Chapter 579: Gaining the Trust of King Qi Wei

Zhuangzi gave a detailed explanation on the issue of the development of the population in the tunbian area and the development of the population in the hinterland.

He came from the Song Kingdom, and saw the situation of the Qi State with his own eyes along the way, and felt that the Qi State could develop a large population. The land of Qi is fertile, just! Water conservancy construction has lagged behind. In order to keep up with the water conservancy construction, it is still possible to expand a lot of fertile land.

For example, like the lacquer garden, the development of water conservancy can expand so much land. Take the Qiyuan as an example, the population of the Qiyuan is probably the most densely populated place in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Such a small place can live tens of thousands of people. And Qi country! If there is so much land like a lacquer garden, how many people will there be?

After talking about population development, Zhuangzi expressed his views on business development.

When it comes to the business model, Zhuangzi didn't dare to move his father-in-law Bai Gui out, but! Bring out Rong'er who is sitting next to him and use Rong'er as an example to explain.

Qi Jun, who was later King Qi Wei, was even more satisfied with Zhuangzi after hearing all of Zhuangzi's explanations.

Meantime! The eunuch came over and whispered to Qi Jun that the people he arranged had prepared all the gifts for Rong'er's wedding, and handed over the gift list.

Qi Jun looked at it and was very satisfied, so he asked the eunuch to hand the gift list to Rong'er, and instructed people to quickly send the gifts on the gift list to Rong'er's house.

Rong'er took the gift list, looked at it, was so frightened that she couldn't do it, quickly got up, came to Qi Jun's desk and knelt down, kowtowing more than once.

"King! King! King! Woowoo woo ......"

After reading the gift list, Rong'er didn't dare to accept it.

She heard that the gifts on the gift list were equivalent to the wedding gifts of the king when the nobles of the Qi Kingdom got married. There is almost no fief left for her. If the fief is given to her, then she will be a royal princess.

Zhuangzi didn't see the gift list, and Rong'er didn't have time to show it to him. Seeing Rong'er's anxious appearance, I knew that there must be too many gifts and too valuable. Out of courtesy, he also got up and stepped forward, knelt beside Rong'er, and did not speak.

Qi Jun looked at Rong'er and smiled: "Rong'er? Is it that the widow didn't give you a fief? ”

"King! Woooooo ”

Qi Jun's face changed and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"King! Rong'er can't afford it! King! ”

"You're refusing it, aren't you?"

"King!"

Rong'er wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Qi Jun.

"Say no more! You! Rong'er! has made such a great contribution to our Qi country, the king has given you this little wealth, not much! Rong'er! Don't shirk it anymore, or the widow will be unhappy! Get up! ”

Rong'er not only contributed to the economy of Qi State, but also because of her cleverness, she made bamboo patterns and was appreciated by Qi Jun. But! Rong'er's kindness!

When he heard for the first time that Rong'er had adopted so many abandoned girls, Qi Jun was so moved that he wanted to cry. As a generation of Mingjun, I know that I have not done enough. There are many people who live in misery, and he does not take care of them, which is the immorality of a king!

When the eunuch saw that Qi Jun had spoken, he hurriedly stepped forward, persuaded Rong'er to get up, and scolded Zhuangzi: "Why don't you help Rong'er get up and sit down?" ”

This eunuch is a very shrewd person, and he appeared at the right time.

Zhuangzi answered, quickly helped Rong'er up, and returned to his seat.

In desperation, Rong'er had no choice but to accept the gift list.

Seriously! With so many gifts, there should be several cars, right? She couldn't put it down at home. It's true!

After talking for a while, all the princes and their husbands also went back. Tian Ji and Sun Bin were also ready to leave, but they were left behind by Qi Jun and asked them to accompany Zhuangzi and Rong'er to eat together.

Dinner! Qi Jun was not ashamed to ask, and asked Zhuangzi many things about governing the country.

Zhuangzi combined with what he saw in the territory of Qi, did not dare to fool, told the truth, and put forward his own opinion.

