Chapter 116 My name is actually Xi Zhong, Zhicai is the pronoun
"This is what happened!"
Zhu Han's face was a little dry and the corners of his mouth were twitching. He really couldn't answer this question, so he had to turn his attention to Xi Zhicai and ask him for help.
Xi Zhicai also found it quite funny. He and Zhu Han were still discussing Pei Yuanshao's affairs just now. Now it's better. People come directly to ask for help. When he saw Zhu Han's pleading eyes, he also raised his eyebrows slightly and raised the corners of his mouth.
With a smile on his face, he seemed to be saying, 'How about it, are you embarrassed? You didn't do it for me to be an official, now it's fine, I'm going to ask for an official myself!'.
"Brother Yuan Shao, when a man is alive, can he keep his word and stick to it till the end?"
Seeing that Zhu Han was about to get angry, Xi Zhicai stopped teasing him and asked Pei Yuanshao.
"That's natural!" Pei Yuanshao replied without thinking: "If people have no faith, how can they survive in the world?"
"That's right, brother Yuan Shao, you have an agreement with my family first. We'd better abide by that agreement first, right?"
Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "The Analects of Confucius once said, 'Words must be believed, actions must bear fruit!', 'A gentleman's righteousness is pledged, etiquette is followed, Sun is used to deliver, and faith is fulfilled.' Wait for the agreed deadline.
When that time comes, brother Yuan Shao, whether you want to leave or stay, we can't stop you. If we assign you a position now, wouldn't you be helpless? If you don't tell Brother Yuan Shao, it will also make things difficult for my family.
Not sir!"
"Zhicai, can you speak more clearly? Why am I so dizzy after hearing this?"
Pei Yuanshao didn't like to use Wenjue characters the most. He would get dizzy as soon as he saw a book. He had somewhat understood it, but now after hearing Xi Zhicai's words, he felt that he didn't understand it.
.
"Oh, Zhicai, why are you making so many twists and turns? Look, you've even confused my brother Yuan Shao!"
After Zhu Han waved to Pei Yuanshao to sit down, he smiled and said: "Actually, Zhicai just quoted an ancient saying, and the meaning is not difficult to understand. Let's put it this way, Yuan Shao and I have an agreement in advance. We also agreed at the beginning that you
Guard me for one year, and I will let you leave to find Zhang Jiao. As the saying goes, a man's spit is like a nail, and whatever he says is what he says. Since we have made an agreement, how can I give you an official position? To put it bluntly, wait for this
One year is up, you have to go find Zhang Jiao, and I can't stop you then!"
"But what if I don't go to Zhang Jiao anymore?" Pei Yuanshao hoped that Zhu Han could retain him, but this tall and thick man didn't know how to express his thoughts.
"When the time we agreed upon comes, Yuan Shao, if you don't want to leave Jing County, I will give you a position, and we can start a career together, okay?"
How could Zhu Han fail to understand what Pei Yuanshao meant? He would naturally welcome someone to seek refuge with him.
"Okay, then let's make it a deal!"
After getting the answer he wanted, Pei Yuanshao left the Yamen directly without stopping too much.
"Sir, that's not bad! How many months have you been here in Jingxian County? There are already people willing to join us!"
Xi Zhicai was naturally happy to see such a result, but after looking at Zhu Han's flabby look, he couldn't help but tease him.
"Okay, okay, I'm worried!"
Zhu Han didn't intend to argue with Xi Zhicai here. After today's meeting, he realized how incompetent he was. In the past, when he managed a team, he only needed to attack in one direction and ignore the rest. Something happened.
There is a tall man who can support him, but now, he has to take care of the food, drink, and urination of the people in the entire county. He is both a father and a mother, and it is more than one word that can be summed up.
"Zhicai, to be honest, our yamen system is not good and needs to be changed!"
After Zhu Han wondered for a while, he said: "Look, everyone doesn't have a specific office location, let alone that. We are poor and can make do with it, but now we are about to start sowing.
