Zhang Xiaobao replied to Bi Gou's words. He shook the fishing rod and let it float up and down in the water. He said to Bi Gou, "Grandpa Bi, do you not want to stay in the academy anymore? Are you unhappy? "
"Yes, I am happy." Bi Gou retraced the line and threw the hook into the water, "What do you mean by happy? It's too happy. There are other academies in other places and the head stewards are always busy. Once your academy is settled properly, the stewards don't have to worry about it anymore. Just like your business, the rules are very detailed. Even those who don't know how to manage can manage it well by following the rules.
I find time to teach you every day and have a good life. Later on, a bunch of old men came down from the imperial court and wanted to teach. It's good to have an old man in charge of other people's academies. But your Jianjia Academy is better. There are more people than classes and you can't squeeze in. "
Zhang Xiaobao understood. Grandpa Bi was the kind of person who couldn't find anything to do. He was so bored that he was annoyed.
He then suggested, "Grandpa Bi, how about this? I'll arrange for all the old men to go out and let you have time to teach. There are many academies in Tang now, but there are not enough teachers.
For example, in Hongnong County, the teachers in the small school don't even have the status of a High Scholar. Even after studying for years, they can only memorize the Analects of Confucius. They can only explain a few things and then turn around and teach the children who can't read. "
Bi Gou listened to Zhang Xiaobao quietly and understood.
Nowadays, schools for children to teach were all over Tang. Schools were not short of money. Merchants were greedy, but not only were they greedy for money, they were also greedy for benefits. According to Xiao Bao, if there were benefits, they would dare to do it.
In the end, the children were happy. In places where there were many merchants, the children's meals, clothes and utensils were compared. If you were in charge of five days of meals and made Fat Fish Head to nourish the children every day, I would eat braised pork every day. Who was better than who?
If not for Xiao Bao's strict rules on the children's meals, the children would have become fat pigs by now.
The local merchants were rich, and the schools were better than the other. There were not enough teachers, so those with a bit of knowledge dared to sit in the classrooms.
'According to Xiao Bao, he intends to send the other old men to other academies. This …' Bi Gou thought about it and denied it.
"Xiao Bao, that won't do. You don't understand us old geezers. In the past, when we fought in the Imperial Court, even if we didn't fight to the death, we were close to the point of swords and weapons. If it weren't for you and Cuckoo, we wouldn't have interacted with each other.
He hadn't fought enough in the Imperial Court. What should he do? "Now that I'm at your place, you can continue to fight. Even in a game of chess, you have to fight for supremacy. If you arrange for others to leave the Academy, who would be willing to do so? The main thing is that other academies are not as good as your Jianjia Academy. If you go elsewhere, it will be a fight between academies.
Knowing that it was not enough, who would walk the path of certain defeat? "Rules can be learned by your father. You can't learn from the confidence behind Cuckoo. The beautiful surroundings can be created as long as you have money. However, you can't create the awe-inspiring and strong character of Jianjia Academy.
Many students are proud to be able to enter Jianjia Academy. Now, no one in Jianjia Academy is here to waste time. They all feel that they don't have enough time. In the past, they competed about status and spending. Now, they are competing about ability and knowledge. It's too vulgar to say that they are rich. No one dares to say that they are rich in your Academy. "
Bi Gou's words made Zhang Xiaobao feel embarrassed. Although he knew that the Academy that his family had set up Grandpa Bi had a bad reputation, he had to be humble.
Of course, he also knew that the reason why a famous school was famous was not only because it occupied a large area and had good teachers, but also because of its foundation. For example, West Point, Cambridge, and other schools that were valued in China in the past and named Shuimu Zhan and Tsinghua Academy.
It seemed that in the future, his Jianjia Academy would also become Jianjia University. If it continued for a thousand years, who would dare to refuse to accept it?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaobao laughed to himself.
Until Bi Gou repeatedly called out, "Xiao Bao, a fish has bitten the bait." Zhang Xiaobao finally woke up from his dream.
He looked at the water. Indeed, the fish was biting tightly, struggling to move the float up and down. He quickly held the bottom of the fishing rod with one hand and used the other hand to test the strength. A foot-long fish was pulled out of the water.
Just as Zhang Xiaobao was about to throw the fish to the shore, the water splashed everywhere. A black shadow jumped out and went straight to the foot-long fish.
Bi Gou was shocked. His eyes widened instantly. Before he could see clearly what flew out of the water, his line of sight was blocked by Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao half-squatted in front of Bi Gou with one leg in front and one leg behind. He held a black dagger in his left hand and a gray revolver in his right hand. He held it on his left forearm.
He looked at the other guards around him. They were either squatting or lying down. They pointed their guns in all directions.
Following the sound of something falling into the water, bubbles appeared on the surface of the water. Zhang Xiaobao stood up and put the gun back into the holster on his leg. He turned around and smiled at Bi Gou. "Haha, Grandpa Bi, it was a false alarm. It was a big black fish. Did it scare you?"
