Chapter 39 Headhunting Action

Mao Geng felt a sense of crisis when Tan Wei and Dun Erbao ran to do a Maoban boat.

Mao Geng felt that he had little control over the situation and originally wanted to rely on interests to form his own strength. However, the benefits were not big enough, and the other hand, there was never a lack of such casual behavior of gambling with youth. If he continued to do so, such unorganized and undisciplined behavior might continue to take place.

Mao Geng then truly felt the superiority of organization. People say that a hero and three helpers can accomplish something, but how can no team do it? But like this, one runs away and one runs away, and two runs away, then I will be in vain! The key is that these people go to develop the fine products of the Song Dynasty. If they learn half a bucket of water and go to make counterfeit products, wouldn’t it be a huge harm!

Organizing a political party? Mao Geng shook his head. The dispute between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang's new and old party made the politics of the Song Dynasty mess up. It would be better to do more practical things and talk less about ideology, and there is no need to raise a political banner. Besides, he is still suspected of being a spy from the Jin Dynasty. If he is not a good person, he will have a leader-level political future in the Song Dynasty. He is afraid he will have no hope in this life.

It is not that I have thought of a domineering scene, such as when my tiger body shakes, I follow you behind you, and then kill all directions. The three armies use their lives to kill Gods, and the Buddhas block the Buddhas. Can this scene be staged? Mao Geng thought about it, according to his personality, this scene will never appear.

For example, if you introduce a modern enterprise system and set up a Mao family group company? Forget it! I’m afraid that the daylily will be cold and I can’t touch the edge of the modern enterprise system.

It is not easy to run schools. Think about the case of the Whampoa Military Academy. The students taught in Huangpu are divided into two factions and fight each other to the death. It can be seen that it is difficult to implement the good wishes of the runners.

After thinking about it, Mao Geng was very shaking his head about how to successfully embark on a XX-ism path with the characteristics of the Song Dynasty.

Finally, Mao Geng decided to honestly adopt the old trick of accepting apprentices, because the master of this era has absolute authority over the apprentices. Mao Geng needs a contract, which is unilaterally beneficial to himself. As for the equal "contract spirit", let him go to hell! The contractual relationship between master and apprentice in this era just meets this requirement.

For example, there is a copy of the text of giving birth to a child as an apprentice: "XX, a person with a character named "XX, would rather send a child to an apprentice at the XX shoe shop as an apprentice. It will be full for four years. If you wipe the table and sweep the floor, pick up water and cook, you only allow the owner not to use it, and you are not allowed to do it. During the apprenticeship, you will have no value and rewards. After you have completed your studies, your value will be negotiable. If you violate the rules of the shop, you will be beaten or scolded, and you will escape without any punishment. If you are fined ten stones of rice, you will have nothing to do with the shopkeeper. If you have no evidence of empty words, you will be a proof of the word."

It is said that Xu Xiangqian also worked as an apprentice when he was young. During his three-year apprenticeship, he worked as a coolie for two and a half years and learned craftsmanship in the last half year.

In the Song Dynasty, it is almost the same rule to accept disciples. This is good! At least, it can ensure that the disciples will not be distorted by learning things. They will never go west, and say they are good at making fine products. In this way, they will at least bring out a group of disciples who are not distorted by them in their lifetime. In the future, they will become the elites of the industrialization of the Song Dynasty. By then, the Song Dynasty will not be in vain to make a strong country with industrial power.

The plan was decided, so Mao Geng asked Fu Guoxi, Tan Xiuzhu and Tan Chengzhu to discuss together.

The four of them sat down and Mao Geng said solemnly:

"I invite three seniors to come today because Xiaoke has a new idea. Xiaoke has some knowledge and tricks in his mind. I want to find some disciples and pass them on. These disciples must have been with me for more than two years before they can learn it well. Xiaoke wants to ask three seniors to help you find some suitable disciples for Xiaoke. As for the conditions, you are over twelve years old and under 20 years old, you need to know literacy. How about it? Three seniors - Can you help Xiaoke?"

