Gou Becomes a Boss in the Fairy World

Chapter 1459: Tempering the Heart in the Mortal World (III)

Early morning, Tongluo Lane.

The morning light shines on the roof beams, and the first drum sound is heard when the door is opened.

The sound of reading can be heard again in Wang's private school, which is located at the end of the alley.

The people living in the same alley have become accustomed to it. Several naughty children jumped out of their homes and ran to the door of the private school with flexible steps, looking inside with curiosity.

There are also bold little guys who directly come to the windowsill of the school, tiptoeing stealthily, peeping through the open window, and are quickly attracted by the content of the teacher's teaching.

Unconsciously forgetting the passage of time.

In front of the podium, Wang Chen picked up the brush and dipped it in lime water, and wrote the word "mountain" on the self-made blackboard.

"This word is pronounced as shan, the mountain of the big mountain, the mountain of the mountains and rivers."

Not only that, he also used a pen to depict the picture of the peak of the mountain range, so that the students sitting below can more intuitively grasp the meaning of this word.

This is also a teaching method pioneered by Wang Chen, a skill that other teachers definitely don't have.

Writing mountains and painting mountains, painting seas of books, the combination of pictures and texts is vivid and interesting.

The effect is naturally excellent.

A group of children followed and recited: "Mountains, big mountains, mountains of rivers and rivers!"

The childish voices accompanied the morning light, creating a unique scene.

Wang Chen then taught two more characters, and then asked the students to recite and recite in accordance with the "Thousand Characters".

He walked out of the classroom with the scroll in his hand.

The children who were hiding under the windowsill and peeping were suddenly startled, and fled in panic, each like a frightened rabbit.

Only a child about ten years old did not run away, and knelt down in front of Wang Chen with a plop: "First, sir, I want to study, please accept me as your disciple!"

This child was dark and thin, with ragged clothes and messy hair. At first glance, he was the kind of poor child who could not get enough food.

Qing'an County is not a very wealthy place, and such children are quite common on the streets.

Wang Chen asked calmly: "What's your name?"

The dark and thin child mustered up the courage to look up and answered: "My name is Ergou, and my surname is Chen."

It is normal for poor people to have cheap names, Wang Chen didn't care, and asked again: "Then can you take out the tuition?"

Chen Ergou obviously knew what tuition meant, and immediately took out three copper coins from his pocket and presented them to Wang Chen with both hands: "This is all I have, can I owe it to you first?"

"I promise to pay it back later!"

His eyes were full of uneasiness and desire for learning!

Wang Chen reached out and took the three copper coins covered with mud: "That's enough, you can go to school from tomorrow."

"But you have to clean yourself up, you can't enter the school like this!"

Chen Ergou was overjoyed and kowtowed to Wang Chen in a hurry to thank him: "Thank you, sir, I will definitely clean myself up!"

"Chen Ergou is not a nice name."

Wang Chen thought for a while and said: "My students cannot be without a proper name, so you will be called Chen Yijian from now on."

"The poorer you are, the more determined you will be, and you will never lose your ambition to reach the sky!"

Chen Ergou was stunned.

He had never been to school, so he didn't quite understand the meaning of this name.

But in his body, a surge of blood suddenly surged, rushing straight to his forehead and excited beyond control.

"Yijian, my name is Chen Yijian!"

Chen Ergou muttered his new name, and his dark and thin face flushed red.

He suddenly kowtowed three times to Wang Chen: "Thank you for the name, Mr. Chen, I will never forget your kindness in this life!"

Wang Chen smiled slightly.

He accepted Chen Ergou as his student and gave him a name, but it was not a sudden outburst of kindness.

Although he sealed his own Tongtian cultivation, Wang Chen's soul consciousness was still extremely powerful.

??????55.??????

His eyesight is also incomparable to that of ordinary people.

This Chen Ergou has the aura of a snake and python, and is the fate of a hero in troubled times!

Of course, having a fate does not mean that you can achieve extraordinary success. There are many geniuses who died in the middle of their lives.

But since he met him, Wang Chen didn't mind making a move on him.

Whether there will be gains in the future or not, it doesn't matter.

So the fact that Chen Ergou from the Chen family entered Wang's academy as a student quickly topped the hot search list in Tongluo Lane.

Chen Ergou, now called Chen Yijian, lives at the east end of Tongluo Lane. His father died early, and his mother worked hard to support him and his younger brother by weaving cloth. Naturally, his family was very poor.

However, it was not easy to make a mess. A year ago, Chen Yijian's mother became blind due to overwork, which made the already difficult family even worse.

At a young age, Chen Yijian had to take on the responsibility of life and try his best to make money to support his family.

Despite this, he still had the heart to study!

After the news that Chen Yijian enrolled in Wang's private school spread, people in Tongluo Lane and several nearby streets knew that there was such a private school that was willing to accept poor children as students.

So everyone came to the door.

Wang Chen accepted everyone.

Although these families could not come up with any decent gifts, at most a dozen copper coins, or a bag of rice, a piece of bacon, a hare, etc. to make up the number.

But Wang Chen did not mind and treated these students equally.

As a result, the classroom of Wang's Academy was soon filled with students, so that latecomers could only stand outside to listen to the class.

However, trouble soon arose.

On this day, Wang Chen was in class when two uninvited guests suddenly came to the door.

One of them shouted fiercely: "Stop talking, come out and talk!"

Scared the children in the school and made them cry.

Wang Chen frowned, comforted the students, then walked out of the school and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

"I am a tax collector in Qing'an County. Someone reported that you opened a private school here."

The ferocious-looking guy asked with his nose up to the sky: "Then have you paid taxes?"

Wang Chen shook his head: "I have never heard of paying taxes for opening a private school!"

"This is the rule of our Qing'an County."

The tax collector said confidently: "Unless you have a good reputation, you must pay taxes!"

"I have a good reputation."

Wang Chen calmly showed his academic certificate.

A diploma is a document proving the honor. Although Wang Chen has never participated in the imperial examination, it is not difficult to buy a scholar's academic certificate - as long as you have enough silver and find a suitable broker, you can do it!

Wang Chen's certificate of learning was of course genuine, and he spent a full two hundred taels of silver.

"A scholar from another place?"

The tax collector sneered: "That won't work. People from other places must have the title of Juren to be exempt from taxes!"

This is deliberately making things difficult!

Wang Chen knew it clearly, and he didn't argue with the other party, and asked: "Then how much tax do I need to pay?"

"Ten taels a year!"

The tax collector opened his palm and flipped it: "Not even one tael less."

"Okay."

Wang Chen nodded, went to his room to get ten taels of silver and gave it to the other party: "This is this year's."

"You know what's good for you."

The tax collector smiled triumphantly, winked at his companion, and then walked away.

Wang Chen looked at the two people leaving with an extremely indifferent look.
