Chapter 512 Thunderous Means
For a time, all the students and scholars in Hezhou heard the news and were discussing this matter.
"It's true. Have you ever seen the academy? It's really big and grand. There are many shops built around it. I heard it's convenient for eating and shopping."
"There's a plaque on the academy, called Wende Academy. It's the name written by Lord Su himself, and the calligraphy is beautiful."
"There are a lot of notices posted outside the academy, saying they're recruiting students from poor families. As long as they pass the entrance exam, they can study there. The monthly tuition is 500 coins. The academy's deans are forbidden from accepting bribes or gifts from students."
"Is it really that good? Is the monthly maintenance fee so cheap?"
"Yes, it also says there will be a mock exam every month, and the top three will receive scholarships. The first place winner will receive three taels of silver for first place, the second place winner will receive two taels of silver for second place, and the third place winner will receive one tael of silver for third place. There will also be scholarships for diligence and financial aid later on, and you can also help out at school and earn some copper coins..."
"But there are also rules. Fighting is prohibited. Anyone who has bullied classmates in other colleges will be banned from studying at the academy."
"The teachers we invite must be highly respected. We will not hire any teachers who flatter the powerful and bully our students..."
Everyone talked about some notices outside the academy and discussed them with each other.
Especially some poor students became more and more excited as they listened.
“It’s so satisfying.”
"Yes, yes, it's really refreshing."
"We are going to study in this academy."
"Yes, the academy founded by Lord Su is worth going to, not only because of the low tuition fees, but also because of the many rules and regulations and the teaching of Master Qiao."
As long as you study hard and do well in the exams every month, you can get a scholarship.
The scholarship is enough for them to study.
Furthermore, fighting is prohibited in the academy. Anyone who fights will be expelled from the academy and a notice will be posted outside the academy.
After this measure was implemented, no one dared to fight.
Of course, most ordinary students just want to study hard and don’t have the mind to bully others.
However, those who bullied others in other academies changed their expressions when they learned about the rules of this academy.
"I didn't expect that Lord Su would do this."
"Humph, I thought he wanted to manage our college, but it turns out he founded his own academy and even invited Mr. Qiao to teach there."
"Brother Zou, can we also go to this academy?"
"Didn't you hear what those people said? Anyone who has bullied a classmate before will not be allowed in."
"Whether or not it's bullying is up to us to decide."
Some people even wanted to go and see what was going on.
I still want to enter this academy and disrupt its atmosphere.
Zou Guang used to be the follower of the young master of the Ge family. However, after the Ge family was sealed off and some of the Ge family members were dealt with, Zou Guang became the leader of the students of a certain college.
He had been spoiled by the academy and was very arrogant in nature.
He didn't take Su Xueyi seriously at all.
He wanted to cause trouble on purpose, so he took a few followers to register at Wende Academy.
"Zou Guang?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Zou Guang was about to fill out the registration form. After he wrote his name, he was stopped by the person in charge of the registration form.
The person in charge of registration said, "Come here, these are a few people from Heguang Academy. They have bullied and oppressed other students in the past. Get rid of them. They are not welcome in our academy."
Zou Guang's expression changed immediately. "What right do you have to say that about us? What evidence do you have? What qualifications do you have?"
The person in charge laughed and said, "Why?"
"Of course, we have the final say as our academy. So what if we don't accept you?"
This person is Lin Kun. He used to be quite knowledgeable, but unfortunately he was bullied and kicked out of the academy, and later he could only be a scholar.
This time, Lord Su asked him to be responsible for registering students for the entrance examination and gave him a list.
It was said that anyone related to or on the list was not allowed to enter the academy.
They said these were people who had bullied their classmates and abused their power.
He wrote down the names of the people on the list, so any bully like that would not be allowed to enter the academy and disrupt the environment.
Guards immediately appeared and stopped Zou Guang and his men.
Lin Kun even said to the people beside him: "Post these names on the notice board as a warning to others."
"yes."
Zou Guang was used to bullying others by taking advantage of his power, and now he said arrogantly: "How dare you! How dare you!"
"We have posted notices saying if anyone tries to confuse the border, we will post a warning."
"I don't accept it. It's no use not accepting it."
Lin Kun finally felt proud.
He had a classmate at the time who was very knowledgeable, but unfortunately he was bullied by this group of people and was forced out of the academy. His leg was injured and he was unable to take the imperial examinations.
Not only that, many talented students from poor families are bullied.
The teachers in the academy found various ways to accept bribes, and Ge Shao and his people found various ways to bully people.
Now that Ge Shao is dead, Zou Guang is still arrogant.
Don’t you see who is managing Hezhou now?
Now, other forces in Hezhou no longer dare to go against Lord Su.
These people actually dare to be so arrogant.
They said there was no evidence, but Lord Su had evidence in his hands. It's just that these people were scholars. They had never killed anyone, and Lord Su would not really take action against them.
However, once Wende Academy is opened, it will gradually recruit students who are truly studious and have good moral character.
It will cultivate batches of talents for the Great Yan Dynasty.
Lin Kun felt resentful. If it weren't for these people, he could have taken part in the provincial examination.
But now that he is following Lord Su, he will do his job well.
Zou Guang and his men were finally driven out in a mess.
They were like lost dogs, being pointed at and scolded by others.
After Su Xueyi learned about this, she called her subordinates and asked, "Zou Guang dares to be so arrogant. Who is relying on his power?"
Su Ying had already investigated the matter clearly as early as when Zou Guang caused trouble.
"The Zou family started out as a salt smuggler. Zou Guang got into the academy through connections. One of the teachers there is a member of the Zou family... His followers also have cooperative relationships with the Zou family..."
Su Xueyi said coldly: "Collect evidence of these people's crimes and deal with them together."
They actually dared to bully others by taking advantage of their power and even caused trouble at the entrance of the academy. Then we should destroy the power they rely on.
There was a cold and dangerous glint in Su Xueyi's eyes.
When dealing with some rampant forces in Hezhou, Su Xueyi used cruel methods.
It also serves as a warning to some people and serves as a warning to others.
So that they don’t jump out one by one.
We must also prevent anyone from obstructing the normal opening and operation of the college.
So he arranged guards there and also transferred Su Jian to keep an eye on it.
Su Jian's kung fu is very strong, and no one dares to cause trouble.
If someone makes a fuss, post it.
Su Xueyi understood that in order to govern Hezhou well, she had to use thunder-like measures when necessary.
Su Xueyi's iron-blooded wrist shocked some people.
It also won the support of students from poor families.
Of course, many ordinary families and some wealthy children who are content with their business also support Su Xueyi.
They feel that they can study well.
I was still waiting and wondering whether I should go to the academy to study.
Seeing Lord Su’s attitude this time, everyone felt relieved.
In the following period, many people went to the college to register.
There are also many people taking the entrance exam.
If you pass the test, you can enter the academy.
The college also has special dormitories.
When these people entered the college dormitory and took a look, they were all shocked.
Or is it still this layout?
The dormitories were different from any they had seen before, as was the college cafeteria.
The cafeteria is large and has special plates for meals.
The classrooms are different too.
They found that the classroom was so spacious and bright.
The desk and chair are also very good.
Moreover, the food in the college cafeteria is not only cheap but also plentiful, much better than they imagined.
There are also activity venues, study societies, and libraries.
"There's actually... there's actually a library?"
"You can read books in the library for free. All you need to do is get a library card."
Everyone was excited when they heard that books in the library could be read for free.
You have to know how expensive books are. Not to mention buying them on a normal day, some books are even less common.
But when they came to the library, they found that there were many books there.
These books were collected by Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao and placed here.
