Section 36 Competition
The news of the Guards Battalion's heading south made Yu Shenhe a little excited.
"Will it be the general who leads the troops?" It has been two years since the incident, and Jiang Qingyue also got in touch with her family a few days ago, and it is said that her husband and in-laws are good and support her to run a school. Everyone in the family said that the girl was messing around, but worry has completely replaced anger, and Yu Shenhe also knows about this matter, if there is still any remnant of their anger now, it is all aimed at Xu Ping, and Yu Shenhe's feelings are quite complicated when he mentions the issue of leading the army.
"Hopefully," Li Dingguo wisely stopped talking about the issue, "I think it should be." ”
In fact, no, at least now the reinforcements to the south are still led by Liu Zongmin, this period of time as the war situation is getting worse and worse, Prime Minister Niu Jinxing has discovered more and more hidden secrets, and finally Li Zicheng found that his initial understanding of the Jinan mutiny case was completely wrong, and the Henan defense envoy was greatly deceived by the profiteers.
However, it was useless to change Li Zicheng's attitude, when Niu Jinxing discovered this mistake, the situation in the south no longer allowed Dashun to delay any longer, and before the army left, Niu Jinxing sent envoys to Shandong several times, Xu Ping refused to come out of the place of house arrest, and even refused to go to Beijing to see Li Zicheng.
For the last time, the anxious envoy of the imperial court couldn't help but shout at Xu Ping, but what he replied was: If the Mandate of Heaven is in Dashun, he is not afraid if he does not go out of the mountain, and if the Mandate of Heaven is not there, it is useless for him to go out of the mountain.
Niu Jinxing and the cabinet stayed awake all night, and in the end they still did not have the courage to forward such a great rebellion to King Shun, and in the report they sent to Li Zicheng in the city wolf's den, they said that Xu Ping was suffering from dysentery and could not go north for a while, and it was not enough that he might join the army in Jinan.
The problem in front of the cabinet now is: Liu Zongmin is not a good talker, if he yells and shouts after Xu Ping meets and reveals everything in front of King Shun, this may lead to a lot of trouble - of course, it is not necessarily impossible to carry it, Li Zicheng is relatively soft-hearted, as long as you can carry out a bunch of truths for the country and the people, the possibility of mixing up is still very great.
In addition, Liu Zongmin's cabinet also sent lobbyists, if Liu Zongmin can be persuaded to focus on the overall situation, the country, and in this grim situation, to focus on civil and military harmony, and not to toss blindly, then of course there will be no trouble in front of King Shun.
In the end, it was also a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, that is, to persuade Xu Ping to put the society and the people first before the reinforcements arrived in Jinan, and to regain control of the army, in order to persuade Xu Ping's cabinet to throw their bombshell - Wu Sangui, the king of Liao, who had made a special trip from Liaodong to act as a lobbyist, had already rushed to Shandong to meet with Xu Ping before the reinforcements.
……
As in Fujian and Guangxi, campaign tactics are still evolving rapidly, and Dr. Su of the Guangzhou Mansion has recently hired more and more lawyers and bookkeepers — who now have a new name as accountants.
In addition to accounting, Dr. Su also needs more subordinates who know how to calculate, they are responsible for calculating how to use campaign funds, calculating the bottom line of the negotiator, calculating how to get the most votes with the least amount of money, and also need to design a winning strategy through calculations.
Walking on the way to the office, Dr. Su kept greeting the people around him, and the staff around him skillfully whispered to Dr. Su in a whisper that outsiders could not perceive to hint at the surname of the next voter he met, of course, they could not remember every face, but with the help of these staff, the smiling Dr. Su could bring satisfaction to more voters.
Billboards lined the streets with the sight of a thriving presence for more than a decade, and even more so in recent years, with many residents protesting against their neighbors who had sold so many advertising spaces that the entire neighborhood was not seeing sunlight day after day.
Legitiating restrictions on the height and number of billboards would hurt the interests of advertisers and would mean a loss of campaign funds, but it would win the goodwill of some residents—this matter was not for Dr. Su, and the staff he hired did not have enough computing power to see the pros and cons, so this could only be a battlefield for the provincial secretary of the court.
"Arithmetic starts, three days of free trial."