We need to change the focus of our tasks. First, organize the people to work hard to complete this spring planting. You can quickly calculate how many farm tools, cattle we still need, how many people we need, etc. We can't put aside the matter of setting up private schools, etc.
After the autumn harvest, there is a slack time for farming. At that time, we can just start school. I must fulfill the promise I made to the soldiers and not let them bleed or shed tears!"
"Establishing a private school? Sir, are you serious?"
Xi Zhicai rolled his eyes and replied angrily: "There is only one private school in our county, and it is not big. If you want to set up a private school, have you chosen the location? Have you found the books? Mr.
Is it okay? Are the students coming from rural areas or cities? How big of a private school should we establish?"
"There is actually a private school in our county? Who founded it?"
Zhu Han was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that there would be a private school in the city. Today's knowledge is monopolized by wealthy families, and family education is also a family-style education. In this era, it is important to cherish knowledge by oneself, and knowledge is not easily passed on to others. Otherwise,
It is impossible for children from poor families to get ahead, and nobles from aristocratic families to inherit titles. This is a conventional method to fool the people and rule them.
Therefore, people who can open schools outside are definitely selfless people. Zhu Han is also willing to make friends with such people, and maybe they can help.
"It's in the east of the city. It's called 'Moxiang Academy'. The lecturer is called Mo Chen, and there are only about ten students!" Xi Zhicai replied angrily: "Sir, what are you looking at? The imperial court
We still attach great importance to the establishment of private schools. If it weren't for the constant natural and man-made disasters in recent years and the people not even having enough to eat, private schools would still be very prosperous!"
"Prosperity? I can't see it! As far as I know, all kinds of classics and classics are collected by aristocratic families from all over the world. Everyone cleans the snow in front of their own door, but they don't care about the frost on other people's tiles? I believe it is a family inheritance.
!" After hearing this, Zhu Han curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Even if you open a private school, it must be just one of the means of making money for those aristocratic families. They only let the students read, read, and learn some common sense. Zhicai
Aren't you from a poor family? Tell me about Yingchuan Academy!"
"Academy? How could they establish an academy?" Xi Zhicai seemed to be reminded of the past, and he replied a little lonely: "The Xun family is in charge of Yingchuan, so that place is naturally full of outstanding people, and the trend of private education is the most popular.
But as you just said, sir, the most they can do is teach students some common sense. If you want to learn real skills, you have to become a disciple! But the Xun family are all talented and knowledgeable people, and they have a high vision.
It's very clear that people with bad family backgrounds (people who have committed crimes in the family), people who are frivolous, people who are lazy, timid, people who talk nonsense, people who are not well-mannered, etc., are unlikely to be able to become a master. I also went to the trouble in the beginning
Only with the strength of the boss can I become a disciple of Mr. Xuan Xing!"
"Who is Mr. Xuanxing?"
Zhu Han asked in confusion.
"The divine monarch Xun Shu had eight sons, namely: Xun Jian, Xun Nuan, Xun Jing, Xun Tao, Xun Wang, Xun Shuang, Xun Su, Xun Min, known as the Eight Dragons of the Xun family. Three of them, Xun Jing, had the pseudonym Shu Ci.
, named Mr. Xuanxing. My teacher is rich in knowledge and knowledge. However, I don’t like court affairs and live in seclusion all my life. It was only by chance that I was lucky enough to become his disciple. And all my talents and knowledge are from my master.
Taught."
Xi Zhicai explained.
"Zhicai, since you have a famous teacher, why don't you have a name for yourself?"
Zhu Han asked, confused.
"Haha, I actually call him Xi Zhong, and his nickname is Zhicai. To the outside world, he calls himself Xi Zhicai!"
Xi Zhicai told the truth.
"Then why did you lie to me that your name was Xi Zhicai?"
Zhu Han rolled his eyes and asked angrily.
