Chapter 2454 Worry

   "No rush, you can arrange this matter as you see fit." Ye Muyu asked about this matter, mainly to see if Song Hongshi was suitable for teaching and educating people, and she got a satisfactory answer, so she didn't pursue it further.

   "Is there still enough money in the account in the school?"

"Not too much." Song Hong was a little guilty, because the school basically didn't accept money, and only a small part of the expenses had to be borne by the parents of the students, but they were all ordinary people in the capital. Take it out, and let them understand that the goodness of the school is limited, and it is impossible for them to give and ask for it.

   "Let me take a look at the ledger." Ye Muyu calmly put forward the request.

  Song Hong hurriedly got up and went to find it on the bookshelf, then handed the ledger to Ye Muyu.

  He is not greedy at all, so he is not worried about Ye Muyu's audit.

  Ye Muyu read it quickly, and it clearly recorded the daily school expenses, food, teaching materials, and paper and ink expenses.

Although tuition fees are no longer needed, many students are still too poor to afford paper, pens, ink, etc., so they can only use the two sheets of A4-sized white paper provided to students every day in the cheapest school, and A small piece of soot ink a month.

   Students need to prepare it themselves when they are used up, and what is saved is naturally the student's own.

  Now there are two hundred and twenty students in the school, and the expenditure for a month's oil, smoke and ink sticks is a fixed expenditure of forty-six taels.

  Paper is cheaper, with a monthly cost of 22 taels. Ye Muyu’s workshop produces low-quality paper. Although it is not easy to use, it is a luxury for students from poor families to practice calligraphy.

   In addition, there are school books. Some books of different quantities are prepared and placed in the library. They can be lent to students for reading, but they cannot be taken away. They can be copied by themselves.

"I have an idea." Although Ye Muyu can support a few schools, if there are too many schools, it will be a big expense. After all, there is also the cost of hiring a teacher. After all, it costs at least eight a month. Ten taels of silver.

   This is only more than two hundred students. If there are more, it will cost more. Although she is willing to do good things, she still needs money to persevere.

  Because this is a long-term cost for my brother, not that it can be solved by donating a few thousand taels of silver.

"You go to the official office to report to the yamen, give money to report your thanks, thank these people for donating to the school, and then publicize the school by the way, showing that the school is doing good deeds, not for profit, if there are some unused books at home, or old Paper, damaged inkstones, etc. can be donated to the school, and the school will record it on the merit tablet." Ye Muyu wants the school to develop for a long time, he must first establish a reputation, and then, slowly, there will be More and more donations appeared, and by then, the school would not have to rely on her alone to support its long-term development.

"Ma'am, these adults really donated so much silver taels?" Song Hong's first reaction was that there was an extra donation of nearly two hundred taels in the school, and then he realized that Ye Muyu's move was actually intentional. For this reason, I can not only thank these adults, but also benefit the school.

   But immediately afterwards, he became a little worried: "It's just that ma'am, if this matter is publicized, the students in the school may have a bad reputation."
