Although he learned the news of Guishan Academy from the farmer in the village, Du Shen could not give up the idea of opening a private school, after all, he was now poor and white, and he wanted to rely on the modern knowledge in his head to make money in this era, and he had no capital.

What kind of invention is made, but he is only a weak scholar, even if he understands the principle, but the actual operation can only be blind.

Therefore, Du Shen pondered it and found that he had no choice but to go to the dark along the way.

Let's ask the village first, if you can recruit students in the village, it is naturally good, if you can't recruit you, I'm afraid you will have to go to the capital.

Thanking the farmer, Du Shen turned his head and left.

The other party looked at the descendants of this village with a smile and waved at him.

……

After walking about twenty or thirty steps, we arrived at the entrance of the village.

There is a poplar tree at the entrance of Dujia Village, one of which is so thick that it is enough for two adult men to hug it, and many villagers sit under the tree, some old and some young.

Seeing Du Shen coming, everyone just looked up at him, and there was no change.

Du Shen didn't care, coughed lightly, and saluted the older villagers.

"Shenzhi has seen your uncles."

The official positions of the Ming Dynasty were different from those of the Tatar Qing Dynasty in later generations, from the introspection to the prefecture and then to the county, and then there was no specific official position, and there was no such thing as a village chief or a town head.

On weekdays, everything from military service and taxes to folk grievances is handled by respected villagers, and the status in Dujia Village is also the highest.

The villagers looked old, and under looking at each other, an old man with white hair raised his hand with great difficulty, and asked tremblingly, "Be cautious about this, what is the matter?" ”

Du Shen remembered this old man, his name was no longer known, and everyone called him Du Laohan on weekdays.

"Back to Du Lao, the kid wants to reopen a private school in the village, I don't know if Du Lao can give me some advice."

Du Laohan nodded slightly, he likes Du Shen more than a junior, although he has repeatedly failed to show talent, he is also quite well-behaved and likable.

"If you want to open a private school, there is no him, your father Liangwei is a teacher, but it is a good thing for the son to inherit his father's business, the second happiness of the Du Zhuang family seems to be going to school in Mongolia this year, you should ask him if he has any intentions."

As he spoke, Du Laohan pointed to a man sitting under the tree.

This man was quite strong, but his name matched, and his two arms were almost as thick as Du Shen's thighs, and he was the only blacksmith in the village.

Hearing Du Laohan's words, Du Shen's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly saluted, no, what he did was not courtesy, what he did was money......

"Uncle Zhuang, I wonder if Erxi can enter my school?"

Blacksmith Du Zhuang's face was bitter, he quickly waved his hand, and said in an urn voice: "I have already discussed with the family that I want to send Erxi to Guishan Academy to study Mengxue, be careful...... I'm sorry. ”

The corners of Du Shen's mouth twitched, and it was Guishan Academy again.

At this time, the blacksmith pointed to the farmer next to him and said, "Brother Xun, it seems that your baby hasn't thought about a place to go to school, so it's better to let him be a teacher, and they are all from the same village." ”

The crop man reacted more than him, and his head shook like a rattle, "This is not good, everyone knows that Shenzhi is not a reading material, and he has not even won the test a few times, my child's head is so bright, what if he is taught badly?" My mother-in-law will definitely make trouble. ”

seemed to react that his words were too straightforward, and the farmer hurriedly apologized: "Prudence, I didn't mean that, I mean that you can't read well, so don't teach people to read, isn't this a mistake?" ”

…… This seems to be getting darker and darker.

Du Shen had no choice but to smile reluctantly: "I understand what you mean, I understand." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the rest of the villagers, and everyone immediately dispersed, apologizing, and explaining that his children were not old enough to go to school for the time being, or they had decided to send them to Guishan Academy, or they were unwilling to let their children go to school, etc.

At this moment, Du Shen was embarrassed.

Originally, I wanted to earn some silver to support myself by opening a private school, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even recruit students, isn't the gap between reality and ideals a little too big?

God knows, he didn't even say how much he would charge for tuition!

If there are no students, there will be no tuition, if there is no tuition, there will be no money, and if there is no money, you will go hungry.

Could it be that I, Du Shen, am going to starve to death in Dujia Village?

Du Shen was extremely sad in his heart, he may be the saddest traverser in history, and he couldn't even eat, which was a shame for the traverser.

Cuckoo......

As soon as he talked about eating, Du Shen's stomach was upset, and he only drank two bowls of rice soup to fight hunger at all, which would have been digested.

Seeing this, Du Laohan, who was behind him, sighed distressedly, and took out a cake from his body and put it at Du Shen.

"Prudence, your father didn't leave any other family background except for three private schools, but it hurt you, but don't worry, I have always felt that you are a reading material, as long as you study hard, you will definitely have achievements in the future."

Du Shen was moved to catch it, and he almost burst into tears.

That's a good guy.

An old man and a young man each pinched one side of the cake and looked at each other.

Suddenly, in the crowd, I don't know who shouted.

"By the way, Du Laohan's grandson is also going to school this year, and he doesn't seem to have thought about whether to send his grandson to Guishan Academy......

Oh? And this kind of good thing!

Du Shen's eyebrows were raised, and he looked at Du Laohan with an eager face.

Du Laohan was worried in his heart, glared at the man, and then the smile on his face froze.

Although he is quite optimistic about this offspring, it does not mean that he is optimistic about Du Shen's ability!

Who in Dujia Village doesn't know that this is a reading scumbag?

His grandson is so smart, if it falls into the hands of Du Shen, can there still be good fruit to eat?

I'm afraid that I will teach everyone to be a fruit......

"Hehe, Shenzhi, in fact, your father told me before he died, you are not a scholar......"

Du Shen: ......

After Du Laohan finished speaking, he lowered his eyes embarrassedly and looked at the piece of cake.

Du Shen's eyes widened, do you still want to go back?

Afraid that Du Laohan would take the cake back again, he hurriedly stuffed the cake into his arms with lightning speed, and then arched his hand and said: "Since the heirs of your uncle's family have already made a plan, then the kid won't bother, farewell, goodbye!" ”

Hey, people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining!

Du Shen walked out of Dujia Village with grief and indignation, biting the piece of cake while thinking angrily.

What kind of Guishan Academy, I, are all a group of rotten Confucians, can such a academy teach one, two, three?

They are clearly destroying the flowers and bones of my Ming Dynasty......

Thinking of this, Du Shen took a bite of the cake viciously, and then stuffed the remaining half into his arms.

The cake was a bit big, and he was going to save half of it for supper in the evening.

As he walked, Du Shen pondered what he should do.

Nowadays, it is difficult to recruit students in Dujia Village, and even some nearby villages and towns are unlikely to make achievements.

In this case, it is better to go directly to the capital, Dujia Village can't recruit students, so the old man will go to the capital to recruit, if he doesn't recruit a rich student this time, he won't go back to Dujia Village.

The capital is not far from Dujia Village, and it is convenient for the students recruited to come to school at that time.

Du Shen didn't think that the huge Guishan Academy didn't put the other courtyards in the capital, and it was clear that it couldn't recruit students, so how could he recruit them?