When Fu Guoxi heard this, he immediately stood up and said happily:

"Mr. Mao's actions are very good! You see, my family can be a disciple. I am fourteen years old and I know the name. Mr. Mao, if you can help me become a disciple, it will be a fortune for helping me. How about it? Let me leave it to you!"

Fu Guoxi had actually wanted Fugui to learn skills with Mao Geng, but this section of wax paper was very busy, and Mao Geng was busy every day, so he didn't have the nerve to mention it. Today, when Mao Geng mentioned it on his own initiative, how could he miss such an opportunity! If it weren't for the release of ash waxworms, he had to help him to make medicinal materials and wax paper. Fu Guoxi wanted to let his two sons take Mao Geng as his teacher.

Mao Geng was already close to Fugui, so he naturally agreed now.

Tan Chengzhu naturally was not willing to stay in the back, and couldn't wait to say:

"Mr. Mao, my Xiaochun is your disciple for your guidance. I just owe a ritual for apprenticeship. Let's make up for this ritual today!"

Tan Qi's qualifications are self-evident. In Mao Geng's mind, he has long been considered his disciple. Tan Chengzhu was very pleased when he said this, so he naturally nodded happily. He didn't know that the master could pass on his apprentice skills these days, which was a great deal. Sometimes he could not learn crafts even if he spent money. Generally speaking, the apprentice helped the master work two years ago without getting a salary, and in the third year, the master taught his apprentice some craftsmanship seriously. Like Mao Geng, he taught his apprentice generously, and the skills he taught were rare in the world. Where can he find such a good master?

When Tan Xiuzhu saw that Fu Guoxi and Tan Chengzhu both sent their disciples to Mao Geng's disciples. Tan Jixue was only nine years old, and he wanted to try the academic field in the future. It would be good to learn skills from Mao Geng, but Mao's skills had nothing to do with the science field. In an anxious manner, he suddenly remembered Tan Wangdi, so he said hesitantly:

"Mr. Mao, you didn't say that your disciples must be a man. My Wangdi is already 13 years old, and she has a lot of literacy. She is smart and has no worse understanding than men. Just talk about making wax paper. The wax paper made by Wangdi is not worse than that of others. She is also fascinated by the mechanisms for some reason, but she doesn't look like a girl. Her cousin Xiaochun learned the art of making a mechanism with Mr. Mao, and Wangdi was also envious! If she had the opportunity to learn a little from Mr. Mao, my little girl would definitely like it very much. Let's do this, for my old face, accept Wangdi as her disciple!"

Mao Geng thought to himself that Tan Wangdi might have the potential to be a female engineer, so this is great! The Tan family and Fu family have been together for a long time, and have been influenced by the Yao family, so they don’t pay much attention to women. Mao Geng has no taboos, so he is naturally happy to agree. However, when Tan Xiuzhu saw Mao Geng responded happily, she was so moved that she thanked her continuously.

So everyone organized a ceremony to hold a ceremony for apprenticeship that day. Tan Chengzhu was an apprentice and became a teacher on the same day. However, he knew the ceremony for apprenticeship, so it was the most authentic. Mao Geng actually didn't care whether it was authentic or not. The key was to have such a ceremony so that it would be easier to train his apprenticeship in the future.

Unexpectedly, when Huang Wangcai heard about it, he immediately started to call Mao Geng as his teacher. Huang Wangcai was almost thirty years old and his brain was not very smart. Mao Geng had no intention of accepting him as his disciple, but Huang Wangcai knelt down and refused to get up, and insisted on taking Mao Geng as his teacher. Mao Geng felt that he was sincere and responded together.

On the day, Mao Geng officially accepted four disciples. Mao Geng made three rules with the four disciples. Of course, the rules became much more humane, such as removing various terms that restrict personal freedom, but Mao Geng didn't plan to be too broad, and being strict is always better.

Mao Geng was very happy to formally accept his disciples.

