As the Xiangguo of Qi State, Yan Ying's mansion is naturally not small.

But when Li Yunze moved in with two or three hundred people, he couldn't live anymore immediately.

If the servants who were forced to vacate their rooms were complaining, the kitchen servants were devastated.

There are hundreds of mouths to eat at once, and each of them is a big stomach king who is gobbling up, and the meal is measured in buckets.

This kind of thing is indeed a nightmare for the servants who cook and deliver food.

Fortunately, Yan Ying, who is the owner's family, doesn't care.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing, if it were placed in the modern world, would have started a long time ago.

But in this era, the guests take the initiative to visit, which is a very face-saving thing, and they must be responsible for taking care of the guests, eating and drinking well, sleeping well, entertaining well, and giving gifts when leaving, so that the host will have face.

Yan Ying was warmly entertained, delicious and drunk, and took Li Yunze around to show the customs and strong national strength of Qi State.

Li Yunze accepted this one by one, but when he mentioned the topic of the Qi Kingdom, he directly avoided talking about it.

He's really not interested in that.

On this day, the King of Qi held a banquet in the palace to entertain Li Yunze, a famous man, and many nobles of Qi attended one after another.

Li Yunze has really become a celebrity, at least in the land of Qilu, he is respected as a divine shooter, the fastest man Yunyun.

Just the fact that he shot and killed Yoyuki on the battlefield was enough for him to lie down and eat for decades.

The palace of King Qi is very large, luxuriously decorated, and there is absolutely no silver where gold can be used, which looks very imposing.

The people who accompanied him also gathered the great nobles of the Qi country, and the major nobles came to participate in the banquet with great face.

Li Yunze is more concerned about Tian's family.

The Tian family was surprised in the eyes of later generations, after all, he seized the monarch's country as a courtier.

But in this era, it is a common thing.

The courtiers of this era said that they were courtiers, but in fact they were more like small princes, they had their own fiefs and armies, which were completely different from the so-called courtiers of later generations.

This is the real reason for the Tian family's generation of Qi and the division of the three families.

As long as you think about the fact that the small princes have become big and replaced the previous monarchs and big princes, this matter is easy to understand.

Most of the nobles of Qi have seen Li Yunze's majestic posture on the battlefield, so his attitude is not bad, after all, he has real skills and is supported by real achievements.

As for Qi Gong, he was even more enthusiastic.

Not only did he pour wine for Li Yunze in person, but he also said that he knew that you liked music, so he specially summoned famous musicians from all over the country to gather and play music for you.

When the sound of "Shao" music echoed in the palace, Li Yunze hooked the corners of his mouth and closed his eyes.

In history, when Kong Lao Er arrived in Qi State, the nobles did not treat him well, and the King of Qi only treated him as an ordinary foreign guest.

Even, when the King of Qi was about to distribute the fields to Kong Lao Er according to the traditional practice, Yan Ying directly prevented him and said that he could not give him the fields.

Why is the treatment so different?

No one knows better than Li Yunze, this is because Kong Lao Er can speak well, but he can only speak well.

This era is not an era in which future generations can mix up a good life by playing lip service, and in this era when the country may die at any time, the kings and family masters need talents who can do practical things.

The literary ones must be able to increase the material income, and the martial ones must be able to fight enough!

In history, Kong Lao Er also talked about character from the heart, which was useless in actual affairs.

Since it is useless, the king and the heads of the family naturally have little interest in him.

But Li Yunze is here, but in front of everyone, he has intuitively demonstrated his strong strength.

To put it bluntly, this is an era of practicality, and useful will naturally be sought after, and official positions, fiefdoms, reputations, and statuses are all given to you on the pole.

When it's useless, then naturally no one cares.

It's a pity that later dynasties gradually began to pursue uselessness, engaging in moral and heart-to-heart talks, so they began to retreat and not be pragmatic.

As a result, it is written in the history books that the barbarians, who were originally looked down upon, took turns driving trains.

Li Yunze's purpose in innovating Confucianism is also very simple, that is, to lay the foundation of pragmatism and not retreat.

Only by being pragmatic can we make progress and develop strongly.

And retreat is to talk nonsense, and there is no other use than to raise waste.

In the face of Qi Guo's enthusiasm, Li Yunze's response was very simple: "Thank you for the hospitality of the old irons, I will show you a talent, and this matter will be considered in the past." ’

Li Yunze once again played the mountains and flowing water with the guzheng in the palace, which won the applause of the whole house.

And then there was no then.

After the banquet in the palace was over, Li Yunze took the initiative to find Yan Ying and ask him for help.

"Admissions?"

"That's right, admissions."

Li Yunze said with a smile: "A certain person is interested in education, there are many outstanding people here in Qi Country, and there are many outstanding students, and a certain also wants to recruit some outstanding disciples." ”

"That's a good thing." Yan Ying smiled and said, "I can't ask for it if I can worship under your door." ”

Li Yunze engaged in education, not only did he teach without class, but he also did not charge tuition fees and apprenticeship ceremonies, and he also included food and accommodation.

