Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 112 Absolutely No Prostitution
Seeing Li Wang's bear-like figure hopping away with the three enlightenment classics in his arms, Guo An patted the back of his head helplessly, feeling a little irritable.

"Thinking of myself as an upright gentleman, I learned to say things against my will in order to encourage people to study. Alas, the crime is heinous!"

"Ugh!"

With a helpless sigh, Guo An was going to go back to the public house to repent quietly.

However, as soon as he turned around, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"what?"

Guo An was taken aback, "Your Highness, why did you appear so quietly?"

Zhu Di squinted his eyes, and looked up and down Guo An carefully, with an aura of disdain all over his body.

"You unscrupulous thief officer, we are a good guard of Baihu, and we were deceived by your nonsense words!

He even rushed into people's homes in the middle of the night, tied an old master home, and forced them to teach him how to read and write! "

Guo An was startled, "Li Baihu can still do such a reckless thing?"

"Hmph, I'm not ashamed to tell that old master that he, Li Wang, has the face of a prime minister. Even if it can't be realized in him, his son will definitely be a literary minister. The old master must teach him to read and write. I didn't pass out the old master!" Zhu Di said angrily.

Guo An immediately said: "Your Highness, Li Baihu is so reckless, His Highness must teach him a lesson, otherwise, if this continues, the guard general will follow suit, and the old masters in the Beiping Mansion will be harmed. "

Zhu Di immediately regained his composure, looked straight at Guo An, and said: "We are also worried that these bastards will go out to harm the old masters in the city, so we are going to set up a school in the palace to teach those generals to read and write. "

"Your Highness is wise, this is a great thing!" Guo An praised quickly.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Guo An felt something was wrong, and Zhu Di was watching him quietly.

"Your Highness, I still have important things to do, so I will leave first!"

Guo An hurriedly cupped his hands towards Zhu Di, and was about to run away.

Zhu Di's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "Stop!"

"Your Highness?"

Guo An turned around slowly, with a puzzled look on his face.

Zhu Di was in a hurry, "We just asked you to take the time to talk to those generals, why are you running?"

"Your Highness, I didn't run away!" Guo An quickly laughed.

"Your Highness, I haven't read many Confucian classics, and I can't fight back. If I can't answer the questions of those generals, the generals will get angry, and I won't resist beating!"

Guo An quickly said with a bitter face.

Zhu Di stared wide-eyed and asked, "Guo Qing is the right-hand official of Yan Palace, which bastard would dare to beat Shangguan?"

"This..." Guo An looked helpless.

"What else can you say?" Zhu Di asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the humble minister is going to give lectures, can he be regarded as a master?"

After thinking for a moment, Guo An asked.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Sure!"

Guo An asked again: "What is the salary of the humble minister's wife?"

"The wife's salary?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened directly, a little in disbelief.

"We are a majestic king of Yan, please, You Changshi, to give lectures to the generals in the mansion, do you still want a salary?"

"Your Highness, you are being unreasonable. Have you ever seen a master who doesn't want a salary?"

Guo An looked aggrieved, "My master teaches people how to read and write, and what you teach is the knowledge in your belly.

If His Highness doesn't want to give salary, doesn't it mean that he wants to prostitute for free, and he still calls a bunch of generals in the mansion to prostitute for free? "

Zhu Di's eyelids twitched. Although it was the first time he heard the words of prostitutes, he had been to the land of flowers and willows anyway. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what Guo An meant.

However, it was precisely when he understood that Zhu Di realized that he still hadn't really seen the blackness and shamelessness of his right long history.

"We all wonder if you are a child of Confucianism, and you confuse such a sacred thing as teaching people to read and write with that dirty thing?"

"Your Highness, the humble minister is just an example!"

Guo An curled his lips helplessly, "Who asked His Highness to do something that is too similar to what I said."

Zhu Di didn't want to argue with Guo An anymore, and said directly: "One tael of silver every month!"

He was afraid to continue talking with this bastard Chang Shi in front of him. If this word got out, even if he was the King of Yan, he would be condemned by all scholars and great Confucians in the world!
"Your Highness, a famous teacher is not cheap, and cheap is not a famous teacher!" Guo An said.

Zhu Di glared at Guo An, and said again: "Two taels of silver!"

