Casting for a teacher is a big deal, not just if you want to vote, it depends on whether the teacher accepts it or not. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Confucian society pays attention to the three outlines and five constants, and worships heaven, earth, king, relatives, and teachers.

The teacher-student relationship is one of the important social relations in Confucian society, so the scholar-doctor class is very cautious about the determination of the teacher-student relationship, and once it is determined, it will almost never change, otherwise it will be unanimously rejected by all the scholar-doctor class.

And Li Mu is obviously an unstable factor, if he has some kind of relationship with Li Mu, maybe he will be implicated in the future, so even if Li Mu wants to worship Old Man Chen as a teacher, Old Man Chen may not dare to accept it.

But having said that, seeing that Li Mu has signs of "single-mindedness for good", Old Man Chen is still very happy, since Old Man Chen is the leader of the team, he naturally doesn't want this team of international students to make any trouble, if Li Mu can learn honestly from now on, it is naturally the best, if he can't, it's okay, anyway, the Qing government is casting nets everywhere to focus on fishing, and it doesn't require everyone to become a pillar of the country, as long as it doesn't add any chaos to Old Man Chen, then Old Man Chen is also thankful.

How could Li Mu not make a mess, as soon as he said two nice words, Li Mu began to complain again: "The student got a few envoys from Prince Alcohol a few days ago——"

"Stop, stop, that's not the son of the world, you can't talk nonsense, do you want to do it? Do you want the official to help you buy a ticket? If so, it's best to avoid respecting your mouth, and in front of everyone's eyes, how do you let this official bend the law for personal gain? Old man Chen refused with a righteous face.

"You don't have to worry about the ticket, what I want to ask is, does the bureau subsidize these servants when young children go abroad?" Li Mu suddenly made a surprise attack, only to make Old Man Chen so angry that his face turned pale.

"No—" Old Man Chen's tone was stiff, and he was no longer overjoyed just now.

"How is this good, I was alone and unconcerned before, but now I have so many mouths to feed, if I delay my studies because of this, it will be very bad-" Li Mu seemed to be talking to himself, but from the twitching corners of Old Man Chen's mouth, it could be seen that Old Man Chen was already extremely angry.

Li Mu's meaning is obvious, if there is no subsidy, there is no subsidy, since there is no subsidy, then I have to earn money, if I delay the major events of the imperial court, then I am not to blame.

"Well, Commissioner, if I also want to be fostered in a foreign family, can I also be a servant?" Li Mu continued to give Old Man Chen problems.

"Can't—" Old Man Chen squeezed a few words out between his teeth, apparently remembering some unpleasant memories again.

"Well, this is not good, that is not good, but I would like to ask the Commissioner, is His Royal Highness the Prince the same as me? Does His Royal Highness also need to be fostered under the fence of foreigners? If so, how will those servants of His Royal Highness be arranged? Li Mu's questions were like a barrage, and he only asked Old Man Chen speechless.

"I'll tell you again, that's not His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the Alcohol Mansion can't appear in our team, as for His Royal Highness's arrangement, naturally you don't have to worry, you just do your own thing." Old man Chen struggled for a long time and gave this answer.

"Oh, in that case, then I'll go and ask His Royal Highness the King of the Lower Counties." Li Mu turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop-" Old man Chen's head was as big as a fight again, of course he wouldn't let Li Mu leave like this, otherwise Li Mu might cause some trouble.

"You must obey the arrangements of the Young Children Overseas Business Bureau, and enter a certain family like the rest of the princes, this will never change-" Old Man Chen pondered for a long time before he said slowly, and the first sentence made the bottom line clear: "As for those domestic servants of yours, the Young Children Overseas Business Bureau can give subsidies as appropriate, but this matter cannot be made quiet, if I hear the slightest rumor, then you will ask for more blessings." ”

Old man Chen is also helpless, when he encounters such a ruffian guy as Li Mu, Old Man Chen can be regarded as unlucky.

"This is natural—" Li Mu understood and immediately promised Old Man Chen.

In fact, Li Mu is not resolutely opposed to joining a foreign family, as long as Li Mu can have a private space of his own, Li Mu will be satisfied, this is not difficult to achieve, as long as the old Yan Tou and they find a place to live, Li Mu will also sit back and relax.

Naturally, there was another bargaining full of copper smell, and in the end, Old Man Chen exchanged the price of 26 US dollars per month for Li Mu's compromise, which can be regarded as a great joy.

At $26 a month, plus the previous $24 a month, that's exactly $50 a month, which is enough for the old Yan family to live a decent and prosperous life in New England.

After reaching an "agreement" with Old Man Chen, Li Mu returned to the cabin with the $226 given by Old Man Chen, which is all the pocket money that Old Man Chen should give Li Mu this year, which means that at least for this year, Old Man Chen doesn't want to see Li Mu's scourge.

When Li Mu handed over the money to Miss $10,000 and her mother, Miss $10,000 and her mother were overjoyed and admired Li Mu's ability to collect money.

It's only been a few hours, and Li Mu has already given Miss 10,000 US dollars and her mother 350 US dollars, which is a full 280 taels of silver, according to Li Mu's words, it must be spent within four months, which simply makes Miss 10,000 US dollars and her mother faint happily.

In fact, the price of goods in these years was still very stable, as far as the capital of the Qing Empire was concerned, in the 30 years before 1900, eggs had always been a penny, and flour had always been fifteen dollars a catty, and this price remained unchanged for 30 years.

If it is a family of five, it only takes about fifty taels of silver to maintain the minimum living standard every year, even if it is a rich family, it is only about one thousand taels of silver per year, Li Mu took out 280 taels of silver and asked to spend it within four months, which really made Miss Ten Thousand dollars worry, because this simple housewife had never seen so much money, and she didn't know how to spend it.

But with Li Mu here, none of this is a problem, Li Mu just made a simple list, and made Miss Ten Thousand dollars and her mother completely faint.

In fact, the list is also the necessities of life, including clothing options, the clothes prepared by Li Mu for the Yan family father and son include: silk top hats, ties, silver-inlaid canes on the handles, suits, vests, tuxedos, leather shoes, pocket watches, watch chains, etc., Li Mu doesn't know how much such a set of clothes costs in the United States, but Mike knows that after a while of writing and painting, Mike told Li Mu a figure in shock: about seventy dollars.

Seventy dollars, converted into silver, is about fifty-six taels, just the cost of one set, considering that Li Mu also needs a set, so calculated, 280 dollars is just the cost of four sets of clothes-

It was this number that completely stunned Miss Ten Thousand dollars and her mother.
