Chapter 249: Yan Xixi and One Hundred Thousand Taels
100,000 taels of silver is a lot of money.
Someone purchased a team of long-trained beautiful girls from Jiangnan and planned to bribe the elders, and they were all school flower-level beauties in the future, but they only cost five thousand taels of silver.
Yan Xixi laughed with him, if he didn't really have no choice, he wouldn't have run out of the imperial capital overnight, during this time, as long as the elders who walked around, even if they had no prestige, wearing undignified Qianshou clothes, (T-shirts and shorts, according to ancient principles, they were definitely poor, but some rich people really liked to wear them) went to various markets to walk back and forth to see the fresh so-called elders, and they were also approached.
So far, there are at least a thousand people in the imperial capital who want to be slaves to the elders, to be servants, to be daughters, all of them have hit a wall and returned, the saddest thing is a few poor worms who have been fooled, obviously there are so many people who can support their families, save money and live a good life, but they listened to something, the new court was established, the original eunuchs were not all driven out of the palace, sooner or later they must be looking for a new eunuch, if they castrated themselves at this time, and then entered the palace, can the position of the big eunuch be less, what Wei Zhongxian, the majesty of nine thousand years old is known to many people.
Obviously, they are all tragic.
For those who run to buy and sell or eat mixed rice in the imperial capital, how to get through the elder's door is simply a difficult topic, and the guy who boasted about himself with a fluke mentality that he had already opened up the world and found the elder's door, and before he even flickered the money, he had already been taken down by the people in Chaoyang District all over the imperial capital.
You can scold these elders for being unkind, but they still have that upright expression in their bones.
Zhou Zhiwei didn't even say anything about the money in the end, although the sable cicada could already touch the elder's arm, but it was always not close, in fact, this is also the habit of the elders, before the convenient physical examination service can not quickly check whether a woman has some suspicious diseases, it is very dangerous to eat wild food outside.
At the very least, the elders are self-aware, and they don't have the aura of the protagonist.
If there is no protagonist halo, Wei Xiaobao is destined to grow up in Lichun Courtyard, start from the turtle slave chair, and gradually walk to the pinnacle of life and become the turtle of Lichun Courtyard!
Without the halo of the protagonist, Zhang Wuji would have been killed a long time ago, and countless knights who were eager to replicate the countless adventures after jumping off the cliff and getting rich and getting rich have long been turned into fertilizer.
In case of some kind of strange disease, what should I do with my face?
However, this latest information is really interesting, Zhou Zhiwei knows that there must be a lot of new internal people behind this matter, the railway, it can be said that it is not a problem to make money every day, although those Confucian accusations about working the people and hurting money, and sparing the people's power are always as annoying as buzzing flies, but I have to admit that some aspects are good.
Of course, these people are destined to be tragic, for the simple reason that if you look at the railways of the industrial age from the perspective of the agricultural age, then the gap is really too big.
That's why they can't do it.
In the Ming Dynasty, due to institutional reasons, there was no big gentry as a backer, and a slightly larger business could hardly be done, and after a long time, it formed a big business to find a backer, and then occupy a certain place to make money, and it was good to divide the fat up and down.
Most of the salt tax, tea tax, and even other major items in the Ming Dynasty were accustomed to this.
As for some people's claim that by selling them that land they can honor the elders for generations, that would be ridiculous.
Zhou Zhiwei can't be mixed up anymore, for his future, he is also a senior director of countless boards of directors of the world's top 500 companies, and a man who can pry the rise of the NASDAQ with just a few words, what Shell, Wal-Mart, all can come.
Compared with such huge interests and temptations, asking Zhou Zhiwei to sell himself for so little profit every year is a bit cheap.
That's my dear family and friend, I have to pay for it, man.
Yan Xixi was a little discouraged, as in the past, these elders said all kinds of high-sounding words, but they were so unkind, where could they compare to those hungry ducks who had read the sage books for decades, and after being admitted to the Jinshi, they were basically hungry and crazy.
