What County Magistrate Cui did was more than just build granaries.
County Magistrate Cui casually led the way, "coincidentally" passing by a school building. From inside came the clear sound of young children's reading aloud.
Jiang Shaohua glanced over and exclaimed, stopping in her tracks: "Is this not a private school?"
A black plaque hung at the entrance of the school, with the words "Ye County Academy" written on it. The writing was elegant and clearly the handiwork of County Magistrate Cui.
If it were a private school, it would never dare to hang such a plaque.
As expected, County Magistrate Cui replied calmly, "Back to the Commandery Princess, this is an academy built by the Ye County government. The county government provides the silver, hiring five scholars as teachers. Any child over six from Ye County can come to study, continuing until the age of fifteen."
"The academy does not charge tuition fees and even provides the children with a midday meal."
