If the academy wants to grow, it naturally cannot rely solely on Han Du and a few people.
Take Han Du, for example. He is also a naval officer, and he wants to lead the navy on an expedition. Over the course of a year, I have very little time to come to the academy. Moreover, Han Du was lazy, so he had even less time to come to the academy.
As a result, the two subjects of physics and chemistry are still taught only briefly.
As for mathematics, thanks to Han Jingyun's hard work and hard work, the academy students have made rapid progress in mathematics and are now able to stand alone.
"You want to stay in the academy to teach?" Han Du asked in disbelief.
"Master Han please do it..." Everyone stood up with a swoosh, bowed and said.
Han Du was startled by such a uniform move. After reacting, he waved his hand quickly and said: "Sit down, everyone, sit down. I need to consider this matter in the long run..."
Seeing that Han Du wanted to agree, they slowly returned to their chairs and began to smile.
Han Du stood on the podium, pacing back and forth while touching his chin. Only when these people are recruited as teachers in the academy will the academy truly grow. With the participation of so many people, the academy will never be short of teachers to teach in the future. The academy can also get on the right track and be passed down for a long time. Rather than like now, once he and Han Jingyun are gone, the academy will exist in name only.
After a few laps, Han Du suddenly stopped. I finally made up my mind to do it!
Why should he give up the students he worked so hard to teach to Lao Zhu?
Han Du glanced around. Every one of these people was a treasure. How could he be willing to let Lao Zhu waste it? Rather than letting them embark on official careers and be constrained by power in the future, it is better to stay in the academy and give them a free world.
Isn’t it just salary?
If it comes to anything else, Han Du may not have a solution. But when it comes to money, even if you give up a hundred catties of your own, you can always get them money to support their family.
Having made a decision in his heart, Han Du nodded and said, "If you want to stay in the academy, I will definitely welcome you."
"Ouch~" As soon as the words came out, bursts of ghostly cries and howls came like waves.
Han Du was forced to turn his head away from the noise, otherwise his ear holes would feel painful.
When the cheers slowly subsided, Han Du quickly stopped their voices and said, "However, there are two things I want to say first."
"Sir, please speak. The students are all ears." Wang Yuanji agreed with a smile.
Han Du glanced at him without saying anything. He turned to everyone and said: "First, the academy has no money now. The salary you will get if you stay in the academy as a teacher will definitely not be as good as if you become an official. On this point, I hope you will You have to think it through carefully.”
"Master Han, don't worry. We don't ask for much salary. Even if it's the same as when we were students, we have no regrets." Wang Yuanji laughed and said, and others also agreed.
However, Han Du still waved his hand to stop their words, glanced at Wang Yuanji, pointed at him and scolded him: "Wang Yuanji, you are not allowed to think like this. I also know a little about the situation in your family. Apart from you, you You have a younger brother and younger sister, right?"
"What you said is correct." Wang Yuanji replied immediately.
Han Du continued with a reproachful tone: "Your parents have worked hard to support your education. After you have achieved success in your studies, you should make more money to support your family so that your parents will no longer have to work hard and your younger brother can also Continue studying so that your sister can buy beautiful clothes. Even after you start a family in the future, you must have enough money to support your family's expenses.
Money is not a bad thing, as long as you get it properly, no matter how much money you earn, it is all right.
You go to the academy to study. In addition to teaching you knowledge, the academy also hopes that you can become a man, a big tree that can protect your family from wind and rain and can be relied on, instead of becoming a person who abandons his family for a little fame. .
If one day, one of you becomes such a person, the academy will definitely expel him or her! "
Han Du said categorically.
The students below were shocked when they heard this. Not every one of them came from a wealthy family. Many of them were like Wang Yuanji, and the whole family worked hard to support them. The family also hopes that one day they will be able to win a gold medal and honor their ancestors, and most importantly, they hope to take this opportunity to change the fate of their whole family.
Young people are impulsive and easily swayed by sudden comments. When their minds are hot, they dare to resign blatantly, but they never think about the consequences after they resign. Even if they could be exempted from the punishment of being exiled thousands of miles away and fell into a situation where they would never be used again, it would be no less than a collapse of the sky for their whole family.
Han Du didn't want them to regret it for the rest of their lives because of their impulsiveness.
Sure enough, after Han Du finished speaking, some students began to slowly wake up and were able to weigh the pros and cons rationally.
