With a sound of going down, the civil and military officials scattered one after another, of course, many people's eyes were all on Zhou Fan's body, such a parrot that can speak human words, who doesn't like it, but they and Zhou Fan are just general friends, where would they be embarrassed to ask for it.

As soon as Zhou Fan stepped out of the hall, he was directly stopped by two people, and he didn't have to think about it, naturally it was Zhou Yi and Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi grabbed Zhou Fan and scolded sharply: "Yuanyang, how can you give such things to Your Majesty, doesn't this make Your Majesty's playthings even more demoralized and stay away from the government!" ”

This Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was originally lazy, addicted to wine, and unwilling to preside over the government, and now Zhou Fan gave such a thing to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, doesn't this further encourage him to have such an atmosphere, which is absolutely intolerable for a loyal minister like Lu Zhi.

If it weren't for the fact that this parrot was sent out by his own apprentice, I'm afraid that he, Lu Zhi, would have stopped it in front of him just now.

Zhou Fan sneered and asked rhetorically: "Teacher, do you think there is a difference between me sending this parrot and not sending it, for Your Majesty?" ”

"This ......"

"Or teacher, do you think that without this parrot, Your Majesty can become diligent in court politics?" Zhou Fan continued to ask.

“……”

"Or do you think you have a way to persuade Your Majesty to give up that parrot, give up indulging in wine, and then be diligent in government all day long?" Zhou Fan asked again.

Lu Zhi was completely silent, and a trace of bitterness couldn't help but flash in his heart.

How could he not understand what Zhou Fan said. What kind of person Emperor Han Ling is, he couldn't be clearer.

In the past, there were countless old ministers who constantly dissuaded Emperor Han Ling, wanting him to concentrate on the government, but all of them were useless, and many people paid for their lives.

Although he Lu Zhi is a servant, what is the use of that, Emperor Han Ling will not listen to his advice at all, on the contrary, I am afraid that it is more likely to be annoyed and angry.

"That's true, but you can't add more fire!" Lu Zhi said a little unwillingly. In his opinion, even if they can't make Emperor Han Ling change his mind, they can't fan the flames, this is already his bottom line.

"The student knows it's wrong." Zhou Fan said with a smile: "But please rest assured, teacher, this time I sent this parrot for some of my own purposes, and I won't do it again in the future." ”

"Purpose, what other purpose do you kid have, I know that it's definitely not good for you kid to raise these parrots!" When Zhou Yi heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted angrily.

Zhou Fan laughed: "It's nothing else, it's just that I've been short of money recently, and there are still twenty parrots at home, and I just want to sell them to make some money!" ”

No matter what time it is, it's not okay if you don't have money. Not to mention the future, let's just say that now, there will be more places to use money. In your own space, there is a huge vacancy, you don't necessarily have to rely on yourself to grasp it, so it is estimated that you can't get it to death. So at present, the only way is to rely on money.

Although Zhou Fan's family is also rich, they definitely can't afford Zhou Fan's toss like this, and he doesn't want to use the family's money all the time. So where does this money come from, it is undoubtedly the best way to support business with business. And this parrot was his first income. I believe that after Emperor Han Ling's trouble today, this talking parrot is definitely worth double.

"Make money!" Lu Zhi and Zhou Yi shouted out in unison, with shocked expressions on their faces. They never thought that he, Zhou Fan, would actually give such an answer.

Lu Zhi looked at Zhou Fan with a somewhat strange face, and said, "Yuanyang, you want to do that businessman's thing?" ”

Zhou Fan glanced at Lu Zhi lightly and shook his head helplessly.

Shinong industry and commerce, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there is no doubt that this merchant is definitely the lowest status, most people, especially those scholars, the most despised are those merchants who are full of copper smell.

Zhou Fan also expressed his understanding of this, after all, the atmosphere is like this. But what he didn't expect was that even Lu Zhi, a great Confucian in the world, had such thoughts, which really disappointed him.

