Chapter 38 Who knows where the Peach Blossom Spring is
"This..." The two old men whose names are "Ji Weng" and "Shi Weng" both turned red again and were speechless.
If the Tang Dynasty was clear and peaceful, the king was righteous and the ministers were virtuous, of course they could loudly scold Zhang Qian for judging a gentleman with a villain's heart! If every family in the Tang Dynasty was "friendly brothers and respectful brothers, kind and filial sons", of course they could also be justified in scolding Zhang Qian for confusing the public. But at this moment, the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty had become so stinky that the hall was full of fishy smell. As for the people of the Tang Dynasty, there was no shortage of those who had to spend their children to seek wealth at any time!
Therefore, unless you close your eyes and tell lies, they cannot deny that the situation Zhang Qian just mentioned is very likely to happen in reality. In that case, no matter whether Zhang Qian puts the medicine ten or ten thousand coins, the medicine will not fall into the hands of ordinary people. The lower the price, the more disputes it will cause. Instead, marking it at an unattainable price and put it in Chang'an City will save a lot of trouble.
Although the Tang Dynasty was rich, there were no more than fifty families in Chang'an City that could easily take out 100,000 yuan but not hurt the bones. These fifty families either came from the five surnames and seven hopes, or were behind the founding fathers and royal family. The family that could spend 100,000 yuan to buy medicine naturally had the strength to prevent the pill from being robbed by some officials. In this way, Zhang Qian priced the medicine to 100,000 yuan, not only was it not a bad intention, but a kind act after careful consideration. Not only should others not question him, but should praise his wisdom!
The two old men named "Ji Weng" and "Shi Weng" would not have thought that the bizarre pricing of the "Evil-Breaking Pill" was not at all done by Zhang Qian, a young man. It was a decision made by the wealthy businessman Ren Qiong after careful consideration. When it comes to being a scholar and being an official, Ren Qiong is definitely not as good as them. If it comes to doing business and being a good person, Ren Qiong can be twenty streets ahead of them.
Both of them were truly well-educated people and had no shame to make such a move that disregarding the facts. However, it was too difficult for them to admit that Zhang Qian sold medicine at a high price to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and it was really difficult for them to do good. Therefore, after blushing and pondering over and over again, "Ji Weng" chose to sigh again. And the "True Weng" bowed to Zhang Qian awkwardly and quickly changed the topic, "If there is only one in the world, I really have nothing to say. But is my friend really a child of the Mo family? I heard that my friend's words are so sharp that he is not inferior to the Zongheng family at all?"
This is the question he really cares about. No matter what the price of the "Evil-Breaking Pill" is sold, he will not buy it himself. He will not look for trouble and pick things around in order to show his existence. In order to show his existence, he will be willing to spend his limited time on some interesting things, such as betting with his old friend "Ji Weng" around him, and win it many times.
"Why did your father say this?!" The topic was a little unexpectedly changed. Zhang Qian was stunned and immediately became aware of his vigilance. "Who said that when a Mo family was thrown into his head, he could not defend himself? If only the priests of the throne were good at reasoning, during the Warring States Period, the Mo family's ancestors ran around to dissolve the war, what was the reliance on?"
But all these sentences were answered to the point, and immediately, the old man named "Shiweng" was speechless. The Mohist advocated "either love, not attack" and practiced it personally. What can be clearly seen in historical materials are seven or eight wars that were stopped by the ancestor Mozi and his disciples, and those who were not recorded in historical materials are probably more!
