I was a gentleman in ancient times

Zhishu Pavilion's paper supply is in short supply, and there is an endless stream of scholars who come to buy it every day. This is the only one in the entire Yingyang City, and there is no other semicolon.

As for the books sold on the first day, I have never seen them again since then.There are still people who can't forget it and ask when they can have it again, but the buddy can only shirk and don't know.

At first, I was reluctant to buy "Thousand Characters", but after I bought it back, I realized that this booklet is really good, simple and catchy, very suitable for children to learn to read.

It's a pity that they didn't know it was sold until they came over again and wanted to buy it again.After the rumors spread, many people were curious about what kind of book "Thousand Characters" is. It's a pity, why didn't it sell?

Cui Xuan was proud now, "Let me just say, how dare this old fox, Tao Sui, have the guts to go against us. He wasn't very stubborn at first, but now? Hehe, that's all."

"I don't think this matter is easy." Xie Pu shook his head, disapproving of his words, "Patriarch Tao doesn't seem like someone who can make decisions."

Xie Pu's rebuttal made Cui Xuan quite dissatisfied, and retorted: "But look, don't the Tao family dare to sell books anymore?"

Xie Pu touched his chin, "I always feel that there is something wrong here. I always feel that I am at a disadvantage, but I can't tell what is wrong."

I have to say that Xie Pu's intuition is quite accurate, but in fact this is just Wei Su's strategy.

At the beginning, they focused their attention on the books sold, and their defense against paper was naturally reduced.The paper resistance that Weisu and the others mainly promote will be much smaller.In contrast, books are related to the interests of their aristocratic family, while paper is dispensable.Wei Su's promotion of selling books is just his tentacles. If there is something wrong, they will take it back immediately, and there is no loss, right?

The smooth implementation of the paper proves that Wei Su's plan is very successful. By the time the aristocrats of the aristocratic family realize it, it is too late, and there is nothing they can do to stop it.

That's why Xie Pu had such an unpredictable feeling, Wang Nu smiled wryly and shook his head when he heard this, even if he saw it, what could he do?It is impossible for them to prevent both, and the two powers benefit from each other, whichever is more important, there is no way.

But Wang Zou didn't point it out, "That's the end of the matter. Since the Tao family has stopped and he can't make any big waves, we don't care about him."

Xie Pu nodded in agreement, but Cui Xuan was still filled with righteous indignation, but since the other two had reached an agreement, he didn't dare to say anything, and could only swallow his complaints.

Wei Su is still very leisurely, giving lectures in the academy, and occasionally discussing with gentlemen, or insisting on his own views and blowing their beards and staring at them, or using fallacies to make these people shut themselves off.

For a long time, when Mr. Xuegong saw Wei Su, he walked around far away, which made Wei Su a little depressed. Actually, he is not that scary.

These old gentlemen stick to their feet and refuse to listen to their advice. They are really old and stubborn.But playing against them is very interesting, Wei Su is a lot of fun.

Except for Duanmu Song, Duanmu Song came to the door every time by himself. He seldom talked on weekdays, but when he talked about Mohist theories and tricks, he would talk endlessly.Wei Su was often at a loss when he heard it, but he really has a specialization in art, and he, a layman who knows nothing, is no match for him.After a few more times, Wei Su could only avoid seeing him. He finally understood the difficulties of those who ran away when they saw him.

The flash of his thoughts that day had long been forgotten, he comforted himself that the time was not yet ripe, and he could not change anything by himself.That being the case, it is useless to think too much, so why bother yourself.

After Ruan Ji was caught fighting by Wei Su, he did not escape punishment. After two months of detention, he came out again as a good man.Originally, he wanted to cause Wei Su some trouble, to make trouble for Wei Su's lectures.

snort!There are pheasants (chickens) and rabbits in the same cage, with 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom.Ask about the geometry of the pheasants and rabbits?Note ① What is the problem? Can it be difficult to get him Ruan Ji?

Immediately beckoned and asked the servants to go out to catch chickens and rabbits. He didn't need to count at all, just let the number of people be counted, wouldn't it be enough?Look at these idiots, frowning and biting their pens, thinking hard.

Wei Su was speechless, if it was like this, would he still need to teach?Ruan Ji's thinking is unacceptable. If it were his own child, he would have been beaten by hand.Who is Ke Weisu?This is not convincing. Ruan Ji, a second-year middle school boy, has eight hundred even if he has never seen one thousand. How could he be helpless.

All right, you can ask your servants to do this kind of problem, then ask a math problem that others can't solve, and see if you can ask others to help.

How could Ruan Ji beat Wei Su? If he didn't come to listen to Wei Su's lecture, Wei Su wouldn't care about him.But since he came to Wei Su's class, he was his student, and Wei Su had to be responsible to him.Then you have to be treated strictly according to the rules, you should be criticized, you should be beaten, and you will not be treated specially because of your status.

