Chapter 85: Do you respect money?(1/2)
Outside the gate of Zhenguo Mansion.
A carriage stood outside the door, and in front of the carriage stood three people, standing quietly without any intention of moving their feet.
The three people are of different ages. The youngest has gray hair and is about fifty years old. The oldest has snow-white hair and is estimated to be older than the Duke of Zhen Guodu.
The people watching were all whispering.
"This carriage seems to be the carriage given to Duke Zhenguo by the emperor!"
"What are the identities of these three old men? Are they worthy of being picked up by this carriage?"
"The temperament of these three people is somewhat like that of scholars. I seem to have never heard of such people in Kyoto."
"I just heard someone say that these people are famous scholars from other countries. Look at the young people behind them, they seem to be their students."
Listening to the discussion, the three old men remained motionless, but their expressions were a little impatient.
At first, people from the Zhenguo Mansion came to invite me, and they were very happy.
They came to the deserted country just to relax, experience the exotic customs, and take care of family business.
After all, although there are still some strange raw materials for spices in the desert country, the people in the desert country are backward in processing spices, so they can just buy them at low prices, return to the country to make spices and sell them at high prices.
Now many businessmen have noticed the business opportunities in it, so the more people come to the deserted country to purchase goods, the raw materials have also increased, so they have to take advantage of the past few years to quickly occupy the market.
Although their status in their respective families is not particularly high, they are still respected by those who are sent abroad. They don't have to deal with many things personally, but they have a lot of free time.
It just so happened that the Zhenguo government came to invite the gentleman, and he received more than three hundred gold in ten days, which was equivalent to their profit for a long time.
You can earn astronomical amounts of money just by giving some random advice, so why not?
Besides, the student he wants to teach is Zhao Hao, who has become famous in the desert country.
Although his poems are all about love and love, his literary talent is indeed amazing. If he becomes a talent after being taught by himself, it will be a great thing to leave his name in history!
Moreover, the recognized genius of Huang Country wants to be our disciple!
Doesn’t this mean that the deserted country is inferior to us?
Therefore, they agreed to this matter.
Unexpectedly, after hearing about this incident, many young people from the tribe and even other countries came over and told them about Zhao Hao's glorious deeds last night, and they immediately became angry.
Dahuang Ritian?
Boundless literary talent?
Amazing talent?
Crush the Central Plains?
Arrogant!
How arrogant!
It has only been a few years since your country was founded. Have you taken off your barbarian hat?
I just compared a few poems with Qi, and now I feel like I can compete with the Five Kingdoms?
You are crushing the Central Plains because you are a dandy who can only write poems for women?
The so-called Great Wilderness cultural context is nothing more than gaining the crown by bathing in monkeys!
If you dare to shout this slogan today, will you dare to ride on our heads tomorrow?
Without exception, these gentlemen were all very angry.
But after all the money has been collected, this trip to Zhenguo Mansion is coming anyway.
As for whether they can invite us in, it all depends on the sincerity of the Zhenguo Government.
"Mr. Fang, you must vent your anger for our Qi country!"
Fu Gui stood behind the old man who was leading the group and said with great indignation.
He was seriously injured last night, but with Qi conditioning and good bruise medicine, he has almost recovered now, but even so there is still a bruise on the bridge of his nose.
The old man in front of him was named Fang Yiru, and he came from a scholarly family in Jin Dynasty.
Fang Yiru's grandfather was once the emperor's tutor. Although he did not produce any particularly impressive literati in this generation, he was fortunate to have made outstanding achievements in business, so he still enjoyed a high status in the Jin Kingdom.
Although Fang Yiru himself was just a scholar, everyone said that he was burdened by his family business, so he was not interested in fame, and his status was far higher than that of ordinary scholars.
Besides, we are now in a deserted country.
Why can't the scholars of the Jin Kingdom be equivalent to the Jinshi of the Huang Kingdom?
Fang Yiru smiled slightly: "Don't worry! We, the five countries of the Central Plains, are in the same spirit and are so wild. How can I allow him to be so arrogant?"
Although one of him and Fu Gui were from Jin and the other from Qi, and they had just met each other, they were as close as a family at this juncture.
The words just fell.
The door of Zhenguo Mansion made a "squeak" sound.
Everyone took a closer look and found that a family of three had come out.
The black-faced Han walked directly in front of the three of them.
The tall and majestic body and the powerful momentum made the three scholars take a step back.
The aura of General Shenwu is not something that mere scholars like them can resist!
"you……"
The black-faced man's voice was filled with anger, but he had just finished speaking when he felt a sharp pain in his waist and quickly took a step back.
Turning around, he saw Bai Xiu giving him an angry look.
A polite smile appeared on Bai Xiu's face, but his eyes were neither happy nor sad. He looked at the three of them and said, "It's really hard for these gentlemen to come all the way! But why are you standing in front of the door and not coming in?"
The three old men looked at each other, and finally Fang Yiru took a step forward.
Although his fame is not the highest, overall, the Fang family has the highest status, and the literary world of Jin is comparable to that of Qi, so it is most appropriate for him to come forward.
Fang Yiru folded his arms in front of his chest and said with an arrogant expression: "If a person hopes that his descendants will be virtuous, but does not respect his teachers, he will only want to nourish his body but will end up damaging his food and clothing."
Bai Xiu couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
When the people of the deserted country who were watching saw this scene, they also started whispering.
"Looking at this old man's attitude, there seems to be something wrong!"
"That's right! The Zhenguo government invited him here to show off to them. Who are you showing off by showing off your condescension?"
"By the way, what does he mean by this string of words!"
"I don't understand. It's not a nice thing to say anyway."
Hearing these words, Fu Gui couldn't help but sneer: "Don't you people in the desert country study? What this sentence means is that you want your children and grandchildren to make a difference, but you don't pay attention to the role of teachers. It's like taking care of your own body, but
It’s like not wearing clothes and not eating!”
Hearing these words, the people all looked at you angrily!
"Fart! Duke Zhen Guo sent all his carriages out to pick up Mr. Why don't you respect your teacher?"
"I'm sorry to you! If these three old men are really educated, why don't they become officials in your own country?"
"That's right! They've all been reduced to doing business in our barren country, so what's the point of doing this?"
"I know this bitch! Didn't you get soft in the brothel yesterday? Why are you getting hard again now?"
Fu Gui's expression changed: "You are the ones who fart! You are the ones who fart!"
Those young literati saw that the situation was not good, and they all supported Fu Gui.
For a time, there was great commotion in front of the Zhenguo Mansion.
Fang Yiru looked at Bai Xiu condescendingly with a stern look on his face.
There was an attitude that Bai Xiu would never invite them into the government as teachers unless he gave a reasonable explanation.
Bai Xiu frowned slightly.
I didn’t expect these people to show off like this after receiving money, and directly accuse themselves of not respecting their teachers?
yes!
The wilderness country has always been regarded as a barbarian by the five countries of the Central Plains?
But what are you guys?
Bai Xiu suddenly felt a warm and thick hand on his shoulder, and the black-faced man's voice rang in his ears: "There is no need to reason with these dogs! Close the door and let Hao'er go!"
Zhao Hao: "..."
He looked at the angry crowd and was slightly moved in his heart.
Thanks to Brother Fu Gui, he has never let me down!
This guy clearly heard "hands are like catkins and skin is like gelatin" yesterday, but he still secretly started things, making the literati from the four countries think that they had done their best, and made it clear that they wanted to see both sides lose.
Unfortunately, this wishful thinking was too early.
To be continued...
