"If the Duke is willing to lower the requirements a little bit, I will definitely be able to recruit all the students."
The person in charge of the Admissions Office of the Military Academy is surnamed Song, and his name is Song Tie. Turning the corner, he could barely get a little relationship with Duke Zhu's mansion.
He is very wronged.
A big old man was scolded bloody, and his body and mind were severely damaged.
So when Zhu Guogong told him to "get out", he couldn't help but justify himself.
Zhu Guogong was furious, "Put your mother's shit on! Good health and physical fitness, isn't that a high requirement? Isn't this the basic requirement of being a soldier?"
Song Tie carefully added a reminder, "There are still two hundred literacy."
"What's so difficult about being able to read 200 years? You tell the old man, is it a requirement to be able to read 200 years?"
Zhu Guogong kicked the small stool over.
The little man was crying and chirping: I provoked someone, why did everyone kick me over.
Song Tie bite the bullet and said: "Most of the people are illiterate. Those men who work as coolies have passed the test of physical fitness. If physical fitness is the only requirement, let alone one hundred, three hundred and thirty thousand can be recruited. But once you add The requirement of literacy of 200, not to mention 3,000 men, is not enough to recruit 30 men. To achieve 200 literacy, at least a few days of private school, or do light work, or physical fitness is not enough. "
"You're an excuse! Elm head!"
Zhu Guogong's eyes seemed to be breathing fire, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Song Tie.
Hey, those scholars, one after another ghost ideas.
Why is it that the people around me are all straight-headed, and they don't know how to turn around.
Mr. Zhu Guo was fighting with his head and waving his arms, "Get out! No matter what method you use, you must recruit people within half a month. If you can't recruit people, the old man will not listen to any reason, and then I will just settle with you. "
Song Tie let out a wow, but didn't cry.
Afraid to cry!
How embarrassing!
He left the signing room, summoned his subordinates, and tried to find a way to recruit people.
When students enter the military academy to study, they have to check the three generations of their ancestors and make files.
So there is no way to cheat, and people who are serving in the military cannot be pulled over to make up the number.
If it is required to recruit students from the private sector, it must be recruited from the private sector.
Several cobblers failed to top Zhuge Liang. Just being able to read 200 words stumped them.
Song Tie drooped his head and walked out of the office building.
I met Gu Gong on the road.
Gu Gong had just returned from the school field, covered in sweat.
The two greeted each other.
He had already passed by, but Song Tie suddenly thought that there were scholars in the Gu family, so he probably had a lot of ideas.
"Brother Gu, wait a minute."
"Brother Song, what can I teach you?"
Song Tie twitched a bit, and explained his difficulties, "... It's not difficult for a hundred people who can pass the test, and I can pull them over in a day. The key is that I still need to be able to read two hundred, which stumps me. Brother Gu, can you do anything?"
Gu Gong looked at the other party, his eyes seemed to be looking at the mentally retarded.
Song Tie was confused, "Brother Gu, why do you look at me like that?"
Gu Gong coughed twice, "Brother Song, can you read?"
Song Tie nodded again and again, "I can read!"
"Brother Song, how long did it take to write two hundred characters?"
Song Tie scratched his head, "About half a year to a year. I don't remember what happened many years ago."
puff!
Gu Gong couldn't bear to look directly at him.
No wonder Song Tie didn't think of a way, so he is a scumbag!
Learning scum thinking, of course, can't handle this matter.
Gu Gong took care of the other party's face, and reminded implicitly, "Brother Song should know that someone can learn two hundred characters in half a month."
"Know 200 characters in half a month? Impossible!" Song Tie, a scumbag, denied it without even thinking about it.
They are all rough old men, with such clever heads, they don't need to be soldiers. Go directly to Zhixing Academy next door to study.
Gu Gong coughed and coughed twice, and said: "If you want to go to the Zhixing Academy next door to study, you must not only be able to read, but also be able to write articles. In addition, knowing two hundred characters in half a month means that you only need to know about fourteen characters a day. Brother thinks it is so difficult. For a person who can really read, it takes two or three days to know two hundred characters. To be honest, Brother Song, when I was young, I knew two hundred characters in half a month, and my father reprimanded me Stupid, not suitable for reading."
This time, Song Tie looked irritated.
"Knowing 200 characters in half a month, being dismissed as stupid? Then what is it if I know 200 characters in half a year?"
"Well... In our Gu family, we are probably only qualified to work in Zhuangzi."
"you you you… "
Song Tie pointed at Gu Gong and said countless times about you, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Damn, it's too bullying, not so exciting.
Gu Gong continued to attack him and let him recognize the world of scholars, "The stewards and servants around my father are all required to be able to write and count, and understand policy theory. The servants around my brother must not only be able to write and count, but also require Can understand official documents. Even the maids around the sister-in-law must be able to write and count. As for the people around the empress, it's no problem to try to be a scholar."
