Chapter 325 Hiring a Teacher is Difficult

Ye Changqin nodded, "Yes, old ancestor, I will find a son who has signed a death contract to make these things. It will definitely not be passed on."

Then Ye Changqin said with a smile, "Ancestor, these things are great. As long as they are made, they will definitely earn a lot of money for the Ye family."

Zhang Xu nodded, and then talked about the appearance of the toothbrush, the general method, and the materials used, "I finished the toothbrush, and sent me a few first. Willow branches are too difficult to use."

"It's the ancestor."

Then, the two went to the front yard.

Sure enough, forty young people in their teens to their 20s were seen in the front yard.

Both men and women.

After Zhang Xu checked the talents of these people, 28 were left.Among them were five women.

Those who were not left behind were very depressed.

Because Ye Changqin has already said that those who are left behind will have three times the monthly salary, and their status is equivalent to the level of a steward.

After the people were selected, Zhang Xu told Ye Changfen, and Ye Changli taught some people elementary Taijiquan, and then went back to practice.

Ye Changqin also left in a hurry and began to prepare to make the things written on the five pages Zhang Xu gave him.

……

About half a month later, Ye Changqin sent Zhang Xu seven toothbrushes, seven tubes of toothpaste, seven pieces of soap, two mirrors, and a glass plate with seven glass cups on it.

After a few days, these things officially appeared in Ye's shop.

As expected, they all sold like crazy.

A palm-sized round mirror cost ten taels of silver each, and it was sold out.

Toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, a set of three items cost five taels of silver, and they were also frantically snapped up by people.

Especially those women in the boudoir, who don't have a mirror by their side, don't use toothbrush, toothpaste, or soap when they wash up, and dare not go out to socialize for fear of being laughed at.

Ye Changqin was also very courageous, and directly ordered two younger members of the Ye family, one to manage the workshop and the other to manage the shop, to be responsible for new items, and he freed up his hands to do more important things.

The Ye family learned that the house is ready, and the Ye family's children are also ready.

But it still hasn't opened.

Ye Changqin paid a lot of money to hire teachers, but the result was unsatisfactory.

Because the Ye family is a businessman's family, they have no background and have never run ethnology before. Therefore, scholars who are famous, talented, and of good character are not willing to come to the Ye family to become teachers.

Those who came to apply for the job were those who valued the Ye family's high salary.

Before, Ye Changqin could accept these people.

He also hopes to take his time, slowly improve the status of the Ye family, and slowly improve the strength of the family study.

However, since I know that there are so many excellent people among my children, twelve of them are materials for studying.

There are three who will definitely pass the imperial examination and high school, and they will rise to the top.

There are also two special people, Ye Yutian and Ye Yuning, Ye Changqin is not so satisfied with those mediocre gentlemen.

I made up my mind to hire a good gentleman.These children cannot be delayed.

Another half month passed, still no success.

Three strands of Ye Changqin's hair turned gray.

Today, Ye Changqin came to report various family affairs to Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu asked about ethnology.

Zhang Xu was also a little puzzled.

Ye Changqin is a man of great power and action ability, how come he hasn't opened an ethnology school yet.

Ye Changqin explained the reason.

Zhang Xu pondered for a while, "Tell me who are the gentlemen you value."

Ye Changqin said hastily, "One is Wang Zike, over 60 years old. He was Tanhua Lang during the scientific examination and served as the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He returned to his hometown in Yongcheng when he was old."

"I went to invite me personally. I heard that I belonged to the Ye family, and the tea was not served, so they kicked me out. This prince Ke is proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, is good at general affairs, and officialdom. If you can invite me, he can teach me the Ye family. My son. In the future, their imperial examinations will be very easy, and their career in officialdom will be very good."

Zhang Xu nodded.

The official title of Minister of the Ministry of Industry is a bit small, and this person is indeed a bit arrogant.

Ye Changqin continued, "There is another one named Lu Shiqing. Although he has never been an official, he is a great Confucianist in the world. His Four Books and Five Classics, poetry, music and Fu, and painting rhythm are all very good."

"The servant at the gate of Lu Shiqing's family heard that I belonged to the Ye family, so he closed the door and ignored me. Alas, my Ye family's foundation is still too shallow."

Zhang Xu pondered for a while, "Tomorrow, let Ye Yucheng and twelve of them follow me. I will visit these two people."

Ye Changqin was happy, his ancestors would definitely be able to make it happen.

Ye Changqin had blind faith in Zhang Xu.

Ye Changqin left, Zhang Xu began to think.

Then, Zhang Xu spent one point in exchange for calligraphy skills.

It cost three points to exchange for a set of "Four Books Chapters and Sentences" written by Zhu Xi himself.

No Chinese country on Earth has this thing, so I really don't know where the system got it.

It took five points to instill the Four Books and Five Classics, similar to Zhu Xi's annotations and explanations, all of which were instilled into the brain by the system.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xu took Ye Yucheng and twelve people to the eastern suburbs of Yongcheng in the carriage prepared by Ye Changqin.

Prince Ke lives in a house in the eastern suburbs of Yongcheng.

The things that Wang Zike knew were very useful, Zhang Xu decided that he must hire this person to be the teacher of the Ye family.

When they arrived at the door, the servant who guarded the door came forward and said, "May I ask which master you are from? Master, come to visit my master? Please hand over your name card first."

This servant also knew that such a group of people seemed to be children who were studying, and Zhang Xu was the only one with weird hair. They must all come to find his master.

Zhang Xu took out the set of "Four Books Chapters and Sentences" written by Zhu Xi himself, "Forget about the famous post, you hand over these few books to your master."

Although the servant was a little puzzled, he nodded in response.

Wang Zike is quite old, already 65 years old.

There are two sons, one son works in the Ministry of Industry, and the other son works in the Ministry of Households.

After he retired from his old age and returned to his hometown, he lived in seclusion in Yongcheng.

His son and grandson are not around, and he doesn't have the fun of teasing his grandson. Wang Zike has nothing to do, so he just does two things.

One thing is to write annotations for the Four Books and Five Classics.

One thing is to write down all the solutions to common affairs encountered by the Ministry of Industry.

A book is about to be published called "Miscellaneous Essays on General Affairs of the Ministry of Industry".

When the servant came in with a book in his hands, Wang Zike was drinking tea and resting.

Wang Zike looked at the words on the cover of the book——"Four Books Chapters and Sentences" and smiled.

It seems that there are quite a few people doing the same thing as myself.

Since I can annotate the four books, I think my knowledge will not be bad.

Wang Zike opened the book and saw, "The book of the university chapters and sentences, the order of the university, the reason why the ancient university taught people the law. Since the people were born from the sky, they have the nature of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom..."

Wang Zike patted the desk, "Okay, okay, okay, that's really good, please come in."

The servant responded and left.
