Chapter 47: Respect the sages and hope for the thirst of the plum

Sunrise Suishan (now Taipeng Mountain), the mountain is cloudy and mist, stretching continuously, the red sun slowly rises from the clouds and mist, its beauty is self-evident, how can Gongzi Qi miss such a beautiful scenery? Out of Pengcheng alone climb to the top of Suishan Mountain to watch the sunrise, looking at the mountains in the clouds, sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, the bird song in the forest is the rhyme of nature, it is so wonderful, it is so pleasant. "Where to fly from the sea mountain, between the two high white clouds." The second verse summarizes the beauty of this mountain, Gongzi Qi stood at the gate of Chaoyang Cave and looked into the distance, thinking that it was not until sunset that he went down the stone path from the east gate to the west mountain.

In the evening, Gongzi Qi arrived at Li San's house and stepped forward to stand in front of the gate. Li San opened the door and found Gongzi Qi standing at the gate, so he welcomed Gongzi Qi into the house.

"Childe," Li San showed surprise when he saw it.

"Please forgive me for the interruption."

"Childe is polite, you love us people so much, and we try unjust cases for us, we don't know how to repay you?" Li San, Gongzi Qi entered the house and called the embroidery girl to eat for Gongzi Qi.

"I'm from the countryside, and every day it's coarse tea and light rice, please don't mind."

"I will eat whatever the people eat, and when the people are rich, our country will be rich and powerful," Xiuniang brought a bowl of baked cakes and a bowl of porridge to the table, put them in front of Gongzi, and stood beside herself. Gongzi Qi looked at them and said, "What are you still standing for?" When they are all hungry, they eat together and chat together. ”

Li San and Xiuniang sat aside, Gongzi Qi moved a bowl of baked cakes to the middle and took out the paper and said, "Li San, who wrote this complaint to you?" ”

"It seems that a gentleman named Zhang Ji wrote it to me, he said that the son was virtuous and asked me to go to the county government to complain."

"Zhang Ji, are you sure it's him?"

Li San hesitated for a while, and said affirmatively: "Yes, it's Zhang Ji, I heard him say that his name is Zhang Ji." ”

"Where did you see him?"

"The mountain temple of Suishan."

"Suishan is far away from Pengcheng, can you take me to meet this person tomorrow."

"Childe, it's not too late, I'll prepare an empty room, rest early, and the grass people will take you there early tomorrow morning."

"I'm sorry."

At sunrise, Gongzi Qi and Li San rushed to Suishan and entered the mountain temple, but Zhang Jiqi was nowhere to be seen. Li San stood stunned and looked at Gongzi Qi, not knowing what he should say? It was a little guilty, Gongzi Qi walked out of the humble mountain temple, still calm.

"Li San, it's not your fault, the sage must have a sense of arrogance, but the sincerity is not enough, and he hides it."

This time, it can be said that Gongzi Qi returned in vain, entered the Pengcheng County Ya, and went to the back hall to gather Gongsun Zichou, Chen Zizhen, Meng Zhongzi and other people to the back hall. Gongzi Qi sat at the desk in the hall, and Gongsun Zichou, Chen Zizhen, Meng Zhongzi, as well as the county magistrate and the county lieutenant sat in two rows to discuss some things.

"Childe, why didn't Zhang Ji go down the mountain with you?" Gongsun Zichou stepped forward.

"When I arrived in front of the mountain temple, I found that this person had already left," Gongzi Qi just shook his head and sighed, looking a little cursed.

"What kind of thing is Zhang Jihe, Gongzi respects him so much, treats him so sincerely, he still doesn't receive Gongzi's favor, this person doesn't understand human feelings, so rampant I led some brothers to arrest this person and kneel in front of Gongzi to make amends," Xiong Ganglie was angry at this time, and strode forward and said.

"Childe, I agree with the eldest brother's opinion, Childe, such a person is so arrogant that he doesn't need to be so respectful, my eldest brother and I will arrest him," the second stunned man stood next to Xiong Ganglie and said.

"The two of them are reckless, but all talented people have a sense of arrogance, we just need to treat each other with sincerity, and people with lofty ideals from all over the world will pour into our country," Gongzi said calmly to Xiong Ganglie and Erzizi. Because Gongzi Qi knows that although Xiong Ganglie and Er Stunned have rough personalities, they will only listen to them if they explain the truth or the severity of the matter, and it can be said that Xiong Ganglie and Er Stunned Childe Qi knows everything about their psychological activities, because their personalities are more straightforward and will not hide anything. So Gongzi said: "Although these two people were born in the grass, but there is no class, as long as there is continuous learning, continuous improvement mentality will learn and succeed." Now Gongsun Zichou is your husband, and he will teach you some etiquette and some practical knowledge, such as the art of war. ”

"Childe values us so much, don't dislike us for being born recklessly, we will swear allegiance to Childe."

"You only have to be loyal to this country, and I will be satisfied if you are loyal to the people."

