Chapter 807: Going head-to-head with Old Man Kong (Calling for a Monthly Pass)
Uncle Li and others also liked it more and more. "Well, this is a good place, good son-in-law, you built it to live in? There are so many buildings, you can't live in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, right? Isn't there another crooked idea? Uncle Li stood on the balcony on the second floor, patting the marble railing, looking at the whole view of Qujiang Academy under the mountain, and even the city wall of Chang'an could be seen in the distance, but here, it was like being in another world, and it was extraordinarily peaceful.
I looked around, well, no one paid attention to our side, and quietly leaned into Uncle Li's ear: "Father-in-law, I know what the son-in-law is planning at a glance, except for keeping a few villas for my own use, the rest are for sale." ”
"Sold?" Uncle Li tilted his head and glanced at me and was happy: "Okay, you kid, there are really a lot of curves in the intestines, even if it is an old man, I feel that living in this mountain is indeed much more comfortable than in the city, accompanied by green mountains and green waters, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and can overlook Chang'an, which can be contaminated with the smell of books." I'm afraid that such a villa will have to be at least twenty or thirty thousand yuan to get it, right? ”
"Hehe, almost, by the way, father-in-law, this villa No. 999 is dedicated to you by your son-in-law, and this is the key to your villa." I handed the key to Uncle Li's hand, Uncle Li looked at the key, and then at me, well, his expression was quite kind, but it was not a good word from his mouth: "Good boy, do business on the head of the old man?" ”
"Father-in-law, you are really wronged by the son-in-law, this is really a plan that the son-in-law has long made, even if your old man is not willing to live here for a long time, if you are bored in the future, when you go to the place of green mountains and green waters, relax for a few days, you can also cultivate a mood, the air in the mountains is much better than in the city." I had a sincere look on my face.
Uncle Li glanced at the shiny key in the center of his palm, then looked at me, and said with a smile: "Okay, the old man will accept your affection, hehehe......"
"What my father-in-law said, isn't it because my father-in-law has been supported by your father-in-law? If it weren't for you, let alone building these villas, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to build even the academy below. "I'm not talking about it, it's the truth.
Of course, Uncle Li was a little wrong, hehe, twenty or thirty thousand? Now the house price in our villa area has been speculated to 50,000 yuan. I almost blossomed in my heart, but on the surface it still seems quite low-key, we don't have other skills, there are definitely too many ways to make money, just the fifty-six villas built by the two barren mountains before and after, we can at least earn more than 2 million yuan, the construction cost includes greening, the total cost is not more than 600,000 yuan, profiteering, absolute profiteering.
What do ------------------------------------------------ future generations do to find the most money? I can't find the most money-making industry, but the real estate industry is undoubtedly one of them, as long as there is land, as long as there is speculation, then housing prices will go straight up like a rocket. Of course, I came to Datang, and I didn't want to find money by speculating on land to repair houses, which would make Datang inflationary, and Uncle Li was likely to tear up the second house and say not necessarily, let's just compensate for the cost of building the academy, and by the way, it was just a little oily.
On the way down the mountain, a group of court bigwigs dragged me to negotiate privately one by one, and very vaguely expressed that they also hoped to breathe some mountain and forest air, and live a life of cultivating love here after retirement.
As soon as Uncle Cheng brought his old face over, I hurriedly presented the key and told him privately that this was a gift from my son-in-law to the old rascal's 50th birthday, and asked him to keep it secret.
In addition, the old man also put on a bitter posture to educate me, thinking that I should not put the books of Western barbarians out for people to enjoy, and that I was exposing readers to the dregs of art and literature.
Listening to the old guy's words, my eyes turned green with anger. "Master Kong, what you say, the little nephew does not dare to agree, whether it is the classics of my ancestors, or these Western classics translated by the translation hall, these all contain the wisdom and experience of the predecessors, of course, the little nephew also knows that there are many vulgar things in the Western classics, but it is also undeniable that some of them can also be used by me, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the political affairs of the country, or the promotion of the people, they can be inclusive, seek common ground while reserving differences, as the so-called sea embraces all rivers, take their strengths, and abandon the shortcomings, what is the fault of this?"
