Jin Mantang stood outside the gate of Wuwei Academy and saw the four powerful words Cangqiu and above the huge stone mountain with a simple shape. He couldn't help but reach out to copy them in the air for a while before saying to Tu Hu beside him: "General Tu, Mr. Zhang, is a great Confucian scholar, but this word is made of golden swords and iron horses, and he is extremely powerful in killing, but it is quite compatible with him."

Tu Hu smiled and said, "It is not common for scholars like Mr. Zhang. Mr. Jin, you are willing to come to Wuyi this time. Our Jieshou was extremely surprised. This Wuwei Academy is the best place in our Wuyi. It not only has beautiful scenery, but also has pleasant books. I think Mr. Jin should be satisfied with this place, right?"

"Let me, a guy full of stinking, live in the best academy in the world today. Li Jieshuai is really unique." Jin Mantang laughed.

"Mr. Jin is probably one of the richest people in the world, but Mr. Jin's knowledge and knowledge are also admirable." Tu Hu said: "Even Mr. Zhang praised your calligraphy. Mr. Jin, please!"

This Jin Mantang was the biggest gain for Gao Xiangsheng to go out for Li Zela's financial master. He was the one who personally came to receive him when Tuhu went to Yangzhou for the first time. It was also the extravagant businessman in Tuhu's mouth.

Jin Mantang, the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou, the largest money house in the south, the big boss of Shenghe money house. Of course, he is also a member of Sihai Business.

Gao Xiangsheng ran around for several months, and Jin Mantang was the only member of the Sihai Trading who was willing to come to Wuyi to take a look.

At this time, the sun had disappeared behind the mountain, and only a fiery red sunset left left half of the sky, but the academy was empty and there was no sound of reading. Instead, the wise men on the big trees were clamoring there.

Seeing Jin Mantang's somewhat surprised expression, Tu Hu said, "The students in the academy have been assigned to help with the autumn harvest these days. Early and night is a good time to do things. When it is evening, it will be lively here."

"I have heard for a long time that Mr. Zhang's method of studying and the six arts of a gentleman are indispensable. This is very different from some great Confucian scholars in the south." Jin Mantang nodded.

"Opening a horse can lead the army, dismounting a horse can govern the people, throwing it into the field is a farmer, and entering the business world is a businessman." Tu Hu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang said that you need to learn something to learn before you know it. A mouth that can speak well is very good, but you know nothing when you do it. This is not the way of a saint."

"Mr. Zhang understands it thoroughly." Jin Mantang smiled and nodded.

Tu Hu took Jin Mantang into an independent building. There were seven or eight such buildings, covered with blue bricks and green tiles and green trees. Although they were on the same ground as the academy, they were separated into two different areas by countless green plants, making them even more quiet.

"This is the academy's hospitality place." Tu Hu said: "We Jieshuai said that in the future, Wuwei Academy will definitely welcome many places to communicate, so these guesthouses must be well built. However, since the construction has been built, you are the first to come and move in."

"Don't Mr. Zhang live here?"

"Mr. Zhang likes adobe thatched houses, saying that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is more natural." Tu Hu said: "Ji Shuai can't resist him, so he can only go with him. Mr. Jin, let's go in!"

The deacon servant in front of the small building pushed open the door of the small building, and a cool air suddenly came to his face, sweeping away the heat and fatigue of Jin Mantang's journey.

"Mr. Jin rests for a while. Your entourage is arranged in two other small buildings. You can see it when you open the window." Tu Hu smiled. "Mr. Jin lives in a fine life. This small building has all the needs of life. Mr. Jin's entourage chef can cook on his own. If something is missing, he will ask the servants outside to buy it."

"General Tu has troubled. General Tu will go as soon as possible if he has something to do. He is tired all the way, so I want to take a nap." Jin Mantang smiled and said, "I just don't know when I will meet Jishuai?"

"Jingshou has been thirsty for a long time, so I will report it now. I think Jishou will definitely come to meet Jin Gong tonight." Tu Hu said.

"That's good!"

The two bowed and said goodbye. Tu Hu hurriedly left, while Jin Mantang, who claimed to be taking a nap, was not sleepy. He stood in front of the window of the small building and looked down at the entire Wuwei Academy.

With the ups and downs of the terrain, this small building can almost see the entire Wuwei Academy at the window. It is hard to imagine that a military leader like Li Ze would attach so much importance to culture and education. In Jin Mantang's view, at this time, military people are in power, and everyone pursues fists harder than others, and their knives are faster than others, and their minds are thinking of using force to solve problems. Jin Mantang has walked through many places and seen many local towns. Without exception, they are all expanding their arms, and the status of local literati is declining sharply.

