Chapter 30 - Deceiving Two Disciples

The two devils boasted about Europa, while Old Han Lin angrily smashed Hundred Blossom House. Such an interesting story only took one night's worth of effort to spread across the entire Beijing. Beijing was evil, there were no secrets that could be hidden, not to mention such a dramatic story, it was even more captivating.

"Masters, are you all drinking here?"Aiya, it's Master Gao. Good morning, you're so lucky …" Have you heard? Hanlin House's treasured blade has yet to appear in Hundred Flowers Tower when she destroyed Alone overseas … "

"Aiyo, that Han Lin is so strong? Could it be that it is Wang Shizheng … Aiya, if it was him, it would be hard to avoid, who in the capital would bring up the Wong Lao-Han Lin, you can't pick on Big Bull … "Have you heard? When Old Han Lin saw His Majesty, he returned the favor …"

"Tell me, do you think that Alone overseas Xiao Letian can continue to write this down? "During this period of time, I've watched 'The Journey to the West' four or five times. Even if it's just a mythical act, I'm still thinking about the rest of the story …"

"Forget it, don't even think about it. I've already been appraised by Old Han Lin. This book can be considered to be completely useless." "It is said that old Han Lin has spoken. If a scholar dares to read this book, they must attend to him until he loses his official position …"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this book is really good enough. What a pity …" "Aiyo, I forgot about one thing. I heard that Alone overseas said last night that they created a flying ball in the sky and a ship made of pure steel. They could even go underwater …"

"Yes!" Not only that, there were even the thousand mile sound transmission magic treasures and the machine guns that could fire tens of thousands of bullets in an instant … "Aiyah, you really can live for nothing …"

Just as a few of the tea house's old men were drinking and talking loudly, a cold snort came from the table behind them. "A bunch of countryside savages …"

A few of the old men who were happily chatting immediately stopped chatting at that moment. Who was the one who picked up on this? Come out and let me train … Aiyo, look at my blind eyes, I should have taken them off, isn't that Elder Liu! Lucky for you, please serve my fragrant tea. This is a proper Da Hong Pao! "

The few men who were just about to get angry turned around and their faces immediately changed. At that moment, one of them kneeled down and took out some good tea from his bosom.

It turned out that the flagman's teahouse at that time was the same as some people's smoking habits in the future. If he went to the teahouse and all the old buddies met, then there would be no need to be polite and no need to dress up. However, all of them were holding tea leaves in their arms. If they really met a big shot, they had to quickly change their teas.

In Xiao Letian's previous life, there were also many smokers who kept two boxes of cigarettes, one for 4 or 5 yuan and another for 20 or 30 yuan. The reason was the same.

The one who was honored as Master Liu was not an ordinary person, but was Prince Kung Yi? The sixth wife and brother of the housekeeper! This relationship seemed to be a little complicated, but the moment he said it, he understood it immediately. The steward of the estate, as well as the younger brother of the sixth concubine, was none other than Lord Liu. Now, under the care of his brother-in-law, he was in charge of purchasing vegetables from the Prince's Mansion.

"Seeing that you guys are all rather respectful, let me tell you all the truth." Don't look at how fierce Wang Hanlin and the others were. They were all corrupt and deceitful people who didn't understand the economy. What they said were all lies. This Alone overseas was a truly capable person. My prince hasn't slept a wink during this period of time, what do you know? "It's just that I've watched and drank strong tea throughout the entire night …"

"Actually, I also don't believe that the earth is a ball, but I heard the prince say that the ocean people can only travel in one direction while riding a ship, and that they can return to their starting point. On this point, Xiao Letian did not lie to them. As for the other things in the book, I'm guessing that at least eighty percent of them are real … "

"Aiya!" The teahouse was suddenly in an uproar. Master Liu was very proud of this feeling of being the center of attention, so he unknowingly added a few more sentences, "Actually, what do those corrupt scholars know? The adults of our Great Qing have long believed what the foreigners have said, it's just that they don't say it on the surface. "Even our empress dowager and emperor are reading this book …"

With a boom, the teahouse completely exploded. No wonder the Beijing didn't have any secrets, just based on the quick mouth of this bunch of old men, most likely the commoners would know what the His Majesty ate in the morning.

Although Beijing and the other leaders spoke very quickly, they were indeed talking about the current situation of the Great Qing Dynasty. Not counting the ordinary people who could not read, the educated scholars were now divided into two factions.

The first batch consisted of corrupt scholars like Wang Hanlin. They stubbornly clung onto the saint's classic and refused to let go of it. They did not even believe that the Earth was round and basic. This kind of people filled every county in the Qing Dynasty, and basically all of the lower literati were in this camp.

The other group was the powerful ones. For example, Six Yi, the devil who represented the Great Qing Dynasty to negotiate with the English and French? Although they were small in numbers, they held the power of the whole dynasty at the top, and they were able to accept Western ideas.

But for the sake of the stability of the state, and for political reasons, these leading authorities obviously accepted the knowledge of the West in their hearts, but adopted an ostrich policy and pretended that the problem did not exist, that it was neither certain nor negative, and pretended to be confused. In any case, he was still the head of the annual Imperial Examinations.

"An ancient empire, because of its unusually large body, any changes would be earth-shattering. "Brother, I only wrote such an incomplete essay, yet I was attacked by a group of corrupt scholars. Do you think it is possible for the upper echelons to fully implement Western education?"

In the back garden of the Fan Manor, Xiao Letian set up a table for a feast and invited Luo Hao and Wen Xiu. During the conflict last night, Xiao Letian could tell that the two of them were truly able to accept his thoughts, and the majority of the remaining people were fence-sitters.

