Zhang Shou returned to Beijing yesterday, and the scenery was infinite, but today he suddenly killed Guozijian regardless of his vacation, and a group of people in the doctor's hall were naturally nervous for a while. And when Zhang Shou came over, he first went to see Zhou Xijiu and Luo Siye, and after they had a very happy conversation, the group of doctors and teaching assistants outside who pricked up their ears heard Zhang Shou clearly about the second phase of enrollment in Jiuzhangtang, and they gradually became at ease.

When Zhang Shou said goodbye and left, a doctor in his early thirties in the doctor's hall breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Anyway, if you want to toss, you will continue to toss Jiuzhangtang, and it doesn't involve the mess of Liutang." As long as you don't have another Xie Wanquan, that's fine. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that there was no sound around him, and he suddenly chuckled in his heart, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, and that he should not mention the taboo name.

Sure enough, the next moment, he heard a faint voice: "Can you not mention that kid?" People are now in Lu Shangshu...... Ahem, Lu Saijiu's Daming School is like a fish in water, and many poor young people enter his door, all of them are proud and hold their heads high. Do you know what the people say about him? An upright man who does not hesitate to break with a division commander with poor conduct and destroy his future! ”

"Dr. Zhang has been running around for several months, and as soon as he comes back, he comes to Jiuzhangtang to check his homework and watch his homework, and you stay in the Guozi Prison all day long, but you don't care about your students, but gather here to gossip, isn't it too idle?"

Luo Siye suddenly came out of the back room and reprimanded, once again suppressing the discussion outside. It's just that no one squeaked what Luo Siye said.

In these days, Mr. Xixi, who is invited by the wealthy family, or the private school teacher who accepts a few students to teach at home, does regularly assign homework to students, and then read them carefully, comment and guide them.

However, when it comes to the level of the academy, because there are more students, most of the teachers will only select the students they value for detailed guidance, and ordinary students may not get a review once a year.

And when it came to Guozijian...... I also want to know that in the heyday, there were four or five thousand or more people in the highest academic institutions, from the sacrificial wine and the priests, to the doctors, teaching assistants, and scholars in the doctor's hall, and then to the small officials in the following halls, and there were no more than fifty people in one piece! Of these 50 people, more than half of them are engaged in pure management work, and the rest of them may not be enough to teach, and they still change their homework?

What's more, after the reform of Gaozong, the doctors of various disciplines appointed by Emperor Taizu became doctors of the Five Classics...... Those doctors who came out of the field generally only talk about what they are good at, and after the lecture is counted, who has the time to read the articles of the inmates one by one? You may not be able to watch it for a few days and nights!

Therefore, there is no suspense that Guozijian was completely defeated by those academies in terms of cultivating talents in the past. How can a large pot of rice schools with thousands of people, or more than half of the prison students who are trying to get a name for themselves and then go on errands, compare with those private academies with as few as a few dozen people taking the boutique route and as many as hundreds of people taking the extensive route?

This is also the difference in the composition of the personnel of the Banshan Hall and the Jiuzhang Hall, which are almost semi-independent of the original Guozijian, so Zhang Shou can let go of the toss with the support of the emperor. Anyway, it will not shake the foundation of the sixth hall, but now that the mid-levels hall is divided into one hall, the number of people from the first hall to the third hall has decreased sharply, and the original huge house has been given to the frank hall, and most people have nothing to say.

As for competing with Zhang Shou, with Yang Yiming's painful lesson in front of him, who will go and have trouble with Zhang Shou again?

Zhang Shou didn't know that his sudden killing of Guozi to supervise his homework would cause a lot of trouble to the doctors and teaching assistants.

After inspecting his own territory, leaving the country to join Ah Liu, and retrieving the horses, he took Ah Liu to Lu Juan's Daming Public School. Because he only learned from Lu Sanlang yesterday that when he left Beijing, it was only a public school with a plan, and it not only had a place to run a school, but also the first batch of students.

In a place like the inner city of Beijing, where every inch of land is valuable, Lu Sanlang, a powerful father, not only got a piece of land with a house, but Zhang Shou also saw that on the new archway at the gate, the four-character dragon and phoenix dance of Daming Public School, and the inscription was impressively covered with the emperor's seal - as for how he recognized the small seal, because the owner of Zhaoming Pavilion had five words, and the word given to him by the emperor was also covered with the same.