And Ruan Ji was used to being domineering since he was a child, and others did what he wanted, so how dare someone treat him like this?For a while, he was abused to the point where his body was completely bruised, and he was shocked to the point of doubting his life.Always thinking of turning things around, Wei Su couldn't help admiring his courage after repeated defeats.Later, he got used to it, and one day without Wei Su's beating, he felt uncomfortable.

But except for Ruan Ji, everyone else is fine, and now there are stable students who are interested in Wei Su's lectures, and they are quite talented, which makes Wei Su feel very relieved.After all, one's own theory can influence more people, and passing it on is something to be proud of.

Holding a book in his hand, Qin Zhan excitedly went to Wei Su's house.In the past few months, under the influence of Wei Su, he finally recovered a little bit of his youthful nature, not as gloomy and indifferent as before.Even Xun Qi said that he only looks like a human being now, if it wasn't for their friendship since childhood, he really thought he had changed.

"Hey! Wang Zizhan, you are here." Zhou Cheng, who was arranging flowers and plants, greeted with a smile.

"Uncle Zhou, is sir at home?" Qin Zhan nodded and asked.

Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Jijiu came over earlier, and now he is drinking tea in the front hall."

Huangfu Yong is completely captured by tea now, since he was touched by the fried tea sent by Wei Su, he is not interested in the tea soup he loved before at all.In fact, Wei Su's tea has become popular in the academy. It is simple yet flavorful, and has a unique taste. Many people fall in love with it after tasting it once.

And Huangfu Yong would come to Wei Su to study the tea ceremony every now and then, and it is said that he really made a name for himself.

So when Qin Zhan heard that Mr. Huangfu was there, he didn't take it seriously. He had seen him many times, so it didn't hinder him. He went straight to the front hall to find Wei Su.

He has been familiar with the way for a long time, and Qin Zhan can find it even with his eyes closed.

When he first arrived at the front hall, he saw the door was closed tightly. He felt strange, normally he would not close the door even when he saw visitors, so why did it close today?

However, he didn't think too much about it, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider, so he took two steps forward and wanted to open the door.As soon as he stretched out his hand, he faintly heard voices coming from the door.

"The trend of the world, the long-term division must be united, the long-term union must be divided, and the world has been in chaos for too long." Wei Su's voice came, and Qin Zhan was startled, and the hand that pushed the door suddenly stopped.

Then Mr. Huangfu's voice sounded, "That's right, the world is in chaos, and the people are suffering, just as you said, the people are suffering."

After being silent for a while, Mr. Huangfu said again: "If you say this, is there a good way to rule the world?"

Qin Zhan's heart trembled. Originally, he was thinking of eavesdropping on someone's conversation. It was not a gentleman's doing. He was planning to leave, but at this time he couldn't move his feet no matter what.He also wanted to know if Mr. Wei really had any way to rule the world.

Wei Su smiled wryly, "Is there any good way to rule the world? It's just a foolish opinion."

Huangfu Yong leaned over, "I would like to hear the details."

Wei Su waved his hand, "It's nothing, right now all the countries stand side by side, it's just a bunch of kids. If you hit me today, I'll hit you tomorrow. It's not worth fighting for territory and population."

Huangfu Yong shook his head, and smiled helplessly. What Wei Su said was simple and easy to understand, and what he said was not rough, but it was the same reason.

"So, if you want to keep the world in order, then support a capable person and beat these children into obedience. If you subdue them and unify them, you will be able to govern a country with peace of mind in the future. , the same system of degrees, the same track of cars, the same writing of books, and the same way of doing things, the people are supported by the old, educated by the young, supported by the poor, and helped by the difficult, and all are supported by the widows, widows, lonely, disabled and sick. Dazhi also."

Qin Zhan's heart was surging outside the door. As Wei Su said, he never thought that it could be like this?In the past, he was only confined to the small area of ​​Xiqin, but now his eyes suddenly opened up.Mr. Wei always talks about the pattern, this is the real pattern with the world in mind!

Looking around, isn't the world today just like what Mr. Wei said?At this moment, he seemed to have found his purpose.

Huangfu Yong clapped his hands again and again and praised, "Although that's the case, does such a prosperous age really exist?"

Wei Su smiled: "Why not? As long as everyone does their best and works as one, I believe it will not be difficult to achieve."

Huangfu Yong sighed, imagining the scene of the prosperous age, what a pity!I don't know if I can see this day.

"In your opinion, what are the capable people in today's world?" Huangfu Yong asked, stroking his beard.

Wei Su shook his head, and then Huangfu Yong continued: "Now that the Lou Kingdom is very powerful, many people with lofty ideals go to the Lou Kingdom in order to advance to the next level. The King of the Lou Kingdom has extraordinary strength and strength. What do you think?"

