The ancient study and imperial examination focused on reading comprehension. Whoever can read more meanings from a few words in the book will have more choices and opportunities.
Although there is a patch that hard work can make up for weakness, this career relies more on talent.
Master Tu’s questions are indeed tricky, but they are not without solutions.
However, what Chen Ping cares about is not whether Mr. Tu approves or not. After all, this is a very subjective matter. If Mr. Tu can’t say it shamelessly, there’s nothing he can do about it.
What he cares more about is whether Mu Cangba can understand, as long as he can understand everything is easy to say.
"The virtues of a gentleman are neither great nor great, and there is no distinction between good and evil deeds. Therefore, a gentleman should first be careful about virtue. How can he be called a gentleman if he pursues fame and fortune?"
"A saint is not virtuous in his actions, but everything he does is virtuous. What is virtue, if..."
After Chen Ping paused for a moment, he continued, completely forgetting what he just said about solving the problem. He didn't even notice that Master Tu was sweating like rain at this moment.
Master Tu felt that his young mind had been ravaged in an inhuman way. All the questions he asked were obviously sent to his grandma's house. Why could this kid answer them so easily?
And he answered so quickly and brilliantly?
As a young man who failed many exams and finally lost all his fortune in the capital, he feels very sad now.
The reason why Master Tu wanted to come to Mulu, a mountain in the southwest of Lingzhou, was firstly because of the yellow and white stuff in his mouth, and secondly because here he could find the self-esteem he had when he won the national examination.
After all, the entire Mulu Xuanwei Division is mostly composed of natives and few Han Chinese, and even fewer of them can read and write. Not to mention the candidates, there are only a few scholars.
In addition, Mulu Xuanwei envoy admired many things of the Han people, so Master Tu lived a relatively happy life. Now that this boy claiming to be Chen Ping, the Huiyuan of the current dynasty, appeared, Master Tu suddenly felt a sense of crisis. p>
"Hmm... Not bad, sir, what do you think of his breaking the topic and continuing the topic?"
Mu Cangba nodded as if he understood, and then asked Master Tu. Master Tu couldn't sit still anymore.
What level do you think I am? You want me to evaluate you? I asked the question so trickyly, but who knew this kid could still answer it, and it was oral, and it only took a few breaths!
Needless to say, I know that this guy is probably Chen Ping himself!
While feeling shocked and troubled, Master Tu also became confused. Why did Chen Ping come to Lingzhou when he was a member of the Huiyuan Association?
Ignoring the palace examination that could start at any time, I came to Lingzhou, which is thousands of miles away, and now I took the risk to come to see the envoy Mulu Xuan. Judging from the calm look on his face, he seemed to know everything about that organization...<
/p>
Master Tu lowered his eyelids. He seemed to have a premonition that there was some unexplainable relationship between Chen Ping and that organization.
Last year, major smuggling cases were exposed one after another in Jianzhou and Qingzhou. Originally, this had nothing to do with him. After all, in the land of Mulu, his life was relatively smooth.
However, as time went by, he became more and more dissatisfied with Mulu's life. He always felt that if he continued to take the examination, he might have won the tribute, and now he might be working as a county magistrate. p>
Because of this, when he learned that Pixiu wanted to meet with the Xuanwei Envoy to discuss cooperation, Master Tu gave full play to his subjective initiative, and even said a lot of good things for Pixiu to Mu Cangba.
It’s not for nothing.
"Alright, not bad."
The master stumbled back and said that all he could think about now was to inform those people quickly. If it was delayed again, he was afraid that Mu Cangba would turn to the government.
If that were the case, he wouldn't be able to get any money.
"Sir, what I think is the same. Although our Mulu City is remote, there are some literati who have come here, but Mr. Chen's level far exceeds them."
Mu Cangba was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. His words were full of praises for Chen Ping, and he even served fruit plates and snacks. He was full of interest and wanted to have a big talk with Chen Ping.
Chen Ping did not refuse. Native people have a straightforward personality. If he refuses this kind of sincere expression of goodwill, I am afraid it will defeat the other party's good intentions.
Seeing the two people talking happily, Master Tu couldn't get a word in, so he walked down the slope and said goodbye to Mu Cangba, and then left quietly.
After a few words, Chen Ping found that the ambassador seemed to be going off in a different direction, so he quickly brought the topic back.
"My lord, the imperial court only ceased war with the northern barbarians last year. Now that your majesty has been ill for many years after taking the throne, it is your time to lead the Mulu Mu family to a higher level in this troubled year."
"As long as you cut off contact with the gang of thieves who smuggled food, I can promise you that Mulu will prosper within five years! Food and money can only solve a temporary emergency, but the help of students is nothing."
Long-term sustainable.”
Pixiu spent a lot of money to make trouble in Lingzhou. Chen Ping doesn't have the ability to compete financially with Pixiu, but he has a lot of technologies and ideas on hand that are of great help to Mu Cangba.
And unlike Pixiu and his gang, who can't see the light in the dark, Chen Ping represents the imperial court at the moment. Although the war between Dayu and the Northern Hulu last year has just ended and the national power is very empty, it is not a behemoth that Mulu Chieftain can challenge.<
/p>
"Please elaborate."
Mu Cangba didn't talk nonsense, his eyes were shining with interest, and he asked Chen Ping to explain the details clearly to him.
Chen Ping was delighted, my uncle, I was just waiting for your words!
After Chen Ping drew a big cake for Mu Cangba without stopping, he could feel Mu Cangba's emotions at the moment without even looking.
It's an emotion mixed with excitement, ecstasy, and longing. It sounds very complicated, but it's actually just three words, it's the top!
Chen Ping pretended to be calm and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. At the same time, he looked at Mu Cangba's expression, and it was indeed what he thought.
At this moment, Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh. In his previous life, he had eaten so many big cakes drawn by his boss that he really didn't eat for free. Now it was his turn to draw cakes for others. This feeling was really refreshing.
But Mu Cangba was not a fool after all. He quickly put away his excitement and stared at Chen Ping with an extremely ambiguous and strange look.
Chen Ping was a little embarrassed. Why did he feel like he was being targeted by the bandit leader and wanted to be kidnapped back to be the wife of the village?
It wasn't until Chen Ping was sitting on pins and needles, almost unable to bear it anymore, that Mu Cangba put away his even greedy eyes, adjusted his sitting posture and suddenly asked.
"Aren't you going to ask about the deal between me and that group of people?"
Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, this was much more normal, and he replied without thinking: "I believe that adults will not do such stupid things that are unwelcome to both ends."
Mu Cangba smiled and said, "We natives value integrity the most. How can we go back on our promises now?"
Chen Ping frowned, thought for a while and then said: "I wonder if they are villains with no morals at all, and they have no integrity to talk to, right?"
"Sir, you must know that these people have evil intentions when making deals with you. It is not a wise move to seek skin from a tiger!"
Seeing Chen Ping's sincere reminder, Mu Cangba was startled at first and then slapped his thigh: "Hey! Thanks to Mr. Chen's reminder, I was almost seduced by the thief!"
"Don't worry, I will edit the book for Mr. Yang and Mr. Tang. I, the Mulu Mu family, have been guarding the southwest for generations and have been regarded as Zhengshuo by the imperial court. The enemies of the imperial court are the enemies of my Mu family!"
Chen Ping squinted his eyes and laughed, and after he handed over his hands in thanks, the room was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere, and he was enjoying himself.
Who said that the natives are simple and honest? Stand up and see if I don’t kill you! This Mulu Xuan comfort envoy is not bad at all!
