668 Let's talk about money
When these words were spoken, the other three people in the hall all looked solemn, and even Bi Ziyan finally stopped his deduction and calculation, raised his head and joined the conversation:
"I think that Xiao Guo is just picking up people's teeth, and he actually doesn't understand the meaning of this sentence."
Yang Yihe next to him also smiled:
"If you realized it yourself, or if you really learned it, you wouldn't take it out so casually and show it off...... It must have come from school. And judging by their attitudes, it seems that neither the people who learn nor the people who teach take these principles too seriously. β
Zhou Yanru also sighed:
"The art of dragon slaying! It's so frivolous...... I really don't know where these people came from, and who taught them their knowledge. β
After this exclamation, several people present fell silent again. Regarding the origin of this group of short hairs, there have long been many speculations among the government and the public. But the only thing that is certain now is that the group of people came from the sea, and there is no clue about the rest.
Of course, more than one person said that since Shorthair had already been recruited, and it was not so difficult to deal with, why not ask them in person? But there are a lot of people who say this, but there is no one who really dares to do it, even the old money, who is recognized as having the closest relationship with them, at this time, under the eyes of Zhou Da Shoufu, he just snorted haha:
"Well, it seems to be a bit secretive now, but it may not be long before the world knows about it."
"Oh?"
Facing the inquiring eyes of the three colleagues, Qian Qianyi showed a narrow smile on his face:
ββ¦β¦ can hide it from outsiders, and how can it hide it from the person next to the pillow. It's just one or two, if it's seven or eight......"
"Oh!"
The other three all looked clear, Zhou Yanru raised his glass again, and said in a very admiring tone:
"Brother Mu Zhai, please give you another drink!"
β¦β¦ After drinking another cup of tea with someone Qian, Zhou Yanru turned to Bi Ziyan's side again:
"Jing Zenggong, the student has another word. I don't know if to talk about it or not? β
Old man Bi naturally asked him to speak freely, so Zhou Yanru said softly:
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I hope the old gentleman won't go around the bend with them anymore, let's talk about money directly."
"Huh? What does the jade rope mean? β
Hearing this, Bi Ziyan suddenly felt a little unhappy - he was having too many questions to solve, although he was embarrassed to ask directly, but seeing that those young people were not in the city, and they seemed to have a desire to perform. After a little temptation, they crackled and talked, lest they didn't know enough and didn't know enough about it.
At this time, Bi Ziyan was thinking about how to quietly reveal some confusion to the other party tomorrow. Why do you want to stop?
In this regard, Zhou Yanru smiled bitterly and said:
"Old sir, the students are worried that they will say too much and too carefully, which will damage our Dao heart!"
When this sentence is spoken, ordinary people may not be able to understand it, but several of you here are all scholars, and when you hear it, you will immediately realize that what they have learned in their lives is nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics, the writings of the ancestors, and so on, and this is not just a stepping stone for officials in the imperial examination. It is also a code of conduct used to guide life, and the so-called "moral article" is one and inseparable.
Now that these people have been immersed in this for many years, their knowledge has long been harmonious. Self-contained. According to the way modern people describe it: these people's outlook on life and world view have been fixed, and the methodologies used to solve problems are all derived from the Confucian classics and the great righteousness of the sages. There is no other way.
However, in just a few days of communication. However, they clearly saw a new world that was completely different from the traditional Confucian theory. Although Lin Hanlong, Guo Yi and others did not say much, these top literati of the Ming Dynasty could feel that there must exist there behind those words. A whole set of incomparably large, and seemingly more perfect, self-consistent cultural systems than they had previously learned.
For ordinary people, this may be a good opportunity to open their eyes and gain knowledge, but these people here are not ordinary people - they have established their own "way", and they have walked on this road for most of their lives, and their life's fame and career have come from this. At this time, when they saw a new path appear next to them, even if they were told that it was a shortcut closer to the path of the sages, they would not dare to accept itβtheir minds were already cups full of water, and they could no longer accept other views.
As soon as Zhou Yanru said this, Qian Yang and the two next to him immediately nodded in agreement, and Qian Qianyi even showed an expression of "having relatives in his heart" on his face - as a senior literati who has been in contact with shorthair for the longest time and has dealt with the most, he has been most "poisoned" by shorthair, and he has actually encountered this problem a long time ago. And the way to deal with Qian is to ignore it and pretend not to know. Even if some junior students sometimes ask, they just fool the past with "although the method of the people is wonderful, it seems to be born in Xiyi, not my Chinese learning".
Of course, this allows him to maintain his dignity in front of his juniors and shorthair, but sometimes when there is no one in the middle of the night and he is meditating alone, he inevitably wonders if he is doing the stupid thing of covering his ears and stealing the bell? If other Confucians knew the method of short hair, what kind of attitude would they have?
