210, to teach at a women's college? (please ask for full order)
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Bai."
"This is all done according to your request. I don't deserve your boasts, Mr. Bai."
When Lao Li heard this, his face immediately lit up with joy.
He knew that Bai Gui had plenty of money and was more generous than the average gentleman. If he served him well and had a little leakage between his fingers, he would be able to satisfy him for the rest of his life.
Besides, he was originally a housekeeper and had no housekeeping experience. And the salary of a housekeeper was several times more than that of a housekeeper, so he was not willing to give up this job easily...
Therefore, I try my best to avoid being inattentive.
After saying this, Lao Li took the white horse and walked to the stable.
A large house like the White House has stables ready for use from the beginning of its construction.
"Mr. Bai, I have served mules and horses, but I have never served a BMW like this. If the service of such a precious thing breaks down, I won't be able to afford it even if I sell it!"
As soon as Bai Gui returned to his room, Lao Li knocked on the door and said hesitantly.
I can handle some errands.
Some errands cannot be handled.
For example, Lao Li didn't dare to agree to the task of feeding the horses. If a horse loses fat and a good horse is spoiled, he can't afford to make a few cents by selling it for oil.
"What you said is right, but if I give you three or four days of training, nothing will go wrong."
"I know how to raise horses and raise them well. I will teach you this craft in the past few days. Once you learn it, you will be able to make a living."
Bai Gui nodded and said.
What Lao Li said is right, horses cannot be raised indiscriminately.
Just like the half-grown black horse he raised in Bailu Village, he was afraid of something happening because horses were more expensive than people.
Once there is a loss, the owner will not spare the groom.
This kind of loss does not mean that there are bruises or scratches, but that the horse is crippled...
Tian Ji said during horse racing that there are high-grade horses, medium-grade horses, and low-grade horses. Those who know how to raise horses can make the middle-grade horses show their strength as high-grade horses, and those who do not know how to raise horses can raise high-grade horses.
A low-grade horse.
For example, a top-grade horse costs about three hundred silver dollars, while a mid-level horse that is slightly better only costs a little over a hundred silver dollars. The difference during this period is certainly due to the fact that good horses are hard to find and the price is inflated, but if they are raised to waste, who will care?
If the price is falsely high or not, you have to pay what you deserve...
"Thank you, boss."
"Mr. Bai knows how to raise horses?"
Lao Li's nervous expression suddenly relaxed a lot.
But I was also a little surprised in my heart.
Raising a horse may seem simple, but in fact it requires slow work and skill. Those who know how to raise a horse may not be considered a guest in the hall, but they will have no worries about food and drink wherever they go.
"know a bit."
Bai Gui smiled.
His father, Bai Youde, was a long-term worker and a groom, and he had already passed on the method of raising horses to him. However, Bai Youde's method of raising horses was not very clever. He just knew how to raise the horses and not let them lose quality. But when he was in Japan,
I participated in archery competitions, including horseback riding and archery events, and also learned some knowledge about scientific horse breeding.
Lao Li thanked him and then left.
After Lao Li left for a while, Bai Gui thought about it and took out the letterhead and envelope from the suitcase.
He had just settled down in Yanjing.
I have to write a reply to my friend.
He also needs to tell some relatives in Qin Province that he is currently in Yanjing and will not return to Qin Province until some time later, so that they don't have to worry.
…
For several days, Bai Gui visited Bai Mansion.
Improve relationship.
However, the day after the horse was presented to him, Bai Xiuzhu had a slight quarrel with him and refused to tell him the reason. However, the quarrel did not last long, about a quarter of an hour, and they reconciled as before.
The days passed slowly like this, about seven or eight days passed.
Brother Xun came to visit.
"Brother Meihe, you came to Yanjing and didn't tell me the news..."
"Don't let me take care of the landlord's friendship."
"I am disappointed."
In the living room, Brother Xun had just settled down and was lying on the sofa. He couldn't stop sarcastic words, saying that he forgot his friends because of sex, or that he was not enough friends, with a look of disdain on his face.
"If I hadn't heard the news, I wouldn't have known you had returned to China..."
he said.
"Brother Yucai, I don't want this either. You know me. If I come back in an upright manner, how much trouble I will be in..."
"If Xiuzhu hadn't been my fiancée, whom I haven't seen for many years, I wouldn't have returned to Yanjing. I would have gone back to my Qin Province."
Bai Gui looked indifferent and said slowly.
