It turned around and it was April 19th.

Jiao Shun left the house early in the morning, but did not rush to the Ministry of Works. Instead, he passed through Zhengyang Gate to the outer city, and then went straight to You'an Gate in the southwest corner along the street.

Workshops near the capital city resume work on the ninth day of the first lunar month.

By the ninth day of the fourth month, it took another seven or eight days to create a book. Yesterday, more than 60 work-students had already entered the management and management school near Zuoanmen.

Today, the class is about to start officially!

As the initiator of the work-study education, Jiao Shun was unwilling to give in because the Ministry of Rites was about to die and failed to take over the management of primary school, it was still necessary to attend the opening ceremony - especially the Ministry of Rites, which was obviously

I am not planning to hold any admission ceremony for these working students.

There is a saying in the capital, which is called "rich in the east and noble in the west, poor in the south, and humble in the north". Zuo'anmen Primary School is located in the southwest corner of the outer city. Although this area is also covered with the word "xi", it is completely incompatible with the word "priced".

Above, it was a famous poor place two or three hundred years ago.

When Taizu of Xia set up an official primary school, the court paid all the fees, Zuoanmen primary school was larger than elsewhere, and at its peak, nearly a thousand students were studying.

However, as the imperial court allocated less and less, the tuition fees also ranged from nothing to something, from little to much, and the primary school opened in slums naturally declined earlier than elsewhere.

Until now, there are only two classrooms left in normal use, and they are often unsatisfied with people.

This time, the work students were arranged here, which was also considered waste utilization. After simple renovation of the old classrooms, some of which can be converted into Datongpu dormitories. The equipment used by the old craftsmen when teaching is also placed.

.

But Jiao Shun drove to elementary school.

Zhao Yan and Liu Changyou led several servants and had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, but there were no deans, teachers and others in the middle.

Seeing Jiao Shun scanned the crowd, Zhao Yan hurriedly stepped forward and explained with a wry smile: "Director Zhou felt uncomfortable occasionally, so he never came."

Looking at his embarrassed look, you know that there must be something else.

Furthermore, since the dean cannot come due to illness, he should arrange for others to come forward to receive the reception. Now only the officials of the Handyman Institute are here. Dean Zhou's attitude is obvious without asking.

But this is normal.

Today, the official primary school is a distribution center for down-and-out literati. Some of them are cynical, some of them are self-righteous, and more are some of them who are just doing it.

Most of the people who can serve as dean will not be the latter.

Whether it is cynical or self-righteous, looking down on Jiao Shun, who is a slave, who is fortunate to become an official, it is normal. Because these people are less experienced in the officialdom, they are more conservative than those who have obtained a serious official status.

.

Jiao Shun doesn't care about this.

Anyway, he came this time mainly to see the students, and he didn't care about the teacher's experience. The main reason for concern is that it is useless. The personnel management rights of elementary school are in the hands of the Ministry of Rites, and Jiao Shun can at most manage it to teach experience.

Old craftsmen.

Now he went straight to the topic: "Where are those working students?"

The term "work-study student" is naturally created by Jiao Shun.

"It should be having breakfast, right?"

Zhao Yan replied uncertainly, then turned sideways and asked: "Sir, why don't you take you over and have a look?"

Jiao Shun nodded slightly, Zhao Yan and Liu Changyou led the way and turned into a relatively independent courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw dozens of people gathered in the east corridor, squatting or standing. All the men were all strong, mostly between the ages of twenty and twenty-five, and more than half of them were already married and had children.

It's right.

Originally, according to the above resolution, we were planning to recruit a group of teenagers first. On the one hand, teenagers are easy to manage and learn things quickly, and on the other hand, they will not delay the production tasks of the workshop.

Jiao Shun thought so at first.

However, after conducting detailed investigations, he insisted on elevating the admission age of the first two batches of work-students.

The reason is very simple. After completing short-term training, many people must have entered the grassroots management position. However, these days, the workshops are most concerned about seniority, and want to make a group of half-grown children who have not grown all their hair.

It is simply a dream to manage your uncle and brother.

Even though it is up to official means, it is not impossible to continue to be vigorously promoted.

But what Jiao Shun wants is achievements, not intensifying internal conflicts.

So he planned to recruit three or two groups of young and strong workers who have already started a family and started a career, and conduct one year of short-term training, and wait until the superiority of the system is proven, and then recruit young people for long-term training.

As for young and middle-aged people with initially fixed thinking, it is more difficult to enlighten than young people...

