Zhang Yan knew that there was a saying among the miscellaneous studies in Nanyuan Kingdom, the "Nine Masters of Miscellaneous Studies", which refers to the nine most accomplished and highly respected intellectuals in the miscellaneous studies in Nanyuan Kingdom. Luo Changshan is one of them.
In addition, all the "eight elders" will naturally be present. Just in order.
Zhang Yan smiled and kept saluting and saying hello. He did not feel troublesome or uncomfortable with polite greetings. This was Zhang Yan's indispensable skill when he was living on earth in his previous life, and now he can still use it easily without looking unfamiliar.
When everyone arrived, Zhang Yan also walked around in a circle, almost drying up his saliva before he got to know all the "eight elders" except Luo Changshan.
To put it simply, these "eight elders" are also divided into three factions. Like Luo Changshan, he is very interested in the concept of "applying what he has learned" proposed by Zhang Yan, and at the same time he is more tolerant of Zhang Yan's behavior of showing his hands in the secular world. On the contrary, there are also people who are very dissatisfied with the ideas proposed by Zhang Yan and even think they are fallacious. He was even more disgusted with Zhang Yan's practice of blending into the secular world and showing off his talents. The final group is neither warm nor distant, neutral.
However, no matter which faction the "Nine Elders" are, they only target Zhang Yan's ideas and behavior, and they still admire Zhang Yan quite a lot. This comes from Zhang Yan's communication skills and the etiquette he always adheres to as a junior, as well as the miscellaneous knowledge he reveals in conversations.
No one knew that Zhang Yan repeatedly thanked his elementary and middle school teachers who were already looking bad. Without their supervision, Zhang Yan would not be able to do so with ease today.
In addition to the "Nine Elders" with the highest status, there were many people present. Although these people were not considered "Nine Elders", they were still masters of the miscellaneous studies. In addition, there are many young people. These people, like Zeng Hao, belong to the younger generation, and they will gain experience after following them.
Zhang Yan was the busiest at the scene. After dealing with the "Nine Elders", he then had to deal with the rest of the group. Even just saying hello shouldn't make anyone feel left out. This is the most basic method when you first enter a circle. If you meet everyone in a circle, you will be able to talk much more easily in the future and it will be less likely to attract people to gossip.
But as a result, Zhang Yan had no time to care about those of the younger generation. The people on the court who gave him "unkind" looks were all from the junior generation. They were probably dissatisfied when they saw someone who was not much older than them being the center of attention. Some people even whispered small talk, and then looked at Zhang Yan's back and sneered.
Zhang Yan pretended not to see it. There is a group of half-grown children, the oldest of whom is four or five years younger than him. At this age, it is the time when the world is too high for you. Not to mention laughing at you secretly, they dare to challenge authority with stiff necks.
"Everyone is here, let's start the banquet?"
"Open the banquet!"
"Okay, everyone, sit down."
Jiulao spoke, and then the banquet began. Dozens of people were sitting in front of the little eucalyptus, and the farther back they were in the circle, the lower the seniority. Zhang Yan was placed in a relatively forward position. Mainly because of his age, it's not appropriate to be too far forward. He was very satisfied with this and wished he could sit at the back.
Originally, Zhang Yan was waiting to see what good food he could eat on the Western side, but he ended up with four dishes, one meat, three vegetarian, plus a small pot of fruit wine and a small bowl of rice. Gone.
Who can eat this little food? Oh, those old men probably have enough to eat. But for Zhang Yan, it was just the weight of his stomach. But he had just come to this occasion, and he hadn't figured out the rules yet, so he didn't say much. Feng Ming will go back to the inn later and ask the kitchen to make him a midnight snack.
I nodded as I ate. Although the dish was small and the preparation was clumsy, it still tasted good.
In fact, most people come here not to eat, so they serve less food to avoid waste. And the atmosphere at the table gradually became warmer as time went on.
"Tomorrow there will be trouble again at Beiwu. Do you have any rules?"
"When have they not made things difficult for me? I've long been used to it. They just show off their tricks."
"You can't say that. There was news from Beiwu before that they would take advantage of this tea party to communicate with us to show off the benefits they have gained from implementing their set of rules over the years. Tsk tsk, they are preparing to fall. We do it to save face.”
"Those who don't care about face are secondary. According to their approach, many of the powerful methods of our miscellaneous school lineage will flow into Beiwu's bright side and turn into strength. How will the balance between Beiwu and Nanyuan be said at that time? ? If it is broken, how will we deal with it when we are forced to do so?"
"So I said, we can't always avoid those barbarians in Beiwu. The more we avoid them, the more arrogant they become. And since the year before last, it can be seen that they are ready to fully integrate into all aspects of Beiwu. This is not just an internal dispute within our miscellany school. Everyone, you need to be extremely cautious!"
...
The "Nine Elders" raise the topic, and the people behind express their opinions. Although they are different, there is also a lot of consensus. That is, Beiwu is menacing and unkind. This time he cannot give in as he did before. He needs to confront them head-on to stop them from messing around.
These words are not difficult to understand. But Zhang Yan was somewhat disapproving of it, and even felt that these people from the Zaxue lineage took themselves and the knowledge of Zaxue too seriously.
Applying the natural sciences of miscellaneous studies in life will indeed help to improve all aspects. In particular, the development and replacement of various tools will be greatly accelerated. Looking at ten or thirty years, it can really enhance the strength of a country or a place. Do you want the knowledge of the Zaxue line to affect the balance of power between Beiwu and Nanyuan in a short period of time? This is really an exaggeration.
Based on the knowledge Zhang Yan gained from Luo Changshan and Zeng Hao during this period about the lineage of miscellaneous studies in the Nanyuan Kingdom, the natural sciences were at the beginning stage at best. The Nanyuan Kingdom and the Beiwu Kingdom should be on the same level because they have the same origin and have been arguing for many years. In this way, Zhang Yan felt that even if the miscellaneous scholars in Beiwu State integrated all their knowledge into all aspects of Beiwu State, they would still not be able to directly break the strength pattern between the two countries in a short period of time. Not to mention "forced".
What weapons of mass destruction can you immediately come up with? Or can he produce a single weapon like Gundam?
What's more, in a world like the Wild Sky Realm where warriors can collapse mountains with their combat skills, ordinary cold weapons can only have a limited effect. It is even more unrealistic to change the strength of the two countries just by thinking about it.
So after hearing what happened, Zhang Yan felt that to put it bluntly, there were differences of understanding between the same school and the real environment, and they all wanted to prove that they were right and the other party was wrong, so they kept arguing. . Really boring.
