Chapter 139: Compromise
"It's you again." Cao Min saw Su Jin standing there with a steaming hot soup at a glance, and he didn't fight anywhere, two days after the start of school, this person made trouble several times, first made three pieces of flour cake as a gift for repair, and also made a word to teach himself to lose face in front of the main courtyard, and then scared the people in the same room at night to shout that there were ghosts, disturbing the peace of the school, this time it was him who made trouble in the dining hall, Cao Min felt that this person was a whole worker, and he didn't give him some color to see if he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick.
"Hello Lord Cao." Su Jin put down the wooden spoon and saluted.
"What are you doing here? Did you also suffer from night-time wandering? Cao Min said lightly.
"Back to Lord Cao, the students are not suffering from night travel, but just seeking justice for themselves."
"Oh? What's wrong with that? Let's hear it. Cao Min's black eyebrows jumped, and his eyes stared at Su Jindao.
"Master Cao, the student would like to ask, should Tianfu Academy have any restrictions on the family background of the bachelor's student."
"Hmm...... Do you still have the right answer to this question? You are not a relative of the emperor, nor are you a descendant of an official eunuch, but you can study in this academy, doesn't that mean something? ”
Su Jin smiled slightly and said: "What Master Cao means is that all students in my academy are treated equally, then the students are strange, why are the meals all different, this is not a slap in the mouth, how can you treat everyone equally?" ”
Cao Min laughed, and when the laughter stopped, his tone became gloomy, and said: "Su Jin, I see that you are not very old, and there are still a lot of stewards, this academy is an official school, and within three years, it will be promoted to the national eunuch, and when the time comes, the children of the official eunuchs will have priority to enter and study, and the scholars with civilian status can't even touch the door, you just caught up with the good time, otherwise you don't even have the opportunity to stand here and talk to the official, and I am not grateful to Dade, but I came to fight for your ridiculous discrimination, and persuade you, what you eat, The food is not so tasty. ”
Su Jin heard that his words were wrong, and there was a kind of style of suppressing the small with the big, not giving a positive solution, but doing his best to be sarcastic and insulting, and suddenly hit him angrily, and said: "Lord Cao's words are really out of identity, Yingtian Academy is an official school or a government school, what does it have to do with me?" Even if it becomes an official school tomorrow, it is also a matter of tomorrow, and if it is not changed, one day it will need to uphold the principle of treating everyone equally, and if you want to do what the adults say, why should we allow ordinary people such as me to go to school and study? ”
Cao Min said: "Can this official explain the reason to you in detail?" This official heard that you hurt people, and this time he came to settle accounts with you, but he didn't come to listen to your ramblings. ”
Su Jin said: "If you don't say it, you can guess it below, it's nothing more than those things that can't see the light." ”
Cao Min's face changed greatly, and he pointed at Su Jin and said: "Young man, you have to be more careful when you speak, you don't have to be careful, but you will get into trouble, and the official will not blame you for talking too much, after all, there are still some differences in knowledge and experience at a young age, this time you splashed people with hot soup, and scalded the two of them in the same window, I think you still apologize and invite Lang Zhong to help them treat." ”
Su Jin said with a smile: "The students didn't say anything, Master Cao couldn't come to teach the students a lesson, as for apologizing to the two people, this matter was categorically impossible, they stepped forward to commit murder first, and I was a powerless scholar who had no choice but to defend himself, but he wanted me to apologize to them, which is reasonable." ”
Cao Min's good temper and patience finally ran out, and he sneered: "Then don't blame the half-official for not giving you affection, today you are openly making trouble in my academy, and you also burned the two of you, how can the academy keep you, this professor hereby orders that you will be expelled from Yingtian Academy, if you want to make trouble, go outside to make trouble, rotten wood is difficult to carve, the holy land of the academy, how can you be such an unruly person." ”
Su Jin said without showing weakness: "I know that this is the result, and it is not uncommon for the master to stay in this bird academy, so black and white, there is no place for the day, the master should not stay for a moment; After I leave the academy this time, I will make everything in Yingtian Academy public, and I will have a teacher-student friendship with Master Duanzhou Bao in the next, and the first person to tell him is him; I also have several relationships with Lord Yan in the middle of the court, and I will also repair the book to tell the whole story of this matter, and see if anyone can manage the affairs of this academy. ”
Cao Min was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "You mean Lord Yan Shuyan and Lord Bao Zhengbao?" How do you know from them? ”
Su Jin laughed secretly in his belly, this method of pulling the tiger's skin to make a big banner really worked, and it was really an official who crushed people to death above the officialdom, and when he heard that he was older than his own official, he immediately softened his tone.
