Although Wu Ang felt sorry for his eldest brother and third brother.
But he really hoped to see such a plot.
After all, between the three of them, that is true brotherhood.
"Sir, Master Liu is here." Qiu Xiang asked Ning Chen for instructions in a soft voice at the door of the tea room.
"Please come in, my senior brother." Ning Chen said to Qiuxiang outside the door.
"Yes, sir." Qiuxiang responded, and then went to invite Liu Zhongzhi.
"Senior brother? Does Master Kong have another disciple?" Wu Ang asked curiously.
Ning Chen explained: "This is Master Kong's registered disciple. He entered the school before me."
After Wu Ang heard this, he quickly thought of who this Master Liu was.
"It's Liu Zhongzhi. Why haven't I heard of it? Master Kong has other disciples."
"Do you know my senior brother?" Ning Chen looked at Wu Ang and asked.
Wu Ang said calmly: "I've heard of it, but I don't think I understand it.
I know he is a very upright person.
I also know that you took him to Lanxiang Pavilion,
Taught Xiaoju to play the guqin all night."
Speaking of this, Wu Ang couldn't help but laugh.
Of course, there is another meaning to this.
Now that Ning Chen knows that Lanxiang Pavilion is his property,
So Wu Ang can be more direct.
Tell Ning Chen everything Lanxiang Pavilion reported to him.
This can also bring him closer to Ning Chen to avoid any suspicion.
The two of them are partners now after all.
"You understand clearly.
Then do you think it is possible for my senior brother to find a wife?
This is my senior brother’s problem.”
Wu Ang patted his chest and said, "Brother Ning, leave this matter to me. After all, I own Lanxiang Pavilion and I know men relatively well."
Ning Chen looked at Wu Ang with a strange expression: "Do you think what you just said sounded like the bustard in Lanxiang Pavilion?"
Wu Ang:(⊙o⊙)
Liu Zhongzhi quickly entered the teahouse under the leadership of Qiuxiang.
When Liu Zhongzhi saw that Wu Ang was there, he first saluted Wu Ang and then saluted Ning Chen.
The whole process of saluting was meticulous.
"Senior brother, please sit down. The Seventh Prince is not an outsider. These are all brothers." Ning Chen said to Liu Zhongzhi warmly.
Liu Zhongzhi responded before sitting down respectfully.
He also sits with an upright posture and looks completely businesslike.
"Senior brother, let's put aside the business for now. The Seventh Prince said that he can help you solve your life-long matter.
Let's listen first and see if the Seventh Prince has any clever tricks."
Ning Chen interrupted Liu Zhongzhi who was about to speak.
Liu Zhongzhi responded, then stood up and said to the seventh prince, "Thank you, seventh prince."
The Seventh Prince waved his hands and said, "It's okay, Brother Ning and I are brothers.
His senior brother is my senior brother.
Senior brother is in trouble, and I should help him."
Liu Zhongzhi quickly expressed his position and said: "Seventh Prince, please don't misunderstand me. I am not Lord Ning's senior brother. I am just being polite to Lord Ning. I also dare not reach out to you, Seventh Prince."
Ning Chen looked at the seventh prince who was looking at him and shrugged helplessly.
The Seventh Prince knew that Liu Zhongzhi was a straightforward person, but this was his first real contact with him.
Faced with such an upright Liu Zhongzhi, Wu Ang thought for a while and said to Liu Zhongzhi: "Master Liu, I think that with your personality, it is best to be more direct with women. It would be best if you can do it in one step."
After Wu Ang finished speaking, he kept hinting at Liu Zhongzhi with his eyes.
Ning Chen felt that Wu Ang's method was quite good.
I took my senior brother to Lanxiang Pavilion before, but it was too circuitous.
Obviously my senior brother can be more direct and can get the job done in one step.
As long as one step is taken, then the daughter-in-law's matter will be solved, right?
Liu Zhongzhi also showed a thoughtful expression after hearing Wu Ang's words.
At this moment, Qiuxiang walked up to Liu Zhongzhi with a tea bowl in hand.
At this moment, Liu Zhongzhi also spoke: "I can be buried with her."
