Chapter 161: Founding a New School

After making up his mind, Shao Xi turned around and pulled Hao Yi aside, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Hao, there are so many children with you, how can you take care of them?" Looking at your current situation, I'm afraid that you can't even eat enough, how can you continue with so many children? It's not always the way to go. ”

Hao Yi's face was full of helplessness and unwillingness, and he sighed heavily.

"What Shao Gongzi said is the truth, and now the school really can't open the pot, and every day he has to save his own rations so that the children can eat more. To be honest, after today, I haven't thought about how to live tomorrow, but what can I do? If these children are left alone, they will only starve to death and freeze to death on the streets, and how can a person who has read the books of the sages watch these things happen? I'm really incompetent and powerless about it, but I won't give up on these children no matter what. ”

It can be seen that every word of Hao Yi comes from the bottom of his heart, and he regards his students as his life and is willing to dedicate everything he has to his students, which is also the main reason why people have regarded teachers as sages for many years. The so-called heaven, earth, king, parent, and teacher, the first three are just people's awe, and the latter two are the true respect from the heart.

Shao Xi pondered with his thumb on his chin for a while, then looked up and said to Hao Yi: "I have an idea, but I don't know if Mr. Hao is willing?" ”

As soon as Hao Yi heard that Shao Xi had an idea, he immediately became excited, and hurriedly asked, "What can Shao Gongzi do?" As long as you can solve the food and clothing of these children, you can do whatever you want. ”

"I don't want to just donate money to solve the immediate difficulties, but I can't sustain them for a long time. So I plan to build this current school into a real school, and all the necessary resources will be provided by me, but one thing, all the students in the school are my protégés, and no matter what profession they enter in the future, they will respect me as a teacher, are you willing? ”

What does that mean? This is the student you teach is not your student, but my student. Although the knowledge is imparted by you, when students go out to introduce their teachers, they introduce me, not you.

This is like the students taught by many gentlemen in Bailu Academy, who are ultimately Bai Dinggong's disciples, but there are internal and external disciples, and other gentlemen teach outer disciples, and Bai Dinggong personally teaches inner disciples. But in the end, they are all students of Bai Dinggong.

Shao Xi is doing this now, is it considered to take advantage of others' danger?

Calculate! It doesn't count!

Hao Yi himself worked hard to bring out this batch of children, if he really has any achievements in the future, it will not fall to him, because all the children are Shao Xi's protégés. Shao Xi put forward such conditions and requirements at this time, which is indeed a danger from a certain point of view.

But from another point of view, Shao Xi spent such a large amount of money to establish the school, and you Hao Yi taught a group of students to gain fame and fortune in the future, what benefits did Shao Xi get? A bunch of poor kids can't even afford to pay their school fees. Therefore, such a quid pro quo is not a danger of taking advantage of others, but rather a win-win situation in the current situation.

Originally, Shao Xi thought that Hao Yi would hesitate, but he didn't want Hao Yi to even think about it, so he nodded and agreed without thinking, which more or less surprised Shao Xi.

Human nature is profit-seeking, even greedy, and the more difficult it is, the more we can see the dark side of human nature.

Although many people will choose to temporarily give up long-term interests in the future in order to solve the immediate difficulties, this kind of abandonment is not from the heart, but a stopgap measure.

It's profit-seeking!

Therefore, most people will hesitate more or less when faced with this choice, after all, no one can say which day they will do it again, and they are afraid that one day they will regret it because of today's choice.

That's greed!

Hao Yi's reaction at this time proved that he had never cared about his future, never thought about what he would get from these children in the future, but only wanted to take good care of these children and raise them to be self-reliant. is so disregarding personal gains and losses, and does not care about personal interests, he is the gentleman in Shao Xi's eyes.

Since Mr. Hao did not object, then the matter was settled. When the masons and carpenters come, they will repair the houses here for a while, and you will take your children here first, and then I will look for a good property in the city, and you will move there with your children after the school is established. In the future, the gentlemen invited in the school will be managed by you, but my school has a requirement, only accept poor students, not the children of rich eunuchs, all the fees for the students who enter the school are free, and the food, clothing and housing are also funded by the school, but after the completion of the school, whether it is to open a hall in the future, or to become an official, you can only use the name of the school. ”

This means that after you graduate, if you want to open your own school, you can only be a branch of my school; Although I am nominally the examiner's protégé, no matter where I go in the future, I will have to be the one when introducing the teacher.

This kind of requirement is actually harsh, which is equivalent to tying other people's lives to themselves forever, but did students from poor backgrounds have the choice? Since you don't have a choice, why don't you recognize the schools and teachers who provide you with food, drink for yourself, and train yourself to become talented?

