Spring and Autumn I Am King

"The disciple of Confucius? Is that the Confucius from Lu who made a name for himself in a private school in Qufu, recruited 300 disciples and spread his followers, and even slandered Yu Zhu's punishment tripod more than ten years ago, and falsely said that my state of Jin was about to perish?"

Later that day, it was still the side hall of the lower palace. Zhao Yang and Wu Xie were facing each other. One sitting behind the case and the other standing in front of the case, Zhao Yang had a sullen look on his face, while Zhao Wu Xie could only smile awkwardly.

Originally, according to Zigong's vision, it was not difficult to win the war of goods colonization caused by the involvement of Fan's family in the wheat flour market. But with the power of a township, it is naturally impossible to host Fan's entire craftsmanship. It is necessary to use the power behind Wu Xie to go to the palace!

Such an important matter, of course, must be approved and supported by the head of the family, Zhao Yang, so Zhao Wuxi took Zigong to the lower palace, entered the palace first, and briefly reported his suggestion to Zhao Yang.

He Wuxi's guess was right. Zhao Yang, who was protecting the short, heard that his son's extremely lucrative business had been interfered by Fan, and he was immediately angry. He had only four words for this situation.

"What's there to fear!?"

After setting the tone for this matter, Zhao Yang also became curious, who came up with such a strategy and vision? After a question, I found out that the mastermind Zigong was actually a disciple of Confucius.

"One township mad Shier!"

This is Zhao Yang's evaluation of Confucius.

Zhao Wuxi had no choice but to cough lightly. Fortunately, Zhao Yang has not yet been like in history, he must kill Confucius and then quickly, and Confucius has not turned black to the Zhao family.

However, according to the current situation, these two people will become enemies sooner or later, and it is better not to meet in this life.

With his dissatisfaction with Confucius, Zhao Yang also gave Zhao Wuxi a lesson and told him to take care of the Weishang named Duanmuci. Use it, but don't be influenced by it, contaminated with the pedantic theory of Confucianism.

Zhao Wuxi cried out in his heart. But only on promises. Finally, Zhao Yang proposed to meet Zigong. Test him in the school to see if he is like Confucius, a person who can only boast.

So, Wu Xie could only stand outside the hall, waiting for Zi Gong to come out.

"not good!"

After a while, he secretly murmured that something was wrong, causing the two guards in black guarding the sword stand in front of the door to look at each other. I don't know what the little gentleman is doing.

After more than half a year of getting along and observing, combined with the history he knows, it is clear that Zhao Yang has the characteristics of being aggressive, strong and tenacious. But sometimes it is domineering, impulsive and changeable, which is also a serious flaw in his character.

But Zhao Yang also has one of the most outstanding advantages, which enables him to make up for the above shortcomings to a large extent, and that is Shang Xian.

The old uncle Xiang, the uncle Zi of the State of Zheng, the wise Tai Shi Mo, and many others were born or lowly. or noble retainers. As long as he meets a worthy person with high morality or outstanding talent, Zhao Yang is always willing to sincerely ask for advice, and he is often able to accept advice humbly. No matter what the occasion, no matter what.

This point is extremely prominent among the six ministers of Jin at this time, and it can even be said to be unique. Such a mind may be the reason why he will recruit talents in the future and become a generation of heroes.

Wu Xie remembered Zhao Yang's character that love is like life. If he and Zigong met the right eye, it would be impossible to guarantee that he would pay a lot of money and recruit him as a retainer. What should we do? Until then. Neither congratulations nor refusal...

After waiting anxiously for a moment. Zi Gong finally came out.

Zhao Wuxi greeted him with a fake smile, and asked kindly, "Zigong. How was your talk with my father?"

Zigong saluted without a shirt. As an ordinary businessman, he was meeting with a country's officials, and he had a tiger-like personality like Zhao Yang, with the thought of making things difficult.

"I would also like to thank the gentleman for the "Book of Jue Qin" that he gave a few days ago. The eloquence he gave is much better. At least it didn't make the general feel that I was a rhetorical person, but..."

"Just how?" Wu Xie was a little anxious.

Zigong said, "It's just that the general of the army suddenly asked Ci, if he is too subservient as a merchant and would like to be a retainer of the Zhao clan, the army will entrust me with the position of an official or a warehouse official. Treat them with courtesy!"

Zhao Wuxi secretly thought that it was not good, Zhao Yang really did it, this cheap old man had to dig his son's corner. Although they are all working for the Zhao family, but after all, Wu Xie feels uncomfortable.

He pretended to be calm and asked, "Isn't this a good thing? How did Zigong plan?"

How to plan? Zigong showed a faint smile, making Wu Xie unable to figure it out.

It turned out that Fang Cai Zigong had just taken off his shoes and entered the palace gate with his full clothes on. Zhao Yang sat behind the desk and asked him, "How is Confucius as a man!?"

Zigong replied respectfully, "You can't know the gift."

Displeased, Zhao Yang stood up and asked Zigong, "Yu heard that you are a disciple of Confucius, you have been with Confucius for several years, and you often get along day and night, serving by your side. Now I ask him how he is, but you say 'you can't know'. , why? You are not telling the truth, you are lying to Yu, and there is no mercy for Yu Zi?"

Zigong smiled indifferently and said: "The general does not know anything, so I will give it to my master to learn. It is like a man who drinks in the river and sea, and stops when he is satisfied. My master's wisdom and benevolence are as broad as the river and sea. A layman who can’t see the seaside and drink inexhaustibly, even if he has served him for decades, can only see a glimpse of it, how can he dare to say that he knows it? That is to deceive the general.”

Zhao Yang was silent. Originally, he tried to give Zigong a slap in the face. He expected that a small businessman who had never seen a big scene would easily be scared out of his true shape. Unexpectedly, Zigong was not chaotic in the face of danger. After a long laugh, he showed his eloquence and rejected Zhao Yang's words one by one, forcing Zhao Yang to realize that he was wrong and had to sit tight and wait for him.

He nodded and said, "Good job, Zigong's words are over!"

Later, the two talked about the dispute with Fan's wheat flour, and Zigong already had a detailed account in his chest. He fiddled with the abacus of the new society, and gave Zhao Yang a calculation and deduction, explaining that this time as long as the Zhao family handled it properly, he could definitely sweep the Fan family's Jia out of the Su market.

Zhao Yang had already received a notification from his retainer Fu Sou~www.wuxiahere.com~ After more than half a month of study and imitation by dozens of craftsmen in Chengxiang, several animal power mills have been built in the lower palace. Start grinding wheat flour to supply the needs of the Zhao family's mansion.

Therefore, with just one talisman, he can make the lower palace treasury and the surrounding townships gather the wheat flour and start full-scale construction. It can produce more than 300 stone per day, far exceeding Fan's craftsmanship! At that time, in addition to the cattle and horse market, the Zhao family has another business that can save money and silk.

Zhao Yang was amazed at this, and his love for talent suddenly rose, and he proposed a plan to enlist Pizigong as a retainer of the Zhao family. As soon as he made his move, he was at the level of Jiqiao, Wang Sunqi, and he could let Zigong live in the room of the highest-ranking doorman.

These thoughts were only for a moment, Zigong bowed respectfully to Wu Xun, who was quite anxious in front of him, and informed him of his decision. (To be continued)
