Chapter 472: Tian Hunting

Soon after the Three Evils were reformed and reformed, Yun Yao received an invitation to Zhu Jian, from the palace, inviting her to participate in the field hunt.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Son of Heaven would participate in field hunting, in order to show that he attached importance to farming, so he would take a horse-drawn carriage to hunt in the fields. Nowadays, kings also go to the fields to hunt, but basically they just go around the fields, which is quite an outing, taking a large number of people out of the city, not only hunting, but also holding lively banquets.

During this time, the group of travelers in Linzi were all consuming and purchasing, dressing themselves up with fresh clothes and angry horses, strong bows and arrows.

The ink artists are working overtime to do business and complete orders, Yun Yao has long known that the day of Tian Hunting is nearby, and it seems that the day has been decided through divination. Just the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will definitely be sunny.

Baby Zi still hopes to recommend Yun Yao, so he plans to invite Yun Yao to participate in a series of court activities first, and use the rich and luxurious wealth of Qi to corrupt Yun Yao and make her feel a sense of gap. Although the ink scholars have money, they can't spend it, so let the Qi country, a country that has been promoting 'extravagance' for hundreds of years, teach them what consumption is.

Baby Zi believed that there were few people in the world who could refuse the great power atmosphere of Qi, and even Mencius, who didn't like to talk about profit, had to integrate into it after coming to the Jixia School Palace, going out at least twenty cars and waiting for orders, surrounded by hundreds of people. Sometimes even Mencius's disciples felt that Mencius, a person who promoted benevolence and righteousness, really shouldn't be so extravagant and wasteful. But Mencius can't help it, Qi State is in this atmosphere, and if you don't integrate, you can't implement your ideas at all.

Mencius, as the top scholar of the Academy, not only represents himself, but also represents the Academy and the Qi Kingdom. If the students of the Academy Palace saw that the treatment of the top scholars in the Academy Palace was to go out on foot and cut down on food and clothing, then they would not sharpen their heads and want to enter the Academy Palace to show their ambitions.

This is a common way for countries to attract talent. Besides, Mencius himself is not a bone, but a genuine thousand-mile horse, and he is in the rich and powerful Qi country, so he naturally wants to be embellished with a thousand gold, not only because he is talented and learned, but also because he wants to set an example for the talents of the world.

Everyone can mix so well when they see Mencius? Wouldn't it be better to go to the country of Qi than Mencius? So all the talents came to Qi country.

Therefore, Qi's 'extravagance' is not only an economic strategy to promote consumption, but also a strategy to attract talents.

Baby Zi just hopes to invite Yun Yao more and let her experience the luxury that the Mo family does not have, so as to split Yun Yao and the Mo family.

"Are you going to participate?" Zheng Dan asked.

"Go ahead." Yun Yao knew that there would definitely be a lot of travelers who would participate together when he was hunting, so he could go and find talents.

Zhuang Zhou said that he didn't want to go, and what he saw and heard in Linzi during this time disappointed him, so it was better to play a few more mahjong.

"Although the ink card is interesting, it also has to be a combination of work and rest, and you have to go outside to see it." Yun Yao has to take everyone with her, anyway, it's just to see, and it doesn't have to be hunting.

"Go together, Xu Ziming will definitely go too, he has been looking forward to meeting you again since the last time." Qingji said that Xu Gong missed Zhuang Zhou very much, and this was a good opportunity to meet.

The wanderers in the streets and alleys are dressing up, and they all want to perform well when they are hunting in the field, so as to get a reward.

Zhuang Zhou could only change into a very uncomfortable robe, hang a heavy iron sword, and pretend to be, because he didn't know how to use a sword, although he had learned the basic movements, he had long forgotten them. He's a brain-using talent, not a hands-on one.

But even if you can't, bring it with you, because it's standard for travelers. Even if the sword is broken, it has to be carried, there are two things to have, old or new is one thing, and the sword is a symbol of status.

It's better to bring a bow and arrows, after all, you need to pretend.

King Qi will bring his famous dog imported from South Korea, and you can definitely watch the performance of the dog chasing the rabbit on the spot, and you can see how fast the rabbit runs when it runs for its life.

On the day of the field hunting, the girl Pan'er took a convoy to pick up Yun Yao and the others, and went out of the city in a mighty way.

The car covers are like clouds, the horses' hooves are like scales, not only the wanderers who participate in the field hunting gather to go to the outskirts of the city, but also many small merchants and hawkers, so the procession is mighty and winding for several kilometers.

"Speaking of bows and arrows, I thought about whether the arrows I discussed with Hui Shi are stationary." After arriving at the destination, Zhuang Zhou immediately began to nag.

Pan'er led everyone to the venue prepared for them by the baby, and the seats were ready.

"Please be seated."

It is already a distinguished guest to have a seat, and most of the travelers are standing at a distance and cannot approach. Although Yun Yao and the others were at the end, they could at least see King Qi's appearance clearly.

The pomp and circumstance were very large, and the large and small venues were surrounded by colored silk cloth, and many Qi flags were erected at the same time, which were used for performances and competitions. There are a lot of people and many rewards, and according to the size of the hunting prey, the king of Qi will make a reward.

Wangwang......

The dogs barked incessantly, and each dog was full of energy, which showed that they were all well raised. There are still a large number of diners cooking in the back, and the aroma of the ingredients has already wafted away.

"It's hilarious." Yao Zhuang, who is also dressed as a man, was nervous and excited to participate in such a grand opportunity for the first time.

"It's indeed grander than the field hunting of the Song Kingdom." Zhuangzi also admitted that the Qi State was rich, so the scale was several times larger than that of the Song State, and just listening to the barking of the dog, he knew that the number of dogs was more than that of the Song State.

But under such wealth, it is the sale of sons and daughters.

At this time, a motorcade stopped, and a middle-aged man in high spirits entered the venue with a group of scholars, who was none other than Meng Fuzi of the Jixia School Palace.

The pomp was very large, and there were a lot of disciples, and they sat in clusters near the high platform, that is, close to the King of Qi.

Mencius was indeed upright, as dazzling as a sharp sword, and exuding confidence all over his body, apparently convinced of his own ideas. His righteousness is indeed beyond the existence of aristocratic benevolence, and it is a proposition that allows more landlords to join, which is indeed in line with the main theme of this era.

Mencius's gaze quickly swept over the scene, and did not stop at Yun Yao and the others, and soon sat upright, looking at his nose and nose and entering a state similar to meditation.

It took a long time for the King of Qi to appear, and almost everyone had arrived. As soon as the king of Qi came, he announced the start of the field hunt, and announced that the person with the greatest prey would be rewarded with 100 gold, in exchange for a piece of praise of 'the king's wisdom'.

King Qi accepted everyone's praise for himself, and then chatted with the guests present, that is, to avoid the table and choose words.

The so-called avoidance of the table is a kind of social etiquette in the Warring States, that is, when expressing opinions and opinions, in order to show respect for everyone, you must leave your seat before speaking.

The content of the publication is generally some beautiful words, or some correct nonsense that is correct but useless, after all, it is better to say nonsense on this occasion than to say the wrong thing.

Everyone spoke enthusiastically, and Yun Yao was drowsy when he listened.

King Qi was also very tired of listening, but he still had to listen, what he wanted to do most now was to get through it quickly, and then start to chase the rabbits, and show everyone a few of his famous Korean dogs.
