Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path
Chapter 388 Negotiations
Chu Zhangyang looked at Li Chunxiu with a sneer and said, "Grandma is joking, my elder sister is a respectable young lady of the Chu family, and it would be too condescending to prove it in public for the sake of a maid?"
"Could it be possible that any cat or dog will pop out from anywhere in the future, and my sister will have to prove herself?!"
Chu Zhangyang was able to be admitted to the world's first-class Yushan Academy by virtue of his own strength, so he naturally had some ability.
Although he is not the opponent of Chu Zhuang, it is still easy for him to deal with Li Chunxiu, a back house woman.
"Still, grandma thinks that what I say is probably not as good as that girl's words?" Chu Zhangyang narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Chunxiu suspiciously and asked.
"Young Master Chu is right! Elder sister of the Chu family is Young Master Chu's biological elder sister, how can there be a younger brother who doesn't know her biological elder sister!"
At that moment, a lady who admired Chu Zhangyang jumped out to speak for him.
"This lady is beautiful and intelligent, and she hits the nail on the head!"
Chu Zhangyang bowed his hands to the young lady.
"Young master Chu, don't worry, I will definitely not let people slander the elder sister of the Chu family!" The young lady blushed when she saw Chu Zhangyang looking at her.
"Yes! This man is completely nonsense!"
"Could it be possible that a maid will jump out and question our identities in the future, and we also have to prove ourselves?"
"Young Master Chu has said so, so of course you can't fake it!"
Seeing this, the rest of the people were not willing to let this one person steal the limelight, and they all spoke in agreement.
Right now, almost everyone turned to Chu Zhangyang's side.
If Li Chunxiu opened his mouth to question again, he might appear to have ulterior motives.
Even though she was unwilling, Li Chunxiu could only endure it.
"Madam..." Miao Yun carefully supported Li Chunxiu to sit down.
"Go, take Chu Yingya away!" Li Chunxiu whispered, her voice full of anxiety.
Chu Yingya would know after a little inquiring that this matter was planned by her behind the scenes.
If this matter was brought to Sima Xian's face, and he knew that she deliberately designed it to make the Chu family and the Sima family lose face, Sima Xian would definitely divorce his wife according to his temperament!
She has long lost feelings for Sima Xian, but she is not afraid of going down.
But without her to take care of him, Sima Lang, a fool in this mansion, would be gnawed to the ground by Jiang Xinyan and the others, not even bones left!
Therefore, the handle of Chu Yingya must not fall into their hands!
Seeing the panic on Li Chunxiu's face, Miao Yun knew the seriousness of the matter, and left quietly while no one was paying attention.
Chu Zhangyang didn't care about Li Chunxiu's side, today's matter was big or small, he had to be appeased, so as not to let the Chu family and his own reputation be damaged.
"It really made everyone laugh when something like this happened today."
Chu Zhangyang apologized to the guests. Even though Jiang Xinyan was still suspicious, she would not question Chu Zhangyang in front of everyone. She cleaned up the mess with him, comforted the guests, and sent them away in person.
Looking at the empty back garden, Li Chunxiu let out a cold snort, flung his sleeves and left directly.
Xia Liu looked at Li Chunxiu's leaving back in the distance, squinted her eyes, and a trace of cruelty flashed across her eyes.
Needless to say, I also know that Li Chunxiu did all these things today!
Xia Liu and Chu Zhangyang looked at each other, and Chu Zhangyang glanced at Jiang Xinyan at the side.
The matter of Li Chunxiu can be discussed later, Jiang Xinyan is obviously suspicious, the most urgent thing is to stabilize Jiang Xinyan first!
……
"Mr. Xiao Guo, this really won't work! Thirty percent is too low!"
He Dazhuang looked at Guo Wen with a bitter smile, and persuaded them earnestly: "This is against the rules! If we say this, we will be stabbed in the back!"
These days, how can a master teach an apprentice to only take [-]% of the profit?
Not all apprentices have to serve the master for many years before they can learn a little bit of skill.
If you meet a good master who is willing to teach you skills, don't say take away all the profits of five or even ten years, the apprentice is also very willing.
But Chu Zhuang only received [-]% of the income, and it was only charged for three years, rounded up, to He Dazhuang and the others, it was equivalent to giving them free money.
But it is not without reason that Chu Zhuang did this.
Carbon is very expensive these days, ordinary people can't afford to burn it, and they can only suffer from the cold in winter, and it's not uncommon for people to freeze to death these days.
But the kang only needs a little firewood. Even poor people only need to go to the mountain to cut some firewood, and they can spend the winter warmly.
If this technology can be popularized by He Dazhuang and the others, that would be considered a good thing.
Chu Zhuang's people who want to make money usually focus on those big households, and he doesn't dare to be interested in these things that make people's money.
Chu Zhuang originally didn't plan to take money from He Dazhuang and the others, but if he didn't accept it, He Dazhuang and the others might not dare to do this business, so they took a little symbolically.
"Brother Chu said that [-]% is [-]%, no more!"
Guo Wen said categorically that he didn't give He Dazhuang any room for maneuver.
