Training Tai Sui

"Common people don't care whether it's the Han or the Sui, and it doesn't even matter if they're from other races. They only care about how their lives are going. All they care about is the one-third of an acre of land in front of them. Is it enough to eat? It’s not about being able to eat well. If one day, after they’ve eaten and eaten well, they might open their eyes and see what the world looks like, but talking about enlightenment before that is simply farting.”

Qin Feng's voice sounded behind him, making Wei Zheng shiver, and quickly got up to salute, "I've seen my mentor."

Qin Feng waved his hand and said indifferently: "There are not so many rules here as a teacher. Besides, respect is a matter of heart. If I am worthy of your respect, you will respect me even without these red tapes. But if I am a Bastard, even if you pay homage to worship every day, I’m afraid you still want to kill me immediately.”

"Isn't this the same thing for the emperors of all dynasties?"

After talking about this, Qin Feng suddenly changed the subject and said, "Did you learn anything in the past three days?"

Wei Zheng pondered for a moment, he knew in his heart that what Qin Feng asked him was definitely not such simple things as learning how to cut grass and knock on the wall of a pit.

"The teacher wants to tell the disciples that they know the etiquette when they are honest, and they know the honor and disgrace when they have enough food and clothing?"

A gratified smile appeared on Qin Feng's face. The effect of this kind of education is much more useful than reading a few sentences of books.

"How do you feel during this time?"

Qin Feng and Wei Zheng stood beside the big pit, watching farmers fill in pigweed, then cover it with film, and finally seal it with soil, waiting for fermentation.

Wei Zheng said excitedly: "Men, it turns out that getting along with people is also knowledge, handling crops is also knowledge, and even how to organize people to work faster is also knowledge."

"That's right." Qin Feng nodded and said: "The knowledge of the world is knowledge, and the understanding of human feelings is the article. Everything in this world, what is not knowledge, why do you have to die in books?"

"Being a teacher does not mean that the words of the sage are not good, but that is the knowledge of the sage, not yours. And the sage is not just sitting at home and dropping knowledge out of thin air, do you understand?"

Wei Zheng said with a look of admiration: "The disciple is taught, and the teacher doesn't like to study, but he speaks well. He is indeed a great talent, and the disciple is not as good as him."

Qin Feng's smug face just now suddenly became bitter. He quickly looked around and was relieved to find that Qin Hua was not by his side.

Why can't my mother control my mouth?

It's okay to pretend to be coercive, it's good to be a dude, but if it spreads, it will be a lot of trouble.

Qin Feng quickly changed the subject and said: "I don't know what your future will be like as a teacher, but according to Yang Ying, the imperial court intends to select scholars based on their talents, so you may not have the opportunity to become an official again."

"But to be an official, it's not enough to be a tyrant. You also need to understand the thoughts of these people, know what they care about, what they like, and what they hate."

"In this way, when you are governing, you will be able to do your job with ease, and you will not be coaxed by others, and you will no longer be a clay doll like the Bodhisattva in the temple."

Wei Zheng's heart moved, and he asked: "Men, if the imperial court really selects scholars based on their talents, then you..."

"Me?" Qin Feng stretched his waist, and said with some disdain: "What's so good about being an official? I'm busy every day, and I may not be able to leave a good reputation. In my teacher's opinion, today's life is only satisfying. , Wake up whenever you want, and eat whatever you want. Find some work for yourself when you are free, and rest when you are tired. On this day, even if you bring the emperor, you will not change it as a teacher."

"You are different from being a teacher. You have your ambitions, you have your own path to go, you have chosen it, and go on. As a teacher, you may have to rely on you in the future. Don't pretend that you don't know each other. To be a teacher is."

Wei Zheng knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said repeatedly: "I dare not or forget my mentor's great kindness and virtue. No matter what happens in the future, a mentor is a mentor. If there is such a day, the disciple will still be like today, listening to the teacher's teachings." .”

"What are you doing?" Qin Feng pulled Wei Zheng up, stretched out his hand to pat the dirt off his pants, and said with a smile, "You think too much, go on step by step, as a teacher, I am looking forward to you How far can we go?"

"If you're tired, then come back. As a teacher, there will be a place for you in the Qin Family Manor."

Regardless of Wei Zheng behind him, Qin Feng strode away, looking extremely free and easy, but full of pride in his heart.

This time, did he completely hug Wei Zheng's thigh?

Master, I'm so fucking smart!

Chapter 31 The Sneaky

Qin Hua and Qin Lang went out, Qin Family Manor had a lot of expenses recently, Qin Feng's money was dumped, he had no choice but to take out a few more small mirrors and entrust Qin Hua to sell them in Daxing City.

In fact, Qin Feng also wanted to go with him, but no matter whether Liu Wanting, Qin Hua, or Qin Lang refused, it was a lowly business to say that it was a merchant, how could the young master of the Qin family go there in person?

In desperation, Qin Feng had no choice but to give up seeing Daxing, the capital city of the Sui Dynasty, thinking about going again in the future.

Qinjiazhuang is not far from Daxing City, a total distance of 27 miles, so although Qinjiazhuang only has a mule cart, Qin Hua and Qin Lang entered the city before lunch.

