Lin Feng left Yuanyang Tower and went straight back to his house, completely relaxing. But within less than half an hour of staying at home, someone came to visit him with a greeting card.
At first, Lin Feng received him personally.
After all, the people who come here have some connections in Daqin, and contacting them will help Lin Feng expand his connections. Immediately afterwards, a bunch of greeting cards came in, all of them coming to visit or inviting Lin Feng to come over for a banquet.
There were too many people, which was very troublesome, so Lin Feng sent away the first person, simply hid, and announced to the outside world that Xifengzui's sales point and that Xifengzui was all the responsibility of Chen Hetu.
Lin Feng used the excuse of being busy to temporarily avoid seeing outsiders, and pushed away all those who came to visit. But even though Lin Feng was hiding in his house, people still came to visit him, and Lin Feng couldn't hide.
Because Han Qianqiu is here.
This is Lin Feng's senior brother, and it is impossible for Lin Feng to miss him.
Lin Feng invited Han Qianqiu to the study, and the two of them took their seats. Han Qianqiu smiled and said, "Junior brother, you have settled in Xianyang now. Why didn't you inform me? Senior brother can make arrangements for you to take care of yourself."
Lin Feng explained: "I've been a little busy these days, so I didn't have time to inform my senior brother. Besides, I arrived in Xianyang, so I should visit Bailu Mountain. How can I let my senior brother take care of me?"
Han Qianqiu stroked his beard and changed the subject: "When I came down the mountain today, I heard that the Xia Kingdom sent another person named Zhu Youshan to come to Yuanyang Tower to challenge you again."
"It's good that you defeated him with dignity."
"The "Book of Commandments" you wrote is also very good. It can be said that everyone has written it. My idea is that you are too young now. It may not be easy to hold a high position in a country."
"So if you want to take revenge on the Xia Kingdom, you should first accumulate fame and knowledge, and simply go to teach at White Deer Academy. If you come to teach, I will listen to you in everything."
"This revenge cannot be accomplished overnight, nor can it be solved with just one sentence. It requires sufficient strength. I, the scholars of White Deer Academy, who have come down to serve as officials, are all important officials of the Qin Dynasty and are the mainstay."
"It can be foreseen that in ten or twenty years, many people in the court will be from White Deer Academy. So if you teach at White Deer Academy, you will have many talents all over the world in the future. If you become an official again, you will naturally have countless people following you if you want to take revenge. "
Han Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "After much thought, I came up with this method, which is the safest."
Lin Feng shook his head after hearing this.
Revenge according to Han Qianqiu's method would take too long, and I don't know how long the year of the monkey has passed. What's more, Lin Feng wouldn't put all his hopes on others.
Lin Feng said: "Senior brother, I am just a layman and don't like such a life of seclusion in the mountains and forests. So if you let me teach in Bailu Mountain, then it is unnecessary. Senior brother, it is most suitable for you to continue teaching at Bailu Academy."
"well……"
Han Qianqiu sighed.
He looked regretful and said: "It's a pity that your talent and learning are already extremely sophisticated. If you teach, it will definitely help the scholars of White Deer Academy. At the same time, you can also quickly accumulate fame. It's a pity that you are not willing to .”
Lin Feng said: "When I have time, I will try my best to go to White Deer Academy."
"Then it's settled."
Han Qianqiu also beamed with joy, and his old face was full of joy.
He was happy for the scholars of White Deer Academy.
Han Qianqiu changed the subject and said: "As for the Xia Kingdom, I have already sent a letter to my old friends, telling you about your grievances. I expect that soon, someone will explain the grievances of the Lin family and seek justice for the Lin family."
"But these are still far from enough. Junior brother, you want to be the enemy of Xia Kingdom, and you are not willing to accumulate fame in Bailu Mountain. According to me, you still need to borrow some help."
"For example, let's use the power of the Jin State and the power of the Qi State. If these people are willing to open their eyes for you and are willing to attack the Xia State together with Great Qin, the Lin family's problems will be easier."
Han Qianqiu had been thinking about Lin Feng since the beginning.
Because this is his junior brother.
Lin Feng was also grateful in his heart and said: "Senior brother's teachings, I will keep them in mind."
Han Qianqiu said: "After I met you before, I returned to Lumen Mountain and sent a letter to the teacher, telling the news about your stay in Daqin. After the teacher learned about it, he arranged for someone to send a special letter to you."
