Four hundred and fifty-one chapters of peace and prosperity
He is not a member of our school, and his unfamiliar face easily attracts attention. After a while, someone came over to chat with him. ↑
At first, the local scholars just showed the reserve and politeness of scholars, and greeted each other by cupping their hands. When a fat scholar lazily asked, "Where is your hometown, sir?"
"Oh, the student is from Lingao County, Qiongzhou Prefecture." Huang Hankun answered cautiously. Although his voice was very low, it immediately aroused the interest of everyone in the room. Huang Hankun was immediately surrounded by people.
, two hands were held by three people respectively, and there were others holding hands with him, and faces with shining eyes were wandering in front of his eyes.
"Brother Huang, is this Australian ship really iron?"
"Hey, Brother Huang, it is said that Australians can drive away ghosts and gods? Make cars and ships move on their own?"
"Uncle Huang, how can we traffic Australian goods?"
"Mr. Huang, my family also sells foreign goods. Can you give the chiefs a word?"
…
Huang Hankun was flustered by the sudden enthusiasm. As soon as these scholars came up, he realized how deep the influence of Kun Ze was. He immediately understood that in front of them, not only could he not show how disgusted Kun Ze was,
You have to show that you are related to Australians everywhere.
As for who else among the scholars has the moral integrity of a scholar, let Mr. Huang slowly search for him. A smile appeared on his face and he bowed in return.
Although he is a scholar in a small county, he is also a powerful person in the county. He has seen all kinds of things in the world with his father since he was a child. He is not timid about the things happening in the scene. A burst of shouts of "brother" and "brother", and everyone around him immediately
Got into a fight.
There was a commotion everywhere. "Ah hum!" A cough suddenly came from behind the crowd of spectators.
"Noisy and noisy. What kind of behavior is this? It's an insult to elegance. It's an insult to elegance!" Hearing the voice, everyone dispersed in a way. Huang Hankun saw that he was a scholar in his thirties, dressed like an ordinary scholar.
There is no difference, except that his face is more graceful and there is a touch of arrogance between his eyebrows. At first glance, he is a child of a wealthy family.
"This is Mr. Liang Cunhou from the county school. After becoming an official, he opened several businesses and his family is the most prosperous." The fat-faced scholar whispered in Huang Hankun's ear. It seems that this is the scholar.
The leader of Zijian. Huang Xunkun thought to himself.
"Brother, are you from Lingao?"
"Exactly."
"Good, good, good." Mr. Liang said three good words in a row, "Seeing once is better than hearing it a hundred times!"
Huang Xunkun secretly wondered, he was not a well-known figure, so how could he start talking about this?
Mr. Liang said, "Brothers, please see, does Mr. Huang look like an Australian?"
Voices of agreement immediately rang out from the surroundings: "Brother Liang has a sharp eye", "Absolutely similar", "Except for not shaving his head"...
Huang Xunkun said in a panic: "I am not Kun...an Australian...an authentic Lingao aborigine."
Seeing his panic, Mr. Liang couldn't help but smile: "Don't panic, Mr. Huang. It's just that Mr. Huang's appearance and behavior are really the same as those of Zhen Kun!"
Huang Henkun couldn't understand why he suddenly became the same as "Zhen Kun".
"Although Xiongtai is not tall, he is strong and healthy," Mr. Liang said slowly. "Although his behavior, words and deeds indicate that he comes from a wealthy family of Jin gentry, his skin is dark and his hands are rough. Looking at Xiongtai's demeanor,
Neither humble nor arrogant, there is a sense of heroism between his eyebrows. There is also a vague sense of arrogance..."
"Brother Liang said it well..."
“It does feel that way!”
"Brother Huang must be profound in Kun studies..."
Huang Hankun didn't know what to say for a while, and he felt somewhat dumbfounded. How were he similar to Kun Thief? Could it be that after five years of being under their rule, his spirit and energy had changed?
Seeing what Mr. Liang meant, he "highly admired" the Kun thieves. Naturally, he couldn't dampen their interest. He had no choice but to be submissive and modest about himself, saying that he had "little knowledge" and only "a little knowledge of the Australians".
One or two".
"Even if you know a little bit, you are better than those of us who are just looking at flowers in the fog and Mr. Ye is so fond of dragons." Someone lamented.
"Yeah, when it comes to Australians, you know Ziminglou..."
"This is a glimpse of the leopard. Ziming Tower is just a sensual entertainment for the Australians. How much do they know about their skillful financial management skills?"
…
At this time, a young scholar suddenly squeezed over. He was dressed very gorgeously and said, "Sir, I have been living in a high position for a long time. Australians naturally behave like they read the palms of their hands. Now that the world is in turmoil, everyone wants to find a new way to govern the country."
I hope you will be able to teach me. You have worked so hard here, so please rest for a day. In this way, tomorrow at noon, we will have a banquet at Yuyuan Building, our restaurant, and I will wash the dust of Mr. Huang with all my brothers." After saying this, he bowed.
When everyone heard that there was a free banquet to enjoy, they all cheered.
The fat scholar then introduced that this was Master Lin Zunxiu. His family had opened several restaurants in Guangzhou and owned a wide range of real estate. He had a generous nature and had many contacts.
