Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 330: It's a disaster, not a blessing, it's a favor!
"Jia Cong would like to thank both of you for coming out to help!"

Upon seeing this, Jia Cong bowed to the two semi-saints beside Kong Congwen to express his gratitude!
On that day in Quzhou Prefecture, Jia Cong and Kong Congwen had a very pleasant conversation and became friends regardless of age difference. They could naturally speak without restraint and did not need to be too taboo.

However, the other semi-saints of Nankong need to be treated with courtesy and try to win them over.

"You are too polite, my Lord. Last year, my Lord conquered Southeast Asia and transported a large amount of grain back to Daqian to relieve the famine of our people."

"Outwardly a king, and inwardly a saint, this is the true character of Confucianism!"

The two semi-saints brought by Kong Congwen were both of the same generation as him.

One of them is named Kong Congze, his strength is in the early stage of the fifth realm of semi-saint, and the other is named Kong Congjin, his strength is in the middle stage of semi-saint!

The person who was speaking at this moment was Kong Congjin, and after he finished speaking, Jia Cong looked at him with higher regard.

In the past few years, Jia Cong has launched many wars and established various protectorates.

In fact, let alone those located in Southeast Asia, even the two earliest protectorates of Korea were established for the purpose of plundering resources.

The local indigenous people do not have an easy life, but comparatively speaking.

Several protectorates such as Annan, which were conquered first, have become increasingly stable, and all kinds of resistance forces have been almost wiped out.

Various resources poured into Daqian through the hands of merchants.

Not to mention the price of food, even the prices of people's daily necessities have been decreasing year by year.

On the contrary, it is also because of commercial circulation.

According to secret investigations by ghosts and gods in various places, the number of workshops in various places has also skyrocketed!

The raw materials went through a round of processing before being dumped to Southeast Asia through the hands of merchants.

In this round trip, it's not just the merchants who can profit.

In the final analysis, the innate gods who were nationalists in their previous lives have some ideas in their hearts that those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

Shinto's headquarters has always been in Daqian.

I didn't expect to meet a like-minded person who shares the same idea today.

……

Everyone in the hall seemed to be chatting with each other, but in fact everyone's attention was focused on the entrance of the hall.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

The Kong family values ​​courtesy, but Kong Congwen, as the head of the Kong family and a semi-saint, did not shy away from bantering with Jia Cong.

This is enough to show how close the relationship between Nan Kong and Jia Cong is.

"Sister Bao, the Southern Confucianism is now the head of Confucianism, and has gradually taken over the position of the former head of the Northern Confucianism."

"Brother Cong wants to integrate Nan Kong, which will definitely conflict with their interests."

"Why did you come to participate in the alliance today and send the experts from your clan to help?"

Daiyu, who was sitting behind the desk, appeared calm on the surface, but in fact she was using her divine power to whisper questions to Baochai.

"In the great struggle of the world, the plans of all parties are gradually coming to light. Any one of the hundreds of Confucian and Taoist schools alone is no longer strong enough to compete for the opportunity!"

"Nan Kong has always been a recluse, rarely fighting for fame and fortune. If he were to take the title of the head of Confucianism, he would be plotted against sooner or later."

"So for them, this title is a curse rather than a blessing!"

"It just so happens that Cong wants to integrate Confucianism and Taoism, so this title can be a favor to him."

"As for sending people to help us, this is the greatest opportunity in countless years. There are many people in the Nankong tribe, and there will always be some who are unwilling to do so."

"Mr. Congwen should bring him here. Even if he cannot win the chance, he can always share some benefits by betting on Cong'er!"

Baochai has been following Jia Cong almost since he became successful, killing people all the way, and is the veritable steward of the Shinto system.

After these years of experience, with just a little thought, he was able to guess most of Kong Congwen's plan to bring his tribesmen here.

While the two were communicating, Jia Cong and Nan Kong and his party had already arrived in the hall.

The hundred schools of thought gathered together and exchanged greetings with each other.

After they sat down, Kong Congwen and Wu Chenggeng from the farmer's family had a very pleasant chat. By noon, the hall was already mostly full.

Thirty-two families out of the hundred families came!

Apart from the nine classes and ten families, the rest were mostly great scholars of the fourth realm. Only the family of the Saint of Painting had a newly promoted half-saint who had taken advantage of the great era’s arrival in the past two years to reduce the difficulty of breakthroughs!

There are also the two major schools of medicine, the Nanyang Zhang family and the Bian Que school, each of which has a semi-saint.

Counting the people under Jia Cong's command, there are fifteen semi-saints in the palace today!
There are nearly thirty great scholars!

After taking a look at the sky, I realized that everyone who could come today had already arrived.

The remaining schools are aware of their own weakness and dare not wade into this muddy water, nor can they force it.

"Your presence today truly honors me!"

I saw that everyone in the hall had gradually stopped chatting and focused their attention on me.

Jia Cong picked up the wine glass in front of him, stood up slowly, and without much greeting, went straight to the point!

"Today's Hundred Families gather together for only two reasons!"

"The first thing is to make Confucianism flourish!"

"When I established Dongli Academy, I said that it is not just an academy for me and my family, but also an academy for all scholars in the world!"

"Last year, Dongli Academy established branches in various places. Now, all the two capitals, thirteen provinces, one hundred and thirty prefectures, and one thousand one hundred and thirty-eight counties in the country have established branches of Dongli Academy!"

"The county school, prefectural school, provincial school and the main academy in Shenjing all select students at each level, just to cultivate Confucian and Taoist elites."

"But such a big thing cannot be accomplished by me alone."

"The academy is short of teachers, so we invite you all to come here!"

"For the public, educate the world, benefit the people of the world, and make Confucianism flourish!"

"Personally, you can also use the platform of Dongli Academy to promote your school."

"In the past, when a hundred schools of thought contended, literature was brilliant and many sages emerged!"

"I also hope that one day Dongli Academy will be able to add more sages to Confucianism and restore the ancient culture and elegance!"

"Please help me!"

The cold voice echoed in the hall, and after it was finished, Jia Cong bowed to everyone in the hall.

As soon as he finished speaking, many schools in the hall that had not had the opportunity to join Dongli Academy before could not help but become excited.

Dongli Academy is no longer the same as when it was first built.

The innate gods called it a request, but in fact the first thing they did at the alliance was to put the huge cake of benefits on the table for everyone to divide up.

"My Lord, you care about the common people of the world, seek benefits for the common people, and work hard for the prosperity of Confucianism. I admire you very much!"

"My medical school, the Bian Que School, is willing to send two great scholars and six great scholars to join the Dongli Academy!"

"My Lord, you are right. Confucianism and Taoism are declining. If we don't make progress, we will be ashamed of our teacher!"

"It is our duty to contribute to Confucianism!"

Seeing that the relationship between Jia Cong and the Zhang family of Nanyang was becoming increasingly close, the Bian Que School, which had long been unable to sit still, quickly became the first to express its stance.

With this start, the rest of the people quickly followed suit.

"On behalf of all the students of Dongli Academy, I would like to thank you all!"

After everyone had expressed their opinions, Jia Cong bowed again to express his gratitude.

"Dongli Academy now has one main academy, fourteen provincial schools, one hundred and thirty prefectural schools, and one thousand one hundred and thirty-eight county schools."

"This Marquis initially thought that the provincial school must have a dean with semi-saintly power!"

"In the government school, there should be a great scholar as the dean!"

"As for the dean of the county school, it depends on the population of the county where the school is located. The dean of the upper county school is a great Confucian scholar, and the dean of the lower county school is a Confucian scholar of the late stage or above!"
