Chapter seven hundred and eighty second lure to benefit
Of course, the fourth prince and Zhang Chen understood the principle of giving benefits to studying. However, both of them were suddenly brought out by Zhang Shou. One did not have time to bring any money, and the other was penniless when he left the palace, and Zhang Chen
Even the entourage was assigned by Zhang Shou, and the fourth prince was led by two stingy boys, Xiao Peanut and Xiao Cheng, who would break a penny in half. How could they get any benefit from it?
Even the candy bars that Yang Hao gave out when he was coaxing people to study were all bought with Yang Hao's own money... Just for this, Zhang Chen felt so embarrassed. This was the first time in his life that he had tasted the difficulty of paying a penny.
The taste of a dead hero.
Fortunately, he originally planned to use money to clear the way, but he was provoked by Zhang Shousan's two words. He didn't react, so he came out empty-handed, and was left in this remote place by Zhang Shou...
Why is this village near Tongzhou? A lot of people here have never been to Tongzhou. The village chief has been, but he was very embarrassed to tell him that the road is difficult to walk in this cold weather, and there are only a few animals in the village.
, so I dare not lend them to him to go to Tongzhou, and Zhang Shou gave instructions before leaving, not to let them run around, otherwise he will not be able to bear the responsibility if something goes wrong!
Thinking that the village chief had vaguely hinted that Zhang Shou might have some spies here, so Zhang Shou now said that they would not give any benefits, Zhang Chen couldn't help complaining: "Young gentleman, please lend me two hundred guan.
Of course I can give you plenty of benefits, but don’t I have no money now? It’s hard to move forward without money. You all know that these guys are so profitless that they let us waste our efforts here!”
However, the fourth prince always played nice in front of Zhang Shou. He was not as direct as Zhang Chen. He stood up, went behind Zhang Shou and squeezed his shoulders as if to please, and then whispered: "Teacher, I want to do that too."
It's a benefit for them, but after asking around, it turns out that the people here don't know how to spin or weave, they don't know how to grow mulberry and raise silkworms, and their farming skills are only mediocre."
"Although those overseas seeds are very productive, isn't it the time for spring sowing yet?" The fourth prince tried his best to show that he had also thought about it and was not like Zhang Chen, a rich man who only knows how to throw money. When he saw Zhang Shou
He smiled and said nothing, but continued to speak eloquently, "Since the teacher is here, why don't you give us some advice?"
This time, he never mentioned the word bet. You must know that if this continues, the bet between him and Zhang Chen will become a joke - and if someone is unwilling to join them, Zhang Shou will be killed.
The guy Luo Sanhe who took him to another village actually won, so he would definitely want to hit him to death!
Although Zhang Chen couldn't be as stupid as the fourth prince, the fourth prince spoke first. He thought that asking Zhang Shou for advice was not a scandal, and he couldn't help but whispered: "I have asked those boys before, but I don't want to
Do you want to go into the city and have a look? There are big houses in the city, silks and satins, fine wines and delicacies, and many beauties who are just like the ones in the paintings. As a result..."
He paused for a moment, and his face turned a little darker: "It turned out that those boys were really shouting and yelling, but when they really wanted to go to the city, they all shook their heads. Some people said that staying in the city for one night would cost all the money at home.
Some people say that one meal in the city can feed the family for a month. Some people say that the women in the city can cheat people and turn rich men into paupers. I don’t know who said this!”
Zhang Shou gritted his teeth when he heard what Zhang Chen said. After being slightly stunned, he burst out laughing.
How could describing a city as a den of monsters and monsters be so similar to adults trying to scare children by saying there was a big bad wolf on the mountain behind them? Seeing the fourth prince nodding his head there, I thought he couldn't fool his friends, so he felt very resentful.
After sending it, he asked with a smile: "Do you want to coax them to go to Tongzhou?"
Seeing that the two of them fell silent immediately, and Xiao Cheng hesitated to speak, he continued with a half-smile: "I don't expect Zhang Chen to go to Tongzhou City to find your Duke of Qin because he has no money or help.
People come to help, so the purpose of going to the city this time is to let these country children see how big the world is, so they have the desire to go out, so that they can study well?"
"It's a good idea, I've thought about it."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shou would confirm his approach. Zhang Chen was immediately overjoyed. But the next moment, Zhang Shou suddenly changed his tone and asked: "What about the expenses for going to the city? Have you told them that everything is included in the package?"
On you?"
"Of course Zhang Chen said so!"
