"Sir, actually we can get less money, or even free money." The scholar surnamed Ding stood up and said with his hands raised.
Han Du flapped his palms at him several times and motioned for him to sit down.
After he sat down, Han Du said: "I know you all have such a heart, but I'm sorry, I can't accept it. In this life, one must have ideals and beliefs, which is a good thing, but money is also essential, because this
It is the most basic support for you and your family’s life. Don’t worry, the academy will be able to pay back the monthly salary of ten thousand dollars.”
Han Du's words moved many of the scholars below. Even the scholar named Ding was deeply moved. He himself could indeed ask for less or even no salary at all, but what about others? For example, his good friend, named Dai
As a scholar, you can't let his parents continue to work hard to support him as before, right?
In this way, under Han Du's strong request, the monthly salary of this student, no, these teachers was set at ten guan.
When Han Du said this, he felt happy. But after the instructors dispersed, Han Du's face suddenly fell. He squatted down with his head in his hands and murmured to himself: "A person's monthly salary is ten guan, six
Ten people are 600 guan, and in one year it is 7,200 guan. This is just the current monthly salary, and it will definitely increase in the future. Just for this item alone, the academy will spend an additional 10,000 guan every year."
You must know that Han Du's current salary is only 1,200 guan a year. If Han Du only relied on his salary, he would not be able to support the academy. ??
"It's time to find money. Whether it's yourself or the academy, you have to find new sources of income."
Han Du was thinking as he walked towards the entrance of the academy.
As soon as he walked out of the side door, Han Du saw the entrance of the academy crowded with people. Each of these people was wearing cotton clothes, but they were not just white cotton, but more expensive green cloth. All of them had fat heads, big ears, and big bellies.
He personally stood at the entrance of the academy and waited, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief from time to time.
Seeing a scholar from the academy going out, they hurriedly surrounded him.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, I am Yang Baobao, the owner of the Baofeng. If you are willing to give in, the Baofeng will be waiting for you."
Before Yang Baofeng could finish his words, he was interrupted with disdain, "Mr. Lu is a great mathematician of the generation, and it's just a mere wishful thinking that you, Baofeng, can hire a master?"
The person who spoke was wearing a green shirt, which showed that he was also a scholar. The person scolded Yang Baobao, turned around and bowed respectfully to Mr. Dai in their mouth, and said flatteringly: "I understand.
Mr. Lu has no place to stay in the capital yet.
, I have taken it upon myself to buy a house in the outer city for my husband. If he doesn’t want to give up, he can move there now. I heard that the second elder in his family is already very old, so why not send someone to bring him to the capital?
How about letting the two elders see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty?"
Originally, Yang Baobao was scolded, and a feeling of dissatisfaction suddenly welled up in his heart. He thought that Yang Baobao was also a rich man. Not to mention having a good reputation, at least he had plenty of money. But suddenly he heard that this person actually gave away a house directly.
He was also shocked and dumbfounded.
Even if this is a house in the outer city, its value is still around 3,000 guan.
He gave away three thousand guan without hesitation. Yang Baobao wanted to see who was so extravagant.
When Han Du walked out, he happened to see this scene. Even Han Du was a little surprised when he heard it. He gave away three thousand strings just to invite one person. This made Han Du a little curious about who was so rich.
At the same time, there are also some surprises. Someone can pay such a large price to hire academy students. Doesn’t that mean that the academy’s students are worth the price? This also shows that the academy he established is also successful.
Han Du looked up and suddenly felt that this person looked familiar. He hesitated and stepped forward, pointed at him and asked, "Who are you?"
"Little Chang Hao, please pay homage to the Marquis." Chang Hao was a little surprised to see Han Du here, and he came to his senses and said hello quickly.
Chang Hao? Han Du immediately recalled who this young man was.
But at the same time, it was quite strange. Although Chang Hao made a fortune by buying securities, he shouldn't have reached the point where he didn't take a house seriously. How could he give away a house casually?
So, Han Du asked with some confusion: "I'm really impressed by the three-day separation, what? Did you find a gold ingot or a money tree? You don't even pay attention to a house in an outer city?"
"No matter how rich you are, it's all thanks to the Marquis. It's all the Marquis's blessing." Chang Hao said with great joy, but he gave a humble answer.
When Han Du saw his look, he immediately understood. It seems that this kid has really made a fortune recently, otherwise he wouldn't be so proud.
Han Du was also quite happy to see his acquaintance getting rich, but he was still a little curious as to why he approached Lu Bowen. "Why did you spend so much money to find Mr. Lu?"
"Lu, Lu Jiaoxi is Lu
Sir?" Chang Hao had some understanding, but looked disappointed and dumbfounded.
