Chapter Twenty-Three: I Just Want to Make a Fortune

Zeng Shanchang stroked a roll of parchment in his hand, sighed for a while, and handed it to Shao Shan along with his graduation certificate.

"This treasure map is not an antiquity, it was given to me by the Sword Master Yu Chenghui when he came to visit me twenty years ago, and it was drawn by him himself.

According to ancient rumors, the Bright Divine Envoy assisted the Tang Dynasty to dominate the world, and after formulating the electoral system with his own hands, he blessed the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years. Before returning to seclusion, he left two tips for his children and grandchildren.

It is said that when there are changes in the world and cannot be solved, open the bag, or find a solution.

The first bag has been opened by your Shaw ancestor. It was the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the villagers were in rebellion, and the merchants and capital forces followed the descendants of Guan Kaiyan, the king of Dingyuan County, who founded the country, and the villagers rebelled.

Your Shaw Clan has become a master of Zhongxing, expelled the Guan traitors, led the Great Xia Army to quickly regain control of the world, and restored the electoral system in which the Shaw Clan and the Su Clan took turns to govern. Because of the outstanding achievements of the Shaw Brothers, the ministers discussed together, and the name of the country was changed to Daxia after Zhongxing.

Although Uncle Shao Wen took action to quell the rebellion, the foundation of the turmoil was not solved at that time. He personally went to the small island of the Caspian Sea to worship the ruins of the oracle of light, and opened the first trick. ”

The students here are all familiar with this period of history that Zeng Shanchang said, not because they are all experts in ancient history, but because they have benefited from the spread of storytellers.

Uncle Shao Wen Zhongxing, three sticks set the country, one year to restore the country, the story of the Tang Dynasty becoming Daxia is full of legends and is sung everywhere.

Uncle Shao Wen was nicknamed "Shao Sanbang" by later storytellers, and this Zhongxing Emperor has become a fairy-like figure in legend.

The God of Light made others not know what was written in the first bag, and after reading it, Shao Sanbang made an astonishing decision.

He pardoned not only the Guan family, but also all the wealthy merchants and factory owners who supported the rebellion, formed a lower house composed of representatives of merchant capitalists, appointed the son of Guan villagers as the speaker, and allowed merchants and factory owners to participate in national politics.

Most of the nobles were opposed, but Shao Sanbang forcibly implemented this major restructuring in the name of the Messenger of Light and his own personal prestige.

"The effect of the first step of the Divine Envoy of Light is well known, and it has determined the country of Great Xia for 600 years.

Shao Shan, since you feel that it is time to change again, the second tip of the Divine Envoy of Light may be able to guide you, this treasure map is the map leading to the ruins of the Divine Envoy of Light in the Caspian Sea. ”

"Mountain Chief, since Yu Jiansheng can draw this map, he must have gone to look for it, didn't he take out the second bag?"

"After the cataclysm, it is now completely deserted, and the demonic beasts along the way can't stop the footsteps of the Sword Master. But at the last pass, he found that the Divine Envoy of Light had set the conditions for obtaining the Tips.

Only the descendants of the three electors of Su, Shao, and Li are eligible to get the tips. Afraid of the prestige of the Divine Envoy of Light, Yu Sword Saint did not dare to move lightly and returned empty-handed. You are a descendant of the Shaw family, so you naturally have this qualification, so you might as well try it. ”

Shao Shan didn't think so. He had known this legend for a long time, but he had always believed that people tended to deify things from antiquity.

If the Divine Envoy of Light has something to tell his descendants, he can just say no, making such a mysterious and mysterious thing has never been the right way to govern the country. He is the descendant of the Shaw Brothers, and he has never heard of the Light God Envoy leaving behind.

His ancestor Shao Wenshu had already seen the situation clearly and knew that he had to give the capital forces the power to participate in politics in order to solve the social contradictions at that time. Going there to ask for tips is mostly to borrow the prestige of the oracle of light to suppress the opposition of the nobles.

Even if those two tips are true, most of them are also an excuse for the Bright God to leave for future generations to reform the system, and use their prestige to help future generations. The Divine Envoy of Light is also a human being, and Shao Shan didn't believe that he could predict the situation a thousand years later, and write countermeasures and put them in his bag.

Shao Shan is the most opposed to the theory of blood. The son of a nobleman will always be a nobleman, and the common people will not have a day to come out? What descendants are eligible to take the tips, isn't it just to maintain the system of the three surnames taking turns to be the emperor?

The Bright Divine Envoy's bag must have been made to safeguard the interests of the royal family and nobles, regardless of whether there are dry goods in it, it must be contrary to the goal of benefiting the public, and he should not need it.

However, Zeng Shan has good intentions, and Shao Shan is empathetic, and he will never show this disbelief. Kneeling down on one knee, "Domeng Mountain Chief takes care of it, I wish the Mountain Chief is in good health, and he can always take care of his younger brothers and sisters." ”

Seeing that Shaoshan went down, Zeng Shanchang was very satisfied. This child knows how to care about himself, and the old man likes this the most. As for the fact that none of his three gifts were approved by his disciples, he didn't know about it.

