Today, a rare customer came to Lao Liang's silk shop, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Lao Liang, have you heard?" What kind of sea and sky banquet is the emperor going to have, and I heard that the invitees are all dignitaries and dignitaries in the city. ”

Lao Liang said mysteriously: "Shhh, be quiet, I have also heard, the news is absolutely reliable, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I am ready, I will definitely be able to see the sky when the time comes." ”

But the man said, "You don't brag, I don't know what your identity is?" Not to mention that there are five people and six people in front of people, but in the final analysis, he is still an inferior businessman, even if most of this Jinan city is your industry, but since ancient times, I have a cheap status as a businessman, not to mention the Son of Heaven, even the small Zhizhou is rare to see each other, and today's saint is what you want to see? ”

Lao Liang twisted his beard and was very confident: "You don't know this, my distant nephew is a member of the governor's family, and the news came from him, can there be a mistake?" ”

The man's eyes lit up: "Could it really be a play?" Big brother, how about I bring my brother when the time comes? ”

Lao Liang's eyes rolled, he got the inside information, the quota for the banquet was not given, but bought with money, he was ready to buy an extra quota at that time, sell it again, and make a difference, so he generously said: "That's natural, but you also know that this day is hard to see, and there is a lot of silver up and down." ”

"This little brother naturally understands, old brother rest assured, as long as he can let the little brother see the sky, no matter how much money he spends, he will not hesitate to spend more money!"

However, in the end, Lao Liang did not earn this money, because soon the news that the emperor was going to open a feast in Jinan City, nominally to appease the people and spread the kindness of the Son of Heaven. In order to be able to see the face of the sky, the giants and gentry broke their heads and wanted to go to the banquet, and they almost trampled on the threshold of the governor's house with generous gifts, just to get a place. However, Governor Zheng Yuqiao came forward and said that the number of places was limited, and if he wanted, he had to auction it. As for what is an auction, you can go to the largest restaurant in Jinan City, Wangyue Tower.

After Wang Jian disguised himself, he sat on the highest top floor of the Moon Tower, with a dazzling array of delicacies in front of him, Chen Yao'er and Chen Qi'er stood behind him obediently, only Chen Yuanyuan was eating food by himself, completely treating him as air.

Looking at the bustling crowd downstairs, Wang Jian was very happy: "Haha, no matter what dynasty, everyone is virtuous, and fame will make profits, the emperor's name is the same as the stars of later generations selling their own products, they are all businessless transactions, what you like me is what you want, what you sell is fame!" ”

After entering the city for several days, Wang Jian was busy meeting with officials of all sizes in the city, especially the governor Zheng Yuqiao. Ming robbery is definitely not good, that is Dolgon and Li Zicheng's method, since Ming can't do it, he can only come to Yin, so there is a beginning.

"Hey, you eat less, you're getting fat!" Seeing that after a while, only the last piece of meat in the jar on the plate was left, and Chen Yuanyuan still stretched out his chopsticks to clamp it, Wang Jian hurriedly stopped.

Chen Yuanyuan was unmoved, quickly picked up the piece of meat and put it in his small mouth, and looked at Wang Jian provocatively. Wang Jian was angry for a while, and she also competed with her for the food in front of her, and the two of them were very happy to eat.

At this time, Zheng Yuqiao's old housekeeper came upstairs and saw the two fighting for food, and his face was stunned: Is this person really the emperor? Isn't it a hungry refugee dressed in disguise? With a question mark on his face, he said carefully: "Your Majesty, this is the booth deposit obtained from the auction, a total of more than 100,000 taels." ”

This stall silver is also a method that Wang Jian came up with, he arranged the seats in the auction venue according to the advantages and disadvantages of the position, A, B, C, D, and the fourth class, and the prices were 5,000 taels, 2,000 taels, 1,000 taels and 500 taels. Although the seat has nothing to do with the result of the final auction seat, but it still can't stand people's comparison psychology, just imagine, in the past, the people who were on an equal footing with you in the auction sat in the first class, eating melon seeds and drinking tea, and the last 500 seats you bought, standing at the very back, what is it like? Can you buy a seat without spending money?

So before the auction started, Wang Jian earned him a sum first.

Yao'er behind her obediently rubbed her mouth full of oil for Wang Jian, took the bill and handed it to him, Wang Jian glanced at it, in fact, he couldn't understand it, he just pretended to hide the embarrassment just now.

He turned his head to look at Qi'er and asked, "The person I asked you to find, have you found it?" ”

Chen Qi'er said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, this person is in the White Deer Academy." ”

He nodded with satisfaction, the auction house only started in the evening, it was still early, and he said to the old butler: "Take me around this Jinan city and see the scenery in this city." ”

The group soon got out of the Moon Tower, walked on the streets of Jinan City, and felt the different local customs from Jingshi. With the emperor hunting in the south, the news that he personally led the troops into the city spread to the streets and alleys of Jinan, whether it was a dignitary or a peddler and a pawn, there was no panic when the displaced people flocked to it a month ago, and there was a thriving scene everywhere.