As the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, Daxing City can't be said to be the most prosperous in the world, but it is definitely countable, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, can be compared with Daxing.In addition, as the starting point of the Silk Road, Daxing City gathered countless merchants from various countries in the Western Regions, and even Kunlun slaves existed, which seemed extremely lively.

The people in Daxing City are also well-informed, and they don't care about these foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes, tall eyes and eagle noses, or dark bodies, and they are busy with their own livelihoods.

When the later generation Bai Juyi first arrived in Chang'an, he took his poems to visit Gu Kuang, a famous scholar. When Gu Kuang saw Bai Juyi's name, he joked that Chang'an was expensive and it was not easy to live in.Although the Great Sui has not been established for two years now, and Daxing is not as good as the later Chang'an, it is not an easy matter to live in Daxing City.

Turning a blind eye to the hurrying pedestrians, Qin Hua walked into a jewelry store with a burden on his back.

"Treasurer Qian, it's been a long time."

Sitting behind the counter, the slightly affluent middle-aged man raised his head when he heard the words, and after seeing who was coming, he said with a surprised face: "Brother Qin, you really made me wait."

The shopkeeper Qian's words surprised the customers in the store. Although Longyang is not a particularly rare thing these days, the combination of a middle-aged fat fat man and a thin middle-aged old man makes people feel weird.

Qin Hua felt a chill, and hurriedly said, "I'm afraid the treasurer Qian is not waiting for me, but waiting for something?"

Boss Qian was full of smiles, every piece of fat on his face seemed to be trembling, he got up quickly, let Qin Hua to the backyard, and said, "Brother Qin, you don't know, the two small boxes I bought last time It has been sold, and the nobles like it very much. This time, I will raise the price for you, 400 taels a piece, how many brothers will you charge, how about it?"

Qin Hua was taken aback. He never expected that the cashier would raise the price on his own initiative. Didn't it mean that merchants are extremely treacherous?

How did Qin Hua know that last time the two small mirrors were sold to two noble ladies by the money shopkeeper, and the price doubled even more.Even so, after the two ladies who bought mirrors took out the mirrors to show off at the party, they still aroused the envy, jealousy and hatred of countless ladies.

Due to the influence of Hu Feng, the status of women in the Sui Dynasty was generally very high, which led to countless unlucky people with the titles of marquis and duke to come to hear about the little mirror.

Shopkeeper Qian was delighted that his small shop was an instant hit, and he was well-known throughout Daxing City, but Qin Hua stopped after selling the two mirrors, without leaving any contact information.This made shopkeeper Qian look forward to the stars and the moon every day, waiting for this guy who refused to supply in large quantities, so he almost tied a villain and cursed him.

It's not that Shopkeeper Qian hasn't inquired about it in private, but no matter whether it is a Da Sui merchant or a Hu merchant, no one can produce goods of the same quality, so he took the initiative to raise the price to keep Qin Hua's cornucopia. Things went to other stores, where did he cry?

The fragrant tea was served, and the snacks were arranged. Shopkeeper Qian approached him with his big face, staring greedily at Qin Hua's baggage, and said flatteringly, "Brother Qin, do you know if there are any goods available today?"

Qin Hua was sitting on the chair, and behind him stood Qin Hua holding a knife. He carefully unwrapped his bundle, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Master Qian, you also know that we don't produce this stuff in the Sui Dynasty, but it's from a small country in the Western Regions." It's hard to get a special product, so I still only have two here today."

Being able to stay in the hands of officials like Qin's family for nearly 20 years, and even work as a book boy for Qin Yi, Qin Hua is naturally not a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, and he understands the truth that rare things are more expensive than anyone else.

"Hey, my good brother, can't you go in a little more?"

Shopkeeper Qian complained, but his eyes could not move away from the two rather delicate boxes. After obtaining Qin Hua's consent, he immediately picked up the two boxes carefully and began to inspect them.

When he saw his rich face in the mirror, he couldn't help complaining: "Brother Qin, this thing of yours has become famous in our Daxing City this month, and countless noble people have come to inquire about it, so we can discuss the price." , how much do you have, how much does the little brother charge, how?"

Qin Hua sneered in his heart, this kind of method is just a countryman who has no experience, and wants to play tricks on your grandpa Qin, you are still young.

Qin Hua really didn't expect this item to be so popular, but the eagerness shown by Shopkeeper Qian couldn't hide it from him.The most important thing is, don't look at the shopkeeper Qian saying that the price is negotiable, but he is actually testing his stock of this thing.Even shopkeeper Qian may not have the idea of ​​killing people to obtain the production method.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. Shopkeeper Qian has asked many Hu merchants, but this thing has never appeared in the Western Regions. Then Qin Hua's words are very debatable. Although it is hard to believe, after Shopkeeper Qian ruled out most possibilities, some With [-]% to [-]% certainty, it can be concluded that this thing is the handwriting of Qin Hua, or the person behind Qin Hua.

If I can get the method to make this thing, wouldn't it be as much money as Baihuahua?

Qin Hua was unmoved and said: "Master Qian, this is what a strong man can do. You also know the situation in the Western Regions. It is extremely chaotic. There are many small countries that are not close to us, let alone horse thieves blocking the road. It’s hard to do, and the price to pay for these two small boxes is really not small.”

"Forget it." Shopkeeper Qian gritted his teeth and said, "400 taels, I want both, so I'll give Brother Qin the money."
