Yong Chi suddenly came back to his senses and said with great worry: "Exiled Immortal, the people from Xianyang Daily are clearly deliberately trying to trick me. So in the previous interviews, will they confuse right and wrong?"
Li Shui nodded and said seriously: "I think so."
Yong Chi said very worriedly: "What should we do?"
Li Shui chuckled: "It doesn't matter, I have a clever plan. You go down and rest for a while, eat and sleep."
Yong Chi hesitated and said, "Aren't we going to stop them?"
Li Shui smiled slightly: "No, there's no need. The bitch will find her own destiny."
Yong Chi's lips moved, but in the end he said nothing and retreated obediently.
That night, Yong Chi didn't sleep at all. He tossed and turned, full of worry.
The next day, he came to the street early and bought a copy of Xianyang Daily. After reading it, Yong Chi tore up the newspaper.
Confusing right and wrong, really confusing right and wrong.
And this newspaper obviously had a great influence on the hearts of the people.
Some people believed what Xianyang Daily said and had doubts about Li Shui's character. After all, there are photos of Yong Chi in the newspaper, which shows that the contents are not fabricated. I actually interviewed him.
There are still some people who firmly trust Li Shui and think that the banished immortal is a man from heaven. How can he be greedy for petty profits?
At first, the two parties were just arguing, but over time, it turned into a quarrel.
After the quarrel ended, it turned into a fight. For a time, there were countless private fights inside and outside Xianyang City because of different opinions, and the government arrested many people.
Wu Jing sat at home, listening to the butler's report, feeling happy.
Chaos, chaos, the more chaos the better.
No matter who is right or who is wrong in this matter, once chaos breaks out, Huaiguzi will definitely suffer.
More and more people have come to visit the mansion in recent days, and Wu Jing vaguely feels that he is about to secure his position as the leader of the Confucian Academy.
Once this position was secured, he would instruct some of his cronies to politely ask Chun Yuyue to give up his position as an important minister in the court.
After becoming an important minister, Wu Jing will flex his muscles and leave a mark in the history books.
A hundred years later, when Wu Jinglai is mentioned, he will always be mentioned alongside Confucius and Mencius. How happy that is.
No, Confucius and Mencius just traveled around the world and spread some doctrines. And he, Wu Jing, really used the doctrine to govern the country and carried it forward.
Then wouldn’t Wu Jing’s achievements surpass those of Confucius and Mencius?
Wu Jing couldn't help but grin and let out a hearty laugh.
Things got louder and louder, and the courtiers became a little panicked.
After all...the essence of this matter is whether insurance will pay.
As for the courtiers, they had bought mutual aid funds from Shangjun Courtyard.
Although the banished immortal claimed that mutual aid funds were not insurance, the courtiers were not fools. They quickly realized that this was insurance in disguise.
If I am accidentally convicted in the future, can my family get compensation from the banished immortal?
The family members of the guilty minister have no power and power, how can they fight against the banished immortal? At that time, if the banished immortal really refuses to give it, what should we do?
The more the courtiers thought about it, the less practical they became, so they visited the banished immortal one after another.
When these courtiers went to Shangjun's Courtyard, they were 30% uneasy and 70% suspicious. When they arrived at the gate of Shangjun's Courtyard, Niu Cal still insisted on charging.
The courtiers were all furious, but they had no choice but to pay the money obediently.
After entering the Shangjun Courtyard, Li Shui used his own character to assure the courtiers that he would definitely fulfill his insurance promise.
However, the courtiers obviously did not trust Li Shui's character and demanded refunds one after another.
Li Shui also said that he could give the courtiers a discount.
These mutual aid funds are stored in Shangjun Courtyard and can be set for a period of twenty years, fifty years, or one hundred years.
If twenty years are up and you are not convicted, you can return the principal with interest and give you 30% more.
If fifty years is up, you can get 50% more back.
If one hundred years are up, 80% more can be returned.
The courtiers were immediately tempted.
This is equivalent to twenty years later, one hundred yi of gold becomes one hundred and thirty yi?
This gold should be kept at home, but if it is placed here with the Exiled Immortal, it will be 30% more for no reason. Isn't this great? Even the income from doing business is nothing more than this, right?
So these courtiers began to hesitate.
Li Shui then said: "Everyone, this mutual aid fund is not only in the name of Shangjun Courtyard, but its major shareholder is Mr. Fu Yao. And I don't need to say more about Mr. Fu Yao's identity, right? You guys Do you think the young master will lie to you?"
