"As for the cost of listening to the lectures of those great scholars and masters, you don't have to worry. After all, your Majesty will give me a large sum of money every month, and there are also some rewards during holidays.
In addition, we can use our free time to help the farmers in the village sell vegetables, or ask the stewards to take over tasks to help the village sell meat and vegetables in Chang'an City or nearby prefectures and counties, or to
You can help check the accounts in the village, or you can go to the city to do part-time work.
Anyway, as long as I am not lazy and just do part-time work for the villagers or villagers, I can earn at least several hundred cash every month..."
By the time the servant finished talking to the maid, Qiu Shuye and Cen Xugang were stunned again.
They never expected that just the servants and maids in King Jin's Courtyard would learn to read, read, and do arithmetic. Moreover, they would be able to earn so much money every month.
The only trace of pride they had in their hearts as scholars was immediately shattered into pieces.
Moreover, when they recalled the group of Jin Prince's personal guards along the way, they couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
"I dare to ask you two, are the king's personal guards as well as you, able to read and do arithmetic?"
"It's natural!"
The servant and the maid chuckled lightly, "As the king's personal guards, there are more than a thousand of them, at least 800 of them. They are all proficient in reading and writing three thousand characters. As for arithmetic, they are also proficient in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of thousands of digits.
!”
As he said this, the two servants and the maid couldn't help but think of something, and said again: "In addition, you gentlemen also need to know that the villagers, especially the young men in their families, can also read and write, especially those with
They are even more familiar with texts related to crops and vegetables.
They are all very proficient in accounting and accounting..."
At this time, the intuitions of Qiu Shuye and Cen Xugang kept roaring in their heads, and they were completely shocked by the two servants in front of them.
They never thought that an hour ago they thought they were coming to a small village where the noble Prince Jin of the Tang Dynasty lived. The village was dilapidated and the villagers were ignorant!
But now, they discovered that they were the most ignorant people.
In fact, they now have some doubts. Confucian disciples who claim to have read the books of saints for more than ten years can read as many books as these servants?
Similarly, the more than forty scholars in the surrounding rooms also had the same expression.
"Okay, it's getting late. It's time for you to have your meals. Please tidy up, and I'll take you with me!"
The two servants and the maidservants had no idea how much the introduction they had just made had affected the pride in the hearts of the gentlemen in front of them.
"This will help both of you!"
Qiu Shuye and Cen Xugang quickly raised their hands and saluted.
Afterwards, I tidied up randomly.
Then he followed the two servants and the maid in front of him and walked out of the building.
At the same time, all the scholars in the building, led by servants and maids, left the dormitory building and went to a large room on the side of Jinwang Courtyard.
When they entered the cafeteria and saw the meals prepared by the chefs in the cafeteria, the scholars once again widened their eyes with disbelief on their faces.
It is so rich, not only fragrant steamed buns, but also white rice, as well as a variety of fragrant meals and meats.
Just smelling the aroma of the food, the bellies of all the scholars started to scream like thunder!
Except at some banquets, they have never eaten such rich and delicious dishes since they were young.
"May I ask you two, are these things we can eat?"
A scholar pursed his lips and asked cautiously.
"It's natural!"
A maid next to her chuckled lightly and said, "You can eat as much as you like from the food in the cafeteria. However, you can take as much as you want, and no food should be wasted.
Moreover, after eating, you need to wash the dishes and chopsticks you used in the sink nearby and put them back in their original places!"
"Gulu!"
"Gulu..."
After the maid finished speaking, the sound of swallowing saliva suddenly sounded throughout the dining hall.
The scholars, who were still a little reserved at first, could no longer bear it any longer and directly followed the maid's instructions and began to serve the food!
Later, a group of servants and maids followed behind, serving themselves a bowl of rice, a steamed bun, and several dishes, and then finished eating.
Then send these scholars back and teach them how to use those faucets.
At the same time, servants also sent him stoves and charcoal, and taught him how to use the stove.
After everything was arranged, he returned to the general manager Li Chang to resume his duties.
That night, the fifty-two scholars lying in their respective dormitories lay on the bed, excited until midnight, and then fell asleep!
Li Xuan, on the other hand, embraced nephrite early and fell asleep early!
The next day.
After three poles in the sun, Li Xuan looked satisfied.
After washing up and eating the meal brought by the maid.
Li Chang appeared in front of Li Xuan on time.
"According to your observation, how are the fifty-two scholars that the king brought back this time?" Li Xuan asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I have not noticed how talented these scholars are. However, these scholars must be from poor families. They have never seen anything!"
Li Chang replied quickly.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly, "Those who can brave the cold weather and walk along the cement road must be from a poor family."
"Hehe, that's true!"
Li Chang laughed sarcastically and said again:
"Your Majesty, my old servant discovered that although these scholars all look honest and honest, there are dozens of them who are not as simple as they appear on the outside!"
"No problem!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly again, "As long as they don't cause trouble in the village and don't cause trouble in the village, let them go!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Chang responded.
"Have any of them complained about my king's extravagant behavior?" Li Xuan suddenly asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, this person has not been found so far!"
Li Chang was startled and quickly replied.
"That'll do!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "What are those scholars doing at this moment?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, those scholars are now going to the fields and watching from the glass greenhouses one by one!" Li Chang replied.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly and ignored it.
However, Li Chang looked puzzled.
"The old servant is puzzled. In Chang'an City, and even in the entire Guanzhong area, there are countless young talents who want to come to Lijiazhuang, but the king doesn't like any of them. And there is nothing special about these poor scholars, why should the king give them to them?