"However, a self-willed person is not enough to entrust." Wei Su said truthfully.This kind of person insists on going his own way and rarely listens to other people's opinions. Obviously, he is not optimistic about Lord Lou.

He has already understood the situation of the various princely states today, so it is easy to discuss these.

Huangfu Yong thought for a while, "Where's the king of Bei? He is a virtuous corporal, and the world thinks highly of him."

"This person is indecisive, more than conservative, not enough to expand."

The two people mentioned by Huangfu Yong are relatively big forces at present, and the rest of the small countries are looking up to them.But Wei Su even denied these two, who else in the world can do it?

He was also a little curious, wanting to know Wei Su's views on the various princes and monarchs, so he almost talked about all the countries.Wei Su also analyzed them one by one, but none of them were enough to accomplish anything.

"There is still a land of Western Qin in the western frontier, so what about its monarch?" Huangfu Yong asked with a smile.

He also meant it as a joke, Weisu from other countries couldn't see it, how could he hope for this small and tiny land on the western frontier, where the country is weak and the people are weak.

Qin Zhan outside the door was shocked when he heard the word Xiqin. He didn't need to look to know what Wei Su's evaluation of Xiqin would be like, but there was still hope in his heart.

Wei Su had already burst out laughing, "Mr. Huangfu will be joking too. I didn't take the Western Qin Kingdom into consideration at all."

Just one sentence made Qin Zhan feel disheartened. It turned out that Mr. Wei didn't pay attention to the West Qin Kingdom at all.It turns out that I am nothing.

He couldn't hear the laughter of the people in the room at all, and walked out in a daze.Zhou Cheng was a little surprised to see him come out. Every time Wang Zizhan left, he was reluctant to leave. Why did he come out so quickly today?

Before he could ask, Qin Zhan forced a smile on his pale face, "I forgot to bring what my husband asked for, so I'll go back and get it now, don't tell me about it."

Zhou Cheng thought that the young man was thin-skinned and unwilling to show off, so he nodded in agreement.They didn't notice Qin Zhan's disordered steps either.

The two Wei and Su over there didn't notice anything unusual at all. After laughing, they continued: "The king of Western Qin is stupid, and the princes under him have no talents to make. It's very difficult." The most important thing is these things now. People don't have a big picture view at all. If you want to cultivate a person with a big picture view, it will take time and effort, not to mention, and you don't know how the future will change.

When Wei Su said this, Huangfu Yong was not surprised, "Then, if all the monarchs and countries can meet your requirements, and you are asked to choose one to help, which country would you choose?"

It depends on the topography of each country, as well as humanities and economic conditions, which include many things.

Wei Su got up, and when he came out after a while, there was an extra roll in his hand.

Wei Su spread it on the table, Huangfu Yong looked over curiously, the lines on it were zigzag, and he didn't know what was drawn.

"what is this?"

Wei Su explained: "This is a map. I asked students from various places in the academy, dictated it, and then drew it according to the drawing. There may be deviations, but in general it is almost enough." In fact, he did not To be honest, many things were also made according to the maps in the memory of later generations and compared with their narrations.Fortunately, the terrain of this world is similar to the world he is familiar with, so it was possible to make such a portion with half the effort.

"Map? What is it?" Huangfu Yong had never heard of it.

Wei Su gave a simple explanation, which surprised Huangfu Yong. It turned out that this was possible. "In this way, wouldn't the whole world appear before us?"

"It's about the same. Of course, there must be many inaccuracies, which may need to be revised." Wei Su nodded.

Even though Wei Su said so, Huangfu Yong was also awe-inspiring, it was already a genius to think of such a thing.

Wei Su stopped discussing this and changed the subject. He pointed to a place on the map, "Master Jijiu, please look. This is Yingyang City, the center of the entire map."

Huangfu Yong leaned over to look over, followed Wei Su's fingers to find a palm-sized spot, then nodded to indicate that he knew.

Then Wei Su pointed out all the countries, and Huangfu Yong also saw Lou Country, You Country, Bei Country, Zou Country along the way... He only knew which country was in which direction in general before, but he didn't have the intuition in front of him.Now when I see the map, I can see at a glance which place is where, where it is near, and how far it is from them, and I can analyze it in my heart at once.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Huangfu Yong admired endlessly, already thinking in his mind how to make Wei Su give up.

Of course Wei Su didn't know Huangfu Yong's thoughts at this time, and analyzed: "The Lou Kingdom is the most powerful, occupying the rich and prosperous Central Plains, and occupying the largest territory. Its regional economy is developed. The Bei Kingdom occupies the south, and its regional water system is developed. Of course, the territory is not small, and the other countries are scattered, dividing up the entire Central Plains."

Wei Su paused, and his eyes fell to the west, which is not half the size of other small countries.He paused here with his fingers, pondered for a moment and said, "Only the land of West Qin, Su values ​​very much."

"What?" Huangfu Yong couldn't believe it, "You actually chose the land of West Qin!"
