"The five surnames and seven hopes have set up a plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and spend a lot of money to buy those students with good qualifications in the school, but they ignore the gentlemen in the school."

"Actually, my method is very simple, just assign a few tasks to the gentleman of the government-run school. Not to mention the five surnames and seven looks, even the Ministry of Rites and the Guozijian will not notice. ”

Li Chengqian asked puzzledly, "What task?" Can you give everyone a thorough question, and still be discovered? I can't think of it. ”

Xiao Rui smiled, "Then I'll test you." The first task I gave them was – no one should be missing. Of course, it was issued through a decree of the imperial court, and it was the sixth product in charge, but he thought it was just a simple decree. ”

"What's not missing?"

"Datang has opened government-run schools, which are located in almost all prefectures and counties, and they are aimed at the poor people. Although the tuition fees are waived and the price of the three books of Mengxue is extremely cheap, a half-old child is a strong laborer in the families of those poor people, and many families are still reluctant to send their children to school in order to cultivate and grow more food. ”

"Or let the child read and write only in his spare time, and fish for three days and dry the net for two days, which is not good."

"One cannot be missing, as the name suggests, but all the students who come to register for school, there can be no dropouts, because of farming and work absent from school, Mr. Xuetang will go to visit the home and advise the parents of the children to provide their children with education."

Li Chengqian suddenly realized, "Oh...... I understand that in this way, those scholars will have a deeper understanding of the people's suffering, and they will have more opportunities to deal with the people. ”

Xiao Rui nodded and smiled: "Not bad." Exactly. Only by understanding people's livelihood can they apply what they have learned to change the status quo, and they will naturally reflect on how they can change this dilemma. ”

"Not only that, but when they visit their homes, they encounter all kinds of problems, such as some children have to drop out of school because their parents are sick and need to serve their parents. Some children are bullied and cannot study with peace of mind......"

"If all these problems are solved, then he is not a simple teacher, and a county magistrate will almost do these things."

Li Chengqian nodded: "Yes, the duties of a county magistrate include advising farmers, adjudicating cases and disputes, preaching and indoctrination, etc., and your method seems to be to train them to be county magistrates." ”

Xiao Rui laughed, "Not bad! They were originally prepared prefectural orders. When they were once recruited to teach, they were taught for five years, and the imperial court gave them official grades and hired them on the basis of merit. ”

"My Datang is too short of talents, and most of the literate people are the children of the nobles of the family, and I want the poor family to rise slowly, and I will have ten or twenty years by slowly teaching scientific examinations."

But in fact, true learning is not necessarily in books. When a county magistrate is very simple, he can deal with the above problems, there is no need to be familiar with the scriptures and meanings, and he only needs to be literate, reasonable, and do things properly. ”

"The five-year teaching career in the government-run school seems to be letting them teach and learn from each other, but in fact, it is the biggest test and training for these teachers."

Hiss......

"Brother-in-law, why do you have such a long mind? Can you think of such a solution? Don't let outsiders guess, just now I am face to face with you, listening to your careful analysis, and I almost didn't keep up with your calculations. Li Chengqian was completely convinced.

Calculate?

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "I didn't calculate anyone. It's just that starting from reality, he helped Datang to cultivate a group of capable grassroots officials. ”

"By the way, in addition to this one, there is also a second decree, that is, when Mr. Xuetang is free, he needs to go to the local county office to help as a clerk. In this way, they can get in touch with some case files, and even directly participate in the judgment of county decrees, etc., which makes up for their lack of knowledge of imperial decrees. ”

"Then, it's time to work on the problem. The question I came up with is the daily life that these school gentlemen want to come into contact with, hehe...... If they can't answer this, it can only be said that they are not suitable to be officials. ”

"No, more than 200 in the exam at one time, and the remaining ninety percent are not in the exam, go back to teach honestly, at the end of the five-year term, give them a basic official position, but do not call them officials, and are still responsible for teaching."

"If the inspector finds that they can't even teach well, hehe, it's really useless to read, and they will resign and return home to farm."

"Hey, what do you think? A sluggish face? Xiao Rui shook his hand in front of Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian came back to his senses, "I'm reminiscing about it, your tricks are endless, and I almost can't remember it." I have to remember it well, and when I return to the palace, I can explain it to my father, so as not to make any mistakes. ”

"By the way, brother-in-law, my father said that I should marry Ning'er, you are a matchmaker, so you have to come forward to contact the Cui family."

Xiao Rui smiled, "This matter is simple, the original appointment, if I win the imperial examination, they will take the initiative to send my daughter over." No one in this world dares to owe me Xiao Rui's account. However, you and Ning'er have a very close relationship, and it's not easy to be too embarrassed, I asked people to prepare a generous gift to send to Qinghe to save their faces, and they have nothing to say if they want to. ”

Li Chengqian said gratefully: "Well, I thank my brother-in-law for Ning'er." ”

"Hehe, these are just small things on face. Your Majesty asked me to contact the Qinghe Cui family, not just for the personal feelings of your sons and daughters. Xiao Rui said meaningfully.

Yes? Is there any other covert operation that I don't know about? Li Chengqian asked curiously.

"In this imperial examination, the nobles of the family lost and knocked out their arrogance, and it was time for them to fulfill the gambling contract. His Majesty wants me to come forward and help him subdue these people. And I don't have a good relationship with other families, but the Qinghe Cui family, with the bond of you marrying Cui Ning'er, the Qinghe Cui family will be the one with the five surnames and seven hopes in the future. ”

Oooh...... I see!

"And what if they're still not convinced?" Li Chengqian asked.

Xiao Rui sneered: "That is, I don't know the number of days, and the misfortune of the Boling Cui clan is an example." ”

Ahem...... If so, I don't think they would be so unwise.

An hour later, the two returned to Xiaojiazhuang in a carriage, and all the family members came out to greet them. Princess Xiangcheng looked at it distressedly, for fear that her husband would suffer something in the prison of the Criminal Department.

"Sister, don't look at it, in this world, except for my brother-in-law, who would dare to treat him badly? I went to pick up my brother-in-law myself. He was imprisoned for two days, and he directly frightened the old man and returned to his hometown."

Everyone laughed, and Princess Xiangcheng glanced at her, "Your brother-in-law is already in poor health, and I have too much for two days." ”

"Ahem! Madam, there is no one like you to talk like this, the husband is in good health......" said and slapped his chest twice, "Ahem......"

It may be that the hammer is too strong, and the violent coughing made Xiao Rui's face flushed, causing a group of boys to laugh, Xiangcheng, Wei Yanran, Li Shengnan, and the three ladies hurriedly stepped forward to support them, rushing to care.

Li Chengqian secretly gave a thumbs up, and his brother-in-law criticized ...... A role model for our generation!