If only relying on a few weapons ahead of the times and the passion of a few people, I am afraid that Mo Zhai and his direct descendants would have died completely, and they would not have the chance to be one of the top five of the various schools of thought, and they would have passed on them from generation to generation. Therefore, in most cases, Mo Zhai and his direct descendants were still "conquering people with reason". The art of tongue debate they mastered was the same as the weapons in their hands, and they were among the top at the time. "This statement is very reasonable. You are too obsessed with the surface!" See "
"The old man in the fairy style who was called "Ji Weng" by his friends was quickly replaced by gloating. He smiled and gave Zhang Qian a loud voice, "Although the wise men are good at tongue debate, they are mostly sophistry and boastful. They have no foundation and are only rich and noble. However, the Mohist family is both able to speak and good at doing things, and they are even more criterion-making. They do things with the principle of "promoting the benefits of the world and eliminating the harm of the world". They will not learn from the wild grass and fall with the wind! My friend, is this true?"
"What my father-in-law said is very true!" Since he pretended to be a child of the Mo family and others praised his master, Zhang Qian certainly could not deny it. He immediately smiled and bowed, "Thank you, my father-in-law, I feel very honored!"
"Don't be busy thanking me!" Unexpectedly, the purpose of "Wing Ji" was not just to compete with his old friend "Shi Weng" to see who's judgment is accurate. He smiled and waved his hand, and continued, "Do you dare to ask me, who made this medicine? Can't you really make a second dose?"
'So you are also here for the prescription. I just thought you were a kind elder.' Zhang Qian felt a warning in his heart, frowned, and responded coldly, "This medicine was made by the master's sect. When he went down the mountain, he brought two portions. One was used on the owner of Ren, and the other portion was in Chang'an City at this moment, as my father saw it! I didn't know the prescription or refine it. In fact, Zhang hoped that someone could make a second portion. In that case, Zhang would have less trouble. At least, he would not be punished by others at any time!"
After saying that, he glanced at the guy named "Guan Weng" from the corner of his eyes and took another step. It seemed that if he walked a little slower, he would be blocked by these guys who were "disrespectful to the old".
Although "Jie Weng" was nearly fifty years old, his eyes were not lost and his ears were not deaf. He was so embarrassed that his face turned red and almost bleeding from such obvious contemptuous behavior of Zhang Qian, but he gritted his teeth and chased after him for a few steps and explained loudly: "I understand what my friend means. If I could have one more dose of this medicine in the world, there would not be so many people who looked at me. I did not want to mess around, nor did I want to plot my friend's prescription. I just thought that since my friend's teacher can make this medicine, if I could go back and get more, wouldn't more people in the world be rescued?"
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat beads from his forehead, and he continued to replenish wishfully, "My friend calls himself a child of the Mo family, and the Mo family takes saving the world as the key. My friend..."
"My father said this very much, but I can't go back next time!" Before the person finished speaking, Zhang Qian interrupted with a sigh.
If he could go back to the 21st century, would he wait until now? Not to mention that the Tang Dynasty's court is in chaos, if he might be able to do it one day, he would be affected by his "pool fish". What is the appeal of this kind of life without the Internet, no mutton skewers, no TV, movies and novels, and if he suffers a little injury, he may die of infection?
Others travel through time, at least they can be upgraded, and the old man can protect him! When he stomped his feet, he would bow his head and bow his head, and a beauties would cry and shout and throw themselves into his arms. The beauties were all nine-headed and turbulent. And from the beginning to now, he met a Zijuan, who was still a minor washboard, who could neither look at nor eat.
"Why, I heard from others that the Master Sect is not living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain?" Seeing that the loneliness on Zhang Qian's face did not seem to be disguised, the father-in-law "Ji Weng" could not bear it and was curious in his heart, frowned and digging into the bottom of it. "Although Zhongnan Mountain is vast, send more people to find it, there will always be a chance to find where your Master Sect is!"
'It seems that in order to sell medicine, Ren Zhuang promoted all my words!' With Zhang Qian's intelligence, how could he have imagined how the other party could touch his background so clearly? So he smiled and sighed again, and gave the long-prepared answer, "Zhongnan Mountain is indeed not vast, but how about Wuling? Since Tao Yuanming's fisherman, has anyone found the Peach Blossom Land?" The first update, please support from Qingzhou.