"You scared me. I didn't see the fish at all." Bi Gou said angrily. When he saw that the guards he brought were still confused, his anger burned even more.
He lectured them, "Look, look, look, I was counting on you to protect me. If a team like Xiao Bao fought me, this old man would definitely die with a grievance. It's good, right? In the blink of an eye, you will have to say goodbye to this beautiful world. "
The butler, Chang Cheng, was shocked. He moved closer and whispered, "Master, I have already asked the leader of the guards to take care of them. Usually, they are not bad. There are not many teams in the world that can be as good as Jiedushi Zhang's guards, right?"
"Alright, alright. When Xiao Bao's team first came out, my guards were slightly better. Later, when they came to Shuzhou, my guards were slightly worse. Now … let's not talk about it." Bi Gou waved his hand dispiritedly.
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaobao began to take off his clothes. He took off his clothes until he was only wearing a pair of shorts. He held the dagger in his hand and said to Bi Gou, "Grandpa Bi, don't worry. I will go down and catch it. It is about four feet long and has become a demon. Don't say that your guards are not changing. They are not changing."
As soon as Zhang Xiaobao's voice fell, he drew a beautiful arc in the air and plunged into the water with a splash.
Bi Gou curled his lips, "My ass. If you don't practice, you will become a demon. You will not change until you die. Prepare the net for me. Do you expect other people's elites to do the work?"
The second half of Bi Gou's sentence was directed at his guards. He directly regarded them as his assistants. He also understood why the Emperor directly asked Xiaobei and the others to come over, and why Xiao Bao and Cuckoo did not object.
Xiao Bei's nine children's bodyguards, compared to Xiao Bao's bodyguards, should only be stronger.
Bi Gou guessed correctly. Even Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not have the two fast gunmen that Watanabe Juichiro saw by Xiaobei's side. They only trained two qualified people and gave them to Xiaobei and the others.
When Bi Gou's guards pulled the net left and right, planning to help Zhang Xiaobao, the water on the surface of the water began to churn. There was a faint dark red color in the water.
After a while, it stopped churning and spat out two mouthfuls of blood. It waved its hand toward the shore. Its elbow was bent as it pushed something toward the shore. When the water became shallow, the figure of the black fish was revealed.
Zhang Xiaobao threw it into the water and no longer cared about it. He swung his left arm and walked to the shore, cursing, "Want to bite me? I broke its teeth and hit its face. The skin on its pads is broken. Bah! "
Zhang Xiaobao spat out another mouthful of blood. It seemed that his teeth were really broken.
Bi Gou saw Zhang Xiaobao was injured, so his face sank, "If you don't have the ability, don't go down and show off. How old are you? You are still like a child."
"I didn't show off. I just wanted to catch a live one. Otherwise, how could I be hurt by it? Let's not talk about the black fish. Let's see if a small shark dares to eat me. Unfortunately, you can't eat fresh fish. Take it back and I'll make half fresh sashimi for you."
Zhang Xiaobao looked very regretful. In the end, he still stabbed the black fish to death.
The person in charge of carrying the fish saw that the black fish's eyes were obviously not pierced by a dagger. There were only two deep holes left, and the eyeballs were gone. Zhang Xiaobao probably pierced them with his fingers. There were a few wounds on the black fish's head. Weiwei moved a little, but it would not come back to life.
Bi Gou saw that Zhang Xiaobao was not seriously injured, so he pointed to the stool next to him, "Let's send the fish back and chill it. Let's continue fishing. Where were we just now?"
The weather was not too cold, and it was almost noon. Zhang Xiaobao did not put on his clothes. He sat down in his pants and replied, "We were talking about the Academy. I said that my Academy was good."
"I didn't ask you about the latter part, the former part," Bi Shu reminded him.
"Before that? You said that there were many old men and that they were fighting for classes, so you had no classes. "
"Before that."
"That's it."
"Before that, I asked you if the fish was too old to cook dishes. Is that true?" Bi Gou said it out by himself.
Zhang Xiaobao tried to recall. It seemed that time had passed too quickly. When Bi Gou was about to lose his patience, he finally showed a look of realization and said, "Yes, Grandpa.
You have a good memory, Grandpa Bi. That depends on what kind of fish it is. For example, the black fish we caught just now was about four feet long. It was definitely not young, and it tasted better. "
"What if people are old? Can they only eat and wait for death? "Bi Gou said with a sigh.
"Oh!" Zhang Xiaobao understood that Grandpa Bi was suffering from the aftereffects of retirement. In the past, he followed him everywhere. Later, when he went to the north, he could not take the old man with him. After a long time, the old man had nothing to do.
People who had been officials for a long time were not like ordinary old people who could take care of their grandchildren. They always wanted to do things that were in line with their official status. Although Between the Clouds and the Water in Sanshui County was good, it was not a place they could stay all year round.
