People from hundreds of families came to ask for paper, and guests from Xinyuan came one after another. They held all kinds of strange gifts in their hands. Ziyou agreed to give them paper, and everyone was happy. Leave, except for the farmers and the Mo family.
Both of them are mortal enemies of Confucianism. They can still go if they are asked to buy paper, but when they are asked to visit Xinyuan and ask Ziyou to provide them with paper, on the one hand they cannot save face, and on the other hand they are worried about Ziyou. Because of the family's opinion, they were not allowed to give it to them. Seeing that other families happily got Ziyou's promise and left Songhai, Six Finger Black Man and Tian Guang were a little sad.
Farmhouse Qianlongtang.
Tian Guang looked at the Zhu family, the head of the Shennong Hall who came with him to buy paper, a little worried. The Zhu family was also a little worried at the moment. He was a short man sitting on a chair with his hands on his cheeks, wearing a blue mask of sadness on his face.
"Xia Kui, if we come to ask for paper, will Mr. Confucian Ziyou give it to us?" Zhu asked.
"I don't know. Although the peasant family is not as mortal an enemy of Confucianism as the Mohist family, the relationship has been stiff for a long time." Tian Guang said, what he said was actually conservative. When Xu Sheng turned Confucianism into a farmer, he abducted Mencius's disciples to the farmer's house. This is a slap in the face of Confucianism. How can the relationship between their two families be good?
"Then what should we do?" Zhu asked.
Situ Wanli looked at the sad Zhu family and Tian Guang, and thought of Ziyou's original arrangement. Ziyou had lobbied the farmer to worry about the paper, and asked him to take this opportunity to deal with the matter, thereby gradually gaining opportunities to enter the upper echelons of the farmer, so Stand up and say
"Xia Kui, Hall Master Zhu, it's actually easy to talk about coming to ask for paper."
"Oh?" The Zhu family and Tian Guang looked at Situ Wanli with confusion on their faces.
They have also heard something about Situ Wanli. Qianlongtang has the current strength. Situ Wanli has made great contributions. Now they see that Situ Wanli has a way to solve the problem of asking for paper. Tian Guang said
"Deputy Hall Master Situ, come and listen?"
Zhu's face also turned into a curious expression.
"In the last treasure appraisal conference, in order to expand my reputation, I decided to send invitations to Xinyuan privately. I originally thought that Mr. Ziyou would not come, but in fact he came. Although there is no such thing in Yibao I got what I wanted, but I helped him exchange for the meteorite in the hands of the head of the Kanyu family, and exempted him from the commission because it was his first time here. It was considered a favor. When he left, Mr. Ziyou said Let me help him keep an eye out for items like bracelets and jewelry.
Mr. Ziyou has three confidantes around him, women? It is inevitable that you will be interested in these things. Two days ago, we just received a pair of emerald sapphire bracelets, a red agate necklace and a sapphire gem hairpin. I thought I could use this to invite Mr. Ziyou to come to Qianlong Hall. Then talk about asking for paper. "Situ Wanli said with his hands raised.
"Oh my god, there is such an urgent matter in the world. Deputy Hall Master Situ, you have made great contributions." A red mask of joy appeared on Zhu's face. He did not expect that Situ Wanli's unintentional act would actually help the farmer. Great trouble solved.
"This is feasible, Deputy Hall Master Situ, you have made a great contribution." Tian Guang thought for a moment and said.
"I don't dare. It's all thanks to the blessing of my Shennong ancestors." Situ Wanli said.
"Since there is such a thing, I would like to ask Deputy Hall Master Situ to send an invitation to Mr. Ziyou to come to Qianlong Hall to talk about it." said the Zhu family.
"No, Mr. Ziyou cannot come over for this matter. Deputy Hall Master Situ, please bring your things to visit Mr. Ziyou in person, deliver the things, and explain your request for paper," Tian Guang said.
"Ah." Situ Wanli pretended to hesitate.
"Is there something wrong with Deputy Hall Master Situ?" Tian Guang said with a frown.
"Reporting to Xiakui, my subordinate is worried about his low status. If he goes to ask for paper on behalf of the farmer's family, Mr. Ziyou will feel that my farmer's family is looking down upon." Situ Wanli said.
"It turns out that I didn't consider this matter thoroughly and forgot that Confucianism attaches great importance to status. From now on, you will be the acting hall master of Qianlong Hall. When this matter is settled, you will be the head of Qianlong Hall. The Hall Master is in charge of the entire Qianlong Hall." Tian Guang said.
The Qianlong Hall was just set up next to the farmhouse. It didn't matter who the leader was, and he also knew a little about Situ Wanli's abilities. Tian Guang felt that it was feasible to hand over the Qianlong Hall to Situ Wanli.
