"I'm telling you about the same thing," Zhao Ming said, "This school Hanzhang established not only takes in all the children of suitable age from Yushan Hall, but also accepts children from outside who want to study. As long as they pass the assessment and sign the agreement, they can also attend the school."
"Hanzhang not only covers their two meals a day, but also rewards those with excellent grades every ten days. The books, brushes, ink, and paper they use are all free. Do you know what this means?"
Zhao Cheng, who only knew about teaching and had never thought about these things, asked in a daze, "What does it mean?"
"It means a huge expense," Zhao Ming calmly said, "Even a sage would not persist in doing something with no benefit. Why does Hanzhang spend so much to do this?"
Confucius accepted students and still had to take tuition fees.
Zhao Ming said, "Isn't it to make them serve her?"
