"Some people are born as princes, and some are born with insufficient food! Can you choose? No! I, Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, was working as a cook in the Turkic camp a year ago, and a year and a half ago, I was working as a grain transporter in Mayi.
Xiangyong, in the eyes of all the gentlemen at that time, I was probably not as good as an ox or a horse, but today, I am standing here, what do you think?"
"Each of you has the right to vote. This is called fairness. How many votes each person can get is a matter of personal ability. Whether you are reincarnated well is also a matter of ability. There are ten opportunities, and not everyone will have a good background.
.Not everyone has the same idea as you. I believe that most students can learn a little bit of my temper after following me for a few months! Princes and generals have a lot of talent! In Datang Technical School, what we look at is ability.
, it depends on whether a person is good or not, if he is not good, then he is not considered rubbish?!"
Cui Guangfu was so ashamed that he bowed to the end and said: "The student realizes his mistake and is willing to ask to be suspended from the grade. Please ask the principal for permission."
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. I know you are a very hard-working person. With your strength, you should be able to graduate. Come back to the queue and listen to what I have to say."
Cui Guangfu returned to the crowd and stood up. Li Mu continued: "Classmate Cui Guangfu just mentioned that the voting may be biased. I also gave everyone the answer. There will definitely be bias, but it is also a kind of strength. There is no background.
People can achieve excellence through their own efforts. If you know that you have no background and are still unwilling to work hard, then your failure is natural and you have no one to blame."
"The people selected in this way either have extraordinary abilities or extraordinary backgrounds, and are not considered ordinary. So how can ordinary people graduate? Don't worry, the principal has thought carefully about it for you."
"Everyone takes classes together. The teachers who teach you are all the same. No one knows your strength better than your teacher. Therefore, except for the ten people selected,
You also have to accept the grading from the teacher. All the people who have taught you, including your carpenter teacher, bricklayer teacher, etc., will participate in the grading, and the scores they give you will determine your fate!"
Li Mu looked at the students and took in all their expressions: "I saw the expressions of some of you... Ha, are you a little guilty? You don't have enough respect for the teacher on weekdays? Are you yelling at me? Especially for the carpenter teacher and the bricklayer teacher.
This coolie can't control his behavior and is being disrespectful?"
"For such a person, I can only give you two words of praise."
"You will all recite my principal's article "Teacher's Talk". There is a sentence in it, "A teacher is the one who preaches, accepts karma and resolves doubts." You all know that respecting teachers is important, but why can't you practice it? Because they are carpenters, and they are
Bricklayers, if you look down on them and don't respect them as your teachers, they also don't have to respect you and you have to suffer the low marks!"
"Today, ten people will be selected. Tonight, your teacher will grade you one by one. Before noon tomorrow, the scores will be tallied up. The forty people with the highest scores will be selected to graduate. The rest will be in this period.
Students who are repeating a grade.”
"Forty people who can graduate, you also have the right to choose where to go. But this power is not unlimited. The ten yamen require different scores. For example: the Patent Office, as the core yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it requires
The score may be higher. Only if your score exceeds the score line, you can choose freely."
"Of course, every yamen in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very important. I don't suggest that you must choose the yamen with high scores. You should still look at your own abilities and weigh whether you can do it. If you can't do it, after entering the yamen,
You may also be kicked out. If you really get to that point, you will be laughed at."
"Students who are repeating a grade need to pay another semester's tuition. We won't charge you more, it's still three hundred guan. If you can't afford it, that's okay. Just pack up and get out and make room for good people."
Li Mu glanced at the crowd and said, "Do I understand what I said? Raise your hand if you have any questions!"
The students looked at each other, but no one stood up. At this time, Changsun rushed forward and said, "Teacher, the student has something to say."
"explain."
"Students have requested to withdraw from today's vote."
Li Mu frowned slightly and said, "Why is this?"
Changsun Chong said loudly: "The most typical example of the situation mentioned by Cui Guangfu just now is the student. The student's father is the uncle of the current dynasty, Changsun Wuji, the Minister of Civil Affairs, this is something that all classmates know. Or
Due to the majesty of the father, or due to human feelings, it is very likely that many classmates will vote for the student. Even if the student is very confident and can be ranked in the top ten in the same period, there will inevitably be rumors, and the student does not care.
