A businessman, want to open a school?

Chen Lao thought about it and felt that it was strange.

However, the school is a sacred place, not a whim.

Fortunately, it was Bai Song in front of him, if he was an unknown person, Chen Lao would definitely give an order to expel the guest when he heard this.

Old Chen took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Bai Song, you can open a money village and a money bank, it is your ability to get the support of the Taishou Mansion, but the old man wants to advise you, don't take too big a step with one foot, some things are still not touched." What do you have to complain about now? This school is by no means a child's play, but a major event for the transmission of literature and preaching. Such a sacred place does not smell a little copper. ”

"What about merchants? Can't a businessman open a school? Bai Song was puzzled, what he thought in his heart was that the ancient academy was mainly built with donations from wealthy merchants, and such a natural thing could still be opposed by Chen Lao?

Just thinking about it, Bai Song Fang reacted that there were no academies in the early Tang Dynasty, most of them were private schools for the children of the family to study, and now there are no more widely oriented academies, at least Bai Song has not seen it in Youzhou.

In this way, Bai Song's move to open a school is another precedent.

Seeing that Chen Lao was so opposed, it strengthened Bai Song's confidence.

Bai Song thought about something, and Bai Song's proposal made Chen Lao very repulsed, and said with a cold face: "The old man will never agree to the matter of the school. If there is nothing else, the old man will take his leave first. ”

After speaking, Chen Lao got up and left.

Bai Song was a guest here, and he didn't know what to say at the moment, so he had to watch Chen Lao leave.

In this situation, it is impossible to find a respected old gentleman among the major scholars to come forward, but without a respected old gentleman, Bai Song has other options.

……

Since the implementation of the imperial examination, it has been more than ten years, and the county order of Pixian County is the first imperial examination of the flowers.

Among the classmates of the Che County Order, there may be people who are extraordinary in learning and have some prestige.

Chai County Ling and his classmates are all from a poor family, so they should not have the same repulsive attitude as Chen Lao.

Therefore, after Bai Song left Shangxian Academy, his next stop was to visit the county government of Pixian County.

After coming out for a long time, Bai Song took Dongxiang back to Jixian County, brought some small gifts and went to the Lin Mansion to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and after a few words, he left to visit Chai County.

Bai Song is also a person from a big county, and when he returned to the small town of Pixian County, he suddenly felt depressed everywhere when he looked at the county government of Pixian County.

It was a coincidence that I came today, and as soon as I arrived at the gate of the county government, I saw my acquaintance Master Liang strolling around the door.

Bai Song lifted the curtain: "Master Liang." ”

Master Liang looked at it intently, was stunned, and then smiled all over his face: "Yo, isn't this Bai Gongzi?" What wind has blown you, a nobleman, into this backwoods? ”

Bai Song got out of the car, motioned for the maid to wait outside, and then asked Master Liang: "Lord Chai is in the county office?" ”

"Oh? Bai Gongzi came all the way to discuss something with Lord Chai? ”

Bai Song nodded.

Today's Bai Song is also a popular figure in Youzhou, and even the Lord of the Assassin Shi is polite and polite, and the little master is unusually polite.

"Childe, please, Lord Chai is idle inside, just now in front of me, our kid from Pixian County has done a big thing outside, but he doesn't know how good the old man is."

After some politeness, Bai Song went to the county office.

There was the voice of Lord Chai in the side hall of the county office, and there seemed to be someone inside.

Bai Song stopped and pulled Master Liang: "Lord Chai is meeting a guest?" Or I'll wait a little longer. ”

Master Liang didn't care: "What are you waiting for?" If you have to wait, it won't be Bai Gongzi's turn to wait! Bai Gongzi is a noble person now, and Lord Chai has to see you first if he wants to see him, right? ”

After speaking, Master Liang pushed the door and entered, and said directly: "My lord, look who is coming." ”

Lord Chai held the teacup in his hand, saw Bai Song at a glance, hurriedly put down the teacup, and walked towards Bai Song in surprise, like an old friend who had not seen him for more than ten years, and grabbed Bai Song's arm.

"Bai Song! You're back? ”

Bai Song was a little uncomfortable with Lord Chai's enthusiasm, and entered the house with a dry smile, but saw that there was a middle-aged man in his early thirties in the same room.

This middle-aged man is middle-aged, his facial features are heroic, and he has the appearance of a Confucian student, but he is not weak, but his clothes are a little shabby, and his life is obviously not very good.

When Bai Song looked at him, he suddenly felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't think of it.

At this moment, the Chai County Order beckoned to Master Liang, and then pointed at the middle-aged man.

Master Liang understood and left with the middle-aged man, leaving time for Bai Song.

Bai Song watched the middle-aged man leave, fortunately, he wanted to see it somewhere.

Chai County Ling asked curiously, "Bai Song, what are you looking at?" ”

"Who is that man? Why does it look familiar? ”

"The descendants of down-and-out families, desperate and want to come to the county government to seek an errand, it doesn't matter much."

"What's it called?" Bai Song asked, and unceremoniously went to the table and poured himself a glass of water.

"Shangguan Yi."

"Poof!"

Bai Song sprayed instantly, and said in surprise: "What's it called?" ”

"Shangguan Yi...... You...... Do you know? ”

"Don't know!"

Bai Song suddenly realized, it turned out to be Shangguan Yi!

No wonder it is so familiar, when he was drunk in Yichun Courtyard and demolished Qing'er's platform.

But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that this guy is the future prime minister.

He is also the grandfather of Shangguan Wan'er, a famous talented woman in ancient China.

It was in Shangguan Yi's vein that the Shangguan family broke out.

It's just that in the early days of Zhenguan, he was relatively depressed.

In a few more years, it will be the time for him to soar and make a fortune.

Bai Song finally caught a historical figure, how could such a person not make friends?

Bai Song put down the tea, looked out the door, and asked seriously: "Lord Chai, just now you said that this Shangguanyi is now desperate to come to the county government to seek an errand?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Can I see him?"

"See him?" Chai Xian Ling became more and more curious, but he couldn't see anything special about a down-and-out scholar who could actually arouse Bai Song's curiosity?

Bai Song hurriedly explained: "It's not a secret, I came to see Lord Chai today just to ask if Master Chai has any classmates who are willing to teach?" I'm going to open a school, and I need to recruit some teaching gentlemen. I see that Shangguan Yi has a lot of articles, if Master Chai doesn't have a suitable place for him, he can let him come to my school. ”

"You're going to open a school?"

"What's wrong?"

The Chexian order did not have the rejection of Chen Lao, but he still felt weird by twisting his eyebrows.

Bai Song had no time to explain, he didn't want to let Shangguan Yi go, so he hurriedly called Shangguan Yi back.

After a while, Shangguan Yi went and returned, standing at the door, not knowing why.

Chai County Ling picked up the official tone, his words were much more stable, and he said to Shangguan Yi with his hands behind his back: "This is the son of Baifu in Jixian County, I want to open a school today and recruit you as a teacher, are you willing?" ”

Shangguan Yi frowned, as if he was reluctant, but he looked left and right at his clothes, and then his heart was crossed: "The student is willing." ”