"Mr. Xiao is right, if there is a change in the empire, and we were to push all the way to the west to study, these Confucian Scholars who had their jobs smashed would immediately go on a rampage. Back then, when Hong Xiuquan had started his army in Jin Tian City, the most fundamental reason was still that there was no hope for the imperial examinations. "If I had fought a few more rounds of Enke in Guangxi that year, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have been in such a mess …" Luo Hao was a little idealistic. Although he could accept new things, he still liked to think about things simply and peacefully.

But Wen Xiu was different from the Military Intelligence Service Zhang Jing. Everyday, he would only read the petitions of the various daoyin s, and felt that there was nothing good about this Great Qing Dynasty that he could care less about.

"Brother Luo, are you being too idealistic? How could this be possible? The empire was filled with scholars who wanted to become officials, such as Guangxi and Enke. How could Guangdong add more, Henan and Jiangzhe add more? If all the states and counties are Gainke, then the scholar smiles, but you let the court go there to change so many official positions? "

The two young men looked at each other and laughed bitterly as they shook their heads. Although they noticed the problem, they did not have the ability to solve it.

"Sir, please dispel our doubts. From today onwards, we are willing to perform the disciple ceremony under Sir's tutelage. We are willing to run away under Mister's tutelage and do our best to study radio for the west …" After which, he bowed deeply.

Xiao Letian's face still showed tension, but he felt that it was really funny. Confucius's three thousand disciples have flourished in Confucianism. Now that human science and technology have developed to this point, can't I develop to 30,000 disciples? Hahaha, if thirty thousand disciples were to travel through this empire, I would have a chance to make my own plans.

"Ha ha!" Xiao Letian sneered: "Wanting to become my disciple, is not that easy. "You've all seen what happened last night. If the Western Scholars were to attack you unimaginably, they would go so far as to join the faction and start a civil war for the sake of their family's wealth. When that time comes, don't even mention studying to the Western Scholars, even saving their lives would be a different story …"

"Why don't I have a braid? Why would I want to write such a childish "Journey to the West"? "I'm just protecting myself because I'm dirty. With the protection of my identity as the Second Demon Lord, I might be able to live for two more years …"

After Xiao Letian finished speaking, he actually forced out two tears from his eyes with a sorrowful expression. However, he was cursing in his heart. This Xiao Hexin is really a trash, he smeared so much chili sauce on my handkerchief that my eyes were almost going blind.

As the two drops of tears fell, Luo Hao and Wen Xiu were stunned, and their eyes turned red, before prostrating themselves on the ground, "I never thought that my master would have to endure to such an extent, in order to spread the knowledge of the West, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty's prosperity, he actually defiled himself to such an extent … "Sir, this disciple truly admires you. Please accept us …" And then he actually kneeled down.

The literati of Ancient China valued kowtow very much. If they were to perform such a large ceremony, there would be no way to reverse the decision. Xiao Letian was overjoyed, but he still had to pretend.

"Both of you get up first. If you want to be my students, I still need to test you." Here is the latest chapter of . Take a look at it and then copy ten copies each.

When Luo Hao and Wen Xiu heard that the latest chapter had been written, they felt an itch in their hearts as they scratched their hearts. Then, they hurriedly took the books and read it with their ten lines, and when they finished reading the chapter that was more than 6000 words, they started to cry.

"How can this be? Could this be true? An ancient empire of 500 years, the so-called Golden Kingdom of Inca was destroyed just like that? " Luo Hao was completely immersed in the story, and his hands even started to tremble slightly.

Wen Xiu, on the other hand, was pacing back and forth in the rear flower garden restlessly. When she was agitated, she would raise her head and drink a cup of fine wine.

Xiao Letian was not surprised at all by their behavior. The latest chapter he wrote was for the people in power in the Empire to see. If he did not let them know how cruel this world was, they would not value this western study of his.

"Finished?" Xiao Letian coldly said, "Read it and then go and copy it. Turn your grievances into pen and ink and go work overtime tonight. The more you write, the better.

"Sir! Are you not going to print the book? "

"Yes!" You did not guess wrong. From today onwards, this book will be pasted all over the city using this method of serial reporting, and all readers will be able to copy it. "I want all of the children of the Humble Class to learn …"

Luo Hao and Wen Xiu had already been completely conquered by Xiao Letian's magnanimity. They did not expect a wanderer who had returned from overseas with no foundation to have such a broad-mindedness towards the Home Country. In order for even the disciples of the Humble Class to be able to read the book, he actually wanted to spread it for free. The two deeply bowed, then carried the essay into the study room as if they were holding their lives.

Xiao Hexin, Wang Huaiyuan and Sima Yun who were in the corner of the garden were all stunned, all of them said softly, "Good boy, those two should be at least Fifth Rank officials, right? He was tricked into becoming a laborer just like that by the Military Advisor? Was that a ceremony to acknowledge you as my teacher? "

"Nonsense, our advisor is like a man of heaven, isn't it simple to subdue these two little Purging Demons s … I say, can you two stop peeking? Didn't the Military Advisor send you two to Wang Shizheng's home to gather information? How did you return so quickly? "

"Aiya, are you still worried that I'll attack you? That old beggar actually had a fifteen-year-old concubine. How shameless. "Tell me, why didn't the Military Advisor let me do it? Last night, I really wanted to kill this old bastard with a knife …"

"Shut up, everything will be decided by the advisor …"