But we cannot let our teachers be criticized. Therefore, in order to avoid this happening, students would rather withdraw from voting today. Students are confident that teachers will give students a fair score. With this score, students can choose any of the ten schools."
As soon as these words came out, Cui Guangfu's face suddenly became embarrassed. His father was just a merchant, so naturally he couldn't afford to offend the eldest son's family. But eldest sun Chong's words were obviously unhappy. What should we do? He offended the Minister of Civil Affairs.
, even if you become an official, can you live a good life?
Li Mu glanced at Changsun Chong, then at Cui Guangfu, and said: "What you two said each makes sense. But, I set the rules, not you. Changsun Chong, you don't care about gossip, do you?
Do you think I will care? Not to mention you students, the court officials have gossiped about me a lot. When did I, Li Mu, care about me? How about Wei Zheng? How about the king? I have my own reasons.
As my student, under the guise of protecting me, you question my rules, which is simply abominable. I will punish you as a scribe ten times and learn how to respect your teacher!"
Changsun Chong glanced at Li Mu and without a word of excuse, he bowed and said, "The student knows his mistake."
"Okay, no one has any objections. You should follow my rules. Everyone writes a note and hands it to me. I will take a look first to see if you are shameless.
Those who wrote themselves and those who did not write themselves are all valid votes. After we summarize the votes, we will count the results on the spot so that you can all be convinced!"
Tang Guan acted as Li Mu's little helper and distributed pens and papers to all the students. Cut a piece of rice paper and give each person a small piece, which was enough to write their names. Li Mu took the tickets one by one, checked them, and put them away.
.In less than a quarter of an hour, all seventy-two tickets were written.
With Li Mu's supervision, naturally no one dared to write about himself. After Li Mu collected all the votes, he mixed them up so that no one could tell whose hand the vote came from. Then he asked Li Siwen to sing the votes and Tang Guan to count them, and they were quickly selected.
The ten people with the most votes.
To Li Mu's surprise, Changsun Chong was only ranked second, with ten votes. In front of him, there was another person, with twelve votes. It was one of the two people recommended by Wei Zheng, named Xu Ji.
Li Mu had not paid much attention to this person. It was a bit unexpected, so he asked: "Your name is Xu Ji, where are you from?"
"Gaoyang Xu family."
"I remember that you were recommended by Duke Wei. What is your relationship with Duke Wei?"
"Wei Gong has an old relationship with his uncle, so he recommended the student for his uncle's sake."
"Who is your uncle?"
"He was one of the eighteen scholars in the Prince of Qin's palace. He is now a writer and a scholar of Sui history, Xu Jingzong."
The name "Oh" is very popular. In "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang", this old guy is very bad and has no moral integrity. Li Mu also knows a little bit about his relationship with Wei Zheng, and he is investigating Wei Zheng's background.
I learned about it accidentally.
At that time, Yu Wenhuaji launched a coup and killed Xu Jingzong's father Xu Shanxin. Xu Jingzong knelt down and begged for mercy to avoid death. He fled to Wagangzhai and became Li Mi's clerk. He was a colleague in the same office as Wei Zheng. No wonder Wei Zheng recommended him.
, it turns out there is a friendship.
Xu Jingzong was not well-known in the Zhenguan Dynasty, but in the era of Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi, because he was able to figure out his superiors' intentions and support the deposed king, he had a prosperous official career and achieved the position of Zhongshuling. Company Commander Sun Wuji and others
They were all fought by him.
Of course, whether Xu Jingzong is good or bad has little to do with Li Mu. After all, Li Zhi is still a two-year-old baby, Wu Zetian is nowhere to be found, and there is no need to care about him as a writer sitting on the bench compiling national history.
.Looking at Xu Ji looking at him anxiously, Li Mu knew what he was worried about. He was worried that his origin would affect his future. After all, even if the rules were set, Li Mu could change them at will.
Li Mu laughed and said: "If your classmates can recommend you as the number one, you must be capable. I respect the students' choices. You are the number one. You can choose for yourself. Which yamen do you want to enter?"
Xu Ji was overjoyed and said: "Students want to enter the Industrial and Commercial Bureau!"
