"I know Lord Luo of red tea moves taught you some skills. Your majesty also had a good impression of you when you entered Changchun Garden last time, but this does not mean that you can enter the martial arts academy. Since you are also an official of the Sui Dynasty, you naturally know that President Zhou of the martial arts academy is a very strange and special person. Your majesty likes it, he may not like it. And the martial arts academy... Your majesty is There will never be too much interference. "
Wu Yi beckoned the servant girl to come and change tea. This pot of Duzhi Dahongpao was only added three times and the water was about to be poured out. I have to say that the life of the richest man is too extravagant. Wuyishan Dahongpao is said to be brewed nine times without reducing the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. Such expensive tea is only brewed three times and thrown away, so Fang Xie's mouth can't help but skim.
Wu Yidao didn't care about his little move. He smiled and said, "I can't bear it, because I actually bought it with money. But when people reach a certain height, they can't help but pretend to be free and easy. For example, if people know that I really brew a pot of tea nine times, it will immediately attract a lot of ridicule."
He stood up and walked to the lotus pond and took a deep breath of the moist air. He wanted to sigh. Suddenly he remembered that Fang Xie had just spilled urine not far away. He immediately turned and walked back: "I've never been afraid of ridicule, but my business is afraid. You can think that at my point, any bad news can affect my business... For example, if I really brew this pot of tea nine times before I lose it, someone will immediately speculate that I don't have much money in my hand, otherwise I wouldn't be so stingy."
"Then what?"
He asked Fang Xie.
Fang Xie didn't have to think about it and replied: "Then give you the goods first. Those who haven't got the payment will immediately come to try. It doesn't matter, but there are always some fools who will believe the rumors. When there are more and more fools, even if the goods go down all over the world, no matter how strong the strength is, they can't help digging out a little bit like ants. What they fear most... Is that ants dig too much, and the dam will collapse when a wave hits."
"Smart"
Wu Yi smiled, pointed to his yard and said, "I have a title now, so I should keep a low profile. But keeping a low profile depends on where I can raise my posture on trivial matters, which is beneficial and harmless."
Fang Xie nodded and said, "in fact, I always think businessmen are terrible."
"Why?"
Wu Yi asked.
"It seems that businessmen did not have a high status in the Sui Dynasty. They met each other on a narrow road. Even if they met a poor farmer, businessmen would give way. But this is a matter of the surface. Secretly, businessmen have some means to make the farmer die."
"That's too dark."
Wu Yidao shook his head slightly and didn't want to entangle himself on this topic: "I heard that you didn't know how to coax the highly respected scholars in the imperial court. When drinking tea with Niu huilun, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and Zhuang Chuyu, a scholar of Shuhua Pavilion university a few days ago, these two adults were full of praise for you."
"Pure literati are much more lovely than pure officials."
Fang Xie smiled and said.
"Why are you always so dark when you look at people and things..."
Wu gave him a confession and said: "But you're right. Although those college students are all from famous families, and they are arrogant and uncomfortable in their bones, they are the other people who don't care about their rank in the officialdom. They all say that literati despise each other... Not all of them. At their height, there's no need to compete with others. There are only those who can compare with others except knowledge They are generous. So they can accommodate people, but they can't accommodate them. They also like to attract young talents to their own door. They call it "instructing and promoting young and promising students". In fact, they also make a face for themselves. "
He said with a smile, "you haven't seen how boring the Sao Qing scene is when several great scholars sit together. Those with fewer disciples are bigger than those with more disciples. Those who can't compare with disciples are better than their talents. In the end, they are red in the face and want to fight with crutches."
"But one thing..."
Wu Yidao concluded: "They are tolerant and willing to show their magnanimity to help rising stars. But they can't allow young people to climb on their heads before they die. Of course, if there is a way, they don't even want someone to climb on their heads after they die. So... No matter how powerful you are in the future, you must show enough humility and respect to them. It seems that you have no power, but it's big The greatest capital in the hands of the scholars is the number of disciples... Who hasn't been a minister or a general? "
"Thank you!"
Fang Xie, I sincerely wish you a good bye.