"Introduction to arithmetic, free listening to those below 30 points in the graduation assessment."
"Nancheng Arithmetic School, Introductory Class, Intermediate Class, Advanced Class."
The billboards on both sides of Dr. Su have recently been flooded with arithmetic advertisements, not only these politicians, but also various commercial houses are devouring more and more scarce arithmetic talents, and more and more technical schools are beginning to assess the arithmetic foundation of applicants when recruiting students. Therefore, schools in Guangdong Province have opened arithmetic courses, not to mention a large number of arithmetic colleges, and even private school gentlemen who used to only teach literacy and hyphenation have signed up to learn arithmetic, and reproduced the hoarding and selling land to teach their students.
""Fanatical arithmetic, quickly know the mysteries of arithmetic."
"One-on-one arithmetic, easy and enjoyable to master arithmetic."
""I wish you to become a master of arithmetic", sixty days to become a master of arithmetic from beginner to proficient, and there is an abacus that comes with the book!"
These books that teach arithmetic are now bestsellers, and of course every author is able to do arithmetic, but Dr. Su has some doubts in his heart that people who are excellent in arithmetic must also have the ability to teach, but this is not what booksellers care about. A few days ago, an arithmetic teacher at Xiamen University published a book called "My Arithmetic Talent Can Be Copied", which was an instant hit, popular in several provinces, and recently many arithmetic teachers in the university either actively or passively cooperated with booksellers to start writing books, and if they couldn't write themselves, booksellers would find someone to write on their behalf, and then publish them under their names.
Not long ago, Qi Guogong's words at the Constituent Assembly detonated the already critical state of arithmetic fever, it is said that a legislator casually mentioned the increasingly widespread application of arithmetic during casual chat, and the growing shortage of arithmetic talents, and Qi Guogong replied: "I feel that sooner or later, we will have a mathematics class for everyone, starting from children, and all schools will teach it." ”
After this sentence was revealed, it was quoted by a large number of arithmetic schools and advertisements for arithmetic books, and caused this craze to start thinking about the development of younger people.
"Arithmetic and learning, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world."
"If you want to get rich, count first."
These new advertisements are encouraging families to put their savings aside to invest in their next generation, that is, to educate teenagers in arithmetic, which is becoming a new source of profit for the publishing industry, according to the calculations of the arithmetic professionals employed by the various publishers.
On the billboard that Dr. Su had just walked by, there was a young man with his head held high, behind him was a sunny flat avenue, the smile on his face was even brighter than that of Dr. Su at the moment, this young man held a book tightly to his chest, next to it was a column of large letters:
"Juvenile Arithmetic Education - Don't let your child lose at the starting line."
On the blank space under these billboards, another advertisement is constantly repeated: Recruiting painters and painters, with good salary, including food and accommodation.
"Why didn't I study arithmetic in the first place?" After entering the office, Dr. Su's chief aide looked out the window with some jealousy, as a Shaoxing master who knew nothing about arithmetic, his opinions were now declining when discussing campaign strategies, and the owner was more and more inclined to the statistics, tables and snake-like curves that other aides took out.
"It's not too late." Dr. Su smiled and said to his confidant that he attached great importance to the reminders and suggestions that this master gave him in interpersonal relationships. As for the future, Dr. Su can see much more than his chief staff, now it is not the officialdom of the past, it is impossible to rely on the efforts of a master to survive, all the doctors and officials who think so have become former doctors and former officials.
"Does the owner think that thing works?" The chief of staff pointed to an arithmetic stall on the street - the former fortune-telling stall, and the blind man still had that omniscient smile on his face, and the spokes on both sides of the stall read: "Ancestral arithmetic method, the secret of Longhu Mountain." ”
"If the secret book of Longhu Mountain is sold more expensive than the ancestral heirloom of Zhang Blind, it is only a penny and a piece of goods." The chief of staff didn't have time to go to a refresher course, and he didn't think he had time to read the self-study materials of the big book, but the two booklets sold at the fortune-telling booth were said to have a quick effect, and they incorporated Taoist mental methods.
"Lao Zheng, I don't need you to learn, besides, I don't think this thing is useless, haven't you heard Doctor Ye scolding for a few days?" Dr. Su persuaded.
