Chapter 160: Competition
Ask for red tickets, ask for collections!
King Huai is short-tempered, straight, impatient, and very willful, and does whatever he wants to do immediately, so although he often goes out of the house day and night to run errands and have fun, but life is not regular.
Hou Jiang, who is secretly investigating, is experienced, and it is not without gains.
For example, he found that whether King Huai was going out or returning home, he liked to walk the most spacious and prosperous streets nearby.
The convoy is very long, the guards are brightly armored, and there are many knives and guns, which is very magnificent.
King Huai holds his own royal status, and he likes to show off, and he has to show a superior posture at all times.
There are a few routes to go home and out that are relatively fixed, and if you wait for the rabbit, you can always encounter them every few days.
Hou Jiang began to look for a suitable place to act on these streets.
Finally, my eyes were on a tall restaurant.
You can go up to the second floor in advance, and jump off directly when the Huaiwang carriage passes.
As long as you can jump in front of the carriage where King Huai is riding, according to Jiang Long, if the power of that thing is really so great, then King Huai will definitely die!
Hou Jiang lowered his head and drank on the second floor of the restaurant, he was already middle-aged, unlike when he was young, he always used a big bowl to drink, and he didn't know moderation.
The question now is to find out which carriage King Huai will take.
When King Huai left the palace, there were many carriages in his party, although the largest and most luxurious one was the carriage for King Huai, but who could be sure that King Huai must be sitting in that carriage?
When many high-ranking officials and nobles traveled, in order to avoid being assassinated by their enemies, they were cautious, and would sit in their sedan chairs or carriages in rows.
In order to confuse, let the enemy find the wrong target.
After a while, I cut off the heads of several prisoners today, and climbed from the first floor to the second floor in a square plate that had changed into a new shirt at home.
"Sit."
Fang Pan approached, Hou Jiang hoarsely voiced, picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl for him.
“xiexie!” Fang Pan is young and strong, and he naturally uses a bowl to drink, and after drinking it all in one gulp, Fang Pan said in a deep voice: "Mr. has arranged everything?" ”
"You tell Shangguan that there is something wrong, and you will ask for leave in a few days, and you will be executed several times in these two days." Hou Jiang poured another bowl of spirits into the square plate.
"Hmm." Fang Pan replied in a muffled voice.
"Take your leave and bring what I gave you to come here every day."
"Hmm."
"Looking through this window, there is a coffin shop more than ten zhang away on the right hand side on the opposite side, if I find an opportunity, I will give you a gesture there to let you know which carriage King Huai is riding in, and then you need to jump to the side of the carriage......"
"I won't let you down."
"You are used to killing people, and hatred has always been buried in your heart, I know you are bold, but there is only one chance to assassinate this kind of thing, and you can't be too nervous, so I allow you to retreat at a critical moment, if you are too nervous and strong, it can only be bad." Hou Jiang's voice was steady.
"Well, the scarlet ......"
"She's very good, but in the future, she won't be called Yinghong, she changed her name, I bought her a shop in a small town, the income is not high, but it should be no problem to feed her and the child in her belly, usually save some money tightly, and it will be enough for the child to go to private school in the future."
If it's a boy, maybe your son will be able to participate in the imperial examination in the future. ”
Fang Pan just scratched his head, grinned innocently, and his face was full of sunshine.
Although Hou Jiang just said it casually, he was still very happy!
Another day passed.
Early in the morning, a eunuch came to the printing house to read the holy decree.
Today, even Cheng Guogong also came to the printing house, this is the first time Jiang Long has seen Cheng Guogong, but the two just looked at each other and did not have a deep conversation.
Sometimes when people communicate with each other, one look is enough.
The eunuch read out the holy decree, and the printing house, including Jiang Long and Chengguo Gong, all fell to their knees.
The matter is simple, but the holy decree written is unusually profound and complicated, and it took a long time to read half a pillar of incense before the eunuch handed over the holy decree to Jiang Long and went back to the palace.
At the same time, fifteen small children were left behind.
Some of these children were white-skinned and dressed in brocade shirts, while others were dressed in cloth clothes.
There were even two little children, only three or four years old.
"Boy, are you really sure you can win Fang Yue?" Cheng Guogong walked over and asked with a smile.
Fang Yue is the editor of the Hanlin Academy, although he is not yet thirty years old this year, but he has a wide range of knowledge, outstanding talents, and he has studied under the great Confucianism of the court, and his future prospects are limitless.
Jiang Long wants to compare with him to see who can teach children better.
The Confucian scholars in the central government and many private school teachers in the capital had a quarrel at this time, saying that small talk would have affected the students' schoolwork, causing the students to lose their minds and ask the emperor to order the seizure of the Bogu Tongjin Printing House.
If you look for reasons to compare it with it from the front, then it is difficult to gain the upper hand.
Therefore, Jiang Longjian went to the side, saying that reading the book is also beneficial for students, I don't believe that everyone can compare, and they all come to enlighten illiterate children, and it is limited to seven days to see who teaches the children to be more literate.
If Jiang Long proposed it, the emperor would not pay attention to it at all, and only regarded it as a joke.
But the printing house is related to the interests of the Chengguo Mansion, and it was proposed by the Chengguo Prince, so the emperor has to weigh it and cannot dispose of it at will.
Many things are easy to say, but only when it hurts the interests of some people, the emperor cannot be careless.
What's more, the Chai family is a top wealthy family in Daqi, holding military power and having a great reputation.
Emperor Zuihou agreed to the competition.