Xie Wanquan, who heard the news, was not as depressed as before, and he was full of energy. He told Zhang Shou that Lu Juan happened to go to discuss sponsorship with several clubs, and then took Zhang Shou to inspect the house with a smile, and then talked about autumn recruitment.

And when Zhang Shou heard the words elementary school and middle school in his mouth, he thought of the message he passed to Lu Juan through Lu Sanlang, and he suddenly had an indescribable emotion. Of course, what he was even more embarrassed about was Xie Wanquan's gushing introduction.

"Elementary school only teaches arithmetic such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and reading and writing, because they are all poor families, I wanted to go to class once every five days in batches, half a day each time, but because even seven or eight-year-old children have to help work at home, so even if reading at night hurts my eyes, oil lamps or candles, all cost a lot of money, so after discussing with me, Lu Saijiu decided to hold some evening classes......"

"The reason why arithmetic doesn't teach division is because most people don't use it on a daily basis. And if they are gifted in arithmetic, once the students who come to teach part-time classes in Jiuzhangtang find out, they will select additional people and fund them in various forms such as scholarships......"

"Now the first batch of 300 primary school students has been recruited and classes are rotated. In middle school, Lu Saijiu felt that he might not be in a hurry, because without a complete primary school education, the gains of opening middle school classes would outweigh the losses...... In fact, the most important thing is that there are no textbooks. ”

"The first and second volumes of Ge's arithmetic are fine, but I looked at the back, starting from the scores, the difficulty increased sharply, and I felt that it was probably not suitable for children who just want to be literate, able to count, and get a good job. After all, many people are not even from a poor family, let alone a student. ”

took Zhang Shou around and talked a lot, until his mouth was dry, and Xie Wanquan realized that most of what he just said was playing big knives in front of Guan Gong and showing off blindly...... Because a large part of this was told to him by Lu Juan, as for Lu Juan, it seems that according to Lu Sanlang, he still learned and sold it from Zhang Shou.

He coughed a little wryly, feeling that he seemed to be a little carried away, after all, if it weren't for the inmates of the Jiuzhang Hall who took turns to teach, he wouldn't have been able to keep himself busy at all. But before he could speak, he was almost choked to death by Zhang Shou's next sentence.

"Did Lu Saijiu ask you, did Xie Sheng ever get married?"

Xie Wanquan blushed, and was about to skip this topic quickly, but suddenly thought of Lu Juan's heartfelt and meaningful attitude when he talked to him several times, and couldn't help but be stunned. It won't really be like what Zhang Shou said, right? Lu Juan didn't appreciate his talent, but appreciated him for something else? But then he thought of a more important question.

Lu Juan has three sons, but he doesn't have a daughter!

He couldn't help but complain: "I can't imagine that Dr. Zhang, such a serious person, would actually make jokes!" ”

"I'm not joking, men should get married, women should get married, do you dare to say that you never thought about catching a son-in-law in the first place?" Zhang Shou deliberately continued to tease, seeing that Xie Wanquan was so embarrassed that his face turned red, thinking of the arrogance when this guy and Tang Ming ran to Rongshui Village to find him in a rage, he only felt that the young man in front of him was actually quite cute.

In other words, he doesn't seem to be qualified to say that he is a young man...... He's a few years younger now, well, continue to pretend to be tender......

Zhang Shou not only ridiculed, but also said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me, you cut off your robe with your once nominal teacher before, which will inevitably affect the wind and criticism, even if the people are towards you, but you must know that those who write history books and write literati notes are readers." You have to at least train your students to be on the table, so that they can stand up to public opinion. ”

"So, before that, since Lu Xijiu values you very much, you might as well ask him to help you solve your life's problems. In this way, you can dedicate your life to the great cause of Daming Public School. ”

Even though Ah Liu, who was standing outside the door, had never been smiling, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth at this time, thinking that his young master's temperament was really impossible to say. It seems that he is tolerant and generous and does not hold grudges, but that is because the enemy will be eaten to death in the blink of an eye! If you are a fool like Yang Yiming and don't mention it, look at Zhang Chen and Zhu Er at the beginning, and Xie Wanquan now?

When Zhang Shou flickered Xie Wanquan into a daze, he agreed to personally compile Chinese textbooks suitable for primary school students - the word Chinese was also said by Zhang Shou - and then handed over to Lu Sanlang's bookstore for printing, and he was satisfied and left.

As for the trivial matter of not seeing Lu Juan, he didn't pay attention to it at all - it's better not to see it, the scheming Lu Juan, it is much more difficult to deal with than Xie Wanquan, who is as tender as a green onion! It would be better if someone overheard him and reported it to Lu Juan.

