Chapter 139
Hearing such a condition, Jiang Yuanxi let out a soft "Oh", "The Gu family went to great lengths to train so many literate children just to let them work as shop assistants in the Gu family's shop? Gu Sanniang seems to have taken a stupid move."

Li Zhongwen chuckled, "Who knows what that Gu Cai girl thinks, maybe she has a deep meaning."

Not only Jiang Yuanxi couldn't figure it out, Gu Yidan's decision, even the Gu family couldn't figure it out, if it wasn't for Gu Yidan's previous two new ideas that brought back a golden hen for the Gu family, the owner of the Gu family would definitely I won't promise to let her mess around.

The head of the Gu family is thinking that now the Gu family has already set up Weisheng Wang Chen Dynasty, and the person who is in contact with Weisheng Wang is Gu Sanniang. When Gu Sanniang proposed this compulsory education this time, she once hinted at him, It was King Weisheng who supported him behind the scenes, so Patriarch Gu reluctantly agreed to Gu Yidan's proposal. Otherwise, letting a merchant take money out of his pocket to do such a thing that does not earn a penny would be like cutting a knife on him. .

The compulsory education run by the Gu family this time can only be paid out of the Gu family's money, and the money given to King Weisheng cannot be missed. The Gu family may earn a lot less money for a long time to come.

Several masters of the Gu family clamored to disagree, and were suppressed by the head of the Gu family. After the protest was fruitless, even Gu Yidan's own father, the eldest master Gu, also treated Gu Yidan's nose as a nose, and his eyes as eyes.

Gu Yidan didn't feel a bit sad about this. She has been here for more than half a year, and she has never felt a little bit of family affection from the Gu family. Even the Gu family who relies heavily on her is only because of her money-making ideas , so I only value her.

After she saw it clearly, she discarded any regrets and began to act in her own interests.

Anyway, this time the Gu family started compulsory education, and the money they used came from the two places of Hengyuanxiang and the spice shop. These two places were earned by herself and had nothing to do with the other businesses of the Gu family, so Gu Yidan didn't bother to look at other people. Blind beep.

Gu Yidan was not interested in answering other people's doubts, but the counselor beside her asked Gu Yidan to explain it once.

"Mr. Chang, do you not understand what I mean by doing this?" Gu Yidan was sitting in the corridor at this time, sitting opposite Chang Mingyi. Plates full of meat and vegetables, and sauces made of spices that have been popular in the capital lately.

At this moment, what the two of them were sitting on was not a futon, but a short low stool with armrests on both sides of the stool. In order to make the sitting people comfortable, the table was also much higher.

Gu Yidan didn't sit squatting at this time, but sat on the low stool with his legs crossed. Seeing that Chang Mingyi was sitting firmly, he smiled, "I never imagined that Mr. Chang is also used to sitting on this small low stool."

Chang Mingyi also laughed, "It's a novelty to look at, sitting like this is more comfortable than sitting."

Gu Yidan smiled complacently, "I always thought that sitting squatting would easily turn my thighs into radish legs, and I don't know how those little ladies can stand it. But this little stool won't, at least it won't turn their thighs into carrot legs. Carrot legs."

Gu Yidan shook her head, and complained a little, seeing that Chang Mingyi's brows did not move, she knew that for a man, he would never understand the importance of beauty, and she had buried it in her heart for too long, so she couldn't help but be a little Judged.

"Mr. Chang, look, in fact, try some things, change them, maybe you will get better results." Gu Yidan said with a light smile.

Chang Mingyi pondered and asked: "But I can't see any benefits in the compulsory education you proposed this time. You know, when you become an official, you have to be recommended."

The Gu family is a family of merchants. Although they won a low-level title by the late emperor, that’s all. No one in the Gu family has a foothold in the imperial court, so it is difficult for those who study in the Yucai Academy run by the Gu family to get a recommendation After all, most of the referrals are in the hands of the aristocratic family. The Gu family spends so much money, but in the end they get nothing. Why do such a thankless thing?

This Gu Sanniang, in his observations so far, has not found anything superior, if making money is considered superior.

For the time being, she didn't see the vigor, strategy, and courage of the hero, and Chang Mingyi wanted to meet that Jiang Wu lady even more urgently.

Especially after Ziweizhen stayed away from Xuexiangyunwei's path, he stopped moving, which made him even more suspicious.

Gu Yidan smiled mysteriously, "Mr. Chang, do you think the current method of selecting officials in the court is suitable?"

Chang Mingyi's eyes flashed, "Since ancient times, officials have been selected in this way. What is appropriate or not? This selection method has run through several dynasties, and there is nothing wrong with it."

"Wrong?" Gu Yidan shook his head, "The structure of the court is becoming more and more bloated, because most of the nominations are in the hands of the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family uses this to cultivate their own children. It's getting heavier and heavier, but the talented common people don't have a bright future, and if things go on like this, the dynasty will eventually be dragged down by the big monster of the aristocratic family."

Chang Mingyi looked at Gu Yidan differently now, her insight was beyond his expectation, few people could have such insights, Chang Mingyi obeyed his teacher's order to assist the Son of Destiny, in order not to let himself fall behind the Son of Destiny He did not think of this before, but as soon as Gu Yidan brought it up, he immediately understood that what Gu Yidan said was right.

As far as Chang Mingyi is concerned, he has no particular dislike for the aristocratic family, nor does he have a favorable opinion. Strictly speaking, if he had to choose, between the aristocratic family and the common people, he would choose to stand on the side of the common people.

But in today's world, the aristocratic family controls most of the power in the court. Even if it supports many poor families today, it still cannot compare to the raging fire of the aristocratic family.

At the same time, Chang Mingyi also had to admit that most of the sons of the noble family cultivated by the noble family are better than the younger generation of the poor family in terms of ability, and their knowledge is longer than the younger generation of the poor family. For those poor families who were promoted, I am afraid that Beiliang would have already fallen apart.

Even now, didn't he follow his teacher's order to be born?Looking at the behavior of those poor children who were promoted today, every time they harmed the people of a place, they almost couldn't survive, and then asked the sons of the aristocratic family to rush to the rescue.

It's not that Chang Mingyi looks down on children from poor families, but objectively speaking, no matter in terms of knowledge, manners or conduct, they are much better than children from poor families.

This is the heritage that has been preserved from generation to generation, and it is incomparable to children from poor families.

So Chang Mingyi's response to what Gu Yidan said was: "Third lady, even if it is true as you said, so what? In this world, you still have to be recommended to be an official."

Gu Yidan smiled mysteriously, "It's simple, just change the method of selecting officials."

　Good morning, have you received any presents today?
