Chapter 27 Lost, lost!

Taking over the academy from another country's spies was risky, but Song Yanjin made the right bet, and the good aunt, the eldest princess, really protected her.

There is no free lunch in the world. When Xia Yunheng transferred from the Imperial College across the street, she knew what the price was.

Song Yanjin lured his little cousin with shares in the academy, and the academy was completely linked to the eldest princess, and it was considered to have gained a firm foothold in the capital.

The appeal of the little cousin will surely attract many students. The only thing that hurts Song Yanjin is the money!

The academy needs to hire teachers, open a canteen, and hire a manager.

She plans to set up administration, finance, and public relations according to the modern training class model.

Money! Money! Everything costs money!

Song Yanjin has been worried about money for the past few days. The refugees are outside the city, and the capital can only leave but not enter. She can't go to the mountains to find medicinal herbs. The prices in the city are high, and she even wants to sell the rice in the warehouse.

When I picked up my chopsticks to eat, I saw the meat in the bowl. This piece of meat might sell for ten taels outside, right?

"Why isn't Sister Song eating?" Xiao Ruan held the bowl and looked at Bai Zhu in confusion, seeking an answer.

Bai Zhu glanced at Xia Yunheng who was eating opposite him and said, "Miss, you are short of money. Yesterday, the prince recruited eight bad students."

He gestured with four fingers and said, "The young lady paid four hundred taels of silver at once."

Xiao Ruan's heart dropped, thinking it was something serious. "Sister Song, how much more silver do you need?"

When Song Yanjin heard about money, her eyes lit up and she tried to ask, "Brother, do you have money to lend to me?"

Xiao Ruan scratched her head embarrassedly, "I started buying houses when I was fifteen, and I made a lot of money from the difference in the price. Now I eat and drink here every day, which is quite embarrassing. Sister Song, please tell me how much you want."

Song Yanjin carefully calculated the expenses of the academy last night. The academy cannot be maintained without five thousand taels. Knowing that Xiao Ruan is in a difficult situation, he said two thousand taels is a reasonable amount.

"Hai~I thought it was that much." Xiao Ruan took off the shoulder bag embroidered with Qingyun Academy, which she got when she was with Sister Song. She took out a stack of silver bills from it, counted out two thousand taels and handed it to Sister Song.

"." Song Yanjin, Bai Zhu and Xia Yunheng who were sitting at the same table were silent. Who would just put such a large stack of banknotes in a shoulder bag without being afraid of being snatched away?

Song Yanjin called Baizhu, "Go get some pen and ink. I need to write an IOU to Xiaoruan."

This child has helped a lot since coming to Beijing, and now he is providing timely assistance. I really don't know how to thank him.

"Xiao Ruan, I don't know how to thank you." Song Yanjin was a little embarrassed. "Then come here to eat when you have nothing to do in the future. I will treat you to delicious food."

Xia Yunheng refused to give in. He put down his bowl and took out a stack of banknotes. "Cousin, this is my meal money from now on. I want to eat here too."

If the yard wasn't so small, he would want to live here.

Strangely enough, I have been following my cousin to recruit students these days. The fun is self-evident. I am either chased by a dog or chased by a big stick! But every day I have food that is more delicious than Zuixianlou, and I feel very satisfied.

Song Yanjin took the money from his cousin without hesitation, "You eat so much, you should pay for it."

Xia Yunheng: "."

Xiao Ruan could barely read and didn't want the IOU, but he couldn't refuse.

After dinner, the little cousin took his guards and eunuchs back to the princess's mansion, and Xiao Ruan left right after him.

Song Yanjin wrote two thick letters, one to Su Hezhi in Song County and the other to Ge Caizi in Lin'an City.

Both of them are masters that Song Yanjin feels he is quite compatible with in the biographies of the characters in the Xia Dynasty data collected by the system.

Su Hezhi, in his forties, was born in Song County. He was a top scholar in the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty. He lost two fingers on his hand that he used to catch fish. If he had not been at ease, he would still be shining in the court with his talent.

Ge Caizi is now a juren, and he has been through more than 30 trials. In the end, he passed the exam, but he was tired of officialdom. He only passed the exam when he was almost old, and the court would definitely not let him entrust important tasks. It would be better for him to take a high-reward salary, which would allow him to support his family and teach people.

Due to the drought at the moment, she couldn't get into the capital. She could forgive her for not being able to visit and invite him, but the letter was full of sincerity. She catered to the other party's interests and threw out the controversial topic in the policy essay. One purpose was to prove her own talent, and the other was to attract people to the capital.

With my little cousin, the prince, here, if I say a few nice words to him, the boy will rush to the city gate to meet him, and the soldiers guarding the gate will let him in obediently, right?

Song Yanjin arrived at the academy early the next morning, gave the letter to Xiao Ruan, and asked him to use his connections to send it out of the city.

Bai Zhu was in the lounge, helping the young lady sort out the books for the class she would be teaching later. She shook her head helplessly, feeling really worried about the young lady.

The dandy prince recruited people of the same kind, including a bully in the capital. Except for the two who signed up voluntarily, none of the others were determined to take the imperial examination. The young lady also kept her promise and paid the prince four hundred taels of silver.

Eh~ I lost, I lost!

Song Yanjin took the books and went to the first floor to the sprint class. Currently, there were eleven students who had signed up voluntarily and those recruited by her younger cousin. And they would all take the autumn exam in more than a month. To her, these people were just going through the motions to please their families.

For Song Yanjin, more than a month was enough time. Before she traveled through time, she was a well-known lecturer in the contemporary civil service examination field, and her live course on application essay had received hundreds of millions of hits on Bilibili.

After buying the academy, she made reforms. As the academy is currently in a downturn, she will focus on the autumn examination and offer sprint, crash course, and time-effective classes.

After the autumn examination, if there are a few promising candidates, no matter how many, as long as three of them pass the exam, the academy will have students sign up for admission.

Take your time, take your time...

Having the intention to teach and not having the intention to learn are two completely different things. You see,

Sitting at the desk in the back row with two strands of dragon whisker hair hanging on his forehead is Gu Jiajing, Xia Yunheng's lifelong friend, nicknamed the Little Overlord of Beijing.

The few people in the middle who were dressed simply were inconspicuous illegitimate sons of aristocratic families. They were all the lackeys who tried to curry favor with Xia Yunheng and Gu Jiajing.

No one dared to send in a true young master from an aristocratic family.

There was a girl sitting alone in the first row. She was the first one to register for admission to the academy, and Song Yanjin was very fond of this girl.

Xia Yange was once the number one fan girl of Song Yanjin when he was teaching girls in the girls' class of Lishan Academy.

Born to the deceased wife of the prefect of Lin'an City, she is Su Lingshu's biological sister. Her parents have a bad relationship and her mother insisted that her daughter take her mother's surname. Her mother's family is the third and most favored daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. Xia Yange came to Beijing early before the drought.

Sit wherever you want in the empty classroom. Xia Yunheng sat in the first row so that he could make fun of his cousin!

Bai Zhu distributed the test papers to each student. When she came back, she almost tripped over Gu Jiajing's outstretched legs. She turned around and glared at him fiercely.

"Hey~ The little girl is so fierce~" Gu Jiajing teased with a gangster tone.

Song Yanjin pointed the ruler in his hand at him, "Gu Jiajing, shut up."

Xia Yunheng in the front row bared his teeth, hehe, my cousin is losing her temper.

"Shut up, and you won't have to take the imperial examination." Song Yanjin used the ruler in his hand that he didn't use to hit Gu Jiajing to hit him, and he didn't have the nerve to smile.