And when he took Ah Liu out of the huge archway of the public school, he couldn't help but look up at the sun that had passed the middle of the sky, and then remembered that because he ate breakfast late, Ah Liu also carried a bag of vegetable buns when he came out, so he came to Guozijian and Daming Public School successively, and completely forgot about lunch. Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Ah Liu.

Near Zhu is red, close to ink is black, Ah Liu is now a competent food seeker.

"Ah Liu, at this time, do you know where there is still good food?"

"There are many restaurants that provide food and drink for the twelve hours in the capital, but there are not many delicious ones." Ah Liu thought about it very seriously, and then his eyes lit up and said, "Among those guild halls in the outer city, there are a few good shops. Moreover, because there are many merchants and scholars who come and go, they keep the stove fire for twelve hours to cook, so go there and have a look? ”

Zhang Shou was originally just trying to tease Ah Liu, but when he heard the young man mention the hall, he remembered the shopkeeper Hua who had already presided over the Suzhou hall. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go out of the city and find a guild hall for lunch." ”

However, Ah Liu did not agree immediately, but asked seriously: "Aren't you going to call the eldest lady together?" ”

"I've missed lunch for a long time, and I'm going to look for her again, this is to call someone for afternoon tea?" After Zhang Shou teased, he couldn't help but think seriously that when he was in Guozijian, he often used tea to supplement his consumption during the break between two classes in the afternoon. That being the case, afternoon tea seems to be a good way to push it among the right crowd......

There is also afternoon tea this year, but most of them are Chinese dim sum such as cakes, sweet soups, candied fruits, and steamed snacks. It is said that although milk tea is high in calories, it may be very suitable for girls' tastes...... But although milk green is good, milk tea seems to be black tea? By the way, the export sales of tea are large, and now there is black tea? But when it comes to black tea, black tea seems to go well with European cake biscuits.

I was about to go for a belated lunch, but Zhang Shou, who thought of the English afternoon tea in my mind, rode the horse all the way out of the inner city. If it weren't for the fact that there was a Ah Liu next to him who controlled the direction, he didn't know where he would go. As for the eager gaze of some big girls and little daughters-in-law along the way, he had long been accustomed to ignoring them.

And Ah Liu has long been accustomed to Zhang Shou's irregular distraction, so he directly grabbed Zhang Shou's reins in his hands. It wasn't until the so-called guild hall area where the provincial capitals gathered in the outer city that he found the location of the Suzhou guild hall in a moment, but after a slight hesitation, he pulled Zhang Shou's horse and stopped outside the Yangzhou guild hall opposite.

He threw the reins of his horse to a confidant who greeted him, and then turned around to help Zhang Shou dismount, and saw that his young master was still pondering there, and he didn't even have time to look up to look at the signboard and went straight inside.

At this time, it was already past the meal, and there were only two or three tables of guests on the first floor of the hall, which was originally a huge place for the tea house. Most of them were merchants and scholars who lived in the guild hall. And when he saw two guests coming in with raw faces but no luggage, a young man knew that he was here to eat, and immediately rushed over with a smile, but he was stunned by Ah Liu's name of the dish before he said a word about the old guest exit.

"Crispy fish noodles, soup dumplings, shrimp roe wontons, tofu skin buns, sanding buns, sugar lotus root, ......"

After reporting the names of the eight dishes in one go, Ah Liu stretched out two fingers to the stunned young man: "Two portions of both." ”

As soon as the young man heard it, he knew that the person was really an old guest who had come here, but looking at the situation in front of him, the master and servant were probably sixteen or seventeen, and they were not tall and strong, he couldn't care about whether the master and servant were in line with the same table, and couldn't help but remind: "Old guest, I'm afraid you can't put down two servings of this table, can you really eat it?" It's a shame if it's wasted. ”

It wasn't until he heard the word waste that Zhang Shou came back to his senses. Without hearing the previous conversation, he said disapprerovingly: "The two of us have a very good appetite, you just do it." ”

However, seeing that the young man resignedly answered, and saw that several tea customers not far away were all peeking at him, Zhang Shou felt that something was wrong. But Ah Liu's face was calm, he could only secretly think that it didn't matter if he had this big stomach king in his pocket. However, after waiting for a long time, he was finally startled when he saw three men serving food with long plates full of fills.

Ah Liu, this kid, what are you trying to do? When are they pigs? Can two people eat so much?
