Chapter 376 Looking for talents
"Let's get up in the morning and wait for dawn, lie down at night to shine on the Beidou; roll in the world to watch the world, look for the city in the market; although the shoulder pole is narrow and carries the sun and the moon, the shoulders are steep and the world is supported by the world. The sleeves are clean and cold, and the eyes are clear and bright to see the people; the humble room is green and the vines are green, and there is a China in the cottage." Not to mention the blue ocean, many people were pulled out by Xiao Hao, a master who shines with the sun and the moon, a master who dares to criticize or even oppose the existing Confucianism, and this guy himself is a Confucian master. For the current Xu Kingdom, it is simply a timely help. Of course, Xu Kingdom needs to find this charcoal fire by himself.
"I should say that an ordinary businessman hiding in the market, and his situation is relatively poor. But there should be many such people." Mo Xinfang's face was speechless, "This person should get up very early and come back late, and live a difficult life in the market; he is simple and carries a shoulder pole to make a living. As for what it means to carry the sun and the moon to support the universe, it is just a metaphor. The humble room is green and green, to put it nicely, isn't this the case for poor families!"
"The vines in the humble room are green, so what should we look for in winter?" Han Yufeng suddenly burst into inspiration.
Mo Xinfang shook his head: "It can be used as a method. But I don't think the effect will be very good! Don't forget that the other party's identity is a master with the sun and moon shining together, and he has become a master with the sun and moon shining together five hundred years ago. It is not the masters of the sun and moon shining together we see now.
If he doesn't want outsiders to see the speciality in his place, it's impossible for us to find it. And we don't know whether this person's appearance is middle-aged, old, or even young? He knows nothing!"
"Then this person doesn't exist, it's arranged by Princess Long!" Lan Hai had the skepticism of the prime minister.
"Impossible! Princess Long can not say anything. Since she said it, it is definitely not for the purpose of playing with people." Minister of Commerce Xiao Yuantang interjected in time.
"Let's do this," Xiao Hao finally came up with a solution. "Let's let the businessmen pay attention to it, just pay attention to something special. Don't care whether it's carrying a shoulder pole or a very cold one, just pay attention as long as there is a little special one.
Especially the ones that need to be named are that there is no special at all, which is special in itself, so you should pay special attention to this.
How many people are like this in the entire Shangqiu realm? I don’t believe that I can’t investigate them one by one. Anyway, that guy has been with him for five hundred years. It doesn’t matter if he waits for another three or five years.”
Haha... Xiao Hao's last words made many people laugh.
Xiao Hao looked around helplessly. This sentence was not what I said, but what the great and beautiful queen said. To be honest, Xiao Hao was surprised for a long time when he heard Qingyue's words. It was better to have fun alone than to be happy, so he said it. Let everyone have fun together.
There is no idea for the time being, so everyone continues to work on their own affairs; but Xiao Yuantang ordered some general information to let the merchants pay attention. Now in just three or two years, merchants have become the most important part of Xu Kingdom. Under the guidance of Xiao Hao, the power of capital has begun to sprout, and the ideological enlightenment movement has opened up the hearts and vision of the people of Xu Kingdom. In this case, the power of Xu Kingdom is completely different from that of other countries, because the power of Xu Kingdom comes from both the people and the top leaders, and the people are the foundation; not like other countries, the power mainly comes from the top leaders, and there are few people who support it. This is the attic in the sky.
Now this power has exploded for the first time. Hundreds of merchants and tens of thousands of practitioners have helped Xu Guo/Xiao Hao inquire about information in Shangqiu, the former capital of Song State! These merchants have a wild way. But when inquiring about information, especially when inquiring about information in the market, they are much stronger than the official power!
In the first month, all the merchants in Shangqiu were found out clearly; in the second month, every municipal staff in Shangqiu understood the profile; then they began to narrow the circle and select one by one. This was really a dragnet-style search, with big fish, small fish, big shrimps and shrimps; every day, all kinds of merchants walked around the streets and alleys to see how the situation in each room was, and they would not let them go in rural areas and remote places.
If the country is allowed to do such an action, it will definitely be a waste of money; but if the businessmen are allowed to do it, it will be a good way for them to live like this!
Especially in Xuguo, these businessmen are grateful for their current life. They have always wanted to make some contribution to the country, which is really a sign of hard work. Sometimes a healthy social system does not require compulsory measures. Everyone will consciously work hard for a better future.
