Chapter 64 Sailor School

When he walked back to the yamen in the sun, Zhao Jiaren was already hungry. He started to go out to sit in the yamen in the morning, read official documents, and went out to do business, and then poured water into Xu Yuanzhi's place. However, when lunch was about to eat, Xu Yuanzhi actually pretended not to be polite. Zhao Jiaren said goodbye and he saw him off.

Zhao Jiaren felt that his appetite was wide open at this time, and a cow was placed in front of him, so he could eat it clean. He was about to enter the yamen to see if there was anything, and then he carried out the great cause of foraging. Two people rushed out of the yamen to greet Zhao Jiaren anxiously. The middle-aged man who was almost thirty years old in the lead immediately said: "Principal, our school students have eaten wine and beat people."

"Eat wine?" Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but repeat. The word that echoed the big meal and drinking made Zhao Jiaren swallow a big saliva. He asked hungrily: "Has he destroyed someone?"

"It may not be possible to break it. It's just that the other party seems to be a yamen..." The middle-aged man, who was almost thirty, said a little, and then he said something.

Zhao Jiaren sighed helplessly, and then said to the middle-aged man: "Hongjun, you are the class monitor in the school, and you will easily cause trouble after drinking. No matter whether we have any reason or not, why bother to cause trouble?"

The class monitor was scolded for a few words and bowed his head and did not dare to speak. The young man in his early twenties next to him quickly said, "Principal, we really can't blame us for this. We were drinking, and everyone said that the earth was round and the force that the principal said was mutual. Just wondering why we wouldn't fall from the earth. The Yanei next to him suddenly got up and said that we were talking nonsense and confusing the crowd. The students argued with the Yanei that they could not say it and acted first."

"Yane...we?" Zhao Jiaren discovered the point in his words.

"Yes...three. Wearing silk and satin, it looks like it's not a businessman." The young man in his early twenties mustered up the courage to finish his words.

After looking at the study representative, Zhao Jiaren felt that he had a little understanding of why these two people appeared in front of him. But his stomach was empty and his head became unsophisticated. He asked, "Why don't you eat in the school cafeteria when you eat wine?"

"Isn't this going to go out of the boat? Everyone has some money..." The squad leader didn't dare to continue talking just now.

"...ah..." Zhao Jiaren sighed. He knew that there would be no food in the school cafeteria now, so he could only say: "You go to the next intersection and wait for me for a while."

The principal's residence of the prison was very close to the yamen. Zhao Jiaren rushed into the house and then went straight to his mother. Seeing that his mother had not had a nap and was leaning against the bamboo couch to read a book, Zhao Jiaren immediately asked, "Mom, what can I eat right away?"

Mrs. Zhao looked up at her son, pointed to the kitchen with the Buddhist scriptures in her hand, "The salted duck eggs have been marinated. I just ordered someone to cook them before noon. I steamed a few bowls of rice. I wanted to make fried rice tomorrow."

"Enough is enough." Zhao Jiaren ran to the kitchen when he heard that there was food and food. He heard his mother shouting behind his back, "Some water chestnuts are also cooked."

He rushed into the kitchen and fed his stomach with lightning speed. Zhao Jiaren took a few more mouthfuls of boiling water and walked out the door.

The class monitor had a very good name in Zhao Jiaren's opinion, Li Hongjun and the study committee member were named Ding Yu. When he saw Zhao Jiaren reaching the intersection, he hurriedly came up. This time, Zhao Jiaren was much calmer. While walking towards the school, he asked, "What did you think of those three yamen?"

Li Hongjun quickly introduced the situation, "I didn't beat him too hard, I just slapped and kicked him. But the Yanei shouted that he knew who we were and would never let us go. I saw something wrong at that time, so I ran away when I called him. Those Yanei didn't catch up."

"You don't know which yamen is?" Zhao Jiaren became even more calm. Since he was not arrested, this matter would be better handled. Of course, the premise is that the students who are drinking should not kick people off their bones.

Ding Yu quickly replied: "Principal, we can only go to school every day, either to train or go to sea. We don't recognize these yamen in the city. But it seems like we heard someone shouting, saying... We even dare to fight the princes of the prefect, which is really arrogance."

Zhao Jiaren paused, the magistrate. In Fuzhou City, there was only Xu Yuanzhi, the magistrate. "You even have ten-year-old children..." Zhao Jiaren stopped after saying a while. The imperial examination trend of the Song Dynasty was very strong. Scholars who were determined to pass the imperial examination knew that "ten years of hardship" was not a joke. A large number of Jinshi got married after passing the examination, and Xu Yuanzhi, who was almost forty, was the same. He got married after passing the examination in his twenties, and now his eldest son was only ten years old. Zhao Jiaren did not believe that Xu Yuanzhi's ten-year-old son would go out to drink, and he did not believe that a ten-year-old child would take the initiative to provoke a group of guys in his twenties.

After hearing Zhao Jiaren's words, Ding Yu quickly explained, "That man is in his twenties, and the two next to him are also in his twenties. They are definitely not ten years old."

Zhao Jiaren knew that there were many strong people in the schools he opened for his sailors, but it was unlikely that there would be murderers who would abuse their ten-year-old children. Those who disobeyed discipline and were brave and cruel were eliminated in the probation period. Since they were outside, Zhao Jiaren was even more at ease. Although he did not think he was a bully, Fuzhou was considered a one-acre and three-point land for Zhao Jiaren in these three years.