Brother Xun previously worked in the newspaper office, but with the abdication of Xunqing, the world situation changed. Under the recommendation of Principal Cai, Brother Xun resigned from the newspaper office and returned to China to serve as the first section chief of the Department of Education.
He was the chief, and later he was appointed as an official again, and now he is the Minister of Education.
However, Brother Xun's job in this education department is a sinecure, and he spends his days in leisure. Every day, he is either copying ancient steles, compiling inscriptions on epigraphs or stone tablets, and proofreading ancient books.
"Bai Xiuzhu..."
Brother Xun's tone paused.
Unexpectedly, he met Bai Gui for the first time in the embassy. While chatting, Bai Xiuzhu took his seat, which made him very embarrassed and he didn't know where to go.
Now I can't imagine that when Bai Gui just returned to China, he didn't look for him as a friend first, but instead looked for a fiancée.
"Okay, let's not talk too much."
Brother Xun took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said slowly and calmly: "Recently, many people in the government are discussing what you, Bai Meihe, are planning to do when you return to China. I believe that Brother Meihe has received many invitations since your return to China.
The invitation..."
"Brother Yucai is right. In the past few days, forty or fifty invitations have been sent to me. Some want to invite me to work in departments, some want me to teach in universities, and some want me to attend banquets and get to know each other.
One or two..."
Bai Gui nodded.
He is now like a great sage in ancient times. Many people want to invite him to serve as an official or teach. Because if he can be invited to serve, it is equivalent to having a reputation as a polite and virtuous corporal. And he is a young man. Once
To become an official, the prospects are immeasurable...
This is when he returned to China secretly.
If he had returned to China in an honest manner, he would probably be in a prosperous state now.
"But I politely declined these letters."
Bai Gui sighed.
If he hadn't thought about the pain of missing each other when he first met Bai Xiuzhu, he wouldn't have left Yanjing early. Otherwise, he would have packed his bags and left Yanjing long ago.
"I know that Brother Meihe is unwilling to serve as an official."
Brother Xun nodded.
This news was also circulated among the officials.
Otherwise, with Baigui's reputation, the price offered would definitely not be low, and there would be no response until now.
"If Brother Meihe is unwilling to serve as an official..."
"It's better to teach."
Brother Xun smiled and said.
"Teaching?"
Bai Gui frowned.
With his talent, teaching is definitely enough. The status of a teacher is also not low. The status of a teacher is very high. If you don't want to become an official, teaching is indeed a good idea.
Using this as an excuse to avoid serving in official positions can avoid a lot of trouble.
Of course, the so-called teaching does not mean that he has been teaching forever. It is just a transitional period for him in Yanjing. After handling the affairs of Yanjing, he can resign.
"Brother Yucai is joking. Nowadays, major universities in Yanjing are in a state of turmoil. I don't want to accept this arrogance when I go to teach!"
Bai Gui refused.
In the pre-Qing Dynasty, the three major universities in China were Beiyang University, Shanxi University, and Jingshi University. Later, the Qing Dynasty abdicated, and Jingshi University was renamed Peking University. This is the well-deserved number one university in Yanjing, followed by the preparatory program for studying in the United States.
class.
As for the future four major universities, Fu Jen University and Yenching University, they have not yet been established.
And now Yan Fu is the president of Peking University...
I sent him an invitation a few days ago.
Before President Cai reformed Peking University, Peking University was in a state of chaos and had an unhealthy academic style. At this time, there was a saying in the eight alleys of Yanjing called "Two colleges and one hall." The hall refers to the Great Hall of the Capital, that is, Peking University.
The fierce general of the brothel...
After all, the Capital University Hall is divided into the Jinshi Hall, the History Hall, and the Medical Hall. Each of them is an official, and they are full of official style. How can they study seriously?
Every student there has a footman, and every time it's time for class, a footman will shout: "Master, class is here."
Although Bai Gui believed that he was not an ordinary person, he did not think he was qualified to teach these officials.
"Brother Meihe, if you go to Peking University to teach, wouldn't you still be interested in officialdom..."
Brother Xun smiled.
Peking University is similar to the former Imperial College. Can ordinary people teach there?
Doctors from the Five Classics were all close associates of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
“Then where will I teach?”
"Besides Peking University, there is no other place suitable for me to teach."
Bai Gui frowned.
"Have you ever considered a girls' college, Miwa-nii?"
Brother Xun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Now that Mr. De is here, women's rights are also higher. If you, Brother Meihe, are to be your assistants, it will greatly develop women's education. Now it depends on whether you are willing, Brother Meihe...
