The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 201 The City Is Full of Advertisements
Baoyu and the others were in awe of Jia Min, not only because they were repeatedly defeated by Jia Min in the past, but also because of the psychological shadow left on them by this military training.

Compared with being locked in a cage and not being given food, the usual harsh and perverted time of queuing and making quilts is the most difficult.

Being locked up in a cage is a punishment, but the time is limited. If you don’t eat, it will pass if you stand up.The problem is the usual demanding ones.You have to keep your spirits up at all times, otherwise, you may commit a violation at any time.

Therefore, you have to repeat a very boring action many times.Bored, you feel that life is better than death.

Thinking about it now, they are often afraid.

Another important reason is that although some of them are no longer in the barracks, they still belong to the government corps in name.In other words, Jia Min is still their chief.If Jia Min is willing to tell them to go back, they have to go back to the barracks obediently.

Naturally, they don't want to be soldiers of this government, but military training is the emperor's will, if they don't make a name, they will be investigated in the future, and they will be evading military service.As long as Jia Min twisted his mouth and said they deserted, it was enough for them to drink a pot.

Fortunately, Jia Min ignored them this time.Not even lectures.Only Fang Xiucai announced the three disciplines.

The first rule is to abide by the work and rest time, and no absenteeism, lateness, or withdrawal is allowed.

The second article, the second article, prohibits the wind of Longyang.

Article [-], after one month, the exam will be held.

After Fang Xiucai finished speaking, several people went out.He walked from house to house in the yard, pointing, and left after a short time.

Seeing Jia Min and the others leave, Baoyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, today, the fourth son Min didn't come for him.Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be unlucky again.

Although disciplines have been announced, these disciplines also existed before.I have never seen it implemented seriously.Jia Dairu also often had to take exams, but every time he failed, he didn't see any punishment.

So, a few people didn't take it seriously.Xindao: You have so many things to do in a day, how can you have time to take care of us?

Originally planned to go to the city to play in a short while, and had already made an appointment with Liu Xianglian and Jiang Yuhan, so Xue Pan went to the door to look around, and seeing that Jia Min had indeed left, they packed up the desks and looked outside. go.

When he reached the door, he was stopped.

This person is a servant of the Rongguo Mansion, and it seems that he was transferred from Zhuangzi not long ago.He is as tall as an iron tower, with a beard all over his face.

There was a sign on his chest with two words: "Security".

"Masters, where do you want to go?"

"Who are you, you dare to stop us? Don't you know who we are?"

Jia Huan was the first to speak.

In the past, when entering and leaving the school gate, no one stopped him, let alone questioned by security guards.Besides, what is this security guard?

"My name is Zhao Changdong, and I am the security guard sent by Fourth Master Min. Here is the appointment of Fourth Master Min."

Zhao Changdong pointed to the wall, and sure enough, there was a piece of paper pasted on the wall, which read: Zhao Changdong is hereby appointed as the ethnology security guard.Below is Jia Min's signature, depending on the date, it is today.

"A few of us are going out for a trip."

"Fourth Master Min has something to say, no one is allowed to go out until school time."

"Others are not allowed to go out, but we are allowed. Do you know who we are?"

Xue Pan wanted to scare Zhao Changdong.

"I know, Fourth Master Min specifically told you that no one can do it, especially you guys. If you really want to go out, just sign here and leave evidence. But, let me tell you, Fourth Master Min said Yes, he will come to investigate in the future."

"I don't want to sign and want to go out, what can you do?"

Jia Huan was still not convinced.

"I can't do anything about it, that is, beat you all back. If you don't accept it, try it."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, although some did not believe that a servant dared to beat them, but this person was appointed by Min Laosi, presumably that Min Lao Si was backing him.In the end, he was still afraid that Jia Min would settle accounts with them later, so he returned it.

Although they didn't dare to go out, they didn't want to study after all, so they wandered around the yard boredly, talking nonsense, or laughing at those students who were studying in the house.

After a while, I saw more than a dozen people and began to move things into the yard.They are all tables, chairs, benches, beds and so on.In the yard next door, there were also loud voices.

Looking at the wall, more than a dozen people began to move things inside, including tables, chairs, and some household utensils.After a while, a carriage came in and began to unload things. They recognized this thing as a popcorn machine.

Several other people began to dig a ditch in the yard, put the logs in the ditch, and erected the sticks.It looks like digging ditches is to divide the yard.