This time, the fourth prince couldn't help but speak for Zhang Chen. He didn't care that the two were betting opponents, and said hurriedly: "He told those boys at that time that he would go to Tongzhou with him to eat and drink.
, and pick out some new clothes, this promise is clearly given!"
"Very good...the question is, do people believe it?"
Zhang Shou asked again unhurriedly, and then saw the little naughty kid looking at each other and saying nothing at the same time. He knew that these two paupers who couldn't even spend money to coax the kid couldn't win the trust at all.
To others. Of course, the village chief, who was obviously too smart, should also be the instigator.
"Look, you have been here for several days. Not only have you not made any progress, you may have been regarded as a libertine who was kicked out of your family. Isn't this very aggrieved? If only King Jiangdu and I hadn't come to visit today.
Even if you continue to stay, tell yourself, what will be the consequences?"
"Instead of saying that you take people into the city and let them enjoy the scenery of Tongzhou with good food and drink, it is better to say that as long as they study hard and study well, you can find them a job that pays twenty guan a year in the future!
You know, twenty guan is enough for a family like this to live for a year. As for their elders, if they don’t believe you..."
"Zhang Chen, wouldn't you write a note and ask an elder to go to Tongzhou City to find the manager of your family's property, and then give that guy a part-time job for ten days and a half, so that he can make a small fortune before the New Year?
Zheng Jing, the same goes for you, just write a note and introduce someone to your sister Yingying's shop in Tongzhou City to work for a few days for less money and more money, wouldn't that be enough?"
"I forbid you from directly bringing foreign aid to this village to disrupt your gambling, but I do not forbid you from giving full play to your imagination. Remember, those who deceive people are liars, and those who are good at deceiving are most likely to be cheaters.
The prime minister or even the emperor himself. Everyone wants to beat a liar, but if he deceives others, how many people are willing to take the bait?"
"Teacher, if your father hears what you said, he will definitely scold you for talking nonsense!"
The fourth prince said this, but he smiled happily. If Zhang Shou came in person and explained the scale clearly, it would be much easier for him to operate. Although he is not like Zhang Chen, the money and manpower of the entire Qin Duke's palace can be used at his disposal.
However, this time Zhang Shou would not let this guy act like that, and he would also borrow Zhu Ying's shop to support him, so that would even things up!
Zhang Shou just laughed at the fourth prince's words. When he saw Zhang Chen's eyes rolling around, he said with a smile: "But, don't even think about borrowing the property over there to give you money and things. Duke Qin
I said hello to you, and the same goes to Yingying's property. By the way, let me give you a reminder. I used a trick when I was teaching in the village."
Seeing this, even the relatively honest Xiao Cheng blinked and looked at Zhang Shou, let alone Zhang Chen and the fourth prince. However, the next moment, the three of them were stunned by the answer Zhang Shou said.
"When reciting poems, those who can recite them will be given candies. But when reciting Jiujiu songs, it will be whoever can recite them the fastest. When I paid the tenant rent back then, I paid less than half of the tenant rent. I'm afraid some people won't.
I understand, and I specifically told them what it means to pay less than half of the rent."
"That means that their families can eat white rice and flour for several more days, it means that they won't eat glutinous vegetables just because of the large population, and it means that they can make one more new clothes during the New Year..."
"Why did I single out Xiao Qi and Deng Xiaodai in the first place? Not to mention Xiao Qi, his father is at least a scholar, but Deng Xiaodai has several children in his family. Although his uncle is a clerk in the Shuntian government office,
But he couldn't take care of so many nephews. When Deng Xiaodai first started studying, he didn't even know a few words, but because I said I would pay less than half of the rent, he took it seriously."
"He is indeed gifted. After I just finished reading Jiujiu Ge, he immediately jumped up and recited it again, and it was word for word. For this, he was scolded as cheating by other envious children. However, he did not
How to read, no one in the whole village except me, an idler, could teach him this. Later, I kept my promise and begged my mother to exempt them from half a year's rent."
Speaking of this, Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing. He thought that at first he really thought that the large land nearby belonged to his family and that he was an invisible landowner. However, three years later, when he met Zhu Ying, he realized that Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing was just a
He used the rent from this large piece of land to support his son-in-law. Of course, now that his son-in-law had become a full-time official, Zhu Ying also brought his dowry over that piece of land.
In the end, that land really became his Zhang family’s!
