In the Ming Dynasty in history, how much did it cost a rich man to buy a university ?

In the Ming Dynasty in history, if a wealthy person wanted to buy a "university", he needed to spend almost 100,800 stones, that is, between 354,000,000 yuan.

According to the data in the "History of the Ming Dynasty, Food and Goods Zhi II", in order to obtain the admission qualification of Guozijian, the highest in the Jingtai period (1449-1457 AD) was 800 stone meters, and the lowest was 300 stone meters. During the Chenghua period (1464-1487 AD), it stabilized at 100 stone meters.

The highest number of places to obtain a prison student was 800 stone meters, and the lowest was 300 stone meters, and during the Chenghua period (1464-1487 AD) it was stable at 100 stone meters. According to the current ** of one pound of rice dollars, 100 stone rice needs 35,400 yuan, and 800 stone rice needs 10,000 yuan.

The "county party secretary" of the Ming Dynasty wanted to spend money to let his children become college students in Guozijian, a key national university, and it would take about 10 years of all his salary income.

Taking the standard of the fifth year of Tianshun (1461 AD) of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty as an example, 20 horses were required for each index.

Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty created a precedent of "Nasu Nama", which means that as long as you hand over more grain to the country, you can get the opportunity to go to the country to study.

Guozijian is the first palace school of the imperial court, and it takes "eight hundred stones" to enter the country, so "eight hundred stones" became the standard, so it continued to decline later to attract candidates and expand the source of students.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, attached great importance to education. In 1365, before the whole country was unified, Zhu Yuanzhang opened the first national key university of the Ming Dynasty in Yingtianfu (now Nanjing) - Guozixue.

In ancient and modern times, it is not uncommon to buy and sell diplomas. For example, the common college enrollment indicators are thriving in Guzhi Bochadai. Due to the rapid accumulation of funds, it even became a means for the imperial court to make up for the deficit of the national treasury.

Some people think that the university system was created by Westerners, but it is not. In ancient China, there were also institutions of higher learning, but the philosophy and mode of running schools were different, and it was not popular to call them universities. The Chinese universities of the Shang Dynasty were called business schools; Zhou said, for the rule, the princes ruled, for the tribute; The Western Jin Dynasty was called Guozixue, and the Northern Qi Dynasty was renamed Guozisi; The Sui changed its name to Guozijian, which was a name until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

This university was really called a university in the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu. At that time, China's first modern university was born, Shi Jing University, the predecessor of what is now Peking University.

Just as a university is not called a university, college students in ancient China were not called college students. In the Ming Dynasty, students were generally referred to as students, and students studying in Guozijian were called Guo Jian students. Students are entitled to bursaries, which are paid for by the state treasury.

Because they are used to raise students, they call them Fu meals.

Guozijian is the ** court school of the imperial court. In the words of modern people Yinggao, it was a national key university in ancient China. Its students are higher than the current doctoral level, and its academic status far exceeds the national key universities determined by the current ***211 project.

Nowadays, it is difficult for college students to find a job, but I don't have this worry. Not only are they assigned work, but in many cases they are**. The Ming Dynasty stipulated that scholars who entered the court could get officials, and those who did not enter the court could not get officials.

In other words, if you go to the Guozijian, you can be an official, and if you don't go to T, you can, I can't climb up.

Imagine, who doesn't want to study at Bao Dangguan's university? As the saying goes, if you learn and excel, you are not as good as everything, but this is probably the reason for reading high!

It is said that money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible. It can be said that money was very important in that era, and even a person who could not read could get into a good university through money, which has existed since ancient times. In the Ming Dynasty, as long as you can go to university, you must be able to become an official position, so in the Ming Dynasty, buying a university with money became the goal of many people.

In the Ming Dynasty, when money was used to buy universities, the people who collected the money were the imperial court, because it was to make the treasury strong. As for how much money can be bought into a university, his value is different during the different reigns of the Ming Dynasty. In Zhu Yuanzhang's time, because the treasury was unusually empty, and there was still a war, there was a shortage of soldiers, horses and food at that time.

Therefore, if you want to enter a university at that time, you can use a certain amount of food or horses to enter the university.

Later, as the state gradually stabilized and the economy developed, the cost of buying a university with money increased. Begin to unify the goal of **income** the cost of the university, **the university also has different levels of fees, such as the regular class and the kind of audit class fee standards are different. The highest** charge is 800 stone meters, and the lowest is 300 stone meters.

If this ** is calculated in modern RMB, more than 100,000 catties of rice and more than 40,000 catties of rice, it can be seen that the charging room is very expensive, and the rice production at that time is still relatively low.

There is simply no way for the poor to spend money on this degree, and for the wealthy, it is actually a big expense. But being able to go to university at that time meant being able to become an official in the imperial court, and the career was bright in the future. Therefore, although it is high, many families have invested heavily in order for their children to enter college.
