Chapter 448 Your Excellency, Chen Ping, haven’t you asked the young master for advice?

Time passed by, and a few days later, in a county town in the hometown of Wei State.

A group of people appeared at the gate of the county town covered in dust.

"Slave, we will rest here for the night today."

Zhao Lang looked at the slightly familiar county seat and said, this is where he rescued Shang Yan'er.

"Miss Shang, ask Xiao Liu to accompany you to contact the people in the caravan."

The reason why Zhao Lang chose this place was so that Shang Yan'er could quickly contact the caravan.

Then start trading again as soon as possible.

He needs money now, but he has safety concerns in mind.

I won't let Shang Yan'er lead the team in person. The trade route has been developed anyway, so just let the people below run.

Shang Yan'er can still go to Goguryeo and the court of Donghu.

Soon, a few people arrived at the city gate, and as usual, no one checked their identities.

But Zhao Lang discovered something different,

"Why do there seem to be so many more Confucian scholars?"

Zhao Lang looked at the pedestrians wearing Confucian scholar's clothes and said a little strangely.

You know, in today's Great Qin, scholars are very valuable.

You can hardly see many of them in ordinary counties.

But this time when I arrived at the city gate, I saw many Confucian scholars.

Of course, no one else could answer him.

Soon, Zhao Lang led people into the city and arrived at the inn first.

After checking the sky, he asked Xiao Liu to take Shang Yan'er to the caravan's contact point first.

Zhao Lang was in the inn, thinking about whether to go to Jiyuan to inquire about the situation. Although there were no lowly people there, there was still no problem in getting some information.

Just looking at Ji Wushuang and Ying Yinman next to him, Zhao Lang chose to give up.

I plan to go out to a wine shop or restaurant to get some news.

At this moment, I heard the owner of the inn yelling at a middle-aged Confucian scholar dressed in simple clothes,

"Even if you are a scholar, you still have to pay room fees."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar quickly explained,

"Staff, I encountered a thief today. I didn't mean to default on the rent."

"I don't care about this. If you don't have money, just give it to me..."

Before the shop owner could finish speaking, he was blocked by a bag of money.

"Housekeeper, this is the Confucian scholar's rent, you can leave now."

Zhao Lang gave the shop owner a bag of half a pound of Qin money.

I didn’t embarrass the other party. It was not wrong for others to open a store and collect money.

"Send us some more drinks and food."

"Yes, yes, thank you sir!"

The shop owner weighed the money in his hand and replied with a smile.

After the shop owner left, the middle-aged Confucian scholar said,

"Thank you very much, young master, for your help. Please leave your name. I will definitely repay you next time."

Zhao Lang showed a smile and said extremely humbly,

"Your Excellency, you are so polite. Actually, I have something to ask of you. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to have a drink with me."

Zhao Lang was already familiar with this method of making friends.

The middle-aged scholar looked at the food and wine prepared by the shop owner, sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile,

"Then I'll excuse you."

Soon, the two of them took their seats, with slaves waiting on their side.

Ji Wushuang couldn't sit still. After saying hello, he and Ying Yinman went back to their respective rooms.

Only then did Zhao Lang enter the topic and began to be polite and said,

"I don't know your name yet."

In Da Qin, there is a way to make friends with Confucian scholars. This is etiquette.

Confucian scholars do not like rude people.

Of course, if Gongyang dares to be so naive, that's another matter.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar returned with a smile,

"My lord, Chen Ping, haven't you asked the young master for advice?"

Zhao Lang was slightly startled when he heard this name.

He really remembered someone named Chen Ping, but it couldn't be such a coincidence, right?

It's just that he has no way to verify it, after all, he doesn't remember the other party's detailed information.

"Sir?"

Chen Ping saw Zhao Lang in a daze and shouted again.

Zhao Lang quickly recovered and said,

"Sorry, your name is the same as that of an old friend of mine, so I got distracted."

"I'm Zhao Lang."

Chen Ping's eyes lit up and he smiled,

"Is there such a coincidence? No wonder I feel a little affectionate when I see Young Master Lang."

As I said before, as long as a Confucian scholar wants to have a good chat with you, it will be a very pleasant thing.

"Gongzi Lang said something happened earlier, but I don't know what it is?"

After some pleasantries, Chen Ping took the initiative to ask.

Zhao Lang replied with a smile,

"When I just entered the city, I saw many Confucian scholars in the city, but I didn't know why."

Chen Ping couldn't help but smile and said,

"It seems that Gongzi Lang has been very busy these days."

"A few days ago, Confucian scholars in the world received a message from the head of Confucianism, announcing the news of his disciples."

"Invite Confucian scholars to Liaodong. When I was young, I once had a relationship with the Confucian leader."

"Furthermore, the Confucian leader's disciples are also related to the inheritance of my Confucianism, so I want to go north to Liaodong."

"I just didn't expect that my money would be stolen when I arrived here after a long journey."

"It seems I can only find a job here first."

By the time Chen Ping finished speaking, Zhao Lang's eyes had lit up and he said,

"The Confucian leader is now in Liaodong?"

His base is Liaodong. If the Confucian leader is there, wouldn't he have the opportunity to recruit some talents?

There are very few Confucian scholars today, but they are still very useful.

Just look at your own teacher, a rural teacher, who taught the children of Zhuangzi very well.

If you are more courageous, if you can get on the line with the Confucian leader, what benefits will you get.

Needless to say!

The leader of the Confucian scholars in the world, this is a terrifying existence that has the power to speak in China!

Just look at the dynasties after the Qin Dynasty. No matter who they were, in addition to internal competition within Confucianism, as long as they offended scholars, how many of them would end well?

Chen Ping thought that Zhao Lang thought the place was too far away and said,

"Well, Liaodong is a bit remote."

"But we Confucian scholars should travel around the world and increase our knowledge, so that we can become knowledgeable."

Zhao Lang listened to the other party's words, no matter whether the other party was the Chen Ping in his memory.

Based on today's conversation alone, the other party is definitely a good talent. If you meet him, you will never let him go.