Li Mu took a breath. What he was most afraid of was that Xu Ji would choose the Patent Office or the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Although he was a little worried, there was no big problem. Li Mu nodded and said, "Okay, then the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. From the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
From top to bottom, there is the director, who corresponds to the sixth rank, the division chief, who corresponds to the seventh rank, the section chief, who corresponds to the eighth rank, and the chief officer, who corresponds to the ninth rank. I give you the title of seventh rank director. You will report to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow afternoon and go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry the day after.
, we will arrange a place for you to work in the future.”
"Thank you so much, principal!" Xu Ji was overjoyed and was about to kneel down. Li Mu helped him up and said, "After you graduate today, you can no longer call me principal. In the future, as an official in the same dynasty, I hope you can be loyal to His Majesty and work diligently."
, you should know what I mean by these words, I hope you won’t disappoint me." After a pause, Li Mu continued: "The consequences of disappointing me are quite serious, and you may not be able to bear it."
"Students note."
Li Mu waved his hand. The second place was Chang Sun Chong. Chang Sun Chong looked ashamed when he saw Li Mu. He didn't expect that he was not the first. He asked himself whether it was in terms of the level of effort or the prestige in the hearts of the students.
, he did his best, but in this anonymous vote, he only got ten votes, which was indeed a bit shameful.
Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's good. Your votes are slightly lower. It may be related to the fact that I always ask you to do things and you are alienated from your classmates. It doesn't matter. My teacher doesn't blame you. Choose, you want to go
Which yamen?"
Changsun Chong glanced at Xu Ji and hesitated to speak. Li Mu understood what he meant and said: "The top ten of you are all top talents from Datang Technical School. I am a little reluctant to put them in the same yamen. But I respect it.
Your choice, if you also want to join the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, you can, but you have to live under Xu Ji, after all, he is the first and you are the second."
Changsun Chong pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said: "The student would like to ask his teacher for advice."
"What's my suggestion..." Li Mu wanted to say anything, but as he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, cleared his throat and said: "I met with His Majesty a few days ago and heard some rumors. It seems that His Majesty
We have to rectify the imperial property recently. We need to make it clear what fields, orchards, Heze, etc. I think the Imperial Property Bureau has a lot to do. If you are willing, you can come to the Imperial Property Bureau."
Changsun Chong said without any hesitation: "Student, listen to your teacher and go to the Imperial Property Bureau."
"Okay, then you can come to the Imperial Property Bureau to be the director. Like Xu Ji, you will go to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow and report to the Ministry of Work the next day."
With the first two proofs, I understand the way to go later. There are ten yamen, corresponding to ten people. If you choose someone you have not chosen before, you can be the director of the seventh grade. If you choose the same one as before, because of the ranking
Staying back, Guan'er can only be small.
This is a bit difficult to handle. There are nine bureaus, one guard, and ten government offices. It can be seen from the names that there must be good and bad.
For example, can the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Salesian Bureau be compared? Why do you come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Who can be willing to go to the Salesian Bureau to coax the children?
The people at the front still have options. They can’t go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, but they can also go to the Imperial Property Bureau and Fengchen Bureau, which are both good places to go. But when they reach the seventh or eighth place, they have no choice. The eighth person went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
Among the eighth-grade section chiefs, the ninth one went to Fengchen Bureau to become the eighth-grade section chief. The tenth one was really unwilling to be the eighth-grade section chief, so he gritted his teeth and chose the Salesian Bureau.
What surprised Li Mu was that no one chose the Patent Office! He thought that this would be the most popular yamen. But after thinking about it, he also understood the reason. No one chose the Patent Office. It should be the same as the current big yamen.
It is related to the environment. It has been a long time since the Patent Office was established. In addition to Bimenting's printing technology, the patents in it are Li Mu's various patents, and some are from craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry. In response to Li Mu's call, or
No one from the various sects or merchants participated in the patent application just to make a little money.
Perhaps they felt that this patent office was destined to be in the cold, and were worried about being on the bench, so they chatted with interest and would rather go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to be the section chief and the Salesian Bureau to coax the children than to be the director here.
What a bunch of idiots!
But that's fine, it's a good opportunity to arrange for someone to feel at ease with.
Moreover, isn’t the Salesian Bureau good?
It seems it’s time to teach the children another lesson!