As the saying goes, whether you have a moral character in your stomach, if you go down with a knife, you will still have a white knife in and a red knife out. The dust returns to the dust and the soil returns to the soil. As a special businessman, Jin Mantang certainly knew that this was wrong, but this is the reality now, because a very simple thing is placed in front of everyone. If you don’t have strong force, you can’t talk about survival.

A person like Li Ze who has strong force but attaches so much importance to culture and education can only be said that this person is thinking about the long-term, planning for the future, and seeing the future.

And this is also the reason why Jin Mantang is willing to come here.

He is different from most people in Sihai Business. As a salt merchant and a money shop owner, he only supports him with a huge amount of money, but if troubled times come, these things will be the most unreliable. He needs to consider more for his future.

As night fell, the academy finally became lively. Groups of students and professors returned from the outside in groups, wearing short jackets, rolled up their legs, straw sandals, and their heads and clothes were covered with dust and grass chips, but they all looked full of energy. After entering the academy gate, they returned home. After a while, they came out, but they were all dressed neatly, completely different from their previous appearance. Everyone went straight to the cafeteria with a chat and laugh.

"A glance at the leaf to know autumn. This Wuwei Jie Town is indeed a little different." Jin Mantang nodded secretly. In Yangzhou, big financial owners like him are naturally sponsors of some local academies and schools, and there are many outstanding students in some places, but they seem to be a little bit short of the students of Wuwei Academy, whom they have a quick glance today.

Sitting on the rocking chair by the window, Jin Mantang narrowed his eyes, but a faint fragrance came from his nose. He suddenly realized that this season should be the time when mosquitoes are the most disturbing. There are large forests in Wuwei Academy, which stands against the river. It should be the place where mosquitoes are the most rampant, but he did not hear the annoying buzzing sound of mosquitoes.

When he leaned down, he saw a small incense lord on the small square table. A faint blue smoke was rising from the inside. He reached out and opened the lid. He looked at the spices surrounding the circles inside, which were slowly burning, but not any spices he was familiar with. He suddenly realized that there were no mosquitoes, probably the credit for this thing.

This is a good thing. At least he hasn't seen such exquisite mosquito repellent spices before. There are other mosquito repellent drugs, but the smell is not that good.

Looking at the ice bucket in the house again, Jin Mantang nodded with satisfaction. Wuwei Jie Town seemed to have invested a lot of money, at least in terms of entertaining itself. These things are probably valuable.

However, this good feeling did not last long. After a while, when the servants living in the other two small buildings came to report to him, they also talked about these things. It turned out that these things were found even among the servants.

More importantly, he was responsible for going to see the servants in the academy and telling him that all these things were prepared in the academy canteen and the scholars' dormitories.

It seems that these valuable things are actually standard in this Wuwei Academy.

How much does this cost?

While a little depressed, Jin Mantang was also extremely surprised.

When Li Ze and Zhang Hui came together, Jin Mantang had just sat on the dining table, holding seven or eight plates of dishes on the table, all made by the chef he brought himself. The slaughter tiger was prepared very carefully, and all the ingredients and seasonings were prepared.

"It's better to come sooner than to come sooner!" Looking at a table of Jiangnan-style dishes, Li Ze smiled at Jin Mantang: "Mr. Jin must not mind adding two pairs of bowls and chopsticks. Mr. Zhang and I had just returned to Wuyi. When we heard that Mr. Jin had collapsed, we rushed over immediately, but we didn't eat."

"Things that I can't be sought!" Jin Mantang greeted the two of them, and smiled and ordered someone to add bowls and chopsticks: "I'm afraid that Jieshuai won't be used to the southern taste."

"I'm used to eating, I'm used to eating!" Li Ze said with a smile. "I heard Tu Hu talk about the show that Mr. Jin was in Yangzhou. I was saliva after hearing it."

Jin Mantang laughed: "But it's all about the scene. In private, I prefer to eat some light and simple meals. Just like today, I really don't know that Jieshuai and Mr. Zhang come over, which seems a bit negligent."

"It's already excellent." Zhang replied with a smile: "Mr. Jin came from afar and was supposed to be a guest. We should have held a banquet and entertained us now, but now we have done the opposite. Fortunately, Mr. Jin always has to stay for a while this time, and we will hold a banquet to invite him on the day of the festival."

"Then I'll thank you for being handsome first." Jin Mantang personally presented chopsticks to the two of them. The three of them sat around the dining table, drank porridge, ate side dishes, and talked about gossip. In a blink of an eye, they wiped out seven or eight dishes on the table.
