Chapter 172: The Great Confucian Master who took the initiative to post upside down

Li Ming was immediately unhappy, it seemed that he was deliberately ignoring Yao Chuan, and immediately changed his face to cast a slight hostility towards Wang Duxiu.

"Hey, I said what are you Wang Duxiu doing here? The old man said that he wanted to accept the Lin boy as an apprentice before the poetry meeting began, and you persuaded me one by one, but now it's good, that kid made a quatrain for the ages to show his talent and talent, you old guys don't want to come and rob the old man with their faces?! ”

Li Ming's meaning when he said this was actually obvious, first expressing his dissatisfaction with Wang Duxiu, which also showed how sought-after Lin Yanchen's jade is now, and he slapped Yao Chuan's previous evaluation even harder.

But Wang Duxiu suddenly said that he didn't really want to grab an apprentice with Li Ming, although Lin Yanchen was very good, he couldn't help but love talents, but he knew that his ability was limited and he couldn't afford the position of Lin Yanchen's teacher, Li Ming wanted to accept it, so he would put it away, anyway, Lin Yanchen might not agree.

He had no intention of accepting apprentices, but he still said so, in the final analysis, it was for Li Ming.

He knows very well what kind of stubborn temper Li Ming is, since he is-for-tat with Yao Chuan because of Lin Yanchen, then only by pulling this kid can Li Ming change the topic.

Otherwise, he and Yao Chuan will completely break with each other, and with Yao Chuan's means and connections, even if Li Ming is a long-famous Confucian, it will be difficult to promote it if there are any works in the future.

These great Confucians look glorious on weekdays, but in fact, they have a lot of last resort.

For example, if you write a book, no matter how good you write, someone has to read it, right?

Then these dissemination, transcription, sales, operation, etc., which they literati who have read books for half their lives, do not understand at all, and they all rely on the connections and resources of the royal family and wealthy businessmen to do it.

It can be said that as long as the dissemination is in place, even if the work is not excellent, with the blessing of fame, the feedback will not be less.

And they Da Zheng, because Yao Chuan is the master of Zhou Yuanming, the sixth prince of the imperial family, basically the best resources and connections of Confucianism are in Yao Chuan's hands.

In addition, over the years, countless literati and Confucian scholars have visited him to ask him for help, which has made his network resources snowball.

It can be said that from now on, all of Li Ming's works will not be disseminated, copied and sold through the means of the royal family.

This will directly affect the economic income and growth of Li Ming's branch.

Moreover, there is a great probability that Li Ming's other channels in private will not be used, businessmen have been chasing interests since ancient times, and once they learn that Li Ming is in decline, they are naturally unwilling to take risks.

Even if the quality is uneven, with the blessing of fame, there are still many people who are willing to pay, and the merchants will not worry about sales, so they will invest heavily in arranging for people to copy and circulate and sell every time.

Only need a low labor cost, you can have a geometric return, the richest group in the world today is not the Qinglou regulars, but these literati.

It is now difficult for the poor to step into Confucianism and Taoism, and in order to give better resources to their younger generations, rich families are naturally willing to buy Confucianism's works with a lot of money.

This is the same as studying physics without Einstein.

It is such a businessman who is tilted towards profit, who is respectful to you in the last second, counting on you to publish books to make money.

But as long as it is known that Li Ming has offended Yao Chuan, a figure who can speak in the royal family, it is very likely that Li Ming's works will be banned and banned from sale, and in this case, the merchants engaged in copying and selling will definitely avoid it.

No one wants to work hard to invest a lot of money and manpower, and in the end, the book is not sold and all the money is put in, and there is a risk of offending Yao Chuan, which is not worth it.

Compared with Li Ming, the works that can be obtained from Yao Chuan are naturally better.

In the name of the first poet in the world, he made a collection of Confucian poems, and the price was as much as they said at that time, even if it was inflated, it was still sold to the extent that there was no market.

Especially for the young rich man who likes to save face, the pursuit of everyone's ladies and well-known talented women on weekdays does not rely on vulgar money, but on conversation and talent.

Once there is a collection of Confucian poems, which is full of B-style, it can also set off its own style a lot more elegantly.

And these things, how can Li Ming, a veteran Confucian, not know?

But he just has to take the risk of being blocked and burying his future to destroy himself.

He knew that he was not too sure about accepting Lin Yanchen as an apprentice, although he was a great Confucian, there were not a few great Confucians present.

Thinking about it from another perspective, why didn't Lin Kid worship the same Confucian, but came to worship him, a great Zheng person?

But Li Ming's desire to accept disciples for Lin Yanchen has reached its peak, and he longed for himself to reach the level of a half-saint in the first half of his life, but the tempering of the years has made him realize the reality, and the end of his life has long been seen to the end.

So in the second half of his life, he pinned his hopes on being able to accept a talented apprentice, continue his ambition, and cultivate a saint in Confucianism, but he was more proud than becoming a saint himself!

Throughout history, every Confucian teacher has been buried with the most solemn ceremony in the world after his death, and even the emperor has to mourn in person, not to mention that he will leave a strong mark in history!

It's more impressive than simply going down in history!

Therefore, Lin Yanchen, a twenty-year-old demon who made a quatrain for the ages, he Li Ming has to accept it!

Even if the other party practices martial arts, he really doesn't believe it, why can't Confucianism and martial arts practice together, if there is no precedent, then he will set this precedent!

It is precisely because of this decisiveness that Li Ming deeply understands that only now by letting Lin Yanchen have a kind of knowing of himself can he take the opportunity to accept him as a disciple.

Even as long as he succeeds in accepting apprentices, he Li Ming can find a reason to live in Daming, so that he doesn't have to be influenced by Yao Chuan, it's just that his works will be a little unsuitable if they are disseminated in different countries.

As long as Yao Chuan apologizes to Lin Yanchen in public today, then this matter will spread to the world very quickly, and his reputation as Yao Chuan will plummet, and Lin Yanchen will quickly rise to become the new first person in the world.

And all of this is fueled by him Li Ming, as long as Lin Yanchen accepts this kindness, plus sends some Confucian gifts, he will not worry about not apprenticing!

This kind of upside-down behavior of Confucianism, he believes that even Lin Yanchen can't refuse.

But the biggest difficulty at the moment is also this, so Yao Chuan will not apologize in public even if he doesn't have an old face, and Li Ming can't force it.

"Now that you're over, let's go on, the next position of the poet is the most important thing tonight, and I don't want to see such a farce happen again."

At this moment, the majestic voice of Changsun Yi sounded again, she had just calmed down the waves in her heart, and her tone was still a little excited at the moment.