When Xiao Xiangxiang heard Liu Zhongzhi's words, her hands shook in fright and she dropped a cup of tea directly on the table.
The tea bowl exploded and the tea splashed all over Liu Zhongzhi.
Qiuxiang was stunned for a moment and quickly apologized to Liu Zhongzhi.
Ning Chen was laughing so hard at the side that he couldn't straighten his waist.
After all, he is his senior brother Liu.
That's how upright he is.
Never disappoints.
If you say you can do it in one step, I will do it in one step.
A joint burial is a one-step process, right?
Wu Ang looked at Liu Zhongzhi and felt shocked for the first time.
Isn’t it obvious enough that what you taught yourself?
"Master Ning, Seventh Prince, please forgive me for being rude. I have to go and take care of my clothes first."
Liu Zhong straightened up and said meticulously.
Ning Chen suppressed a smile and said to Qiuxiang: "Xiao Xiangxiang, take my senior brother down and take care of it. Go to my room to find a looser coat and give it to my senior brother."
Qiuxiang looked at Ning Chen with a fearful expression.
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Xiangxiang. The joint burial my senior brother mentioned has nothing to do with you. He was the seventh prince just now and his teaching failed, so just go and be fine."
After hearing this, Qiuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, agreed, and then went to find clothes for Liu Zhongzhi.
After Liu Zhongzhi left, Ning Chen looked at the frustrated seventh prince and said, "Brother Ang, can my senior brother be saved?"
The seventh prince shook his head with a bitter look on his face: "Your senior brother may be destined to become a lonely grave."
Ning Chen suppressed a smile and said: "No, no, no.
It makes my senior brother sad when you say that. You can help me think of something later.
After all, you are the one who runs Lanxiang Pavilion, and you understand men."
The seventh prince stood up directly and said: "I'd better take my leave. I'll give an order to Lanxiang Pavilion when I get back. Whoever can capture your senior brother will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."
Ning Chen curled his lips and said: "Brother Ang, if you want to save money, you shouldn't do this. You'd better stay and let my senior brother think of a solution. I think my senior brother can still save some money."
Wu Ang turned around and walked out.
Wu Ang felt that Liu Zhongzhi could send him away first if he stayed.
"Then I'll see you off not too far away." Ning Chen didn't even lift his buttocks and shouted from a distance.
After Wu Ang left the tea room, he left Ning Chen's mansion directly.
Returning to his carriage, Wu Ang couldn't help but complain: "Don't I just want to get some news about the Bai family? Why should they be buried together directly?"
Not long after Wu Ang left, Liu Zhongzhi also came back.
Liu Zhongzhi didn't wear Ning Chen's clothes, he just took off the tea leaves on his clothes.
"Xiao Xiangxiang, please tidy up this place and let someone prepare some food and wine later. After my senior brother and I finish talking about business, we will have dinner at home." Ning Chen said to Qiu Xiang.
Qiuxiang nodded, and then quickly tidied up the place where Wu Ang sat.
"Senior brother, you came to see me from Baijia College. Is there anything new?" Ning Chen asked Liu Zhongzhi.
Liu Zhongzhi nodded, and then said directly to Ning Chen: "Master Ning, someone from Baijia College came to recommend him and wanted to create a farm school. I came here specifically to ask if this is feasible."
When Liu Zhongzhi mentioned this, Ning Chen remembered that there were no farmers in the charter of hundreds of colleges that Liu Zhongzhi showed him at that time.
Although Ning Chen looked carefully at that time, he didn't actually think about it.
Now that Liu Zhongzhi suddenly brought up this matter, Ning Chen was also curious as to why Liu Zhongzhi didn't set up a farm at that time.
Normally, food is the most important thing for people.
If there are farmers, there should naturally be farmhouses.
Moreover, the world I live in is considered a feudal society. Although there are practitioners.
But practitioners will not interfere, Nong Sang.
It's not a matter of price reduction or not, it's because it doesn't need to be considered by them at all.
Therefore, among the classes in the Dawu Dynasty, they were still divided according to scholars, farmers, industry and merchants.
The ranking of farmers is still relatively high.
Liu Zhongzhi said: "Master Ning is right, food is the most important thing for the people.
