Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

After all, Boss Lin is a scholar. He already has connections in the scholastic community, plus he is rich.

As soon as his class was held, it quickly caused a small sensation in Baoding Mansion.

It's not that there is anything special about this so-called cram school. In fact, every time there is a big exam, the teachers who teach the students will subconsciously surprise the students for a month.

The point is, Boss Lin's advertisement is well done.

The slogan of the advertisement is amazing, to the effect that although there are many famous scholars in Baoding, it is hard to find real famous teachers.Everyone knows who Su Mu was before. He was an idiot, but after studying under Mr. Shao for a month, he became enlightened, and even won two first prizes in a row.This time, Mr. Shao runs this cram school and recruits students. I dare not say anything else, but you are somewhat sure of getting a reputation as a scholar.

Our slogan is: Guaranteed to be on the list, if not selected, full refund of tuition fees.

Of course, since there is a [-]% guarantee of passing the test, the tuition fee is not cheap.

Boss Lin really dared to ask, the tuition fee is 50 taels.

……

"This Boss Lin, really hateful!" Su Mu hated others calling him an idiot, even Boss Lin couldn't forgive him.

He cursed secretly a few times, and decided that he would not write a single word of manuscript for him this month.

Shao Tai was also furious, and even his favorite Longquan kiln tureen and teacup in his hand broke into pieces: "This Duan surnamed Lin looks hideous. I think he is also a scholar and has a reputation as a scholar. His mouth is full of money, and his mouth is absurd!"

Su Mu could only comfort him for a long time before he calmed down the anger in his chest.

……

"Old Mr. Lin, you just need to run the class well, what are you trying to do with me?" Su Mu came to ask the crime.

"This business is like a good novel. It needs a gimmick."

"Is this a good gimmick?"

"Naturally, one... Enen." In front of Su Mu, Boss Lin was embarrassed to call him an idiot. Didn't he point at the monk and scold him for being bald? It’s amazing. When other candidates saw it, wow, my starting point is much higher than that of Su Mu. He only studied with Mr. Shao for a month and was able to get the first place. If I were replaced by him, wouldn’t I be better than him?”

Boss Lin felt a little guilty: "Zi Qiao, this is how business is done, please forgive me."

Su Mu had a bitter face: "I admit that what you said is somewhat reasonable, but your [-]% guarantee of passing the test is a bit dangling. The college entrance examination is not something you can just say, it doesn't matter if the time and place are right, you need some luck Is Mr. Dang Shao the Wenqu star descending to earth, the Kuixing immortal? If you don’t get hit by then, it will be troublesome.”

"If you don't win, you will get a refund."

"Then how do you make money?"

"A good teacher has to have good students!" Boss Lin smiled: "Didn't I spread the word that all the students taught by Mr. Shao can be on the list? There are so many people who want to sign up to study. One class can accept five Ten students are not bad. When we admit students, we should screen them out, and only select the kind of students who are promising to pass the exam. There are really not enough recruits, so don’t abuse the shortage. Don’t dare to brag about others, this Baoding Mansion I have a good idea of ​​who is likely to fall in my childhood and who will not fall in."

Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief: "This method is good."

……

With the ready-made example of sumac, the publicity effect is surprisingly good.

In this way, not only Su Mu's reputation as a stupid person in the past became more resounding, but even Mr. Shao was shrouded in a veil of mystery, as if he had a strange magical power, as long as he turned around on his door, It is born with a halo of luck.

Scholars, if you don't talk, you are strange, but you still believe in such things as God's will, otherwise, when you get the rankings in the provincial examination, the government will not send people to dance the Kuixing dance at the banquet for the people to thank God.

And the religious system of the Ming Dynasty was also chaotic, and the land city gods and three Qing Buddhas all worshiped.

Ordinary people have also formed the habit of worshiping gods as soon as they see them, and worshiping gods without blaming them.

It's not bad to have a name on Mr. Shao's place, at least it's a psychological comfort.

Soon, the number of people who signed up exceeded two hundred.