Jinan City is worthy of being the most cultural city in the land of Qilu, there are four academies alone, and Wang Jian and others unknowingly came to the White Crane Academy, which is recognized as the first in learning by the scholars in the city.

Chen Yuanyuan saw that Wang Jian's destination was the academy, and out of instinctive disgust for the academy, she quietly left halfway.

At this time, the academy was holding an annual "debate" competition, the so-called "classics" in the debate are the four books and five classics of the Confucian classics, all the students of the four major colleges can put forward their own opinions on the differences in the classics, and the first place in the debate will win the title of the first academy for the academy. The White Crane Academy has won for five consecutive years, which has also become a legend in Jinan City, and the creator of this legend is a woman - Wang Qianqian, she is the granddaughter of Jinan professor Wang Xiangjin, who debuted at the age of eleven, and has not tasted defeat so far. Legend has it that this woman is constantly peerless in appearance, and her talent is as bright and transparent as brocade, so she has won the name of brocade. Maybe the entire Jiangbei scholars don't know who Wang Qianqian is, but they must all know the name of the brocade book, and even the scholars in the capital have heard of it.

At that time, Tang Yin and Qinglou singers sang the song "Fishing Boat Singing Evening" became a swan song for the ages, and it has been talked about by the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River to this day. Later, Chen Yuanyuan, a peerless enchantress, came out, which made the Jiangnan scholars crazy, but unfortunately disappeared a few years ago. And the scholars of Shandong also have their own legends, that is, the brocade book - Wang Qianqian.

Qinqi calligraphy and painting, qinqi and chess are important arts, and calligraphy and painting are important. The two also became the troubled times of the Ming Dynasty: Jiangnan Pipa Song, Shandong Jinzhong Book.

Wang Jian stood in the crowd, listening to the scholars of the four major academies talking and lacking interest, when he suddenly felt that someone was calling him.

The crowd slowly parted, and a figure was squeezed out of it, and this person was John Tang. It turned out that Wang Jian respected him very much, was very courteous, and sent a special person to escort him to Jinan City, he heard that this is the most cultural place in the city, today there are many scholars here to debate the scriptures, so he ran over early in the morning, thinking that in the influence of the scholars, the development of the line, the future of the preaching road will be much smoother. He saw Wang Jian, so he ran over, not wanting to be blocked outside by Zheng Yuqiao's family.

Wang Jian motioned to let him come over, and as soon as he ran to Wang Jian, he vomited bitterness: "Your Majesty, you people in Huaxia are too difficult to handle." Unexpectedly, he has been in Daming for several years, and he has learned the common "god" word of Daming: engage.

Wang Jian heard what he said funny, and asked curiously: "Oh, doesn't Yuanyuan like Jesus very much?" You didn't talk to her? ”

Tang Ruowang said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, Miss Chen admires my lord very much, but she is just curious and wants to listen to the story of the minister." A few days ago, every day I grabbed the minister to tell her the story in the Bible, as soon as the minister let her join the church, she said that my lord was weak, and was actually crucified, how she Taoist Taishang Sanqing how the magic is vast, not only can move mountains and reclaim the sea, but also turn stones into gold, and let the minister convert to her Taoism. ”

Wang Jian smiled knowingly, and then realized that he didn't know where Chen Yuanyuan had gone for a while. Wang Jian comforted: "Well, Yuanyuan is different, the things she has experienced may be thicker than your Bible, you go and try other people, such as these sentient beings, are waiting for you Pudu." ”

Tang Ruowang sighed and said: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, the ministers have finally developed a few believers after breaking their tongues, but they never thought that they were still reading the Bible with me the day before, but the next day they went to the City God Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha!" ”

Wang Jian couldn't help but smile when he heard this, mainly because he didn't want to hurt the hearts of the devouts, he used to watch his favorite movie "Caribbean Islands" series, and found an interesting phenomenon: the British would plunder resources when they discovered a new continent, while the Portuguese were just for missionary purposes.

He understood John Tong's depression too well: like Christianity, Islam is monotheistic, and the people believe in only one god, so their beliefs are pious and firm. Unlike the Chinese people who believe in polytheism, there are hundreds or thousands of gods in a sect, and people are used to entering the temple when they see it, and worshiping the gods when they see them. And it is very difficult to fool wise Chinese people to join the religion, because we believe in you, you have the spirit, it works, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, you get out. The Chinese people are even so realistic about God, and the purpose of praying to God and worshiping Buddha is very strong.
