Chapter 35: Convincing People with Virtue (Asking for Subscription!)
"This is the Dacheng Holy Ancestor Master Kong?"
Without wide clothes and belts, standing with his hands arched, the image of a kind and pious scholar, this tall and mighty man, compared to the quiet and elegant Sun Wu, is more like a military general.
It's not how superb his swordsmanship is, but that there is a charm in his swordsmanship.
In the Xianwu Han, the six arts of the gentleman, and the number of imperial books are the six powerful magical powers, each with its own strength.
Gu Cheng opened the twelve volumes of Tianshu and accommodated them, the number of Confucian disciples was the largest, after all, the Han Dynasty deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism and Taoism for hundreds of years, which could not be changed in a short period of time.
However, no matter how many people study it, it is inevitable that it will stop at the technique, and only by reaching the realm of Confucianism can we show some true meaning.
And it will never be possible to return to the original pursuit.
But now the Dao rhyme in Kongqiu's sword is pure to the extreme, symbolizing his pursuit.
The original concept of Confucianism, the education of etiquette and music, and the rule of the royal road, are fundamentally in the word "virtue".
From the personal virtue of the king to the political virtue, the ruler guides the people with his own normative behavior to achieve the goal of turning the people into customs.
To put it bluntly, the ruler is a benevolent and virtuous saint, and the officials and the people are educated and become gentlemen, so the world is naturally peaceful.
Is it possible?
Naturally impossible.
But many of these ideas are worth learning.
In fact, all schools of thought are like this, their respective pursuits are too perfect to be fully realized, but they have all been passed down for centuries and affected the process of civilization.
"Gongzi is interested in Kong Qiu? Before coming to Chu, this person was in the Qi country, and he was courteous to Qi Jun with his eloquence, and he became good friends with Qi Xiangyan Ying, what happened?"
Seeing Gu Cheng's gaze fall on Kong Qiu, and looking at it carefully, the old man sneered and said disdainfully: "Yan Ying personally spoke to Qi Jun, saying that Kong Qiu only values etiquette, does not pay attention to production, does not pay attention to practice, and has no benefit to the country and the people, this Kong Qiu left Qi in disgrace, and now he has come to lobby the king......
The old man knows very well that he is a domestic slave, even if he relies on Fei Wuji's authority, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to get on the stage.
But he brought out Qi Xiangyan Ying, who was a generation of virtuous ministers, and they all looked down on Kong Qiu, which showed that Kong Qiu was really incapable.
Speaking of Yan Ying, he is also an old opponent of the Chu people, Yan Zi made Chu, because of his short stature, the king of Chu deliberately opened a small hole next to the city gate as an insult, but he was cleverly rated as making the dog country enter through the dog gate, and the result could only open the gate.
In addition, there is the southern orange and the northern orange, although the Chu people are completely suppressed in terms of IQ, they admire him very much.
Gu Cheng smiled at this and did not comment.
And at this time, the confrontation is over.
"Master Confucius!"
I saw that the person who was fighting with Kong Qiu stood in place for a moment, his face changed, he was feeling something, and then suddenly bowed and actually performed the teacher salute.
"This!"
Everyone in the car was stunned, and they were wondering how to apprentice?
Gu Cheng was a little ridiculous.
The three thousand disciples of Confucius, could it be that this is how they came?
Convince people with "morality"?
Kong Qiu put away his sword, helped the man up, glanced here, and saw that it was Fei Wuji's carriage and horse, his waist straightened, and he strode away.
Sure enough, he repaid his grievances with straightforwardness and repaid virtue with virtue, and he was despised by Kong Qiu, so true.
After seeing Kong Qiu leave, everyone entered Fei Wuji's mansion and began to wait.
It took a full afternoon for Fei Wuji to come.
"Say!"
He has sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a nose like a hanging gall, and three strands of hair under his chin, he is actually born with a good skin, and he sits on the main seat, and he is indifferent to a word, and he is no longer angry and arrogant.