As he spoke, Han Qianqiu took out a letter and handed it to Lin Feng.
The seal of the letter has not yet been opened.
Lin Feng opened it directly and read the contents of the letter, but fell silent.
The content of Xunzi's letter is not much, and its general meaning is only two-fold.
First, when the Lin family suffered a disaster, Xunzi was also grieved, so Lin Feng should not mourn but should be strong and not give up on himself.
Second, the Lin family had a great feud and could not take revenge for the time being, so Xunzi asked Lin Feng to go to Qi State and study at Jixia Academy. Xunzi took care of him, and Xunzi even recommended Lin Feng to join the Qi State as an official. In Qi State, there are also many scholars who were taught by Xunzi. When Lin Feng attacks Xia State, these people will definitely help Lin Feng.
This is Xunzi's letter.
The image of Xunzi emerged in Lin Feng's mind. Xunzi loved his master very much.
After all, he is a closed disciple.
Now, Xunzi knew what happened to him and was willing to support him, and even more willing to help him get revenge.
This is his teacher.
Whether it was his teacher or his senior brother, they all helped him selflessly.
Lin Feng handed the letter to Han Qianqiu. After reading it, Han Qianqiu said seriously: "Teacher invites you to go to Qi. Junior brother, what do you think? Should you leave Daqin or stay in Daqin?"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "I will not leave Da Qin."
Han Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Han Qianqiu is from the Xia Kingdom, he has lived in Da Qin for so many years and has long regarded himself as a Qin national, and he hopes that the Qin Kingdom will become stronger and stronger.
Lin Feng is hope.
From the bottom of his heart, Han Qianqiu did not want Lin Feng to leave.
It would be best for Lin Feng to stay.
Han Qianqiu said again: "Junior brother, there is another matter. Regarding your Xifengzui, the sale of this drink is the focus of your current business. I can roughly guess what you are thinking."
"Although Da Qin has strong military strength, its finances are very weak and the treasury is not sufficient. Therefore, you want to make money through this and enrich Da Qin's treasury so that Da Qin can conquer without worries."
"Although I can't help you much here, I can still do my little bit."
"Among my disciples in Da Qin, there are three of them from the great Qin family. I will ask them to buy Xifeng Zui extensively to try to open up financial resources for you. In fact, you are a disciple of the teacher and a member of the Xun family, so you are not suitable for business."
"It's just that if you want to do business and make money, senior brother will give you your full support."
After Lin Feng heard this, he was filled with emotion.
Han Qianqiu treated him well.
For traditional scholars like Han Qianqiu, doing business was an insult to their status. Han Qianqiu didn't say anything. Not only did he fully support it, he also persuaded his disciples to buy it too. For Han Qianqiu, this was all he could do.
Lin Feng said: "Thank you, senior brother."
Han Qianqiu took out another letter from his sleeve and said, "Junior brother, please keep this letter."
Lin Feng said: "Brother, what is this?"
Han Qianqiu said seriously: "You are doing business in Da Qin, but Xifeng Zui's business must also involve Qi and Jin. Regarding Qi, senior brother can't help you with anything."
"But in the Jin Kingdom, senior brother, I still have some weak points. My disciple Gu Xi, your nephew, is an official in the Jin Kingdom and has some reputation and connections."
"If you want to open up the commercial channels of the Jin State, or if your business encounters difficulties in the Jin State, send this letter to Gu Xi of the Jin State and ask him to make arrangements on your behalf."
Han Qianqiu said firmly: "I believe he will not refuse."
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Senior brother, is Gu Xi a member of the Gu family of Jin?"
Lin Feng was in Xianyang and also understood the situation in various countries.
The Gu family is a big family in the Jin Kingdom.
Many members of the Gu family served in the Jin Dynasty's court.
Han Qianqiu nodded and said: "Gu Xi does serve in the Jin Dynasty court and serves as the Shangshu of the Jin Dynasty. He is over forty years old and serves as a Shangshu of the Jin Dynasty. He is quite capable. There is no need to worry about asking Gu Xi for help. , just come to him if you need anything. He is very reliable."
After Lin Feng heard this, he understood.
This is the key.
The reason why Han Qianqiu came to Xianyang in person, apart from Xunzi's letters, was to sell his West Wind Drunk. Han Qianqiu, in particular, was able to see through the subtleties and knew his intentions in running Xifeng Zui, which showed that Han Qianqiu's insight was extraordinary.