Therefore, my consideration at that time was that agriculture should be equated with food.
If it is turned into a hundred families, it will inevitably contact the court.
In this case, scholars and peasants would be equal.
This is disrespectful to scholars and is equally unfavorable to farmers and people.
If the farmer is not in the field, but in the court.
Isn’t this world going to be in chaos, and is it going to starve to death for thousands of miles?”
It must be said that Liu Zhongzhi thought very comprehensively.
Liu Zhongzhi didn't say anything, but Ning Chen really didn't think about it that much.
If the farmers were really not in the fields, but in the court, then the world would really be in chaos.
So what Liu Zhongzhi was thinking about was not just class prejudice, but he really saw the importance of farmers.
"Since you, senior brother, thought this way before, then why are you still hesitant when someone comes to you to set up a farm?"
Liu Zhongzhi said: “I really didn’t want to set up a farm at that time.
But out of respect, I still talked to her.
After I heard his understanding of farmers, I felt that my previous understanding was actually somewhat biased."
Ning Chen said "Oh": "Senior brother, what did he say? He was able to convince you, senior brother."
Farmer or not, Ning Chen doesn't care now.
Mainly because it was the first time Ning Chen saw someone who could convince his senior brother.
Ning Chen felt that he should see such strange people and strange things.
Liu Zhongzhi ignored Ning Chen's complaints and continued: "She..."
Ning Chen interrupted Liu Zhongzhi and said, "Senior brother, please tell me first, is he a boy or a girl?"
Ning Chen doesn’t seem to have the strength of the male protagonist in online novels.
Just by listening to the pronunciation of the word "ta", you will know whether it is a boy or a girl.
Liu Zhongzhi replied: "She is a woman."
When Ning Chen heard this, he became more interested in hearing what Liu Zhongzhi said.
It would be difficult to convince Liu Zhongzhi, she is still a woman.
This is even harder.
"Senior brother, please tell me later."
"Xiao Xiangxiang, bring me some watermelon and melon seeds for you."
Soon Qiuxiang brought a plate of watermelon and melon seeds.
Ning Chen picked up a large piece of watermelon and gave it to Liu Zhongzhi, who said he would not eat it.
Ning Chen then said: "Senior brother, tell me how she persuaded you."
After saying that, Ning Chen took two bites of watermelon.
Liu Zhong continued to speak straightforwardly without changing his expression: "She said farming is farming, and confusing it with political affairs is a fool's errand.
She said that the farm she wanted to create was entirely based on land and cultivation.
She said that the land and the crops on the land are the foundation of a farm family.
And she also said that since food is the most important thing for the people, then the growers of food,
It should be regarded as a family under the law of heaven, so it is only complete if there is a farmer's family among hundreds of families."
"There won't be any more." Ning Chen was halfway through eating the melon and found that Liu Zhongzhi had stopped talking, so he couldn't help but stop and ask.
Liu Zhongzhi shook his head and replied: "No more."
"Senior brother, shouldn't you? Shouldn't you refute her?" Ning Chen asked.
Liu Zhongzhi said: "I thought about it and I think what she said is right.
Since food is the most important thing for the people, among hundreds of families, there should be farmers.
It's just that the previous charter has been submitted to you, sir.
So whether we want to set up a farmhouse, I think we should come here and ask for instructions."
Ning Chen looked like a gossip and asked Liu Zhongzhi: "Brother, let's digress. Tell me, how old is she? Is she beautiful?"
Liu Zhongzhi said: "She should be about forty years old, but because she has reached the sixth level of mountains and rivers, she looks relatively young."
After a pause, Liu Zhongzhi continued: "As for beauty and beauty, I don't know what your standard is, Mr. Ning?"
Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "How does it compare with Hong Xiao?"
Liu Zhongzhi said: "It's better to do that."
"How about compared with my four maids?" Ning Chen continued to ask.
Liu Zhongzhi hesitated and said, "There are still some shortcomings."
Ning Chen caught Liu Zhongzhi's hesitation and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, why are you hesitating?"
Liu Zhongzhi said truthfully: "She works in the fields all year round, so she doesn't have any pink and white.
I just simulated in my mind what would happen if she applied powder."