He, Master Jiao, does not have to act as a teacher on the front line, and he has no jurisdiction over these teachers. Of course, he will do whatever he benefits himself and the Ministry of Works.

Less gossip.

But when he saw this group of officials walking into the courtyard, the work students who were originally squatting on the ground stood up and lined up timidly under the wall.

As the leaders selected by each workshop, their sense of obedience and discipline are relatively strong.

But Jiao Shun's eyes did not fall on them, but looked at the steps in front of one of the classrooms.

Because there was a broken bowl on the steps, there were two steamed buns and some soup and water scattered beside it.

Zhao Yan, who was leading the way, naturally saw this scene and couldn't help but curse in his heart. When he came to inspect himself, the elementary school was clearly arranged very well, but why did Shangguan come to inspect it in person and suddenly make so many troubles?

He walked a few steps, looked around the work students and asked, "What's going on? Who did it?"

All the work students in the near area shrank their necks, while those in the distance stretched out and looked around, but no one in the middle responded to Zhao Yan.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan became more annoyed. He was about to threaten a few words with a harsh voice when a scholar in a robe suddenly stood up in the classroom, and looked at the work-study student beside him and said, "Don't ask, Lord Zhao, this is what I did.

of."

"you?"

Zhao Yan didn't know this scholar, but only vaguely remembered that he was a tutor in the elementary school. He frowned and said, "Why are you like this?"

"Hmph~"

The scholar sprayed some turbid air from his nostrils disdainfully and said loudly: "It is because these people are insulting their manners that they actually ran to the classroom to eat, and they shouted and behaved vulgarly, so I drove them away

Go out and beat one of them to a warning."

During this period, many work-students stared at him fiercely, and they were insulted by this tutor just now.

If they were in an ordinary private school, there would have been a long time ago, but this place was an official school. The gentlemen in the school ate imperial grain. The school even arranged four yamen runners from Shuntian Mansion. Who dared to be random in this situation?

rash?

"this……"

Zhao Yan was immediately embarrassed when he heard this. From the perspective of a literati, he felt that the scholar's approach was not a problem, but he also knew how much Jiao Shun attached to these work-study students.

"You've done a good job."

At this time, Jiao Shun also came closer, looked at the food on the ground, then looked at the tutor who was still showing his head high, and smiled and said, "The rules in this school are to be established-but not good either.

Let them squat outside and eat.”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to Liu Changyou and said, "Liu Sucheng, please turn around and have someone send some tables, chairs, benches and benches to decorate one of the rooms into a canteen."

Seeing that the tutor was still facing him with his nostrils, Jiao Shun pointed his hand and said, "From the future, this gentleman will be responsible for maintaining appropriate order."

Then why did President Zhou say that he couldn't get sick, but he arranged for such a naughty young man to come forward, obviously wanting to lend him a warning to Jiao Shun. How could Jiao Shun get what he wants?

The tutor was stunned at first, and then said briskly: "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. The students are the tutors of this elementary school, but they are not slaves of the Ministry of Works..."

Finally, he had not completely lost his mind, so he took back the 'slave' that was right and changed his words: "But he is not a craftsman from the Ministry of Works, how can he care about the canteen?!"

Jiao Shun smiled and pointed to the ground and asked, "Are you okay with it? I am the only one who can do the best of my ability..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The tutor shook his sleeves indignantly: "Zhang would rather quit his tutor's job than be humiliated!"

As he said that, he did not take a step back to Jiao Shun. He put his palm in front of the abdomen and back on his back, and then he left with his head held high.

"grown ups."

Seeing this, Zhao Yan subconsciously advised: "There was a teacher who left with his seal on the first day of school. Isn't this a bad impact?"

Jiao Shun glanced at him and asked back, "Is this sour scholar your person?"

"How could it be!"

Zhao Yan hurriedly argued: "Secretary and this elementary school..."

"Since you are not yours, why do you think so much?"

Before Zhao Yan could finish his words, Jiao Shun rudely interrupted him: "This is a tutor hired by the Ministry of Rites. We have no jurisdiction at all. He wants to resign, so what does it have to do with us?"

Zhao Yan was stunned and blurted out: "You said you just now to let him go to the cafeteria..."

Jiao Shun spread his hands: "I just proposed that he manage the canteen. As for whether the Ministry of Rites and the elementary school will adopt my opinion, that is another matter."

Zhao Yan was speechless immediately, and at the same time he also started to observe a moment of silence for the arrogant tutor.

Although the primary school was in a downturn, the tutors here were also serious errands to receive imperial grain. With the man's temperament just now, it would be not that easy to find a similar errand in the future.