There was a lot of chatter and joking here, but outside there were people shouting things like "Kun thieves" and "Murder Ying Ye". They couldn't really hear it. The fat-faced scholar just inferred that they were scholars who were dissatisfied with the Australians.
, not worth a penny.
Huang Xunkun wanted to get acquainted with these "loyal and righteous people", but it seemed that there were mostly close relatives here, as well as Mr. Liang. He couldn't afford to offend him, so he had to calm down and see what happened.
Say it again.
The next day Huang Hankun arrived at the appointment on time. The banquet was held at a restaurant on the bank of the Pearl River: Zhanxiang Restaurant. Not only was the building majestic, but also a part of it protruded above the water, shaped like a waterside pavilion. In summer, when you drink wine in the wind, the river water flows from the floor to the water.
It flows down like a god...
You can see Haizhushi from this restaurant, so there are constant banquets every day. Huang Hankun also thought of coming here to look for opportunities. Although he was never turned away by the waiters, he wanted to get a private room close to those dignitaries.
Absolutely not.
I didn’t expect that things would go so smoothly after I went to the county to study!
The waiter led Huang Hankun to the hall, where a group of scholars were already waiting to greet him. To his slight disappointment, Mr. Liang was not among them. Then he thought about his identity, and he must be "coming soon".
"Young Master Huang is here, it's really a feast for the eyes. Come and come, please come in, please come in." Mr. Lin comes from a merchant family, so he is quite handy in matters of the scene. Huang Henkun returned the gift with his hand. There was a noisy exchange of courtesy, and everyone was happy.
Happy, they held hands and entered the door. There was a large glass wall in front of them, and looking at the windows, they were all fitted with glass. This was considered a big deal in Guangzhou, but it was really nothing shocking to Huang Hankun.
: Not to mention that the streets in Lingao are full of glass windows, it has been more than a year since all the windows in his house were replaced with glass.
The waiter led them into the Moon Cave Gate. There were small rooms on both sides of the corridor, each with a name: "Inviting Immortals", "Leyou"... and so on. Lin Zunxiu took Huang Henkun and led everyone to the outermost room.
Chrysanthemum Appreciation Hall. This is the most famous "water pavilion" of the restaurant. Now all the windows on three sides are open, and Xiangfei bamboo curtains are hung to block the sun. Only the river breeze blows, which is refreshing.
Two large tables have been set up in the hall, and a plate of cold vegetables and fruit has been prepared. Mr. Lin greeted everyone, and the scholars were probably used to eating Mr. Lin's rich family on weekdays, so they were not very polite and called each other to sit down.
Lin Zunxiu invited Huang Bingkun to sit as the guest of honor, and then introduced him to the scholars present. It turned out that most of these scholars were small wealthy households in Guangzhou, or they had their own business at home or their fathers and brothers were minors.
Small officials. For example, the fat scholar who was the most enthusiastic yesterday was named Shi. His family made and sold bamboo and rattan furniture. Everyone called him Chair Shi.
After presenting his head, Lin Zunxiu stood up, pointed at the stacks of rafts and oars on the water, and turned to ask Huang Henkun: "Master Huang, do you have enough scenery here?"
"It's a great port in the South and it's well-deserved." Huang Xunkun's answer was quite satisfactory.
"How does it compare to Lingao?"
This puts Huang Kunkun in a bit of a dilemma. In terms of city size and population, Lingao County, where Australians are entrenched, is far inferior to Guangzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. But when it comes to "civilization" - this word is often mentioned by Kun Thief.
On the other side - Guangzhou Prefecture is far behind.
"Each one has its own merits," Huang Xunkun said, "It's hard to distinguish between them."
Shi Xiucai laughed loudly: "Brother Huang's words are too slippery..."
Huang Xunkun was a little embarrassed: "I am telling the truth. The prosperity of Lingao is different from that of Guangzhou..."
"What's the difference?" Mr. Lin asked quickly.
What's the difference? Huang Hankun thought, the biggest difference is that in Lingao, the whole environment makes people feel comfortable, the ground is clean, the streets are neat, and the people seem neat and energetic - there are no beggars and dirty people everywhere.
"That's not necessarily the case." Huang Xunkun clarified his thoughts, "As for the prosperity of Lingao, it is far inferior to Guangzhou. However, the four words of living and working in peace and contentment are very worthy."
Everyone was a little disappointed, because in their opinion, the city of Guangzhou deserved to "live and work in peace and contentment."
"What about 'living and working in peace and contentment'?" Voices came from outside the door, and it was Young Master Liang who had arrived.
He was the backbone of this group of scholars, and he was treated with some courtesy. After he was seated, Liang Cunhou asked Lingao again what his method was for "living and working in peace and contentment."
Huang Xunkun clarified his thoughts and said: "As the saying goes, the elderly are supported, the young are educated, the poor are supported, the poor are supported, and the widowed, widowed, lonely, disabled, and sick are all supported."
These sentences are all from the "Book of Rites", and everyone here is not a bad reader. Although they were said by ancient saints, no one takes them seriously.
"Isn't this a saint ruling the world?" Someone asked doubtfully, "I guess there are still people who don't pick up things on the road and don't close their doors at night."
"That's not true. But it's not much different." Huang Xunkun said.
This aroused even more suspicious whispers. Mr. Liang did not take it seriously, and only asked: "Is this really true?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