After walking for a while, he arrived at Zhao Jiaren's school in the west of the city. As a prison on Fujian Road, Zhao Jiaren contributed a meager force to Fujian's general money by purchasing land for the school. This school covers an area of ​​one hectares. One hectares in China are 100 acres, not one hectares and fifteen acres. This is not a good place. There are several rows of very simple houses on it, and some sites have started construction but not repaired. Every time I see the situation in front of me, Zhao Jiaren feels very nostalgic. The entire campus is like the primary school in an underdeveloped township in Anhui in the 20th century. It has a large courtyard and some bungalows. It is very simple.

When I arrived at school, I saw many young people. The teenagers were training in the queue and were still reporting one by one. This is the basic subject of admission. Zhao Jiaren’s most basic salary is ten cents a day. If you want to have a basic salary, you have to pass the basic exam.

He is brave and cruel and undisciplined, so stupid that he cannot distinguish between the front, back, left, left, east, south, west and north, and cannot pass the basics. A very important part of the basic exam, you must be able to write and recognize your name. Some time ago, many good children from Putian and Fuqing asked Zhao Jiaren's fleet. These people are training, and the primary training will end soon and the exam will begin.

There are eight words on the wall of the first row of bungalows near the podium, "Study hard and move up every day." Those who can learn here must face the second level. First, you must learn two hundred common words, learn to recite the multiplication table of nine nines, learn Arabic numerals, learn to add, subtract, multiply and divide, and have the concept of decimal points.

Once the sailors pass this exam, the daily basic wages of the sailors will increase to twelve cents. So far, the sailors who joined Zhao Jiaren's team two years ago have passed this exam as long as they do not make the mistake of having to be expelled because of the middle.

Zhao Jiaren did not enter here, so he went straight to the second row of houses. On the wall of this row of houses, there were fourteen words on the wall of the podium, "There is a path for diligence, and the sea of ​​knowledge is endless to work hard for boats." Students here will start to learn knowledge of geography, astronomy, basic geometry, etc. In addition to these subjects, they also have to learn 1,500 commonly used words, which can use pinyin, make sentences, and read and write formatted official documents and commands. Every time they pass a course, their basic salary will increase by one more article.

No more than ten students passed these exams and they attended classes in another row of houses. The walls near the podium in those houses were six words, "Knowledge is power." At this stage, each person's basic salary was twenty cents.

All personnel have free food, clothing, accommodation, and attendance subsidies are available for every trip. Those who are rated as excellent in performance every two months will receive an additional bonus. Every six months, if there is no problem, there will be a half-year bonus. By the end of the year, the year-end bonus will be given based on their performance. If they unfortunately die during the period, their families will receive a pension.

Zhao Jiaren casually pulled a stool and sat down, letting the troublemakers come over. Zhao Jiaren said, "You are angry for a moment and start a fight. I don't think there is anything right or wrong in the fight. When you get angry, you want to do anything. The reason why you don't let you do this is because you are a member of our fleet. You have your own positions in the fleet. Those who provoke are bastards, but why do we delay our own serious affairs for the bastards? This is what I don't think should be."

"Principal, what should we do when we encounter these things?" The one who hit the person was the sports committee member Liu Meng. It was obvious that he was a little dissatisfied, but he still said very well.

"Just tell them, we are talking nonsense after drinking too much, so why bother with us?" Zhao Jiaren replied calmly.

"What if they don't let go?" Liu Meng continued to ask.

"If they don't let go, we'll leave." Zhao Jiaren continued to answer.

"What if they do it?" Liu Meng said.

"They beat them up when they try." Zhao Jiaren still answered calmly.

Liu Meng wanted to climb up the squad leader, but he looked up and saw the squad leader looking at him with a stern face. He didn't say anything for a moment. After all, the squad leader saw this throughout the whole process. Those yamen actually had no intention of taking action at the beginning. They just got up and shouted.

Zhao Jiaren looked at the situation and said, "I beat the five boards alone. I will finish the fight quickly and prepare to leave the boat."

"Can't you wait until you come back to fight?" Liu Meng pretended to be pitiful.

"Don't talk nonsense, go quickly." Zhao Jiaren said as he stood up. After these things were handled, he still had things to arrange. After that, he was afraid that he might encounter pirates every time he went on a flight, so it was very important to mobilize the whole person. Moreover, Zhao Jiaren hired an old yamen runner and a master of beating the board. His butt hurts even if he gets hit, he gets up and walks a few steps. After the blood and qi moves, it's no problem. For these guys who are in a good position, getting beaten for five is not a problem.

Just as Zhao Jiaren was pounding the boards in his school, Fuzhou magistrate Xu Yuanzhi welcomed several distinguished guests. The head was the son of Zhao Zhizhou, Quanzhou. Zhao brought Zhao Zhizhou's letter. Xu Yuanzhi opened it and saw that Zhao Zhizhou said in the letter that the people of Quanzhou were frightened by the pirates. So he was sure that Zhao Zhizhou sent some of the captured pirates to Quanzhou and paraded in Quanzhou to publicize them to inspire people's morale.