"Grandpas all think so?" Zhang Xiaobao asked as he clumsily assembled the fishing rod with one hand and tapped it on his face again and again.
"Everyone thinks so." Bi Gou looked depressed.
"It's simple. If you want to find something to do, just send a telegram or get someone to send a signal through the radio. I'll give you an idea. Why do you have to come here personally to fish?"
Zhang Xiaobao slapped his thigh and complained.
Bi Gou glared at him. "If you don't come here, do you think this old man can't even walk? Tell me, what's the job? Is there a salary?"
"Yes, there's a lot of money. They will take the initiative to give it to you. Our Tang Empire's tourism industry is booming now. There are many places in my house. You can go and take a group of old men there. When you reach a place, you can praise them. For example, the water is good, the mountains are beautiful.
If you want to move your arms, write couplets, or compose poems, just the money to polish your pen will be ten times more than others. Eat, drink, and play. You won't have to pay a single cent. After a while, our tourism industry will open up in Japan. There's also Xinluo. If you're not afraid of storms, you can also go there. "
Zhang Xiaobao did not need to think too much. His eyes turned, and ideas came out like a gushing spring.
Bi Gou did not care about his fishing rod. He felt that by the water, the autumn cold was heavy, which was the opposite of what Zhang Xiaobao thought was warm. He took out a flat glass bottle from his arms, shook the wine inside, unscrewed the cap and drank two mouthfuls. He exhaled deeply and said,
"I regret it. If I had known, I would have brought Yao with me. I'm too old. I can't play tricks on you young people."
"Grandpa Bi, you came here and asked me to give you an idea. I gave you an idea. How can you say that I'm playing tricks? You make me so sad. " Zhang Xiaobao put the fishing rod on the shelf. When he waved his hand, someone brought him some 'clean' water. He began to wipe his body so that he could change into dry pants later.
Bi Gou did not believe Zhang Xiaobao's words. "If you're not sad, why do you have so many tricks? You took too long to recall just now. You even tapped your face a few times. "
"Did I? Oh, the black fish hit me. It hurts, so I tapped it a little to stimulate the blood flow. It's the same as cupping and scraping when you're sick. Ice chips, ice chips, give me ice chips. My face hurts more when I hear Grandpa Bi's words. "
Zhang Xiaobao splashed water on himself and asked someone to find ice chips for him.
Bi Gou gave Zhang Xiaobao a look of disbelief and asked, "Tell me, what's your purpose other than to play?"
"Grandpa Bi, you're wise. It's a long story."
"Make it short."
"Well, in fact, not all places in the Tang Empire are suitable for tourism. You always praise me for being smart. I won't let people waste money to invest.
Firstly, tourism has requirements for roads. It's not too expensive to build roads, and it's not all cement roads. Rich people can go over and say that they're willing to fork out money and talk to the local people. The people who are free will take the initiative to build roads. You're in charge of the money for the gunpowder and food. The people are willing to build roads in front of their homes.
The power of the people, oh, the power of the people is very strong. They will quickly build a road that is cheap and convenient. The imperial court will then fork out money to build the main road, and all the roads will be connected. "
Zhang Xiaobao raised a finger and explained his original intention of developing tourism.
"What's the second reason?" Bi Gou felt that he was back in the yamen and asked.
"The second reason is that the Tang Empire has many special products and minerals. When I asked people to draw the map, I had already explored it. With the development of technology, there are more ways to explore. The resources that were not discovered in the past will be valued by the businessmen who invest money after the tourism industry.
We'll note it down, but not mine. If we can plunder it, we must plunder it and leave some for our descendants. When technology reaches a certain level, there will be an explosion of resources. The Tang Empire wants to encourage plundering. "
Zhang Xiaobao was almost done washing. He stood there and waited for the clothes to dry. He raised another finger.
Bi Gou closed his eyes and pondered. After a while, Zhang Xiaobao changed his pants. He opened his eyes and said, "Yes, but what does it have to do with us going on a trip? Help you note down the location of the resources? "
"Something like that. When you go on a trip, bring professionals with you. Most importantly, Xiaobei is a Patrol Inspector of the Tang Empire, but she can't really put down her studies to patrol.
My family's business is not omnipotent. When you go on a trip, help me take a look. I don't believe that you can be bribed. You just said that you've been fighting with each other. Whoever gets benefits will speak up for him. He can't afford to lose face, right? "
Zhang Xiaobao raised another finger.
Bi Gou nodded and signaled to Zhang Xiaobao to come closer.
Zhang Xiaobao had just put on his clothes and came over with his eyes open.
Bi Gou grabbed Zhang Xiaobao's hand and pried open all ten fingers. He said, "Don't wait for me to ask you one by one. Say it yourself. Say it all the way to the tenth finger."
"How can there be so many?" Zhang Xiaobao was unhappy.
"Also, count in the toes." Bi Gou did not let go.
