When Fan Zhiwen followed Lu Haowen, the great genius of the Lu family in Shouzhou, to Sucheng, his rival Wu Haogu also arrived in Sucheng, and he became the target of a group of Confucian scholars who came to apprentice......

Because his outfit is too "Confucian", and he also has a very blinking "Golden Retriever Woman" by his side. A Confucian scholar should be "others carry swords, but I have a pen like a knife", but Wu Haogu never leaves his sword. That's it, it's normal to walk outside and defend yourself with a sword. But with a "golden retriever woman" like Olga by her side, it's a bit eye-catching!

is such a beautiful golden retriever maid, and she looks like she is still a martial artist, how can she buy it without two or three thousand yuan? took her out, but it was Chiguoguo's show off of wealth. And these two guys are swaggering and standing on the south gate tower of the low city wall of the town town to watch the scenery. I don't know how the village soldiers guarding the city let them go up? Didn't you spend a lot of money to buy it on the road?

The high-profile Confucian who shows off his wealth is most likely the son of a certain maritime merchant here in Haizhou, right?

"It must be a son of a maritime merchant, and the maritime merchant is barbaric and lawless, so there are many children who practice martial arts and fight ruthlessly."

"Most likely, the beautiful and martial golden retriever maid is only raised by the merchant ......"

"What is a son of a maritime merchant doing on Yuzhou Island? Do you also want to worship under Mr. Dongpo's door? ”

"Perhaps? In this dynasty, the restrictions on the children of merchants are very loose, and the children of big merchants can always find a way to participate in the imperial examination. ”

"The merchant's son should be raised? Will they pass the exam? ”

"It can't be said that they can't pass the exam, the Yuan Era of the current Science and Technology Province, and the sixth Wuwang Dao of Jinshi, are all children of merchants. Both of them also married the prime minister's granddaughter and daughter, and they may be recommended to the two governments in the future. ”

"Alas, if there really is such a day, I am afraid that the unscrupulous businessmen in the world will be even more difficult to govern!"

Everyone discussed for a while, and the content had shifted from envy, jealousy, and hatred of Wu Haogu to dissatisfaction with the merchant's entry.

Because the Taizu of this dynasty encouraged Jiangmen to seek wealth, even the policy towards merchants was also relatively loose - there was no way not to be relaxed, Kaifeng Jiangmen were all business generals, and the 200,000 forbidden officers and soldiers who defended the Great Song Emperor were also "concurrently" engaged in industry and commerce. The Great Song Dynasty officials still have to rely on them to defend it, without them, can the Holy Monarch Zhao Ji sleep at night?

Therefore, the new policy led by Wang Anshi can only use policies in the face of this group of profiteers, not with a butcher's knife. If you can use a butcher's knife to deal with the industrial and commercial generals and forbidden troops in Kaifeng Mansion, then why is there any need for Wang Anshi to come up with so many "harmful" new policies? Just raid the house and break the door, how fast the money comes, and killing profiteers is very happy......

It's a pity that the Great Song Dynasty has no way to deal with the merchant group. Moreover, many businessmen's children stepped into officialdom through the three routes of imperial examination, baoju and taixue.

In particular, since Xining, government schools have flourished, giving more opportunities for industrial and commercial children concentrated in the metropolis to receive high-level examination-oriented education. Therefore, in recent years, the number of high school scholars for industrial and commercial children has gradually increased.

And Wu Haogu didn't know that his great Confucian would be so hated at this time, he was very happy to see so many Confucian students coming to Yuzhou Island - he was so clever and alone, so he naturally knew that these people were here to apprentice.

It is impossible to worship Su Dongpo, Su Dongpo only accepts Confucians like himself, their Confucian level is not enough, at most they worship a Sumen bachelor, that is, their own teacher and nephew. That's great! I turned around and asked Ximen Qing to prepare more red envelopes, and each person sent them one. As an uncle, I should still buy people's hearts......

Wu Haogu looked at the Confucian students wandering on the cross street of Sucheng Town, and his mood suddenly improved.

I was worried that no one would go to preach and preach, but I didn't expect that so many people would come here before the Yuntai School Palace opened.

It seems that Confucianism is booming!

"Master, look over there, there's a real warrior!"

Olga suddenly shouted excitedly, and raised his hand to point to Fan Zhiwen, who had just walked in under the city gate, because Fan Zhiwen had his back to Wu Haogu, so Wu Haogu didn't recognize it for a while.

"He's a warrior? How so? Wu Haogu asked curiously.

"He carries a long sword that he uses on the battlefield."

Olga is the daughter of the leader of the Eastern Roman mercenaries, and at a glance she can see that the black cloud sword carried by Fan Zhiwen is quite good.

Wu Haogu and the swords she carried with her were very well decorated, inlaid with precious stones, gold and jade, and they were quite expensive. However, the length is not enough, the weight is too light, and the blade is too soft. It's okay to take these two swords with you, and it's more appropriate to pretend to be one, but they can't go to the battlefield.

"Can a long sword really go to war?" Wu Haogu asked Olga, "Didn't you Roman warriors all use short swords?" ”

"That was before the fall of the Western Empire," said Olga, "and now Roman mercenaries are wearing cross-shaped swords. If I could have a sword like this, I would be able to guarantee that no sinister assassin would hurt you. ”

"Insidious assassins?" Wu Haogu smiled, "There are no assassins like that in the Great Song Dynasty, but I can still give you a cross-shaped long sword." ”

"Okay, okay." Olga said excitedly, "Master, I will draw the sword, just let the blacksmith follow it." ”

Wu Hao Guyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, I know how to draw...... Get you a Valyrian style sword. ”

Olga tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked, "Valyria?" Is it a place name? ”

"Well, it's a legendary Western country......"