The courtiers shook their heads.
Finally, they decided to believe in Fu Yao's character and went home together.
Although I lost 100,000 yuan in tickets this time, the mutual aid fund had a satisfactory result after all, and it was still worth it.
After the courtiers left, Xianglizhu came to Li Shui and asked, "Are you really planning to give them money?"
Li Shui looked at her: "What's this? Do you think I will default on my debt?"
Xianglizhu said: "You won't default on your debts, but I always feel that you won't do loss-making business. These courtiers don't do anything. As long as they keep their money with you for twenty years, you have to give them 30% more? You are you crazy?"
Li Shui looked at Xiangli Zhu and said quietly: "Do you know... what inflation is?"
Xianglizhu shook his head blankly.
Li Shui said: "For example, there are ten pieces of gold and ten cows. Then we stipulate that one piece of gold is equal to one cow. Then we can buy and sell it. Is there no problem?"
Xianglizhu said: "No problem."
Li Shui said: "Okay, so now a hailstorm has fallen and killed five cows. Only five are left. How much should a cow be sold for now?"
Xianglizhu said: "Two pieces of gold. Are you testing my arithmetic?"
Li Shui said seriously: "This is economics."
He went on to say: "If a gold mine is discovered now, and after the mining is completed, there are one hundred pieces of gold. How much gold will each cow cost if we buy these five cows?"
Xianglizhu said: "Twenty yuan?"
Li Shui nodded: "From the perspective of cattle, the price of cattle is constantly rising. But from the perspective of gold, gold is constantly depreciating. Originally, one piece of gold could buy a cow, but now it only takes 20 yuan to buy a cow. .”
Xianglizhu said: "Yes, is there any problem with this?"
Li Shui pointed to the west and said: "Now we are constantly discovering mountains of gold. Gold and silver mines are constantly entering Xianyang City. What do you think will happen next?"
Xianglizhu's eyes widened: "Will gold depreciate?"
Li Shui smiled: "Yes, if you keep one hundred yi of gold for twenty years, the price may have to be discounted, right? I gave them thirty more yi, but the actual purchasing power is equivalent to giving them only sixty-five Yi. I also made thirty yi."
Xianglizhu was stunned for a while: "But...but you still lost money. Their gold has depreciated in value, won't yours depreciate in value?"
Li Shui said: "Wouldn't I exchange gold for cattle?"
"The cow is just a metaphor. Land, railways, mines, papermaking, medicine... these are all cows."
Xianglizhu was lost in thought, and after a while she raised her head: "You are so bad. And... so bad in a very special way."
Li Shui smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment."
At this time, a craftsman came in and said to Li Shui: "Sir, we have found out that Wu Jing planned this operation of Xianyang Daily."
Li Shui hummed and said to the craftsman: "This Wu Jing, did you buy mutual aid money last time?"
The craftsman said: "No."
Li Shui said, "Send a few people to post a notice on the bulletin board outside the Banished Immortal Building. Just say that this Immortal has stipulated that Wu Jing is not allowed to buy mutual aid funds."
The craftsman was stunned and said hesitantly: "Wu Jing... doesn't seem to be planning to buy it."
Li Shui chuckled: "Whether Wu Jing buys it or not, that's his business. Whether I sell it or not, that's my business. Our mutual aid fund will have to increase the standard in the future."
"Not everyone can buy it. They must go through strict assessment and careful review before they can buy it. In this way, they will trust us more."
"We cannot be fooled by those who are seeking death, repeatedly defying the court's laws, and trying to obtain compensation by defrauding them, and we cannot sell mutual aid funds to them."
The craftsman was a little confused and thought: Is there really such a person? Intentionally committing a crime for a little mutual aid? Isn't this a disease?
However, he just obeyed the banished immortal's instructions.
Soon, a notice was posted outside the Banished Immortal Tower.
The words were very fierce, saying that Wu Jing would be deprived of the qualification to purchase mutual aid funds.
After seeing this, the people of Xianyang expressed sympathy for Wu Jing one after another. They felt that Wu Jing was so pitiful that he was rejected by the immortal.
And Wu Jing was so angry that he asked: When will I buy mutual aid funds? And deprive me of my qualifications, as if I begged you to sell it to me.
…………
Fu Yao came to Shang Jun's courtyard and said to Li Shui: "Master, there is a commotion outside, should we take action?"
