Chapter 950 If you cant give me a future, you can only give me money.
"That's why I want to ask His Highness to help plead for mercy." Han Du could only hope that Lao Zhu would expose the matter for Zhu Biao's sake.
Zhu Biao shook his head lightly after hearing this and sighed: "Nearly two hundred people have resigned. The impact is indeed too bad. I am afraid that even if I go to my father to plead for mercy, my father will not be lenient."
"There is no need for two hundred people. It is enough that the emperor can allow sixty people to resign. I have already persuaded the other more than a hundred people and they will not resign." Han Du quickly agreed with a smile.
Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this, then he weighed it and said: "If there are sixty people, there is still hope."
Then he looked at Han Du in confusion and asked: "But I don't understand. Since you have persuaded them, why don't you persuade them all to come back? Why do you want to leave sixty people?"
Han Du originally didn't want to explain to Zhu Biao. After all, this behavior was not very good-looking among Jinshi. But after Zhu Biao repeatedly asked, Han Du had no choice but to tell him the whole story.
After listening, Zhu Biao stretched out his finger, pointed at Han Du, and cursed with a smile: "You Han Du, you are so courageous, you dare to let the imperial court take over your choice of the rest."
Zhu Biao shook his head as he spoke, and said loudly: "If my father knew about this, I'm afraid he would be even more angry. You are so busy, Shu Gu can't do anything."
"Don't, don't, don't!" Han Du was about to give up when he saw Zhu Biao, so he quickly stopped him.
Said: "I am not the first to choose, this is the choice of the scholars themselves. Besides, as the academy grows, it will be better in the future and train more talents for the court, right? This is very important to the court.
, and you won’t suffer any loss.”
Zhu Biao felt that it made sense, but he didn't want to let Han Du off too easily. He glanced at Han Du and said nothing.
Seeing Zhu Biao pick up the dish, Han Du continued to explain: "Besides, these scholars are not just my students, Han Jingyun is also their husband."
Han Du looked at Zhu Biao and sneered in his heart: Are you holding it in front of me? If you can, continue to hold it in front of Han Jingyun. If Zhu Biao doesn't agree today, I will find Han Jingyun when you go back and tell her that it's all you.
It is because of your incompetence that the academy scholar was humiliated. When the time comes, it will be up to you to explain to her.
Zhu Biao was furious when he saw Han Du using such shameless tactics. But there was no other way, he really had to take Han Du's hand.
"Ahem" he pretended to cough twice. Zhu Biao straightened his face, glared at Han Du with dissatisfaction, and said seriously: "Of course, the academy
The student understands the righteousness well and can take the initiative to give up some places to northern scholars. It is also honorable and honorable. I will report to my father now. I think the sixty places will be enough to recruit more northern scholars."
After Han Du received a satisfactory guarantee, he Shi Ran left the East Palace.
Two days later, the emperor issued an order. Since there were sixty scholars in the academy who had given up the title of Jinshi, they should make up the number among the northern scholars.
When the news came out, some northern scholars were delighted, while others were still aggrieved.
Because before this, there were rumors secretly that the imperial court would open a new subject specifically to recruit northern scholars. This news made the northern scholars extremely excited. In their view, this was what the imperial court had done after they argued hard.
The concessions made are entirely due to them.
But now they are told that they will not open another subject, but will only enroll 60 people from the northern scholars according to the Dingmao examination papers. This has disappointed some northern scholars.
If a subject is re-opened, 300 people will naturally be admitted. But now only 60 people are admitted, which means that the number of seats has been reduced by 80% in an instant. What's more, they have to make up the admission with the test papers of their Dingmao subject. Now all the test papers have been
Now that it has been announced, the ranking of the northern scholars is no secret at all. Those who know that they are ranked after sixty are naturally very reluctant to do so.
What should they do if they are unwilling to do so? These people prepared to cause trouble again without even thinking, hoping that they would be able to force the court to retreat just like the last time.
But these people forgot one thing, that is, it was true that no northern scholar was selected last time. This is a fact, and the court cannot argue with them when they caused trouble.
But things are different now. Sixty northern scholars have been recruited. They are making trouble again. The reason alone is untenable. You can't say that you want the court to admit them all, right?
And this time Lao Zhu was not going to spoil them anymore. The leading ones among these northern scholars just said a few words and before they could encourage everyone to block the palace gate, they were tied up by the troops Lao Zhu had prepared long ago.
stand up.
With this hand, all the soldiers were instantly restrained.
After a few days, the emperor issued an order to completely strip off the titles of several people and never use them again. This greatly shocked all the northern scholars. They all woke up immediately as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on them, and they no longer dared to mess around.
rash.