At this time, Jiao Shun looked at the work students who were still holding their rice bowls and standing in the corridor, and casually ordered the officers to pick up a meal.

He originally wanted to learn from others to share the same joys and sorrows, but after the meal was brought, he found that the soup was turbid and the steamed buns were not the kind that they were eaten in later generations. They were dry and dry and slashed their throats.

Jiao Shun has never eaten such a thing in his two lives.

Go to the damn, don't pretend anymore!

I am Lord Jiao and not Comrade Jiao. Why do you share the joys and sorrows and woes and go deep into the masses?

He returned the meal to the officers, walked with his hands behind his back to the place where the work students were facing each other, and said loudly: "You may have heard of me, or you may have never heard of me. I was honored by His Majesty last winter.

Jiao Shun, who has jumped from slave to the seventh-rank Jingguaner!”

Although many people have long guessed Jiao Shun’s identity, this still caused a lot of whispering discussions.

Jiao Shun waited for them to be quiet, then continued: "I am a miserable family like you, and I am also a craftsman. Logically speaking, I should eat a few bites of steamed buns and make a bowl of soup, and put it on.

Everyone is close to each other - but my mother can't eat it, and she is not happy to eat it!"

This time, no one talked about it anymore. Instead, it was quieter than just now, but most of the eyes were full of doubts.

I heard Jiao Shun continue to talk: "I played with two beautiful maids in the middle of the night yesterday. I got up a little late this morning, so I didn't let the stove do it and ate some trash casually

Duck feet, braised tendons, fried shrimps with rapeseed, vermicelli meatball soup, and a bowl of pickled cabbage and shredded pork noodles, and two glutinous rice cakes wrapped in sugar, almonds and raisins."

After talking about this long list, there are a lot of salivation on the opposite side, and the steamed bun soup is no longer fragrant when you look at it.

Of course, some people think about the beautiful maid who looks like a flower.

At this time, Jiao Shun asked again: "Do you want to live such a day?"

Everyone was still silent, but that envious expression had already explained it all.

"to be honest."

Jiao Shun paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, pointed at the work students and said, "I can't guarantee that everyone of you will live such a life, but it's not difficult to have one or two out of ten people!

”

As he said that, he spread his palm again: "In fifty years, no craftsman has ever become a seventh-rank official in fifty years. He is already the best among craftsmen! However, this official is only seventeen years old,

By relying on the craftsmanship, he sat in the seventh grade, holding the workshops that cost nothing, and managing tens of thousands of craftsmen!”

"what does that mean?"

Jiao Shun looked around and said decisively: "This means that the opportunity has come! An opportunity that your father and brother have never waited for in their lifetime was caught up by you who were lucky enough to leave!"

He pointed his finger: "I am the first craftsman to seize this opportunity and become a success!"

Then point to the opposite side: "And maybe there is a second, a third, or even more among you!"

The work students couldn't help but feel uproar at this time.

They had long guessed that there would be benefits after learning, but they never dared to think about it!

Not to mention a seventh-rank official in Beijing, having a ninth-rank or even a poor person is enough for these ordinary craftsmen to shine their ancestors!

In fact, when many people heard this, they couldn't believe it.

But Jiao Shun's living example stood in front of everyone, and they couldn't help but believe it!

Although "Hao Nu" is generally domineering, if you only talk about your identity, you should be much better than craftsmen, right?

He can succeed, why can't he do it?!

"I'm going to hide the truth from you. I am an alien in the yamen."

Just as people's hearts were inspiring, Jiao Shun quietly called into a deep voice: "In a group of civil servants, there are some out of place! After all, how many scholars can look down on craftsmen and slaves?"

Everyone seemed to have been poured with a basin of ice water. Thinking of the arrogant tutor just now, my heart was cold and burning. I couldn't tell whether it was ambition or unwillingness to burn.

"That's why I came up with this method of working part-time to help students!"

Jiao Shun raised his voice again: "Let you study and be polite, and accumulate some capital that scholars can compete with each other, so that you can have more opportunities to walk on the road of Tongtian like my official, and also make me no longer in the yamen.

The alien!”

"I am not the dean of this elementary school, nor is it a teaching tutor! But when you go out of this elementary school, you will be my disciples and disciples of Jiao!"

"I, a self-proclaimed teacher, cannot guarantee that everything will go smoothly when you return to the workshop, but if you can give me a face, I will never let people lose his credit for his decent credit!"
Chapter completed!
