Chapter 91 Marketing
Lu Jiuyuan shouted:
"Just just now, the mountain commander sent someone to make it clear that this visit was not just Mr. Yangming and I, but also several great scholars, would be together. We were invited by the Wude Academy to discuss Taoism and discuss scriptures with him. The mountain commander has already agreed. How could you do such a young child? Why don't you get on the horse and lead the way quickly?"
At this time, Lin Fengjin thought for a moment and knew that such a move was clearly the academy that he wanted to stand on his side!! He was shocked, but what else could he say, wiped away the tears from his face, and then quickly whipped his horse and ran away in front of his head.
***
The visit of the Hongru from Donglin Academy is indeed a big event for Wude Academy. All matters must be perfect and perfect!
Because to put it in small ways, if you don’t receive well, unless you don’t deal with the world’s No. 1 academy in the future, if you owe something to do with food, clothing, housing and transportation, then if you visit Donglin academy in the future, then maybe they will pay it back.
To put it bluntly, Wude Academy is also one of the four major academies in the world, and I don’t know how many eyes are staring at you. If your academy cannot even do a good job of hospitality and acceptance, it will immediately become a laughing stock in the world. In this case, those who have no intention or not will stand up and sneer and accuse them, which will greatly reduce the reputation of Wude Academy.
Therefore, no matter how deep the friction between Wude Academy and Donglin Academy is, or how many differences are secretly divided, the superficial skill must be done well, otherwise, it will be a big loss of identity.
Because of this, Lin Fengjin was most worried about two things: the search of the prince who had ascended the throne and the secret pursuit of the Wude Academy were easily revealed. No one dared to be rude to the group of visiting scholars of Donglin Academy. The treatment they received was even more solemn than the envoys of Northern Qi. After all, at this time, one-sixth of the officials in the Zhongtang Dynasty came from the disciples of Donglin Academy, and their feelings could not be ignored.
Along the way, this convoy formed by Donglin Academy traveled through the county and the prefectures, and there were even many people who came to visit him along the way, because both Mr. Jiuyuan and Mr. Yangming were famous scholars all over the world! Especially in recent years, under the influence of Lin Fengjin's subtle hype, how could people in this era have seen Lin Fengjin's propaganda techniques from later generations? So the effect is excellent.
In addition, the Lin family's caravans are spread all over the world and have many channels. As a disciple, he advocates for his teacher. Even if someone has seen through the secrets, others think that this is a rare virtue of Lin Fengjin as a disciple. It is natural that it is wrong not to advocate it. Therefore, the reputation of Lu Jiuyuan and Wang Yangming at this time was even above the other great scholars.
At this time, the two of them had a great reputation. Lu Jiuyuan entered the Tao with his sword, and there were vague calls for the world's number one sword. You must know that the word "the fourth word in the world is so easy to be labeled as "the fourth word in the world"? It represents immortal achievements. Mr. Yangming originally had the call for "the great sage" in his early years. Now, not only has the title of "the great sage", but someone has also proposed to add a son to Wang Yangming's title!
In all dynasties, those who can add "Zi" to their titles are saints who appear every five hundred years, such as Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi.... In fact, this is to say that Wang Yangming's achievements are even comparable to those of his ancestors, which really elevates Wang Yangming's identity to an extremely high level!
Facing these enthusiastic visitors, it is obviously impossible for everyone to see them. However, as the world's number one Donglin Academy has formed a series of relevant regulations. How to receive them makes people feel enthusiastic but not negligent, which makes the people who see them flatter. Although the people who come from all the way cannot see the deity, they are also grateful. They all have a fixed method and do not need to worry about it. However, it does not prevent Lin Fengjin from taking out his own money to add some improvements and so on.
For example, when Mr. Jiuyuan saw someone, he chose a quiet room that was cleaned very cleanly and finely. Then he did not speak, and there was a seven-character couplet next to it, saying, "Silence is better than sound at this time", burning incense and closing his eyes to meditate.
In this powerful atmosphere, the person who came in to pay homage was naturally as nervous as he worshiped the gods, and then he would invite someone to drink a cup of fragrant tea. People with low cultivation would naturally be brought into the illusion by the sword intent emitted by Lu Jiuyuan who had closed their eyes and honed their heart sword. It seemed that after a long battle and killing, they could not bear it and take the initiative to say goodbye as soon as the cup of tea arrived.
In this case, a quiet room can receive at least ten people, which will not affect Lu Jiuyuan's own cultivation. The people who are received will not think that Lu Jiuyuan is too arrogant, but will think that the world's number one sword should be this style!
