Volume 1 Jinghua Smoke and Clouds (I) Chapter 20 The Wine Fairy Treatises
Jiuxianju, on the third floor, literati and artists are all sitting on the ground, and there are many heroes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the topic of today's debate is, is it appropriate to relax the business restriction order?"
I saw that in the center of the crowd, an old man with silver hair, his small eyes seemed to be unable to open, but his eyes were like paint, exuding the light of wisdom. He asked, holding the scroll in his hand.
The words were loud, everyone scrambled to be the first, raised their hands to speak, and in an instant, several scholars had already made pointers and passionate words.
Wu Jingmo pulled Lu Chengfeng to find a corner and sat down, and explained with great interest:
"Brother Chengfeng, what a coincidence! This is the famous Xu Mengzhang Xu Laofuzi, who is not only a scholar of Hanlin University in the current dynasty, an official worship of the prince, but also a famous Confucian. How many people did not hesitate to come from afar in order to listen to his lectures. You see, during today's banquet, there are many scholars from the north end and the south who are eager to learn. ”
"So, is this where Old Master Xu lectures? Why did you choose this restaurant instead of the college? Lu Chengfeng said in confusion.
"No, no, no, this is a special place for the prince to taste tea. In order to recruit talents, the prince held a debate here, inviting everyone to sit and discuss. Every ten days, each debate topic is different, but it is closely related to the current situation and politics. Whoever wins in the discourse will be treated as a guest of honor by the prince and recommended to His Majesty. ”
"Oh, no wonder there are so many people! Is Old Master Xu here to preside over the discussion for the prince? ”
"The prince will indeed send someone to preside over the situation, but Old Master Xu rarely comes. Some people are lucky, and when they come, they just happen to meet the presence of Da Confucian, and they can get his allocation, and some people wait for months, but they encounter him who is ill, and they have never seen him once, after all, Old Master Xu is a little old. That's why I said, good luck for the wind brothers! ”
"I think I'm a mascot!" Lu Chengfeng laughed at himself, he deserved to be a person who had taken shit luck, he was able to pick up the happy event of the emperor's grandson, a pie in the sky, and as soon as he entered Beijing, he could also meet King Xuan, Old Master Xu and other nobles, and he also made a friend of Wu Jingmo, well, there is a lot of money.
"The ancients said that the farmers were the last and the merchants. Lifting the restriction order on businessmen is the way to encourage businessmen, isn't it a move to abandon the basics? ”
"That's right, chasing the way of businessmen is to be blinded by monetary interests! It is really a short-sighted view, and it must not be used as my Yasukuni policy! ”
"The ancients wanted to know the difficulties of the crops, and the way of the Sgai Guigu was also the way to do it. The husband's food is the people's heaven, and the people can't live without food. If there is no grain for three days, the father cannot coexist. Plough it, hoe it. Harvest, load, and whisk. Dustpan Yangzi, where a few hands into the warehouse, Encore light farming and expensive end of business! ”
Lu Chengfeng listened attentively, and everyone present was overwhelmingly opposed to the measure. All those who spoke emphasized emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and putting agriculture first. Lu Chengfeng yawned when he heard it, and a bird was about to fade out of his mouth.
He thought to himself, sure enough, he has crossed into a feudal society, and people's eyes are staring at the crops in that one-third of an acre, and the country has not yet been opened and the mind is emancipated!
At this moment, a woman lifted the corner of her skirt, climbed the stairs, and pushed open the hidden door on the third floor. I didn't see him, but I heard his voice first.
Just listen, she said, "If you don't come out of farming, you will lack food, if you can't work, you will lack work, if you can't do business, you will have three treasures, and if you can't do it, you will have little wealth." There is little money and the mountains are not clear. These four are the origin of food and clothing for the people. Therefore, it is not a matter of abandoning the basics. ”
The people sitting on the floor were about to open their mouths to refute, but when they looked up, they were all frozen in place. was originally a tense and imminent debate, but suddenly, everyone stared at her as if they had fallen into the demon law, unable to speak.
