Chapter 151 People who want to learn

"Miss, can I ask you a favor?"

The innkeeper rubbed his hands, a little cautiously.

"Shopkeeper, please tell me."

"Are you teaching here?"

"Huh? Are you spying on me?"

The shopkeeper quickly denied, "No, it is impossible for our store to do such a thing. There is really a lot of noise here. I listened to a few words outside the door and I could barely tell that you were teaching."

"So what do you want?"

The shopkeeper said sheepishly, "Miss, can my child study with you?"

"Oh?" Jiang Yanming asked doubtfully, "Is the shopkeeper's child not old enough to study?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "They have long passed the school-appropriate age."

"Then why not..."

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "Miss, are you from out of town? The private schools in Qinghe County can only be afforded by wealthy families. I am just an innkeeper, so I can't afford them."

"Then why not send me to a government school? Government school is free, right?"

Beixuan State established official schools to provide learning opportunities for poor families who had no money to send their children to private schools.

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's face became even more bitter, "There is no quota."

"Quota?" Jiang Yanming was a little surprised, "Is there a quota for official schools?"

The official schools in Beixuan Kingdom should allocate quotas according to household registration. The quotas in each county are different according to the actual situation, and the quotas are also different.

"Other places may not need it, but Qinghe County does," the shopkeeper shook his head. "I don't know why, but there are always not enough places in the official school in Qinghe County. My eldest daughter has been waiting for three years and still can't get into the official school."

Jiang Yanming touched her chin and thought of the previous refugee problem. She seemed to have thought of something.

But the information was too vague and she couldn't analyze anything yet.

"Learn from me. Do you really trust me?"

Jiang Yanming asked.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Miss, although I don't know a few big words, I can understand the rules of disciples, sage's precepts, filial piety, filial piety, and faithfulness."

"Whoever can tell you such wise words must not be a bad person, right?"

Jiang Yanming felt a little guilty. What a coincidence, she really was leading evildoers.

"Don't worry, Miss, the reward will not be small." The shopkeeper said quickly.

"That's not the problem," Jiang Yanming waved her hand, "I won't be staying in Qinghe County for long, so do you still need to ask me to teach?"

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, "Of course. Even if I just learn the disciple rules from the lady, my children will benefit a lot."

"But," Jiang Yanming said, "there are too many people, so we have to find a place."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss, this is not a problem, just leave it to me."

"Okay," Jiang Yanming nodded in agreement, "Bring your child over tomorrow."

It’s okay to bring four, and it won’t be a big problem to bring a few more.

More than this, what Jiang Yanming wants to know now is the problem behind Qinghe County.

I don’t know how well those three brats checked out the information.

…

"Old Bai, how's it going?"

The man in ragged clothes shook the broken fan in his hand, "As I said, I am not a commoner, Bai Xiaosheng is my nickname."

Bai Yi said perfunctorily, "It's all the same, it's all the same."

Bai Xiaosheng muttered helplessly, "It's terrible to be uneducated."

These little guys didn't know where they got a large sum of money, so they approached him and asked him to help find out the number of refugees in Qinghe County.

This matter was not difficult for him as the intelligence chief, and he did not want to find out who wanted to know such a thing.

He is just an information seller, and he is not willing to get involved in such a big matter.

Mainly because these three brats gave him too much, five hundred taels of silver, which was enough for him to spend a month.

"Who are you saying is uneducated?" Bai Yiyi pointed his ears and heard Bai Xiaosheng's murmur clearly, "I tell you, we have read books now."

"Oh?" Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, "What books have you read? Tell me."

He simply didn't believe that these three bastards could study. Previously, the three of them forced a white-haired girl to beg for them.

With the temperaments of these three brats, even if they had money, they would not go to school.

"Disciple's rules, sage's training..."

Bai Yi shook his head and memorized the few things Jiang Yanming taught him, but with his ability he could only memorize a very small part.

However, although the content was very small, it shocked Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng calls himself Bai Xiaosheng because he possesses a large amount of information that ordinary people cannot access.

He can be friends with all the beggars and street children in Qinghe County, and some of the information he can get from chatting with these people is even worth thousands of gold.

However, he had never read a book at all and only knew a few big characters.

However, he was able to understand what he heard from these three brats without any problems!

"Where did you learn it?"

Bai Xiaosheng said excitedly.

"What are you going to do?" Bai Yi asked warily.

Bai Xiaosheng realized his gaffe and quickly suppressed his excitement, "I'm just asking, you three bastards can read and write. What a magical person it is to teach you."

"I can't tell you this," Bai Er shook his head, "Bai Xiaosheng, feel free to go check out the information we want."

After Sanbai left, Bai Xiaosheng sneered, "Three little brats, do you really think I can't do anything?"

He is Qinghe Baixiaosheng, there is nothing in Qinghe County that he does not know.

This teacher, he must learn from him!

After Sanbai left Bai Xiaosheng's place, he went to several places.

They understand well that eggs cannot be put in one basket, so while asking Bai Xiaosheng for help, they themselves are also spreading the news.

Unable to resist Bai Yi's show-off character, many people also knew that San Bai learned to read and write from a teacher.

Among them, there was a young man who was the same as Sanbai, with a strange light shining in his eyes.

…

In the evening, brothers Ji Hongsu and Ji Xingyun came back, but Jiang Yunxian did not come back.

"The problems in Qinghe County are not small."

Ji Hongsu came to this conclusion, "If I hadn't gone there personally, I would not have known that the prosperous Qinghe County has so many problems."

Jiang Yanming told Ji Hongsu the news he heard from the shopkeeper today. Ji Hongsu looked thoughtful after listening to it.

"Is that so? Official school quotas are issued based on household registration. However, the actual population of Qinghe County is much larger than the household registration population, which means..."

Ji Xingyun followed up Ji Hongsu's words, "Many people from Qinghe County who were supposed to get places in official schools had their places taken up by people who were not registered in Qinghe County."

"There is indeed a problem," Jiang Yanming rubbed her head. She hated this kind of plot that required brains.

"Where's my sister?"

Ji Hongsu glanced at Jiang Yanming and said, "She won't be back today. I will go over to be with her tomorrow night."

Jiang Yanming nodded, "I understand."

It seems that Jueminglou will disappear tomorrow night.