Guo An opened his mouth, wanting to make another bid.

It's a pity that Zhu Di has already deeply realized how thick-skinned Guo Changshi is, and said directly again: "We just let you give lectures to those generals in the past when you are free. Two taels of silver is already the highest.

Even for Zhu Fu, we only gave him a salary of two taels! "

Guo An's eyes widened, "Your Highness actually gave Zhu Changshi a salary?"

Zhu Di sneered and said: "Why, you are allowed to ask for salary from us, but not others?"

"Your Highness misunderstood, I am just a pity, Zhu Changshi's situation is small, with Zhu Changshi's status, five taels of salary is not too much!"

As he said that, Guo An looked regretful, and said tut-tsk.

"Now, Your Highness has found a great deal!"

As soon as Zhu Di's face changed, he asked Guo An, "You have other important things to do, why are you still standing here?"

"Forehead!"

Guo An didn't expect Zhu Di to change his face so quickly, and slightly arched his hands towards Zhu Di, "I will leave!"

……

Seeing Guo An leave, Zhu Di smiled triumphantly, turned around and walked into the hall.

In the main hall, Changshi Zhu Fu and Monk Daoyan were quietly waiting for Zhu Di.

Following Zhu Di's entry, the two quickly greeted each other.

"Zhu Qing, mage, we are planning to build a school in the mansion to teach those generals and some good scholars in the mansion to read and write..."

"Your Highness is wise!"

Unlike Guo An, Zhu Fu and Dao Yan naturally did not object or evade Zhu Di's decision.

As for the master who taught the military generals and the servants of the family to read and write, there are a lot of erudite civil servants under the chief secretary.

In addition, although Monk Daoyan is a monk, he is also proficient in Confucianism, and has friendship with some great Confucians of Confucianism.

Therefore, it is also possible to find many Confucian children who have no official career to give lectures to the generals and servants in the mansion.

Zhu Di has always acted swiftly and resolutely. Once he made a decision, he immediately arranged for Zhu Fu to implement it.

Therefore, less than two days.

The outer court of King Yan Palace, in a palace not far from the Changshi Division, was officially renamed the School.

The tables, chairs and benches were ready in less than a day.

As for the students in the school, they are even more readily available.

On the first day, the school was crowded with a group of burly military generals and a group of pale-faced and emaciated servants.

However, there is Zhu Di, King of Yan, in the school, even if all the big bosses in the school are eager to scratch their mouths and cheeks, no one dares to stand up and stab them, and even speak softly.

Watching Guo An laugh for a while, I am afraid that they have never been so gentle even when facing their mothers-in-law.

After lying outside and watching for a while, Guo An left quietly.

It’s all the same model, the leader goes up to give speeches, paint cakes, and threaten them a little bit, so that you can read and read well, and you can have the opportunity to be a civil servant if you don’t study well, Zhu Di will take good care of you you!
So, at the very beginning, all the generals read and chatted with the new masters with eyes full of novelty.

However, after a few days.

A group of generals really experienced the pain of reading and literacy.

You can't read it, you can't learn it!
Soon, a group of military generals either made various excuses for not coming, or they were looking for trouble in the school.

……

In Changshi's office, Guo An was wandering outside, and Xiao Nei's servant Ma He walked in and reported in a soft voice.

"Guo Changshi, Your Highness has ordered, no matter what, it's your turn to go to the school to give lectures today!"

"what?"

Guo An was taken aback, "Your Highness doesn't say anything, can I go to give lectures when I have time?"

Ma He's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to smile apologetically: "Your Highness said, it has been seven or eight days since the school was opened, and you have never been there once, while Zhu Changshi has been there twice!"

"Obviously only five days have passed." Guo An remained motionless.

Ma He whispered again: "Your Highness also said that if you don't go, your salary will be deducted!"

"How can your Highness do this?"

Now, Guo An couldn't bear it anymore and stood up directly.

"Ma He, how did you feel when His Highness sent you here?"

Ma He smiled wryly and said, "Zhu Changshi, you also know that these few times Zhu Baihu, Xu Baihu and others went to sea to catch less and less fish.

In addition, the literacy progress of the generals in the school these days is not going very smoothly..."