Li Shui said: "Don't worry, my witnesses haven't arrived yet. Once they arrive, we can just take action together."
Fu Yao said with a bitter face: "Master, you can sit still, but I will be miserable."
Li Shui asked in confusion: "What?"
Fu Yao said: "In the past few days, there are always people coming to see me."
Li Shui asked curiously: "You are the Master of Da Qin, are you still afraid of being found? Who is this person?"
Before Fu Yao could speak, a young eunuch hurried in from outside and said to Fu Yao: "Master, there is a palace maid named Zhu Cui waiting for you."
Fu Yao responded with a grimace and walked outside dejectedly.
Li Shui looked at Fu Yao meaningfully, and then said with emotion: "I didn't notice, Master, you are not young anymore."
Fu Yao: "..."
He sighed: "Master, don't think too much. This Zhucui is the person next to my sister."
Li Shui was stunned: "Weiyang? I'll go see you too."
The young eunuch coughed dryly and said respectfully: "The banished immortal stayed here. Zhu Cui said that he only saw Mr. Fu Yao on the order of the princess."
Li Shui scratched his head: "What kind of trick is this?"
He smiled at Fu Yao: "Then you go ahead."
Fu Yao responded and followed the young eunuch away.
…………
In a carriage, Fu Yao saw Zhu Cui.
Zhucui first bowed to Fu Yao, then cleared her throat: "Sir, this slave represents Princess Weiyang. The following words were all conveyed by Princess Weiyang to my slave."
Fu Yao hummed.
Zhucui took out a newspaper and said, "The princess asked the slave to ask the young master why he didn't say a word when he was insulted after being banished to an immortal?"
Fu Yao looked at it and saw that it was a Xianyang Daily News.
Fu Yao sighed: "It's not that I don't want to argue, it's that Master won't let me. Master seems to have his own plan."
Zhucui took out another newspaper and said, "It's fine if you don't help the banished immortal. Why do you still collude with outsiders to slander the banished immortal?"
Fu Yao looked at it and saw that it was a Daqin Daily Newspaper.
He said with a grimace: "Am I slandering Master? I am obviously telling the facts fairly and objectively. And this was in the newspaper a few days ago? Why do I always rehash old scores?"
Zhu Cui coughed dryly: "Princess said, Ban Xian is a generous person, slow in speech but quick in action. He doesn't like to argue with others. As a disciple, you should share the worries of the master."
Fu Yao was stunned: Are you generous? Too slow to speak? Don't like arguing with others? is that so?
Fu Yao looked at Zhu Cui: "Isn't my sister about to get married? Shouldn't she be very busy at this time? How come she still has time to read the newspaper?"
Zhucui sighed: "This newspaper is run by the Young Master after all. The princess cares a lot about the Young Master."
Fu Yao said oh.
Zhucui said: "Princess, I hope to see your actions within a day or two, so that no one will slander the immortal. Otherwise..."
Zhucui smiled mysteriously.
Fu Yao suddenly felt a little pain in his ears and rubbed them involuntarily.
He agreed with a grimace.
Zhucui left, and Fu Yao sat at the door of Shang Jun's courtyard, frowning.
Li Shui came out of Shangjun's courtyard and asked Fu Yao curiously: "What's going on?"
Fu Yao told what happened.
Li Shui said with emotion: "The princess is so gentle and virtuous."
Scenes of past events appeared in front of Fu Yao's eyes, and Wei Young grabbed his ears and lectured him... Wei Young was gentle? is that so?
Fu Yao said to Li Shui: "Master, why don't we start taking action?"
Li Shui sighed: "That's all, let's start the counterattack tomorrow."
He handed Fu Yao a piece of paper: "Start here first."
Fu Yao took the paper and looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This piece of paper is to reveal the secret of a certain merchant cheating customers. And this trap involved two reporters from Xianyang Daily.
Although these two reporters were not officials, they liked Confucianism and were closely related to Wu Jing.
These two people were the authors of a series of articles that slandered Li Shui.
Now as long as Fu Yao publishes this article, the reputations of these two reporters will be completely ruined.
The two of them fell down, and the credibility of the previous words that slandered Li Shui was compromised.
Fu Yao carried this piece of paper and returned to Daqin Daily happily.
Wu Jing, on the other hand, is still immersed in the dream of a Confucian leader. He even began to think about how he could be more humble when he succeeded Chun Yuyue, how he could behave... I actually don't want to be the leader of Confucianism, they forced me to do it...