Wu Yi waved his hand and said, "I'm just in a good mood today, so I'll have a chat with you. If you're so serious about thanking me, it's boring. I don't accept your money for news and knowledge, and you don't have to say thank you. Of course, if you really feel sorry and insist on giving me money, even if it's one or two, I'm sure you don't mind."
Fang Xie smiled and felt warm. Although he knew that Wu Yidao could become the richest businessman in the Sui Dynasty and would never waste time and talk to an unknown generation without any value, Wu Yidao's previous words were intended or not to mention him. This is human feelings.
"Besides, I'm a businessman."
Wu Yi smiled and said, "I only pay attention to profits. I tell you so much because I think you have a future. It's better to send people in advance than to catch up with you in the future. Although talking to you now is not a timely help, it's easier for you to remember me than icing on the cake in a few years."
Honesty is a rare honesty in businessmen.
"If you don't see it, you can prosper as you say."
Fang Xie's practical and realistic answer.
"Hypocrisy"
Wu gave him a clear look, smiled and asked, "do you know what is the biggest secret of my success?"
Wu Yidao mentioned this topic when chatting with Fang Xie before. Fang Xie remembered it. Wu Yidao said that he lost all his money in business three times. Later, he didn't believe in any feeling, but gradually prospered with the experience of failure and more looking, asking and thinking.
"Is it eyesight?"
Fang Xie answered tentatively.
"Fart!"
Wu Yidao laughed: "Cast more nets and make good friends. Who knows which one of the nets you cast will catch a big fish? It doesn't need any investment. Maybe there will be a big harvest. The more you do, the better. Don't hate trouble. Don't think a young man is poor... Even if he is poor all his life, he still thinks of my good, doesn't he? For example, today, I didn't give you a copper coin or bet on you, I'm just chatting with you. It doesn't have much investment, but it may pay off. So I've never been stingy about the time I spend talking with young people. Goods go down all over the world. Now there are nine big shopkeepers, and I've talked about four of them like this. "
……
……
Wu Yinyu's teeth were itchy. When she first met Fang Xie outside Chang'an City, she felt that the young man was a little unusual, so she was inevitably curious and even wanted to tease him for fun. After returning to the imperial capital, she had no intersection with the young man. In addition, she had trouble, so she forgot Fang Xie.
But today, she was really annoyed by the boy's urine.
At the thought of the lotus pond, she turned things up from her stomach. In the future, she could no longer take off her shoes and touch fish and shrimp in the pond barefoot, which made her more angry. The more she thought, the more disgusting and angry she thought.
A 14-year-old girl is still at the age of not obeying reason. How can she tolerate such a spoiled young lady's temper?
"Cuckoo"
She sat by the bed, biting her lips and asked, "is there any laxative left for the loser son of yuyanghou last time? It's the silly fool who chased after me last time."
"There seems to be some... Miss, what are you doing?"
"Later you go and bring some snacks to your father and them and put the laxative in."
"Ah?"
The cuckoo exclaimed, "isn't that even the master's medicine?"
"Stupid!"
Wu Yinyu said with a mouthful: "my father only eats snacks with a light salty taste. He never eats dessert. Just take the dessert that will be sent up later. The sweeter it is, the better."
"I forgot!"
Dujuan was also annoyed by the rogue behavior that Fang Xie urinated in the lotus pond, and immediately fell in love with Miss Wu Yinyu. The two little girls immediately took action. Dujuan went to the kitchen to get dessert, while Wu Yinyu smashed the laxative found by Dujuan with a small hammer. When Dujuan came back panting with a plate of sweet spots, the two little girls looked at the powder on the table and smiled wickedly.
Wu Yinyu closed her eyes and her mind was full of pictures of the bastard rushing into the toilet.
Lotus pond
Wu Yidao pointed to the sky and explained to the other side: "The sky you see in fangucheng is no different from the sky you see in DIDU. But you should understand that in Fangu, the sky is very high, but in DIDU, the sky never looks so high. Maybe you can touch the sky and shake it straight. In Fangu, you can't touch it even if you stand on the city wall."
"But... Because you may be able to touch the sky, it's very dangerous. One moment it's still blue, and the next moment it may be cloudy and thunder. If you stand high, you must first stabilize the foundation before you won't fall."
"The martial arts academy is your foundation."
Wu Yi looked back at Fang Xie and said, "don't waste."
