"Quick! The imperial edict is here! "
"Let's go. I heard that the Emperor issued an imperial edict in Chang 'an. He said that a new White Deer College was built outside Chang' an. He said that anyone who goes to the college will be admitted for free!"
"What? Is there such a good thing? "
"That's right. Just a private school alone costs 100 strings of coins a year. Not everyone is qualified to go. What is this White Deer College in Chang 'an trying to do? How can ordinary people like us get involved with it? "
"Yes!"
"I heard that the Emperor has issued an imperial edict. It's being posted everywhere in the Luozhou government office! I also heard about it when I entered the city with the caravan. I heard that the college's classes are amazing. It hasn't been built yet, but it's already on the same level as that Imperial College. "
"Have you heard about this Imperial College?"
In front of a tea stall in the Luozhou government office.
A naked man was rubbing his toes while holding a bowl and drinking tea in large mouthfuls.
More and more people gathered around him.
Not only the ordinary people, but also some merchants could not help but stop and watch. They did not believe that such a college existed in the world.
Not only was it free, but it was also helping the ordinary people?
The sun must have risen from the west.
"Burly man, is what you said true?"
When the burly man heard this, he wiped the sweat off his face and flung it away. Instantly, the crowd could not help but step back.
The burly man glared at him.
"How can this be false?"
"You all know who my boss is, right? He's the Duke of Chen! A few days ago, he set off from Chang 'an to deliver some goods back to Luozhou. Along the way, he met someone from the palace. When my boss asked, I happened to be taking a dump in the thatch not far away. That's why I heard it for real! "
"If you don't believe me, you can go to the government office and take a look. It's probably crowded with people now!"
Hearing the burly man's words.
Everyone could not sit still.
Although everyone somewhat believed the words of the burly man, they couldn't help but choose not to believe the man's sloppy appearance. After all, this fellow was too f * cking disgusting.
More and more people heard the news.
There were more and more people rushing to the entrance of the mansion.
Why?
Because they were poor!
Moreover, if he wanted to get rid of his poverty, he could only go to the study hall.
Now, such a great thing had actually happened. How could this not make them seethe with excitement?
The bartender of the tavern couldn't take it anymore. He threw away the triangular hat on his head and ran away. The strong men who worked as coolies in other taverns couldn't take it anymore. They all ran towards the entrance of the mansion like crazy.
Basically, after hearing the news of the imperial edict, every family with a young adult or a twelve-year-old child hurriedly ran to the gate of the manor.
Although they couldn't read the words, there were people here who could read them!
You only need to give them a coin, and they will tell you everything clearly.
As for the person who paid the money and got the real news, he ran away with a giddy face. As he ran home, he was grinning from ear to ear.
"My family is going to have a top scholar!"
"Hahaha, my son has finally made a comeback!"
"God bless, my Ah family finally has a good seedling!"
And in the house of a certain village outside Luozhou City.
At this moment, an old man and a young man were squatting in the shade of the mud brick courtyard, weaving straw mats and bamboo baskets.
On the wall behind them and in the courtyard, there were piles of woven baskets and bamboo products.
There were grasshopper-like trinkets.
There were also bamboo lanterns and so on. However, it seemed that business wasn't good. Many of the bamboo products were densely packed with black things.
However, this was the livelihood of the family. Although the things in the courtyard could be sold for a lot of money, the things in front of them were only enough to feed the family.
"Old Lai, head of the family, something big has happened!"
"Something big has happened!"
At this moment.
On the plains not far away, a woman carrying a large basket hurried over.
The middle-aged man named Old Lai's hand paused. In an instant, a bamboo strip pierced into his thumb. Old Lai raised his dark face full of frowns and angrily glared at the woman. He roared, "Damn woman, it's not even noon yet. How many baskets have you sold? You're back already? "
Old Lai exploded with anger.
He almost picked up the hatchet beside him.
The young man squatting beside Old Lai, named Lai Ji, glanced at the woman in puzzlement. He lowered his head and continued weaving the bamboo characters in his hands.
The woman not far away waved her hands even more vigorously. She seemed to be afraid of the middle-aged man.
The woman was not old. She was about thirty years old. However, under the whips of life, her face was full of vicissitudes. Her face was full of fly droppings, which made her look even older.
"Head of the family, something big has happened, something big has happened!"
"Today, I heard that the Emperor in the Imperial Palace gave us a great benefit!"
Old Lai, who had already raised his hatchet, was startled when he heard this.
"What benefit?"
"Is the rent waived this year? Or is it food? "
While they were talking, the woman had already come to Old Lai's side. Without saying anything, she threw away the basket on her shoulder and knelt on the ground. She hugged Lai Ji and cried.
"Son!"
"My Lai family's ancestral grave is finally smoking. You, you, you can go to the school that the Emperor personally ordered to open to study!"
