Chen Ping didn't take the incident at the cultural gathering seriously. Wang Linsheng was just a clown, and he was just asking for trouble.
After a while, Chen Tianrui sent someone to deliver a message, and Zhao Jin had replied.
Chen Ping hurriedly said hello to Cheng Cheng and the dean, and left the cultural meeting.
The two exchanged pleasantries when they met, and then Chen Ping asked about Li Feng.
"Today's Li Feng is already Captain Zhenwei. He is completely different from the Li Feng you once knew."
Chen Ping was not surprised, "As the saying goes, you may not be able to teach someone in a lifetime, but when it comes to teaching something, sometimes one time is enough. Besides, he has been practicing on the battlefield for so long, so it is different." p>
"How is the situation on the northern border?" Chen Ping asked again softly: "I heard that they fought hard before."
Zhao Jin's brows and eyes were full of worry, "I heard from Li Feng that Beidi and Langya have joined forces several times to harass the border. Like maggots on the tarsus, small frictions are increasing."
It seems that if the stalemate continues, sooner or later there will be an extremely fierce and bloody battle on the border.
Chen Ping became more and more worried. Unfortunately, the mountains were far away and the ability was limited, so he had to tell Zhao Jin to continue brewing alcohol and send it to the north on time every month. Don't worry and spend money to buy more grain.
When the two said goodbye, Zhao Jin handed Chen Ping two letters brought back from the capital.
One is from Mingshi to Xie Zhiyuan, and the other is from Su Yiyi to Chen Ping.
This was indeed something he didn't expect. He thought he had already explained it last time, but he didn't expect Su Yiyi to write to him alone.
Back in Zhuyuan, Cheng Cheng looked at the envelope with gossip and said, "She is persistent. Is she planning to fight you to the end?"
"That's not surprising," Chen Ping said, "I think this girl is quite polite."
Chen Ping is not biased, nor does he think Su Yiyi has any malicious intent.
To be fair, what she said can be regarded as a kind of well-intentioned advice to a certain extent.
But it's a pity that Chen Ping and her are from two different eras.
Chen Ping returned to the room and was a little surprised when he opened the letter.
【Yiyi looks back on the past, and there is indeed something wrong with it.】
The first sentence was about admitting that he was wrong. Chen Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, but he became somewhat interested.
[However, it is still somewhat difficult to agree with what you said about industry and commerce. For example, the people recuperate, have enough food for their own needs, and seek profit. If they do not know the etiquette and laws and do their own thing for the sake of profit, it is still inappropriate after all. 】 At this point, her tone changed and her words became more casual.
[I don’t deny what you said about imperial merchants, righteousness and wealth, but for example, if the years are bad and people flee from famine, some merchants take the opportunity to abduct children and women; or in order to survive, they become bandits and rob and steal...
Such things require literati to standardize laws and the court to establish iron rules, punish evil and promote good. Only in this way can businessmen and craftsmen be given a fair competition environment, isn't it?]
All in all, Su Yiyi still believes that people should focus on studying and not on business.
Chen Ping laughed while reading. This little girl looks at problems from a very tricky perspective.
What she is concerned about is no longer the class division of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but the stability of the entire society.
To put it simply, it’s off topic.
What Su Yiyi said is not about industry and commerce, but about people's livelihood and food and clothing.
It is easy for people to have enough food and clothing, respect etiquette and abide by the law.
But when they didn't have enough to eat or clothing to keep them warm, not to mention businessmen, officials and even emperors were all in panic.
If you want social stability, ultimately you need to make the country rich.
If the imperial court provides food relief to the people, if there is money in the treasury to use as military pay, and to build dams and fortifications, etc., then the people will naturally live and work in peace and contentment. Who would be willing to become a bandit and raise an uprising?
If we want the country to have real peace, the role of the literati, the army, and farmers is indeed important.
But if we want to make the country rich, is it feasible to rely on them alone?
Obviously not, the role of businessmen is essential.
There must be restrictions by court laws, because without restrictions, more problems will arise, so she is not wrong.
It seems that Su Yiyi is not just messing around, but is thinking and discussing seriously.
He is indeed a qualified pen pal!
Chen Ping immediately wrote a reply.