"Okay, okay, isn't it just a lecture, let's go there now."

Guo An nodded and said.

"Thank you Guo Changshi for being considerate of the villain!" Ma He said gratefully.

"It's just you, kid, Jiling!"

Guo An chuckled and walked out.

Through these few days of contact, he found that the horse and the little servant are really smart, and they are also very eager to learn.

The school is transformed from a particularly large side hall, and there are more than 60 desks in it.

However, after Guo An came in, the hall was only half full.

There were a dozen or so small eunuchs in the house, and the rest were a group of generals like black bears.

Although the status of eunuchs is low, neither civil servants nor generals look down on them.However, those who can come to the school are all the favored eunuchs around Zhu Di, and these generals will not provoke him for no reason.

Therefore, this school is weird and somewhat harmonious.

"Everyone, is everyone here?"

It was the first time to give lectures, and Guo An was still a little uncomfortable.

In particular, there is no step under your feet, no desk in front of you, and no blackboard behind you.

"Hey, Guo Changshi, the only ones who can come to the school today are people like me!"

A burly man with five big and three thick chuckled.

"It's good to be here!"

Guo An nodded slightly, looked around, pointed at the two generals in front of him and said, "Please also ask the two generals to move this table for us!"

"Move the table?"

The two generals were taken aback.

"Exactly!" Guo An nodded.

"Guo Changshi, what are you doing moving the table?" the general asked curiously.

Guo An asked: "Why, you are allowed to sit and listen to reading like this, but we, the master, are not allowed to sit and give lectures to you?"

"So that's it, let's move it to Guo Changshi!"

The general who spoke was not annoyed, he got up directly, put a table in one hand and a chair in the other, and put them in front of Guo An.

Guo An nodded in satisfaction and sat down directly.

"Who has extra classics, which book will the official tell you today?"

"..."

All the servants and generals in the school stared at Guo An in bewilderment.

"Guo Changshi, you give lectures, how can you ask me for classics?" another general asked.

"It's you who came to the school to listen to my lectures, and you don't provide books, so you can understand the books I took?" Guo An asked back.

"is also like this!"

Some generals nodded slowly.

"Guo Changshi, use the classics of the last general!"

At this time, Li Wang, who was hiding at the end, slowly took out a book, walked up, and handed it to Guo An.

"Xing Li Zi Xun."

Guo An glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Li Baihu is still the best at reading, this kind of book is the most suitable for you."

Li Wang blushed with embarrassment.

"I also ask Guo Changshi to laugh at the junior general. The latter already knows that this book is the simplest enlightenment book, and it is the book that children only read when they are enlightened!"

"Tsk!"

Guo An smiled slowly, "Aren't you just starting enlightenment? If you don't read these enlightenment books, what else do you want to read?"

"Guo Changshi, I'm waiting for all the old and rough, how can I read these books that children only read?"

"Exactly, Guo Changshi, if I want to read it, I should also read the classics that serious scholars read, right?"

"That's right, Guo Changshi, don't lie to me, we have all found out that those scholars all studied and studied these Confucian classics..."

Guo An laughed loudly, "You and a group of military generals, why do you want to read the Four Books and Five Classics read by talented scholars, but you are preparing to abandon martial arts and follow literature, and prepare to take the imperial examination?"

"Guo Changshi, can I really wait?"

A general asked stupidly.

"Of course!"

Guo An nodded with a smile, and said: "I don't know who this general is. See the Wanping County Children's Examination in February!"

"Hey, the general knows his mistakes, please don't blame Guo Changshi, just because the general is a general who doesn't know a lot of characters, what should we do!"

The military commander hastily smiled apologetically.

He still can't hear it now, this Guo Changshi is making fun of him.

"It seems that you all know that you have a few big characters in your belly, and you still want to take the imperial examination!"

Guo An sneered fiercely, his face became serious, and he said.

"This time, His Royal Highness King Yan felt that the generals and servants in the palace are not very literate. In the future, they will meet some black-hearted and shameless villains, and they are afraid that you will be deceived and suffer a great loss, so he purposely built such a school.

Because these students are either servants or generals, Your Highness does not expect you to take part in the imperial examination and become civil servants..."

What Guo An said was very down-to-earth, and all the generals could understand it.
