Han Du touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and shook his head and said: "It is impossible to give up love."
Chang Hao's expression darkened for a while when he heard this. Just when he was deeply disappointed, Han Du continued: "However, the academy will not interfere with what teachers do after teaching."
"Hou, what do you mean by Lord Hou?" Chang Hao looked surprised when he suddenly heard such twists and turns. He looked at Han Du carefully, for fear that he would be rude and make Han Du regret it.
Hearing this, Han Du spread his hands and said with a smile: "What I mean is that as long as the teachers in the academy can complete their teaching tasks, as for how they allocate the rest of their time, whether they rest by themselves or help you deal with some problems, the academy does not I will ask."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis. With these words from Lord Marquis, I can rest assured." Chang Hao felt inexplicably excited. He turned back to look at Lu Bowen and saw that he was surrounded by several bosses. He couldn't help but feel anxious.
He quickly turned around and bowed his hands to Han Du, and said apologetically: "I have important things to do now, so I will take my leave and ask you to pay homage to me."
"Go." Han Du waved his hand and asked Chang Hao to leave.
Han Du naturally understood what he was busy doing, and it was a good thing that he was happy to see happen, so there was no reason to stop him. Although the academy has given these teachers a salary, who would still dislike the money? Now there are so many businessmen who need the help of academy teachers. Han Du will not only not stand in the way, but will add fuel to the flames and promote this matter.
First, the academy can further enhance its reputation. Although merchants had a low status in the Ming Dynasty, their financial resources were extremely huge. No matter what the system is, it is the economic base that determines the superstructure. These businessmen who are rich and willing to spend money, no matter how hard Lao Zhu suppresses them, sooner or later they will naturally rise to the upper echelons of society as their wealth increases. If the academy can establish contact with them in advance, it will be beneficial to the future development of the academy without any harm.
Secondly, teachers are human beings too, and they all need to make money to support their families. Although the academy gave them a monthly salary, Han Du didn't mind if they relied on their own abilities to earn extra money. The idea is that the more capable a person is of earning extra money, the more Han Du will value him.
Haven't you seen those girls in the Jiaofang Division, since they all became wealthy, have they established their identities without knowing it? In the past, they had almost no independent opinions on receiving customers. In the past, during tea gatherings, someone would always be a guest. But since they got rich, even Grandma Li could only persuade them earnestly. Not to mention it was a tea party. If I felt a little bad, I would even close the tea stall.
If teachers can obtain generous rewards by cooperating with these businessmen, it can be regarded as a little reward from the academy.
Lu Bowen was rejecting the businessmen who gathered around him one after another. He had already decided to stay in the academy to teach, and he would never accept the kindness of these businessmen again, even if they piled more money on him. .
Just as he struggled to break out of the siege of merchants, he was caught by Chang Hao who caught up.
"Students pay homage to Mr. Lu." Mr. Chang Hao saluted Lu Bowen.
When Lu Bowen saw Chang Hao again and knew that he was also a scholar, his attitude naturally softened and was much better than when facing other people.
"Chang Hao, I told you, I am a teacher in the academy, I cannot
Someone who can help you with things. "Lu Bowen is older than Chang Hao. Although Lu Bowen is only in high school now, he is good at taking exams and is not comparable to a scholar like Chang Hao.
After Lu Bowen finished speaking, he broke away from Chang Hao's hand and turned to leave.
Chang Hao took another step, stood in front of Lu Bowen, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu may not know something. I asked the Marquis just now. The Marquis said that the academy does not prohibit you from helping me, as long as you do not delay the teaching of students." That’s it. If you are interested, sir, the terms I will give you remain unchanged, and I promise that it will not take up your teaching time, how about that?”
"Is this true?" Lu Bowen didn't believe it. In his opinion, how can a woman marry two husbands? Since he received a salary from the academy, he naturally shouldn't have anything to do with Chang Hao. But seeing Chang Hao's vow, he couldn't help but look back at Han Du.
Seeing Han Du smiling and nodding towards him, Lu Bowen believed Chang Hao's words.
More importantly, the conditions given by Chang Hao are indeed attractive enough.
Although Lu Bowen's family background was reasonably moderate compared to other scholars, his family did not have a single house in the capital, not even a house in an outer city.
It was Lu Bowen's wish to have a house of his own in the capital, but he didn't care before because he knew he was too far away from this wish. Now that Chang Hao mentioned it again, it was impossible to say that he was not moved.
"Of course it's true. The Marquis is there. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask now. How about I wait here for your reply?" Chang Hao glanced at where Han Du was and pointed. Han Du said to Lu Bowen with a smile.
Lu Bowen pondered for a few breaths, nodded and said, "Okay, if the Marquis really means this, then I will promise you."