Even soon, he received a reception ticket for the Great Wall Hotel in the imperial capital, which is already an old way for the elders to give back to the banquet, neither the price drops, nor the loss is large, and by the way, it can also promote new food.
After coming and going, the elders can be regarded as earning, but they have the confidence to eat people and not be short of mouths for all kinds of entertainment outside.
In fact, this kind of hospitality voucher can almost be used as currency, and the elders do not have to do it themselves, but unintentionally inserted between the willows, and the merchants who come and go to the imperial capital like to use this kind of hospitality voucher to pay the bills, one person holds one, you can eat a simple meal at the same time, take a bath, according to the retail price is about 5 silver dollars, not cheap, but because of the ease of carrying, and every time you arrive in the imperial capital, there are always people who are willing to go to that palatial place to go around.
Zhou Zhiwei's work is still going very well.
For many counties all over Hebei have run again, at least each county has gone down to a village to check, at present, although it still maintains the past way of life, and there is not even a way to walk well, but one thing can be confirmed is that the recognition of the elders is very high, although they do not understand whether the current emperor is surnamed Zhao or Liang, but the current living situation is really good.
In the final analysis, what ordinary people want is to have enough to eat and live safely without threats.
In later generations, there was a wild Sanpo in Baoding, where the people were a group of soldiers who failed to resist the Qing Dynasty, in order to avoid the massacre, they took women to hide in the mountains, until the Anti-Japanese War period, after the guerrillas entered, a certain general said a few words, and explained the situation to these Ming remnants at that time, and actually recruited more than a dozen soldiers directly there.
It can be said that in the Ming Dynasty, although most of the Confucian scholars represented by the Donglin Party were outright capitulationists, the common people at the bottom were still good.
There are some good things that in the past two or three years, there have been no large-scale gangsters or large-scale unjust cases in Hebei, and this is a good thing.
Although countless Confucian scholars denounced those government-run schools for not teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, the elders said that it was a school dedicated to teaching craftsmen, and you couldn't control it and sent it away, as for the Four Books and Five Classics, I don't take the test anyway, if you like to teach your son to read those broken things, you can go.
Therefore, the elders' schools are still mainly low-level commoners and orphans, and at this stage, they can only open primary schools, and do not read any books or poems, and they are properly for the society to export laborers, and only those brightest children have the opportunity to enter middle school, which means a chance to ascend to the sky.
The data brought back by Zhou Zhiwei is generally clear, out of the imperial capital and Tianjin and a few other places controlled by the elders, there is almost no light of civilization, and its social form will not even change much from a thousand years ago.
Of course, the imperial capital is still good.
Under the current system of elders, especially the primary schools built in the cities, there are no winter and summer vacations.
In the old days, the school holidays were almost casual, and even the husband could rest for a few days when he felt tired, but during the wheat harvest vacation, it was for the little doll to work.
Primary schools do not teach any "useless" knowledge, any music, painting, all abandoned, in order to cramming enough knowledge into the heads of those children in a few years, basically literacy and accounting, as well as basic science and social knowledge, can read newspapers, but also learn some manual labor.
If it's a rural area, you have to be obsessed with a half-labor and return to the family, but the situation in the imperial capital is okay, first of all, the citizens are in a rising period, and they are still very supportive of learning some skills, and secondly, those things that children have learned, are really useful, at least settle accounts, and people who read all kinds of news have.
What they don't actually know is that if they study hard in this school, they will have the opportunity to enter a unique middle school in the world today, where the things taught are more profound, and they have already begun to arrange the predetermined positions, which is almost the future of the cadres, and those who can further their studies will have the opportunity to stay in school.
It's still that problem, a firm will, a hard heart, not everyone has.
When a person arrives in society and finds that he is powerless, he will remember what his teachers kept teaching at the beginning, that you have learned for yourself, not for others.
