Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 204

Nanyang Technical School is a school with a beautiful environment, good conditions and strong teaching staff, which can accommodate more than [-] teachers and students.The school has gardens, courts, swimming pools, bathhouses, canteens, libraries and other facilities to provide teachers and students with a good learning and living environment. Due to business expansion and lack of teachers, we are recruiting from all walks of life:

arithmetician;
agronomist;
Gewushi;
astrologer;
potter;
weaver;
……

In the central area of ​​Nanyang City, such a very conspicuous recruitment notice was suddenly posted, and it immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.Everyone gathered in front of the recruitment announcement, and those who could read and read read the content above, watching the excitement cheerfully.Wuyang Guard is going to run a health school. Everyone has known this for a long time, and many people have visited their school. It is said that the walls of the school are pasted with gold bricks, and every window is made of high-quality colored glaze. Yes, it is the kind of colored glaze that is about the height of a person, and one piece is priceless. The school spent hundreds of yuan in one go, which is really extravagant!Now that the school is recruiting teachers, of course everyone has to go and see the excitement.

Yang Menglong was also happily sitting under a parasol, beside him was always Xiao Yufang who was as bright as a magnolia.It can be seen that he is very sincere, the tables are covered with festive red cloths, and there are a bunch of contract documents on it, waiting for someone to come and apply for the job.The recruitment revelation also came from his handwriting, which made Cheng Qi laugh out loud - the teaching staff is very strong. Even including Yang Menglong and Cheng Shi, there are only five teachers!Bragging is not a draft!But Yang Menglong wanted to write like this, so Xiao Yufang could only follow him, write it with a smile, and then came to recruit workers with him.If she doesn't come, she can't do it. If she doesn't come, the devil knows what ridiculous things this big horse monkey will do!

By the way, fifty steps away from here, Cheng Qi and Liu Ziyan also posted recruitment notices, but they recruited traditional private school teachers, and there were far fewer people watching than here, but when it comes to applying for jobs There are ten times more people here than here, and there are many people here, but everyone is looking at it cheerfully, and has no intention of applying for the job.

"We've already recruited five!" Cheng Qi shouted triumphantly.

"I'm going to sign a contract with the sixth one soon!" Liu Ziyan followed suit.

Yang Menglong is upset, damn it, I have already recruited several people over there, but this side is still a piece of shit, it doesn't make sense!He rolled up his sleeves and shouted at the guys who were surrounded by the recruitment notice on the inner and outer three floors: "I said, don't just look at it, everyone who has a skill comes here to apply! I assure you, this job is very easy. It’s very fulfilling and the treatment is very generous, why are you hesitating?”

Everyone looks at me and I look at you with funny looks on their faces.

Yang Menglong nudged Xiao Yufang with his elbow: "Help, help!"

Xiao Yufang said: "I won't do it! It's so embarrassing to shout and scream in public. I have to shout at you!" Seeing that Yang Menglong was about to stand up, his voice immediately raised three tones: "Don't stand on the table. !"

The legs, which had already been fully charged like compressed springs, froze all of a sudden, as if they had been tapped on acupuncture points.Yang Menglong said embarrassingly: "I... I stand a little higher, everyone can see me, the effect may be better..."

Xiao Yufang's tone did not allow for negotiation: "No!"

Discouraged, Yang Menglong put his hands on the table and shouted at everyone: "Our recruitment requirements are all written on it. There is no restriction on height, short, fat or thin, male or female, or age. As long as you have a skill, you can apply! After the interview, If you are really qualified, you can become a formal teacher of the school immediately, and enjoy an annual salary ranging from 30 to [-] taels, and it includes board and lodging! The treatment of talents in astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, etc. can even go up to Shangti, why are you still hesitating?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Be obedient, the annual salary ranges from 30 taels to [-] taels, and it also includes board and lodging!Where can I find such a good job!People with skills can't help but feel a little moved, but a few scholars snorted coldly: "A group of poor soldiers running a school is already a big joke in the world, and now they are openly bewitching with small profits in front of the public. It's really shameless!"

Yang Menglong squinted his eyes, with a displeased expression on his face: "It's another waste that you helpers can't lift shoulders or pick up! Teacher is a fairy who doesn't eat fireworks, right? They don't have to dress and eat to support their families? What's wrong with telling them about the treatment and making them think it's worth it? If you don't like it, get out of the way, who invited you here!"

The white and clean faces of those scholars who felt good about themselves suddenly swelled as red as a pig's liver: "You...you brat full of money, you are an insult to the gentleman, you are an insult to the gentleman!"