After a while, the courtyard was finished, and I went to the ethnology courtyard to set up sticks.A line was drawn to separate the ethnology classroom from other rooms.

If a stick is erected, it will become a separate yard, which is much smaller than before.

Finally, two more people brought in an object.Everyone in Baoyu was familiar with this object.They all dealt with it when they were in the Yeduju barracks.

As soon as they saw this thing, Baoyu and the others went back to the house to study while cursing "this goddamn fourth son".

This thing is the iron cage, which is exactly the same as the iron cage they squatted in Yeduju.

three days later.

When the residents of the imperial capital woke up and went to the street, they saw the walls of the streets and alleys covered with advertisements.

These advertisements are different from those of some merchants.

Most of the advertisements of those merchants are a piece of paper with a few words written on it, such as "Sun's grocery store is new in Dayan", "Shenglong car dealership is out of exchange" and so on.

Not just one or two sentences, some words are crooked.It seems that if you write one more word, you can lose a lot of money.

These ads are quite different.Not only are there many words, but there are also pictures on it.The content is even more surprising.

It turned out that they were teaching crafts, as long as you pay some money, you can learn a craft.

This is really a new thing.

It turns out that to learn crafts, apart from passing on from one's ancestors, one has to learn from a teacher.No matter what it is, you can't learn it in one or two years, or two or three years.Some even have to study for five or six years.

During these years of apprenticeship, not only do you have to pay the master an apprenticeship fee at the beginning, but also work for the master for free for a few years.

Now it only takes a few days to learn a craft.Although you have to pay a sum of money, you don't have to work for the master.This saved years of time.

In the past few years, it can be used to make money.

Even the accounts are calculated clearly for you, how much is the capital, how much is the profit, and how long will it take to earn the money back, so that people can see it at a glance.

What else is there for on-site training, market practice, food and housing included, household items provided, education and meetings included, not in one session, free in the next session, until you learn it....

In short, as long as you pay the money, you are called to make money.

Many people are illiterate, but there are always those who can.So those who could read were surrounded by people, repeating and explaining repeatedly.

When these people got on the bus, they also saw these advertisements on the body of the bus.The advertisements are all printed in the study room, with words and pictures, and they are still colored.

Not only on the car body, but also in every car, free access.

This is an era when many people want to make money, but have no way.This is an age when many people want to learn the craft, but there is nowhere to learn it.

Now, after paying a few dollars, you can learn the skills and have a way to make money.

is this real?
However, looking at the inscription below, it turns out that Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion are free schools.That reason is also upright, it is a kind deed performed by the two governments to repay the emperor's kindness.It is a righteous deed to save the poor and enrich the people and strengthen the country.

It turned out to be Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. Isn't that the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion that are four kings and eight kilometers away?Two dukes' mansions, how can there be fake ones?

Didn't it say so in the ad?Can I go to Jiafu Free School and Jiafu Supermarkets to consult and sign up?Go, go there and ask.

Many people rushed to various Jiafu supermarkets and Jiafu ethnology schools in the city after seeing the advertisement.

They thought they reacted quickly and came early enough.However, many people reacted faster and came earlier than them.

When they arrived, these places were already crowded with people.

Outside Chongwenmen, the gate of Jiafu Supermarket is very lively today.

A few tables were placed in front of the door, and recruitment advertisements were pasted everywhere on the surrounding walls.People were discussing while watching the advertisement, and there were more people consulting in front of the table.

Some asked for themselves, and some asked for their relatives.Some asked this and asked that and were worried, and some signed up directly.There are even some impatient ones who have to pay on the spot.

There are a total of four training programs launched this time.They are popcorn, tofu, carpenter and blacksmith.

The latter three are all traditional crafts, and almost everyone knows them well.But it was not easy to learn in the past.Now Jia's mansion has taught these skills, which is a great thing.

People in the imperial capital are no strangers to popcorn.Almost every day, people can hear that banging sound in the street.As long as they hear this voice, many people will take some food from their homes, pay a little silver, and finally get back a big bag of delicious popcorn.

Then, people chat while eating popcorn.If the children can't stay still, they will take some with them and go crazy in the yard and in the streets and alleys.

If I learn these skills, will I also make money like others?Even if I quit, asking my relatives to do it seems to be a good thing.

Everyone has almost the same thoughts, and they all want to answer their doubts through more detailed inquiries.
