Chapter 251: Recognition

Sima Zheng and Pang Degong are both great Confucians, although Huang Chengyan is friends with these two people, but compared with these two friends, his fame is much smaller, because he is just a celebrity.

The difference between a celebrity and a Confucian is a bit like the difference between a local tycoon and a family, one is only famous in a certain area, and the other is in the entire Han Dynasty, Huang Chengyan is a famous man in the land of Jingxiang, out of Jingzhou, there are fewer people who know him, and Sima Zheng and Pang Degong are much better.

As far as Lin Bei knows, there should be four Confucians in the world, one is Cai Wenji's father Cai Yong Cai Bojiao, one is Zheng Xuan, and the other two are Sima Zheng and Pang Degong, there may be others, but Lin Bei doesn't know.

Huang Chengyan also knows the fame of his two old friends, so he still remembers Sima Zheng and Pang Degong's evaluation of the bicycle.

In addition, because of the large number of orders from some candidates, bicycles are also likely to replace military horses and become the mainstream mode of combat on the battlefield, and the era of cavalry is likely to be gone forever, and both have given bicycles quite high praise.

However, what puzzled the two Confucians was that bicycles were so important, why Zhen's firm would throw out this kind of item and sell it on a large scale, and they couldn't understand it, these two Confucians also bought two bicycles, and they had to ride them for at least half an hour every day, and they praised this thing more than once.

Now that Huang Chengyan heard that the bicycle was not from Zhen's firm, but made by the Dragon God in front of him, Huang Chengyan was really surprised, and at the same time, he couldn't help but be puzzled in his heart: "Lord Dragon God, the bicycle is also a strange thing, why did the adult sell this thing through the Zhen family?" ”

"Strange things?" Lin Bei looked back at Huang Chengyan. "I don't think so, it's just a small thing, which is not better than a bicycle, a steam carriage or a tank chariot?"

Seeing the stunned look on Huang Chengyan's face, Lin Bei really felt sour in his heart, this kind of faint pretending/forcing feeling is really cool, what is a sense of superiority. That's the sense of superiority.

Huang Chengyan could only smile bitterly, he had to admit that this Dragon God's words were really right, compared to the steam carriage and tank chariot, the bicycle was indeed only a small thing, so he didn't care about taking it out.

"But the small gadgets in your eyes are very popular in the Central Plains, and even the two Confucians attach great importance to it, and it is difficult to be curious" Huang Chengyan was a little uncomfortable, feeling that the gap between them was too big.

Lin Bei saw Huang Chengyan's face. He also asked: "Cheng Yangong, why is your face so ugly?" ”

Huang Chengyan could only smile bitterly because he didn't know what to say

Soon, the group arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and only Huang Chengyan could enter, and his entourage naturally had other people to entertain, in addition to Lin Bei, there were also Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi who accompanied the guests.

Huang Chengyan finally calmed down. Because he thought that it was obviously not worth competing with a dragon god, Huang Chengyan became free again after calming down. "Lord Dragon God, this City Lord's Mansion is really huge, but it matches Lord Dragon God's awe-inspiring divine body."

"At that time, it was built to fit my size, so the architectural style is a little strange, come, please come inside."

Lin Bei naturally still sits in the main seat. The first place on the left is Bian Ji, the second is An Zhongzhi, and the right is Huang Chengyan. What is in front of you is just the meaning.

"Lord Ryujin, these two?" Huang Chengyan asked.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce to you, this is Bian Ji Bian Xuezhi, the dragon god envoy of my Great Power Dragon King Sect."

"Bian Xuezhi, a late student, has seen Cheng Yangong."

"This is An Ping'an and Zhongzhi, who used to be the pavilion chief of Xishan Township under the jurisdiction of Hepu, and now they are all the right-hand men of this lord."

"An Zhongzhi has seen Cheng Yangong."

Huang Chengyan took a closer look at Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi, Bian Ji didn't know what he used to do, but he looked like a scholar, but this An Zhongzhi was quite interesting, he was just the head of a pavilion before, was he an official? Huang Chengyan didn't think that the pavilion chief was an official anyway, but now he was in a high position, and he was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of him.

"These two are really lucky." Huang Chengyan sighed in his heart, look, this is the benefit of finding a good piece of wood, you can rise to the top, although I don't know how powerful this Pavilion Chief is at this time, but if he can be relied on as his right-hand man, the status must be very high, and at the same time, Huang Chengyan's heart moved.

"Now Wanghai City seems to have very few talents."

Most of the situation in Wanghai Xu Shu said, Huang Chengyan knew that there were more than 50,000 people in Wanghai City at this time, but now there are only these two people who can appear in front of him, except for the dragon god, there must be not many talents, in this case, if there are talents added, then it will not be reused immediately?

Huang Chengyan was silent after seeing that he had finished introducing people, and Lin Bei gestured to Bian Ji, who nodded and raised his glass: "Chengyan Gong, Chengyan Gong is coming from afar, please drink this cup and feel tired." ”

Huang Chengyan hurriedly picked up the wine glass, gestured to Lin Bei, and found that Lin Bei did not mean to drink, Lin Bei smiled: "Chengyan Gong is still free, this adult eats a lot and doesn't drink much, so please forgive me, I'm just accompanying guests today." ”

Hearing this, Huang Chengyan was a little moved, and looked at Lin Bei deeply: "So, the old man thanked the adult." ”

After Huang Chengyan drank the wine, An Zhongzhi also raised a glass to him, Huang Chengyan did not refuse, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

After the three rounds, Lin Bei spoke: "Yuan Zhi wrote a letter some time ago, and in the letter, he said that Gong Chengyan had taken care of him, Master, and then I would like to pay tribute to Gong Chengyan, and Gong Xie Chengyan would take care of his feelings. ”

Huang Chengyan hurriedly said: "Yuan Zhi is very knowledgeable, and now he is under the door of Mr. Shuijing, when it comes to taking care of him, the old man is ashamed." ”

"Gong Chengyan is polite, Yuan Zhi will definitely not be wrong, Master, I will give Gonggong Chengyan another drink."

