"Sir, are you looking down on people?" Han Du joked, "On weekdays, I drink tea to quench my thirst. Of course, I drink it as much as I want. But now, since it is to let my husband appreciate the beauty of this fragrant tea, then of course I have to. Do everything we can."
Mr. Jin nodded and said: "Your method is indeed good, and it deserves the words "do your best."
After saying that, he looked up at Han Du and curled his lips, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have something to say, say it quickly. Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
After spending time together, the two of them had already figured out each other's tempers. Mr. Jin was too lazy to argue with Han Duxu and point it out directly.
The embarrassment on Han Du's face disappeared in a flash, and he returned to his cheeky nature. He smiled and said: "Mr. Jin, so many Gongsheng students came to the capital, but 90% of them are destined to go back home. Isn't it a pity? ?”
"What's such a pity? Isn't it like this every year? The capable are on top and the weak are on the bottom, just like always. I haven't seen you express any dissatisfaction with this before. Why do you think of caring about those Gongsheng students today?" Mr. Jin said softly. He stared at Han Du with a smile, teasing him knowingly.
Han Du did not take Mr. Jin's teasing to heart and pretended not to understand what he meant. He said seriously: "Sir, you should know that those Gongsheng students who failed to enter the Imperial College are not weaklings. Those are all talented and intelligent people. It's just that for various reasons, they haven't received guidance from knowledgeable people or have other hobbies, which makes them inferior to those supervisors. But such people are the talents our academy urgently needs. Mr. Jin is also a member of the academy now. Why don't we just think of a way to get these tribute students to come to our academy?"
Mr. Jin was moved by Han Du's words. Now it is true that he cannot leave the academy, not that the academy cannot leave him. Therefore, Mr. Jin had to say seriously: "Since these tribute students want to be admitted to the Imperial College, it means that they all want to participate in the imperial examination and serve as officials. In this case, you only need to tell them that they can participate in next year's imperial examination if they come to the academy, and then Find a famous scholar to be a facade in the academy. Is there any reason why they shouldn't come?"
Han Du's eyes suddenly lit up, but then he asked with some doubts: "Is this useful? They participate
Are you confident that you will be better than those supervisors from the Imperial College in the Imperial Examination? "
Mr. Jin smiled coldly when he heard this and said, "Although you are a scholar and have passed the examination, you don't understand the thoughts of ordinary Gong students."
Han Du smiled flatteringly, he really didn't have the psychological journey of these Gongsheng students. I had always aced the exams before and never failed. How could I understand the mood of these failed students?
"Although they are not as good as others in the Imperial College examination, they will never think that their level is not good. Instead, they will attribute those who passed the examination to their good luck. You have only heard that literati love each other, you have Have you ever heard of literati respecting each other? Even if there is, it is just for others to see, and it is not his true intention at all." Mr. Jin said while drinking tea.
After Han Du heard this, not only did he not feel happy about getting the advice, but he frowned and said: "Listening to what Mr. Jin said, why do I feel that these failed Gongsheng students don't know that the sky is high and there are people outside the world? If such people are Recruiting someone to the academy will probably do a lot of harm to the academy but nothing good, right?"
Mr. Jin glared at Han Du helplessly and said, "Who asked you to recruit these people? The Imperial College knows how to set up an exam to select the best from the best. Don't you know how to copy the best?"
"It's true that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. Sir, that's really kind of you." Han Du suddenly became happy.
But after a while, Han Du thought about the issue of famous scholars. There are only three people in the academy: myself, my sister, and Mr. Jin. Who is the famous Confucian?
"Mr. Jin, please take care of these Gongsheng students from now on."
Mr. Jin was stunned when he heard this and asked doubtfully: "Why do I bother?"
He immediately reacted and immediately explained: "Don't get me wrong, I am not a Confucian."
Seeing Han Du's dull expression, Mr. Jin sighed and had no choice but to explain: "To tell you the truth, I sincerely like arithmetic. I have spent all my energy on arithmetic. For the Four Books I have very little knowledge of the Five Classics, so don’t count on me.”
Han Du frowned and suddenly felt very troubled. Since Mr. Jin cannot serve as a professor
Gongsheng’s important task, what should we do? You can’t let yourself go there in person, right?
Han Du was able to pass the imperial examination at a young age, so he naturally had a deep understanding of the imperial examination. But unfortunately, only Han Du himself knew this, and those Gongsheng students didn't even know that Han Du had such an ability. Naturally, he would not choose to come to the academy because of Han Du.
In other words, even if Han Du said it, they wouldn't believe it. Because Han Du has no reputation at all in Shilin, how can he be convinced?
Seeing Han Du's frown, Mr. Jin reminded him with a smile: "I heard that you and Fang Xiaoru have a good relationship?
Han Du nodded subconsciously, the sadness on his face not diminishing at all. She didn't understand why Mr. Jin mentioned Fang Xiaoru and looked at him doubtfully.
Mr. Jin put down the teacup and said softly: "Since you and Fang Xiaoru have a close relationship, then you haven't gotten to know him specifically?"
What do I know about him? Regarding Fang Xiaoru, Han Du only knew that he would be punished by ten tribes in the future, and he was also the only person in Chinese history who was punished by ten tribes.
Han Du really didn't know much about other things about Fang Xiaoru.
Seeing that Han Du really didn't know, Mr. Jin explained: "Fang Xiaoru is a famous Confucian of his generation and has a very high prestige among scholars. If you can let him come to the academy to take charge, you will naturally not have to worry about not being able to recruit Gongsheng students. , I’m afraid you will feel that there are too many tribute students who want to come to the academy."
Han Du was shocked. He didn't expect that Fang Xiaoru, who had cheated the singers with food and drink in Jiaofangsi and offered them hospitality one after another, would actually be a world-famous Confucian scholar?

In Han Du's opinion, shouldn't these famous scholars all be gray-haired old men who need help even when walking? How could it be Fang Xiaoru, a strong young man in his twenties?
However, after hearing Mr. Jin's statement, some of Han Du's past doubts were immediately cleared up.
Originally, Han Du was wondering why Lao Zhu would praise Fang Xiaoru with effusive words, but was unwilling to let him become an official. Instead, he wanted to give him some money and send him back to his hometown.
I'm afraid what Lao Zhu said about the need for Fang Xiaoru to return to his hometown to continue studying is completely false.
