Chapter 223 Enrollment and Opening

After inspecting the academy, seven days passed in a blink of an eye...

During these seven days, the enrollment of Gewu Academy became the hottest topic after the locust plague.

Whether in teahouses and restaurants or in brothels in vegetable markets, the rich and speechless treatment of the Enlightenment Academy and the Agricultural College, cooking training classes, driving training classes, traditional Chinese medicine training classes, teaching and meetings, will not be able to re-learning again, and after learning, the news about distribution and good treatment will soon spread around the city at an extremely fast speed.

Under Li Anran's arrangement, this spread was not just like the previous rumor, but was spread purely by people's mouths. Instead, on the second day after the inspection, a booklet that was only the size of a palm began to be sold everywhere in Chang'an City and several surrounding counties by children of all sizes for two cents.

The content recorded in these brochures is about the admission information of the two major colleges and three training classes in Gewu Academy, as well as announcements and school rules. In addition to the text content, the brochure also prints a few clear pictures about the inside of the academy. The beautiful scenery specially selected is enough to make this thing similar to the admission brochure a suspected tourism brochure.

Don’t look at these booklets for a penny, but they are made of paper, clear handwriting, and the pictures that seem to be copied from reality. Not to mention a penny, even if they are sold for ten cents or hundreds of cents, some people are willing to make a book for home collection. Therefore, after these booklets were launched on the market, they immediately formed a strange state of supply and demand.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Anran's wealth in the Tang Dynasty and space, it is a wealthy man who can compete with a country. It is just a hundred thousand booklets, which can be spent on the printing industry of modern time and space. But why do you have to be sold instead of gifted? The main reason is that no one will cherish the gifted things and easily cause waste.

The price of two cents will not make the poor people feel that they can't bear it. They will not make these people living at the bottom of society not take the booklet seriously, and do things like tearing them off and wiping their butts, etc.

In fact, Li Anran thought so well, but in fact, no one really would do this and dared to do this.

The printing technique of the Tang Dynasty was still very backward, and the legendary movable type printing technique of the killer was invented in the Northern Song Dynasty. This also led to the fact that the books on the market were not as cheap as possible, not to mention that there were pictures on the brochures that were said to be taken directly from reality by immortals and sealed. Who dared to do anything randomly?

As the supply of brochures was in short supply, the enrollment points set up in Chang'an City and surrounding counties soon ushered in a rush of people. There was no way, but the brochure said that it doesn't matter if you can't afford the high tuition fee. As long as you are willing to sign a ten-year employment agreement with the college, you can enroll for free. Of course, the premise is that you have to meet other requirements.

No one cares about ordinary people who are similar to selling themselves for ten years in order to give their children a chance to succeed. After all, it is not easy to find a job with generous rewards these days. Not to mention ten years, after figuring out what the allocation means and the assigned work benefits, even if you sign for a lifetime, someone will be willing to do so.

Not to mention that although this enrollment is in the name of the Gewu Academy, it still has the official guarantee of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Li Anran has been running around to seek disasters before, which can be regarded as showing off his own "magic power". After learning that the Gewu Academy is a Chunyang Zhenren opened a college to educate the people, the people who have received favors became even more enthusiastic.

It is precisely because of this reaction that the first batch of enrollment of the two colleges and three training classes was fully registered without even taking a day. Considering that the talents trained by the academy will have problems with loyalty, as long as you don’t come into contact with your core plan, this time the recruitment is mainly ordinary people and poor children.

After registering, everyone who meets the conditions will have a dedicated person visiting the other party’s home to confirm that it is not being impersonated, and also understand the students’ family background. If the family is really poor or has any difficulties, the college will also provide a scholarship fund for students’ homes to improve their lives and solve their difficulties.

At the beginning of this move, many people thought it was just a gimmick, but as one family received the help of this scholarship fund, not to mention the other side, just in fame, the Gewu Academy quickly surpassed those private academies. Invisibly, it caused some dissatisfaction.

As for those people from wealthy families, although Li Anran did not refuse, he also said ugly things ahead. That is, since he was about to come, he had to abide by the rules of the academy. He would put away all behaviors such as posing airs and origins. If there was a violation of school rules, no matter which prince's child or the subordinate of a high-ranking official, he would be severely punished.

Not to mention, as the king of a country, Li Shimin, who was the king of a country, actually gave enough support to such a ruler out of trying to break the situation where the aristocratic family was too big. He gave each teacher a ruler. Although it was not stated clearly, the meaning was clearly the rhythm of teaching me a lesson if someone made trouble.

Li Anran was speechless. It was like this, but it still could not stop those wealthy families, officials, either through formal channels or various channels, intending to send the children of each family or the personnel they want to train to the academy. Even the royal family did not leave. Although the prince and the prince did not come, a group of people who met the requirements still sent over.

Considering that the faculty of the academy is still relatively weak, after the first enrollment work of the Gewu Academy was completed, Li Anran did not mean to expand the enrollment number. No matter which senior official you sent or which wealthy family members, they would ask for an early reply to be rejected in the next session.

For those ordinary people, although Li Anran did not want to let go of his admissions, he also gave him another opportunity. Anyone who could become a household in Xiaoyao Villa or someone at home worked in the villa's industry would have the qualification to be given priority to enter the academy. Of course, this qualification would not affect normal admissions.

After seven days of busyness passed, the Gewu Academy ushered in the official opening day.

With the previous craze caused by enrollment, many people gathered towards the academy before dawn.

Considering that the opening of a college and the opening of a commercial business are two different things, there is no need for too much lively scenes. Therefore, Li Anran arranged a large number of people in advance and set up a triple line of defense between the commercial street and the academy to avoid too many irrelevant people entering and causing trouble for the opening ceremony of the academy, and also avoiding people with bad intentions infiltrate.

Those who can truly participate in the opening ceremony, except those invited, can bring a relative in. If there are many people coming, such as parents or brothers, although everyone cannot participate in the opening ceremony, they will be arranged to the venue where the audience will be attended.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of opening the academy, Li Anran also spent some time learning how to set up a radio station in modern time and space, and also found a domestic manufacturer to order a batch of radios with very antique shapes. In addition to live broadcasting the opening ceremony, Changan Radio Station was also established.

For this reason, I specially selected a few big girls and wives from the villa with sweet voices and clear pronunciation. After some preliminary training, I became the broadcaster. Since the Tang Dynasty did not have Mandarin, I could only temporarily use the language that is most widely circulated in Chang'an as the broadcasting language. As for those outsiders who don't understand, I can only find a translator.

As time goes by, as the opening time is approaching, not to mention the playground inside the academy, even the auditorium prepared outside the "defense line" is already crowded with people. What makes those old scholars who also open academy for their living are extremely jealous that, in addition to a large number of dignitaries and nobles who come to attend the opening ceremony of the Juwu Academy, even the current emperors are here.