However, in order to ensure the quality, it is also necessary to avoid a nervous breakdown when refunding an invalid refund in the future.After comprehensive consideration, Boss Lin only recruited forty candidates and got more than 2000 taels of silver.

"These forty or so students are the best of our Baoding prefecture's scholars who have not achieved fame. None of them are top students in their county. Calculated according to the admission rate of this chapter test, maybe all of them will be on the list. It's famous." Boss Lin said.

For this chapter test, more than 2000 people from more than a dozen counties of Baoding Mansion signed up, and 150 were admitted, with an acceptance rate of about [-]%. It is not difficult to calculate.

As a quasi-businessman, Boss Lin likes to calculate probabilities.

"However, if the horse stumbles, we have to save it." Boss Lin said: "Let's reserve a part of the tuition fees that will be paid, so as not to have to refund when we get it."

"Mr. Shao's share is useless. In the future, if there is a situation where a refund is required, it will be paid from my share." Su Mu said.

Boss Lin glanced at Su Mu, with a hint of admiration on his face, "Zi Qiao is a real gentleman, and Mr. Shao is not in vain to value him."

Everyone has nearly 600 taels of tuition for this cram school, and Su Mu's share is still stored in the bookstore first.

As for Mr. Shao, he sent a porter to deliver two large baskets of 1000 taels of silver.

When Mr. Shao saw so much money, his whole body trembled, and he suffered from insomnia for two consecutive days, and it was not until the third day that he returned to normal. After sending 500 taels back to his hometown, the rest was used for the daily expenses of the county school.

On the fourth day, I regained my composure and started teaching.

Hearing this news, Su Mu felt disapproving.The county school is a government agency, and a government cannot even guarantee the daily education funds. There is a problem with the system, so why should it be paid for by private individuals.

Mr. Shao's personality is great, but what's the use of doing this?

Anyway, now Su Mu finally has the opportunity to ask Mr. Shao for advice.

What's more, unlike the students in Hu's Academy, where the standards of the students are uneven, here are all the elites of the younger generation in Baoding, and Mr. Shao's courses are also high-level. After only a few days, Su Mu feels what he has learned. More than a month ago.

Of course, this school has already caused a small commotion in Baoding City because of the great commotion it made.

Whenever Mr. Shao was giving lectures, there would always be many poor scholars dressed as scholars running over to eavesdrop.

Mr. Shao taught without discrimination, and he didn't drive him away. In the end, more and more people came to listen.

In the end, Su Mu couldn't take it anymore and sent a guy to drive him away.

Mr. Shao was very upset and had a quarrel with Boss Lin.

Boss Lin couldn't take it any longer, and said to Su Mu, I understand, Ziqiao, you see that Mr. Shao is in distress, and you want to take this opportunity to seek some benefits for your teacher, but you let me do this to offend Mr. Shao. Also offend other scholars!

Su Mu explained that everyone can sit in for free. Is it fair to candidates who have paid tuition?Besides, the saying that everyone passes the test is a lie, and this truth is so true if you put it bluntly.After others came to listen to the class for a few days, they felt that it was not as great as the rumors said. After thinking about it, your reputation, Mr. Lin, was ruined.

Boss Lin threw up his hands and said that my reputation was on the verge of going bad. People said that I was only looking for money, and I didn't even want the friendship in Shilin.

In this way, Boss Lin also gained a little fame.

For Su Mu's plan, Boss Lin was so impressed.Although I don't make much money, it's basically a no-capital business, and I get money quickly, unlike publishing a book, which has to be printed first and then sold, which is very troublesome.

I feel that I have been in business for so many years, and this time is the most worry-free time.

Moreover, this semi-tutorial class recruits only the elite of Baoding's young scholars. Among these forty people, they will all be Baoding's gentry class in the future, and it is possible to have a few candidates, or even Jinshi.

Su Mu has a classmate friendship with them. In the future, this network will be very powerful. They will be counted in one fell swoop, powerful, powerful!

However, Boss Lin didn't know that Su Mu didn't think that he would stay in this small world of Baoding for the rest of his life.

The weather is getting hotter every day, and the sky in the Northland is as blue as washing.The sky is wide and the world outside is wonderful!
