Lin Changgong originally wanted to ask Ah Fu to change the tea, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Tianquan Longjing seemed to be the best tea he could collect, so he could only sit down in frustration for a while.
Then, with lingering excitement, he asked: "Dear guest, do you really plan to hire our Red Flag Escort Agency for a year and a half, and double your money?"
"Of course, but since I have paid so much money, I naturally have some demands to make."
When Lin Changgong heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said: "It should be, it should be."
"It's not much, just two points."
"Once we come, I hope that the Red Flag Escort Agency can move from Yuzhang County to Huainan County. I'm afraid you will have to leave your hometown for a while."
Lin Changgong thought about it and felt it was reasonable, so he nodded.
After all, you are working for others, so moving is not too much.
"Secondly, I hope the Red Flag Escort Agency can change its name."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became stagnant.
You know, the most important thing in the world is a reputation.
No matter how earth-shattering something you do, if you don't leave your name, it will probably be in vain.
Their Red Flag Escort Bureau has achieved its current reputation only because of escort trips one after another.
Now let them change their names and serve as escorts for a year and a half, which is equivalent to the Red Flag Escort Bureau disappearing from the world for a year and a half!
What will they do for a living a year and a half later?
Doesn't this cut off their Red Flag Escort Bureau's livelihood?
If he hadn't had a very pleasant conversation with Gu Beichuan just now and knew that the other person had come from Huainan specially, Lin Changgong might not have thought that Gu Beichuan was making fun of him.
But even so, Lin Changgong's face instantly turned cold.
For a time, the negotiations were suspended.
At the critical moment, Li Dongbi stood up and said: "Boss Lin, our boss is not a member of the martial arts world, and we don't know the ways inside. Don't be angry. Let's discuss it later."
After hearing this, Lin Changgong's expression softened slightly.
Later, the two parties agreed that the Hongqi Escort Agency would still be called the Hongqi Escort Agency, but it would have to be named Feihong.
Changed its name to Feihong·Red Flag Escort Agency.
After the discussion, Lin Changgong finally felt a big stone in his heart.
Then he had some questions and said, "I don't know the customer's name yet, and what kind of storybook we are going to deliver?"
Since both parties have reached cooperation, these things naturally need to be clarified.
"I am visiting Huainan and Gu Beichuan. The original version of the story is called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is not very famous. You must have never heard of it."
As soon as Gu Beichuan said this, the atmosphere at the scene became stagnant again.
In Lin Changgong's mind, only the two words "Huainan Gubeichuan" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" kept echoing, which made him deafen and enlighten.
"You...are you the Huainan Gu Shijun who is known as the star of literature and music? The author of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
"Um...you know me?"
"What are you talking about, Gu Shijun? We rough guys like you can't understand your poems. But we know about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!"
"Let's just say that in this world, who doesn't admire the second master Guan for his gold seal and his righteousness?"
"To be honest, the young people on the road now worship Second Master Guan."
"We have admired you, the living Wenquxing, for a long time, and today we have met a real person."
Gu Beichuan also smiled a little when he heard this.
His original purpose in writing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was simply to recruit bookstores in Huainan and then use them to open channels.
He was also somewhat unexpected to create such an explosive situation.
But it's a good thing after all.
"Then I wish us happy cooperation!"
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
As the two palms clasped together, the Red Flag Escort Bureau also officially joined Feihong!
…
It has to be said that the strength of the escorts of the Red Flag Escort Bureau is indeed much inferior to those of Du Jinxin, Li Dongbi and other direct descendants of the Yaowang Palace.
But it is more than enough to deal with some reckless bandits.
With their help, the safety of the Feihong transportation team has been greatly guaranteed.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was also shipped to Kyoto, and even became popular throughout Daqian at an extremely fast speed.
But no matter how fast the speed is, it still takes time.
So what was Gu Beichuan doing during this time?
He is teaching!
Nanshan Study.
This is where Gu Beichuan takes classes. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the environment is beautiful.
At this moment, Gu Beichuan was standing on the three-foot podium with a serious look on his face.
Facing each of the disciples below, he tested his schoolwork.
"Tell me, what's the difference between rhymed poetry and quatrains?"
"What rhyme is No. 53 in "108 Rhymes"?"
"What are the rhyming methods? Let's talk about them one by one."
After a long time, Gu Beichuan stopped taking the exam, with a look of relief on his face.
"Well, it seems that you have been working very hard these days and have never slacked off. You are very satisfied as a teacher."
"Now it seems that the poetry subject in the general examination should not be a problem."
Hearing Gu Beichuan say this, the disciples couldn't help but smile with joy.
They all had some problems with their poetry, so their parents admired Gu Beichuan's talent and sent them to study.
Looking back now, the original choice was indeed a good one.
"However, this is not enough."
"If you want to be named on the gold medal list, or even be listed in the top three, relying solely on poetry is not enough."
"Next, I will teach you eight-legged writing."
Eight-legged essay writing is perhaps the most famous subject in the ancient imperial examinations, and the term "eight-legged essay writing" has even been spread.
In the history of later generations, stereotyped writing began to sprout in the late Tang Dynasty and reached its peak in the late Ming Dynasty! It was abolished in the late Qing Dynasty.
So what exactly is eight-legged stock?
In fact, it is just an article genre.
It requires that the article must have four parallel paragraphs of text, including eight parts in total, so it is called eight-part essay.
In addition to this, there is a set format.
The full text consists of breaking the topic, carrying on the topic, starting the story, entering the topic, starting the chapter, middle chapter, back chapter, ending chapter, and conclusion.
If you don't write according to this format, you will miss the topic or miss the subject.
And even if you write according to this format, it still has to fit the title.
So what exactly is the topic?
That's a good question.
Compared with the complicated formats and genres, this is the most demonic part of the eight-part essay!
Where can I be a monster?
The scope is huge!
All Confucian classics, the Four Books and Five Classics, and famous quotes and aphorisms in them can be used as titles.
The most hateful thing is that someone later invented some kind of tangential question!
Take two unrelated sentences and put them together abruptly.
The candidates are asked to guess the source. If they guess wrong, they lose everything.
Even if you guess correctly, you still have to write an obscure and difficult-to-understand article of hundreds of words based on this unrelated word and strictly follow the format.
This method of recruiting scholars is really unscrupulous.
That stereotype is so difficult, can Gu Beichuan know it?
