Zhang Ji looked at this lonely fisherman, who was wearing a raincoat and his face covered with a thick black cloth. He could only faintly see an ugly face full of scars through the gaps under the black cloth.
Zhang Ping, the son of Kaifangdi and the father of Zhang Liang.
If placed in the history books, it would be just an inconspicuous name. Although he was the prime minister of South Korea, he had no bright spots in terms of achievements.
The only bright spot is probably the plan to send Zheng Guo into Qin to build canals to weaken Qin.
If it weren't for his son Zhang Liang, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be named.
But who would have thought that the Korean Prime Minister who had served in the two dynasties of King Hanli and King Han Huanhui would actually fake his death and escape, swallow charcoal, change his name, and suddenly become the leader of spies in the night.
No wonder the open ground was used as a tool for King Han to balance the court, and he competed with Ji Wuye who had mastered the military power.
Although there are also evil intentions within Ye Mu, Bai Yifei is called the general of Ye Mu, but in fact he has been keeping Ji Wuye in check, but Bai Yifei, who is in charge of a hundred thousand troops, and Ji Wuye are still a little behind.
After all, the most elite force in South Korea is not Bai Yifei's frontier army, but the central army controlled by Ji Wuye.
Although the border troops have been at the border all year round, trained hard, often engaged in battles, and have rich experience, they ultimately lack resources.
It is said that poor literature and rich martial arts are poor. Although poor literature is obviously a fallacy. Don't look at the so-called ritual of cultivating Confucianism, which advocates education without distinction and enlightenment. You can become a disciple with just a small profit. In fact, if you have no money and no background , if you give me ten times the gift of repair, who will pay attention to you?
Do you really think that Confucian masters care about a few stinky dried meats?
Apprenticeship is a bond between master and disciple. If the teacher does something wrong, it will implicate the disciple. If the disciple does something wrong, it will also implicate the teacher. This is cause and effect.
When you accept a disciple, you must feel that you are a talent that can be made and will stand out in the future and shine on the disciples. Otherwise, who will accept you?
As for those who can be made, they must either be gifted with extraordinary talents or be born with a golden spoon in their mouth. Otherwise, are they worthy of being accepted as disciples?
This is why Zhang Ji insists on selling cheap books and paper at small profits but high profits.
If you are really gifted, as long as more and more paper books are circulated in the world because of Zhang Ji in the future, the price of books will drop again, and there will be more and more literate people and readers. Likewise, Teachers will also become cheaper, making the cost of learning lower and lower, thus forming a virtuous cycle.
As long as it has not reached the situation in later generations where even artistic expertise and sports expertise are higher than those in so many training courses, the era of poor literature can still be achieved for hundreds of years.
But Fuwu is definitely an eternal truth.
But what about practicing martial arts?
Practicing martial arts consumes too much physical energy, so at least people need to be fed, right?
Who can learn to use force if their stomach is not full and they will faint from hunger after practicing for a while?
Moreover, if you want to build a strong body, you must eat a lot of meat. How many people can eat meat during the Chinese New Year these days? Not to mention eating a lot of meat every day.
Even eating enough food and meat can only build a barely qualified physique for martial arts practitioners. If you want to ensure sufficient energy and blood and a strong body, you must naturally prepare all kinds of expensive herbal medicines, which can be taken internally or externally, medicated meals, and medicated baths. The more the merrier.
In addition, a good teacher is indispensable.
Practicing martial arts can train people, but it can also kill people. If the practice method is inappropriate, or the types, proportions, and frequency of herbs used are wrong, martial arts practitioners can be killed.
So the question returned to the apprenticeship.
In later generations, even in modern times, the tuition fee for Master Yip to learn Wing Chun from Chen Huashun was as high as twelve taels of gold (equivalent to the price level at that time, about 700,000 yuan today). Chen Huashun taught apprentices in Foshan, which was expensive and generally Scholars simply couldn't afford it, and capable scholars were mostly sons of noble families, hence the title of "Young Master Boxing".
Wang Xiangzhai, the founder of Dacheng Quan, received a gold bar for every stick he taught; Hong Junsheng taught Chen Tai Chi for eight yuan a month; Bruce Lee bought a house in Hong Kong for Ip Man to learn wooden sticks.
People who practice martial arts often have the so-called "three non-teachings".
One: Don’t teach those with bad conduct, that is, to prevent the disciples from starving to death, the master, and other behaviors that deceive the master and destroy the ancestors;
Second: Don’t teach those who are brave and ruthless, that is to prevent the disciples from causing trouble everywhere and the master from provoking enemies;
Third: Don’t teach those who are not talented enough.
This third one is a bit intriguing.
What is lack of talent?
In fact, it is an implicit statement. To put it bluntly, poor physical fitness and poor family means "lack of talent."
In short, the poor are not taught.
And Ji Wuye holds the Jade Tiger's money bag, and naturally provides the best food for South Korea's Central Army, especially the personal guards of the General's Mansion under his command, not to mention Ji Wuye and Bai Niao. There are four evils.
But even Ji Wuye, who had such power, failed to assassinate Kaidi.
There is no doubt that the Zhang family has dead soldiers.
As long as there are powerful people, there will be dead soldiers.
But no matter how Ji Wuye planned to ambush Kaifangdi, either Kaifangdi did not go to the place where he ambush, or the person who ambushed was ambushed instead.
In the end, Ji Wuye had no choice but to think that Kaifangdi would only have a few years to live at his age, so he simply stopped assassinating him.
There is a man in a coir raincoat spreading the news secretly at night. Will the assassination be successful?
But Ji Wuye didn't expect that there was a traitor under his command.
In other words, no one would have thought that someone like Lin Yi Ke could be a traitor.
Lin Yi Ke seems to be a hermit who keeps away from the world. He never participates in the internal battles of Ye Mu, and rarely participates in the battles between Ye Mu and other forces in the court. He is also like an honest and responsible librarian. What information does Ji Wuye want? , he gave Ji Wuye any information, and he never let Ji Wuye down.
And his request is just to build an intelligence network that is bigger than the net and spreads all over the world. He enjoys this feeling.
Most of the strange people under Ji Wuye's command have some strange hobbies, and some are even interested in mutilating corpses, so Ji Wuye is not unable to understand and accept it, at least this is a desire belonging to the coir raincoat guest.
If a person shows no desire, no love for money, no love for wealth, no love for power, and no love for beauty, then this person is either a saint who is rare in a thousand years, or a traitor who wants everything.
No one would place their hopes on the slim chance that this person is a saint. After all, saints do not often exist, but traitors do. People are more inclined to kill such people, just like Yue Wumu in later generations.
But to be honest, even if Ji Wuye really knew that Capricorn was Zhang Ping, he couldn't afford to lose Capricorn's intelligence network.
Therefore, from the beginning, the Zhang family never thought of betting on either side alone.
Zhang Kaidai went to the Fourth Young Master Han Yu, Zhang Ping went to Ye Mu, and could choose either Ji Wuye or Bai Yifei at any time, while Zhang Liang went to Han Fei. No matter who won in the end, the Zhang family would not If something happens, he will ride on the wind and expand the power controlled by the Zhang family again, completing the goal of the sixth generation of Han Dynasty.
The plan of three generations of the Zhang family to put their eggs in three baskets was indeed seamless. This was a conspiracy that no one would reject.
No matter who controls the court, they can't do without the Zhang family who have been together for five generations.
It's a pity that the Zhang family neglected to calculate the external force of the Qin State, and they never expected that anyone would deal with this night raincoater who had never had any conflict with the Qin State and had almost no sense of existence.
