Chapter 987: Changing Careers
His father's persuasion finally swept away the gloom in Guo Jincheng's heart, he drank two glasses of wine with his father, and Guo Jincheng said to his father: "Daddy, I don't really want to teach in the school." ”
"Why?"
Guo Song smiled and asked, "Could it be that this matter has a haze in my heart and I don't want to face it anymore?" ”
"Not exactly, I know Qiao Shuigen, he is a very strong child, he will definitely return the silver to me."
"You have to worry about this, after recovering the silver, Wang Yue will convert it into copper coins and pay it back directly to the creditor, repay the debt for them, and let them handle the funeral with the extra money, Qiao Shuigen will only be grateful to you, but he has no money to pay you back."
"But ......"
Guo Jincheng didn't know what to say, this incident did have a shadow in his heart.
Guo Song patted his son's shoulder and said with a smile: "If you don't go, you won't go!" Your mother gave me an account two days ago, and reminded me that I had found an errand more suitable for you. ”
"What did Mother say?"
"It's just some trivial things about firewood, rice, oil and salt in the newspaper, it has nothing to do with you, don't ask, come with me!"
Guo Song pulled his son out of the restaurant, at this time it was time for dinner, the crowd on Xi'anmen Street was surging, the father and son did not take the carriage, but walked slowly along the flow of people, there were guards in front and behind, nervously following them.
"Cheng'er, what do you think of Xi'anmen Street?" Guo Song asked with a slight smile.
Guo Jincheng thought for a while and said: "This problem has been discussed by our classmates. ”
"Oh? What do they say? ”
"They said that the East Market and the West Market only sell goods, there is no place to eat, drink and have fun, Pingkangfang is lively, but it is not suitable for the whole family to travel, Xi'anmen Street is very suitable for a family to eat and play, so business is booming."
"What do you think of it?"
"I ....."
Guo Jincheng scratched his head and said for a while: "I think it seems that there are fewer places for children to play, if there are more things that children like, such as building a garden, raising some tigers, leopards, etc., there will definitely be many children begging their parents to play, and it will be even more lively here." ”
Guo Song couldn't help but touch the back of his son's head, worthy of his own son, he was really smart, and he actually thought of the zoo.
"It makes sense, but you don't need to raise it here, the smell is too stinky, it's best to put it in Weiyang Palace, anyway, you have to pass through Xi'anmen Street, and you just want to bring up the business in the north."
The biggest problem of Xi'anmen Street is that the south side is lively, the north side is deserted, people walk to the Guanghuamen in the middle, watch the military play, visit the various vendors on the square, and go back directly from the other side of the river, and will not continue to go north, so that the business in the north has been relatively deserted.
At present, the solution I think of is to make music squares, gambling halls, green buildings and professional shops in the north, but these shops can not be placed along the street, but can only be hidden on the back, mainly for fear of affecting the atmosphere, so that many families are reluctant to come to Xi'anmen Street again.
Unexpectedly, my son's idea solved this problem that had plagued Xi'anmen Street for several years, to set up a zoo to attract children, and the parents would follow, and the business of the shops along the street would improve.
In fact, it is not only a zoo, but also a children's amusement park, riding wooden horses, swinging, sliding slides, playing in water, playing in sand, building blocks, etc.
With a zoo and an amusement park, why worry about business in the north? For a while, Guo Song was thinking about it.
"Father! Father! Guo Jincheng reminded his father in a low voice.
Guo Song returned to reality from his imagination, he looked at the front and said with a smile: "We have arrived!" ”
There is a very large building in front, connecting the East Side Street with the East Second Street and the East Third Street, and there is a gold-lettered signboard written by Guo Song himself on the gate: "Chang'an Express".
This is where Guo Song wants to find an errand for his son, isn't his son more introverted and silent? Then let him be the writer, that is, the reporter of later generations.
Two days ago, his wife Xue Tao told Guo Song about the expenses of the low-level people, which made Guo Song suddenly think of his son, if he let his son enter the newspaper and then investigate the lives of the low-level people, wouldn't it be better than teaching to achieve his own goals, exercise his eloquence and communication skills, and let him understand the lives of the low-level people more thoroughly.
Thinking about this, Guo Song thought about finding an opportunity to talk to his son, but he didn't expect his son to take the initiative to say that he didn't want to teach, which was in Guo Song's arms.
"Would you like to let you go to the newspaper to do something?" Guo Song pointed to the newspaper hall and said with a smile.
Guo Jincheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded again and again, he likes novelty things, he reads newspapers every day, but he never thought that he could become a member of the newspaper office, and what he wrote could also appear in the newspaper.
A guard went to inform the newspaper first, and the chief steward Li Lian and the chief judge Du Chong were very nervous when they heard that King Jin was paying a private visit, and hurriedly arranged a secluded place, which was Guo Song's request, many newspaper pens knew him, and he didn't want to expose his son's identity.
