Several scholars didn't want to hear Yun Chao bragging.
It's a pity that Yun Chao doesn't have an eye for it and keeps "blowing" endlessly.
"Gentlemen, all children in our school can study for free. Not only do they not have to pay, but they also provide lunch!"
Zhou Ping said absently: "Oh, not bad."
"Our school not only has male students, but also female students. It doesn't matter if a few gentlemen don't want to teach female students. I can continue to let the original female gentlemen teach them."
Yang Yong said perfunctorily: "Oh, okay."
"It is a great blessing for the children in our school that these gentlemen can come to our Wolong Village to teach. In order to thank these gentlemen for their great righteousness, each gentleman's monthly salary is tentatively set at thirty taels of silver, with three meals a day and a salary for one year. There are eight clothes, what do you gentlemen think?"
Wang Han: "Oh, not bad... Well, what did you say?"
Including Jiang Wen, several people were stunned.
After a while, except for Jiang Wen, the other three people all laughed.
Yun Chao was confused.
I don’t know why these guys are laughing.
Could it be that you think the salary you paid them is too low?
Can't?
Yun Chao has already asked Zhao Xiugu.
The salary of an ordinary teacher in Qingyang County is about five taels of silver a month.
Of course, Jiang Wen and Zhou Ping cannot be treated like ordinary teachers.
When they first met, Jiang Wen had already introduced them. The four of them were all unsuccessful candidates who had passed the examination.
Yun Chao knew that the Wu Dynasty was different from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations. The imperial examinations were divided into three levels: the immediate examination, the provincial examination, and the palace examination.
The state examinations in various places are called Fajie examinations. Only after passing this level can one participate in the provincial examinations held by the Ministry of Rites.
Only after passing the provincial examination can one take part in the palace examination, and only after passing can one be called a Jinshi.
However, the palace examination is actually just a formality, that is to say, as long as you can pass the provincial examination, you will basically be a Jinshi.
People like Jiang Wen and others who passed the examination are called Juren. Some people also call such scholars scholars, which is not the same concept as the scholars of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations.
Moreover, the status of the Juren of the Wu Dynasty was not as good as that of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, once you pass the examination, you will be a candidate for the rest of your life.
The judicial examination in the Dawu Dynasty was different. If you pass the examination this time, you will be the examiner for this term. If you fail to pass the provincial examination, your qualifications will be lost. In the next scientific examination, you will have to take the examination again. , can you take part in the provincial examination only if you re-obtain the qualifications to be a civil servant.
Therefore, apart from having a better reputation, Jiang Wen and others who failed to succeed did not have many substantial benefits.
If your family is not wealthy, you may suffer from financial ruin or even bankruptcy because of the high cost of taking the exam in the capital.
Zhao Xiugu told Yun Chao that under normal circumstances, the salary of a failed candidate in Qingyang County as a teacher usually ranges from 12 to 30 taels per month.
The salary level mainly depends on reputation. The greater the reputation, the higher the salary.
Yun Chao didn't want to stand alone, so he only offered Jiang Wen and the others the highest salary.
However, in order to retain talents, Yunchao not only takes care of three meals a day, but also makes eight sets of clothes for them every year.
Two sets of winter clothes, two sets of spring clothes, two sets of autumn clothes, and two sets of summer clothes.
In the Dawu Dynasty, which was short of material, this kind of treatment was quite good, and the conditions given by Yun Chao were not unfavorable.
Unexpectedly, several guys actually laughed like this after hearing this.
Yun Chao is a little unhappy now. If you think the salary is low, why should you laugh? Does it make you look noble?
Yun Chao misunderstood. It wasn't that Zhou Ping and the others thought the salary was low, but that Yun Chao was bragging too far.
Finally, Zhou Ping couldn't help it anymore. Jiang Wen had some things to say that were hard to say. He had nothing to do with Yun Chao, so he was not afraid of offending others if he spoke out.
"Yun Xinxun, people often say that you can eat as much food as you have a big belly. We are very grateful that you entertain us with such a good meal, but you should act within your ability. Since your conditions are not good, why are you still so wasteful? It’s boring. It’s not that we look down on you. You give us thirty taels of repair money a month, which is one hundred and twenty taels for four people. Can you get it? Even if you can get it, how long can you last? "
Wang Han also continued: "Yes, Yun Xingchang, it doesn't matter if you are poor, who can guarantee that you will be rich all your life, but you have to be poor to have a backbone, and it is really not right to pretend to be fat!"
Yang Yong also helped: "Inspector Yun, we are all scholars and we speak more straightforwardly. If I offend you in any way, please don't be angry. This is the truth. I wonder if you can understand it?"
"this……"
Jiang Wen rubbed his hands in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
Yun Chao was stunned for a long time before he finally came to his senses.
When I go there, a few guys either don’t think the salary they pay them is low, they think they are bragging, but in fact they don’t have that much money at all!
"Gentlemen, do you think I was just bragging when I said that the school can accommodate a thousand students and that all students are free?"
Zhou Ping, Yang Yong, Wang Han, including Jiang Wen, all smiled sarcastically, feeling too embarrassed to answer.
Yun Chao was furious.
Brother Hezuo spent a long time talking nonsense, and you guys just watched him playing monkey for a long time!
Okay, okay, don't you believe in my strength? I didn't want to show off, but it seems I can't do it anymore!
"Gentlemen, please follow me!"
Yun Chao didn't even explain, he stood up and walked out.
Jiang Wen and the others looked at each other, wondering what Yun Chao was going to do.
It seemed that what he said just now was a bit harsh and made him unhappy.
Several scholars are also very helpless. Their IQs are relatively high, but their emotional intelligence is occasionally off-line. They often offend others, and they know it.
Since Yun Chao is angry, just follow him and see what happens.
Yun Chao took a few people and went directly to the place where his boys were eating.
Pointing to the pots of stir-fried vegetables on the table, Yun Chao said: "Gentlemen, look, am I bragging? Are we eating the same home-cooked food as they are?"
"this……"
Jiang Wen and the others were all dumbfounded.
Although the boys used large pots to hold the vegetables, the dishes on the plates were the same as the ones they ate, but there were not so many kinds. This was something they still had a good eye for.
I originally thought that Yun Chao must have borrowed money to entertain him and made up for the loss. After one meal, he didn't know how many days of gruel it would take to make up for it.
Now it seems that is not the case at all.
There are more than a hundred boys under Yun Chao, and they all eat the same food.
Not only the dishes, so many people also eat white rice, white steamed buns, and watery refined grains!
Darling, how much will it cost to eat this meal?