At this time, Han Du raised a second finger and said: "Second, there are one hundred and ninety-four of you. You also know how many students there are in the academy. Do you think the academy can really need so many of you?" Teaching?”
Including the Jinshi in front of me, there are less than a thousand students in the academy. Even if the academy continues to recruit students in the next few years, there will be at most 2,000 students, which is a lot. For two thousand students, thirty or forty teachers would be enough. Even if Han Du wanted to stay longer, he would only need fifty or sixty people at most.
It was simply impossible to keep all one hundred and ninety-four people.
The Jinshis present knew exactly what was going on in the academy. They are all math masters. After a little mental arithmetic, they know how many teachers can be retained in the academy at most.
When Han Du saw the expressions on everyone's faces changing, he knew that they already knew what was going on. He smiled lightly and said, "I'll make it clear. In the three disciplines of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, plus Shi Wen, there will be at most sixty people left."
This number was higher than the results everyone had come up with, and they also knew that Han Du had indeed tried his best.
Wang Yuanji thought for a while, raised his hands and asked, "May I ask Master Han, how do you select these sixty people?"
Seeing that everyone had begun to accept it, Han Du also felt relieved and said without hesitation: "Simple, three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry plus time and literature, each subject has fifteen people, you know which subject you are good at and which subject you are bad at." . You can make your own choice. If anyone thinks it’s unfair, then we’ll take a test in all four subjects and judge based on the scores.”
Han Du looked indifferent, he organized it anyway
Exams are nothing to the academy. When these people were preparing for the entrance examination, they had to organize a mock test almost every day for the last month. This was a familiar journey for them.
"No, that's not necessary...just do what Master Han said, we can make our own choice." Wang Yuanji smiled awkwardly.
We are all classmates, and some are even friends in the same dormitory. Who doesn’t know who is who? They know very well who is good at which skill and which skill is bad. There is no need to take the exam again. Nothing will change after taking the exam. It is better to choose by yourself.
Han Du nodded indifferently, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then, except for these sixty people, let everyone else go to work and don't say goodbye. Of course, I have something to say first. You must think about it when you choose. In your own family, never let a momentary impulse cause your family members to suffer along with you. A person who can carry the entire family on his shoulders is a truly great husband."
"Of course, you don't have to choose now. I will give you three days. After three days, those who want to come to the academy to teach can come to me to register. In the end, I will select up to the top fifteen people based on the registration status."
As for those who didn't come, it would naturally be considered as giving up and going to be officials in a decent manner.
After everyone saluted Han Du one by one, they slowly left.
No matter what choice they make in three days, at least it will be a choice they make after careful consideration. They will not regret their impulsiveness in the future.
Everyone left, and Han Du was ready to find a way to plead for mercy. Even if sixty people resign, this is a unique thing for the imperial court. If they don't handle it well and anger Lao Zhu, then forget about making the academy develop and grow. Maybe he will be exiled thousands of miles with them.
It would definitely not work to go directly to Lao Zhu to plead for mercy. That day when Zhu Zi said that he was an academician and wanted to resign, Lao Zhu's face was extremely ugly. You don't need to think about it to know that Lao Zhu was definitely opposed to this matter. If Lao Zhu hadn't figured out how to deal with it at the beginning, he might have issued an order on the spot to exile the academicians thousands of miles away.
Fortunately, Han Du also had a candidate, and that was Zhu Biao.
"Do you want Gu to plead for the academy scholar?" Zhu Biao asked with a sigh as his heart sank heavily after hearing Han Du's intention.
Han Du nodded slightly and said: "I know this matter is extremely troublesome, so I want to ask the prince to be lenient."
"What's the use of being alone? What will happen in the end depends on Father's nod and consent." Zhu Biao sighed, glanced at Han Du, and suddenly asked: "Those precious students of yours resigned in the first place. I’m afraid I didn’t get angry with you about the idea, right?”
Han Du smiled bitterly and nodded when he heard this.
Those guys were just like newborn calves who were not afraid of death. They would come up with an idea at random, and as soon as their brains got hot, they would write a letter and ask Zhu Zi to bring it to the court. I have no idea how bad such behavior is for the court and the emperor.
Zhu Zi was also a fool, and he did it without knowing the severity. Perhaps in his opinion, he has done even more extreme things than this on weekdays, and has never seen any problems.
But Zhu Zi didn't want to think about it. He was Lao Zhu's biological son. A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, so Lao Zhu would naturally be tolerant to him. But his classmates were just subjects. When Lao Zhu got angry, he would not show any mercy at all.
