Chapter 428: Competition

The heir, Chen Guanfu, not only replaced the people in the clan elders' meeting, but also took this opportunity to boldly change some of the old rules and bad habits in the clan, replaced the accountant, and expanded the scale of the clan's private school.

Children in the clan who are six years old, regardless of wealth or poverty, can go to the clan school to study. And provide pens, inks, papers, and inkstones, but the quality will be relatively poor, suitable for poor families. Wealthy families certainly won't look at the learning utensils provided by the clan school.

In addition to learning utensils, two meals are also provided. The meals are not rich, but they can definitely be eaten full. Even two sets of clothes are provided a year. One set of spring clothes, one set of winter cotton-padded jackets.

The extra expenses of these clan schools, the heir said, are borne by the Marquis's Mansion. The accounts are also managed by the Marquis's Mansion's accountant, not the clan's accountant. It is equivalent to separate accounts, and the clan elders' meeting wants to intervene but has no way to start.

Master Du continues to serve as the master of the clan school, and another master has been hired, and a teacher has also been hired. Actually, it is the director of teaching, responsible for teaching discipline and the construction of the clan school's style of study.

The director of teaching is hired from the young people of the Chen clan, which is equivalent to providing an employment opportunity for the clan members.

Hearing from the clan uncle, at least one or twenty people are competing for this position. He also asked Chen Guanlou if he wanted to sign up for the competition.

Chen Guanlou couldn't laugh or cry: "The job in the Heavenly Prison is enough to tire me out. I really don't have the energy to compete for the clan school teacher. This opportunity should be left to other knowledgeable people."

"Guanxin wants to compete for the teacher, do you think he has a chance?" The clan uncle asked as if casually.

Chen Guanlou answered casually: "If he can manage his hands and feet and quit his gambling habits, with his ability, being a teacher is not a problem. After all, he has been tempered in the Heavenly Prison and knows how to manage people."

"That's what I think too. This job as a teacher, the Marquis's Mansion pays eighty taels a year, which is very high."

Not just very high. I haven't seen any private school so rich.

Master Du's tuition a few years ago was only sixty or seventy taels a year, and it has risen in recent years. It is only a little more than eighty taels.

The clan uncle continued: "During festivals, the Marquis's Mansion will prepare a gift, which can also be worth a lot of money. The key is that this job is decent and very respected. Therefore, the competition is also particularly great."

The clan uncle only said the obvious benefits.

Various invisible benefits have not yet been reflected.

Various invisible incomes brought by status and status, various fragmented incomes, add up to quite a lot. And with this status, go in and out of the Marquis's Mansion, and make friends with various nobles. If you are a bachelor, maybe you can take this opportunity to find a good marriage.

The clan uncle also told Chen Guanlou: "The women's school is going to be restored, but classes are only held for half a day every day. Girls should read books and learn some principles. I heard that the women's school is going to be reopened and expanded. Many aunts who have married out want to send the girls in their families to the clan school to study. The Marquis's Mansion is discussing whether to expand the clan school. Actually, there is no need to expand; just open a door by connecting the neighboring courtyard, which is enough."

"The women's school thing, I heard my eldest sister mention it. If it really opens, my niece can just come here to study. No need to go to Master Su's place to study."

"Is Master Su not good?"

"It's quite good. It's just that Master Su has limited energy and doesn't provide meals and stationery. If there is a free one, of course, you can't miss it."

"Hahaha... well said. If there is a free one, naturally you can't miss it. However, what is the chapter on children of married women, the Marquis's Mansion hasn't spoken yet. Whether it can be free together, it's not certain now."

Chen Guanlou said: "It doesn't matter. If it's not free, I'll cover the tuition and meal expenses for my niece."

"You don't lack this money, naturally you are generous. However, other families are not as rich as you. You say, can my Guanxin compete for it?" The clan uncle was a bit unsure.

The attitude of the Marquis's Mansion is clearly to manage the clan school and not trust the people of the clan elders' meeting.

His desire to intervene and let his own son serve as a clan school teacher naturally became a bubble. Everything must wait for the decision of the Marquis's Mansion.

The heir, Chen Guanfu, seems to be easy to talk to and good at listening to suggestions, but in fact, he is very stubborn and absolutely does not accept human bondage.

On the contrary, the eldest master, who seems to be romantic and doesn't care about worldly affairs. But if someone asks for help, and explains the difficulties well, the eldest master will generally help, or give money directly to solve the problem.

Chen Guanfu belongs to the type who, once he makes up his mind, is impervious to oil and salt. Even if the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion comes forward to plead, he is polite on the surface, but in fact, he doesn't give an inch, making people unable to get off the stage.

Chen Guanfu returned to the mansion for only a month or so, and the second room has suffered several losses, crying without a place to cry. After all, it is natural for the heir to be the master, and no one can pick out any mistakes.

What is this?

This is the power and authority of orthodox status. This is the rule that the civil and military officials and scholars of the world must protect.

The old Emperor destroyed the rules that everyone protected, and sooner or later he would be backlashed.

Chen Guanlou first asked about the registration list, and then said bluntly: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, the competition is too great."

The clan uncle sighed: "I also know the competition is too great, I just think, what if. Can you talk to the heir and recommend my Guanxin in front of him? If it succeeds, there will be a heavy reward."

"Uncle, you think too highly of me. What kind of character am I, how can I have the qualifications to make friends with the heir, and recommend people. This matter, you have to find someone in the Marquis's Mansion. For example, the few servants who serve the heir closely, their words are more useful than anything."

"How can I not know this truth. It's just that there is no opportunity to get to know the people around the heir. They are all from the military camp, and if they don't dare to say anything else, they are called rule-abiding. Without the heir's instructions, they don't even want the reward money."

The clan uncle sighed repeatedly, helpless.

He could walk all the relationships, but the results were not satisfactory. That's why he was like a headless fly, begging in front of Chen Guanlou. It was also his confusion.

Chen Guanlou not only didn't have this influence, but even if he did, he couldn't take it all on.

Since it is a competition, and it involves major events such as children's learning and studying, it is naturally based on their own abilities. Chen Guanxin clearly has bad habits and moral flaws, and is actually not suitable to be a teacher at all, for fear that the children will be brought bad by him.

"Uncle, you have to believe in the heir's vision, he will definitely choose the most suitable person to be the clan school teacher."

The clan uncle smiled bitterly, he was afraid of the heir's vision. With the heir's picky vision, he definitely wouldn't look at Chen Guanxin. Hey, Chen Guanxin is destined to be brushed off in the first round.

Chen Guanlou accompanied his uncle to drink a few rounds, directly drank the other party drunk, the banquet ended, and they broke up.

Blowing the cold wind of winter, swaying and walking on the way home.

Suddenly thought of Pan Pan Niangzi.

On this romantic night, he needed Pan Pan Niangzi to warm the bed for him.

So, Chen's small courtyard lost its owner again this night. ===== CHAPTER 429 =====
