A few years ago, Guo Jia had mentioned to the potter about asking for a long moon, but the potter took it as a joke and didn't take it too seriously.

Although Guo Jia didn't mention it later, the potter felt very strange at the time.

Because the potter gave Guo Jia a lot of monthly salaries, and he also had a lot of rewards on weekdays, the potter played with him for this godbrother, but he never really treated him lightly, and it can even be said that he took care of him very much.

After all, he is the mastermind who hijacked him with a short crossbow, and he can't be too wronged by others.

However, although the potters gave him good treatment, Guo Jia's money still disappeared like flowing water, as fast as eating money.

The mansions surnamed Guo in Jinling City and Pengcheng were all purchased for him by the potters from the treasury back then, and he didn't have to pay for a son, and he also bought him a field property, so that he could settle down, and it stands to reason that Guo Jia's life should be good.

But no one knows how Guo Jia's life is a loser, only he and an old servant summoned from his hometown live in the mansion of Nuoda, and the wife room arranged for him by the old potter, and later gave birth to a son...... Just a few mouthfuls, none of the rest of the subordinates, and the daily expenses can be said to be less.

Li is such a reason, but the money surnamed Guo is still beyond his means, and he always borrows the west family to make a living, among the ministers under the pottery merchant, his treatment can be said to be the best one, but the life is the most miserable, there is no one.

He almost took his wife and children to the door to ask for food.

At first, the potter thought that Guo Jia was spending too much money on taking pills or indulging in alcohol, but after Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo found out the hidden disease for Guo Jia, they asked him to quit drinking and sex, maintain his body, and forbade him to take pills again.

Since then, the small wine gourd behind Guo Jia has been filled with water. But even so, his life still did not improve. It can be seen that the cause of poverty is not so.

In the end, the matter was found out by the deputy director of the school office, You Donkey, who had been Guo Jia's deputy and assassin for many years.

Most of Guo Jia's money, except for the basic daily expenses for his wife and children and his family, was sent back to a private school in Yangzhai, Yingchuan, his hometown.

At that time, the school was divided into official and private schools, at that time, reading was not like that of later generations, it was popularized to every household, everyone could do it, and there were very few people who could be qualified to go to school.

And the people who can go to school, among them, are only a small part.

They generally have a good background and a good family, and the money must be enough to support them, and most of them are the main branch of the grandmaster, not the children of the side branch.

For example, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xun Chen, Guo Tu and others.

The rest of the sons of the Pang clan, or the defeated poor people, only have to go to private school.

Yangzhai, the capital of Yingchuan, as the birthplace of the princes of Xia Qihui, has always been an important cultural center in the Yellow River Valley.

Among them, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Guo Tu, Xun Chen and others are the most.

However, although they are both Yingchuan students, the schools they stayed in were different when they were young, and later they met just because they admired each other, among which Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were real classmates and best friends.

The rest of Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Tu and others all belong to the next class.

But since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the world has been in turmoil, chaos in various places, and wars have continued, many people have left their hometowns for their livelihoods, or joined the army to fight, and the military tribute and taxes on weekdays are beyond their means, where is the mood to go to school again?

In this way, the official schools were okay, but most of the private schools fell down one after another, closing their doors, and the Confucians who taught were also hiding and shrinking, and they couldn't live in fear. People who have gone out from official and private schools have also taken advantage of the time to devote themselves to all parties in order to become famous.

But for the private school he once studied, Guo Jia is different from others, although he has been a teacher, but he still has a different feeling for the place where he once raised himself and educated him, so even if he is not in his hometown, in order to continue to exist in private school, he is to send money to private school from time to time, even if his life is affected by this, he does not hesitate.

The old private school may not be as simple as a private school for Guo Jia, it may carry a hope and a feeling, and this private school may still be the treasure in his heart.

Man, as long as he has faith, his power can prevail over everything.

After the potter learned about this matter from You Donkey, he didn't say much, after all, it was Guo Jia's private matter, and he had no reason or right to interfere.

All he could do was to think of as many reasons as possible and give Guo Jia more rewards since he knew about it.

People who don't know good intentions don't necessarily mean they can't do good.

Kindness is not a learning, but an action.

And this time the troops are here, and the potter also wants to take this opportunity to solve this matter for Guo Jia.

In fact, with the money Guo Jia obtained, it is not difficult to support a college, but many of the people who came to study privately in troubled times were unable to pay the tuition, but Qu Lao was unwilling to wronged those who really wanted to study, so he taught for free, or collected something at will, which means something.

On the surface, Guo Jia is raising a private school, but in fact, he also raises countless Confucian teachers and students in it.

……

"How did you get Qu Gong?" Guo Jia snorted angrily and pulled the potter over and said dissatisfiedly.

The potter shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "You still can't see this?" This is what Tao said before, and he wants to do high-profile things. ”

Guo Jia's expression became a rare hesitation, and he pleaded with Tao Shangdao: "Taifu, the matter between us and Cao Cao, please go and don't bring Qu Lao in, they are just ordinary Confucians, teaching and teaching apprentices, and there is no quarrel with the world." ”

Hearing this, the potter smiled: "Of course I know! Am I such a heartless person? I just want to build schools in Jinling City and Hangzhou City, whether it is official or private, they are all funded by the government treasury, and Jinling City is rich and beautiful, and if you go there to run a school, you must be able to show your talents to Qu Gong and others. ”

Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this.

"Don't you want to recruit troops, strengthen the army and enrich the people, and promote private learning?"