When Wu Hao Gu was talking nonsense with Olga, Fan Zhiwen, who was carrying a long sword under the city gate tower, turned around somehow and found that his opponent had also come to Yuzhou Island.

"Wu Haogu! How did he come to Yuju Island? Fan Zhiwen blurted out and shouted.

Lu Haowen, who was with him, heard his words, hurriedly turned around, and also saw Wu Haogu standing on the city gate tower, with a sword in his waist, and a golden haired beauty by his side.

"He's Wu Haogu?"

"yes!" Fan Zhiwen said fiercely, "It's a wealthy businessman ...... Kaifeng"

When Lu Haowen heard the affirmative answer, he shouted at the city gate, "That brother on the city gate, but Kaifeng Wu Chongdao?" ”

Wu Haogu heard someone call him, and hurriedly looked down, and saw a middle-aged man who was white and fat, dressed as a Confucian student.

"In Xiazheng's Wu Haogu, I don't know the name of this brother Taigao?" Wu Haogu smiled and asked questions on the city gate.

"It's Shouzhou Lu Hao who asked." Lu Hao asked and arched his hand politely, what kind of family is he? Ears and eyes are psychic, he has long known that Wu Haogu is a confidant of the official family, but he still doesn't know that Wu Haogu has become a great Confucian. Because when Wu Haogu was discussing Taoism with Confucianism in Kaifeng Mansion, he had already accompanied his father Lu Xizhe from Hezhou to Beijing.

"This is Fan Congbin from Yunzhou." Lu Haowen asked and pointed to Fan Zhiwen again.

"Congbin" is Fan Zhiwen's new font name, which means to be both civil and military. However, Wu Haogu immediately recognized him as Fan Zhiwen, the thirteenth talent of the Yanggu Yimen Fan family.

This guy actually came to Yuju Island as well. Wu Hao Guxin said: Why does he still carry that black cloud long sword? Is it difficult to practice fencing hard and prepare to assassinate himself and Ximen Qing? Fortunately, he has the "Crusader Woman" Olga, who is not afraid of him, a sinister assassin.

"It turned out to be Brother Shun's apprentice, long admiration, long admiration."

Wu Haogu read the history of Jingkang's shame in later generations, and knew that there was such a "second minister" as Lu Haowen - he followed Zhang Bangchang after the fall of Kaifeng Mansion, and later persuaded Zhang Bangchang to return to Zhao Song, and personally went to persuade Zhao Gou to advance. However, he was still severely criticized by Prime Minister Li Gang, and was kicked out of the central government to raise the palace.

In addition, in the memory of this life, there are also deeds of Lu Hao asking his father Lu Xizhe. Lu Xizhe was born in Taixue and was admitted to the official position, and he could have taken the imperial examination, but he was dissuaded by Wang Anshi - because Wang Anshi knew that Lu Xizhe had the potential to become a great Confucian, and he should not waste in the imperial examination and officialdom.

"Fan Shisanlang," Wu Haogu then arched his hand at Fan Zhiwen, "It's been more than a year since Yanggu Yibi, and I don't want to see you here again." Shisanlang came to Yuzhou Island, did he also want to worship Mr. Dongpo as a teacher? ”

Fan Zhiwen said: "What kind of talent do you have to learn? How dare you worship Mr. Dongpo as a teacher? If you can get the favor of Mr. Dongpo's disciples, you will be satisfied. ”

And a little self-aware. Wu Haogu thought to himself: Fan Zhiwen's Confucianism must not be compared with me, and it is a bit reluctant to be Mr. Dongpo's apprentice. If it really doesn't work, let Mi Youren accept him as a beginner and be my apprentice.

"Wu Chongdao," Fan Zhiwen didn't know that there was already a Sumen bachelor who valued him very much and was ready to be accepted as an apprentice, and he was still asking Wu Hao Gudao, "It's not that Brother Tai came to Yuzhou Island, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"I'm here to apprentice." Wu Haogu replied.

A merchant actually wanted to worship Mr. Dongpo's disciple as a teacher......

Fan Zhiwen was a little disdainful in his heart.

Lu Haowen also shook his head in his heart. If Wu Haowen came to apprentice, although it was impossible to be a disciple of Mr. Dongpo, it would be no problem to worship a Sumen scholar like Huang Tingjian.

But Wu Hao Gu ...... Can you do whatever you want if you have money and a backstage? Who eats your set under the Dongpo Gate?

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it, Lu Haowen is also a cultivated Confucian.

"Then Chongdao, have you seen Mr. Dongpo?"

"I've seen it." Wu Haogu said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, the attention of many scholars downstairs at the city gate was attracted.

"Where's Mr. Dongpo?" Lu Hao asked again and again.

"His old man lives with Su Lao Xianggong in Yuntai Village outside Sucheng Town, which is in that brand-new manor." Wu Haogu said, "But now he is not there, but he is going to visit Yuntai Mountain." If Brother Shun and Shisanlang want to see Mr. Dongpo, they can go to Yuntai Village to settle down first, which is spacious and has many empty guest rooms.

Oh, by the way, Huang Fuweng is teaching the method of Xingshu and cursive writing in Yuntai Zhuang today, do Brother Shun and Shisanlang want to listen to it? ”
