On the day of the banquet, Xiang Zhihan and Jiang Buwan invited waiters from nearby restaurants to serve the guests. Qingruo and Xiang Zhihan were responsible for greeting guests at the door. Jiang Buwan and Cui Jing entertained the guests inside, and the scholars After greeting Cui Jing, they all looked at the legendary Master Jiang.
"Mr. Jiang is not only extremely knowledgeable, but his appearance is like that of an immortal descended from heaven."
"Mr. Jiang is a woman as good as a man, and has a beautiful heart. He really makes us feel ashamed."
"Mr. Jiang, Master Yang's method of controlling the river is really a wonderful secret, but was it taught by Master Jiang?"
The reason why these scholars were so flattering to Jiang Buwan had to do with the now popular Yang Ce.
Yang Ce was originally a second-rank official, but now he has made great achievements in river management and has been favored by the emperor. At a young age, he has become a popular person in front of the emperor. He will definitely have a bright future in the future. However, Yang Ce is stubborn, and most people who come to fawn over him cannot find him. So these people set their sights on Jiang Buwan.
Mu Bai mingled in the crowd, talking casually to the boy next to him, saying, "Nanning, there are so many people, I think this trip is in vain."
There were not a hundred but eighty people coming to the banquet. Jiang Buwan was surrounded by people and had no chance to talk to him up close.
Xie Nanning looked at Jiang Buwan, who was chatting and laughing with others, and who was at ease with others. He had met hundreds of ladies from various families in Beijing, and there were many outstanding women in the family. They were smart and agile, and their literary skills and martial arts were as good as those of men. But Jiang Buwan was here Among the women she had ever seen, she was undoubtedly the most dazzling one.
What surprised him the most was not Jiang Buwan's stunning appearance, but her black eyes, which were piercing and unforgettable.
"Hi? Nanning, I'm talking to you."
Xie Nanning: "Let's sit down first."
Mu Bai: "Xie Nanning, you are not in a hurry."
Xie Nanning raised his eyes and looked at her, "I'm not in a hurry to reply, are you in a hurry?"
Mu Bai looked into Xie Nanning's dark eyes and shook his head repeatedly. Our Highness is not in a hurry to reply. Why should she be anxious if she is alone?
only. . .
Mu Bai looked at Jiang Buwan, who was above him. In his opinion, Jiang Buwan was very good, but it was not like there were no girls like Shangjing, and he didn't know what His Highness saw in her.
The guests who went to the banquet took their seats one after another, and the order of seating did not matter. Whoever came first sat down first.
The scene was peaceful, the scholars scolded others in a high-level way, and praised others in a way that made you feel comfortable.
After they praised Jiang Buwan, they all turned to Xiang Zhihan, praising him as a benevolent doctor and a contemporary miracle doctor.
After three rounds of drinking, the scholars all expressed their willingness to become disciples of Jiang Buwan and study in Hongmeng Academy.
Jiang Buwan said bluntly, "Hongmeng Academy was originally opened by me specifically for the children of this town. As for adult scholars, I had no idea at first."
"If your great talent only teaches children, it will be wasted."
Jiang Buwan smiled and said, "We won't talk about this today, we will just drink."
Xiang Zhihan looked at the wine glass in Jiang Buwan's hand with worried eyes. Wanwan had already drank several glasses of wine, so he wouldn't be drunk.
Seeing that Jiang Buwan didn't want to talk about it, everyone had no choice but to give up.
During the banquet, someone else asked, "Mr. Jiang, now the Chu country is weak, natural disasters continue, and powerful enemies in the north are eyeing it. How can we save the country?"
After hearing this, everyone stopped drinking and looked at Jiang Buwan who was looking up.
Among the people who came to the banquet, some came for fame and fortune, but there were also true patriots who were eager to find ways to strengthen the country and show their ambitions in the officialdom in the future.
Mu Bai and Xie Nanning looked at Jiang Buwan at the same time, expecting how she would answer.
They thought that Jiang Buwan would talk about a few ideas like other great talents, but Jiang Buwan said nothing.
"We agreed not to talk about anything tonight." Jiang Buwan said.
"It's not easy to meet Mr. Jiang. Please clarify my doubts."
Jiang Buwan sighed softly, it wasn't that she refused to teach, but it was the best policy. It had been available since ancient times, but everyone knew the best policy but it was difficult to implement it.
Just like how to live longer, doctors tell you to exercise more, have a regular work and rest schedule, and eat healthily.
This is something everyone knows, but how many people can do it?
To strengthen the country, reduce corvee and reduce taxes, improve the livelihood of the people, restore the population, open up to commerce, strengthen the economy, recruit troops and train, and recruit talents, these are all possible, but if you want to do it, she can't just say a few words here. Do it.
Moreover, the Chu State is now weak and hastily changed its policy for fear of not being able to make up for its shortcomings.
"Cultivation of literature and morality internally, and military preparation externally." Jiang Buwan said. "I heard that the grasslands in the north are vast, and Tarla now dominates the grasslands. But he has a younger brother who was defeated and fled when he was fighting for the world with Tarla in his early years. However, he never gave up and has been against Tarla for many years. We can secretly Help Tarla's brother and disturb the water in the north. As for the internal affairs, natural disasters are constant. The court and the people have little money, so they can make a living with the people by doing light corvee and paying little tax, and then open up trade routes and trade with all ethnic groups."
Mu Bai snorted, "What are we going to do to help Tara's younger brother? Let me tell you, it's better to rush into the grassland and kill them all so that they won't dare to attack me again for a hundred years."
"You are all going to be officials in the future. As long as you have the people in your heart and are dedicated to serving the public, the Kingdom of Chu will naturally be strong and prosperous."
Jiang Buwan didn't say much to them until he arrived. If anyone asked again, Jiang Buwan would just shake his head and say nothing.
The change of a country requires not only good ministers, but also a wise master.
Fortunately, she found the Ming Lord of Chu State.
Jiang Buwan raised his eyes to look at the young man sitting in the back row. He has fair skin and warm facial features. He looks gentle and approachable, but his phoenix eyes are powerful. Especially when he looks at you seriously, you can't help but It will make people feel terrified.
Although Jiang Buwan has no spiritual energy now, she has not lost her ability.
She could see that this young man was surrounded by dragon energy and was born to be an emperor. However, her life palace was dim, which proved that she would face a great disaster when she was twenty years old. If she survived safely, she would soar into the sky in the future. If you can't cross it, you'll end up with a handful of loess.
The same goes for the dark-skinned boy next to him. His destiny is almost connected with his.
Time passed little by little, and Jiang Buwan temporarily retreated in the name of being too drunk. When Yang Ce saw Jiang Buwan leaving the table, he quickly followed.
"Sir, didn't you say you would accept disciples?" Yang Ce asked, "Why didn't you mention this at the table just now? Among so many literati, didn't you like one of them?"
Jiang Buwan: "Yes, I have my eye on two people."
"Who is it?" Yang Ce was overjoyed and asked quickly.
Jiang Buwan took Yang Ce into hiding in the dark. She pointed at the two handsome young men in the back row and said, "The two of them."
When Yang Ce heard this, he looked over and saw two young men, one black and one white, one tall and one short, both with extraordinary bearing.
However, one of them is not dressed as a scholar. Judging from his appearance, he is clearly a martial arts practitioner.