"How to know, you don't have to report it to Lord Cao, if you don't believe it, you can go to check the admission document to see if the person who is guaranteed under is Lord Bao; Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, since you were expelled from the academy, there is nothing to say, so I will leave. Su Jin arched his hand and squeezed out of the crowd with a single move.
Cao Min hurriedly said: "Wait! ”
Su Jin stopped and turned around and said, "What do you command?" ”
Cao Min twisted his beard and kept turning in his head, thinking about the truth of what Su Jin said, Su Jin's two people Cao Min is really a little vague, Bao Zheng is a well-known man, although the official position is not big, but the reputation of nosy people is spread all over the Great Song Dynasty, Su Jin's guarantor has Bao Zheng, this matter should not be fake, because this matter can be found out when you turn around, Su Jin is stupid, and he will not lie about this matter.
But just Bao Zheng knows, it is not enough to make Cao Min frightened and retreat, although Bao Zheng is currently the prefect, but Cao Min's teaching official is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and it is simply a subordinate relationship that cannot be beaten by the eight poles, not to mention, Cao Min is still suspected of being a member of the Ministry of Rites, although he is only an official from the fifth grade, but the size is also a Beijing official, even if the official position of an official in a foreign city is several levels larger, it is polite to meet, the reason is very simple, the relationship between officials at the feet of the Son of Heaven is complex and entangled, it is a mouse, and he can't beat it if he is afraid, Because this mouse is very likely to lead to a large man-eating worm.
Cao Min was worried about another person, there was the third envoy Yan that Su Jin said, although he suspected that Su Jin was bragging, but this kind of thing was still credible or not; Besides, the mountain chief said a few days ago that he had already written a letter to invite Lord Yan to come to the academy to give a lecture for a day, with the relationship between Qi Shanchang and Lord Yan, this matter will definitely come to fruition, in case what Su Jin said is true, the day Lord Yan came, it was the day when he Cao Min lost the black yarn.
Cao Min was even more worried that Su Jin threatened to repair the book to inform Yan Shu of the affairs of the academy, and he knew his own affairs, Cao Min had made a lot of money in the academy, not only the money for the students to repair twice a year, but also the money allocated to the academy by the imperial court every year, which was originally used for the daily expenses of the academy.
For example, the food of this student, according to the regulations of the imperial court, is a daily meal of ten cents per person, and the food expenses of hundreds of people are gathered together, and there is nearly sixty yuan of money every day, which is enough for the students to eat fish and shrimp and drink broth; But in order to intercept the money, Cao Min directly cut off half of the money, so that the food was naturally stretched, so Cao Min came up with such a bad idea to let the children of the official eunuchs enjoy the food of ten literature, while the other nearly seventy percent of the scholars from poor or ordinary families could only eat thin pieces of meat and rotten maggots.
Cao Min has insight into people's hearts, he knows that the food of the children of the official eunuchs must not be deducted, in case any official who can't afford to provoke him initiates a ruthless attack, he will suffer by himself; The children of ordinary people are different, they naturally don't dare to complain when they eat free meals, and even if someone complains, Cao Min is not afraid, so it has caused this situation of eating separately.
The children of the official eunuchs naturally didn't bother to think about these unfair things, because in their opinion, this was the embodiment of their sense of superiority and satisfied the vanity in their bones, while the poor scholars were just as Cao Min expected, daring to be angry and not daring to speak, and some poor people were grateful for the free food on the contrary, so they had nothing to do for more than a year; If Su Jin doesn't make trouble today, I'm afraid that no one will ever come forward in this matter.
Cao Min thought about it, he must not take risks, it is better to stabilize Su Jin first, and when Lord Yan Shu is lecturing, he will listen to the relationship between the two of them, if there is really something to do with it, he will be careful when he sees this Su Jin in the future, if Su Jin lies, hehe, some of him suffers.
After making up his mind, Cao Min immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "Don't leave yet, how about taking a step to speak?" ”
Su Jin said: "What can't be made public?" I'm still hungry, I don't want to eat fish, but I don't like to eat those maggots and flies, so I have to quickly respond to Tianfu to find a restaurant and spend a few dollars to fill my stomach. ”
Cao Min's face was embarrassed, and he secretly scolded Su Jin for not knowing how to lift, but he had no choice but to crappy into Su Jin's side and whispered a few words in Su Jin's ear in an inaudible voice.
Su Jin frowned and listened to Cao Min's words, turned his head to look at Cao Min, and suddenly burst into laughter, all the students were stunned when they saw Su Jin's presumptuous appearance, and those old students who had been studying in the academy for a long time were even more shocked, in their impressions, they had never seen a student dare to be so profligate and not take Cao Min in their eyes.
