Chapter 204: Please give me a plaque
The opening of a private school is on the agenda. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The first thing Xie Shen had to deal with was Zheng Xundao.
The young man now has a good relationship with Zheng Xundao, and some things can be said directly.
However, after Xie Shen and Zheng Xundao had a hearty conversation, Zheng Xundao agreed very happily, and proposed to only receive forty taels a year.
You must know that Zheng Xundao is not only a person now, but also an official instructor, which is not the same as Mr. Ren Xixi in Ningfu, Hangzhou.
What's more, Zheng Xundao is going to teach children from ordinary peasant families this time, which is much worse than the foundation of the Zhining family. In other words, Zheng Xundao has to spend more energy on these children.
Still Xie Shen couldn't stand it, so he insisted on adding the money to one hundred a year, which can be regarded as a whole.
After agreeing on the matter of Mr. Teaching, Xie Shen began to choose a house to use as a private school.
In this matter, Xie Shen fully solicited Zheng Xundao's opinion, and finally rented a cross-courtyard adjacent to the county school.
The reason why I chose this place is not because the rent is cheap, but because this yard is next to the county school.
The atmosphere and environment for learning is the most important thing in Xie Shen's view.
As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and this is especially true for these children whose minds are not yet mature.
Otherwise, there would be no story of Meng's mother's three migrations.
Xie Shen hopes that the successful experience of the county students can serve as a role model for these peasant children, and that they will one day be able to become famous in the examination.
The rent of this house is 50 guan a year, plus the bundle of 100 guan a year for Zheng Xundao, the cost is already 150 guan.
This does not include the desks and chairs to be purchased by the school, as well as the study utensils such as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
These are not the children of the family, they are all children of poor families, although Xie Shen has handed over the bundles for them and prepared the school, but if there is no pen, ink, paper and inkstone, they will still not be able to afford this school.
Xie Shen was deeply touched by this, and the eldest brother Xie Fang did not hesitate to carry a large bag of coolies in order to allow him to go to school, which shows that supporting a scholar is a huge expense.
Xie Shen will do his best to reduce the cost of schooling, so that they can focus on studying.
To get all this done, Xie Shen only took a few days, which can be regarded as very efficient.
Opening a school is a private act and a good deed, but there is one link that cannot be avoided no matter what, and that is the Wu County Order.
No matter what Wu Xianling said, he was also Yuyao's parent official, if Xie Shen bypassed him and opened a school directly, Wu Xianling would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Moreover, Xie Shen's teaching is still Zheng Xundao, which is an official establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
To be precise, Wu Xianling and Zheng Xundao still have a superior-subordinate relationship, although they are not directly subordinate, but their superiors are superiors.
If Wu Xianling wants to beat him for an excuse, he can completely take Zheng Xundao under the knife, after all, Zheng Xundao can also be regarded as openly taking private work.
Therefore, after Xie Shen rented the house, he went straight to the county office.
The official in front of the county government was already familiar with Xie Shen, and immediately let Xie Shen in.
The young man followed the official all the way through the hall and through the courtyard to the back office, and asked the county lord if he had been entangled in official business recently? ”
The official said: "How does Xie Xiaoxianggong know? ”
Xie Shen said lightly: "It's not strange, on weekdays, you go to report first, and then take me to see the county honor, but today you directly introduced me into the back office, I should be afraid that the two reports will annoy the county honor." ”
"Xie Xiaoxiang is really a Wenqu star, but this is only if you can report to the advanced county government without reporting, this is the county lord specially instructed to pass. If it is a change of people, the small one will not dare to let it in even if it eats the bear's heart and leopard gall. ”
Xie Shen was noncommittal about the compliments of the officials, and people had to be self-aware, and his status in the eyes of Wu County Ling was definitely not to such a point.
However, he said that the official entered the house with his front foot to report the Wu County Order, and Xie Shen followed him with his back foot.
I saw a hill of paperwork piled up on the ebony bookcase, and some shapes were scattered in the corner.
Wu County's order was "buried" by so many documents, and his face was very haggard.
Xie Shen thought about the wording for a while, but stepped forward and said, "The student meets the county honor!" ”
Wu Xianling waved his hand and said, "Xie Xiansheng is here, sit down!"
Xie Shen did not shirk and sat on the chair of the Yumu Nanguan hat.
With his understanding of Wu County's order, this one doesn't like to do things very personally.
The county government is actually a miniature version of the imperial court, with six rooms corresponding to six departments, and specific things can be handed over to the officials below. The county order only needs to be well checked and decided on some major matters.
But the situation in Yuyao is a bit special, there are too many people reading here, so there will be many disputes.
If it was just a dispute between farmers, most of them involved money, and Wu County Ling didn't bother to pay attention to it.
If there is a dispute between scholars, it is usually about reputation.
It's not good to send the people below to do it, otherwise it will be perfunctory.
For a county magistrate, in addition to having a good relationship between superiors and subordinates, the most important thing is to be of one mind with the local squire.
This is related to whether and what kind of achievements the county ordinance can make during the three-year term of office.
And the squires and celebrities are generally scholars, and most of them are famous and famous masters, showing off their talents.
Although Wu Xianling was born in the top three jinshi, he couldn't shout and drink in the face of these scholars. Otherwise, if these squires jointly impeach Wu County Order, it is a question whether Wu County Order can spend his term of office in peace.
Therefore, no matter how annoying these documents are, Wu County Order has to read them one by one.
Xie Shen naturally knew the reason, so he didn't ask rashly.
Wu County Ling didn't mean to complain about these things, and only said softly: "What is Xie Xiansheng asking to see this county?" ”
Xie Shen bowed to Wu County's commander and said, "The students are here to ask for something, and I ask the county to allow it." ”
Oh?
Wu Xianling suddenly became interested.
In his impression, Xie Shen was an extremely talented young man. This kind of person has a common trait, that is, pretentiousness. Although Xie Shen tried his best to restrain himself, he would show it more or less.
It's nothing, it's a young man, after all.
Wu Xianling was curious, why Xie Shen suddenly lowered his body and begged him.
The students went to the coastal barren beach to supervise the tenant farmers to build the embankment, and saw an old man crying about the hardships of life, so he started to build a private school and promote education. Only in this way can they see hope. ”
After a pause, Xie Shen suddenly changed his words.
"Since taking office, the county has focused on promoting culture and education, and the students really admire it, and they also want to do something for their hometown. He also asked the county to give a handwritten plaque, so that the students could hang it in front of the door of the private school, so that Yuyao scholars could feel the heart of the county as the imperial court to educate talents. ”
A hint of joy flashed in Wu Xianling's eyes.
This is the art of speaking!