After a long time, a teacup fell to the ground with a thud and shattered. "Immortals, fairies descend to earth!" I only heard the exclamation from the man's mouth, staring at the woman with stunned eyes.
Lu Chengfeng followed the gaze of everyone and saw that the woman looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a face like a crown of jade, picturesque eyebrows, and a fairy Roland purple skirt, like a cluster of fragrant lilacs, draped in the bright moonlight. Even the bright moon in the sky, the brightest stars, can't compare to this girl's peerless appearance!
The woman was a little shy by everyone's staring, and her face was slightly red, like a pure and flawless mutton fat jade, dyed with a touch of purple and red.
It's the first time in my life to see such a stunning beauty!
Lu Chengfeng only felt that the deer in his heart was beating wildly, as if he was enchanted, he got up slowly, and his footsteps couldn't stop moving towards the woman, and he slowly chanted in his mouth, "Moth snow willow golden wisps, laughter and dark fragrance." The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”
The woman was also stunned, stretched out her hands and made a "stop" gesture, as if suddenly like a night of spring breeze, the peach blossoms on her face began to bloom, delicate and breathtaking.
"Riding the wind on the lower road, can you have the honor of listening to the name of Miss Fang?" Lu Chengfeng bowed deeply to him.
"If you can win this argument today, I will speak to you." The girl is colorful, the red glow blooming on her face disappeared in an instant, and the panel that was specially put up is another beautiful realm, with a cold and frosty beauty.
"No problem!" Lu Chengfeng clapped his hands, turned to the crowd, and talked eloquently:
"The world Confucianism does not notice, and the industry and commerce are the end, and they are vainly discussed. The husband and the worker solidify what the holy king wants, and the merchant makes him want to come out of the way, and the cover is also the same. There are those who sell goods for Buddha, those who sell goods for witches, those who sell goods for worries, and those who sell goods for strange skills and tricks, all of which are not conducive to civil use. However, those who prosper the people and enrich the source of wealth often make tens of millions of dollars of money use, and the circulation is endless. The husband wants to fix what the holy king wants, and the merchant makes him want to come out of the way, and he covers all of them. Therefore, the prosperity of commerce and trade is a major policy for the benefit of the country and the people, and it should be widely promoted by the whole country! ”
Everyone was stunned, and when they thought about it, this statement was very reasonable, and for a while, no one refuted it!
"Well said!" Old Master Xu took the lead in applauding, and his love for talent came spontaneously, and he said with a smile, "This little boy is young, but he can have such a shocking opinion. Presumably, it must be a great talent, but it can be of great use! I don't know which son? ”
"He is the son of the crowned king, and the emperor's grandson rides the wind!" Wu Jingmo also cheered loudly, and when he heard that the Great Confucian was willing, he proudly reported his name.
"It turned out to be a grandson! I am in great peace, and the future is promising! Old Master Xu folded his hands on his chest and said reverently.
He was a little embarrassed, he just quoted the words of the sages, it seems that the liberal arts students of the 21st century are not carrying books in vain! At the critical moment, it still works! Especially for the sake of Beauna's smile, even if I am asked to tell a story here for three days and three nights, I am willing!
"Sir, can I be considered to have won today's argument?" Lu Chengfeng bowed modestly three times to the old master Xu, and couldn't wait to ask.
"Of course!" Old Master Xu smiled approvingly. He smiled, and the two little eyes bent into two slits, and they became smaller.
"Miss, can I tell me your name now?" Lu Chengfeng bowed deeply to the girl again.
But I saw the woman holding the corner of her skirt, turning around in a hurry, and running away like a panicked little elk.
Lu Chengfeng stretched out his hand to grab it, but only caught a gentle evening breeze, and there seemed to be the scent of lilacs in her hand.