Chang Hao made a gesture of invitation, looked at Lu Bowen, and said with a smile: "Then let's make it a deal."
Lu Bowen said "hmm" and said seriously: "Please wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can."
Lu Bowen just verified the authenticity of the news with Han Du, and quickly returned to Chang Hao without wasting much time. But even after returning here, Lu Bowen still looked dazed. If he hadn't heard Han Du's words with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed that such a thing would happen. 'I got a salary from the academy, but I can still take a share from others? What on earth is going on? '
But Lu Bowen couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it. Anyway, this is a good thing for him. Who wouldn't be happy to be able to earn more money? Looking at the current situation, I am afraid that what I can earn from Chang Hao is much more than the academy's salary.
Chang Hao felt happy when he saw Lu Bowen finally nodded. Although apart from Lu Bowen, the academy is not without people who are good at arithmetic. But for Chang Hao, every number is money. Now that he is looking for it, he must look for the best one. For this, it is worth paying even more.
Han Du values the teachings in many academies and is entangled by a group of businessmen. After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and clapped his hands, focusing everyone's attention on himself.
He put his hands behind his back, breathed heavily, and looked at the businessmen first. So many people gathered at the entrance of the academy just to poach one or two talents from the academy. This made Han Du feel quite gratified, eliminating the bad luck of being blocked by northern scholars before.
How about not getting used to the academy? So what about the public criticism? Businessmen have the keenest sense of smell. They know that the scholars in the academy are capable enough to bring them more wealth, so they will naturally pursue them.
Then he turned his attention to the teaching in the academy and said: "As long as you don't delay the teaching, the academy will not interfere with whether you cooperate with them. As long as you have enough skills, even if you get three or five copies from outside, The academy won't even ask about salary."
With Han Du's words, the direct conflict between the teacher and the businessman immediately disappeared, and the two groups soon started talking happily.
This is exactly the old saying, no one would dislike too many opportunities to make money.
...
The fraud scandal will pass slowly.
Liu Sanwu was released from prison by Lao Zhu and returned to his original position.
After being in jail for so many days, Liu Sanwu not only did not look haggard at all despite his age, but had a rosy complexion and gained a few pounds based on his figure.
This is all the fault of Liu Laotou. Ever since Han Du asked him, he has tried his best to take care of Liu Sanwu. Not only did he clean Liu Sanwu's cell, but he also responded to Liu Sanwu's requests. Sometimes, Liu Sanwu got greedy and wanted to eat at the banquet at the seafood restaurant, but Liu Laotou went all out to prepare it for him.
As soon as they came and went, the two actually became friends who talked about everything.
The day Liu Sanwu walked out of the prison, the weather was very good. He stretched out his hand to cover his forehead. After a while, Liu Sanwu got used to the sunshine outside.
"Congratulations, Sir. Congratulations to Sir. I am redressed and restored to my original position. Congratulations!" Liu Laotou stood next to Liu Sanwu and said joyful words.
Liu Sanwu had nothing on his mind and had no time to pay attention to Liu Laotou. He stretched out his hand and slowly stroked his beard, wondering to himself and asked: "How did he get out of such a big trouble? It's not easy for me to be reinstated as an official."
"What are you talking about, sir?" Liu Sanwu's voice was too soft, so Liu Laotou didn't hear clearly, so he asked quickly.
Liu Sanwu looked back at Liu Laotou, smiled but did not answer him but asked: "I heard that you and Han Du have a good relationship?"
When Liu Laotou heard this, he immediately felt embarrassed and did not dare to brag in front of Liu Sanwu. He just said modestly: "It's all supported by the Marquis. How dare you say that it has anything to do with the Marquis?"
Liu Sanwu suddenly raised his head and laughed, and said haha: "Informed and knowledgeable, not bad, not bad."
After finishing speaking, Liu Sanwu strode into the sunshine with a smile on his face and left step by step.
Liu LaoTou stood behind and watched. After a while, he shouted: "Sir, walk slowly and don't look back."
As expected, Liu Sanwu didn't look back. After hearing Liu Laotou's words, he just raised his hand and waved it behind his back a few times until he disappeared at the end of the street.
...
In the Fengtian Hall, Lao Zhu was sitting on the dragon chair, holding the Zhu batch and looking at the Ding Mao Ke Hall test papers presented by Liu Sanwu. After pondering over and over again, he still gave Wang Yuanji the title of No. 1 Scholar. There is no other way, Wang Yuanji's heroic writing has been spread all over the capital, and there is even a tendency to spread to the world. If Wang Yuanji is not selected as the number one scholar, I am afraid that not only the southern scholars will be dissatisfied, but also the northern scholars will not be so thick-skinned to dare to be above Wang Yuanji.
