Chapter 256 I directly used Wu Hou’s works to fool you

"Sir, you fish here every day, why do you use a straight hook without bait?" Jiang Lu looked at the extraordinary man in front of him, who had been fishing here for more than a month.

Gu Shanhai said slowly: "Why do you think I'm fishing?"

"This" Jiang Lu is a little confused. In your situation, what are you doing instead of fishing?

"Little friend Jiang, I heard that you are a member of the royal family?" Gu Shanhai asked again.

But before Jiang Lu could say anything, the vendor next door joked: "Who in this sericulture village is not a member of the royal family?"

The villagers living in Cansang Village all have the national surname Jiang, and they are all descendants of Prince Dongxian of the Long Dynasty. Later, there were more people, and they were the concubines of the side clan. They could not inherit the title, nor could their family background.

, gradually there will be no difference between ordinary people.

In other words, using the name of a royal family member is a bit more bluffing.

But the name is real, and the family has a family tree.

Jiang Lu also looked helpless, and then said: "My ancestor Chengyin is not worth mentioning."

He didn't know why Gu Shanhai asked him this. In his early years, he also had a famous teacher and learned the art of war. With the art of war passed down from his family, he was somewhat capable. Although he was a military master now, he didn't have any Taoist soldiers in his hands.

.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that as a white man, he is simply not qualified to support Taoist soldiers. Besides, he can't afford to raise him.

Now he is so depressed that he sells home-grown vegetables for a living every day. There is no royal arrogance, not to mention that his neighbors are all in agreement with him.

Yes, Gu Shanhai was fishing behind his stall. The street they were on was built along the river, and the two of them communicated from time to time.

From the exchanges between Jiang Lu and Gu Shanhai, he could clearly detect Gu Shanhai's talent, and he was a great talent.

"Hmm~ I didn't ask the right question." Gu Shanhai smiled.

During this month's inspection, we found that Jiang Lu is indeed a good person, he truly values ​​friendship, and he has a very good reputation in this area.

A few years ago, he was even promoted as a filial and honest person, but for some unknown reason, he failed to become an official.

In the Long Dynasty, becoming an official was not based on the imperial examination, but on recommendation. That is to say, if you want to be an official, you must first be recommended by someone. After the recommendation is made, someone will come to inspect your reputation, behavior, etc. in the local area. If you are qualified

If so, then you can become an official in the court, otherwise, no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to use it.

"It's just that little friend Jiang is now in his thirties, why is he alone?" Gu Shanhai asked.

It means why are you still not married when you are thirty?

"Why should a man be without a wife?" Jiang Lu said with some embarrassment. Generally speaking, a man would already have a family and start a business at the age of sixteen, and there were only a few like him.

"Good ambition, but my little friend Guanjiang seems to be very talented, why have I been so depressed so far?" What Gu Shanhai said was a bit devoid of emotional intelligence. What he said just now was at best a joke to urge you to get married, but now he is just talking about how you can still make money in a month.

It looks like one thousand and two.

Hearing this, Jiang Lu's eyes dimmed a little: "It's bad luck, alas~"

"What a man sighing, it's really unlucky." Gu Shanhai said, he took out a book and said: "You gave me half a month of vegetables. I have "Sixteen Cheap Strategies" in my hand, so I gave it back.

You have a plan."

"Sir, don't be joking." Jiang Lu was also startled, so he said immediately.

"I never joke. Do you want it or not? If you don't want it, I won't give it to you." Gu Shanhai joked again.

"Why is this gentleman teaching me?" When Jiang Lu heard this, his expression changed. The other party was a great talent, and the strategy he gave was definitely not a simple thing.

"No, among these sixteen strategies, I don't know which one Jiang Xiaoyou wants?" Gu Shanhai said.

"But sir, I don't know what these sixteen strategies are? How do I know which strategy I want?" Jiang Lu was a little confused.

"What's the difficulty? Just choose a number from these sixteen strategies." Gu Shanhai said to this, you can just pick it.

Jiang Lu was hesitating in his mind at this time. Since he didn't know what to do, only God knew.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, I want to make the first move!"

"Aren't you going to change it?" Gu Shanhai said with a hint of joking in his expression.

"I won't change it." Jiang Lu understood that he couldn't choose both sides, he could only choose one.

"Okay, this is your choice." Gu Shanhai stood up and packed away the fishing gear, then took out a piece of cloth and handed it to Jiang Lu. There was a large series of small characters written on the cloth, and then he said: "This fish,

You are really stupid. If you don’t take the bait, you won’t come tomorrow.”

Jiang Lu respectfully took the cloth from Gu Shanhai, and then watched Gu Shanhai leave with some confusion.

Why is the fish so stupid if it doesn't take the bait?

Then he lowered his head and looked at the policy on the cloth, and his pupils shrank.

This policy is called governing the country.

"Governing a country is like running a family. A person who governs a family must establish its foundation. If the foundation is established, the end will be right." Jiang Lu read in a low voice, thinking over each word one by one. At that moment, he seemed to see someone.

