The teacher had been waiting outside the door. When he heard Liu Hu's call, he rushed in immediately and asked anxiously, "Master, are you looking for me?"
"Well, let me ask you about the relationship between a ruler and his subjects. Why did you write 'each acting in his own way'? Instead of being wholeheartedly loyal to the court?" Liu Hu pointed at one of the lines of words and asked.
I don't understand the teacher's intention. Since ancient times, if the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die. The teacher actually wants to rule his own country. Isn't this shaking the foundation of Daqian?
The teacher felt a little embarrassed when he heard Liu Hu's question. After all, before Liu Hu appeared, he had indeed devoted himself to the court and was willing to work for it until his death. But since Liu Hu came, how could the entire court have any credibility?
Everyone tried to curry favor with Liu Hu for their own future, and the atmosphere in the court became chaotic and there was no trace of benevolence and righteousness.
But if I tell the truth, Liu Hu will definitely be furious. When I didn't know Liu Hu's identity, I might have said something bad about him, but now that I already know Liu Hu's identity, how can I dare to say it directly?
Seeing that the teacher was in a difficult position, Liu Hu said bluntly: "Just say it directly. I'm not that stingy."
The teacher looked at Liu Hu's expression and couldn't tell whether what Liu Hu said was true or false.
"Do you think that Daqian is currently experiencing undercurrents and its future is uncertain, and that Zhiruo and I have a very close relationship. Once you teach her to work for Daqian, it may lead to a swordfight between Zhiruo and me in the future?" Liu Hu knew that if he did not say anything, the teacher would not dare to speak directly, so he spoke first.
When the teacher heard Liu Hu's blunt words, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "I dare not, I dare not."
In fact, what Liu Hu said was exactly what he had considered. After all, Hua Ying had specifically told him before that if he taught Zhiruo according to normal thinking, it would easily make Zhiruo dislike Liu Hu, so he decided teach according to his own ideas.
Liu Hu shook his head. The teacher's intention was good, but Liu Hu felt that this kind of goodness backfired.
Sighing, Liu Hu continued, "In fact, officials are not loyal to anyone, but to help the people seek welfare, make decisions for the people, and work hard for the long-term stability of Daqian. If they serve the emperor alone, wouldn't they become the thugs of the imperial power?"
The teacher had never thought about this problem. After all, the education he received from childhood to adulthood told him all the time that he must become an official when he grows up, because only by being an official can he have a promising future.
When he grew up, he realized that being an official was for making money and gaining status.
It was not until now, after listening to Liu Hu's words, that the teacher understood that being an official might be to rule for the people and to establish one's mind for the world.
The teacher felt ashamed after hearing this, lowered his head, and didn't know what to say.
Liu Hu was not in the mood to continue blaming the teacher, so he continued to read page by page. After a while, Liu Hu had an understanding in his mind.
The teacher does have some real talent and knowledge. He answered all the questions I asked fluently. Although there are some minor flaws, overall it is still good.
After reading, Liu Hu put the book away and asked the teacher, "How is Zhiruo doing? Has she gotten into trouble?"
No matter what one's identity or status, one always cares more about one's children and has long lost much rationality.
After hearing Liu Hu's question, the teacher quickly replied, "You are quite smart and will learn it quickly."
After hearing this, Liu Hu knew that it was not good. The so-called smart ones are those who rank last in the exam, and the ones who can talk about what they have learned are those who have not learned at all.
"Hey, does she owe a lot of courses?" Liu Hu wanted to know how much Zhiruo knew so that he could tutor her properly.
The teacher pondered for a while and didn't say anything.
The number of courses that Zhiruo owed could no longer be described as "many". It should be said that Zhiruo had never attended any class. She would just get by if she could, and accept the punishment if she couldn't.
Among all the students, Zhiruo was beaten the most, and because of Huaying's previous instructions, the teacher did not dare to punish Zhiruo too harshly.
Seeing the teacher's expression, Liu Hu knew how Zhiruo's homework was going. He sighed and said, "Tomorrow, I will give Zhiruo extra lessons and will not come to study."
"Okay, okay." Being taught by Liu Hu personally is something many people dream of.
If possible, the teacher would like Liu Hu to teach him, but he is too old to ask for it.
Moreover, even if he opened his mouth, Liu Hu might not be willing to teach him.
So the teacher could only nod to show his agreement.
Seeing what the teacher meant, Liu Hu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
"As long as you behave well here, I will naturally give you an official position when the time is right."
After saying that, Liu Hu ordered Ah Si to take the books and leave the teacher's house. The teacher looked at Liu Hu's back and trembled with excitement.
