Du He laughed and said: "Of course, what I want to do is to buy a horse with a thousand gold, preferably a thousand-mile horse... Buying a horse bone with a thousand gold sounds very nice, but it may not work, and maybe it will be punished by others.
Let's laugh at it. Besides, what's the use of really spending a lot of money to favor a few losers? It's better for me to go into battle myself. Lao Ma, calm down and wait. In a few days, someone will definitely come to your door.
"
"Okay..." Ma Zhou said helplessly.
Du He was increasingly unable to understand what he was doing.
Don't dare to say, don't dare to ask.
…
The famous Zuixian Tower in Changyuan City.
On the third floor, there was a bustle of people and the seats were filled with guests. In the corner, there were two young men, tasting a few simple side dishes on the table while reading the Datang News.
The two of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, but their temperament was extraordinary.
Suddenly, one of them said: "Brother Xiao, are you really not interested? I am a Jinshi, and my monthly salary is one thousand gu, and I can immediately receive a reward of 20,000 gu, and I can also serve as the teaching minister. Although I don't know what the teaching minister is.
But after all, he is working under the Marquis of Huyi County, so it must not be bad. As the saying goes, a third-grade official in front of the prime minister's door. Besides, Du He is still from the Duke of Lai State. Although he has opened a palace now, he can
Dad is still Du Xiang..."
The man named Xiao showed a disdainful smile and said: "I have no interest in this kind of thing. Du He has a bad reputation. I, Xiao Ziyi, also followed him at the beginning... Forget it, don't mention it.
Even if I starve to death, I will not work for Du He..."
The man smiled and said: "Brother Xiao is a man of integrity. Come on, let me toast you!"
The two of them were drinking when a few children selling newspapers suddenly rushed up from downstairs.
Today, the boy selling newspapers has become the most beautiful scenery in Chang'an City.
These children were originally little beggars in Chang'an City. Later, they were organized by Datang Study House to sell newspapers. For a time, there were many fewer beggars in Chang'an City. Because of this, someone in the court reported that Du He had made a big mistake.
I want to give Du He credit for his good deeds, but unfortunately there are very few people who respond.
The children came up and started shouting.
"The latest issue of Datang News!"
"In Datang Xinbao, the Marquis of Huyi County wrote an article himself. There are Bole in the world, and then there are thousand-mile horses. Thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not always exist..."
"Thousand-mile horses often exist, but bole does not always exist..."
The two men in the corner didn't take it seriously at first, but the man named Xiao suddenly raised his head, savored these words carefully, and was shocked. He rushed forward, grabbed a child, threw him more than ten pennies, and took
Read a newspaper and return to your seat.
The man next to him teased: "Brother Xiao, didn't you just say that you looked down on Du He? This Datang News was run by Du He, and he also wrote "Horses"... Do you think it's strange or not?
, wasn’t Du He the first poet in the Tang Dynasty, but now he changed to parallel prose? "
"No...this is not a simple parallel prose..."
After saying that, the man surnamed Xiao stood up, held up the newspaper, and read loudly: "There are Bole in the world, and then there are thousand-mile horses. Thousand-mile horses always exist, but Bole does not always exist. Therefore, although there are famous horses, they are only humiliated by slaves.
A thousand-mile horse cannot be called a thousand-mile horse!"
As soon as he started to recite a few sentences, people around him put down their chopsticks and listened carefully.
Wait until he finishes reading.
"good!"
"Good reading!"
Everyone around him stood up and applauded him.
The man surnamed Xiao said helplessly: "Everyone, it's not that I read it well, it's that Du He wrote it well!"
"It turns out to be Du He... I didn't expect that he wrote so well!"
Everyone started talking.
The man surnamed Xiao returned to his seat and said: "Thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not always exist... This statement makes sense. I have a bold idea..."
"Brother Xiao, please tell me!"
"Yu Ping, you also served as a teacher in the Dingzhou Official School, and you also had two disciples who were recommended as scholars. You fully meet the first condition mentioned by Du He. You can work as a teacher at Banshan College with a monthly salary.
Fifty guan, and you can get a reward of 1,000 guan... Just go and try it to see if what Du He said is true!" said the man surnamed Xiao.
Of these two people, one was named Xiao Shen and the other was named Lin Jizhi.
After hearing this, Lin Jizhi was surprised and said: "Brother Xiao, didn't you just say that even if you starve to death, you won't go work for Du He?"
Xiao Shen widened his eyes and asked, "Did I just say that?"
"Hear it with your own ears..."
"Then you must have heard wrong!"
Lin Jizhi: "..."
…
In order to recruit talents, Du He also specially set up a talent recruitment point in the store where Dream Group sells rotating wooden chairs and mahjong machines, and personally took charge of it.
There is an endless stream of people applying, but unfortunately none of them meet the requirements. Not to mention meeting the requirements for high-level talents, even ordinary teachers do not meet the requirements.
So, Du He is taking a nap in the yard at the moment.
"Ah sneeze..."
The weather in mid-September was already a bit cold. A breeze blew and Du He couldn't help but sneeze.
At this moment, Ma Zhou ran in in a panic.
"Du He, don't sleep, don't sleep...a high-level talent has arrived!" Ma Zhou was wearing a long robe, but his speech was full of modern style, which was all led astray by Du He.
Du He stood up hurriedly and asked: "How advanced is it?"
"A young man came outside and said that he had served as a teacher in Dingzhou Academy and that two of his disciples had been elected as scholars..." Ma Zhou said excitedly.
He had thought that no one would sign up at all, but he didn't expect that as soon as the recruitment notice for this senior talent was posted, someone would come to his door.
Du He stretched and said calmly: "I thought a Jinshi came here, but I didn't expect it was just a gentleman. Let's go and have a look..."
Ma Zhou was speechless for a while and quickly led Du He outside.
Du He walked into the room and saw a thin man with ordinary clothes sitting on a revolving wooden chair.
When the man saw Du He, he stood up quickly to say hello.
"May I ask your name, sir?" Du He asked directly.
The man said: "I am Xia Lin Ji Zhi, whose name is Yu Ping. He heard that the Marquis of Huyi County was recruiting talents, so he came to try it out."
"You said you once served as a teacher at Dingzhou Official School, do you have proof?" Du He asked while looking at the other person.
Lin Jizhi hurriedly took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and said, "This is the document issued to me by the Dingzhou Prefecture. It has my name, fingerprints, and the seal of the Dingzhou Governor on it."
Du He took it over and looked at it. The document was genuine.
He waved and asked his servants to bring him pen, ink and paper.
Du He smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, please write your name again."
Lin Jizhi did as he was told and wrote his name on the paper.
Du He took it over and compared it carefully, and found that although the handwriting had changed, it was written by the same person, so he nodded and said with satisfaction: "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, if you are willing, you can become our Banshan College student from today on."
A teacher!”
