Chapter 48: Death Saves Face
The next morning, Zhang Heng also woke up in good spirits, chatted with Fang Ming for a long time yesterday, and at the same time got the three-year cooperation authorization letter of the printing workshop, the matter of the workshop is done, and now the relevant staff are there!
At this time, the green pothos walked in with a basin of water and said, "Childe, just now the Sun Mansion sent someone to tell Childe that you will go to the Wangpo Teahouse." ”
"I see"
Zhang Heng didn't expect Sun Jingxiang's actions to organize people so quickly, so he immediately washed up and set off.
Green pothos looked at the smile on his face, thinking that Childe has been very happy recently, and there should be some happy event.
In the Wang Po Teahouse, Sun Jingxiang was sitting at a table upstairs drinking tea, and downstairs there were twenty-three people talking.
"Brother Wang, it's been good lately! The last time I listened to your song of willows, the aftermath lingered, and it didn't stop for three days! ”
"Brother Yao, it's over, and I'm envious of your handwriting!"
"Let's gather here today and have a good exchange."
"Yes, let's go drink later, we should drink on such a good day."
A maid upstairs listened to the discussion below, and said to Sun Jingxiang: "Miss, they are all above the top, I'm afraid they won't go to work in the newspaper." ”
Sun Jingxiang smiled slightly and said, "It's none of our business, what I can do for them has already been done, if they would rather be hungry, they will be hungry." ”
"That's right, I can't afford to eat anymore, and I'm still pretending to be high there."
The maid also muttered.
When Zhang Heng came to the teahouse, he saw that more than 20 people dressed as scholars were chatting happily, just like a party, he also looked at them, and found that many people were dressed very ordinary, and it was estimated that their family backgrounds were very ordinary.
At this moment, Sun Jingxiang walked down from the upper floor.
At the same time, these scholars, who were still chatting, also quieted down and got up one after another.
Sun Jingxiang looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, I called everyone here today, mainly to arrange for everyone to work in the newspaper, this is the person in charge of the newspaper, Zhang Heng, he will interview everyone today." ”
As soon as the words fell, one of them took the lead in asking, and his tone was very uncomfortable and arrogant: "Then how much salary are you going to give us?" ”
"First of all, before you get paid, you have to know what you can do for the newspaper. When you come to work in our newspaper, the money will definitely not be bad, the key is that you have to have the ability to get the money. ”
Zhang Heng also posed as the boss of the clothes, after all, he came to select employees, not to serve them as a grandson.
"Then what do you need us to do with this newspaper?"
After Yang Tian, who had just asked the question, was scolded back, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"The main thing is to let you be reporters, the so-called reporters are to find news clues in various industries, and then organize them into articles, this is your job."
Zhang Heng explained to them the work of a reporter.
Hearing this, Yang Tian also showed a look of disdain on his face, and said: "We are all people who read poetry and books, how can we do these errands." ”
"Yes! If this spreads, where we put our faces, we will definitely be laughed at by others. ”
Many people also nodded in agreement.
Smack
At this time, Zhang Heng threw a bag of money on the table and said: "There are three pieces of money in it, I will ask you a question now, is it important to have face or to be able to eat?" ”
"This is not face, this is the backbone of a scholar, everyone says yes."
Yang Tian stood up and shouted loudly, his face full of arrogance.
"Yes, this is our backbone, not this copper-smelling thing that can corrode us."
Many people also chimed in, but some people did not speak.
Seeing their arrogant appearance, Zhang Heng thought that the thoughts of this ancient man were really stubborn!
Yang Tian looked at his helpless appearance, and he was also very proud in his heart, and said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, we don't have rare copper-smelling things like you." ”
"Copper-smelling thing? You've been reading the counts for so many years not for this copper-smelling thing. ”
Zhang Heng teased.
"Of course not, I'm reading the book of sages, so naturally it's to gain fame and serve the court."
Yang Tian's face was full of arrogance.
Zhang Heng sat down and decided to have a good fight with him, and said: "Don't say it so nicely, you touch your conscience and ask, are you going to get fame for high-ranking officials or to serve the court?" The current situation is that you can't serve the court, and you can't even support your own family, right? So I hope you recognize the reality. ”
"You... We're just in Taoguang. ”
Yang Tian was also so angry that his face turned red.
"Then you go ahead and keep quiet! Everyone, if you are willing to be a reporter in the newspaper, the monthly salary is four times, not counting dividends and rewards, you can come to me to sign up, after all, as long as you can be literate, it is still easy to recruit people. ”
Zhang Heng didn't want to talk to him about this, recruiting them as scholars would just help them get started faster.
"I'll come"
As soon as the words fell, many people also rushed up, shouting to sign up.
"Brother Wang, why did you go? Didn't you say you wouldn't go? ”
"Four times a month! Only fools don't go. ”
"Yes! There are four times a month, and my wife won't quarrel with me anymore. ”
Zhang Heng looked at the people who flocked up, and he couldn't help but be stunned, just now they were still righteous and arrogant, and they changed into a person in a blink of an eye.
And when Yang Tian saw this scene, his face couldn't help but sink.
At this time, a person next to him came over and said, "Brother Yang, what should I do now?" ”
Yang Tian immediately said: "We won't go along with them, and we will lose the bones of a scholar for the sake of those copper-smelling things." ”
"Brother Yang, I'm different from you, I still have a big family to raise, I'm sorry."
After that, the man immediately ran over to sign up.
Seeing this, Yang Tian was even more angry, his body trembled, although he also wanted to sign up in his heart, but he couldn't save face.
"Everyone, everyone will go to Shengping Club tomorrow, I will give you training, and everyone can leave."
Zhang Heng was holding a bunch of registration forms, and his face was full of bright smiles.
Immediately, a group of people also walked out one after another.
At this time, Yang Tian looked at the others with a smile on their faces, he was very happy, and he felt very uncomfortable, he knew that he would not be in the limelight.
Sun Jingxiang walked in front of Zhang Heng and said with a smile: "Your move is four runs, even these stubborn scholars can't resist it!" But wouldn't it be too much to recruit so many people at once? ”
"Being a journalist requires talent, some people are definitely not suitable, they will definitely not be able to stay when the time comes, and a group of people will be selected to be editors and reviewers."
Zhang Heng explained with a smile.
Immediately, the two chatted as they walked.