At this time, seeing that Zhou Yanru's idea of the champion coincided with himself, this sense of identity from competitors made Lao Qian feel very good all of a sudden. And Yang Yihe, who was next to him, although he had just come into contact with the study of short hair, immediately expressed the same choice, which made Qian Qianyi feel more and more that what he did was right.
Only Bi Ziyan's side, although he also expressed his understanding of their thoughts, sighed again:
"The words of the jade rope are honest and safe. However, my Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles today, and the first thing is the shortage of money and food. If he knew that it was possible to solve this problem, but did not dare to touch it, the old man would not be blind to death-the jade rope could rest assured, and the old man would not discuss the matter with them in person. I am afraid that this kind of knowledge cannot be mastered by verbal temptation. I don't think those people are self-cherished broomsticks, and perhaps it would be more appropriate to be open and honest and sincerely seek advice-Mu Zhai, I am afraid that I will have to rely on your good offices when the time comes. β
Qian Qianyi immediately gave up:
"The old gentleman plans for the world, and he does not hesitate to affect his own Taoism, how dare the students fall behind. If there is a need, I will never dare to refuse. β
And Zhou Yanru also nodded and said:
"We are absorbed in mundane affairs, and our Taoist cultivation is insufficient, so we dare not make rash contacts. Jing Zeng Gong is a senior, and he has been polished in the court for many years, and his concentration is by no means comparable to ours. The stones of other mountains can attack jade, with the help of the words of the people, hone their own knowledge, and the realm of public learning, maybe they can go to the next level from now on. β
Bi Ziyan smiled:
"It's also possible to get a Handan toddler, and in the end you can only crawl and walk...... It's a pity that the old man has already fallen in, and he won't turn back if he doesn't touch his head and break the bloodstream! β
The people here had already made a decision, and each drank a few more cups of tea before they dispersed. On the other hand, after Guo Yi and the others returned to their camp, when they discussed the next step behind closed doors, Lin Hanlong's first sentence after sitting down was the same:
"Let's talk about money directly tomorrow, and don't talk about any policies with them."
Guo Yi was puzzled - he was still a little proud before. Especially when he said those words, he clearly saw a faint look of surprise in the eyes of several high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty. Unlike Chen Tao, who has lived in the capital for a long time, Guo Yi still has a sense of accomplishment in being able to show off his knowledge in front of these historical celebrities, and now he understands why those time-traveling novels often like to go back to ancient times and copy famous poems as a climax - which feels really good.
It's just that in the Ming Dynasty for so many years, Xiao Guo has also been invited to participate in the gatherings of some literati and artists, so he has long known that relying on plagiarism poetry and pretending to be forced will never work - words are the voice of the heart, and poetry articles are very personal things. Those who have read books and those who have not read books are completely different from each other in terms of speech and choice of words and sentences. A person who is not familiar with the rhythm, rhyme, or mediocrity in his usual conversation, but suddenly comes up with a great poem and says that he wrote it, and there will be no result except to provoke ridicule.
Therefore, although they were still making a "division of ownership" for a number of famous works after the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, so as not to cause anyone to plagiarize and crash, for so many years, it seems that no one has made a name for themselves in this regard. Even the Nalan Ci, which was robbed of his head at the beginning, does not seem to have reached the level of popularity in the original history, except for being occasionally sung in the kilns in the south.
However, today Xiao Guo successfully showed his face in front of the head of the Ming Dynasty - relying on the political economy that he was least interested in in in junior high school, which feels quite good! Guo Yi originally had the desire to be a good teacher, otherwise he would not have used his old profession as a programmer, but in this team of "who advocates and who is responsible", he gradually mixed into the education mouth. Now that he has the opportunity to teach a group of high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, his desire to preach is strong.
"Why not talk about it? Let them know about our system and policies, which will help us to cooperate in the future. β
However, Lin Hanlong shattered his thoughts with only one sentence:
"We are only here to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, not to help them carry out political reforms. If we continue to blow it up, I am afraid that we will all find out our ideas - do you think that if the Ming Dynasty knew that our current monetary income has exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty itself, their demands on us would still be limited to the salt tax? β
People's desires are always endless, and the same is true of the Ming Empire - from the original plan to spend money to eliminate disasters, to being satisfied with 20,000 years of tribute, to asking for ships, vegetables, and things, and now asking for salt tax and silver...... In the future, there will inevitably be more layers of weight, as the Committee has long predicted. Anyway, as long as the exchange with the Ming Empire is still profitable, they must try to maintain the cooperative relationship between the two sides, after all, it is the Qiong Navy side that benefits more from this kind of cooperation and exchange.
But this does not mean that they will take the initiative to send it to the door to slaughter Daming, and the negotiation table is another form of battlefield. In this regard, Lin Hanlong, who was a small bag foreman, was of course more experienced than the programmer Guo Yi - so despite Guo Yi's title as a management committee, the committee's directive clearly designated Lin Hanlong as the main responsibility for the negotiation. (To be continued.) )