This generous treatment and reputation can be described as unique here in the land of Qilu.

In fact, many people want to worship under Confucianism, but although Li Yunze has no class, that is, whether you are from a noble background, a Chinese background or a savage background, you are willing to teach, but there are still preconditions for accepting apprentices.

The first is to know the big seal, which is the common script of this era.

You don't need to be proficient, but at least you need to be able to understand it.

Li Yunze is engaged in elite education, not basic education.

The second is that although Li Yunze accepts students regardless of age, he is not accepted if he is too young or too old.

He is here to teach and educate people, not to be a nanny and nurse.

Then there is the need to have a good physique.

The first test for applying for the Confucian entrance exam is to be able to run twelve miles in a stick of incense.

After that, there was a tea time, and the stone lock was lifted fifty times.

A stick of incense takes about 30 minutes, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, one mile is only three or four hundred meters, and twelve miles is less than five kilometers.

It seems that it is not difficult to lift the stone lock fifty times for about ten minutes for a cup of tea, but the requirements for endurance are actually not low.

If you are able to complete this, you will be able to move on to the next interview.

The interview mainly depends on character, after all, even Li Yunze doesn't want to accept scum as a student.

After all, if a scumbag learns his skills, he will only cause more harm to others.

Except for special circumstances, for example, those little brothers of Zilu were all accepted because of Zilu's relationship, and it was not so easy to worship under Confucianism.

With Yan Ying's help, Li Yunze's acceptance of Confucian students in Linzi City went very smoothly.

Not only Linzi City and the suburbs, but even people in nearby towns and towns who got the news have rushed to sign up.

There are always people who think that the ancients were stupid, but in fact, the ancients were not stupid at all.

They know very well that in this era, if they want to change their fate and achieve class promotion, learning knowledge is the best way.

After all, when you were reincarnated, you didn't go to a rich family, which is a congenital mistake that you can't choose.

But if you don't work hard to break out when you grow up, it's the acquired sand sculpture.

It's just that there are too many people who want to change their fate through learning knowledge, and there are only a few places where knowledge can be taught.

Although there are many schools of thought, it is very strict to receive disciples.

Because of the limited resources, the only way to concentrate resources is to cultivate truly gifted disciples.

Not to mention one in a hundred, it is one in a thousand or even one in a thousand.

Like Li Yunze, who casts a wide net like this, there is no semicolon in the world.

It is precisely because of this that there are too many people who come to sign up.

Through Yan Ying's relationship, Li Yunze borrowed a military camp from Qi State as an examination room, and it took more than ten days of hard work to select 300 students from Qi State from among the many people who signed up.

From this point of view, the national strength of Qi is indeed far superior to that of Lu.

Li Yunze has been in Lu Country for so long, and he has only accepted two or three hundred students, but Qi Country has received three hundred students in half a month.

This is not only a gap in population, but also a gap in national strength.

There are more literate people and more able-bodied people.

Among these students, most of them are descendants of the major families of Qi like Sun Wu.

Most of them have received basic education, but because of their low background, it is impossible to get the support and reuse of the family, let alone inherit the family business or something.

So if you want to get ahead, you have to study and go out to work hard.

Li Yunze didn't have any other opinions about the students recruited were mainly the children of the aristocracy.

This is the case in this era, where do ordinary people have time to read and write, let alone keep fit.

In contrast, those who received compulsory education in later generations but were unwilling to study hard should really look at the desperate eyes of those who want to study but can't get it.

There was nothing lacking in Linzi City, and Li Yunze quickly bought a full set of neo-Confucian clothes for the new students, and equipped them with bronze swords and bows.

If there were any more armor, it would be an army.

In fact, Sun Wu also arranged the march in the same way as the drill army.

Out of Linzi City, on the first day, he rushed to the march of fifty miles, and he was tired and vomited that night.

As for blisters on the soles of the feet or something, that's not worth mentioning pediatrics.

Sun Wu shouted and asked, "But someone can't stand it and wants to quit?" ”

The crowd was silent.

"In that case, eat and sleep!"

After leaving Linzi City, Li Yunze led his disciples straight to the Jin Kingdom.

Linzi City and the nearby suburbs are naturally prosperous and lively.

But after leaving Linzi City, the more remote the place, the more there is another specialty of Qi State.

This specialty is called robbers.

Ordinary robbers naturally wouldn't loot a team that looked like an army, not to mention that this team only had a wagon and no goods.

Robbers are for money, not for thrills.

So at the beginning, Li Yunze's road was unimpeded and he did not encounter any danger.

However, as many caravans along the way offered to come along, things gradually changed.

The speed of the march slowed down, and snooping figures appeared around from time to time.

It was clear that a storm was coming.