After Gongzi Qi finished saying this, Gongzi nodded with a smile and said: "The people are precious, the society is secondary, Mr. Jun Weiqing's benevolent ideology Gongzi has done it, Gongzi, if these two people are on demand, they will definitely become wise generals, as long as I teach them according to their aptitude, I will not pay Gongzi's trust." Gongsun Zichou turned to face Xiong Ganglie and Ertunzi, his hands arched in front of the Confucian ceremony, Xiong Ganglie and Ertunzi looked at each other, saluted back, and then saluted Gongzi together, Gongzi Qi stood up and saluted in return, and sat down. Gongzi Sun was ugly, the two were stunned, Xiong Ganglie retreated to his original position and sat down to look at Gongzi Qi.

"I gather you here today because there are a few things to talk about, human sacrifice is against righteousness, slavery has been abolished today, all civilians, including slaves, belong to the people of Pakistan, so as to embody the virtue of God's good life, human sacrifice and human martyrdom is against heaven, heaven and earth, ghosts and gods are not tolerated, our ancestors will also feel ashamed because of this, and there will be no peace in heaven. Only by abolishing this, worshipping ancestors with pigs and cows, and replacing burials and other ceremonial utensils with living utensils, such as jade or stone carvings, can we reflect the will of heaven and develop along with the sky, and the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods can bless the long-term peace and stability of our country. As soon as slaves are abolished, the population of the various states and counties will increase, so the only way to re-measure the land of the whole country, distribute it uniformly, reclaim the wasteland, and collect taxes according to the actual situation of the number of people, this time it will first be implemented in all states, counties, and counties of Pengcheng, with Pengcheng as a model, and then this reform measure will be implemented within the scope of the whole country, what objection do you have? ”

After Gongzi Qi finished speaking, he looked at everyone quietly, and everyone expressed their approval of Gongzi's measures and had no objections.

Gongzi Qi said to Chen Zizhen: "Senior Brother Chen, you will draft this reform charter, and three days later, you will gather Pengcheng Prefecture Minister, County Guard, and County Commander to discuss the implementation plan at this government. ”

"Yes," Chen Zizhen said, standing up.

Gongzi Qi called out of the county and said: "Lord Yong, Zhang Ji is a person who values fame and fortune, I don't think he will leave easily, you go and check the scope of his activities, such as tea houses, restaurants, and other places to stay." ”

"Your Highness, Zhang Ji has recently become obsessed with a woman in the Green Mansion in Cuiyue Tower, and I think he will definitely linger around Cuiyue Tower. Xia Guan also heard that Zhang Ji still owed the owner of an inn opposite Cuiyue Tower for food, and he would definitely be near this hotel. ”

"Where is this inn? Take me there. ”

Gongzi Qi and County Cheng walked into this inn and went upstairs after dressing up. At this time, Zhang Ji was drinking a big bowl of tea at the tea stall next to this inn, looking at the person walking in front of him into this inn, this person has a good appearance and an extraordinary temperament, and he didn't see Gongzi Qi in the mountain temple last time because he wanted to test whether Gongzi Qi was sincere, whether he was virtuous and cherished talents, and he had been hiding in the dark to observe Gongzi Qi's attitude towards it. Therefore, it was determined that the young man who was wearing a white wide coat and a white turban wrapped in long hair on the top of his head, and fluttered down with him was Gongzi Qi. After Gongzi Qi and Xiancheng walked into this inn, they swaggered in, but they were blocked at the door by the shopkeeper.

"Zhang Ji, what are you doing again?" The shopkeeper stepped forward.

"I'm here to see a nobleman."

"What nobleman? When will you pay back the silver taels you owe," the shopkeeper didn't believe Zhang Ji's words a little and sneered.

"How about returning it as soon as I see this nobleman?"

"Look at your poor sour appearance, there is a noble person who will talk to you, I'm sorry, this is not welcome to you, you should meet your noble person elsewhere."

"Do you look down on people, dodge," Zhang Ji's face was a little angry, and his tone was even tougher.

"Also, isn't it arrogant, I just won't let you do anything?"

Gongzi Qi heard the noise downstairs, went downstairs and stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, how much silver taels does this Gongzi owe you, I'll help him pay it back." ”

"I said he was my nobleman, but you still don't believe it." Gongzi Qi just smiled, took out the silver taels from his arms and handed them to the shopkeeper, looked at Zhang Jihou and said, "He is indeed my friend, and he also asks the boss Haihan." ”

The shopkeeper nodded the silver in his hand and said, "Childe, there are too many, there is no need for so much." ”

"You don't have to look for it, it's more to do business and turn around."

Zhang Ji looked at the silver taels in the shopkeeper's hand, snatched some knife coins from the shopkeeper's hand and said, "If there are more, bring them." ”

"You, you," the shopkeeper's eyes widened, but he had nothing to say, only sighed deeply and said, "This Zhang Ji, I don't know what shit luck I stepped on." ”