"Then I would like to thank Xiakui. I will definitely complete this matter." Situ Wanli said with a smile on his face.
"Go ahead. With my order, you can move the items inside Qianlong Hall at will. If you think you can bring anything with you, feel free to bring it with you." Tian Guang said.
"Thank you Xiakui, I will take care of this matter now." Situ Wanli said.
After Situ Wanli finished speaking, he walked out of the room.
The Zhu family looked at Situ Wanli's back with a glint in his eyes. Now his position in the farm family is very embarrassing. It was because of his master's recommendation and defeating many competitors that he became the most powerful member of the farm family - Shennong. The master of the hall.
Although he has taken the position of the hall leader, now among the six halls of the farmhouse, except for him and the hall master of Siyue Hall, all the others are from the Tian family, and the hall master of Siyue Hall has never liked this kind of fight, so It is said that the Zhu family's position in the farm family is extremely embarrassing. If Tian Guang, the chivalrous leader, was not behind him to support him, he would have been secretly tripped up by other Tian families and lost his position as the leader of the hall.
But today, Situ Wanli gave him other ideas. The leader of Siyue Hall now has the idea of retiring, and Situ Wanli is quite ambitious and capable. The Zhu family feels that they can win over one or two to relieve their pressure on the farm.
Soon Situ Wanli came to Xinyuan with the treasure.
"Sir, as he said, the whole farm family is entangled over the paper issue. Xia Kui and the Zhu family, the head of the Shennong Hall, came to Songhai in person, but they have been hesitant to visit him because they were worried that he would be hostile to the farm family. According to Mr. As you said, I recommended myself to visit you sir, and Xia Kui has promised me the position of the leader of Qianlong Hall." Situ Wanli said.
Situ Wanli looked at Zi You in his seat and sighed at Zi You's calculating ability. He had planned the day half a month ago. This ability frightened him.
"Tian Guang and the Zhu family are here in person? The situation of the Zhu family in the farmhouse is not good. After returning, he will definitely try his best to win you over. Now the master of Siyue Hall has the intention to retire. After you return, On the one hand, you agree to his win over, and at the same time, you use Qianlong Hall's financial and material resources to make friends and win over farm disciples. Remember that the goal is not to be in the same hall. Those who are in charge must be win over, but what is more important is to win over those disciples at the lower level. Try it a little better Then they will be on your side." Ziyou said,
He had previously asked Luo Wang to focus his attention on the farmer's family. These days, news about the farmer's family has been coming from Luo Wang's side, saying that the Zhu family suffered another attack from the Tian family. Tian Guang, as the leader of the heroes, even personally rescued the farmer. The Zhu family, brought the Zhu family here this time to avoid Tian's attack.
If the Tian family really liquidates the Zhu family by hook or by crook, Zi Youdao would be very happy to see it. Then the peasant family will begin to split. The Zhu family is now the vague leader of the upper-level people with foreign surnames in the peasant family. If the Zhu family is liquidated , then everyone of these people is in danger. They may not know what they will do for their own safety. It is inevitable that the farm family will be divided. Unfortunately, except for Tian Guang and a few people, the entire farm family can see clearly. People don't see this.
"Yes, sir, these are the treasures you asked me to bring. They are all treasures. Please accept them, sir." Situ Wanli opened the box he brought and revealed three or four pieces of jewelry inside.
"In that case, let it go. You should know how to say it when you go back. Paper is very important to the farmer. Your contribution will be remembered by everyone in the farm," Ziyou said.
"Thank you sir." Situ Wanli said.
After Ziyou explained some things to Situ Wanli, Situ Wanli left. Looking at the jewelry, Ziyou thought about who was suitable. Xue Nu opened the study door and said
"Sir, Qin Mo's people are here to visit."
"Qin Mo? Let them come. You can take these things away. You and Concubine Yan can see who likes the other and take it away." Ziyou said. After all, it was recommended by Ying Zheng. Ziyou felt that he We should meet him.
Xue Nu took the box from Zi You and walked out of the room. Then an old man and a young man walked into the room. The old man had a goatee and was wearing ordinary clothes from the Mo family. What made Zi You most curious was his machine hand. In the Mingyue of the Qin Dynasty, the Mo family and Gong Shujia were the ones who really poked Newton's grave. All kinds of machine beasts, half-human and half-machine emerged in endlessly.
Accompanying him was a woman with a handsome face, dressed in a black suit, full of heroism, and quite like a woman who would not be inferior to a man.
"Young Master of the Mo Sect, Mo Ying, I have met Mr. Ziyou. This is the master of Qin Mo's mechanism - Master Xiangli Guan." Mo Ying introduced.
