However, the little brute girl didn't want to lose others, so she took out a large handful of silver from her pocket: "These have thousands of taels, they are my own, and I don't have the money of these dead big money, clean, do it at public expense!" The old lady took away these loot, anyway, you have to pretend to be benevolent and righteous when you put them here, you won't want them, I don't hack others, and others will hack them! ”

"It's not too expensive." Kong Rao secretly asked the little brute girl for a pill and a ginseng with a thick arm, which were worth tens of thousands of taels to offset the loot, she knew that Zigong only needed about two hours to refine a furnace of Guji Dan, and then use time to make a comparison, the little manniu's elixir needed to spend thousands of taels of money to buy, which was equivalent to earning hundreds of taels.

Although Cai Guo's recruitment is like a beggar running around and toiling, the hardest is only the kind of people at the bottom, but the net worth of the strong people in the Creation Period is not expensive, and it can be guessed from the popularity of these people in the Great War, this time to kill the masters of the Creation Period, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets alone, and the rest of the medicinal materials and various materials are countless.

To the surprise of the little brute, Confucius, who had benefited from the First World War, actually suggested: "Little brute, why don't we choose a place with dangerous terrain to set up an ambush and fight bandits to serve the people?"

It seems that this Confucian sage is very ambitious for the country and the people, the little barbarian shook her head and said: "The master is not afraid of the dangerous terrain, the master's idea is not advisable, besides, we are not familiar with the distribution of the bandits' sphere of influence, and the information we bought is also not accurate, and the danger of robbing the local bad guys is too high, and it is not cost-effective."

"So what do you say?" Confucius was anxious to get money, and this time he was trapped between Chen Cai and ran out of silver, for the Confucian saint who talked about pomp, what should he do without silver? It has reached the point of rushing to the doctor for a sudden illness. Raising her face and looking at the sky, after thinking for a long time, the little barbarian said: "It's better for us to rely on begging all the way according to Zigong's method, anyway, there are three more experienced recruits from Cai Guo by our side." It's not impossible for them to play the bad guys and force people to pay! ”

"Begging?" Confucius's face suddenly darkened, and his heart was extremely awkward. "Isn't your old piano very good! Earning some money for serving others is the income of labor, in the past, your old people were free, because of the abundant assets, now there is no money, and it is good to collect some fees, if you don't want to, just look at it! "The little brute girl doesn't force it.

A day later, when she came to the north bank of Huaishui in the south, Xiao Manniu really sent Confucius and the three of them to start repeating the last show, changing three places in one day, and the materials that the recruits forcibly begged for added up to a few hundred taels or so, which shows that begging is a very rich profession, and it is safer than fighting bandits, and ordinary masters will not rob Cai Guo's recruits at all.

Confucius saw a business opportunity, at least better than his hard work as a teacher, and then he played the piano with peace of mind, and he didn't know whether others appreciated it or not, and he still had a share of self-indulgence.

The experiment made Confucius tempted, and the little barbarian girl said: "Old man Kong, your father and daughter will take that senior brother to show off their talents, which is also a lofty profession, and you can also take advantage of the situation to promote your old education and the rule of etiquette, and we will take a few surrendered soldiers to forcibly beg, what's the matter?"

"There is still a long way to go for us to continue south, and it is still very difficult to find opportunities to make money. It is simply impossible to promote the rule of etiquette and music in the metropolis and level the world! It is relatively safe to live in the city, and the master rarely dares to make trouble in the city, and if he finds that someone does not give a sponsorship fee, he will use the messenger jade slip to send me a coordinate, and I will bring someone to come as soon as possible to forcibly collect it, and ensure that the master has money to spend. ”

"Okay!" Confucius was a little worried, but he always lived a lot of grades, and the talent of governing the country with etiquette and music was said to be begging, not to mention the awkwardness in his heart, it seems that it is not easy for this tribute to make money. Zigong is a bright guy, but he values money too much, although he is still a talent, he has rich social experience, and he can deal with general problems, as long as he can make money, it is worth taking risks temporarily.

After that, all the way south, there is no risk, with Zigong here, money is not a problem.

So Confucius sent Zigong to Chu, Zigong left some silver for Confucius, and then took the little barbarian girl away, saying that he moved the king of Chu Zhao to go to the border to welcome Confucius, until Confucius arrived in Chu, only to understand that the king of Chu Zhao ordered his courtiers to lead the army to rescue Chen Cai's doom, and then welcomed Confucius to the state of Chu.

After a period of time, Confucius and his entourage drove a carriage into the border of Chu, and what they saw along the way found that the southern Chu country was different from the northern countries, and even very different. When King Chu Zhao came to pick him up, Confucius put on a decent and gentlemanly appearance, the mat was not set upright, and the meat was not cut well and was not eaten.

Zilu saw that Confucius was so picky, and he didn't understand it, so he asked Confucius: "What is the difference between the Master's behavior when he was trapped and now?" Confucius replied in a sneering manner: "When I was in trouble, my master respected me for stealing my life, and now it is time to give a lecture on etiquette, of course, I must pay attention to it." “

King Chu Zhao was very happy when he saw Confucius, and planned to give Confucius a fief, so he asked Ling Yin Zixi how to do this, Zixi was shocked when he heard this, and persuaded King Chu Zhao not to do this: "King, there is something wrong with this, that old man Kong is too powerful, and none of his disciples are fuel-efficient lamps!" Don't want it, this kind of bull breaking character, what are you doing with him a fief? When the time comes, let him put on strong wings and fly, will you still have a way to live? ”

"I can't help the wolf with my reluctant child, how can I make the saint do things for me willingly without spending some money?" Why do you want to send fiefdoms? This is the reason for reality.

Then let's take a look at the historical and ideological reasons, Zixi's next words hit the weakness of King Chu Zhao: "This Confucius did the same thing as King Wen of Zhou and King Wu, if he succeeds, if King Wu fights, you King Chu Zhao still have to bow down and be a vassal, where is there still such a majesty that sits on thousands of miles and is king in the south." ”

King Chu Zhao thought about it, so he dispelled the idea of giving land to Confucius. It didn't take long for King Chu Zhao to hang, and Confucius had no chance to enter politics. But it doesn't matter, it can also promote the rule of etiquette and music, and can recruit disciples in Chu, so he is full of confidence to promote his own Confucian knowledge in Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, a cultural power at that time.

The mountains and rivers here in Yingdu are beautiful and the people are simple, and the scenery is picturesque, so that this large number of disciples can enjoy it unobstructed. When Confucius was fine, he watched the farmers toiling hard in the fields, and when he was okay, he was raising cattle and sheep in the mountains, playing the elegant shepherd flute. The Xiangjiang River is twists and turns, and the river water is crystal clear. Ancient trees and bamboo shade cover the sky; Hear the sound of chickens and dogs, or hear the melodious sound of the piano echoing in the air.

All this shocked Confucius and his party, the south is graceful, the north is atmospheric, since ancient times, the style is completely different. The main reason is that the north has always been the center of the Central Plains, and the change of political power has made the war continuous and the people suffering.

The stability of the south allows people to work intensively, and it is a school of its own in art, different from the rough atmosphere of the north, Confucius began to be full of awe of everything in the south, so they took the initiative to go here to collect the folk style, communicate with the villagers here, and found that both men and women here are very knowledgeable, and they are the first to speak!

Unlike the north, it is very remarkable to be able to recognize a few words, and even a farmer who has just returned from farming has a common language, and a few words of conversation make his own lofty sages and sages admire.