Huang Chengyan is also massive, and he still doesn't change his face after pouring so much wine.

"The people of the Central Plains are outstanding people, in fact, this Lord also wants to go to the Central Plains to walk, but I Wanghai City is now thriving, this Lord is really lacking in skills, Cheng Yangong is a famous person in the Central Plains, and he will live for a while to tell me about the customs of the Central Plains."

"The old man can't ask for it." Huang Chengyan said happily, of course he would have to stay longer.

At this banquet, Lin Bei and Huang Chengyan did not mention the matter of getting married. Lin Bei is not in a hurry, Huang Chengyan is not in a hurry, he still has to look at Lin Bei and Wanghai City again, to see the potential of Wanghai City, but as far as today's observation is concerned, Lin Bei and Wanghai City are very satisfied with Huang Chengyan.

"Huang San. What do you think of this Ryujin-sama? In the evening, Huang Chengyan asked his entourage.

"Villains are not easy to judge."

"Tell me."

"Then the villain said, the villain thinks that this dragon god is really like the dragon god, and the villain wants to kneel down and kowtow when he sees this dragon god." Huang San said, the meaning was a little strange, but Huang Chengyan understood.

"Yes, this dragon god really looks like a dragon god." Huang Chengyan muttered.

The identity of the dragon god is too scary, because the emperor compares himself to the real dragon emperor, so the dragon god is also synonymous with the emperor in the hearts of many people. In the past, the dragons were all ethereal, but now they have appeared, Huang Chengyan thought about the son of heaven in the Luoyang Palace, and a thought suddenly flashed: Could it be that this is really the dragon god, and he wants to replace him?

This idea took root in Huang Chengyan's heart.

On the second day, Huang Chengyan got up quite late, after all, he drank a lot of wine yesterday and had to adapt to the environment of Wanghai City. After he washed, the sergeant at the door asked about Lin Bei's whereabouts: "Where is Lord Ryujin now?" I'm tired of the little brother to report it. The old man asked to see him. ”

"My lord is now building a road outside Xicheng, and my lord once said that Gong Cheng Yan can go and find him by himself."

"So, thank you, little brother."

With Huang San, Huang Chengyan went out of the City Lord's Mansion, but this time there was no sergeant to follow. Obviously, Lin Bei specially instructed him, Huang Chengyan was satisfied with this situation, and there were sergeants who followed him to watch, and Lin Bei obviously regarded Huang Chengyan as his own person. In-laws, yes, in-laws.

The road of Wanghai City is very easy to identify, one west and one east two long streets, and then the ring street, as long as you walk once, you will never forget jì, Huang Chengyan walked halfway, heard the sound of reading on the side of the road, looked up, and found that it was a group of three or four-year-old children, these children sat on the big stone under the tree, each with a thick book in their hands, shaking their heads and reading aloud.

"It's a paper book?" Huang Chengyan was taken aback again.

Nowadays, most of the books are made of wood or bamboo, and paper books are quite scarce, if these young children are the children of a big family, it is reasonable, but Huang Chengyan has such a vision, he can see at a glance that these young children are not children of the family, but more like ordinary people.

"Even those big families don't have so many paper books, how can a few young children in Wanghai City have them?" Huang Chengyan was suspicious and stepped forward.

After asking, Huang Chengyan was completely stunned, now there are at least three books in each household of Wanghai people, and they are all made of paper, and paper that is more expensive than gold in the Central Plains is a stall in Wanghai City, and even children can take it out casually.

"What is this Ryujin-sama going to do? In this way, wouldn't everyone in Wanghai City be able to read and write? Huang Chengyan thought about it and nodded: "Wanghai City is extremely difficult in the territory of the Han Dynasty, far away from the Central Plains, and it is indeed difficult to find good talents, so this adult probably wants to cultivate talents by himself, and his ambition is really not small." ”

With ability, ambition, and his special identity, Huang Chengyan was really satisfied at this time and recognized Lin Bei's potential.

Once recognized, Huang Chengyan made a decision, and at that moment, he took Huang San out of the West City Gate, but he didn't see Lin Bei, and casually asked the sergeant guarding the city: "Where is Lord Longshen now?" ”

"My husband is Cheng Yangong?" The sergeant asked.

"It's the old man."

"Chengyan Gong is polite, now my Nanshan Road is being built, my lord is going to the other side of Nanshan Road, Chengyan Gong, please wait, there will be a steam car shop there later, Chengyan Gong can go together."

Huang Chengyan nodded, looked around, saw the cement road, and said with some surprise: "That's the road?" Why is it so lenient? ”

"This is a cement road, five zhang wide, and it is planned to be built for more than 400 miles."

Huang Chengyan's heart sank, and he suddenly felt a little bad, feeling that this Dragon God Lord was really a waste of money. (To be continued......)
