"You want to learn the "Tiger Leap Sword Technique"?"
When the old man in gray robe heard this, his expression froze slightly.
As the chief instructor, he naturally knew very well that there were many young students in the academy who tried to practice the "Tiger Leap Sword Technique" in the past, but they all gave up later. Currently, only Yanhan still insists on practicing. He originally wanted to persuade Ye Chen to change
He was a martial arts student, but when he saw the excitement on Ye Chen's face, he thought for a moment and gave up the persuasion. It would be better to let this kid have a taste of the pain.
"The "Tiger Leap Sword Technique" is an advanced sword technique, but it only has six moves. Compared to other sword techniques, there are dozens or hundreds of complicated moves in the sword technique, so there are very few moves. You can practice with Yan Han in the future."
The old man in gray robe shouted to a young man who was practicing his sword alone on the school field, "Hanhan, come here!"
"Teacher Shi, what do you want from me?"
The young student put away his knife and walked over indifferently.
"This is your junior brother Ye Chen. He has just reached the fourth level of the body refining stage. From now on, he will train with you and teach him sword skills."
The old man pointed at Ye Chen and introduced with a smile.
"Why do you want a new person to practice with me? It's just a drag and a waste of my time! There are more than 200 junior brothers and sisters in the upper courtyard. Why don't you find someone else to take him?"
Yan Han frowned, looking very unhappy.
"You are the only one in this academy who has learned the "Tiger Leap Sword Technique", and you are the most proficient in it. Only you can teach him. If I hadn't practiced Shadowless Legs, there would be no need for you to teach him. Anyway, I leave it to you.
It's up to you."
The tone of the gray-robed old man left no room for doubt. After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and left, regardless of whether Yanhan was happy or not.
Yan Han didn't dare to quarrel with the head coach and glanced at Ye Chen coldly.
"Senior Brother Yan, please give me more advice!"
Ye Chen quickly handed over his hand with a sincere attitude.
"Today's morning exercise has ended, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Yan Han looked up at the blazing sun at noon, then left the school with a cold face.
...
The students of Beilu Academy are good at both civil and martial arts.
In the morning, I practiced martial arts and practiced martial arts. In the afternoon, I studied essays and read and learned literacy.
However, the Wu State valued martial arts over literature, and the only purpose of literacy and writing was just to be able to understand martial arts classics. Unless they wanted to become knowledgeable civil servants in the future, generally no one would spend too much time and energy on literature. Therefore, academy students can go
You can study by yourself in the bookstore, you can also go to the school to attend classes, or you can arrange your own reading time, which is more casual.
This morning's practice ended, and all the students from Beilu Academy dispersed from the martial arts training ground.
Ye Chen left the martial arts training school.
He didn't have much time to study essays, so he worked in the afternoons to earn money for his own cultivation.
After Ye Chen finished lunch, he hurried to the college's logistics yard. He was waiting on the stone steps outside General Manager Li's house with his hands hanging, ready to receive the handyman from General Manager Li. General Manager Li's title was not high, but he was in charge of Beilu Academy.
All the logistics and handymen assigned to him, for a poor student in the academy like Ye Chen, he is definitely a high-ranking figure in the academy.
Not long after, dozens of poor teenagers who were ready to receive the handyman jobs arrived at the handyman compound.
"Senior Brother Ye, you're here to pick up the handyman again!"
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Ye for suddenly entering the middle stage of body training. I hope that Senior Brother will give you more guidance and support in the future!"
These young students from the lower courtyard greeted Ye Chen warmly when they saw him, and then lined up behind Ye Chen. The students from the upper courtyard were all senior brothers and sisters in front of the students from the lower courtyard.
"Junior brothers, you will be able to enter the middle stage of body training sooner or later if you practice hard!"
Ye Chen smiled and nodded in response.
Many of the people who come here to earn money from menial jobs are poor civilians who are in the early stages of physical training. They have become more familiar with each other after meeting each other more often. But everyone is here for the menial tasks and has no time to talk about other things.
"Crunch".
The door opened.
After lunch, Manager Li came to the steps in front of the house with a full stomach and a thick book in his hand.
"General Manager!"
Ye Chen quickly said respectfully.
"Ye Chen, you are always the most diligent every time. There are no vacancies almost every day, and you are still at the front of the queue! You have earned a lot of money from working over the years. Is it enough to marry a wife?"
Manager Li couldn't help but smile when he saw Ye Chen in front of the steps again.
"The General Manager is joking. It costs too much money to practice everyday. I am so poor that I don't know how many years it has been since I married my wife. General Manager, what tasks do you have today?"