Compared with the books written by great sages handed down from ancient times to the teachers I worshiped in my early years, they are like sparrows and swans.

At this moment, he understood why Gu Shanhai said that the fish was too stupid to take the bait.

What kind of fish did Gu Shanhai catch? It was clearly him. He had been inspecting himself this month.

When he finished reading and looked up again, Gu Shanhai's figure had disappeared. Only then did he come back to his senses. Unknowingly, more than half an hour had passed.

After reading it, he felt like he was in another world.

So he hurriedly started to pack up his stall, planning to visit Gu Shanhai.

"Xiao Lu, why did you close the stall?" The person at the stall next to him asked with some confusion. If it was a weekday, how could he close the stall so early?

"Something's wrong, I'm busy." Jiang Lu didn't explain anything and left.

"It's not stable at all. No wonder it's 30 years old and still nothing has been accomplished." Someone on the side couldn't stand it and muttered in a low voice.

Jiang Lu didn't care about this at all, his current idea was to become a disciple!

But he also knows one thing, that is, it is impossible to go to the apprenticeship empty-handed, you must take care of yourself.

Under normal circumstances, the bundles are made of dried meat or bacon. One bundle is ten strips of dried meat. This is the basic market. If it goes up, there are even silk, gold, silver, jade, etc., given

The more there are, the more attention it means.

With Jiang Lu's financial resources, there is no way to buy ten pieces of dried meat. As the lowest level, if you want to eat meat, you have to buy some during the holidays.

"Sell the little land at home." Jiang Lu also received corresponding education, so he naturally knew the choice.

He could see the great talent in this article "Governing the Country". Now that such an opportunity was in front of him, he naturally couldn't just give it up.

In the evening, Jiang Lu stood on the door wall of the house where Gu Shanhai lived and knocked respectfully.

In his hand were ten strips of dried meat.

Gu Shanhai opened the door and saw Shu Xiu in the other person's hand, and he also smiled: "It seems that this fish is not that stupid."

"Sir, you are joking. It's stupid, it's really stupid." Jiang Lu handed the bundle to Xiu, with a hint of self-deprecation in his tone.

After Gu Shanhai took it, he took him into the house.

"Have you thought about it?" Gu Shanhai sat on the main seat and said in a calm tone: "I am not one of those great sages. I can't teach you much, and I can't help you go further in your official career. .”

"My admiration for your talent, sir. If it was just for fame and fortune, why would you bother me for more than a month?" Jiang Lu said, and his face straightened: "Sir, you don't mind that Jiang Lu has accomplished nothing in his prime years. How dare you say this with your heart."

In Jiang Lu's eyes, Gu Shanhai is just like doing charity. Otherwise, how could he come to him? If the other party values ​​him so much, he must also be treated as a teacher.

"If that's the case, then let's do it like this." Gu Shanhai meant to become his disciple.

Because one was really poor and the other was not famous, no one knew about it, so there was not much fanfare. Jiang Lu offered tea to Gu Shanhai and bowed, which was enough to seal the relationship between master and disciple.

"One of my sects inherited Xuanzhen and transformed into the Five Elements. You can call yourself a member of the Five Elements sect. There is a senior brother up there. I won't mention it. He is gone."

"Besides, you and he have learned different things, so you don't have to worry about it."

Gu Shanhai said casually, thinking that he had deceived another disciple. He was a bit older, but the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, was not young himself. After all, Jiang Lu was not even thirty yet, so he was a fast-moving man. It's the third level.

"Do you have any doubts about today's article on "Governing the Country"?" Gu Shanhai asked after drinking tea.

"There are still some, please ask the teacher to clear up any doubts."

After deciding on the title of master and apprentice, Jiang Lu changed his title.

As for the previous famous teacher, there was still a difference in treatment from Gu Shanhai. The famous teacher did not have a master-disciple relationship with him, but was more like a school, and he was not a serious student, but an auditor.

It was different here with Gu Shanhai. The two were serious masters and apprentices, and they would pass on the mantle in the future. Jiang Lu would even have to provide for Gu Shanhai in his old age.

So naturally I got closer to Gu Shanhai and asked questions directly.

After asking and answering, Gu Shanhai nodded with satisfaction: "What you have learned is not bad. In that case, how about taking the remaining fifteen strategies back and reviewing them, and come back tomorrow at Yinshi?"

"Yes, teacher." Jiang Lu estimated his money and finally agreed. If someone is willing to teach, he can't say he won't come because of his livelihood.

"What, are you having trouble?" Gu Shanhai raised his eyebrows.

"No, teacher, I will definitely arrive tomorrow." Of course, Jiang Lu couldn't say that he had no money.

However, who Gu Shanhai was, he could see the other party's embarrassment at a glance, so he smiled: "Since you are here, I can't let you go in vain. After all, you are my disciple."

With that said, Gu Shanhai took out some more broken silver.