I can't talk today.
Song Tie has lived for more than 30 years. Today, his outlook on life and the world have suffered a subversive blow.
He thought reading was difficult, but being able to read and write was great.
Well, this is not wrong, the majority of ordinary people is indeed the case.
But this kind of cognition cannot be applied to noble families.
For example, in the Sun family, it is not rare to be a champion in the exam.
The stewards who watch the gate can write beautiful articles.
Are you angry
Very angry!
The Gu family is not yet a scholarly family, and the servants around him must be able to write beautiful articles and serve others.
At this level, at least I have studied with my master for seven or eight years.
The rich family, the personal servant next to the man, must have this ability, and be able to enjoy the educational resources that others can't enjoy.
This is also the reason why everyone is overwhelmed by the job of a personal servant of a big family.
For the common people, education is a scarce resource.
For the children of rich families, education is only a basic resource. As long as you want, you can have it. By the way, let the servants around you also enjoy these resources.
So angry!
Song Tie's whole body is not well.
beep beep...
want to cry!
After feeling sad, he asked a question: "Well, how was Uncle Chengping's schooling?"
Uncle Taiping, Gu Ting, was an illiterate and illiterate man in the Gu family.
Gu Gong recalled the youthful years when he was studying.
"He's about the same as me. He doesn't know much about reading. He's relatively stupid. He can't pass the imperial examination. He can only serve as a soldier for food."
Song Tie: "..."
I no longer believe your nonsense.
They are all liars.
Song Tie has never had contact with Gu Ting, but he has heard of Gu Ting's reputation and claims to be illiterate.
He really believed it!
I believe that Gu Ting is really illiterate and can only know a few words at most.
As a result, the illiteracy referred to by others refers to the degree of inability to participate in the imperial examination.
It is completely different from the illiterate he understands, who only knows words.
Ok!
Compared with a family with rich background, compared with his three generations of mud legs, the gap is indeed obvious, like a natural moat, which can never be crossed.
He also learned a lesson today. Although he was hit hard and disheartened, but he was a good man after a meal of wine.
etc…
Song Tie's spirit flashed, stars appeared in his eyes, and he stared at Gu Gong with fiery eyes.
"Brother Gu, you have to help me! Without you, I will be dismissed by the Duke in half a month."
He grabbed Gu Gong's right hand excitedly, feeling excited.
He finally thought of a solution.
Knowing two hundred words in half a month is an impossible task for him.
But let Gu Gong handle this matter, and it will definitely be resolved.
Gu Gong snorted, "Do you want me to recruit students for you?"
Song Tie nodded again and again. Those who have read the book have good brains. He didn't say anything, and the other party had already understood his intention.
Gu Gong heheed twice, "Help you recruit students. The credit is yours. What good do I have?"
Song Tie asked: "What benefits do you want? Just ask, as long as I can do it, I will never be stingy."
Gu Gong said, "It doesn't matter what I want, the key is to see how sincere you are."
Song Tie frowned in thought, gritted his teeth, and said, "One hundred taels of silver! No more."
The corners of Gu Gong's mouth twitched, who the hell, he was sent away for a hundred taels.
"One hundred and fifty taels, really can't be more. Brother Gu, since we are Paoze and have fought back to back together, one hundred and fifty taels, please do me this favor. If you need me in the future Where I can help, I will never refuse."
"Okay!" Gu Gong reluctantly agreed, "How many students are you short of?"
"Sixty! I've recruited forty, and I'm only short of sixty."
The corners of Gu Gong's mouth twitched, and it was with great difficulty that he restrained his desire to complain about the other party.
"Give me one hundred taels first, and after half a month, I'll find you sixty ordinary people who can read and write."
"No problem. Enrollment is all up to Brother Gu."
The two happily reached a deal.
Gu Gong took one hundred taels, plus the hundreds of taels he had saved, left the academy and went directly to the sales office.
With the opening of the Military Academy and Zhixing Academy successively, the surrounding land has been gradually built into communities.
Picking and picking, looking at several sample rooms, Gu Gong finally chose a small second-entry house, plus a small second-floor building.
The small second floor is used for renting out, learning from others to earn rent.
The second time he enters the house, he lives by himself.
From now on, he is also a family man.
As for the family in the capital, he didn't bother to go back except to worship his ancestors during the Chinese New Year.
bother!
I paid the house bill in one go, and there was a little money left, which was just used to buy furniture and hire someone to look at the house.
At home in Beijing, the set of furniture in his yard can be moved over and placed in the second courtyard.
That's it!
The next step is to help Song Tie with the matter of recruiting students.
It's easy.