When he left in the end, Lin Fengjin would smile and give a set of exquisite four treasures of the study, with the words "Donglin afterglow" written on it. The workmanship is also particularly fine and the materials are extremely exquisite. It is like a handicraft that makes people love it, and it is not a common thing. Of course, the gift given was sponsored by Lin Fengjin. His family has a great career and is not short of tens of thousands of taels of silver that can be spent on customizing these four treasures of the study.
In this way, the students who were received gained face and inner thoughts, and they truly met Mr. Jiuyuan and appreciated his magical sword intent. What else can I say? Even the feeling of entering the illusion after being influenced is the capital of my boastfulness, and it must be where I pass, and praise is like a wave of praise.
As we walked along this way, not to mention Mr. Yangming and Lu Jiuyuan, even the great scholars who accompanied Min Zhen, Zhou Dunyi, and Zhang Tang, the representative of the mountain chief Dong Zhongshu, also felt the real benefits. After a trip, there was a surging crowd everywhere, and welcoming each other. It is estimated that the reputation of Donglin Academy can increase by at least 10% or 20% compared to before, not to mention the reputation gained by all the great scholars.
Therefore, Zhang Tang thought about it carefully and then asked Lin Fengjin. After learning that his mother's condition could be supported for at least half a year, he decided to slow down his itinerary and expected that the journey would be extended to two months in one month----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the extra month of delay, Lin Fengjin didn't care. If he got the medicine, it would only take fifteen days to rush back to Yedu, Northern Qi. Even if he had to walk two months, he would have enough time to get the antidote and go back alone.
As the people from Donglin Academy traveled to the county and the prefecture, they passed by like this, and the local local officials did not dare to neglect them at all. They all paid homage to each other and were very respectful. Because if they were not careful in this regard, they might be criticized and scolded by scholars all over the world!
If an official has no reputation, even if he is appreciated by the superiors, he will be a bad reputation of being cruel, flattering, disrespectful, etc., because he has been paid for money and all the scholars in the world say this. If nothing unexpected happens, they will write future historical books, which will be infamous for thousands of years and will cause their descendants to suffer!
As for Lin Fengjin, a wanted criminal in the middle Tang Dynasty, naturally no one was willing to take the blame for the world, because it was very simple. If Lin Fengjin was arrested, the people in the academy would definitely not sit idly by and the two sides would have a conflict. Well, people may not be able to catch him this time, but this reputation will inevitably be destroyed. What's more, Lin Fengjin's wealth in Xijing has long been divided up, and there is no substantial benefit in arresting him, and no one knows the relationship between Li Jian's death and Lin Fengjin, so they turned a blind eye.
When the convoy of Donglin Academy came to Xijing, the sensational effect was caused, even Wen Junzhi, the prime minister of the Central Tang Dynasty, could not be ignored. Strictly speaking, although he was from the ancestral school, he was among the Confucian school when he was literate, so he was considered Wang Yangming's junior. Therefore, the welcome ceremony was particularly grand. The prime minister went out to welcome and patrol the streets, which was even more grand than the visit of the country's envoys.
After a series of tedious rituals, we went to the Five Destiny Phoenix Platform in the city, and the other great scholars Zhou Dunyi and others who accompanied us were fine, but Lu Jiuyuan and Wang Yangming came together, which was enough to make Guo Pu interrupt his seclusion and come forward to receive him personally.
Speaking of which, although this Phoenix Platform was built in the world of the capital of Xijing, this country, after Guo Pu’s wonderful arrangement, everyone stayed here for a while, and felt that the spiritual energy of the world was particularly abundant, and they even felt that it was floating and out of the world! I couldn’t help but think in my heart that this place was really wonderful, and the Five Destiny Academy is the best in the world in Feng Shui and Geography, and it is truly well-known.
At this time, Guo Pu was already the first person in the Yin-Yang School. It was naturally not easy to invite guests. The scenery in Phoenix Platform was originally different, making people feel like they were in the Heavenly Palace. Guo Pu's next acting was even more amazing.
Everyone was wondering why there were only a few empty plates in front of the banquet. As a result, after the meal started, Guo Pu asked a child to take a seed and buried it in the mud pot. The seed quickly took root and sprouted, and finally grew into a simple and curved peach tree, blooming and bearing fruit. The big red fairy peaches produced were fragrant. The guests present had many fairy peaches. After eating, it was refreshing, as if all the impurities in the body had been eliminated.
