Chapter 243 How much does Confucius charge for private tuition

After reading the book, the address of [Wanbenshen Station]: Avoid the pain of chasing books!

In terms of specific tuition fees, it really gave Confucius and Min Shigong a headache for a long time. Tuition fees must be charged, and if you don't charge tuition, you won't be able to continue your private education. Because! You've robbed a job in a public school.

And also! You can't live on your own without tuition.

Not only do you have to eat, but you also have to have children, and your children are counting on you to feed them.

Other than that! If there are more students, you can't teach alone, so you have to ask your husband for help. You can do without tuition for compulsory education, and your husband can also pay for compulsory education without salary, but you all have to eat? Isn't it?

So! Tuition fees are mandatory!

But? How much do you receive?

Charge the same tuition as public tuition?

So! Absolutely no one wants to come. People won't believe you at all, they will just send you to a public school. Although public schools are expensive, they have many benefits.

Anyway! Public schools were subsidized by the state, and kings, nobles, and merchants had additional donations. For the sake of formality! It will only superficially run the school well, proving that the king, the nobles, and the merchants attach importance to education.

A vassal state attaches great importance to talents, and in front of the Son of Heaven and other vassal states in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is very face-saving. Such! will fool the talents to assist themselves.

In short: public schools are image projects, and they must be done well.

So! The tuition fees of private schools run by Confucius cannot be higher than those of public schools. It's not okay to charge the same fees as public schools, and people won't go to your private school.

But! Your private tuition fee is too low, you can recruit students, which may affect the source of students in public schools, and other kings and nobles will not let you run it. Because! You've influenced their image engineering.

For kings, nobles, wealthy people, etc., it doesn't matter whether they run schools or not. Because! Their families generally have a tutor. Office schools, mainly image projects, is face.

Furthermore! Although kings, nobles, and wealthy families had tutors at home, they did not attach much importance to education, including their children and grandchildren. Because! The relationship between the title inheritance system and the knowledge does not matter. As long as you inherit the title, you have everything.

Just like the rich second generation and others in modern society, what do they want to study? Study! It's a waste of their time and their youth. As long as you can inherit the property, you can do it.

Studying is someone else's business, what kind of talent can't be recruited by their company? In the talent market, there are many people with doctoral and master's degrees. Isn't it?

Although the kings and nobles did not attach importance to education, but! Image engineering is important. You can't affect their image engineering because of you.

Furthermore! It doesn't matter if they themselves feel that they receive an education or not, but! Others need to be well educated. Others have no knowledge like themselves, then! Their own status and vassal states will be finished.

I don't have to study, but you have to study for me, and study is for me!

So! Kings, nobles, rich people and others still have to pay attention to education! The focus is on how much education others have received, so as to choose the right talent.

If your private education not only affects their image engineering, but also affects the education policy of kings and nobles, then! I won't let you continue your private studies.

In the past, when he ran a "kindergarten" in the countryside, Confucius was also worried about this matter, and he didn't know how much tuition fees he charged. Later not? Get the sponsorship and support of Brother Fang, no specific fee, vague, as long as you send me some gifts as tuition, I will accept you. That's it! The "Confucius Kindergarten" has been run.

But now the situation is different, now you are running a school in the capital. I used to be in the countryside, and not too many people knew about it, and it was only the people of this village. Now in Qufu City, the capital of Lu State, the influence is greater, not only the entire Lu State knows, but even foreigners will know it.

So! If you don't know how much money you tuition, your private school may soon be blocked. Or! You can't recruit students at all.

The specific tuition fee is only for the king, the nobles and the public schools to see. Because! After paying in installments, the exact amount of tuition is empty talk. The specific amount of tuition is just a gimmick, just a cover-up.

How much do you say I'll give? But I don't have any money now, so I can only give some of it first, and I'll give it when I have money later! Or! When I graduate, work, and have money, I'll give it back! Isn't it?

So! It doesn't matter if you set the tuition fee higher!

In order to get a source of students, after saying the specific fee standard, hurry up and remind me of the installment payment. Such! It is easy for others to accept it.

If you don't remind you in time, such a high tuition fee may scare away the parents of students. First report the specific tuition fee, and then propose a solution to the tuition problem. Such! Parents of students will be able to accept it.

Such! The problem of how much to charge is solved, and the source of students is guaranteed. But? What if all students don't pay tuition? You can't do it privately. You don't have the funds to stay afloat, do you? Isn't it?

So! After solving the problem of how much to charge and the source of students, Confucius and Min Shigong formulated a specific admission threshold.

Tuition fees can be paid in installments, but! On the first day of schooling, you must pay a certain amount of tuition fees. On top of this admission tuition, then pay in installments.

It's like buying a house in modern society: do you want to buy a house? You have to make a "down payment" first. With the money after the down payment, you can apply for a mortgage.

If you can't even afford a down payment, why don't you buy a house?

If you can't even afford a down payment, do you still have a book?

What is the down payment for admission to Confucius Private School?

After discussing with Min Shigong, it was finally decided: ten dried meat!

Why Ten Strips of Dried Meat?

Tojo dried meat is a basic gift for visiting relatives, and it is also a gift that can be taken by ordinary families.

Just like modern people visiting relatives and friends, you can't go empty-handed? Do you have to bring a gift according to local customs?

At that time, within the city of Qufu, ten strips of dried meat must be brought to visit relatives and friends.

As for how much does a piece of dried meat weigh? Then no one has verified it. A piece of dried meat should weigh a pound or two, right? Ten strips of dried meat should be more than ten or twenty pounds, right? Maybe not! At that time, people were very poor, and one or twenty catties of dried meat was not something that ordinary people could get.

It is estimated that it should be ten pounds!

In the past, the "ceremonial knife" meat used by rural people to go to relatives was generally two and a half catties, which was fresh meat. The heavy gift is a double portion, that is, five catties. Other than that! There are also gifts such as noodles and brown sugar, which are not just "knife meat".

The admission fee standard of Confucius Private School is stipulated as follows: according to Mr. Bai's standard! Do you want to enroll? You come to worship Mr. first! You have to bring the necessary gifts with you, sir. I accepted these gifts and will not return them.

When visiting relatives and friends normally, the gifts brought are to be "returned".

Return the gift! It's to give you some back. How many gifts you have given have come, and I will give you some in return on this basis. Take some and use what I need to spend to entertain you. Isn't it? The rest is what you really gave me.

And Confucius! Take this gift-giving standard as tuition.

If you can't even get gifts for visiting relatives and friends, it means that your family can't afford to send your baby to school.