It's Randy's turn, and Randy is thrilled. Swordsman is the most common profession, and it was only because he was lucky to enter Ruiyuan's group that he was personally received by Zeng Shanchang and awarded the graduation certificate.

Usually Zeng Shan is tall and tall, and he has almost no chance to get close. Today, Chief Zeng personally met and encouraged, which was a long-cherished wish of Randy. Randy had just gotten two immortal weapons, but he didn't have much extravagance for the gifts that Zeng Shanchang might give him.

Zeng Shan Chang measured Randy, "The young man is young and strong, as old as the rising sun, it's really enviable."

You come from a poor background, you know the importance of continuous improvement, and you are a role model for a new generation of young people to come here to study with all your wealth.

I'm not very proficient in kendo, so there's nothing I can teach you, and we rarely see each other, but I've been following your progress.

As an old man, I will tell you that if you want to gain a foothold in society, you must practice an art to be proficient, and only when you have the foundation of your career can you achieve something.

You've been working hard, I'm satisfied, I don't know what your ambition is? ”

Zeng Shanchang asked the ambitions of his disciples one by one, and he was quite a bit of the leader of "Zi Lu, Zeng Xian, Ran You, and Gong Xihua Sitting" in the Analects, and he himself was a descendant of Zeng Zi.

Randy blinked, "I just want to make a fortune now, make some money, make a good life for my mother and brother, and then make more money......"

Su Meimei couldn't help but laugh out loud in the audience, and Ruiyuan also shook her head and sighed. In addition to Shao Shan, nearly a thousand classmates from all classes exchanged heads, all laughing at Randy's dirt bun. It seems that people are poor and short-sighted, and it is not nonsense, as the saying goes, it is a summary of experience.

Zeng Shanchang looked around majestically, and everyone fell silent. "Don't laugh at Randy's ambitions, you may not be as noble as he is."

Turning his head and looking at Randy kindly, "Young man, you can be the first to think of making money for your mother and brother, this is deeply in line with the way of filial piety, I have been inherited in China for thousands of years in ancient times, relying on the way of loyalty and filial piety."

After the cataclysm, our Great Xia was able to recover quickly, also because we have the inheritance of our ancestors, which is very good.

However, after making money, you must open your eyes and have a higher pursuit. ”

Randy isn't a money junkie. His original intention was to make more money and go to Delphi to activate the giant teleportation array, take Coco over, and fulfill his promise.

But halfway through the conversation, I suddenly felt that it was very inappropriate to tell the story of Coco, so I stopped there, causing a misunderstanding to everyone.

Most of the classmates were born in wealthy families, especially Su Meimei, a super rich sister, whose starting point was the end of Randy's pursuit, and she immediately had a great sense of superiority.

Randy thought for a moment, "Higher pursuit...... If possible, I would like to be like Yu Chenghui's predecessors and become a glorious sword master. ”

"That's good, but it's not enough, kid. Whether you can become a sword master or not, in addition to hard work, also depends on talent. This is just a pursuit of personal ability, my disciple, it is not necessary to become a sword saint, but it must be a useful person for the country.

I look at your qualifications, it is difficult to become a leader like the Divine Envoy of Light and Prince Shao Shude. However, the famous generals of the Great Xia Federation back then, Tian Xing, Fan He, Cai Nanshan, and Guan Kaiyan were all born in poverty, so they should be your role models.

If you want to be that kind of famous general, and you have to be passed on to future generations, you have to follow a wise guide. It's like when you joined Ruiyuan's group this time, you won the prize. ”

Ruiyuan secretly rejoiced in the audience, the teacher is pulling people for me. Randy, this kid has no heart and lungs, and kung fu is not to be said. If you follow me, it will be a big help for me to achieve great things, and I will definitely be a tiger in the future.

Guide? Randy touched his head, "Mountain Chief, Shao Shan usually takes care of me the most. My family is poor, and he said that he wanted to find a way to make the poor happy, and I was very much in favor. If he asks me to help, I'll follow. ”

Meimei pouted in the audience, in her opinion, Randy's willingness to follow Shao Shan must be because the Shao family was the elector of the previous dynasty. Isn't Shao Shan's surname Shao? My surname is Su, and I'm a descendant of the Messenger of Light.

What age is it now, and Great Xia has been dead for 1,400 years. This kid is really stupid to stick to Shao Shan's usual little favors and can't see the great future of following Ruiyuan.

Ruiyuan didn't care. Shao Shan himself admits that he doesn't have any ideas yet. In Ruiyuan's view, Shao Shan's ambition is too idealistic and has no possibility of being realized.

Since Shao Shan is good to him, he is willing to follow, and I Ruiyuan is better at giving people benefits. It's Shao Shan, when he enters the society and touches the wall a few more times, I also have the confidence to recruit him and do things for himself.

did not get the answer he expected, Zeng Shanchang was not disappointed, "It is a good thing for young people to have ideals, and it depends on the will of God whether they succeed or not." You are simple-minded, willing to work hard, and you will definitely be able to achieve something in the future, and I will entrust you with this last gift. ”
