Chapter 50: Tongue and Tongue

"Dean Lu, you're also here preparing to listen to the book." Just as Chen Fan was looking left and right, he suddenly heard someone greeting Lu Yan. Looking for prestige, I saw a person in his fifties, with a wisp of beard, wearing silk satin, looking at Lu Yan with a smile.

"Dean Wei, you're here too, sit down, this storytelling is probably about to start soon." Lu Yan's answer was a bit lukewarm.

"Just now the shopkeeper Shen came to me, and I want us to give up another position, I'm really embarrassed, the disciples I brought out today are still okay with knowledge, and I really can't decide which one of them won't come, and I hope Dean Lu doesn't mind."

This person owes a beating, and Chen Fan made an evaluation of this Dean Wei in his heart. If you don't let it, you won't let it, saying that your disciples' knowledge is okay, but the implication is that those with low knowledge can not come, so your disciples have to come, and think that our side can not come, because our side has low learning! If it is intentional to ridicule Dean Lu, who is not pleasing to the other party, if it is unintentional, no, such a person will not be mixed with the dean of the economics department, Chen Fan suddenly cheered up.

Sure enough, when Dean Lu heard this, his face darkened, and he said: "I accepted a disciple today, not because he is okay in learning, but because I think he knows books and etiquette, knows how to respect teachers, and is known to be humble, do you think this is an important standard for accepting apprentices?" ”

"That's natural, if there is such a good disciple, I want to accept it, but I don't know when the Chess Academy will receive such a disciple?"

"Fa Sheng, come and meet Dean Wei, this is the dean of the Economics Department of our Rosin Academy."

"I've seen Dean Wei." Chen Fan meticulously saluted Dean Wei.

"Oh, you're Dean Lu's new disciple?"

"Yes, I am honored to be able to worship Dean Lu as my teacher today."

"Oh, Chang Jing is on stage, let's listen to the book first, we will have time, Dean Lu can bring your students to sit with me, our economics department has always been very welcome to people who are really talented and learned."

"Okay, I'm going to be interrupted then." Lu Yan agreed without hesitation.

"It's a deal." Dean Wei arched his hand and sat on the seat not far away.

Chen Fan swept around Dean Wei with his eyes, only to see Xu Zhen in the ranks, fortunately he didn't see Lin Jun, Chen Fan sighed secretly, if those two people were there, Chen Fan would rather not go. After sweeping the surroundings of Dean Wei, Chen Fan looked at the stage on the first floor, and saw that there was already a person standing on the stage, about thirty years old, with a thin face, dressed in a shirt, pacing back and forth, greeting around, and when he saw Chen Fan's side, he also beckoned upwards, it is estimated that he knows Dean Lu and them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I came to the treasure land of Cuixiang Pavilion again to tell you about a major event that just happened and shook the world." This Chang Jing cleared his throat and continued: "Mahayana Buddhism has given birth to a new Buddha, who wants to eliminate demons in the world, and has led believers to break through Bohai County. Do you know what a new Buddha is? How will this affect my girders? Listen to me. ”

Chang Jing paused, glanced at the people, saw that everyone was listening carefully, and continued to speak: "It is said that spring flowers and summer green, in the early summer season when the eyes are dyed green, in a field in the north of Jizhou, a monk walks barefoot on this land, this monk is named Faqing, a disciple of Mahayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism takes Maitreya as the future Buddha, can send immeasurable sentient beings to the other side, is the mainstream branch of Buddhism, and it is said that Maitreya Buddha will descend to the world and save sentient beings. In recent years, Jizhou has suffered many disasters, such as floods, droughts, insects, and winds, resulting in barren land, displaced people, and years of starvation. In order to save the common people, Faqing made a grand wish, looked for the true Buddha, and asked Maitreya Buddha to come to the world and purify all sentient beings. Finally, his sincerity touched the heavens,......"

Needless to say, Chang Jing's eloquence is good, and Chen Fan and Zhongkai, who originally planned to go back to the private room, couldn't help but stand in the corridor and listen. In Chen Fan's opinion, the story is still a bit level, at least nine truths and one falsehood, not all falsehoods. Except for moving the heavens and Maitreya coming into the world, other things are likely to have happened in real life, which adds to the convincing power of the story's authenticity.

"Now, Faqing has conquered Fucheng, killed the Fucheng County Order, occupied the entire Bohai County, killed local officials, and beheaded monks and nuns, burned scripture statues, called the birth of a new Buddha, and got rid of the old demons, and no one in the Northern Wei Dynasty could stop it for a while."

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Faqing led the believers to achieve such brilliant results in less than a month, which shows that the Northern Wei government is corrupt and the military is insufficient, and the Northern Wei court believes that Buddhism is also the source of chaos, but for my Liang, it can be described as a godsend. If we send a general to attack Wei,......, great thing can be accomplished! ”

Thinking of the warm applause, I have to say that Chang Jing's words are very agitatory, fortunately, Chen Fan is not a hot-blooded young man, this kind of thing has to be handed over to the imperial court to deal with, not his current identity can be discussed, seeing Chang Jing's hand, he has finished speaking, and said to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, you see that is my entourage, eat below." Chen Fan pointed to Hou Feng, who was eating on the first floor.

