"There is nothing benevolent about it. I just think they are suffering more than us."
He Weijun gently stroked his beard and said with a chuckle: "Since the academy has the ability, why not help them? If we waste less paper and ink, we can meet the expenses of ordinary people for a year!"
"What the dean said is absolutely true!"
Master Zhong nodded, highly approving of it.
"hehe!"
He Weijun smiled, looked at Master Zhong and said, "Besides asking for processing money, is there anything else?"
Master Zhong shook his head and said, "Everything is fine in the academy!"
"With you here, I feel a lot less worried."
He Weijun poured a cup of tea for Master Zhong and said sternly: "In addition, let me know. During this period, if two scholars are admitted to the hospital to visit, be sure to notify me in time. Don't neglect each other!"
"Who is the other party?" Master Zhong asked curiously.
"Bachelor of Pingzhou Academy."
He Weijun smiled and didn't say much.
It seems a bit mysterious.
Master Zhong became even more curious.
A humble bachelor from a small academy could actually be so valued by the dean.
There must be something fishy here.
But Master Zhong didn't ask any further questions, and bowed his head and stepped back.
…
at the same time.
In the courtyard where the academy entertains foreign guests, dozens of craftsmen gathered together, staring at several young men in Confucian shirts with excited expressions.
"Fellow bachelors, we have no education, we are just hard laborers. This salary is what we use to support our families. My child is sick, and if we don't get the salary, we can't treat the disease!"
"Sir, please do me a favor, have mercy on us, we really need this wages!"
"Before, your master said at first that it would be paid on a daily basis, and we were all willing to pay less for wages. But later on, not only did we not pay on a daily basis, but now we have built the house, and the academy has been inspected and accepted. Do we have to pay less for wages?"
"Yes! You are scholars, so you should be more honest..."
With tears in their eyes, dozens of craftsmen looked longingly at a few young men in Confucian shirts.
Several young men in Confucian shirts looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
At this time.
A tall and thin bachelor stood up and said, "Everyone, it's not that the academy doesn't pay you, but it's that the academy is also very difficult!"
"We study and practice, and we consume a lot of paper and ink every day. All of this requires money!"
"We know it's not easy for you, but it's even harder for us, but don't worry... your wages will be paid to you before the end of the year!"
"We at Junji Academy are the most honest!"
This scholar was eloquent, and the other scholars nodded secretly and sighed softly.
They spend a lot of money studying and practicing.
The academy may really be out of money!
Otherwise, it would be impossible not to pay these craftsmen.
"Everyone has difficulties, please understand each other!"
"To be honest, your salary is really nothing to the academy, but the academy is also very difficult now..."
Several other bachelors also advised him.
"Fuck your motherfucker!"
Suddenly, one of the craftsmen became excited and cursed directly: "What does your study and practice have to do with us? Does it mean that the wages we work hard for should be paid to you for your study and practice first, and then we will be paid to us when we have enough?"
"Fuck your mother's big stinky fart!"
The craftsman said angrily with red eyes: "Since wages are nothing to the academy, then you settle the accounts. Is it useful to say a lot?"
"Before, you said that wages would be paid when the work was completed. We also understand that you scholars, for the sake of safeguarding the country and the safety of Dayan, did not ask for daily payment. But now you are saying that the wages will be paid at the end of the year. I am afraid that at the end of the year, you will say that you will settle the wages next year. !”
"Even if I die today, I still have to say these words!"
The craftsman said these words in one breath, but his face turned pale with fright.
Several other craftsmen also opened their mouths to attack.
Several academy bachelors' faces turned green.
"Bold and unruly!"
The tall and thin bachelor suddenly changed his face, glared at the craftsman who was uttering arrogant words, rushed over and slapped him, and the craftsman vomited blood and flew away.
Passed out directly.
Wow!
The expressions of the craftsmen changed greatly in fear, and they all took a few steps back, and at the same time they helped up the craftsman who was vomiting blood.
"You are called scholars in vain, you are so cruel!"
"We are just asking for wages, why should we beat people?"
"I want to sue the official, we want to sue the official!"
The craftsmen were all furious and their eyes were red.
"Sue an official?"
At this moment, Master Zhong appeared here, staring at the group of craftsmen with an indifferent expression.
"Master!"
"Master!"
Several bachelors quickly bowed and saluted.
Master Zhong waved his hand slightly, looked at the craftsmen, and said coldly: "I should have said that I will settle the settlement with you at the end of the year. What else do you want to say?"
"Sue an official?"
"How dare you, the untouchables, talk to us about suing the officials? Ask the prefect if he dares to stand up for you!"
"If you have read any books, you should have heard this sentence: A cricket shakes a tree without overestimating its own capabilities!"
"You untouchables, have you ever had fun playing with the academy?"
"If you keep arguing, you won't get your salary at the end of the year! Do you really think that suing the official will scare us scholars? Do you think we are easy to bully?"
Master Zhong released a ray of aura of the Five-Principle Virtue Realm, which instantly made the craftsmen breathless.
Everyone looked frightened and trembled with fear.
"Kick them out of the academy. If anyone makes trouble again and delays the study and practice of the academy's bachelors, we will kill them directly!"
Master Zhong threatened.
Uh-huh!
The faces of the craftsmen changed drastically at that time, and they all shrank their necks, and their anger turned into fear.
die!
They are just ordinary people. They have old parents, wives and children, and they are the backbone of the family.
If they die, the family will be separated.
Seeing the expressions of the craftsmen, Master Zhong sneered inwardly, and then said: "Who wants to cause trouble now? Stand up!"
"..."
Hurrah!
All the craftsmen retreated one after another, daring to be angry but afraid to speak.
"You are convinced that you can work for the academy and absorb the aroma of books. You still want to ask for wages from us. I'm afraid you are ignorant!"
"roll!"
Master Zhong said coldly.
The craftsmen did not dare to say anything, holding back tears and grievance, and carried the craftsman who was vomiting blood and unconscious, and went down the mountain one after another.
They are not willing to give in.
But what can be done?
Scholars have extraordinary power, they are like ants unless they die!
And just like what the master said, can they play with the academy?
I can only admit that I am unlucky and find some work to support my family.
As long as people are alive, there is hope.
…
"This is Junji Academy? Master, to be honest, this is my first time to visit. The lights are bright, the smell of books is overflowing, the key is so big..."
Li Wenbo and Lin Yi came outside Junji Academy.
At a glance, you can see the Junji Academy built on a hillside. It is grand and majestic, with pavilions and pavilions standing like palaces.
“It’s really good!”
Lin Yi was also a little shocked. Junji Academy was much better than Pingzhou Academy.
It's like the difference between a rural primary school and a city university in the previous life.
"This Junji Academy has produced many Holy Academy disciples and court officials, and Zhang Dong is also a bachelor of this Junji Academy!"
Li Wenbo said with emotion: "If you study in this kind of academy, the probability of being admitted to the Holy Academy is many times better than that of our Pingzhou Academy..."
"No need to lament, the harder your background is, the more difficult it is to reach the other side of literature in the future, the more valuable it is to be a bachelor of the academy!"
A noble son born from a poor family is a good story in any era. Lin Yidao said: "Let's go and visit!"
Lin Yi and Li Wenbo led the horses up the mountain.
Suddenly, I saw a group of craftsmen covered in mud, crying and choking, going down the mountain, and injured people were being carried by everyone.
"what happened?"
Lin Yi frowned slightly, why are there a group of masons in Junji Academy?
It seems that he has been greatly wronged!