It's just that Han Qianqiu is not an official.
Lin Feng clasped his hands together and cupped them again: "Thank you, senior brother."
Han Qianqiu waved his hand, with a smile on his face, and said: "I can't help you with anything, I can only do my best. In short, if I can help you a little bit, that's good."
Lin Feng said: "Senior brother has helped me a lot, and I am very grateful."
Han Qianqiu and Lin Feng had not met each other in the past, and they only met in Qin State.
However, Han Qianqiu supported him at all costs.
This is camaraderie.
Han Qianqiu stood up and said: "I still have to go back to Bailu Mountain, so I won't delay. You have many things to do, so be more cautious and don't be impatient. Especially the situation in the Qin Dynasty is quite strange, so you must be cautious and cautious. Don’t be careless.”
Lin Feng asked to stay, but Han Qianqiu insisted on leaving. Lin Feng had no choice but to send Han Qianqiu away in person before returning to the study and putting the letters away. After all, having Gu Xi in the Southern Jin Dynasty was very helpful to Lin Feng in doing business.
Lin Feng was free again.
One day passed.
The next morning, some people still came to visit. Lin Feng read the greetings but ignored them.
There is no need to care about unimportant people.
At about midnight in the morning, Gao Xiaoyu hurried in, came to Lin Feng's side, and reported: "Master, there is a man outside who claims to be from the Qi State. His name is Tian Yu, and he is here to visit on behalf of the Qi State."
"please!"
Lin Feng gave an order.
Lin Feng also went to the front hall to wait in person. After a while, Tian Yu entered.
When Tian Yu saw Lin Feng, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm in Qi State, and Tian Yu has met Mr. Lin."
Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Mr. Tian, please sit down."
Tian Yu lifted up his robe and sat down. He smiled and said: "Master Lin fought against the Qin scholars in Yuanyang Tower. He first defeated Yan Changge and then Zhu Youshan. He is famous all over the world. This time he fought with Zhu Youshan. "
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Mr. Tian is trying to offend me. It's just a trivial matter, it can't be called a momentous moment. It's just a fly buzzing and being slapped to death."
Tian Yu said: "Master Lin said it well."
He changed the topic and said: "I have two things to do today. First, our Qi State is willing to purchase Xifeng Zui on a large scale and hopes to negotiate with Mr. Lin."
Lin Feng said: "Mr. Tian went to the workshop to find Chen Hetu about the drinks. He is fully responsible."
Tian Yu nodded, his expression unchanged, and continued: "The second thing is that on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of Qi, I invite Mr. Lin to go to Qi and serve as an official in Qi."
Lin Feng said: "I'm doing pretty well in Da Qin."
Tian Yu confidently said: "Master Lin, don't be too busy to refuse. Please listen to what I have to say and think about it again. On the one hand, Xunzi is an old man who presides over Jixia Academy in Qi State. Xunzi is old and needs someone to take care of him."
"Master Lin is a disciple of Xunzi, and he is a closed disciple. It is expected that he is also worried about the health of Xunzi. Moreover, when Master Lin arrived in Qi State, Qi State promised that once Xunzi is a hundred years old, Master Lin will be the new helmsman of Jixia Academy. "
"On the other hand, Mr. Lin has gone to the State of Qi. The State of Qi will avenge Mr. Lin and seize the opportunity to attack the State of Xia. Mr. Lin can also enter the court and serve as an official. With Mr. Lin's ability, he can become a general or prime minister. Of course it’s no problem.”
"The literary style of Qi is brilliant and profound."
"Although Great Qin is good, it is too remote, and its background is too poor. They are all barbarian warriors."
"As long as Mr. Lin is in Qi State, he not only has the opportunity to take revenge, but also has the opportunity to become famous all over the world. Jixia Academy is known to the world. If Mr. Lin is at the helm of Jixia Academy, he will be able to make a lot of people all over the world."
Tian Yu talked eloquently and looked quite proud. After all, Qi Guo's brilliant literary style was well known all over the world.
This is the foundation of Qi State.
Tian Yu looked forward to it and said: "In short, our Qi State will not treat Young Master Lin harshly and will ensure that Young Master Lin will receive many favorable treatment. I wonder what Young Master Lin wants?"
