Next to the ancestral temple of the Gao family, Gao Shilian specially dedicated a large room to worship the statue of his ancestor Gao Yuan. He worshiped and kowtowed three times and nine times every day, and served it with delicious food and drink.
On this day when he was worshiping, Gao Xingcheng jogged in, holding a copy of the Tang Dynasty Newspaper in his hand, and breathlessly said: "Dad... Du He is doing something wrong again."
Gao Shilian slowly got up and asked, "What happened again?"
"Dad, see for yourself..."
Gao Shilian took a look at the Datang News and saw a very eye-catching recruitment notice.
After reading it, he laughed loudly and said: "Nonsense... what a nonsense... Then Du He also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a magnificent Mid-Levels College. Did he really think that anyone would become a teacher? Since ancient times, everything has happened.
All are low-class, but the only one who is good at reading is to become an official. Only those down-and-out scholars who can read a little cannot become officials, nor can they enter the schools in various state capitals, so they have to open a private school to earn a living...
...How can a truly capable person go to Duhe's Banshan College? Just watch, in a few days, this Banshan College will probably disappear..."
Gao Shilian simply did not believe that Duhe's Banshan College could be established.
Even though Du He gave a lot of money, the most indispensable thing in this era is people who have money like dirt. As long as they can serve as officials in the court, it doesn't matter even if they eat bran every day.
At this time, Gao Xingcheng suddenly pointed at the statue of his ancestor and said curiously: "Dad, do you think it's strange? I found that our ancestors are very similar to what I saw yesterday when I went to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Viewing Hall at the foot of Lishan Mountain...
The difference is that the statue has no name! Dad, do you think this statue is fake and does not belong to our ancestors at all? "
Snapped.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Xixi was slapped by Gao Shilian.
Gao Shilian said angrily: "Sir, from now on, you are not allowed to discuss the statues of your ancestors, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
…
There are not a few people in Chang'an City who regard Du He's establishment of Banshan College as a joke.
Everyone thinks that Du He's Banshan College is unlikely to succeed.
First, no one would want to go to Banshan College to teach. Scholars in this era are proud to serve as officials in the court. Who would teach under a businessman? And those who can only open private schools to make a living cannot
Requests to Duho.
Second, no one will go to Mid-Levels College to study.
Therefore, everyone thought that what Du He did was just a joke.
When the advertisement was posted, people signed up every day, but they were all half-hearted guys. Not to mention meeting Du He's requirements, even Ma Zhou himself couldn't stand it.
Several days passed without finding a suitable person. Ma Zhou was so anxious that he felt angry. He couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep well all day, and his mouth was blistered, but there was still nothing he could do.
Seeing that half a month was coming, Ma Zhou couldn't bear it anymore and had no choice but to seek Du He's help.
"Du He, if you don't help me, this Banshan College will be doomed. Three days have passed, and there is still no outstanding person willing to come to our Banshan College. Do you think it is irritating or not?" Ma Zhou
He said worriedly, "Du He, it's better for you to take action personally. You have many ways, so you must have something, right..."
Du He couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ma Zhou's appearance.
He thought to himself, this old horse is talented, but he is too old-fashioned and doesn't know how to adapt.
He stood up, pointed to a beggar's chicken in front of him, and asked: "Old Ma, do you want to eat chicken?"
Ma Zhou said angrily: "Let's eat some chicken. I can't even drink water now. Du He, stop teasing me and think of a solution quickly. Otherwise, don't let me act like this."
If you are the dean, just send me to Lantian to dig coal. I think I am not suitable to be the deputy dean at all."
Du He forced Ma Zhou to sit on the chair and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, people think of ways. Old Ma, there are no teachers now. It's not a difficult thing... The story of buying horse bones for a thousand dollars, you
have you heard of it?"
Ma Zhouyi was stunned and nodded: "This scripture comes from "Warring States Policy"."
Du He hummed and nodded: "In the ancient times, there was a king who asked for a thousand-mile horse with a thousand gold, but he couldn't get it in three years. Juan... the person who came to have a thousand-mile horse came three times."
Du He directly memorized the entire allusion word for word.
Ma Zhou was shocked.
This memory is also very good.
"Du He, I have been studying all my life, and I have never tried to understand it, and I can't remember most of it... I didn't expect you to remember this story so clearly. You are worthy of being the smartest person in the Tang Dynasty!" Ma Zhou was so impressed that he fell to the ground.
"Oh, you're talking about this...it's right behind you!" Du He pointed behind Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou looked back and saw a picture hanging on the wall, which was the story of buying horse bones for a thousand gold.
His whole body suddenly felt bad.
But he immediately understood what Du He meant, and said with bright eyes: "You mean, we pay a high price to get people to defect to us?"
"Yes, otherwise how can I express my thirst for talents?" Du He chuckled, already having an idea in his mind.
Early the next morning.
The latest issue of Datang Xinbao is published again.
The Banshan College teacher recruitment notice still exists, but some content has been added.
[New matters for specially hired senior teachers]
[Anyone who has served as a teacher in the capital, prefecture or county schools can work as a teacher at Banshan College, with a monthly salary of 50 guan, and free room and board]
[Any scholar who can work as a teacher at Banshan College will receive a monthly salary of 500 yuan and a villa building on the bank of the Ba River as a gift],
[Any Jinshi who works as a teacher at Banshan College will receive a monthly salary of 1,000 guan, a one-time settlement allowance of 20,000 guan, a free villa building on the bank of the Bahe River, and the ability to serve as the teaching minister and other positions]
When people saw this newly published news, they were immediately shocked.
Those who serve as teachers in schools in the capital or in prefectures and counties are all famous people.
Scholars are divided into students and disciples. Students are outstanding students who graduated from the capital and prefecture and county schools. The best students are of course the students from the Imperial College. Xiang Gong are those who passed the state and county examinations and were recommended to Chang'an to study for the province.
exam students,
Jinshi is a big deal. Scholars can become Jinshi only after passing the provincial examination held by Shangshu Province. Jinshi is a symbol of leaping over the dragon's gate. They can directly enter the court and become officials, and they are highly valued by the emperor. For example, when the emperor
Xuanling, the left prime minister, was a scholar and Jinshi in the Sui Dynasty.
In everyone's opinion, it is even less possible for these people to work as teachers at Mid-Levels College.
Dream Group.
Ma Zhou came to Du He with the newspaper and said helplessly: "Du He, you are not buying a horse bone with a thousand gold, you are buying a thousand-mile horse with a thousand gold. I thought you were going to offer high prices to those private school teachers, but I didn't expect that,
You actually have an idea for a scholar and a scholar, this is impossible..."