As Ling Yin, the one of the three great powers in the world, and the respect of the prime minister, Fei Wuji is willing to spend a cup of tea to meet the royal family of a small country at the bottom, which is already for the sake of Gongsun Long's face.
Gu Cheng's five fingers opened, and the light and shadow of a miniature Qingying Boat appeared, rotating it up and down, and then zooming in inside, showing the details to the fullest.
Fei Wuji looked at it expressionlessly, and it wasn't until Gu Cheng's next sentence came out that his eyes suddenly lit up: "This thing is called the Qingying Boat, which can carry ten people, shuttle through the Qingying, and soar into the universe, can Ling Yin sell this boat in Chu on behalf of my Jiang Guo?"
Fei Wuji immediately asked, "What is the price?"
Gu Chengdao: "I, Jiang Guo, am weak, and I have been harassed by Chen and Yang for many years, and I want to exchange this boat for the crossbow of Chu State!"
The Chu crossbow is a sharp weapon that the Chu people are proud of, which first originated from the Chu Guoqin clan, with the fire spirit as the arrow and the thunder spirit as the string, and the explosive power is so strong that even the Jin Qi strong army retreated from it.
Just imagine that the Ming World is just a high martial arts, and the Peerless Divine Crossbow of the Peerless City plays a pivotal role in the battlefield, not to mention the powerful crossbow in the Immortal Martial World that can make the same great powers fearful.
It is no exaggeration to say that the legion equipped with this kind of crossbow formed a military formation with a number of 100 people, and a fierce general like Qingji was bound to die in every face.
Of course, this is the important weapon of the country, although Fei Wuji is moved, he does not dare to agree casually: "How many flying boats do you have?"
Gu Chengdao: "Thirty ships!"
Fei Wuji shook his head slightly: "Too little!"
Gu Cheng said with a smile: "Rare things are expensive, if this thing can be seen everywhere, it will not be able to bring out the status of the princess and noble!"
Fei Wuji asked again, "How many Chu crossbows do you want?"
Gu Chengdao: "Don't ask for extravagance, just 10,000!"
Fei Wuji nodded, there are only tens of thousands, and it is not difficult to do it with his power.
And to exchange 10,000 crossbows for 30 Qingying boats, no matter how you look at it, it is a big profit, which is also in line with the positioning of a small country being exploited by a big country.
"It's a deal!"
With such a harvest in just half a cup of tea, Fei Wuji's face lines softened, and he said to the old man: "Treat a few distinguished guests well, the old man is busy with affairs, so he will be lost first!"
"Please!"
Everyone got up to see each other, and the old man knew that the master was happy, and he was also smiling, more enthusiastic, and held a feast.
Just when the guests and hosts were happy, Fan Li stepped forward to toast: "Jiang Guo's harvest is not good, I want to buy some grain and grass, I wonder if the boss can make it convenient?"
The old man was half-drunk, but he was not confused at all, and his eyes were fixed: "Spiritual food?"
Fan Li said: "No, it's just miscellaneous grains, which are used by the people to make ends meet!"
The old man sighed, smiled again, and took a token: "According to the market price, you can buy it!"
Fan Li arched his hand: "Thank you!"
A trivial thing was completed in the process of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and after the first order was placed, the news was transmitted back to Jiang Guo, and Lu Miaozi immediately rushed to work and prepared to hand over.
In just one month, the 10,000 crossbows of the Chu State were transported into the Jiang State and placed in front of Lu Miaozi, and the dismantling and imitation were opened, and the Qing Yingzhou began to sweep Chu.
Only thirty ships were sold in ten batches by Fei Wuji, only three ships were sold each time, but they were more expensive each time, and they made a lot of money, but the rarer they were, the more they were snatched by the sons of the family, and they swaggered on the Qingying boat, and their reputation gradually spread all over the world.
Fan Liwen took the opportunity to carry out activities and pave the way for the opening of trade routes in the future.
However, on this day, the two had just left the house and were stopped.
After a while, Long Kui ran in and complained angrily: "Brother Wang, that Kongqiu is blocking the door to preach!"
Gu Cheng put down the scroll and said with interest: "He's going to convince people with virtue again?"