"Have I ever lied to you? My surname is Xi, my given name is Zhong, and my surname is Zhicai. You are right to call me Xi Zhicai! Sir, do you still remember the first time we met? You said you are a dignified county.
You actually call yourself Zhu Hansan in front of a talented person? At that time, I thought you were using a fake name to deceive me! But to my surprise, this name turned out to be real!"
Xi Zhong muttered something to himself and then replied angrily.
"I...this..."
Zhu Han was speechless. He waved his hand and said to Xi Ni: "Forget it, forget it. This matter is over. Since Zhi is your cousin, I will call you Zhicai from now on."
, how about you call me Boyun?"
"You are the boss, so what you say is what you say? Isn't it nice for me to call you "Sir"? Doesn't it make you look more respectable in front of outsiders?"
Xi Zhicai was stunned when he heard this, and then teased with a half-smile.
"Haha, doesn't calling us like this make our relationship closer?"
Zhu Han scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment.
The longer he stays with Xi Zhicai, the more Zhu Han realizes that this person is indeed not a simple person. Although his methods of dealing with people are still a bit immature, his wealth of knowledge is genuine. No matter where such a person goes, he will be vying for money.
Zhu Han sometimes feels that he is too lucky to be the one he is trying to attract, and sometimes he wonders if he is really being given the halo of the protagonist.
"I don't have the habit of Longyang, Boyun, please respect yourself!"
Xi Zhicai pulled the chair to the side and chuckled.
"You kid, are you still pretending to me?"
Zhu Han was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a while to react. Then he jumped up and put his arms around Xi Zhicai's neck, laughing and scolding: "Young master, I have a fiancée, how can I still have the habit of Longyang? It's you."
Boy, look at you, you are older than me, yet you still don’t want to have a wife, start a family and start a business?”
"If your ambition is not fulfilled, why do you want to make a home? I'm not like you, who can't move when I see a woman!"
After Xi Zhicai broke away, he joked: "Bo Yun, you haven't experienced sex between men and women, have you? Do you want me to give you some advice?"
"How dare you, a man without a wife, dare to talk to me, a man who has a wife? Let's wait until you get a wife one day!"
Zhu Han didn't plan to continue talking nonsense with Xi Zhicai here. He wanted to find Zhang Ning to get some information, and then ordered: "I'll trouble Zhicai to go to the Moxiang Academy and see if you can
I persuaded the Confucian scholar Mo Chen to come to teach. We will provide money and he will provide people to make the school larger. He will teach everything from children's enlightenment to knowledge learning, and I will also pay him a salary. In addition to teaching, he
Don’t worry about anything.”
"Oh, I'll do my best!"
Xi Zhicai is obviously not optimistic about this matter.
"What? Zhicai, do you think it's not feasible?"
Looking at Xi Zhicai's wretched face, Zhu Han wondered.
"It's difficult, it's difficult. Just from the book perspective, it's impossible for him to agree to it, no matter how much money you give him to Boyun!"
Xi Zhicai sighed and replied.
"Go and ask first! If it doesn't work, we'll find a way. At worst, I'll edit the content in this textbook myself!"
In modern times, a Xinhua dictionary only costs ten or twenty yuan, and even a revised new version only costs twenty or thirty yuan at most. But books in this era can easily cost tens of yuan. As for the government-run Imperial College
, that is for the children of high-ranking officials to study. If ordinary people want to get in, just wait and wait. It is estimated that they can get in when they are forty or fifty years old. It can be seen that in this era, although private schools are popular, the knowledge is also very high.
expensive.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, I'm leaving!"
Zhu Han patted Xi Zhicai's shoulder to encourage him, and then left quickly, leaving only Xi Zhicai's handsome back.
"You look like a child, but the things you do are not like those of a child. I should fully support such a noble act!"
Xi Zhicai stood up slowly, stood with his hands behind his hands, looked at Zhu Han who had gone away, and murmured seriously.