Ning Chen valued Liu Zhongzhi and felt that something was wrong with his senior brother.
It's okay, but I'm thinking about that girl, no, no, it's the aunt who is doing the eyebrow painting.
However, Ning Chen didn't intend to delve into this matter. As the saying goes, don't tell the truth when you see it.
What's more, my senior brother worked so hard for the affairs of Baijia School.
If you can really get a marriage, that's not bad.
"Senior brother, you said she is in the sixth-grade mountains and rivers realm? Have you investigated her background clearly?" Ning Chen did not continue the gossip, but got down to business.
Although my own Hundreds of Colleges have now been set up.
But the main leaders are himself and Liu Zhongzhi.
Needless to say, Liu Zhongzhi.
He is a junior employee of Tiantian Co., Ltd.
Even with the luck buff bonus given by him, Ning Chen estimates that it will take another fifteen years before Liu Zhongzhi can enter the sixth level.
As for Ning Chen, martial arts is now due to two gifts from Wenshan Shuhai.
The tempering of the eighth level has been greatly accelerated, and Ning Chen estimates that in a few days, he will be able to enter the seventh level of martial arts.
As for Confucianism and Taoism, it is not that far away from attaining the cultivation realm.
Ning Chen created a calligraphy system by himself.
Therefore, what Ning Chen needs to do is to type (copy) and polish (the characters) this calligraphy system until it is smooth and round, which means he has reached the pinnacle of the cultivation realm.
Ning Chen has probably typed (copied) and polished (written) a thousand or two thousand words now.
I'll work overtime later and copy 5,000 words.
I will copy another 5,000 words tomorrow and keep copying until the end of the month.
Even if you have reached a high level of literacy, you can then write (copy) a relatively cool poem or article.
Ning Chen has entered the Yangwen realm.
In this case, Ning Chen would be considered a double seventh grade.
But I am a double seventh-grade person, and compared with the sixth-grade person, I still seem to be a little behind.
So now that a sixth-grade person is here, Ning Chen must investigate clearly.
"I tried it with the true words Master Kong gave me, and everything she said was true.
If you are still not at ease, Mr. Ning, I will arrange for someone to go to the place she mentioned to investigate."
"True Words? When did Master Kong give it to him?" Ning Chen didn't know about this at all.
Liu Zhongzhi replied: "Last night, when Master Kong came to see me, he gave me a book of Haoran Zhengqi. There are some articles in it that I may use."
Ning Chen found that Kong Jijiu, the teacher, was still very qualified if he excluded the pretense.
For example, Kong Jijiu thought of these things about Baijia Academy that he had never thought of. And he thought about it very carefully.
"Since Master Kong's true words have been verified, there is no need to investigate."
After a pause, Ning Chen continued: "Since the farm she wants to create does not conflict with the farm you mentioned,
Among those hundreds of colleges, farm schools can be added.
She can study in the countryside and receive the same treatment as those in the Imperial Academy.
As for the specific details, senior brother, you can just take care of them."
Someone is willing to come to Baijia Academy. This is definitely a good thing for Ning Chen.
Although farmers have not yet stepped out of their own holy path.
But if she steps out, Ning Chen will still benefit from it.
After all, he is the founder of Baijia Concept.
Of course, if someone were to start a hundred businesses, they could indeed compete with Ning Chen for this path.
But if there really was such a person, Ning Chen wouldn't mind letting him die in a rhythmic manner.
Fighting for the road with someone wearing a toy is simply out of impatience.
After discussing the official business, Ning Chen left Liu Zhongzhi to have dinner at home.
When not talking about official business, Liu Zhongzhi finally regained some normalcy.
"Ning Chen, I told the Seventh Prince before that I could be buried with her. Is there anything wrong with this?
The Seventh Prince said that one step is enough to achieve the goal. Isn't this enough for me?
My willingness to be buried with her is equivalent to treating her as my legitimate wife.
Isn’t this direct and touching enough?”
Ning Chen didn't expect that his senior brother was still thinking about this matter.
So he smiled and said to Liu Zhongzhi: "Senior brother, what the Seventh Prince said is the same as what you understand. They are two completely different concepts. What the Seventh Prince is talking about is the matter of men and women, and what you are talking about is the matter of old age."
