Chapter 395: Hong Chengchou
Guo Zhiyuan had long expected this situation. His way was to refuse everyone. After all, Dongfan was far from being able to achieve talent saturation at this time. Of course, these scholars were of varying quality, and he could not accept them all. Therefore, he opened a preparatory class at Dongfan Academy. It was a semester of one year. If he could persist for one year and pass the final entrance examination, he could officially become a student of Dongfan Academy. If he could not persist or failed the exam, he could only ask you to go home.
In addition, Guo Zhiyuan also built a large number of residential buildings outside Dongfan Academy, which can be rented or bought. These are all "degree houses", so the price is naturally not cheap. This is also a way for Guo Zhiyuan to make money. Guo Zhengyu was strongly opposed to this, but in the end, Guo Zhiyuan convinced him that if Dongfan Academy wants to continue to grow, he must continue to invest. Now Dongfan family has a big business and there are many places to use money. Guo Zhiyuan cannot keep "blood transfusion". Only by allowing Dongfan Academy to have the ability to make profits on its own can we achieve longer-term development.
For those poor students who have no money, Guo Zhiyuan provides them with opportunities to work and study hard and high scholarships. In short, everything depends on yourself. Dongfan will not discriminate against you because you have no money, but will never lower the threshold because of sympathy. Cheap sympathy will only make people lazy and depend on them. After all, not everyone knows how to be grateful.
Hong Chengchou and thirty Dongfan scholars who won honor for Dongfan Academy this time also received extremely high courtesy after returning to Dongfan. These thirty Dongfan scholars were the seeds sown by Guo Zhiyuan. Now that this seed has taken root and sprouted, he naturally has to pay more attention. Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan specially convened a meeting of all teachers and students of Dongfan Academy, and asked these thirty Dongfan scholars to come to the stage to preach their experience of participating in the provincial examination. He called on all Dongfan students to take them as an example and announced on the spot that the thirty Dongfan scholars would reward each with one thousand taels of silver. Hong Chengchou and three others, who won the top three, received 5,000 taels of silver, 4,000 taels of silver, and 3,000 taels of silver respectively!
To show his importance, Guo Zhiyuan also met these 30 Eastern French scholars alone after the meeting. The first person to be received was naturally Hong Chengchou. On weekdays, Guo Zhiyuan attached great importance to this "No. 1 hero of the Qing Dynasty" in history and space, and secretly paid attention to his academic status, but he had never met Hong Chengchou alone. He did not want Hong Chengchou to notice that he looked at him differently and became arrogant.
"Captain of the Mountain!" Hong Chengchou walked in and shouted excitedly. Guo Zhiyuan asked all Dongfan students not to call him an adult, but a mountain leader. This would not only make the relationship between him and these Dongfan students feel a sense of intimacy beyond the superiors and subordinates, but also establish a more majestic image in their minds. The effect is also obvious. Hong Chengchou now sees Guo Zhiyuan, he has a kind of respect and intimacy connected by blood.
Guo Zhiyuan looked at the "No. 1 hero of Kaiqing" in history and space, and felt a sense of accomplishment when he was obedient in front of him. He greeted affectionately: "Yan Yan (Hong Chengchou's name is Yan Yan) is here, sit down..."
"In front of the mountain chief, the students dare not sit, so it is better to stand and listen to the mountain chief's teachings..." Hong Chengchou saluted respectfully.
Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand and smiled, "If you let you sit, you will sit. Now that you have achieved fame and fortune, you will be an official in the future. You will be a colleague with me, so you don't have to be so restrained..."
Hong Chengchou hurriedly said: "No matter how great the student is, the chief of the mountain will always be the chief of the mountain. I will never forget the kindness of teaching..."
This is what Guo Zhiyuan wants. After his repeated requests, Hong Chengchou carefully sat half of his butt. Guo Zhiyuan continued with a smile: "Yanyan, you did a good job in the exam. This time I won the Yuan Dynasty. I will go to the capital to participate in the imperial examination and palace examination soon. If I win the Yuan Dynasty and the top scorer, I will win three yuan in a row, which is amazing!..."
Hong Chengchou quickly stood up again and said respectfully: "When you go to the capital, students should do their best to win glory for the East. If you are lucky enough to win three yuan in a row, it will be all the teachings of the mountain chief. Students will never forget it!"
Guo Zhiyuan was also deliberately beating Hong Chengchou, so he didn't get carried away. He nodded with satisfaction, pressed his hand and signaled Hong Chengchou to sit down and answer, laughing: "With your talent and knowledge, it is not uncommon to win the top scorer. However, the relationship between Dongfan and the court is delicate. I am afraid that Dongfan will miss your future at that time!..."
When Hong Chengchou heard this, he was excited and said angrily: "The court is jealous of the wise and jealous of the mountain captain, and he is suspicious of the mountain captain and regards Dongfan as a thorn in his eyes. Otherwise, with the talent of the mountain captain, he will be more than enough to be the chief minister of the current dynasty. If the mountain captain can take charge of the government affairs, why is my Ming Dynasty so much? If a student can pass the imperial examination and the palace examination, he will definitely petition the court to return to Dongfan to work, follow the mountain captain and listen to the mountain captain's teachings at all times!..."
When Guo Zhiyuan heard this, his face changed, and he put away his smile and said seriously: "No! If you take the initiative to petition the court to return to Dongfan to serve, it will not only harm you, but also make Dongfan's situation even more difficult!"
Hong Chengchou was such a smart person. He quickly understood the key points and said sadly: "If you can't go back to Dongfan and follow the mountain leader and serve the mountain leader, what's the use of students to get fame?!"
When Guo Zhiyuan heard this, he said angrily and sternly: "It's a big mistake! I built Dongfan Academy not to train you into my personal staff. Have you forgotten what the motto of the academy is? Studying for the rise of China! If you have achieved success in Dongfan Academy, you should go to a broader world and use the knowledge you have learned to help more people and influence more people, so that you can become a pillar of the country and a hope of the nation!..."
After hearing Guo Zhiyuan's words, Hong Chengchou became more and more respectful to him. He nodded with shame and said, "Captain, the student knows that he is wrong. According to the chief's opinion, where should the student go?..."
Guo Zhiyuan thought about it. The original history and space Hong Chengchou began to emerge because of his ability in office work when he was in charge of grain and politics in Shaanxi. Later, he was promoted to the governor of Shaanxi for his contribution to encirclement and suppression of peasant uprising troops. Even Li Zicheng was defeated by him. Only 18 cavalry left to escape into Shangluo Mountain. It can be seen that Shaanxi is indeed Hong Chengchou's blessed land, so he waved his hand and said, "If the court asks you about your personal wishes, you can ask yourself to be an official in Shaanxi. Where you will definitely achieve great goals and make achievements!"
Although Hong Chengchou didn't understand why Guo Zhiyuan had to let him go to Shaanxi, he stood up excitedly and said, "The student will invite him to Shaanxi at that time, and strive to achieve something in Shaanxi. He must not insult the honors of Shanzhu and Dongfan!"