Academy
inside.
Sixty people gathered together and talked happily with each other.
"Brother Dai, I heard that your family is having a hard time. Why didn't you choose to become an official and stay in the academy?" A slightly fat man asked the person next to him.
The person being questioned is the same as the person asking the question. He is also wearing a blue shirt from the academy. Although it has been washed a little white, it is still clean and tidy. It can be seen that this is a diligent and neat person. But from the clothes
It can also be seen that the person asked well, this person's family background is indeed somewhat worse.
"Brother Xie Ding is concerned. My family is indeed not very well-off, but my parents only have one son like me. When they sent me to study, they didn't think about honoring our ancestors. Instead, I was weak and sick. I couldn't jump with my shoulders or lift with my hands.
, and you can only earn a living by studying. Now that you can stay in the academy, you have fulfilled your parents’ wishes, so why not?”
We are all classmates, and we don't have to worry about anything when talking. We just say what we want.
Because these students in the academy need to participate in various activities separately, they have much more emotional interaction with each other than the students in the Imperial College, and naturally their relationship with each other is much better.
"What about Brother Ding? Although Brother Ding's family is rich, if Brother Ding can become an official, it will help the family much more than staying in the academy. Why does Brother Ding stay in the academy?" ??
"Hi~ You also know my situation. I can work as an official or stay in the academy. But then I thought about it and realized that I really can't give up my waist for five buckets of rice. Rather than that, I might as well stay in the academy.
Okay, what do you think?"
The two looked at each other and laughed immediately.
While everyone was chatting, Han Du walked in the door and came to the middle.
When the students discovered Han Du's arrival, their voices quickly decreased and soon became silent.
At this time, Han Du slowly spoke: "To be honest, I am quite surprised that you can choose to stay in the academy. After all, with your ability, after becoming an official, some of you may become
As an official, your future is limitless. Staying in the academy is equivalent to cutting off your future."
"Master Han is overthinking. Everyone who is able to be here today has been carefully considered. Besides, this is the students' own choice. Sir, there is no need to blame yourself." The one who stood up to speak was Lu Bowen, who was the leader of everyone present.
Among them, it is the one with the highest ranking in the examination.
Although Wang Yuanji was Huiyuan, he did not stay in the academy, but became an official. This does not mean that Wang Yuanji himself did not want to stay in the academy, but the conditions proposed by Lao Zhu. If he wanted to allow the academy scholars to resign, then Wang Yuanji
Yuanji must choose to become an official.
Otherwise, Lao Zhu will punish the academicians.
For the sake of everyone, Wang Yuanji and others had no choice but to become officials.
In fact, Wang Yuanji's becoming an official was also an excellent choice in Han Du's opinion. It was much better than staying in the academy and wasting what he had learned all his life. Moreover, his family was indeed in a difficult situation, so becoming an official was also a benefit to his family.
Looking at the sixty people in front of him, Han Du suddenly felt a surge of ambition and pride in his heart. With so many students who are accustomed to studying mathematics, physics and chemistry, the academy will one day be able to truly grow to the point where people can look up to it. At that time, what will happen to the academy?
It's hard to say whether those who go into official positions are better, or whether those who stay in academies have greater achievements.
Thinking of this, Han Du calmed down and said to everyone: "You choose to trust the academy, and the academy cannot live up to your trust. You just start from teaching, and you will receive a monthly salary of ten guan."
"Ten strings?"
When everyone heard this, they started talking one after another.
It's not that the salary is too low, but that it is too high. Originally, according to everyone's thinking, it would be good for them to have two or three monthly salary for these teachers.
You know, the salary of a ninth-rank official in the capital is equivalent to five guans per month, and ten guan is equivalent to the salary of a seventh-rank official.
Of course, with their results in the examination, they can quickly become officials of the seventh or seventh rank after becoming officials.
"Sir, is this monthly salary too high?" Lu Bowen stood up and asked with his hands raised. Although the more monthly salary, the happier he would be, but at the same time he also knew the situation of the academy. There was no source of income at all. In the past, it was all
I relied on Han Du to get money to support me.
Now that such a large amount of expenditure has suddenly appeared, anyone who knows anything about it is worried that the academy will be unsustainable.
Han Du waved his hand, asked him to sit down, and spoke to reassure everyone, "The academy can't give you a future, all it can give you is a little money. Of course, I know that even this little money can only be compared with what you have just started working as officials.
The time is right. In a few years, those of you classmates who are working as officials may already be getting more than ten or twenty guan of monthly salary, and you can still only live on ten guan of monthly salary. But there is nothing you can do about it. At present, the college's financial resources
