Then he called Zhang Zhi to him and asked him about it. Only then did he realize that his understanding of the inner study was really shallow!
In Liu Haojia's original impression, the inner study room was just an institution in the inner court to teach eunuchs how to read and calculate accounts. At most, it could train some useful eunuchs and maids. But now he knows that this is not the case at all!
In fact, those who taught the eunuchs and maids in the inner study were all talented people from the Hanlin Academy! Although they looked down upon these eunuchs and maids, they were still quite serious when teaching them.
Moreover, the inner study room is different from the Imperial College and other institutions, it only requires practical talents! Therefore, they also have to receive various management trainings and receive teachings from many old officials. This means that people who come out of the inner study can not only write and calculate, but with a little experience, all of them are materials for big shopkeepers!
The most critical point is that the elimination system for the inner study room is extremely cruel! When the eunuchs in the palace saw the spiritual little eunuchs, they would send them to the inner study to study. However, once it is found that their performance is lagging behind and they cannot adapt, they will be directly laid off and new people will be added. So those eunuchs and maids were studying desperately in order not to be sent out!
After listening to this, Liu Haojia lamented the waste of talent! Because the vacancies in the inner court are limited, many people trained in the inner study cannot get positions at all. They can only repeat simple labor day after day, which is a waste of talents!
But due to their special status, no one except the inner court dared to use them, and their talents were wasted in vain! This gave Liu Haojia a lot of ideas. Maybe he could take the opportunity of running the salt farm to get some eunuchs who were frustrated but really capable to work for him.
Now he is in dire need of people, but those scholars are unwilling to take refuge in him and feel it is shameful to be under the disciples of a martial artist! Therefore, he was thirsty for talents but could not find enough manpower, so he could only cultivate them slowly by himself.
The first thing Liu Haojia did when he returned to Tianjin was to call Zhang Zhi and others to the big tent. Zhang Zhi and the others were in an awkward position. It was not easy to stay in the prince's mansion on the main island, and it would be troublesome to stay in an inn. There might be news that Emperor Wanli sent eunuchs to plunder people's wealth. So Liu Haojia simply placed them in the military camp.
After they saw the ceremony, Liu Haojia said, "How is it? Are you used to living here?"
Everyone bowed together after hearing this, and Zhang Zhi said on behalf of everyone: "Thank you Lord Marquis for the arrangement. I have had a great rest these two days!"
Liu Haojia said: "There are a lot of rules in the military camp, so it's normal if you don't get used to them."
Zhang Zhi heard Zhang Jia talk about Liu Haojia's character, just say one thing and one thing, don't go around! And moderate jokes please him very much. So he smiled and said: "Master Hou, there are the most rules in the world. Is the biggest place as good as the palace?"
Liu Haojia laughed out loud when he heard this and said, "I forgot about this! In this case, I will arrange errands for you!"
Everyone was perked up after hearing this! When they came out of the palace, they were naturally rushing towards their future. They had been looking forward to something to do, so they all listened to Liu Haojia's arrangements attentively.
Just listen to Liu Haojia say: "This time when the army patrolled the border, they fought fiercely with the ***, but the soldiers did not get a ceremony to welcome them back, so I decided to celebrate them again in Tianjin! I’ll leave the ceremony to you, and let’s take a look at your personal abilities.”
After speaking, Liu Haojia stated the request and asked them to make a plan as soon as possible. After he finished speaking, Zhang Zhi and others did not agree immediately. Anyway, you looked at me and I looked at your hesitation for a long time. Finally, Zhang Zhi said carefully: "Master Marquis, it is not appropriate to leave this kind of matter to a slave, right?"
Liu Haojia was surprised when he heard this and said, "Why?"
Zhang Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "The slaves and others are all from the palace. It's okay for the Marquis to use us to do the salt work, but if the slaves and others are used to do other things, I'm afraid someone will find fault! In addition, this It is a joyous occasion to give a victory to the army, and it is better for the disabled slaves and other yin people not to interfere!"
Liu Haojia was a little unhappy when they heard their excuses at first, but he relaxed his brows after hearing their explanations. Then he said in a deep voice: "Let me talk about the first thing first, you don't have to worry
If someone says something just because they want you to do something, it doesn't matter even if they say it! Because Lord Long Live knows what’s going on, so naturally he won’t listen to them! "
Many words in this world are meant to be spoken at the last moment. Zhang Zhi and others naturally understood the meaning of Liu Haojia's words after being in the palace for a long time. That is to say, although Lord Long Live did not send anyone, he still knows the actual situation here. And it is impossible to say that among them there are people who were planted by Dongchang, so it is better to let them see clearly what they are doing. This is also a way to reassure the superiors.
Then I heard Liu Haojia say: "You said you are all Yin people, but I have never seen it that way! In my eyes, you are just a group of ordinary people with physical disabilities! And I can tell you clearly, It doesn’t matter whether you have eggs in your crotch or not. What matters is whether you have eggs in your heart! There are too many people in this world who have troubles, but they don’t have them in their hearts! So only those who have eggs in their hearts are real men! Now listen clearly. ? Go down and do your errands. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do not do well, you will be punished!"
Liu Haojia waved his hand, and Zhang Zhi and others slowly retreated. After leaving the gate, Zhang Zhi and others all bowed their heads and remained silent. After a while, someone said quietly: "Are we considered national scholars?"
Zhang Zhi said without raising his head: "The Marquis does not regard us as national scholars, but treats us as ordinary people."
Then someone whispered: "Human!"
These eunuchs were actually extremely pitiful people in the feudal era! Except for a very small number of them, they were all forced into the palace. But after entering the palace, they are no longer human! To those noble people, they are just moving objects!
Now they themselves feel that they are not human beings, but now someone treats them as human beings. What does this make them feel?
After a while, Zhang Zhi finally raised his head. He shook his sleeves and said, "Everyone, this is the first errand we have done under the Marquis. Needless to say, we did it well! But we didn't do it well. If you drag everyone down, please go back to the palace!"
Then someone laughed twice and said, "You don't have to say that! How can you still have the dignity to stay here if you mess up the errand!"