You know, Liu Hu's words are more effective than those of the current emperor. After realizing what was happening, the teacher quickly chased after him and sent Liu Hu to the gate.
When Liu Hu got on the carriage, the teacher was particularly attentive and opened the door curtain for Liu Hu. He nodded and bowed to Liu Hu and said, "In this case, thank you for your trouble."
Because of the presence of outsiders, the teacher did not dare to directly reveal Liu Hu's identity and could only express it in this obscure way.
Liu Hu nodded without answering, and then directly ordered Ah Si to drive the carriage.
The guards who had stopped Liu Hu before, holding their injured arms, asked in confusion, "Sir, who is this person? Why did they ask you to come and see him off in person?"
You have to know that the teacher is usually very arrogant and doesn't care about any powerful people, so now seeing the teacher's behavior, it is natural that they don't understand.
The teacher looked at the injured guard and scolded him, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about, or you may end up in a fatal disaster."
"Next time this guy comes to our place, no matter what I'm doing, call me out immediately. Do you hear me?"
The guard listened to the gentleman's words and nodded quickly, but still a little worried: "Sir, if you are sleeping, should we also call you?"
"Even if I'm sleeping, even if I'm hanging myself, you still have to carry me here to pay my respects to this person."
The teacher said with regret that what he had said was clear enough, so why was the security guard still so disappointing and couldn't understand what people said?
The guard saw that the master was angry, and nodded in agreement quickly. He secretly memorized Liu Hu's appearance in his heart to avoid any mistakes in the future.
Liu Hu returned home with so many books. Hua Ying happened to be there. Seeing Liu Hu coming back with so many books, she admired him very much.
Liu Hu is already so busy, but he still finds time to study. He is truly my idol.
"Boss, don't be too tired. Relax more when you have nothing to do." Hua Ying took a book from Ah Si and said in embarrassment after reading it for a while: "Boss, is this all ?"
In her opinion, these books were really childish, and she didn't believe that Liu Hu didn't know how to do them. She couldn't understand why Liu Hu suddenly wanted to learn these things.
"These are Zhiruo's courses. I will study them and tutor her personally tomorrow." Liu Hu naturally knew that these books were a bit simple, so he began to explain.
Hua Ying immediately understood Liu Hu's intention and said with a smile, "Parents in the world are pitiful. Boss, it's really not easy ."
After understanding the purpose of these books, Hua Ying had no intention of continuing to read them, so she accompanied Liu Hu into the inner hall.
After entering the inner hall, Liu Hu sat in the middle. He did not pick up the book to read immediately, but looked at Hua Ying quietly.
Huaying has been busy these days. She came back suddenly this time, so there must be something going on. So Liu Hu was not in a hurry at all and waited quietly for Huaying to speak.
Hua Ying would not be polite to Liu Hu. Everything was going smoothly for her now. Although she did not have Liu Hu's reputation, the foundation Liu Hu left for her was really good.
It’s so good that many people are elites in various fields, and they don’t need to do anything, they immediately understand what I mean.
Hua Ying hesitated for a moment, looked at Liu Hu and whispered, "Boss, I want some people."
"How much?" Knowing Hua Ying's character, Liu Hu naturally would not easily agree to Hua Ying. After all, the last time he asked for some money, it was really not just a little.
A full five thousand taels of gold! In the entire Daqian, no one except himself could afford it.
Hua Ying saw Liu Hu's cautious intention and said with a chuckle, "Not many, I only need 500 people."
"Huh?" Liu Hu asked back. Five hundred people didn't sound like a lot, but he absolutely didn't believe that Hua Ying would come to find him because of five hundred people.
There is a gap between 500 people and 500 people. After all, the difference between 500 ordinary people and 500 martial arts masters is not small.
"The bank is about to open, and I guess the three royal merchants may come to cause trouble. The people I have are good at collecting intelligence, but I still need a lot to ensure their safety. That's why I thought of asking the boss if he could transfer 500 Green Guards to protect our bank." Hua Ying knew that she could not get the upper hand from Liu Hu, so she told the truth.
Liu Hu stared, and said word by word: "Do you know how many people there are in the Qingyi Guards? You actually said 500 people. No, I can't agree to this."
Although the Qingyi Guards are relatively free, everyone has his own responsibilities. Once these 500 people are sent to protect the money house, chaos is bound to occur.
Hua Ying also knew that what she said was a bit far-fetched, so she said tactfully: "I am just starting out, and there are too few people who know martial arts under my command, and many of them have not been tested, so their loyalty cannot be guaranteed. That's why I want to borrow some from you. Don't worry, give me some time, I will definitely be able to protect myself."
"No, absolutely not." Liu Hu did not compromise on this matter and directly refused.