However, Zhang Chen and the Fourth Prince did not expect that Zhang Shou's thoughts would fly thousands of miles away. When they heard Zhang Shou's extraordinary reward... or encouragement, their imaginations suddenly opened up.
, thinking about how to start from Zhang Shou's approach, and then carry forward this motivational method.
The two of them are no longer the sons of Guijie who don't understand the fireworks of the world. Of course they know what the so-called half of the rent means to ordinary people. But if this is their own village, of course they can do this.
The problem is, this Baijia Village is not their village, how can they fight for rent exemption?
Seeing that Zhang Chen and the fourth prince were chatting with each other, clearly trying their best to think of a solution, Zhang Shou smiled and reminded: "Miss Ye is not just here to judge. She is related to the landlord of Baijia Village.
If you want to be exempted from rent, of course you will pay for it yourself in the future, so if you convince her, it will actually be very convenient for you to do things."
"In short, if you want to give benefits, you must remember not to talk in vain, but to let people see real benefits."
"Don't mention anything that doesn't make a difference. The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Common people, livelihood comes first. You can't spare a penny. If you talk in vain, who will believe you!
"
"Don't worry, young sir, I really understand this time!" Zhang Chen patted his chest, then glanced at the fourth prince who was darting around with his little eyes, and suddenly said, "However, this bet between Zheng Rong and I,
Do you want to continue? I didn’t mean to say that he is too young and is naturally not easy to win people’s trust. Why don’t I suffer a little and take him with me to forget it.”
"Who wants you to take me?" the fourth prince said instinctively, but after he said the words, he saw Zhang Shou looking at him with a half-smile, thinking that he and Xiao Cheng, the little peanut, had visited the market to conduct investigations and make plans, which was quite a good deal.
He was prepared, but when he was suddenly thrown into this small village, he was still so dumbfounded that he couldn't move. He finally whispered, "I still have Xiao Peanut and Xiao Cheng!"
Xiao Cheng didn't think so much, and nodded straightforwardly: "Master Zhang, this is a good suggestion. There are only five of us in total, and they don't believe us yet. If you still make a bet with Master Zhang, your strength will be scattered.
Maybe there will be no results after a month... But, Brother Zhang, do you think this Baijiacun can really select talents?"
"Who knows?" Zhang Shou casually said something that made people feel confused, but he saw Zhang Chen and the fourth prince staring at each other, although the look in their eyes was like a sword and gun clash, and it was extraordinary.
sparks, but in the end they did not deny suspending the bet and working together to win together. He couldn't help but laugh.
Outside the door, the village chief wanted to approach Zhang Shou to please him, but he stayed away under the gaze of Zhang Shou's followers, but he was really curious about what Zhang Shou was saying to people. He originally thought that he would be able to do it easily these days.
After trying to find out the details of the two young masters inside, one of the three companions turned out to be carefree but tight-lipped, while the other two were clever, one was good at martial arts, and they were not easy to deal with either.
What made him most confused was that the two young men, one big and one young, were really bent on picking out a few talents in Baijia Village... But let alone he didn't quite believe that these were the two men.
The real purpose of the villagers did not believe it. In addition, the Ye family was more famous in Tongzhou, so more and more people wanted to send their children to the Ye family as servants.
As for studying...it's so troublesome. After studying, can I still take the top prize?
So, when Zhang Shou came out of the house, the village chief, who had been looking around and waiting despite the cold wind, immediately trotted forward to greet him. But before he could say anything, Zhang Shou laughed and said:
"It seems that the two people inside are tight-lipped. You don't know their origins yet, do you?"
Seeing the stern expression on the village chief's face, he said bluntly: "That man who is about the same age as me is the eldest son of the Duke of Qin."
Faced with such an answer to the mystery revealed by Zhang Shou, the village chief's expression of astonishment flashed away, and then he said it was no wonder with a smile on his face, but in his heart he was thinking, since the elder one is the eldest son of Qin Guogong, then the other younger one
The child's surname was Zheng, could he be a relative of the emperor? The location was remote, and the rumors he heard about Zhang Shou were outrageous, so he never thought about the fourth prince.
Zhang Shou directly exposed Zhang Chen's identity, paused, and said to the village chief with a smile: "Next, if they have anything to do, you will do your best to help. Not to mention their time this time.
If you do things sincerely, even if you just come down to play, the things that leak out from under your fingernails will be enough to change the future of this village."
"Didn't you tell Mr. Yang that you envied my village? Now is a good opportunity. Don't get carried away by unnecessary speculations and suspicions."
