Chapter 217: Let out of the army(2/2)
"My father is an old stubborn person. You must bring these people, so you can bring them with you." October said.
"Okay, then take it with you. Your pickup speed is a bit fast. Can you let me take a few bites off first and then pick it up?"
Liu Chuyi looked helpless, and his bowl was piled up into a hill.
"Sister-in-law, we want it too." Tong Botao and Wei Suo brought the bowl to October.
"Go and go, pick up what you want to eat yourself." Yu Yue gave the two a blank look.
"eccentric!"
Tong Botao curled his lips, and then realized something was wrong. Why did he call his sister-in-law again?
Losing again.
"My Majesty and I said that all the schools across the country will be opened soon. This is an institution directly managed by the court. Both men and women can go to school."
"Every family, from the New Year next year, will go to school whenever they reach five years old, and will go to school until they are ten years old. The tuition fees for these five years will be borne by the court."
"Whether you have to continue to go to school after you are ten years old depends on your own situation. After all, it is already a considerable expense to bear five years of tuition." Liu Chu said.
"No, as far as I know, the expenses of the court have basically remained the same every year in recent years. Where can I get the extra money to bear this part of the tuition fee?"
"According to the situation in our Great Wei Dynasty, children who have to go to school at the age of five to ten may not be less than ten million every year, right? This expense is an astronomical number!" asked in confusion.
"Part one was sponsored by some noble people in the palace, and the ministers of the court brought out some property. Officials from various places also launched an initiative in the villages and received a lot of fundraising."
"These are all combined, and they are also a huge sum of money, but they are still a drop in the bucket and can only solve the urgent problem for a while."
"The army is the one who really contributes the most!" Liu Chu said.
"Army?" October was stunned for a moment.
"Well, the soldiers found their respective generals and initiated a joint application, requiring each person to reduce the salary of one or two silver coins per month. The veterans who retired voluntarily gave up their monthly living allowances and left the money to the children."
"The money was given out from the army, and it was given out by the soldiers."