"The teacher looks down on the merchant?" Zhou Fan asked rhetorically.

"......" Lu Zhi was silent and did not speak. Although he thought so in his heart, he would not say it so clearly.

Zhou Fan took a long breath and said: "I also know that in the eyes of most people, those businessmen are people who forget their righteousness when they see wealth and are unkind to the rich, but I have to say that most of the businessmen are good people. You can't beat a merchant to death with a stick because of some pests. ”

"Scholars are officials, peasants grow grain, workers work, and merchants do business, all of them rely on their own skills to live, where there is no difference between high and low. What's more, if there are no merchants, teacher, where do the clothes on your body and the food at home come from, do you have to go to the peasants and workers to collect them yourself? ”

Lu Zhi and Zhou Yi were breathing at the same time, to be honest, most of their disdain for businessmen was influenced by the atmosphere, and they didn't really study it in detail.

However, listening to his Zhou Fan's words today, I couldn't help but have a feeling of being sudden. There are scum among the merchants, but are there no among the scholars, peasants, and workers? It's all based on their own skills, hard-earned money, hard-earned money, and where do they come from.

"Haha, stinky boy, what you said is right, what about doing business, you are making money by relying on your own skills, and this money is also comfortable to use." Zhou Yi laughed. As his Zhou Fan's Lao Tzu, he was naturally the first to support him.

Lu Zhi looked at the father and son with some tears and laughter, since he was forcibly apprenticed that day, he found that the father and son were really not ordinary.

"Forget it, I can't talk about you, Yuanyang can do what you want." Lu Zhi shook his head and said helplessly.

Zhou Fan smiled and said, "Don't, teacher, how can you say that I am also your student, don't you support me?" ”

Lu Zhi suddenly raised his eyebrows, glared at Zhou Fan fiercely, and shouted angrily: "What, do you want me to follow you to do business?" Although he did not object to Zhou Fan going into business, it was naturally impossible for him to put down his body and do this businessman's business.

"Teacher, are I ready for that apprenticeship?" Without answering Lu Zhi's words, Zhou Fan directly asked a question that was not related to the wind and horses.

Lu Zhi was also stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Fan to ask such a question, but he still replied: "It's all right, just five days later, the invitation has been sent out, and my friends will come, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to take advantage of that day to sell those parrots together!" Zhou Fan said with a smile.

With Lu Zhi's identity, the people invited are not big officials, big Confucians, they are rich businessmen, and the most important thing is money, how can you miss such a good opportunity.

"You bastard, since you want to sell parrots while the apprenticeship is coming!" Lu Zhi roared angrily, the old man with a curled beard was taller.

"Teacher, don't be angry?" Zhou Fan hurriedly laughed and said: "Isn't it just right, I won't be in trouble anymore, and with this parrot, the specifications of this apprenticeship ceremony are definitely a higher level." ”

Seeing that Lu Zhi still looked reluctant, Zhou Fan added another fire, leaned into Lu Zhi's ear, and whispered: "And I will definitely surprise you with the teacher at that time, and I will definitely make the teacher have more face!" ”

"Huh? Are you telling the truth? Sure enough, after listening to Zhou Fan's words, Lu Zhi was also a little tempted. Didn't he hold this apprenticeship ceremony just to let everyone know that he accepted such a good apprentice as Zhou Fan, to increase his face, and by the way, let others know him Zhou Fan, and now Zhou Fan's words are undoubtedly on his heart.

"Naturally, it can't be fake!" Zhou Fan hurriedly reassured.

"Ahem!" Lu Zhi coughed twice and said, "Only this once, not an example!" ”

"Students understand!" Zhou Fan looked at Lu Zhi amusedly and said respectfully.

Immediately, Lu Zhi showed a satisfied smile, and he didn't say anything, followed the Zhou Yi, and strode out of Nangong.

Zhou Fan also hurriedly followed, but his eyes skimmed to He Jin, the general who had just gotten into the carriage on the other side, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