In addition, there are two things to be happy about. One is that the pencil refill core has been sintered for initial success. The first batch of refill cores can be written on paper, but the handwriting is not obvious, and only the intensity is paid attention to. Graphite is used too little. It seems that the formula needs to be adjusted continuously, but this is a good start after all.

The second thing is to refine crude antimony blocks, which seem to have too much impurity content. Obviously, the antimony refining technology needs to be further improved. Fortunately, Mao Geng is not busy casting lead type. Waxed paper engraving is being sold, so there seems to be no need to launch lead type movable type printing so quickly.

What is frustrating is that the graphite clay crucible I tried to make a few days ago burned and the steel was naturally not refined. It seems that more formulas need to be tried, and it is likely that the ratio of graphite to clay is incorrect.

On this day, Mao Geng was busy directing his disciples to make a new batch of clay crucibles, but Fuzhen came to report that a distinguished guest was visiting and was waiting for Mao Geng at Fu's house.

Mao Gengxin said that I had no relatives here, and I don’t know who would come here to find me. Could it be that County Magistrate Xu sent someone?

When I arrived at Fu's family, I realized that it was not someone sent by County Magistrate Xu, but by County Magistrate Gao from Anhua. The representative of County Magistrate Gao was his aide Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu's surname is good. This is the first time I have visited the Fu's and Tan's family's thatched cottages. I wonder if I will come for the second and third time in the future.

It turned out that wax paper engraving and blackboard chalk were invented, and Anhua, who was close to Baixi, soon learned about this. After that, although Kang Lao was blowing hard on Xinhua, there was no airtight wall in the world, and a lot of news was leaked, among which there were rumors that Mao Geng Wenyuan participated in these two inventions. After Huang Wangcai made a fuss at the Mao Family Workshop, he went home to reunite. This time, after Huang Wangcai's wife, he had a lot of news came out and it reached the ears of the Gao County Magistrate.

When the Magistrate Gao saw that the invention of Xu County in Xinhua was so glorious because of the invention of wax paper engraving, the result of offering gifts step by step was that the reputation became better and better. In addition, the deeds of Xu County Magistrate Xu, which was fabricated by the "Baixi Academy of Sciences", was afraid that the officials of the Song Dynasty would also look at Xu County Magistrate Xu's different views.

If the magistrate Gao is a county magistrate, he is not a person without knowledge. Based on the information he has in his hands, he thought that Mao Geng might be the key person. The magistrate Gao is cautious, so he asked Mr. Gu to come and test it. If he is really a talented person, he would have to pay some money.

With Huang Wangcai's wife and brother-in-law leading the way, it is not difficult to find a place to help his family. In this way, Mao Geng met Mr. Gu who came to recruit talents for the magistrate of Gao County.

Fu Tan and the others naturally praised Mao Geng. Mr. Gu looked from a distance and found that there were indeed many agencies in the Mao Workshop, so he determined that Mao Geng was the talent that County Magistrate Gao wanted.

The conditions offered by Mr. Gu are actually not bad. Xinhua only let Mao Geng teach in private schools, while Anhua is the well-known Anhua County School. If he is a teacher in the county school, he can be considered a civil servant level in the Song Dynasty, and even cleared Mao Geng's suspicion of spies. If he changed someone, he would be afraid to follow Mr. Gu to the county school to study high school immediately.

However, since Mao Geng officially accepted his apprenticeship, he has been indifferent to the idea of ​​going to the official school to teach. To put it bluntly, the official school in the Song Dynasty was still a liberal arts. If he wanted to teach, he could only teach one thing, but he was just a foil. The most important thing is that his current task is to teach his disciples well.

Mao Geng was humble and naturally made a point of pushing the wax paper printing. He claimed that his knowledge was limited and he declined the invitation from Xinhua.

Mr. Gu was very disappointed and left reluctantly.