Han Du nodded slightly and said: "Lu Bowen has decided to take up a teaching position in the academy."
"Ah? This, alas~" Chang Hao suddenly sighed, looking helpless and regretting that it was too late.
Seeing that he was immersed in great disappointment, Han Du couldn't help but ask: "You haven't told me yet, why did you find Lu Jiaoxi and pay such a huge sum of money?"
Chang Hao reacted when he heard Han Du's question, glanced left and right, lowered his head and said to Han Du: "Master Hou, there are many people here, I wonder if I can take a step to speak?" .??.
Han Du looked at Chang Hao and nodded slightly in agreement.
Chang Hao quickly pulled Han Du behind the side door of the academy, and then explained: "Master Hou, I don't dare to deceive Master Hou. Ever since I tasted the sweetness of buying securities, I have made up my mind to continue buying. But after all, I have little financial resources.
It was limited, and I couldn’t buy much each time. Then I thought, could I borrow money from others to buy securities? I paid a certain amount of interest to borrow the money, and after cashing in the securities, I paid them the principal with interest.
.”
When Han Du heard this, he immediately understood. At the same time, he was filled with emotion about Chang Hao. This guy is a talent. He created the rudimentary form of a securities intermediary simply by being self-taught.
It seems that history is indeed a wheel. I just created the securities in order to expand the Ming Dynasty's overseas trade as quickly as possible. Then without my own intervention, someone will naturally present the securities intermediary.
The threshold for purchasing securities directly from the market is too high, and ordinary people are not qualified at all. As a result, there are people like Chang Hao who collect small private funds and then gather them together to buy securities. Wait until the corresponding
After the ship goes to sea and makes a profit, the securities are cashed in.
After Chang Hao got the real money, he returned it to the people with interest based on the original fund-raising situation, including principal and interest.
Of course, the interest he gives to the people must be far lower than the income that can be obtained by purchasing securities. In this way, he can get nothing and eat the difference out of thin air.
This guy is a talent!
But what does this have to do with Lu Bowen?
"No wonder you are so wealthy. You can easily give away a house in an outer city. You must have made a lot of money recently, right?" Han Du teased Chang Hao with a smile.
Chang Hao smiled contentedly and answered modestly: "
It’s all thanks to Lord Hou”
Strictly speaking, Chang Hao really relied on the wind he blew to make such a fortune. However, Han Du didn't mean to argue with him. He could think that that was his ability. He didn't see this capital
There are more than one million people. Every time the Municipal Shipping Company holds a dividend meeting, the people are surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside to watch. No one has ever thought of making money like Chang Hao.
"But, what does this have to do with Lu Bowen? Is it worth paying such a huge price for you?" Han Du was a little confused.
Chang Hao smiled awkwardly and explained with some embarrassment: "Isn't it because the small amount of money borrowed is too piecemeal, so it is a huge trouble to calculate the interest every time it is cashed out. Not only does each amount of money
The amounts are different, and sometimes even the interest rates for small promises are different. In addition, the amount each time is huge, so it is very time-consuming and laborious to calculate it all at once, and there are many times when calculations are wrong. After several times,
As a result, many jokes were made, which not only caused the common people to find trouble for small things, but also affected the small reputation.
Therefore, I want to find a math expert to help me solve these problems."
Sometimes Chang Hao simply doesn't like a small amount of money. But for ordinary people, this cannot be discarded and must be dealt with clearly.
Moreover, the money was given to the wrong person, and it was better to give more to the people. Chang Hao thought he was unlucky, so he treated it as a gift. After all, he earned more and could afford it.
But once the money given to the people is less, the people will definitely come back to Chang Hao to explain it clearly. Once or twice, Chang Hao can still accept it, but this kind of thing happens too much, which is a huge blow to his credibility.
of blow.
After all, what he is doing is nothing but borrowing money to lay eggs. If he doesn't have enough credibility, who would dare to lend him money? You know, asking someone to borrow money is like swallowing a three-foot sword. Once Chang Hao
If he breaks his trust, no one will dare to lend him money no matter how high the interest rate is.
After explaining, Chang Hao sighed, shook his head and said, "But it's too late to say anything now. I didn't expect that Mr. Lu is already a teacher in the academy."
Lu Bowen became a teacher in the academy, so naturally there was no hope of being invited back by him.
Han Du thought for a moment, looked up at Chang Hao, and asked, "Do you really want to invite Lu Bowen?"
After hearing this, Chang Hao thought that things had turned around. He quickly surprised the passing Koreans and bowed to him, saying, "If Lord Marquis can part with me, I will be extremely grateful."
