In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

The white-clothed scholar on the high platform heard the shabby man's words clearly saying that you people only know how to talk high-spirited, which is of no practical use at all, so they couldn't hold back on their faces, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Listen to what you say, Mr. Do you want to be an official?"

The shabby man said: "I just want to be an official."

The white-clothed scholar said: "Mr. wants to be an official, why is he dressed in such shabby clothes now? Jixia supports scholars with a doctor's salary. Don't tell me you don't have money to buy decent clothes."

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter, this humble scholar spoke arrogantly, and everyone was a little bit uncomfortable with it. At this time, he was run on and ridiculed by the white-clothed scholar, and everyone followed suit.

The shabby man was not angry, he just nodded at the laughing crowd and said, "Summer insects can't talk about ice."

At this time, Xia Yu whispered a few words to the Jixia official next to him, and the little official walked quickly to the poor man's table, saluted, and said, "This gentleman, the chief of the Jixia school Gong Xiayu, Shaobao, would like to ask Mr. to explain to you."

The shabby man looked up at Xia Yu's position, smiled generously, got up and followed the officials to the side hall. Seeing that the man had accepted the invitation, Xia Yu was very happy to get out of the debate hall, and also got up Walk towards the side hall.

In an instant, the shabby man received the attention of the entire hall, and that kind of attention can be described in the words of Xia Yu's time and space—envy, jealousy and hatred.

The shabby man went into the generational house where the ceremonies took a nap while eating, and saw the youngest Qingjue Shaobao in the temple of Qi State sitting behind the desk, looking at him, bowing and saying: "I don't know how to recruit the young Baobao!" Why come here?"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "You are welcome, sir, please sit down."

This shabby man is really courageous. At this time, Xia Yu is a high-ranking nobleman, and this shabby man is just an unknown scholar who has just joined the Jixia Academy. Xia Yu told him not to be polite, so he really You're welcome, and immediately sat across from Xia Yu.

The few little officials in Jixia who were accompanying them were a little bit annoyed, Xia Yu didn't care about these etiquette things, smiled, and said: "Just now I heard that Mr. However, I don’t know what kind of official you want to be, and if you become the official you want to be, what can you do.”

The shabby man said: "It's just a mere lack of talent. If you want to be the leader of one party, or the prime minister of a country, you can be suitable for the post."

The little official who was accompanying him burst out laughing, and said sarcastically, "Sir, you are not very humble."

The shabby man smiled and said: "There is only self-knowledge. If it is about warfare, I don't know anything about it. But if it is about managing people's livelihood and financial management, I have some insights. I know my strengths and weaknesses, but to be blunt, I pretend to be modest." State, mere disdain for it."

Xia Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the shabby man's somewhat "disrespectful" remarks, and said, "Since Mr. thinks he has the ability to manage people's livelihood, why don't you tell me how you can manage people's livelihood."

The shabby man said: "If I am in charge of a party, the first thing must be to rectify the administration of officials. You must know that everything is people-oriented. If the administration of officials is not clear and the execution is not human, no matter what kind of good laws and regulations are bound to be either unable to be implemented or executed out of order. Those who are in charge, clarifying the management of officials should be the first priority, and the second is to measure the land. It should be known that the land is rich and thin, and the yield is rich and simple. Regardless of this point, the current taxation is the same, so that the rich families occupy more fertile fields. Profit, but the people of Shengdou mostly suffer; the third is to clear up trade routes..."

The shabby man was eloquent, Xia Yu also listened carefully, nodding from time to time, until the man finished speaking, he looked up at the man for a while, then smiled and said, "I don't know Mr. Gao's name."

The shabby man smiled, and said, "I'm Li Jia, an unknown soldier, you must have never heard of Shaobao?"

Xia Yu thought about it, and said: "Sir, you want to be the head of one party, but do you want to be the head of the house?"

The shabby man who claimed to be Li Jia said: "If the minister of another country wants to make me the head of his retainers, he may consider it. If the minister of Qi wants to make me the head of his family, he is not competent at all."

Xia Yu frowned and said, "Why can't Qi Guogong?"

