcomed by the people!
Nowadays, the academy students have long been mingling with the common people, and they walked away when they saw Chen Su arguing with Cao Qi.
Someone laughed and echoed: "Mr. Chen is indeed a talented person in the academy. He made that man run away with just a few words. He really made us feel bad!"
"That is, if we are drinking and chatting here, what does it have to do with him? He is not an official yet, but he wants to start controlling us..."
Others saw that this man spoke so confidently, as if they didn't take Cao Qi seriously at all. They cursed secretly in their hearts, you, the sixth child, didn't you act so unscrupulously just because you saw Mr. Chen supporting you?
Why didn't I see you come forward when Cao Qi was still there just now?
Cao Qi knew that he was no match for Chen Su in terms of talents, so he left in a hurry to avoid humiliating himself if he continued. But this does not mean that Cao Qi will give up. After returning to the Imperial College, he found the sacrificial wine and filed a complaint.
One status of the hospital.
Li Shou, who was offering wine at the Imperial Academy, had been working hard to compete with the academy, and even beat the academy. Naturally, he was even more unwilling to give up.
It was he and the emperor who argued hard that the quota for imperial examinations for Jinshi was divided into two, with the Imperial College and the Academy each occupying half.
Before that, almost 90% of the imperial examination academies received the imperial examinations.
It was also through this incident that Li Shou's reputation in the Imperial College was extremely high, almost reaching its peak in history. What do the students who come to the Imperial College want to study hard? no!
After ten years of hard work, what they dreamed of was to be a high-ranking official, to ride a fine horse, to have a beautiful wife and a beautiful family, and to have thousands of mansions. And to get these, they must become a high school Jinshi.
It is conceivable that Li Shou's move gave people who had no hope of passing the Jinshi examination suddenly had hope of high school. Li Shou is simply more important to the students of the Imperial Academy than their reborn parents.
In the Imperial College, Li Shou could keep his word and no one would dare to object.
...
"Your Majesty, Li Jijiu is here." The eunuch didn't like the always rigid Li Jijiu, because every time he saw Li Shou, Li Shou would look at him with a straight face and a look of contempt.
But the eunuch also knew that Mr. Li now had a certain status in the emperor's heart, and he did not dare to offend him.
Zhu Yunye frowned, paused, and then said, "What is he here for?"
......ah! The eunuch looked at the emperor in surprise. He did not expect that the emperor would react like this. Judging by the situation, could it be that the emperor was starting to bother Li Shou?
"Li Jijiu seems to be angry..."
Angry, the eunuch didn't dare to ask...
...
Zhu Yunye thought for a moment, put down the memorial in his hand, and sighed: "Pass it on."
"yes."