Lin Feng chuckled twice and said: "Mr. Tian, the Qin Dynasty has wise kings and wise ministers. I think the Qin Dynasty is good. I accept Mr. Tian's kindness."
brush!
Tian Yu's complexion changed slightly.
Lin Feng refused.
In Tian Yu's speculation, he told Qi Guo's conditions, and Lin Feng would definitely agree without hesitation. After all, the conditions were very good. However, Lin Feng refused directly.
Such a result was unexpected by Tian Yu.
Tian Yu took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said again: "Master Lin, when you first arrived in Da Qin, you didn't know that the situation in Da Qin was treacherous and turbulent. The current Da Qin court is actually very chaotic. You have no revenge in Da Qin. opportunity. Going to Qi State is the best choice."
Lin Feng said: "I appreciate Mr. Tian's kindness."
Tian Yu frowned.
Lin Feng did not let go at all, and had no plans to go to Qi State at all.
Tian Yu's face was slightly cold, but he still managed to be patient and asked: "Master Lin, I would like to ask, why don't you go to Qi State?"
Lin Feng said: "Great Qin, treat me well."
Tian Yu was speechless.
It is a good thing for people to be grateful, and Tian Yu also thinks this quality is good. But now, when Lin Feng was grateful to the Qin Dynasty and unwilling to go to Qi, Tian Yu felt helpless.
I can’t persuade you!
Tian Yu said again: "Master Lin, are you really not considering going to Qi?"
Lin Feng said: "I won't consider it anymore."
Tian Yu's tone suddenly became stronger and he said: "Master Lin will regret it sooner or later if he doesn't go to Qi State."
Lin Feng said: "I never regret."
"Mr. Lin, we will wait and see. Say goodbye."
Tian Yu felt a little angry and stopped staying. He stood up and left. He secretly scolded Lin Feng for being ignorant of current affairs and a mere barbarian to the Qin Dynasty. Lin Feng actually insisted on staying, and he would definitely regret it.
Lin Feng looked at Tian Yu's leaving figure and smiled coldly.
regret?
nonexistent.
The scholars of Qi State were boastful and impetuous. Lin Feng did not think that Qi State could take revenge on Xia State.
If Qi State can resist Xia State's attack, it will be good.
Therefore, Lin Feng will not go to Qi.
Lin Fengku sat for a while, and when he was about to get up and go to the backyard, another attendant came in and reported: "Young Master, Xie Xuan, the envoy of the State of Jin, is here to visit."
"please!"
Lin Feng gave an order.
This time, directly saying that he was an envoy from the State of Jin made his identity clear.
Not long after, Xie Xuan entered.
Xie Xuan originally came from a wealthy family, but his expression was gentle, giving people the feeling of spring breeze.
He stood still in the hall, bowed his hands in a bow, and after sitting down, he said straight to the point: "Master Lin, I am here to invite you to serve as an official in Jin State on behalf of my Majesty, the Emperor of Jin State."
Lin Feng said: "Da Qin treats me well and I have no plans to leave."
Xie Xuan's expression was as usual, and he said calmly: "I also know some news about the treatment of Mr. Lin in Da Qin, which is indeed good. However, what the Jin State can give to Mr. Lin is even better."
"Master Lin, please listen to my conditions."
"First, the Jin State has found for you some people who were exiled from the Lin family in the past. Now these people have settled down in the Jin State and have begun to live in the Jin State. We, the Jin State, will return these people to Mr. Lin."
"Second, Jin directly asked Mr. Lin to lead troops and station them at the border between Jin and Xia. If you want to take revenge on Xia, go ahead and fight. Jin will support you from the rear."
"Thirdly, everyone in the Jin State has great admiration for your father and the Lin family. When your father died on the battlefield, His Majesty the Emperor of Jin felt very sorry after hearing this. He once found the clothes that your father had worn and set up a tomb to commemorate them."
"Everyone in the Jin Kingdom respects the Lin family very much. When Mr. Lin comes to the Jin Kingdom, he will definitely have room to display his talents. The most important thing is that he can personally lead the troops to take revenge."
Xie Xuan said: "This is what our Jin country can give to Mr. Lin."
Lin Feng said: "His Majesty, the Emperor of Jin, has set up a tomb to honor my father. I am very grateful. However, I am good at Da Qin and I also have my own thoughts of revenge. For the time being, I have no plans to go south to Jin."
