Chapter 288: The days of millet bugs are gone
Because Fude Academy collected little tuition, some families who were originally reluctant to send their children to school, or simply did not have the ability to support their children's education, gritted their teeth and decided to send their children to study there.
As a result, within a short period of time, the number of children who came to the Su family to register was almost twice the number of children in the Li family's private school.
Except for the children from Daliushu Village and several nearby villages, all these children have to live in the private school.
Since it is accommodation, there must be a canteen and dormitory.
Not only that, but there must also be someone dedicated to manage it.
In this case, the Su family alone cannot handle it.
In addition, there are cleaners, gatekeepers, and patrol officers to maintain public order...
"Dad, it seems we have to hire someone." said Old Mrs. Su.
The daughters-in-law at home are pregnant. Although they can help, they must not be exhausted, so we have to hire someone.
Little Tangbao nodded repeatedly.
This is a must!
For such a large academy, every aspect must be in place and a lot of people need to be hired.
"Then let's hire two people to help with cooking." said Old Man Su.
"Dad, there are also people who guard the gate, clean the place, manage the dormitories, and patrol to prevent thieves..."
Little Tangbao started counting on his fingers.
"My daughter, I'll do the cleaning myself," said Old Man Su. "There's no need for anyone to watch the gate, so who would dare to go in and steal things? There's no need for patrols either. I'll just let your eldest and sixth brothers take a stroll and keep an eye on the kids so they don't fight."
Little Tangbao understood.
While managing the academy, my father also has to work part-time as a cleaner.
My eldest brother and sixth brother are part-time patrol officers and dormitory managers.
"Dad, they sent their children to our academy, so we have to be responsible for them." Little Tangbao said like a little adult: "What if a bad guy runs in? What if someone fights in the dormitory at night? If someone is injured, the responsibility will still be borne by our family."
"Dad, you know that many children from wealthy families love to bully children from poor families. What if no one is watching over them and they bully others behind their backs? What should we do?"
Old Man Su, “…”
"So, Dad, there must be someone patrolling the academy, someone guarding the gate, and someone managing the dormitories. We must also live in the academy at night."
Old Man Su: "...that's right."
Little Tangbao saw that his father was thinking about something, so he quickly continued his efforts.
"Dad, didn't my godfather ask big brother to be in charge of purchasing food for the military camp? Big brother is just right to take on this task. From now on, big brother will be responsible for purchasing for the academy and the military camp."
When Xiao Tangbao said this, a cunning and intelligent light appeared in his big eyes.
Then, he added, "If we work together, we won't interfere with each other. Besides, we can buy more and establish long-term relationships with customers. As for patrolling the academy, you don't have to worry about it, big brother."
The purchases from both sides are not small, so someone must be responsible for it.
Moreover, his elder brother cannot be confined to a small academy. He must gain more experience and interact with more different people.
She wants to open a factory in the future.
After listening to Xiao Tangbao's words, Old Man Su nodded repeatedly.
"My daughter is so smart! She always thinks of everything!" Old man Su said with pride.
Su Xiaoliu listened from the side and touched his head.
With a look of admiration on his face, he asked in confusion: "Sister, how do you know so much?"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Sixth brother, can you ignore this problem?
However, Xiao Tangbao also knew that the words he said were not something that a child of a few years old could say.
"I heard it from Brother Yang." Little Tangbao directly put the blame on Xuanyuan Jin.
This was the reason she had thought of long ago.
As for why Xuanyuan Jin, a little kid, understood all this, that was none of her business.
Anyway, her father, her brother and others would definitely not ask her little brother.
"Dad, Brother Yang said that our academy should establish a reward and punishment system." Little Tangbao continued, "For example, the top few in each monthly exam can receive silver or calligraphy as rewards..."
Xiao Tangbao simply copied some of the reward methods of modern schools.
"By the way, for students who are intelligent, have good character, and come from difficult financial circumstances, we can also lend them money to support their studies. It won't be too late to repay them when they become successful in the future." Little Tangbao continued with a smile, "This way, we can not only cultivate talents and good officials, benefiting the people, but also build reputation and connections for our academy..."
The more Old Man Su listened, the brighter his eyes became.
"My dear, is this also what Young Master Yang said?"
"Yeah, that's what Brother Yang said." Little Tangbao nodded without any guilt.
Alas! She was still a baby, yet she was forced to go through all this trouble.
What happened to being a rice bug or a small salted fish?
"Auntie, if this continues, can our academy still make money?" Qian Yuemei said carefully, "Our tuition fees are already low, and we have to hire so many people to help. Now we have to give out rewards and lend money to people..."
What if those people fail to get into high school, wouldn’t the money we lent be wasted?
Under normal circumstances, Qian Yuemei would not dare to question her sister-in-law.
However, when it comes to money, she can't help it.
"Second sister-in-law, our family didn't run this academy just to make money." Little Tangbao said seriously, "Now that our lives are better, we naturally have to help others to the best of our ability and give back to the people. Just like repairing bridges and roads, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, these things can accumulate blessings."
Just like myself, I died saving people in ten lifetimes, in exchange for a life full of blessings in this one.
As soon as Little Tangbao finished speaking, Old Lady Su immediately said, "Tangbao is right. None of you should think of making a lot of money in this academy. Just treat it as a charity!"
"That's right! It's about doing good deeds!" Old Man Su also understood and quickly agreed.
My daughter is so blessed, it must be God's love, so of course we should do more good deeds.
Since the few people with the most say in the Su family have spoken, others will certainly not object.
In fact, apart from Qian Yuemei, no one would question Xiao Tangbao's words.
Especially Mrs. Su, since she became pregnant, her heart and eyes are filled with gratitude towards her sister-in-law.
In her opinion, she was able to get pregnant again thanks to her sister-in-law.
Now, when she heard about doing good deeds and accumulating blessings, Mrs. Su agreed wholeheartedly.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to find Master." Little Tangbao blinked his bright eyes and said, "Master's handwriting is good. Let's ask Master to help me write down these rules and post them on the walls of every classroom to motivate students to study hard."
"Okay, my daughter is really thoughtful." Old Man Su said with a rosy face, "Write a generous reward. And if there's a child with good character who can't afford to go to school, we can also provide more financial support..."
Old man Su kept talking, feeling that doing good deeds and accumulating blessings made his heart feel so open.
He would be happy even if the academy had to lose money.
"Yeah, I understand, Dad." Little Tangbao nodded repeatedly.
But in his heart he knew that his own nonsense had ruined his wonderful life.
Judging from the expressions of my father and mother, I am afraid that the academy may lose money in the future.
