After the opening of Meijiang Academy, a small academic class was established.
As the name suggests, small science schools only recruit those who are gifted, intelligent and knowledgeable, and train and teach them from a young age with the goal of taking scientific examinations.
The teacher in charge of the small academy was Lu Changgong and Lu Changji's teacher. Xiao Huzi followed the teacher back and entered the small academy to study.
When Lu Changji came back with the graduate students, he entrusted the little tiger to the teacher. When Ganzhou Prefecture built the fourth academy, the teacher resigned to the emperor and requested to teach at Meijiang Academy.
The gentleman was a great scholar, and was the object of competition among aristocratic families for their descendants. It is said that the aristocratic families wrote letters to retain him, but in short, they tried every means but failed to keep this great scholar.
After the news that the great scholar would teach in Meijiang Village broke out, many respected and knowledgeable gentlemen and even the chief academic officer of the Imperial College wrote letters requesting to "go to the countryside."
Back then, the great scholar had successfully resigned by using the excuse of "going to the countryside." They followed his example, thinking they could also escape and follow the great scholar, but...
The emperor directly rejected their request.
He also used the reason of internal appointment to make them give up and stay in the capital.
With the joining of great scholars, many gentlemen who had previously not dared to teach at Meijiang Academy are now teaching at Meijiang Academy, attracting more and more children from poor families to participate in the entrance examination of Meijiang Academy.
At the same time, Su Sijin seized the opportunity and launched school district housing near the academy, which can be rented or purchased.
The rental is not expensive, a single room costs only one or two taels of silver a month, double rooms are also very affordable, and family rooms are also available.
One tael of silver a month is still too expensive for students from poor families, but the school district house is close to Cuiwei Book House and the academy, it is very quiet and has nice interior decoration.
For example, each room is equipped with a shower room and toilet.
There is also a small kitchen, desk, wooden bed and other furniture, so you can just move in with your luggage.
But these are not the most important reasons. What really attracts students is that it is equipped with separate shower rooms and toilets.
Although other private houses only cost 800 wen a month to rent, using the toilet was a hassle. Not only did you have to go a long way to relieve yourself, but the stench was also overwhelming.
There is no separate shower room, and you need to queue up and pay to take a shower. However, the school district housing has a separate shower room, and water comes out as soon as you turn on the button.
It is convenient and saves a lot of time, which can be used to go to the library to read books or review homework.
Another point is that once the door is closed, your privacy is protected and you don’t have to deal with gossip among your neighbors. It’s very quiet and comfortable.
Also, there is no rule that only one person can live in a room in school district housing. It is said that those from poor families can share a room with other people, but only with one person.
In this way, if two people share the cost equally, each person only needs 500 wen per month, which is much better than 800 wen per month.
If more than three people live in a single room, they will be blacklisted by Meijiang Academy and will never be allowed to study there.
Therefore, as soon as the news of school district housing came out, it was booked out.
Those who cannot rent a house and have a good financial situation will grit their teeth and buy a smaller house in the school district.
Some people have extra rooms and will rent them to those who don't have one.
The success of the school district housing made Su Sijin realize that real estate is always a highly profitable industry. Therefore, one building after another was erected in Ningdu County.
Ganzhou Prefecture and even other counties also built one building after another.
The real estate boom reached its hottest time in just three years, and even Su Sijin from Beijing was not spared.
Many of the buildings standing in the capital today were built by Su Sijin.
Of course, the court took 20% of the profits, Sima Chengqi took 20%, and she, Su Sijin, took 60%.
Why did the imperial court and Sima Chengqi need to be involved? Firstly, it was impossible to accomplish everything in one go, and secondly, there were not enough construction teams to implement it simultaneously in multiple locations in Da Yue.
But with the participation of the court and Sima Chengqi, they had to solve the problems she encountered.
And the third and most crucial point is, who dares to get involved in the industries controlled by the court and the emperor?
Without the support of the imperial court and the emperor, she would have no chance of building properties in various parts of Dai Viet because there would always be jealous people who wanted to get a piece of the pie.
But the 20% profit that Su Sijin gave to the court could shut up the jealous monster, because this 20% profit would be put into the national treasury to fill it up.
Besides, the 20% profit belongs to Sima Chengqi. Who dares to have an opinion and cause trouble? If you have an opinion and want to cause trouble, will that mean you will end up ruining Emperor Qinghe's job?
How many lives do you have? Do you dare to challenge?
Do you dare to destroy the emperor's rice bowl?
Su Sijin took the initiative to give up 40% of the profits because she thought of various possibilities.
Besides, if you don’t let the imperial court get some benefits, do you think the imperial court won’t ask for it?
Instead of the court asking for it, it is better to give it on your own initiative.
Can the results of active and passive be the same?
It is different.
Therefore, Su Sijin's real estate business can proceed so smoothly.
It was a sunny day, and Su Sijin dragged her tired body back to Lu's house.
When the four little ones saw Su Sijin, they pouting and crying and quickly rushed into Su Sijin's arms.
The four little ones kissed, hugged and told Su Sijin about their longing, especially the chubby Sibao. She looked at Su Sijin with her watery eyes, and her puffed cheeks showed that she was blaming Su Sijin.
Su Sijin's heart ached, the pain spread from her bones and blood to her head. She hugged the four little ones in pain and said sorry and how much she missed them.
She has been gone for half a year, and it is great that such a young child can still remember her.
But it was obvious that Lu Changgong had given her a good education. Not only did the four little ones not forget her, they also missed her very much.
