Jinyang County.
Jinyang belonged to the Hedong Road and was the administrative center of Bing State, a thousand miles away from Chang'an, the place where the Wang family was located.
The Wang family had been influential for a thousand years, and their impact on Jinyang, Bing State, and even the surrounding states had long been deeply rooted, even above the court itself.
Apart from the official schools of the court, all academies in Bing State were funded and constructed by the Wang family, who also spent a great deal of money to hire teachers of the Six Arts.
The court-run official schools still required high tuition fees.
However, the Wang family's academies did not charge any fees, and their students received a considerable subsidy every month.
In addition, the materials they needed for study—ink, paper, brushes, and inkstones—were all provided by the academy for free.