Soon, the courier rushed to deliver the reply to Su Mansion in the capital.
Su Yiyi woke up early in the morning and didn't want the reply to arrive so soon, so she quickly opened the letter.
"Ms. Su can recognize her own shortcomings, and Chen is very pleased!"
The first sentence that caught her eye almost made her roll her eyes angrily, and she quickly rushed into the study, intending to fight again.
Of course this is a later story.
……
After Chen Ping finished writing his reply, he felt refreshed.
I feel like a life mentor, tirelessly teaching a lost sheep, which gives me a sense of accomplishment.
In order to reward myself for doing good deeds every day, I decided to practice piano for an hour and enjoy the wonderful music.
After practicing his piano skills for several days, Zhao Wenhe politely invited Chen Ping out of the Zhuyuan.
Chen Ping wandered around boredly and came to Tianxiang Pavilion.
Tianxiang Pavilion is now one of the most prosperous buildings in Qianzhou and its reputation has spread far and wide.
People who come and go to buy perfume almost line up here, and there is an endless stream of people who make reservations every day.
Chen Tianling saw Chen Ping and ran over quickly.
"Sir! Why are you here? I was planning to go find you."
"You are so busy on weekdays, and it's troublesome to always run to the academy. I have nothing to do today, so I just take a walk." Chen Ping was embarrassed to say that he was kicked out.
"It doesn't matter. Brother is here and he will be back soon." Chen Tianling asked him to sit down.
"Tian Rui went to deliver perfume?"
"Yes, those are all ordered by big families, and we deliver them in person."
Chen Ping nodded. It seems that the two brothers and sisters have a strong sense of service.
Zhao Jin, the store owner of the Beijing branch, has left someone to choose a location there. When everything is ready, Chen Tianrui can go there.
Now it seems that there is no problem. His business and interpersonal skills are sufficient for the job.
"Why are you here?"
A harsh sound interrupted Chen Ping's thoughts.
He looked sideways and saw that it was Wang Linsheng whose face fell to the ground last time. He said with a twitch in the corner of his mouth.
"You haven't left yet. Hasn't the cultural gathering ended long ago?"
Since Wang Linsheng escaped that night, he has become famous in all the academies. In the past few days, his fellow disciples have been avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally.
At this time, I met Chen Ping again. I was so angry that my teeth itched with hatred, and I said with a gloomy face.
"Why should I leave? I am a guest personally invited by Dean Cheng!"
Dean Cheng invited students from major academies, not from any specific school.
Chen Ping smiled and didn't intend to argue with him.
Chen Tianling frowned and stared at the stranger closely.
Wang Linsheng felt even more unhappy when he saw Chen Ping's smile, and his eyes swept over his body.
"You actually came to Tianxiang Pavilion. Are you here to buy perfume too?"
"What's wrong?" Chen Ping asked calmly.
"It's time to buy some to cover up the poor air on your body, otherwise you won't even dare to raise your head when you go out."
There was a "bang" sound.
Chen Tianling threw the account book in his hand under the table and was about to step forward to drive him away.
Chen Ping gave her a subtle look, indicating not to be impulsive.
Tianxiang Pavilion was originally open for business, and there were many customers in the store. It was not a wise move to chase away the customers at this time.
"There is virtue in a humble house, but you are well-dressed, so you should be more careful in your words and deeds." Chen Ping reminded.
"Huh. I'm teaching you with good intentions. Your parents in the countryside work in the fields all day long and can't make much money all year round. They're all wasted by you. It's really unfilial!" Wang Linsheng continued without waiting for Chen Ping to speak.
He said unabashedly: "Ah, yes, yes, maybe your parents didn't provide this money. So what He Qingxuan doesn't have is money?"
Chen Ping put his hands behind his back and looked at him with a somewhat cold look.
You insulted his teacher last time and insulted his parents this time, you really deserve to die!
When Wang Linsheng saw that he was silent, his tone became more and more unkind, and he yelled loudly.
"Chen Ping, you are a scholar after all, but you go so far as to curry favor with lowly merchants for money. Are you worthy of the teachings of a saint?"
Inside the counter, Chen Tianling's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
At this moment, Chen Tianrui suddenly walked in from outside.