Qi Jun listened and was very satisfied.

"Stay! Zhuangzi! If you don't want to be an official, I won't force it. Whatever you want! If you want to be a gentleman in Jixia Academy, you can be a gentleman for my children and grandchildren! Whatever you want! ”

"Thank you for your kindness! As the inheritor of Taoism, Zhuangzi preached the Tao as his life's work. ”

"What are you?" Qi Jun's face sank and asked, "Refuse to be a widow?" ”

"Don't dare? Zhuang Zhou didn't dare! ”

"And what are you?" Qi Jun softened his face and said, "You are preaching in the Jixia School Palace, it's the same?" Jixia School Palace, gathering talents from all over the world, is it a good place for you to preach? Again? You? I heard! You drove Meng Ke and Meng Caizi away? You? You've got to let us have a few pillars in the Academy? You? ”

Zhuangzi said with a smile: "Meng Ke Meng Caizi is talking about Confucianism, he should be a representative of Confucianism, right?" The understanding of Confucianism is very good. But? ”

"But what?"

"But! Confucianism is only suitable for promotion in the heyday, and in troubled times, Confucian theory cannot be implemented. Confucianism is not a salvation theory, but a theory of governance. Specifically, it is just a method of governing the prosperous world, and it is just a method of governing the world. My master once said: In troubled times, soldiers are used, laws are used to govern the world, Confucianism is used in prosperous times, and Taoism governs the heart. So! It's not a pity that Meng Ke and Meng Caizi are gone! ”

"Oh?"

Zhuangzi smiled again and said: "Confucianism says: If you learn and excel, he just wants to come to Qi to be an official." Meng Ke and Meng Caizi only saved a certain vassal state in the Great Zhou world, not the entire Great Zhou world! ”

"Oh?"

"And what our Taoists saved is not only the Great Zhou world, but the entire world!"

"Oh?"

When Qi Jun invited Zhuangzi to a banquet and asked Zhuangzi to stay in Qi State, the guards in the palace began to change their guards.

The new guards had a good impression of Tian Gongzi, and Tian Gongzi once gave him a few pieces of silver. So! He relaxed his restraint on Tian Gongzi.

Tian Gongzi saw the change of guard and thought that the opportunity might have come. Outcome! It really came true, and he seemed to know one of the two guards he had changed. In the process of communication, he realized that he had given him silver, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.

Really! At his request, the guard agreed to let one of his henchmen in.

This follower has been waiting outside for an opportunity, and his hard work has really paid off, and he really waited until it got dark.

"What's the situation? What's going on out there? Tian Gongzi couldn't wait to ask.

"Childe! Woooooo The attendant cried on the spot. Son! Something big has happened! Woooooo ”

"Say? What are you crying about? The sky is falling and there is Ben Gongzi, what are you crying about? ”

"Childe! Zhuangzi was invited to the palace by the king. ”

"Huh?"

"Childe! I just heard that! I heard that Qi Jun trusted him very much, and planned to keep him as an official in Qi State. He was also invited to a banquet in the evening, and General Tian Jitian was also asked to accompany him. And also! Sun Bin is also accompanied! Tian Gongzi? This one? Zhuangzi he? What the hell is he? He? He? He? ”

Tian Gongzi hurriedly said: "What the hell is going on?" You said? You start from the beginning, from the side of the Jixia School Palace? What's going on over there at the Jixia Academy? ”

He didn't know anything about what was going on outside since he pretended to be sick.

The attendants talked in detail about the gentlemen and students in the Jixia School Palace holding up banners saying "Zhuangzi is not welcome to preach", and how those people outside the Jixia School Palace formed a team to denounce Zhuangzi, and later those people went crazy for no reason, and the people who patrolled the camp also became inexplicable, and the matter of Qi Jun inviting Zhuangzi into the palace.

After hearing this, Tian Gongzi sat down on the ground completely. His eyes were glazed, the muscles of his face writhed, and he looked like he was crying.