The relationship between Yang Menglong and the scholars has always been very bad, because as soon as he came to Wuyang, he had trouble with the squires who farmed and studied and passed down the family, and the relationship between the scholars and the squires... As everyone knows, if you have trouble with the squire, you have trouble with these scholars. In Daming, one can imagine the consequences of having trouble with the seeds of reading, 360-degree blackness with no dead ends!But this kid is really evil. No matter how hacky you are, you can't have any negative impact on him. There are thousands of hacky tricks at your disposal, but there is only one way for him to fight back: in just one year, the guard under his jurisdiction has Nei lived a life of food and clothing, and the fields he planted had an unheard of bumper harvest, with twenty stones of potatoes harvested per mu!
There is no way to be black.The common people only recognize money and food, and they are grateful to whoever feeds them and has some money in their pockets.Love is never unconditional.Last year, bankrupt peasant households tried their best to go to the guards to become military households. This year, with Yang Menglong's glass workshop, phosphate fertilizer workshop, wood factory, agricultural tool factory, iron factory, cement factory, and Cheng Ji's sulfuric acid factory, Factory workshops such as wineries and flour processing factories have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the labor force is concentrated in Wuyangwei at an alarming rate... Everyone knows that working in Wuyangwei's workshops or farms can provide enough food and wages, The fool continued to work as a long-term worker in the squire's village, and endured the exploitation of the squire and the whip of the dog's leg!In this way, the relationship between Yang Menglong and the scholars became even worse. Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents. He absorbed all the bankrupt farmers, and the squires could hardly find anyone to work for. Only if he can give him a good look Strange!
Scholars don't like themselves, so Yang Menglong doesn't necessarily like them, so he swears: "You bastards who waste food, get out of here as soon as possible, don't get in the way of my business, or I'll throw you to the stinking place." Go into the ditch!"

The scholars were really afraid that he would be violent, so they quickly got out of the way.A few months ago, Yang Menglong severely punished the scholar who stopped him from making sarcastic remarks. He even beat the horse away. They knew about this and were afraid that such bad luck would happen to them.They chanted "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands", but everyone despises them. These guys are really cowards, just like what Yang Menglong said, only their mouths are powerful!After such a commotion, more and more people were onlookers, but none of them came up to apply for the job.

Liu Ziyan exclaimed triumphantly: "Seven! We have recruited seven!"

Yang Menglong said angrily: "Don't be complacent! I will definitely surpass you!" He said to Xiao Yufang: "The feng shui in this place is not good, let's recruit elsewhere!"

Xiao Yufang was a little helpless: "This is already the best location, where else can I recruit?"

Yang Menglong said: "Change to a place with better feng shui, and you will definitely be able to recruit people!" He rushed all the way to Nanyang to recruit people, and it took him a long time to achieve zero breakthrough. The local feng shui is too bad.

In fact, it's not that there are no people who want to apply for the job, but it's just the first time this has happened, and everyone is a little scared, and they don't dare to be the first person.Room and board are included, and the annual salary ranges from 30 taels to [-] taels per year. Where can I find such generous treatment?But no one wants to be the one who stands out, and no one dares to apply for the job, especially in front of several talented people!Seeing Yang Menglong packing his things and leaving, everyone couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Among the crowd, a thin woman with good looks pushed her husband who was still hesitantly watching: "What are you waiting for? Go quickly!"

The husband hesitated: "Isn't this bad? No one will go..."

The woman got angry: "Can you act like a man?" Seeing that the man was still hesitant, she gritted her teeth, grabbed his hand fiercely, separated the crowd, and dragged him to Yang Menglong regardless of his struggle, and said loudly: " Master Yang, we want to teach in the school!"

Yang Menglong looked at this woman up and down, and saw that her skin was rough and her face was sallow. She didn't look like a lady who had read poetry and books, but a peasant woman who had been dealing with crops for many years.He asked curiously, "Sister, what position do you want to apply for?"

The woman pushed the man who was shaking his head forward: "It's not me, it's him! I haven't read a book, but he has studied hard for sixteen years, and he has some ink in his stomach. Can you give him a bowl? Food?"

Yang Menglong turned his attention to this 25-year-old man. He didn't even have a Confucian title. He was a typical boy!At such an advanced age, it's a failure to not even be a scholar.Those scholars obviously knew this failed guy, and they burst into laughter: "Isn't this the nerd from the Chen family? The loser who was still a child after taking exams for ten years actually wants to teach!?" Yang Menglong yelled: "You are the nerds, your whole family They are all nerds!" He looked at the boy named Chen again and asked curiously: "Tell me, why have you failed to pass the examination for so many years and are so miserable?"