A few days ago, Dr. Ye went to two monks who had turned into a relationship, not only took away some donations, but also sold Dr. Ye a booklet on this arithmetic, which seemed to be called "Buddha's Eyes on Arithmetic - Epiphany" or something, but Dr. Ye meditated for more than ten nights, but still did not realize anything.
"Okay, don't think about that, if you want to, let's go to an arithmetic class." Dr. Su asked, "What about the accountant to be hired?" Did you find someone? ”
"No," replied the chief of staff apologetically, "accountants are now being hired everywhere, and the amount of silver that comes from the people who come is too high, and ...... And there is no real ability of those who come to apply. ”
"If you really have the ability, you won't come to me, a small doctor from the Imperial Palace." Dr. Su laughed self-deprecatingly, the political competition in Guangdong has reached an unprecedented level of white-hot proportions, a large number of rich people let their children and nephews get involved in politics, or simply go into battle shirtless, they bring a lot of wealth, squander it in a short period of time and then withdraw disgracefully. But there are more newcomers pouring in, and many people don't understand what is going on in the current Guangdong officialdom, and they are ruthlessly eliminated before they can figure it out. But these people make life very difficult for people like Dr. Su, and those black-hearted little party leaders use a bright future to coax these guys who have never seen the world and fantasize about being officials and parents, and trick them into renting expensive offices, paying party dues up to the legal limit, and hiring a surprising number of staff members - telling these unlucky guys that this will guarantee success. Every year, a large number of people enter politics with great hope and then withdraw gloomily, and this vicious competition is a great problem for a small parliamentarian like Dr. Su, who is not only determined to survive, but also has a grand ambition to become a provincial secretary and one day become a heavyweight in the Kuomintang in Guangdong.
"There is a girls' school in the east of the city," Dr. Su handed an address to the chief of staff, and said, "When I go to see Boss Ma in a while, you can go there." ”
"We don't do cotton or embroidery, so what kind of work do we go to the women's technical school?" The chief of staff asked inexplicably.
"It's a girls' school, not an embroidery or spinning school, and I'm not looking for female workers." Dr. Su asked his chief of staff to take a closer look at the school's introduction, which was a piece of news he had received from his relatives yesterday.
"Ha ......" The chief of staff couldn't help but laugh after reading it: "This Jiang family lady ...... Jiang Girls' School"
"It's not the Jiang family's lady, it's ...... I forgot whose wife it was, her surname was Jiang when she was a girl, but when she opened a girls' school, she used her father's surname instead of her husband's surname. ”
"Oh, this in-law can also ......" The chief of staff suddenly understood, of course the in-laws would agree, they would rather lose the face of their in-laws than lose their own.
"They also teach arithmetic, and they claim to have a group of students who are good at accounting."
The chief of staff laughed out loud again: "Boss, the woman plans to plate, haha, the woman plans to plate." ”
"My grandmother can also do the calculations, although it is very simple, and they must not be able to play the abacus, but I can't sit here and wait for the salary of the accountant to come down." Dr. Su didn't laugh along.
"Are you serious, host?" The chief of staff curled his smile and suddenly realized that the owner might not be joking.
"I'm serious, and it's said that there are still people who can be clerks." Doctor Su nodded first, and then added: "The scribe is too expensive now, if there is one over there that can be used, help me hire one first." ”
"Let the women write, and let them copy the papers—each one has at least hundreds or thousands of words!" The chief of staff admits that they are short of manpower, but he is still shocked by Dr. Su's assumption that he is trying to leave important work to women!
"I went to the doctor in a hurry." Dr. Su did not deny this, and Jiang's Girls' School agreed with the employer to evaluate the standard of male employees: "So you have to go and check carefully." ”
"It's writing, counting! It is not embroidery, the sole. The chief of staff once again solemnly protested.
"I know," Dr. Su spread his hands, he knew that the chief of staff would compromise in the end, after all, he couldn't conjure up money, right: "This Principal Jiang said that her students can take the same exams as men, and only half of their wages after passing." ”
"They can't get through," asserted the chief of staff, "and you have to use your brains to write and do arithmetic." ”
"Maybe there will be a talented girl inside, anyway, it doesn't hurt to try, if there is," Dr. Su stretched out three fingers: "Hire it with thirty percent of the money." ”