Hao Yi didn't feel anything wrong with Shao Xi's request, someone was willing to spend a lot of money to set up a school to take him and these children in, so that he could devote himself to the cause of teaching and educating people, it was a great opportunity for him, fame and fortune were not so important to him, he just wanted to take care of the group of children around him and had nothing else to ask for.

Hao Yi remembered Childe's kindness, and from now on, these children will no longer have to be displaced and left unattended. In the next to the son of the promise that the students will respect the son as a teacher when they enter the childe school, and will teach them to be grateful from an early age, and not to forget the grace of the child's education after they have completed the study. ”

Mei Ruoyan happened to come over and hear the conversation between the two after finishing her busy work at this time, and she had both surprise and appreciation in her heart. I was surprised that Shao Xi actually gave such a big gift here, and what I appreciated was that Shao Xi had good intentions and never dragged his feet in doing things.

Originally, it was just a chance encounter in the bookstore, but she didn't want to change the fate of Hao Yi and this group of children, today it can be said that she met a nobleman, and this nobleman was brought by herself, Mei Ruoyan was secretly happy in her heart. At the same time, she also had a new understanding of Shao Xi, and the handsome and talented son in front of her made her unconsciously have more admiration.

"Childe is so generous, it is really unexpected for the little woman. Originally, the items sent by Childe to this car have exceeded our expectations, and now Childe is willing to set up a school to take in Mr. Hao and this group of stray children, which is something we didn't dare to imagine before, Childe has brought us too many surprises today, and the little woman is here to express her deep gratitude to Childe. ”

As she spoke, Mei Ruoyan tidied up her dress and gave Shao Xi a proper salute.

Hao Yi saw Mei Ruoyan giving a gift, and hurriedly followed suit, causing Shao Xi to return the gift to this one and return the gift to that one.

"You don't have to be so polite, I also have my own plan to start this school, it just so happened that Mr. Hao brought this opportunity, I just took advantage of the trend, you don't have to say thank you anymore, there will be many things to trouble you in the future."

Mei Ruoyan was stunned by Shao Xi's sentence, and asked in some surprise: "In the future, if the son wants to trouble, it will also trouble Mr. Hao, what can the little girl do?" The little girl doesn't know how to teach! ”

Shao Xi smiled heartily and replied: "The girl underestimates herself too much, the girl is proficient in music and rhythm, and she wants to be proficient in all kinds of musical instruments. ”

When Hao Yi heard Shao Xi's words, he couldn't help but high-five, he couldn't imagine that Shao Xi attached more importance to the education of this group of children than him, not only to teach them to read and write, but also to cultivate them into useful people and pillars.

At this time, he was full of admiration for Shao Xi in his heart, not only admiring him for being decisive and thoughtful, but also admiring him for being open-minded, long-term and ambitious.

From Shao Xi's requirements, Hao Yi knew that Shao Xi was reserving talents for the future. Whether it is for himself, for the Jingyuan Dynasty, or for the world, what Shao Xi does has a long-term plan.

So young and yet able to think so far, he sighed to himself!

When Mei Ruoyan saw that Shao Xi was going to ask herself to be the gentleman of the academy, she couldn't help blushing, and said softly: "The little girl is not talented, and she is loved by her son, but I am afraid that she will live up to her son's trust when the time comes." ”

"The girl doesn't have to be modest, the girl's talent has been seen with her own eyes, if the girl can't do it, who else can? After the establishment of the school, the girl can come to the school to teach in her spare time, and the remuneration will definitely satisfy the girl. ”

Mei Ruoyan smiled happily, "The son doesn't give up, the little woman is already satisfied, and she is happy to be able to help the son, how dare you talk about remuneration again?" ”

"Huh——! In the next yard of doing things one yard to one yard, friendship to friendship, remuneration to remuneration, the girl is willing to come to the school to teach is already a great favor, how can the girl work in vain? ”

When Mei Ruoyan saw Shao Xi say this, she no longer shirked, but she was very grateful in her heart. You must know that all the people earn in the music room is bowed money, and in order to make a living, they can only greet each other with a smile in front of the guests, which is far-fetched and insincere.

The establishment of the school was agreed upon, and Shao Xi planned to start the matter as soon as he went back, and it seemed that he was going to trouble the shopkeeper Cao again, after all, the shopkeeper Cao was better at buying and selling land and houses.

Shao Xi also planned, in addition to inviting some gentlemen outside, after the Spring Festival, Bai Jinqing and Hu Yushan can also get a few people to help in the school, so that in addition to the business of the bookstore, a few people can also earn some extra money by teaching in the school.

As for Bai Dinggong, Shao Xi has nothing to worry about, after all, he is Bai Dinggong's protégé, and now that he has opened a school, Bai Dinggong will only be happy, how can any teacher be afraid that students will steal business.

However, Shao Xi himself muttered a little in his heart, is it a bit big to play this time?