"See, villain."

"Okay, you go and ask him to reward Chang Jing for thirty Wen, just say that we, the dean of Yajian Lu, rewarded it." Chen Fan thought about it, there are so many people listening to books, only three of us have seats, and it should not be low to reward according to the standard of ten wen per seat, who told the store to only arrange three seats for us. If everyone follows this standard, then the audience in the corridor on the second floor will reward four or five hundred wen, and earn a few hundred wen at noon, which is definitely a lot, and his father's monthly salary is only 2,500 wen, and thirty wen, as Dean Lu gave it alone, the standard is not low, of course, it can't be given too high, after all, it's just listening to books, and I will continue to listen to it later, if it is too high this time, how can I give it later?

"Yes, guest officer." Xiao Er immediately went downstairs.

Dean Lu, who had already gotten up, nodded with satisfaction when he saw Chen Fan's arrangement, and he was not polite to Chen Fan, after all, he is now his own apprentice, and if he is too polite, he will see the outside, this money is still a trivial matter, the key is that this Fa student is doing things, and it is quite comfortable. Originally, I wanted to give a reward, and other people around me would pay for it, but it was not good to refuse at that time, and it was even worse not to refuse; doesn't give a reward, Chang Jing has already greeted herself, and she is a little embarrassed on her face. Fa Sheng's arrangement is appropriate, the amount of reward is just right, the key is to take the initiative to do things, and before I say it, I will do it, which is worry-free. Thinking of this, Lu Yan looked at Lu Zifeng, who had already gotten up and was standing beside him, and saw that he looked indifferent, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said, "Come, let's go back to the private room and continue to drink, this Chang Jingshu said well today." We're going to have a few more drinks. ”

Everyone accompanied Dean Lu and returned to the private room.

"What do you think of what Chang Jing said today? Everybody's talking about it. Lu Yan proposed.

Hearing this, everyone fell into thought.

"Or, Liang Xiu, let's talk about it first, you are a student of the scriptures, and your views in this regard should be stronger than those of learning chess, talk about your thoughts."

"Okay, Dean Lu, I'll throw bricks and lead the jade first. I think we should sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and recuperate. In the past few years, we and the Wei State year after year, the people are miserable, at this time although the Northern Wei Dynasty is in civil strife, but it has just begun, has not hurt the fundamentals, we should not be in a hurry to send troops, but should vigorously develop internal affairs, build water conservancy, encourage production, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, after a few years, the Northern Wei Dynasty will inevitably be greatly injured, and then we will send troops, then we can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Well, Zifeng, what do you think?" Seeing that Liang Xiu finished speaking, Lu Yan did not ask Chen Fan, but continued to ask Lu Zifeng.

"As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness and kill him, I think we should not just send a general to the expedition, but should raise the strength of the whole country, mobilize the army, attack the Northern Wei Dynasty, and complete the work for one battle."

"Well, what about Zhongkai?"

"I agree with Zifeng's statement, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again, at this time, it is natural to send a large army to conquer, so that the Northern Wei Dynasty can not take care of the beginning, even if it cannot destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it must also make him lose his vitality and no longer be able to look south."

"What do you think?"

"I think it depends on material, financial, and human resources, what are our current food reserves? Is there any money in the treasury? How many personnel in the troop can be mobilized? To know this, can we decide whether or not to send troops? How to send troops? How to fight? ”

"Well, Fa Sheng, this is an old man's serious words."

"Okay, let's fill up the wine and see what those guys are up to." After knowing everyone's opinions on Chang Jing's storytelling, Dean Lu decided to harass Dean Wei first, and it is estimated that the students on the side of the economics department will also have some arguments about whether to fight or peace, so they just went to see the fun.

"Little Er, take us to the private room where Dean Xia Wei is." Dean Lu stood up and commanded.

"Okay, this way, please." Fortunately, Xiao Er is also an old man in this store, and he is more familiar with the guests, so he immediately took Dean Lu and a few people to the door of the private room where Dean Wei was.

Sure enough, there was a lot of noise inside, "Xiao Er, go to the announcement, and say that the one next door is here to toast." ”

"Okay." Xiao Er ran inside.

In fact, it's okay to go in directly, after all, they know each other, meet each other in the restaurant and toast each other, and it doesn't matter much if they report or not, but if the relationship between the two is average, or even a little unpleasant to each other, then etiquette is very important, otherwise the other party will say who let you in, understand the rules or not, how embarrassing, Dean Lu will not make this kind of mistake.

"Dean Lu, just come in directly, we are all old acquaintances, why do you still let people report?" Dean Wei came out with a smile and greeted him, if he hadn't seen the previous scene, Chen Fan would definitely think that the two of them had a good relationship.