But what is even more surprising is that the next day, Fuguo Railway brought a more prominent person, who was Mr. Zhou of Yuelu Academy. Mr. Zhou of Yuelu Academy originally came to ask the famous Mr. Kang to teach at Yuelu Academy, but Mr. Kang had no intention of leaving Baixi, so he specially recommended Mao Geng. Mr. Kang felt that he owed Mao Geng too much, so of course he wanted Mao Geng to have a bright future. Being a teacher at Yuelu Academy is not something that ordinary people can go, so Mr. Kang naturally wanted to recommend Mao Geng.

Mao Geng smiled bitterly, what's this? If it were before, he might have gone to Yuelu Academy with Mr. Zhou. Yuelu Academy is a top academy in the Song Dynasty today. The students there must be all the best. It goes without saying that they can be teachers of these people, which will be of great benefit to their development in the Song Dynasty.

Since the great scholar Zhang Shishi Yuelu Academy, he has attached great importance to the study of "managing the world and using it" and also attaches great importance to mathematics. A great math like Mao Geng will never sit on the bench when he arrives at Yuelu Academy.

But the same thing is said, Mao Geng doesn't care about those empty things now. His goals are first, he needs to make more money, and second, he needs to devote himself to cultivating his disciples who can be called his direct line. Therefore, Mao Geng once again developed the virtue of modesty and declined Mr. Zhou's invitation as usual.

Mao Geng refused the invitation from Yuelu Academy, and Fuguo Railway was the happiest thing. This time, Fuguo Railway brought Mao Geng another 200 stagnant. According to him, the order for wax paper engraving equipment continued to grow, and a total of 400 sets have been added. If this continues, in two months, I am afraid that one thousand sets will be added.

Fuguo Tie also told Mao Geng that the Su family, Dun family, and the five brothers of the Fu family, including him, all had their children to come to be Mao Geng's disciples, and Mr. Kang also wanted to send his grandson to become a disciple of Mao Geng. In terms of calculation, he was afraid that he would add another disciple. Mao Geng stated that as long as he was smart and understood the rules, he would accept it himself.

Another day later, Su Zhidao accompanied Mr. Luo to the Mao Family Workshop. The news that Anhua and Yuelu Academy were about to poach made the county magistrate Xu feel the crisis. Besides, Mao Geng Wenyuan's suspicion had turned into a big deal, but the big deal was nothing. Originally, County magistrate Xu wanted to come forward to invite Mao Geng back in person, but after all, it was out of Xinhua territory, so he specially asked Mr. Luo as the representative to invite Mao Geng back.

After much persuasion, Mao Geng agreed to return to Xinhua, but Mao Geng did not plan to go back to Baixi Guanxue. For the sake of development, Mao Geng decided to go to the other side of the land he had divided in Youxi. The water resources there were much stronger than here, and there was a house in the Su family there. I guess Su Zhiyan would be justified in that Su family house. In that case, she could meet every day.

The plan has been decided, Su Zhidao and Su Zhiyan take the lead, Mao Geng cleaned up, and then arrived straight to Youxi the next day.

Unexpectedly, Mao Geng slept hard that night, but a group of people sneaked into the Mao workshop without knowing it. Then Mao Geng was taken away by the group of people in a state of confusion.

The next day, Mao Geng woke up and saw a group of strange Yao people beside him.

One of the guys who looked like a leader had an exaggerated peacock fur on his head. This guy had a tiger-back and a bear-back, a fierce look on his face. Another gentle and thin guy fucked the duck's voice and said with a slutty look:

"Mr. Mao, there are some offenses, and some offenses. If you offend Mr. Mao, don't mind! This is the Lord of the Dazhai of the Lai Family, the heroic Lord of the Lai Dong. This time, Mr. Mao specially invited Mr. Mao to be the military advisor of our Lord of the Dazhai and the military advisor like Jiang Ziya and Zhuge Kongming."

Mao Geng cursed in his heart, "Damn it! What kind of bad copycat are you doing? Did you do the headhunting operation like this? I was so confused and tied up. Is there anyone who hired a military advisor like this?

Even if you scold, you can't help but laugh.
