Extra Chapter 13 The Extremely Wealthy Zhenglu Academy

Shu Yu greeted Yuangui Kang Shuxian and asked about the situation of the team.

Yuan Gui approached the carriage, shook hands with Xiao Mianmian who stuck out her little head, and then said, "Everything is ready. This time we have to deliver goods to the capital and Changjin Mansion. There are more people in the convoy. We walk slowly on the road. We won’t speed up until we pass Changjin Mansion.”

Shu Yu nodded, "It's okay, we are not in a hurry."

While the two were talking, Meng Yuncheng got off the carriage and walked towards the middle of the motorcade with Mianmian in his arms.

Walking behind one of the old men, he put Mianmian down and said, "Mr. He Jiang."

Mr. He Jiang turned his back to Meng Yunzheng and turned around when he heard the voice. He first smiled at Mianmian and gave her a grasshopper in his hand, and then nodded to Meng Yunzheng, "There are a lot of people on this trip, so the convoy will be tired. All my brothers."

Meng Yunzheng smiled and said, "Their extra wages are all allocated by the accounting office of the academy."

Mr. Hejiang glanced sideways at him and said, "According to the Chief, our academy is quite wealthy."

Meng Yunzheng, "My wife is a businessman, and I am half a businessman."

Mr. Hejiang, "..." Aren't you a businessman?

A large vegetable field at the foot of the mountain belongs to the academy, and the students of the academy grow their own vegetables. There is a large area behind the academy that is fenced off for raising livestock, and experienced farmers are specially invited to teach them, so that the livestock in the backyard grow fat and strong, better than those bought outside.

Didn’t you see that the guys in Lu County’s main workshop went out of their way to buy from them?

There are also families of students who rent houses at the foot of the mountain. They are all wealthy people. In order not to treat their children and themselves badly, they also try their best to buy meat and vegetables.

Of course, many parents protested against this, but no one could argue with Meng Yunzheng's eloquent words. He had already said that the imperial court had a farm holiday, which showed that even the imperial court supported the development of farming. Why? Can’t work in the fields anymore?

Besides, when taking the imperial examination, there will often be questions about agriculture. If you don’t participate in it personally, how can you understand it in depth? What's more, Meng Yunzheng went to work in the fields himself to prove that he, the number one scholar who passed the sixth grade, was trained in this way.

Good guy, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Huai'an were all deeply convinced by him.

As a result, Zhenglu Academy had its first income.

Later, Meng Yunzheng also developed handicrafts. For example, the grasshoppers made by Mr. He Jiang just now were learned in handicraft classes... These things cannot be sold at a high price, but Mr. Meng doesn't mind selling them for two copper plates each.

Immediately afterwards, he encouraged the students to write more articles and submit the good ones to bookstores for printing and sale.

In this way, students develop their writing skills, build a reputation, and even improve their courage. Especially for students from poor families, they can still earn a considerable amount of income.

If this student has income, he doesn't need to owe the academy any money.

Meng Yunzheng always seized the opportunity to increase the academy's income, especially last year, when the academy produced several Jinshi at one go, which caused a sensation throughout Dasu.

So, Meng Yunzheng listened to Shu Yu's advice and went... to attract investment.

The merchants are naturally very happy. They have nothing but money.

Very good, the academy is extremely rich now.

Probably in the whole of Dasu, unless there is a government subsidy, there is probably no academy richer than Zhenglu Academy.