Tong Sheng, surnamed Chen, looked up to the ostrich, lowering his head so much that he almost sank into the cracks in the ground: "Late students... late students are dull, and can't write good articles, so... until now, they are still children."

The peasant woman said: "He's not stupid, he just doesn't learn what he should learn, and concentrates on thinking about what he shouldn't learn. It's hell to write a good article!" Apparently she was more difficult to write an article than to give birth to a child. The husband has a lot of grievances, and his tone is so aggressive!

Yang Menglong became even more curious: "Don't learn what should be learned, and learn everything that shouldn't be learned? What have you learned that shouldn't be learned?"

Tong Sheng, surnamed Chen, stammered and said: "The late students... are only... only interested in arithmetic, and they are familiar with the ten books of the classics, but the imperial examination does not... no... do not take arithmetic, so they fail to pass the test... "

Yang Menglong became more enthusiastic: "You like to learn arithmetic? How about I test you?"

Chen Tongsheng said: "Good!"

Yang Menglong thought for a while, and came up with a question: "There are two horses. Horse A travels forty miles per hour, and horse B travels fifty miles per hour. Horses A and B set off at the same place, and horse A travels two hours first. , asked how long it will take for horse B to catch up with horse A?"

This question is really a bit of a headache for those who don't like mathematics, but Chen Tongsheng obviously couldn't pass the test. He muttered words in his mouth and moved his fingers as if he was writing something, and he quickly reported it. Correct answer.Yang Menglong felt happy and immediately came up with a quadratic equation. At this time, Chen Tongsheng was already very excited. His timid, dull and dull air was gone, and his whole person became a little fanatical. He asked Xiao Yu Fang wanted to use paper and pen to quickly calculate, review and solve the questions in one go, and gave the correct answer in less than a cup of tea.Yang Menglong asked another high school geometry question. This question was much more complicated than the catch-up problem or the quadratic equation. Everyone felt dizzy just by looking at it, but this person had been taking the exam for ten years. Even though I couldn't pass the examination to be a scholar, my eyes were filled with a heart-wrenching fanaticism. I was lying on the table writing and calculating, sometimes my pen was flying, sometimes I stopped writing and thought hard, sometimes I looked happy, sometimes I was extremely distressed.High school geometry is quite difficult. You must know that in the 21st century, China’s college entrance examination mathematics questions have stumped foreign mathematicians. This question was too difficult for the ancients hundreds of years ago.After struggling for a whole hour, there were several more people watching, and the crowd was so crowded that Chen Tongsheng finally reluctantly gave the answer, but it was wrong.He seemed to know that he had made a mistake in his calculations, but he did not show any signs of being discouraged. His eyes were fixed on the calculation problem, and he murmured to himself, mesmerized.

Yang Menglong was overjoyed and asked, "What's your name?"

Chen Tongsheng raised his head after a long while and said, "The student's surname is Chen, and his name is Suxue! Your Excellency's questions are profound and unpredictable, and he seems to have profound attainments in arithmetic. Can you accept a late student as a disciple?"

The peasant woman gritted her teeth and managed to avoid kicking him.The family is so poor that they can't open the pot, and this man who has killed a thousand people actually wants to become an apprentice and learn that damn arithmetic!What evil had she done in her previous life to marry such an enemy!

Yang Menglong said with a smile: "Chen Mathematics? Your name is quite awesome! Okay, you can even solve quadratic equations easily, which shows that you have real materials. So, you can come to our school as a teacher." I am a mathematics teacher who specializes in teaching mathematics. My monthly salary is three taels of silver, and I have one day off every six days. Food and accommodation are included. Are you satisfied with this treatment? If you are satisfied, we can sign a contract. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, You can bring it up.”

Everyone was in an uproar!Just sitting and teaching in a school that is comparable to a palace, you can get three taels of silver a month, and the board and lodging are all included. This kind of treatment is too scary!The complexions of those scholars were even more unpredictable, they must be very sour in their hearts, I hope they don't die from hyperacidity.The peasant woman, Mrs. Chen, burst into tears. Seeing that her husband was still looking at the calculation problem with a look of indifference, she couldn't help becoming anxious and shouted: "Idiot, thank you sir! Three liang of silver a month, with so much money With the money, we can live a pretty decent life!"

Chen Suxue raised his head with a confused look on his face: "Can you buy a lot of things with three taels of silver every month?"

Obviously, this man who is obsessed with mathematics has no concept of money at all, and he is completely unaware of how well-paid a job he has found. Yang Menglong feels a little sympathetic to Mrs. Chen, and wants to kick that guy hard. feet up.

He was just thinking about it, but Mrs. Chen couldn't bear it anymore, so she took action directly and kicked him hard!