Liu Zhongzhi frowned and said, "There is something wrong with the question raised by the Seventh Prince."
Listening to Liu Zhongzhi's tongue twister, Ning Chen asked, "Senior brother, what do you think is wrong?"
Liu Zhongzhi said: "The relationship between men and women is not a one-step process, it is just a process. Death is the real end, and that is the real one-step process."
"puff!"
Although I have experienced Liu Zhongzhi’s uprightness countless times.
But Ning Chen still couldn't help laughing.
"Senior brother is very right. When I see the Seventh Prince tomorrow, I will tell him what senior brother said.
When the time comes, I will ask him to prepare a gift to thank you for correcting him, senior brother."
Liu Zhongzhi waved his hand and said: "This is just a simple reminder, not a correction."
"Senior brother, let's go one more time." Ning Chen said.
"What does walking alone mean?" Liu Zhongzhi asked in confusion.
"It means cheers." Ning Chen explained.
"Okay, then let's go one more time."
For some reason, Ning Chen suddenly felt like he was drinking with the dean when he heard Liu Zhongzhi say solemnly, "Go alone."
After having had enough wine and food, Ning Chen asked the driver to take Liu Zhongzhi back to the Imperial Academy.
Originally, Ning Chen planned to keep Liu Zhongzhi at home, but Liu Zhongzhi said that he still had to draw up regulations for the farmers to settle in, so Ning Chen could only ask the coachman to take him back.
After sending Liu Zhongzhi away, Ning Chen was also in the courtyard, swiping ink.
Start copying some words to improve your literacy skills.
Unconsciously, Ning Chen copied a full six thousand words.
Subsequently, Ning Chen's Haoran Zhengqi book contained six thousand more words.
At the same time, Ning Chen’s Haoran Zhengqi book seems to have ten more pages.
"Master Kong told me that the more pages there are in the Yangzijing Haoranzhengqi book, the more articles I can write in the Yangwenjing.
Master Kong said that the Haoran Zhengqi book in Yangzijing only has ninety-nine pages at most.
This was the result of the experiment of the idle man who had raised 100,000 words."
"If I have ninety-nine pages, I can copy them when I am ready to write articles. Phew, I will write ninety-nine articles.
I really need to think about it carefully. It would be better to write some poems and articles about saint-level achievements, defense and escape when I reach the Yangwen realm."
…
The court still had to go to court the next day, and Wu Ang and the others naturally had to go with them.
If Wu Ang and the others are not in Fengjing, it goes without saying.
But as long as they are in Fengjing, they must go to court with them.
Seeing Ning Chen coming, except for Wu Ang, the remaining vassal princes and princes all looked at Ning Chen with resentment.
Ning Chen's previous move was to push the grace order.
It's really too cruel and too exhausting.
Regardless of whether it is implemented or not, this is tantamount to driving a wedge between them and their heirs.
After all, this favor order has been distributed throughout the country in the form of imperial court reports.
Wu Zhao even specially used flying birds to deliver Di Bao to the four northern states overnight.
Now I'm afraid everyone in the four states knows it.
Their heirs, of course, needless to say.
In fact, even with this push order, they felt that they could suppress their own heirs.
But the more you suppress it, the more violent it will be when it rebounds.
They had to think about this again.
In short, the culprit of all this is Ning Chen.
If Ning Chen hadn't come up with such a bad idea, why would they be so passive.
Ning Chen could understand that those vassal princes and princes were unhappy with him.
But what is the situation of these civil and military officials?
Isn't this grace order of mine a subtle one?
Didn’t the issue of how the feudal prince and the prince support their troops and respect themselves were solved in one fell swoop?
Why do all the civil and military officials think that such a good proposal from a loyal minister seems to be keeping a distance from me?
When Wu Ang saw Ning Chen coming, he didn't say hello to Ning Chen at all and came directly to say hello to Ning Chen.
"Do all the civil and military officials have objections to my proposal? Do they still have objections to such a good suggestion? Are there too many treacherous people in the Wu Dynasty?" Ning Chen also asked Wu Ang about himself