Ziyou squinted at the old man and the young man in front of him. The identities of these two people would make the ground shake even if they stomped their feet. The Momen was the Mo family's meeting place left when Mozi was still around. Afterwards, the Mohist family was divided into three parts. As the institution in charge of Mohist classics and with the highest seniority, the Mohist family chose to be independent. They did not belong to any of the three Mohist families, but because of their own particularity, they were able to rule the three families. However, the Mohist family only had three points. No one wanted to have a supreme emperor, and Momen also saw the intentions of the three families, so they chose to stay behind closed doors.
But now the young master of the Mo clan came to Ziyou and he knew why. It was just a matter of paper. The classics of the Mo clan were all in the Mo clan, so they naturally needed them. Moreover, since the decline of Qi Mo, the Mo clan was the only one who was interested in learning. I can maintain it for a while.
As for this master Xiangli Guan, he should be a descendant of Xiangli Qin, the original founder of Qin Mo. Qin Mo focused on scientific and technological research and was very pragmatic. As early as after Shang Yang's reform, Xiangliqin felt that Qin was the most likely to realize the final vision of their Mohist family, so after Mozi's death, Xiangliqin took his people directly to Qin, hoping to help Qin completed the unification war.
It's just that Qin Mo's life is not easy. Now the public losers have also defected to Qin. Their hegemonic machine skills are more suitable for Qin's external expansion.
"Young Master Mo clan, you are very polite. Please sit down, please. Why did you find me?" Ziyou pretended to be dumbfounded. The Mo family would not cheat anyone, even if they cheated the Mo family, they could not say anything.
"I'll get straight to the point. Mo Men wants to buy some paper from Mr. The price is negotiable."
Mo Ying looked like he was not short of money, which made Zi You's trait of a profiteer come to the fore. What is the most valuable thing in the Mo family? Of course it’s a machine beast, but it’s not useful for large machine beasts, so he said
"Young Master Mo Ying should also know that paper is in hot demand nowadays, and hundreds of companies have come to look for it. However, it is troublesome for us to make it, so there is no more left."
Mo Ying frowned. She knew that asking for paper would not be that simple this time, so she said
"I would like to ask Mr. Ziyou to be accommodating. Of course, Momen will not let Mr. Zi worry about it in vain. If you have any needs, just say it."
"Now that Young Master Moying has said so, I won't be pretentious. I want fifteen Suzakus." Ziyou said.
Xiangsato, who was drinking tea, suddenly spat out the tea in his mouth. He looked at Ziyou with wide eyes, "Fifteen Suzakus, are you kidding me?" The combined total of the Mohists can only make ten Suzakus, and the Suzakus are much more difficult to make than the White Tigers.
"If Mr. Ziyou wants to say anything, just say it. I respect him as a person, so I want him to say it directly. As long as what he says is reasonable, Mo Ying will never bargain. As for the fifteen Suzakus you mentioned, this is Impossible, the Mo family doesn't have fifteen in total." Mo Ying said.
She had been living in the Mo family's main hospital in the past and didn't know much about the outside world. The news she heard the most about Zi You after this birth was that Zi You was described by others as a man who was knowledgeable, insightful, and devoted to the cause. He is a great sage who cares about the world and seeks to stabilize the world by saving the lives of the people. However, after meeting him, he seems to have noticed nothing except that he is handsome.
"Young Master Moying is right. Mr. Ziyou is indeed overpowering others. If there are fifteen White Tigers, we can still use them, but fifteen Suzakus are indeed not possible. It is extremely difficult to manufacture Suzakus." Sagarato Kan explained. .
"You seem to have misunderstood something? The Suzaku I am talking about is a small Suzaku used to deliver letters, not a large Suzaku used for transportation." Ziyou explained.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mo Ying's face when he heard that it was the small Suzaku, but based on the principle that he could not suffer any loss, he began to bargain with Zi You. Xiangli Guan looked at the two people who were constantly bargaining like merchants and drank tea silently.
The reason why he came to Ziyou was very simple, which was to discuss the alliance between Qin Mo and Ziyou. Although it was impossible for Qin Mo to form an alliance with Confucianism, it was still possible to form an alliance with Ziyou alone. What Ziyou did in Qin He saw everything in his eyes and naturally understood what Ziyou was thinking. Ziyou's ideas coincided with his Qin Mo lineage, so he thought of forming an alliance with Ziyou. After all, Qin Mo's lineage was not having a good time now.
The Gongsun family and Qin Mo were evenly matched against each other, and Qin Mo's strength in the court was not as good as before, so he had to come to Ziyou for Qin Mo's way out. As for the paper, he had never thought about it, Qin State would send it to them I ordered a batch, so there is no shortage.
I finished 10,000 words today. I went to see a doctor in the morning. Fortunately, it was not tenosynovitis. I was scared to death! !