He pondered for a moment and said: "I won't spend money to buy the examiners to give you access. Everyone knows that the professors and examiners in the martial arts academy are annoying, but I know that the people in the martial arts academy are not honest at all. They charge more money than anyone else... Of course, there is a big difference between the silver collection of the martial arts academy and the cash collection of corrupt officials. You know that seven or eight out of ten people recommended by various cities have no real skills, if not It's because taking the exam in the martial arts academy can add some flaunting capital to them that they don't bother to come all the way to be angry. "
"It is precisely because many people want to travel around the martial arts academy to increase their fame and qualifications in the future, so there are not a few people who give money. Zhou Yuanzi of the martial arts academy secretly never refuses to give money to the door. Whoever gives more money, he is not stingy to open a back door and put it in the door. It is said that... Your majesty likes Zhou Yuanzi's practice very much, because Zhou Yuanzi will keep the money intact Give it to your majesty. It is estimated that the large number can make your majesty smile. "
"Even if I am rich and appreciate you, I am not willing to send you tens of thousands of liang of silver. I can't help you much. Telling you who deserves attention is one of them."
He sat down and said gently, "first, you should have a good relationship with the same people recommended by the military department. Most of these people are from poor families, so they are very united. Once you have a good relationship with them, it will be very helpful to you in the future. There are three military candidates in the martial arts academy this year. At least they look far more brilliant than you in the reported materials."
"Wang Wei, the leader of the troops at the edge of Baishui city. It is said that he already has four grades of accomplishments. If it weren't for his bad background, he should be a school captain. Baishui city is located in the south of Xinjiang. There are many foreigners, violent and barbaric, uneducated, and there are riots every year. Wang Wei's name is gentle, but he acts decisively and ruthlessly. Since he became a leader of the troops for the past two years, he has brought them every year The soldiers slaughtered several villages that didn't obey the discipline. There was no way to kill people. Baishui city was under the jurisdiction of Yong County, so he was the man of Luo Yao, the left avant-garde general. "
"Zhang Kuang, the army near Anyuan city is. This man seems to be a lot more gentle than Wang Wei, but you should remember one thing... Anyuan City conflicts with the northeast of the Empire, with 100000 mountains on one side and the territory of the northern barbarians on the other. The northern barbarians are much more barbaric than those in northern Liao. There is a commander of Khan Wanyan Yong in northern Liao, but the northern barbarians have no unified ownership, just like a group of wild animals. Zhang Kuang once lived in a tribe of the northern barbarians for several years and even married the daughter of the leader of the northern barbarians. Until he gained the trust of the northern barbarians, he immediately led the border troops to kill tens of thousands in the first World War, and the northern frontier was stable for two years. When he took the test of the Martial Arts Academy last time, he was still living carefully with the northern barbarians, but he didn't catch up. "
"He killed the leader of the northern barbarian tribe and his northern barbarian wife himself."
Wu Yi added a sentence and continued: "Mo Xidao, the Scout of Fenghuang station in the eastern border city, is from the same origin as you. The difference is that his credit is much greater than you. Two years ago, a general of the eastern Chu state planned to sneak into Fenghuang station with his men and horses because he hated the great Sui Dynasty. The Fenghuang station guard who didn't know how to know the news sent Mo Xidao to sneak into the eastern Chu for verification."
"As a result, he killed 116 members of the East Chu general overnight. In the next 13 days, he just escaped from countless pursuers and drew a military garrison map along the East Chu border. After he returned to fenghuangtai, there will be no obvious reward for this credit. Of course, the military of the great Sui Dynasty will never admit that there was such a harm to the great Sui Dynasty and its friends Emotional people exist. "
"These three people have something in common, that is, they have high accomplishments, especially Mo Xidao... They may have reached the strength of more than six grades. Moreover, they are all very smart, even scary. If not, they can't complete their mission alive. If they grasp them well, they will help you a lot."
Fang Xie listened attentively and remembered the three people in his heart. Suddenly, Wu Yidao's words were interrupted by a beautiful little servant girl. This little servant girl who looked thin and tall on Fang Xie's shoulder was carrying a plate of snacks. Her hand trembled and her voice trembled and said, "Sir, young master Fang, have some snacks first?"