"Humph! Don't forget, don't forget, since you are a college for books and people to read, you should pay attention, so as not to lead all the people of the Tang Dynasty astray. Kong Yingda stopped, turned to look at me, and looked at him in astonishment, ignoring the fact that everyone around him looked at him in amazement.
At this time, Ma Zhou on the side walked over: "Master Kong, this is not the place to speak, you are still ......."
"There is a son of the sages, who traveled all over the world, and when he was in the wilderness, he continued to teach tirelessly, and the old man said that although the taste was bitter, it was not so that no one would make a mistake." Kong Yingda, the old guy, seems to be crazy alone, and when he sees people watching, his voice is even more high. This made Ma Zhou not embarrassed, neither retreating, nor persuading.
Uncle Li's expression darkened, the old man's expression was also very gloomy, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and the old man couldn't get used to Kong Yingda, the old guy pointing fingers at our house's territory, and winked at me, well, I understand, the old man wants this son not to lose face, don't worry, if this son is full of firepower, the old guy is just an old decaying tree, and he can be kicked off with one kick.
Li Ji took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pulled Ma Zhou's sleeve, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "It's okay, since the old man Kong is so interested, let's just squat and watch the excitement, and I can also hear some high-level opinions." Uncle Li Ji's words immediately won the favor of Uncle Cheng and other veteran ruffians who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
"How many people are tens of millions of scholars in my Tang Dynasty, and a small Qujiang Academy can lead these benevolent and wise people who are proficient in hundreds of schools of thought and have their own insights astray? Master Kong, shouldn't you be too exalted to say this? Ben Gongzi also sneered, and also shot back loudly, riveting with this old guy on the spot, afraid of you bird, although you are a descendant of Confucius, the Minister of Education of the Tang Dynasty, but you have to talk about conscience, Ben Gongzi spent so much effort to build such a academy. Are you good, Xingshi asks for sin?
------------------------------------------------ want to ask the teacher to ask the guilt, you also have to have this capital, just your ability, this son is not in the eyes, and I have pinched a few times above the court, this son has won, and the newspaper has also singled out, or we win, but for this period of time, for the sake of the academy, this son does not want the old guy to abolish the public for personal reasons, and speak out to obstruct, so for this period of time, He once implicitly praised the character of this old man and supported his outstanding contributions to the reform of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, this old guy still thinks that this son is poor in donkey skills, since you choose this kind of place to pinch me today, okay, I want to see who is the number one debater in Datang.
Old man Kong didn't expect me to be so direct to him in front of the ministers and the surrounding scholars, his eyes turned green with anger, and he raised his fingers and shouted at me: "You! Virtuous nephew, the old man taught you bitterly, what do you think of the old man's hard work? In the future, if those who read books are deceived by these bad things, then what will they do? The sage Confucius said such an aphorism: Zi said: The people can make it, but they can't make it known. When the court governs the people, it should be instructed......" The old man's head began to shake at the mention of Confucius's words.
"Shut up!" I stared at the old man with a murderous look, eager to take the blade and give him three holes and six eyes on the spot. As soon as I heard this sentence of Confucius's remarks distorted by these old Confucian students, my son was angry, and it was strange why there were no punctuation marks during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China. And the old guy actually took the words out of context, thinking about it, this so-called old man Kong who collected hundreds of schools of thought is also a literary ruffian.
Perhaps frightened by my expression and momentum, the old guy trembled with fright, took a small step back, and seemed to feel that his behavior was too embarrassing, and suddenly his eyes turned red, and his eyes became resentful: "Huangkou Xiaoer, dare to be so rude to the old man?!" Your Majesty, please punish him for the sin of contempt for his superiors and the sin of roaring before the Holy Hearing! ”
Are you suing? Lao Tzu also sought. He took a step forward and saluted respectfully to Uncle Li, who was squinting at him with a gloomy face, and then said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, please treat Lord Kong for the great crime of changing the original meaning of the words of the sages without authorization and misleading the scholars of the world!" ”
