Chapter 790: Earn a dowry for your sister
Speaking of which, Wu Zheng has to be blamed, for almost four years, he is unwilling to recruit Jiangnan scholars to enter the office, and under the repeated requests of Zhang Huangyan and others, he put forward the stipulation that scholars who want to enter the government must teach in the academy for several years.
In this way, these scholars heard that there was a way to enter the office, so they broke their heads and applied for jobs in the college.
Because it is the only way to enter the ranks, the General's Mansion does not have a hard and fast rule on the number of instructors, and this is good, in just a few months, from a few dozen instructors, it has suddenly increased to eight or nine hundred.
Fortunately, there is no need to pay salaries, and Wu Zheng specially stipulates that it is an obligation for scholars to teach, and they are not paid except for room and board.
It's not that Wu Zheng is stingy and refuses to pay salaries, but the college itself does not charge tuition, and the financial secretary pays all the expenses, and also provides students with a free lunch.
Therefore, although those scholars muttered behind their backs, they did not object, and in their hearts, they may have thought that this was an early investment before entering the office.
But in this way, the early teachers, especially those of Wu Xiaomei's level, have invisibly put pressure.
It's like the level of writing an essay, how can it be compared to the level of writing a thesis?
People have a mouth, quatrains and allusions come when they say, and on this side, if the level is not enough, it can't make do.
Although teaching children does not require too advanced knowledge, it is also forced by the environment.
Wu Zheng understood the reason why Wu Xiaomei was unhappy, so he comforted: "It's against them...... In this way, my brother will find two full of learning for you, let's learn it for two or three years, and then we will be ashamed to die of those bearded eyebrows. ”
Wu Xiaomei didn't react, and lowered her head slightly.
Wu Zheng couldn't get a response, so he had to find another way, "Or ...... If you are not happy to teach, then we will not teach, stay at home, and my brother will raise you ....... ”
Wu Xiaomei shook her head, then stuffed the clothes in her hand into Wu Zheng's hand, and said, "Dad, Simin, and Jinxuan are all teaching, and I don't want to be alone at home." ”
Wu Zheng can understand that the boudoir woman who originally didn't go out of the door and didn't step out of the second door, once she went out for a while, she couldn't control her temperament anymore and couldn't be quiet.
What's more, Wu Xiaomei has never stayed in the boudoir since she was a child.
Wu Zheng was distressed, and he really couldn't think of a way to help his little sister for a while.
You said that if you want to be a younger brother, take it with you, or go to the military academy, and toss it as much as you want, but the little sister is a girl, and this belt is not decent around you.
Although there are female teachers in the academy now, in the official mansion, this case has not yet been opened, and besides, Wu Xiaomei may not be able to do it for a while, and she doesn't feel the pressure brought by the people around her in the academy.
Wu Zheng touched the clothes in his hand, feeling a little guilty, "Little sister is not in a hurry, let my brother think about it, and see if I can find something else suitable for you to do." ”
Wu Xiaomei nodded and said softly, "Thank you, brother, I'll go back to the house first." ”
Looking at Wu Xiaomei's slender back, Wu Zheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and said to Wu Xiaomei's back: "Xiaomei's clothes are good, or ...... Open a ready-to-wear store to try, if you're not happy, what else do you think? ”
Wu Xiaomei's figure was stunned, and she turned around and said: "My brother is confused, now my brother is already the king of the county, and my sister is going to open a shop, which will be a shame for my brother." ”
Wu Zheng laughed and said, "Brother is not afraid, our Wu family doesn't have so many rules...... Sizzle. ”
This cow really didn't dare to blow loudly, and Daddy Wu was sitting in the middle of the house.
Wu Xiaomei pursed her lips and said: "But my embroidery workers can't compare with those craftsmen in Hangzhou, and I lose face if I don't have to." ”
Wu Zheng said: "You just say if you want to do it, if you want to, just do it, do it well, and say it differently." ”
Wu Xiaomei hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you ...... What does it mean to ask Daddy? ”
Wu Zheng stepped forward and said, "Don't, I don't want to listen to another night's lesson." ”
Wu Xiaomei bit her lip and said: "But the housing prices in Hangzhou are soaring, and it costs a lot of money to open a shop, how can you hide it from your father?" ”
Wu Zheng smiled, "Silly sister, my brother is the prince, this is just a bit of silver, my brother is out." ”
But I do feel guilty in my heart, for four years, I gave the Wu family's fields and shops to those people, and defeated the Wu family, although now Shaoxing Mansion has been recovered, but Wuzhuang's fields are still planted by the people who were rescued back to Shaoxing by Wu Zheng, and Daddy Wu has not even received a grain every year. So far, my father and sister live in this small courtyard, which is very different from Wuzhuang.
Wu Zheng is not without silver for filial piety, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he is rejected by his father.
Even when Wu Zheng wanted to prepare for Jiangnan College, his father was worried that the college was too big and the Wu family couldn't afford to pay for it.
People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.
Wu Zheng himself is the same, since the trace, the only property is twenty and a half shares of the money village (this refers to the Jiangnan money village, and the Chamber of Commerce money village is two different things, Wu Zheng does not account for any shares of the Chamber of Commerce), now the Jiangnan money village has a thousand branches, all over the north and south coasts, but Wu Zheng has not even gotten a tael of silver, all the dividends, all by Mo obsession to take care of, used to supplement the financial secretary's hole.
The so-called Wanguan huge wealth has been in his hands, and he does not have a penny in his pocket, which is the most appropriate way to describe Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng knows that there is no distinction between public and private, which is not a good phenomenon, but there is really no other good way at the moment, only expediency.
Therefore, the thoughts that emerged in Wu Zheng's heart at this time were even more firm.
You must gradually separate the public and the private, so that you and your family must also have a reliable family business.
Only in this way can we truly achieve that the public is public and the private is private.
Wu Zheng said to Wu Xiaomei: "As long as you are willing to do it...... You have to believe in yourself, of course, the most important thing is to believe in your brother, let's open it up, make a name for yourself first and then make money, and my brother will ensure that you will earn an unparalleled dowry within two or three years. ”
As he spoke, Wu Zheng laughed at himself, thinking about it, it was strange that a dignified county king was discussing with his sister to open a shop to make dowry money.
But Wu Zheng is very firm, he knows very well in his heart that this dowry can definitely be golden.
Wu Xiaomei was instigated by Wu Zheng, and she smiled: "But I can't compare to the craftsmanship of other old tailors." ”
"That's not right." Wu Zheng shook his finger and said, "Although the old tailors and old craftsmen have good skills, they are inferior to you...... Because they could never have a brother like me. ”
"Phew." Wu Xiaomei took a sip and was amused.
Just do it, Wu Zheng pulled Wu Xiaomei, and under the surprised eyes of Daddy Wu, Qian Jinxuan, and Zhou Simin, ran to the west wing of the backyard.
Father Wu was so shocked that the bamboo chopsticks fell to the ground, slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, look, what is this called?" ”
Qian Jinxuan and Zhou Simin glanced at each other and saw a strange look in each other's eyes.
The two said almost in unison: "Go and see? ”
"Then go check it out!"