So, it's hard to say whether the education system of the elders is good or bad, but there is one thing, each side takes what it needs.
Many literati of later generations kept saying that they wanted to give people the opportunity to choose ignorance, but in fact, their own children were sent to the highest schools and the most difficult places to study.
If you choose ignorance, you have to choose to let people know what kind of price ignorance is and what kind of life it is to have knowledge.
The school will provide a meal at noon, which is not rich, but it is guaranteed to be dry and thin, and there is a boiled egg, which is also a welfare, of course, compared to the schools of later generations, these primary schools can be called hell.
I started reading at eight o'clock in the morning, I would take a 10-minute break every hour, and I only had half an hour of meal time at noon, and I was in the classroom until 6 o'clock in the evening, and I didn't arrange to go home.
There is no winter and summer vacation, one day off every nine days, which can be regarded as a tradition, and a test once a month can be said to compress and compress the educational tasks of the old time and space.
After a period of trial operation, basically all primary schools are out of the direct supervision of the elders, and only a few people occasionally check it, and then they continue to "produce" qualified backup, which is quite good from the perspective of large production.
When school is out, there are not many children who will come to pick up the children, and the streets of the imperial capital are very wide and smooth, and it is difficult to have any place to hide the bad guys.
This Yuqian Primary School is a relatively large one.
When school day came, a large number of students rushed out of the school gates, a few of them ran out of the school together, and even a few of them were cyclists and skateboards! It's almost a rampage, and it pours out all at once.
If you look at the clothes, they are all some loose sportswear, which is the only clothes that the elders can provide, but if you look at those tattered shoes, you can see that these children are not very high-born, in fact, the really rich people are still watching, hoping to learn the things that the four books and five classics are learned.
This is also the place where many wealthy families in Beijing are dissatisfied in their hearts, and they naturally have a lot of countermeasures, and their own private schools are naturally very simple, although they are not as vicious as reading disciple rules to their children, but they are all an attitude of resisting non-violence and non-cooperation.
In their opinion, all dynasties and dynasties need scholars to be officials, and the thing of scholars is actually the product of mutual praise, the so-called imperial examination is just a stepping stone, if you really get in, there is no way, and it is the life of the bottom for a lifetime.
As long as you hold on to your own power, in the end, don't you let the people who read poetry and books in? At most, he slowly grasped the new imperial examination in his hands, and then changed it little by little to the kind that the Confucian family was most proficient in?
In fact, all sides are full of hostility to this kind of primary school system, and the teachers in this school are surprisingly young, even if they want to find a Confucian student to fill the façade, it is also a rival.
As the flow of people gradually subsides, some children will pay for food such as pancakes or croquettes.
In the corner of the street, a car waited quietly on the side of the road, it seemed that there was no movement for half a day, in the imperial capital, this kind of whizzing car was basically driven by the elders, and no one went to watch, only a few soldiers with strict "political trial" could drive that kind of huge military vehicle, which could transport a lot of materials and people at a time.
Until there were not many people, another student came out of the school, she was dressed very cute, tied with a bow, over-the-knee stockings are very rare, when she got to the car, the door opened, she pulled it open, and then sat in skillfully.
She sat down and fastened her seat belt, just exposing most of her thighs, but she was so fair, and the man in the driver's seat suddenly said, "It's so cute, Natsuki still looks the most beautiful in a skirt." ”
"Yes, thank you, godfather."
She took an envelope, opened it slightly, but there were heavy silver dollars inside, lowered her head, and said: "Godfather, so much money, the school teacher only has so much in a month, I meet with my godfather three times a month, and I can get three hundred yuan each time, is it okay to take so much." ”
The man in the driver's seat laughed, started the car, patted the girl's white legs, and said, "No problem, of course this value is worth Natsuki." ”
"yes, I don't really understand."
As the BMW drove into the road, the two said no more, and the man withdrew his somewhat wet hand.
"As long as Natsuki is obedient, he will have more money in the future."