Ye Chen smiled and scratched his head.
Manager Li nodded, flipping through the handyman book in his hand, and said, "There are a lot of handyman jobs in the school today. You can pick one first! Big kitchen, fetching water, chopping wood, vegetable garden, door guard, and night chores."
More patrols, sweeping the courtyards, cleaning leaves on the roof tiles inside and outside the academy, and cleaning weeds inside and outside the academy. You can earn ten to dozens of coppers for each job. What do you want to do today?"
There are many chores in Beilu Academy, and poor students will be hired to do them to help support students' cultivation.
Ye Chen had been in the academy for nearly ten years, doing these chores every day, and the money he earned was used to buy herbs for cultivation and temper his physique. But as his cultivation level gradually improved, ordinary daily chores earned him more
There are too few copper coins.
"General Manager, I have reached the fourth level of the body refining stage today and have entered the upper courtyard. I need more money to buy herbs for cultivation. Which is the most profitable job? You know best, General Manager, please arrange one for me!"
Ye Chen said hopefully.
"Are you at the fourth level of the body training stage?... There is a new job in the academy that can earn a lot of money. This job was originally arranged for the academy teachers to do, not the students. However, you are now
The status of the students of the Upper School is similar to that of the teachers of the Academy, so you can do it as well."
Manager Li looked surprised, then said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Chief Manager, just give me your orders!"
Ye Chen was overjoyed.
He has a strong desire to practice and become stronger, but this requires money to buy herbs to temper his physique.
"This academy has recently purchased a batch of old books from all over the Wu Kingdom. There are several carriages with nearly 10,000 volumes, and they are piled up in the old library of the book pavilion."
"These old books are old collections acquired from some small bookstores and poor families in various places. They need to be sorted and sorted. Many of them are even damaged, even fragments and waste volumes. Those that should be sorted should be discarded.
discarded.”
"This is an extremely cumbersome job. For this reason, the academy has allocated a sum of silver to hire people to sort out these volumes. I will give you a month to sort out these volumes, and the daily reward will be one tael of silver."
"This is the handyman's token. You can take it to the manager Wang of the library and get the key to the old library."
Manager Li took out a token and gave it to Ye Chen.
"Thank you, Chief Manager! The disciple will complete the task on time within one month."
Ye Chen took the token excitedly and almost cheered in surprise.
This is the largest single amount of money and the longest time-consuming chore he has ever taken on.
"No way, making one tael of silver a day? Such a good job, senior brother Ye Chen has taken the lead! If I had known, I would have queued up earlier!" "Come on, he is a disciple of the Upper Academy, so he is qualified to go.
Take over the task of sorting out the library. We are all disciples of the Lower Court, so we are not qualified to take it on!"
The students from the Lower House who were waiting in line at the back to receive the chores from Director Li all had their eyes widened and almost shouted out of jealousy.
General chores in the academy can only earn dozens of coppers a day, and no more than a hundred coppers at most. Mentoring jobs such as organizing old bookshelves that earn one or two grains of silver a day, equivalent to a thousand coppers, have never been done.
Had.
And he could still work for a month and receive a full thirty taels of silver.
This is a great gift for the poor students in the academy.
Of course, Ye Chen came to Beilu Academy at the age of five, stayed in the academy for ten years, and worked as a chore for a full ten years before he had such a relationship with Manager Li. Otherwise, Manager Li would not have been able to
Leave such an important job to Ye Chen.
...
"Guard Wang, my disciples have been ordered to sort out the books in the old library."
Ye Chen took the handyman token and went to the academy pavilion to find Manager Wang.
Beilu Academy has only one book pavilion.
It contains a large number of literature, military, geography, historical documents of the Wu Kingdom, as well as the most precious martial arts classics.
Borrowing books in the library requires a per-book fee. The basic martial arts on the bottom floor are relatively cheap. The advanced martial arts on the top floor are ridiculously expensive. There are a lot of guards inside and outside the library, and masters in the late stage of physical training are on duty to prevent theft.
Ye Chen rarely borrowed books here and was reluctant to part with copper coins.
Under the library, there is an old library. There are a large number of old and unorganized books in it, but ordinary people cannot enter. The key to the old library is in the hands of Manager Wang, who is in charge of the library.
"How can General Manager Li ask a student to sort out books?...Forget it, since General Manager Li asked you to come, just go to work."
Manager Wang knew that there might be something fishy going on. The prices given when hiring a teacher to work and hiring a student to work were different, and the difference could be several times. Manager Li was probably using this to enrich himself, and he was not good either.
The way to make money is to be Mr. Li.