"Yeah! Only [-]% is charged, no more!" Ono and the others nodded in agreement, refusing to give in at all.
They don't care about rules or irregularities. This is the task Chu Zhuang entrusted to them, so they must complete it perfectly!
Not to mention that He Dazhuang wanted to pay [-]% more, even if it was just a copper coin, they would not take more!
"You see, the construction of the academy cost so much money, and Mr. Chu has to support such a large group of people like you. Wouldn't the pressure be great? Although the profit of this kang is not much, Mr. Chu should pay more. For him, Isn't it good to you all!" He Dazhuang exerted all his strength to deal with Guo Wen and the others.
"Brother Chu said that after the establishment of the academy, students will receive income. When we become teachers, we will be able to receive wages to support ourselves, and we won't put any pressure on Brother Chu!" Guo Wen said with a serious face.
The academy opened by Chuzhuang is not a charitable academy to the outside world. If you want to come to school, you have to pay the tuition.
Relying on the tuition fees of the students, it is not difficult to maintain the operation of an academy.
And Chu Zhuang also said that except for the four of them, Guo Wen, other children, as long as they have the ability to pass the teacher qualification examination, can take up posts to lead students to teach, and they can earn wages to support themselves.
Right now, these little guys are all high-spirited and want to become teachers like Guo Wen and the others.
As long as they grow up, they can support themselves according to their ability, and there is no need to add pressure to Chu Zhuang.
He Dazhuang couldn't shake Guo Wen and the others even if he dried up his saliva, and he was very helpless about it.
This was probably the most bizarre and helpless negotiation he had ever had in his life.
However, He Dazhuang was also reluctant to give up the business of Pan Kang.
Gritting his teeth, he still decided to agree to Guo Wen and the others with the cheek, but he was thinking about how to find a chance to repay them in the future.
"By the way, you can't delay the construction of the academy."
Guo Wen and He Dazhuang had a good discussion and completed the task assigned by Chu Zhuang. He was relieved, and at the same time he did not forget to ask He Dazhuang.
Chu Zhuang didn't want He Dazhuang and the others to run away without the academy being completed.
"Master Chu, don't worry about this, we will definitely build the academy first and then get busy with business!" He Dazhuang immediately assured.
Not to mention that they themselves plan to send their children to the academy, and there are still many people in Yongjian Alley waiting to send their children here!
If they ran away without building the academy, they would be poked in the back!
As for Chu Zhuang letting children like Guo Wen be teachers, He Dazhuang and the others have no objection at all.
These people are the bottom of the society, and they have never expected their children to be admitted to the imperial examination and become officials. They only hope that they can read and count, and they can be an accountant in the future, and they don't have to work hard like them to be satisfied.
As for the abilities of Guo Wen and the others, they have also experienced it during this time.
Although these little guys are small, they dare not underestimate them.
The construction of the academy requires the purchase of a large amount of materials, and the material merchants deliver the goods to the door to settle the wages, but Guo Wen and the others are responsible for paying the money.
At first, these people saw that Guo Wen and the others were young, so they wanted to fool them and calculated more money on purpose. Although He Dazhuang and the others were able to check the quality of the materials, they really didn't understand the calculation, especially when the amount was so large. If they want to cheat, they can't guard against it.
But Guo Wen and the others made clear calculations with the other party face to face, leaving no chance for the other party to cheat!
From here on, those people no longer dared to play such small thoughts, and settled accounts honestly, that's it, and they missed it several times, and Guo Wen and the others pointed it out every time.
The material merchant wanted to poach Guo Wen and the others more than once to become accountants, and the wages were as high as five silver coins a month!
It was just rejected by Guo Wen and the others without hesitation.
He Dazhuang didn't expect his kid to be as good as Guo Wen and others, but even if he only learned one-tenth of Guo Wen's, then he would be enough to find a decent job to support himself in this life.
"Then we won't bother you, Brother He, let's go first."
Several people discussed it, and Guo Wen and the others did not stay long, so they left.
He Dazhuang personally sent the person away, and then turned his head to discuss with the brothers.
"Thirty percent is really too little, we feel uneasy." Someone looked at He Dazhuang and said with shame.
"Since Mr. Chu is so persistent, let's do this."
He Dazhuang sighed and said: "But don't forget Mr. Chu's kindness, keep it in your heart, if we don't pay back, aren't we still the next generation?"
For the people present, this matter of imparting skills is like a mentor, comparable to parents.
It's just that they are embarrassed to worship Chu Zhuang as their teacher, so they can only keep this kindness in their hearts.
"Tomorrow, we will start looking for people. We will find those who are safe to do things in our family. We will build the academy well first, and then we will start to work on the kang." He Dazhuang looked at the crowd and said.
There are only about [-] people in their group, if they are the only ones who can do it, they can't do much at all.
And to find someone, naturally the priority is to find someone from your own family. If you know the basics, you can rest assured.
"Could it be possible that any cat or dog will pop out from anywhere in the future, and my sister will have to prove herself?!"
Chu Zhangyang was able to be admitted to the world's first-class Yushan Academy by virtue of his own strength, so he naturally had some ability.
