Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 329 The Wisdom of Commoners

The three old farmers have issued a military order.

But to be honest, as long as there are no accidents, it is basically a certainty that one mu of potatoes will yield two thousand Han Jin.

However, it was the first large-scale planting, and no one could tell. Although Lu Yan was very confident in potatoes, he couldn't let the old farmers take it lightly.

Lu Yan accepted their military order. Since they took the risk, they had to be rewarded.If the risk is not directly proportional to the reward, who will charge for you in the future, and who will be willing to work for you?

Helping the three people up, Lu Yan also made a promise to them: "If you can complete the task of producing two thousand catties of potatoes per mu during the autumn harvest. I, someone from Lu, can promise here that I will make an exception and let you recommend a junior to directly enter the factory." Square!"

The three old farmers raised their heads and looked at each other, with unconcealable joy on their faces and eyes.

But after thinking for a while, the old Nong Yi suddenly stood up and said cautiously: "Lu Hussar, we are very grateful that you let our juniors enter the workshop, but we have another request. I don't know if I should tell you speak."

"Oh?" Lu Yan was a little surprised when he heard the words. You must know that the workshop is a place where countless people are too crowded to enter.

In addition, now that the workshop has an official status again, if you enter the workshop and do a good job, you may be able to become a petty official or an official.

Lu Yan made an exception and gave the three old peasants the opportunity to pass through the train. He didn't expect them to want to change their request. Is there anything more interesting to them than entering the workshop?

Lu Yan was surprised, and realized that the three of them must have expected that he would reward them in advance, so they had already discussed it.

Lu Yan wouldn't care about these trivial matters, but he was very curious, so he said to them: "What do you think, you might as well talk about it first."

I saw Lao Nong Yi smiled embarrassedly, seemed to be very embarrassed, opened and closed his lips for a long time but couldn't say a word.

The other two finally couldn't stand it anymore, and urged him to speak with their eyes and facial expressions. After swallowing his saliva, the old farmer B finally made up his mind, and asked, "Well, Lu Hussar, if we can complete the production of [-] catties per mu Task, can our juniors enter the Tai Academy to study?!"

"Hey!" Lu Yan was startled, he never expected that these three old farmers would ask him to let their juniors enter the Tai Academy to study!
It seems that although they are only old farmers who have been farmers all their lives, their vision is not limited to the three-acre land in front of them.

The attraction of Ganqing Tai Academy to them has surpassed the well-paid and stable iron rice bowl like the workshop. It is more likely that they want their children to study through the Tai Academy, so as to change their identity and even class status!
"Even the old peasants have discovered the bright future of the Tai Academy, so how many people will come to apply for the exam next year."

If there is a training class at this time, and another sentence, "If you come, we will train you; if you don't come, we will train your opponent." Wouldn't it be possible to get rich overnight and live a luxurious and worry-free life from now on?

If he learns from future generations and organizes a training class to sell anxiety, maybe he, Lu, will be scolded by future generations for thousands of years.
Just horrible!
Lu Yan shook his head violently, throwing out this dangerous thought.

In the current situation, although I dare not say that the introversion in the education field started from Lu Yan, at least it can be said that the severity of the introversion has been raised several steps by Lu Yan himself.

Countless dignitaries also tried their best to send people to the Tai Academy, but they were all rejected by Lu Yan without exception.

Only those confidantes who followed Cao Cao to fight the world have a place. Even a genius like Zhuge Liang, who is one in a million, can only pass the exam to enter the Taixue. Still somewhat taken for granted.

Although the three of them had been prepared in their hearts, they still couldn't help showing disappointment when Lu Yan shook his head and declined.

Lu Yan explained: "The Tai Academy will be the fairest place for poor families and ordinary people in the world to compete with aristocratic families.

If one can easily enter by relying on connections or credit, wouldn't Tai Academy become a private promotion channel for meritorious officials and even aristocratic families?So, can you understand? "

"Understood, we are greedy."

"After h goes back, I will let my grandson study hard. In the future, he will be able to take the exam fairly and be admitted to Taiyuan Academy with his own ability!"

"Very good, by the way, in fact, your children are not without opportunities." Lu Yan's words surprised the old farmers, and they all raised their heads to look at Lu Yan firmly, "In addition to Confucianism and classics, Taiyuan Academy mainly tests arithmetic. , Engineering mainly tests the understanding and creativity of various technologies, "

"Ah! It's a pity that my children can only play with mud now."

"Oh, I knew I would let the children learn a craft!"

But the old farmer exclaimed, "Mother! My grandson has loved carpentry since he was a child, and he just worshiped an old carpenter in the workshop as his teacher. Doesn't that mean that my grandson has hope to be admitted to the Imperial Academy? ? ?”

Lu Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, there is indeed a lot of hope. I might as well remind you that after you go back, ask your grandson to record every word and deed of the carpenter, and try to figure it out from experience. It makes sense, it will be of great help during the exam.”

"Thank you General Hussars for your guidance!" After the old farmer thanked Lu Yan, he suddenly laughed wildly: "Wow ha ha ha ha!!! I feel that my grandson's future is bright!"

The two old farmers looked at the old farmer with envy, and they also vowed in their hearts that after returning home, they would let their grandson go to the government-run academy to learn some skills or learn a craft.The chance to change your destiny is really rare, you must seize it!
After explaining a few words, Lu Yan left the workshop with a few more potatoes.

Now the variety of spices is very complete, how can I live up to my reputation as a foodie if I don’t go back and make a pot of roast beef with potatoes?

Half a month later, many students from Yanzhou, Xuzhou and even Huainan came to Chenliu.

Not only noble families and gentry, but also many humble scholars and ordinary students, they will work together for their own ideals, fair examination and fair competition.

The examiner will only be appointed by Prime Minister Cao Cao one day before the exam, and the exam questions will be opened during the exam and distributed to candidates on the spot.

The test questions were set by Lu Yan, Xun Yu, Yang Biao and others, and the examination papers were printed inside the workshop. Under the supervision of the shadow guard, no one could disclose the test questions.

The day of the exam was getting closer and closer, and Chenliu City was already overcrowded, and many commoners and poor students could only live in villages outside the city.

The wisdom of the people has never been underestimated, and Chenliu's business is prosperous, and the thinking of the people in Chenliu is also relatively active.

Seeing that many students could not find a place to live, some even thought of renovating their houses and renting them out for a short period of time.Thus the earliest homestay was born.
But their rent is very cheap, and they only need a few copper coins a night to pay for their meals.If you give more money, they can still buy you wine and meat.

Compared with those houses controlled by capital in later generations, the people of Dahan are really too kind.