Li Jia said: "If it is another country, there are still ministers with different surnames who are in power. Besides Tian, ​​how many ministers with different surnames are there in Qi State? However, they dare not trust people with foreign surnames at all. It is no wonder that the Jiang family reused the Tian family so that the current state power was stolen by his family, and the Tian family stole the Jiang family's position, so naturally they are also afraid of other clans like themselves against the Jiang family Treat yourself the same way, so if you look at the whole court of the Qi State, all the important positions and positions are all the children of the Tian family, so you can know that this mere person with a foreign surname will hardly have a bright future in the Qi State." Speaking here, Li Jia paused for a moment, looked at Xia Yu, and said, "Shaobao's great contribution to retreating and breaking through, and the battle is not over yet, so don't throw it here as a court order."

Xia Yu was not at all annoyed at Li Jia's slightly teasing words about her, but laughed loudly and said, "You really have the guts to say something about Tian's so openly, do you know that you live and sleep now?" This Jixia Academy was proposed by the Tian family."

Li Jiadao: "The Tian family set up this 'Jixia Academy', and publicly stated that in the past, the scholars used the doctor's salary to support them when they fought against various schools of thought here. I mean, it’s because I’m only here at Jixia Academy that I dare to speak out, because the Tian family will never ruin my reputation as a virtuous and corporal just because of me.”

Xia Yu laughed so hard that she couldn't speak, nodded Li Jia, and said: "Sir, you are really cunning." After laughing, she said, "Sir, you don't want to be the head of the family, and you say that you have no hope of getting ahead in Qi, why are you still here?" Why do you want to waste time in this Jixia Academy if you can’t stay in Qi State?”

Li Jia said: "I came to Qi State not to seek an official in Qi State, but to see Shaobao you."

Xia Yu asked suspiciously, "Sir, do you want to see me?"

Li Jia nodded, and said: "I want to see what the legendary general Tian Zongliang looks like after he retired from the Jin Dynasty and lost the Yue Dynasty?"

Xia Yu murmured in his heart when he heard the phrase "in the legend", thinking to himself—how could I still become a legendary figure, and said, "Sir, I have seen it now, but I am disappointed?"

Li Jia just smiled and said nothing.

Xia Yu said, "Mister, why are you laughing?"

Li Jiadao: "Although I have heard a lot of rumors that you are peerless, Shaobao, but I was shocked when I saw it, and I couldn't help but think again, what kind of appearance will the person you accompany in the future, Shaobao, be able to match with you."

Xia Yu was glad that she didn't drink any more at this time, otherwise she would have sprayed Li Jia, who was sitting opposite, all over her face in shock.

At this time, a person dressed completely differently from the Jixia Academy's senior officials hurried in, approached Xia Yu's side, whispered something in Xia Yu's ear, Xia Yu nodded slightly, and then waved his hand Let the person who obviously came to pass the message back, and then turned to Li Jia and said: "It seems that Mister will not stay in Qi State for a long time."

Li Jia said: "There is no opportunity for someone with a foreign surname to stand out in Qi State, so naturally I won't stay for long."

Xia Yu smiled slightly, raised his glass to respect Li Jia, and said, "Since that's the case, I will respect my gentleman with this wine and wine, which can be regarded as practicing for him."

Someone serving the food and drink had already served Li Jia drinks, and Li Jia also picked up the wine bar in front of him, saying: "Please keep your temper."

The young man said: "When we meet in the rivers and lakes, we will say goodbye day and night. It's a joy. Let's do it first as a respect."

Li Jia and Xia Yu had a very happy chat, seeing Xia Yu's boldness, he also laughed loudly, raised his glass and drank all the wine in the glass

After saying goodbye to Li Jia, Xia Yu left the Jixia Academy, got into her carriage, and ordered the driver to go to the Grand Master's residence, but it turned out that the person who was not dressed in the same clothes as the Jixia palace officials to deliver the letter was the Grand Master. The servant in the mansion only said that Xia Yu had to go to the Grand Master's Mansion for something important, but he didn't say what it was.

But Xia Yu soon found out, because as soon as he stepped into Tian Biao's study in the Grand Master's Mansion, he saw Tian Zhi in the study, pacing back and forth in a very rude manner, restless. Flowed down, bowed and saluted, and said: "Ayu, please save Shu'er."
