Mo Yanchi stroked his beard and laughed.
He looked at Ke Shouwang, "Tell us why you would choose the silver."
Ke Shouwang spoke bluntly, "There’s no reason really, when faced with a pile of white silver and a book, even a fool knows which to pick."
"After all, it takes a month of reading to earn one hundred taels, but fifty taels of silver can be obtained without any effort."
Bai Zhi’er pouted angrily, "You’re just a fool."
Mo Yanchi asked again, "My young apprentice, why did you choose the book?"
Bai Zhi’er’s eyes were bright and black, "Although it takes a month of studying to earn the money, once I’ve learned the thods in the book, I can get many hundred taels."
"Even if I spend a month, the return far surpasses those fifty taels. It’s long-lasting."
Ke Shouwang’s eyes lit up after hearing this, "That’s right!"
Why didn’t he think of that?
Mo Yanchi looked admiringly at Bai Zhi’er, "My young apprentice is quite right. But those people rushing to support their families want quick money."
"They would rather work hard and look everywhere for opportunities to earn those fifty taels, than have the ti or mood to sit quietly and read for a month to make a hundred taels."
"Now that the master says this, do you understand why no one cos to take the examination?"
Bai Zhi’er showed a thoughtful expression on her fair, soft face.
She thought for a while, then her eyes widened, "I know why!"
Ke Shouwang was still confused, "I don’t know, so why is it?"
In theory, he also felt that with the Princess’s school, with such good conditions and free reading, who wouldn’t co?
Bai Zhi’er blinked her long lashes, "Those who get free education often have poor family conditions, which makes them more willing to do hard labor for quick money to support their families."
"Studying, to them, is impractical and interrupts their earning ti."
Here, the little one still frowned with confusion.
"But master, even if so people think studying can’t change their lives, there should still be so poor scholars who would co!"
How could there be no one?
Mo Yanchi just smiled and said, "How could they dare?"
Bai Zhi’er showed so confusion, but quickly understood.
With the grand spectacle of the Princess establishing a school.
Although Bai Zhi’er publicized the free reading offer.
How could those ordinary folks believe such a fortunate thing would just fall from Heaven?
In their eyes, the Princess, like the Emperor, was full of majesty and not to be offended.
They were only afraid it was a trap, or that once they ca, they’d have to pay another price.
Naturally, no one would dare to co!
Once everything was clear, Bai Zhi’er suddenly realized, "So that’s how it is!"
The little one ran to Mo Yanchi’s side, shaking his arm with a slightly pitiful, pampered voice.
"Master already knew, why didn’t you tell Zhi’er?"
Mo Yanchi chuckled, "This matter is not serious. My young apprentice could comprehend it, so the master refrained from saying more."
Bai Zhi’er regained her confidence, having already thought of a solution.
"Dear Sun Sun!" The little one called out loudly.
Ke Shouwang instinctively leaned over, waiting for instructions.
Suddenly, he realized, "Your Highness! I am not your grandson, nor am I obedient!"
Bai Zhi’er beckoned with her finger, "Co here, I have sothing for you to do."
Ke Shouwang obediently bent over, listening to Bai Zhi’er’s soft, lengthy instructions.
His expression shifted from doubt to shock.
"Will this work?"
Bai Zhi’er gave a sweet smile, her expression lively and cunning, "Just listen to . If you do it well, I won’t call you dear Sun Sun anymore in the future."