The potter rolled his eyes: "Joke! Cultural construction, mental arming is also a strong army, whether it is good to enrich the country, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. ”

Guo Jia looked at him hesitantly and said, "In that case, why do you have to recruit Confucian masters from Yingchuan?" ”

"Yingchuan calligraphy schools are everywhere, the Confucians here have rich experience, and there are a lot of them, far better than the land south of the Yangtze River, digging them in the past is better than cultivating people now, right?"

Guo Jia was still a little skeptical: "You shouldn't be for my business......"

"Godbrother, don't be sentimental."

Just as the two were talking, Qu Lao stepped forward again and said to the Tao Shang: "Fengxiao, you haven't introduced me yet, who is this next to you?" ”

Seeing this, the potter and Guo Jia couldn't help wiping their sweat together.

This blind old man......

The potter said helplessly to Principal Qu: "Qu Gong admits that he is the wrong person, I am not Guo Jia." ”

"Nonsense! I've been teaching you for six years, how could you be wrong! I know you in ashes. ”

Guo Jia said with a sad face: "Old Qu, Guo has turned you into ashes twice for a while, he is really not Guo Fengxiao, this is the master of the dynasty." ”

Principal Qu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he looked the potter up and down in surprise for a while, and said tremblingly: "Your Excellency is ...... Mrs. Tao? ”

The pottery merchant arched his hand to Qu Lao and said: "Tao is exact, this time I want to discuss something important with Qu Gong, so I followed Guo Fengxiao's line and invited a few old men to come over, Meng Lang's place, and Haihan." ”

Qu Lao returned the salute to the potter: "It's too polite, how dare the old man!" Dare to ask where is Bong-hyo? ”

The potter squinted at Guo Jia, but saw that his face was dark.

Such a big living person muttered here for a long time, and he didn't look at him properly.

You can't recognize it if you don't burn it to ashes.

"Qu Gong, I am Guo Jia!" Guo Jia hurriedly stomped his feet and shouted at the old man.

Old man Qu was startled by this shout, squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at Guo Jia carefully for a long time, then walked over, crossed Guo Jia, grabbed Tai Shici's hand beside him, and said, "Fengxiao!" The old man has seen you. ”

Tai Shici's face suddenly appeared with a look of helplessness.

It's embarrassing.

Tao Cheng looked at Old Man Qu fixedly, and suddenly said to Guo Jia: "Your teacher, shouldn't you be sick?" ”

Guo Jia said angrily: "Nonsense, my teacher is in good health, where did the illness come from?" ”

The potter walked over suspiciously, stretched out a finger to the old man, and asked, "Uncle, how much is this?" ”

Old man Qu frowned: "Two." ”

The potter stretched out three more fingers: "What about this?" ”

"Eight."

The potter shook his head helplessly, and said to Guo Jia: "Look at it, there is no distinction between three and eight, and you still say that you are not sick?" …… Typical senile cataract is really difficult to see. ”

Guo Jia: "......"

After a lot of explanations, Qu Gongfang, who was confused and cataractic, figured out which one was Guo Jia.

After the misunderstanding was clearly explained, the potter ordered someone to arrange the seats and ordered someone to serve food to the old man.

Qu Gong finally knew who the real Guo Jia was, and after sitting down, he grabbed Guo Jia's hand and didn't let it go, for fear that he would disappear in the crowd after a while.

"Fengxiao, you kid is still the same wave as before, the old man called you for so long, you didn't come out, don't recognize the old man as you, make a big misunderstanding, you kid should be punished."

Guo Jia's tears were brushed, and he almost cried.

Feelings or mine anymore?

"Qu Gong, your eyes ...... When did you get sick? ”

"Nonsense! What kind of illness is it, the old man's tricks are sharp! Not only can you look at people accurately, but you can also defend loyalty and treachery! It's a gentleman, a villain, and the old man can see it clearly at a glance! ”

Guo Jia squinted at the potter and said, "Qu Gong, you said that Taifu is a gentleman or a villain?" ”

"Of course it's a gentleman."

"Sure enough...... You still have eye problems. ”

Tao Shang cleared his throat, glanced at Guo Jia dissatisfiedly, and then said: "Qu Gong, Tao came to you this time, in addition to letting you get together with your master and apprentice, there is another thing I want to ask you for. ”

Old man Qu immediately said: "What is the matter with Taifu, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The potter immediately told the old man Qu his desire to summon the old man Qu to Jinling, Hangzhou and other places and Daxing the school.

Old man Qu was silent for a while, and said: "Jinling and Hangzhou are the hometown of splendor, and in recent years, they have also become famous, and it is rumored that the southeast land is rich under the governance of Taifu, and even faintly comparable to Luoyang and Chang'an, and there are few wars, it is a land of abundance and happiness, and it is indeed a good place for students to learn." ”

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "In this case, the teacher might as well go with us." ”

Old man Qu said: "It's good, but the old man is seventy years old this year, and his health is far from what he used to be. ”

The potter said with a smile: "Qu Gong has been running a school in Yangzhai for decades, even if he can't do it at the moment, but after so many years, he must still have enough connections." ”

Old man Qu said with a smile: "This Taifu is right, the old man's teaching skills in this circle over the years are not good, but this person has made a lot of friends, and this old face is quite thin." ”

"In that case, then please ask Qu Lao to persuade a few more of our Yang Zhai's school masters for me, let them move their families to the southeast, and avoid the scourge of war while running the school, all the expenses will be borne by Tao, how about it?"