Xie Xuan's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "Does Mr. Lin think that everyone in the Jin Kingdom is obsessed with wealth and prosperity and has no ambition, so he is unwilling to go to the Jin Kingdom?"
Lin Feng smiled and didn't say much, but he thanked Xuan unexpectedly.
This man has very vicious eyes.
We can see Jin’s problems at a glance.
The Jin State has no shortage of food or soldiers. What it lacks is the bloodiness of the soldiers and the pioneering and enterprising spirit of the civilian and military officers. The Jin Kingdom was extremely prosperous because it was located in the fertile land south of the Yangtze River.
The prosperous scene has wiped out the heroism and made everyone lose their fighting spirit.
This is a big problem for Jin State.
Xie Xuan understood even more when he saw Lin Feng's expression.
Sure enough!
The heroes see the same thing!
Xie Xuan did not expect that Lin Feng, at such a young age, could see the loopholes of Jin State at a glance.
For a moment, Xie Xuan even wanted to persuade Lin Feng to go to Jin. Because a person who knows something about Jin can change Jin and make everything in Jin become better and better.
Even, break the shackles of today.
Xie Xuan said seriously: "Mr. Lin, it's normal for Jin to have problems like this. Which country doesn't have this? But Jin also has great potential."
"The Kingdom of Jin lacks talents like Young Master Lin, so I hope that Young Master Lin can go and change the Kingdom of Jin. Of course, Young Master Lin will not go to the Kingdom of Jin for the time being, and I will not force him."
"It's just that Mr. Lin has never been to the Kingdom of Jin and has not seen everything in the Kingdom of Jin. How can he make an accurate judgment? Therefore, I sincerely invite Mr. Lin to go to the Kingdom of Jin and have a look."
"In this way, we can understand the real Jin State. In addition, Mr. Lin intends to leverage the power of Great Qin. From my point of view, Great Qin is indeed good, but the biggest problem in Great Qin is the issue of successors."
"The emperor defeated Jiuxiao Yingming and Shenwu, but the prince fought with King Yong, and even the prince was an incompetent and tyrannical person. Therefore, the stability of Great Qin will not last long."
Xie Xuan talked eloquently and said: "These are unstable factors, please Mr. Lin think twice."
Lin Feng felt even more emotional when he heard Xie Xuan's words.
Xie Xuan has such a clear insight.
Xie Xuan's judgments were all extremely accurate.
Looking back, when it comes to the people of the Lin family, the resettlement of the Jin State was even more benevolent to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stood up, bowed his hands and bowed in thanks, then sat down and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xie, for your invitation. I'll note it down. When I have some free time, I will go to Jinling in Jin Dynasty. Please take care of the Lin family, Mr. Xie."
Xie Xuan smiled and said: "It's my job."
For Xie Xuan, he has enough patience.
On the one hand, the Qin State itself has problems, and it takes time for Lin Feng to see the outbreak of conflicts in the Qin State. On the other hand, there are people from the Lin family in the Jin State, so Xie Xuan believes that Lin Feng will go to the Jin State, and he will naturally see the good things about the Jin State.
Especially Xie Xuan will continue to visit in the future, which will make Lin Feng tempted.
Xie Xuan has plenty of patience.
Xie Xuan didn't say anything more, he stood up and said: "Mr. Lin, I live in the Jinling Guild Hall. If something happens to Mr. Lin, please arrange for someone to come and notify him directly. I, the Kingdom of Jin, will sweep the bed for Mr. Lin."
Lin Feng said: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. I am very grateful."
Lin Feng personally saw off Xie Xuan before getting up and returning to the hall to sit down. Jin's attitude was indeed good.
However, Jin also has many problems.
This is what Lin Feng doesn't want.
Lin Feng's thoughts were a little wild for a while. When it was almost noon, Chen Hetu came in a hurry.
Chen Hetu's face was filled with excitement. Even that cheek was a little red.
This is the exciting result.
When Chen Hetu saw Lin Feng, he quickly said: "Mr. Lin, our Xifengzui has had a great harvest from yesterday to this morning. Too much, too much money! Guess, now the harvest How much is the total deposit you received?"
Lin Feng laughed after hearing this, especially the Chen Hetu in front of him, whose body trembled slightly.
The excitement was almost too much.
Lin Feng was also looking forward to it and asked: "How many orders have you received in total from yesterday to today?"
