Pei Ji's sudden movement immediately attracted the attention of several old men around him.
This group of people are all elite leaders with five surnames and seven hopes. Naturally, they immediately understood that Pei Ji was doing something wrong...
The details of the thoughts may not be so clear, but the subconscious reactions are real.
Pei Ji...probably thought of it or observed something!
In everyone's eyes, the pupils narrowed slightly at this time, leaving hearts.
What happened next was slightly beyond everyone's expectations. Pei Ji didn't observe anything, but it was in line with expectations and what everyone originally planned to do.
then……
The young man looked back curiously and found several old men he didn't recognize.
Each one is dressed in gorgeous and exquisite clothes, and one can tell at a glance that they are either rich or noble.
The young man thought he was an ordinary and famous elder, so he stopped and bowed, "Hello, seniors, what's the matter..."
"Haha...young man, you don't even know me?"
Pei Ji was a little confused, did any of the scholars in the world recognize him?
But in a second thought, this question was explained.
Originally, if all the scholars in the world wanted to get ahead, they had to come to Chang'an to make friends with relatives, especially the great scholars.
And it cannot be an ordinary Confucian scholar, it must be a "famous scholar", that is, someone who is famous.
Like Li Bai in Li Sheng’s memory from his previous life,
It has been said since ancient times that Li Bai was a generous man who did not value money, but... why?
Being bold and generous is certainly a good thing, but does it have some elements of being a spendthrift?
In fact, at that time, Li Bai was spreading his wealth around, not just as a prodigal, but in order to enter the court and realize his political ideals, so he went around seeking recommendations.
That's right, before the emergence of the imperial examination system, at the beginning, and later after its fall, China's talent selection and class mobility mechanisms were basically the same as those in later generations in North America. Letters of recommendation were everything.
Without recommendations, it’s useless no matter how talented you are.
And Pei Ji is undoubtedly the top among celebrities in Chang'an, the best among celebrities.
Even at that time, his reputation was much louder than that of Wei Zheng.
and……
If all the scholars in the world wanted to get ahead, they would naturally come to curry favor with him, Pei Ji.
This has almost become a mindset of Pei Ji.
After all, for so many years, his disciples and old officials have spread all over the world. Which scholar wants to live well without having to fawn on him?
but……
Uh, okay, starting from last year, the Tang Dynasty introduced the imperial examination system...
So, all the famous people in the world came to the door.
The huge influence that could easily influence the government has since become empty.
Finished!
And as a top celebrity among celebrities, how could Pei Ji be spared?
When you see the other person, you don't even know yourself.
Pei Ji was stunned for a few seconds before he smiled awkwardly...
This damn monster Li Sheng has left him with no cards at all.
How hateful!
hateful!
But hate returns hate.
Pei Ji has not forgotten the business. Now... isn't it time to concentrate on investigating this matter so that he can defeat the monster Li Sheng in the future?
After careful consideration, Pei Ji had no choice but to return the favor.
Then he asked, "I wonder where this little brother is going?"
"Oh, senior. I'm not talented, but I'm currently working for the Shenghou's shipyard!"
As he said this, the young man seemed very proud of this, his face shone unconsciously, and he seemed inexplicably more confident than before.
Pei Ji suddenly felt unhappy...
What the hell are you doing here? Are you proud of working for a monster?
It’s simply a ruin of etiquette and joy!
Not only Pei Ji, but also Wang Jing and others behind him, their eyes darkened at this moment.
In their view, if young people do not follow them and learn the way of saints, they are simply unbearable and have inferior moral character. I Datang Pills...
But in the end, he didn't say anything. After all, he was now asking people about things.
Pei Ji smiled awkwardly, then looked at the ship pretending to be ignorant, then turned back curiously to the young man in front of him.
"Uh... turns out I'm doing something for the Holy Marquis! I'm so disrespectful, so old and disrespectful!"
Pei Ji's words were somewhat deliberately sarcastic.
However, what he didn't expect was...
The young man's face became more and more proud for a moment, and he even scratched his hair in embarrassment.
"Hahahahaha... Well, seniors have oversold you. In fact, our Holy Marquis said that education must be spread to everyone in the world, even the elderly. There should also be senior universities for the elderly to study..."
"...Well, if you are serious, senior, you can wait until the Holy Marquis' senior university opens, and then..."
Pei Ji almost fainted.
Young man, your demon content is too high, okay?
That's almost it. Thank you, old man!
But then, after Pei Ji apologized and laughed, he finally got back to business.
"Well, I wonder if I know, how does this big ship... move?"
Pei Ji was half pretending, half sincere, looking curiously at the big ship in the distance.
At this time, the gorgeous and heroic ship, full of design and geometric beauty, has gradually sailed out of the port and entered the ocean.
When this historic moment arrived, all the people around him cheered.
At this moment, there was an indescribable, simple, but extremely real feeling of blessing in the hearts of these people.
Some birds cannot be restrained; their wings are so glorious that you feel it is a sin to restrain them...
That's when.
Naturally, Pei Ji was so angry at this scene that he almost couldn't recite it on the spot, but at least he was old enough to control his emotions and apologized with an embarrassed smile...
This taste is simply sour and refreshing.
When the young man heard this, his face showed that involuntary pride again.
"Don't dare to deceive the old man. This big ship is driven by a steam turbine."
"Steam...turbine?"
In the process of asking questions, Pei Ji.
Wang Jing and others behind him, even though they saw how popular Li Sheng was, they all had strong opinions in their hearts.
After all, this was an honor that once belonged to their five surnames, Qi Wang, and to the great scholars in the world!
But they still suppressed their emotions, knowing that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you can't eat chicken with eggs.
Now...this moment.
The answer is finally revealed!
Turns out I used steam chicken!
However, everyone is still confused and confused as to what this "Steam Rooster" is.
Mad, this is something I have never heard of again.
Could it be...a special breed of chicken?
But how can a chicken push such a big ship to move? It's impossible.
No matter what kind of chicken it is, this is absolutely impossible. Even if you say that the chicken can play Cuju, it would still be reliable.
Pushing a big ship to move, isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
Pei Ji couldn't understand it, and neither could Wang Jing and others behind him.
Although I was momentarily surprised when I heard the keyword, I was completely confused after that.