Guo Song took his son directly to the second floor from the side door and walked into a small meeting hall, where there were no other people, only Li Lian and Du Chong, and the two hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"You're welcome, I'm coming here today, don't talk about business, it's better for us to relax."
The four of them sat down, Guo Song pointed at Guo Jincheng and said with a smile: "This is my eldest son, called Guo Jincheng, please take care of me!" ”
When the two heard that it was the prince, they were immediately in awe, but they didn't expect Guo Jincheng to get up and salute them, which suddenly made the two of them a little at a loss, "This... There's no need for this, please take a seat! ”
Guo Song smiled slightly: "My son is studying in Taixue, and he has time every afternoon, so I plan to let my son use the afternoon time to experience a year. ”
Li Lian and Du Chong glanced at each other, and there was an unbearable excitement in their eyes, isn't this just accompanying Shizi to study? Cultivating a relationship with the prince of the world, what a great opportunity for them to be!
Li Lian hurriedly said: "Your Highness is too polite, of course you can, I don't know which column the prince wants to put pen to?" ”
Guo Song said slowly: "I want to arrange him in the people's livelihood column." ”
Li Lian and Du Chong immediately understood that this was to let the prince understand the people's suffering!
"We get it, and we'll make sure it's done."
Guo Song said: "From now on, my son's name is Xue Cheng, and he has joined the newspaper for a year, and he is treated the same as a normal writer, no need to be special, but it is best to let him go out for a walk often." ”
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will arrange it."
Li Lian suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "......What about the security issue?"
"Don't think about security, someone will contact you."
Guo Song smiled at his son again: "You generally use a pen name to write an article, and you can consider what pen name to use, but for your first article, I suggest you write about the idea of opening a zoo and a children's amusement park in Weiyang Palace, which is a good subject." ”
Guo Jincheng hurriedly said: "The child understands! ”
Guo Song talked about it, then got up and said: "I'll go first, and you will go back by yourself in an ox cart later, and when you go out to cover news, there may be an assistant who will follow you at any time, this is his duty, don't make it difficult for the family, understand?" ”
Of course, Guo Jincheng understood what his father meant, that is, he meant a personal guard, he nodded, "The child won't!" ”
Guo Song immediately stopped Li Du and the two to say goodbye, and he went downstairs by himself.
.........
Guo Jincheng's next things were mainly arranged by the chief judge Du Chong, who took Guo Jincheng to the lobby and introduced him: "Our newspaper is divided into two parts, one is spelling, correction, printing, procurement, and newspaper distribution, called the outer hall, and the chief manager Li Lian is in charge, you saw it just now."
Then the second part is the pen and the detective who write articles, called the inner hall, which is in charge of me, and our inner hall is divided into four levels, and the highest is called the chief judge, that is, me.
Then there is the main writer, that is, the person in charge of the ten columns, the third level is called the writer, and the son is the third level in the future.
The fourth level is to report to the detectives, the largest number of people, responsible for all kinds of probing news, they make money by probing the news, sometimes the pen has to go out, the main thing is to confirm the accuracy of the message, but not every news has to be confirmed, only the selected news will go. ”
Speaking of this, Du Chong suddenly found that there was a silent person behind Guo Jincheng, where did he come from, he didn't even notice it, he was not tall, but he was a bit like a ghost, he obviously saw his existence, but he felt that he did not exist.
Du Chong immediately guessed that this should be the personal guard of the prince.
Guo Jincheng knew this guard, who was his father's personal guard, and it seemed that he also came from Kongtong Mountain.
After all, he is the son of the world, and he is used to having guards around him, he doesn't care, Guo Jincheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "I want to know, how much money can I earn every month?" ”
Du Chong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the prince to ask this question, he thought about it and smiled: "The penman is the same, the first two months of coming in, three times a month, from the third month, six times a month, in addition to a car and horse allowance and lunch allowance, both of which are consistent money every month, that is to say, after two months, the son can get eight yuan a month." ”
Guo Jincheng sighed secretly, he went to teach, and he only had the usual money subsidy every month, and the newspaper's money was still really generous, no wonder so many people flocked to it.
Although Guo Song repeatedly explained that he could not be specialized, Du Chong was still a little special, others sat in the hall all day, Guo Jincheng only came for half a day every day, and in the end, he only had the same attendance allowance as less than others, of course, here Du Chong has the final say, whoever dares to disagree will directly let him get out!
Du Chong brought Guo Jincheng to a table and said with a smile: "This is your table, you will come here every afternoon in the future, and tomorrow Liang will tell you the specific requirements for writing articles." ”
The lobby was noisy and noisy, Du Chong clapped his hands, "Everyone be quiet!" ”
The lobby suddenly quieted down, and Du Chong introduced to everyone: "This Xue Gongzi is our new writer, join the people's livelihood column, the son's name is Xue Cheng, from the Xue family in Taiyuan, everyone is welcome!" ”
Du Chongwei was afraid that his subordinates would deceive the world's young people, and a sentence from the Xue family in Taiyuan made all the pen sticks look up to the mountains.
The lobby erupted in applause.