Originally, some great Confucians in the DPRK and China criticized the novels, but Jiang Long was only fifteen or sixteen years old, how could these great Confucians surrender their identities and compete with Jiang Long in person?
In the end, I chose Fang Yue, who was full of poetry and books.
At this time, Fang Yue also received the holy decree, and there were fifteen more children in the house.
"Little things." Jiang Long chuckled softly at Cheng Guogong.
"Good!"
Cheng Guogong didn't communicate much with Jiang Long, and hahadaxiao just left.
"The sales of this book will definitely not be good for a while, but if you continue to press the goods, when I win, the sales of Fang Yue's book will increase immediately." Jiang Long beckoned Chai Shirong to come over, and said, "You have to pay attention to the affairs of the printing house."
Also, hurry up and urge the study stewards everywhere to clean up the embroidery and puppet shops within seven days. ”
Jiang Long won tens of thousands of taels of silver from An Lehou, and he had already given it to Chai Shirong, and asked Chai Shirong to use it to help those study stewards buy shops.
The shop has already been bought, but it needs to be renovated before it can be used.
Jianglong wants to build a chain store, so the stores everywhere must be decorated to the same, which is of great benefit to the brand.
"I will supervise the printing house here, and I will not slack off." Chai Shirong nodded first, then looked left and right and whispered: "Do you want to take advantage of the opportunity of the big victory to open an embroidery and puppet shop?" ”
"Well, when I teach these kids, I'll use those embroideries and puppets."
Jiang Long smiled.
"Why do I think that any trouble in your hands will turn into a good thing?" Chai Shirong suddenly sighed.
An Le Hou Mansion was looking for trouble, but Hu Deshen was deprived of his family property.
Now that the Confucian and many private school gentlemen are stirring up trouble, as long as Jiang Long can win, he can take the opportunity to put embroidery and puppets on the market.
“haha!”
Jiang Long Daxiao, leaving with the children.
To teach children, it is necessary to have a quiet environment, and it is naturally best to be on the farm.
The printing house is too noisy here.
Chai Shirong sent it to the door.
"Don't forget what I've told you." Jiang Long turned over and got on his horse.
The children were placed in several carriages.
Chai Shirong waved his hand, "Don't worry!" ”
Jiang Long led the way in front, and the group left the capital, and an hour later, returned to the farm.
At the time of departure, Jiang Long sent guards to ride fast horses to report to Jingfu and Farm.
After Mrs. Jing got the news, she sent an escort back to pass the word.
said let Jiang Long do it, even if he loses, it doesn't matter.
On the farm side, Lin Ya, jade hairpin, and treasure vase are greeted by people at the entrance of the village.
Seeing the slender figure of the three girls from a distance, Jiang Long clamped the horse's belly between his legs, sped up a little, and came to the front and turned over and dismounted briskly.
Jiang Long has not stopped exercising, and there are tonic pills to drink, and Liliang has greatly increased.
Now facing three or five sturdy big men, he has a dagger in his hand, and he can put them all down without much effort.
"Xianggong."
"Little master."
The three girls stepped forward to salute one after another.
Jiang Long hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the three girls up one by one, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so polite. ”
"The kids are sitting in the carriage in the back?" Lin Ya glanced at the direction of the convoy that was still walking behind, and asked in a low voice.
Seeing a touch of worry on Lin Ya's beautiful face, Jiang Long helped her smooth the hair on her forehead, "Ya'er is also literate, and she can help her husband this time." ”
"Really?"
Lin Ya's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, and then frowned and said: "The concubine is afraid of insufficient ability, and she will delay the big thing of the princess again." ”
"What's the big deal about just teaching a few children to read?"
"But if you lose the competition, you can't continue to print it."
"When it comes to knowledge, the subset of scriptures and histories I have read and the books written by the sage, it is true that the husband is far inferior to the master Fang Yuefang, but when it comes to teaching children to read and write, he will not be the opponent of the husband." Jiang Long had a confident smile on his face.
In this era, filial piety comes out under the stick!
In private schools, when teaching children, corporal punishment is also commonly used.
At every turn, hit the palm of your hand with a bamboo board.
Of course, corporal punishment and scolding do have some uses, but if you really want to teach children well, the most important thing is the method of guidance.
Let the child be afraid first, so as to listen to you and study seriously.
It is far less than making children interested and learning faster.
The private school gentlemen of Daqi give children enlightenment books are also relatively rigid, thinking that learning should naturally be rigorous and very formal.
It can be said that the students of the private school take care of themselves when they teach their studies.
Based on Jiang Long's experience, he teaches children to read and write, focusing on how children can learn better and faster.
Seven days later, the children taught by Jiang Long competed with the children taught by Fang Yue.
See who teaches the children who are more literate and understand more truths.
Thus determining the winner or loser.
Today is the first day, and after the carriage entered the farm, Jiang Long did not let the children into the house to sit and study honestly, but took the children to the edge of the farmland.
Jiang Long took a lot of guards to protect the safety of the children and not get lost.
Then let the children run and play in the fields to their heart's content.
Originally, when the children left their parents and elders, they were surrounded by strangers, and they were very reserved and afraid.
All homesick.
But after a while of playing, I relaxed.
And because Jiang Long was always smiling, Lin Ya, Yu Hai, and the three daughters of the treasure bottle obeyed Jiang Long's words and kept giving them delicious snacks, so they gradually let down their instinctive vigilance against Jiang Long and others.
I have a good impression.
It's a haode start!