Time passed day by day, and heavy snow had already fallen from the sky; but at this time, the development of Xu Kingdom did not stop. There was no farming in winter, and many farmers began to go out to work, and the thoroughfares extended on the land of Xu Kingdom; it turned out that the city walls in Song Kingdom and Cai Kingdom were pushed, and the fallen city walls became the best base material for the road to construction. The wide and flat avenues connected all corners of Xu Kingdom today.
In order to win the right to build the main road, merchants are also striving to compete for the tolls on the main road, which is precious.
The development of business, coupled with the Enlightenment movement that still has not stopped, and the effective guidance has enabled the potential of the entire Xu Kingdom to increase almost every moment. Xu Kingdom, the Xu Kingdom is now rising like the rising sun, while the darkness of the sky is retreating. Xu Kingdom is becoming the brilliant pearl of the oriental character in China at an unprecedented speed.
At this time, the reform of Chen State in the south had reached a critical moment, and Nangong Zhi was already a little tired. The nobles were unwilling to give up the rights and interests in their hands. Although it sounds nice, if they really started, they would not be willing to give up a single hair! On the other hand, because of the counterattack of the nobles, the civilians who had repeatedly seen hope and slaves were repeatedly cruelly suppressed, and the entire Chen State began to stir up and become unstable! And behind many nobles, there were even royal families, making the reform even more difficult!
The most important thing is that Nangong Zhi was assassinated several times! This is simply unheard of!
"Master, why don't we... let's resign!" The sincere old servant next to him expressed his opinion.
"Resign?" Nangong Zhi sneered and shook his head helplessly, "If I resign now, those nobles will never let me go, and Your Majesty will not let me go either!
The most important thing is that I am unwilling to give up! Don’t these nobles want to resist? Very good. I will fight these nobles from tomorrow. But I hold the imperial edict in my hand, so I don’t believe that I can’t kill a few thorns.
But Lao Wu. You leave the capital now and help my family and all our confidants move to the border of Xu Kingdom; when things cannot be done, we will enter Xu Kingdom!"
"...Yes!" Old Wu turned around and left.
A storm is about to come to Chen State!
At the same time, all the countries around Xu Kingdom began to panic. Some of them began to panic, while others began to imitate and learn from Xu Kingdom; and Xu Kingdom also opened its arms... Want to come? Come on, just pay the tuition fee and come at will. If you can't master the core, you want to learn the surface. That's impossible! The Red Empire suffered this loss back then and was almost played with by Western powers; and now Xiao Hao has to use such an opportunity to treat the surrounding countries.
Without mastering the core, those advanced ideas are just poisons of thought; now, Chen State has been poisoned. Moreover, the poisoning is very serious. The entire Chen State is in turmoil, and all Xiao Hao needs to do is wait! When Chen State becomes sluggish, Xiao Hao will send troops to bring Chen State into his territory in one fell swoop!
With the destruction of Song and Cai, the East seemed to be temporarily calm, but under the calm, it was the strangest wave! But this kind of wave was not something that the ancient countries could imagine. They just felt the danger, but did not know the specific source and degree of danger!
The reform of Chen State continued, and after all the family members evacuated to the border of Xu State, Nangong Zhi's reform power suddenly intensified; most of the gentle methods were abandoned, and the heads of nobles kept rolling down on the guillotine.
Now the countries around Xu Kingdom are also learning some of the ideas of Xu Kingdom, etc., and are also observing the reforms of Chen Kingdom, and adjusting their own country's policies in a timely manner. Of course, the few countries that truly have such a thinking of keeping pace with the times are ultimately a minority, and most countries are actually still in a state of insensitiveness. They still maintain various habits from the past.
Reforms, etc., all mean change. In many cases, people are nostalgic creatures, unwilling to change too much, or even accepting a little change; and for vested interests, change means the loss of interests. Under the comprehensiveness of all aspects, there are still too many countries that are unwilling to change, or even unwilling to acknowledge the huge changes that have taken place in their neighbors in the East.
No matter whether you say ignorance, numbness, or stubbornness, people's thoughts are always the most complex.
In such an environment, Xiao Hao got good news. After three months of screening, his subordinates finally set their target, a middle-aged man selling tofu.
Fang Chengyang, one of the largest businessmen in Xu Kingdom, stood respectfully next to Xiao Hao to report: "Your Majesty, according to our multi-faceted investigation, there is a yard in the local area for five hundred years to make tofu, and it is said that it is a ancestral craft.
Based on various local legends and many stories and signs, we found that this so-called ancestral tofu workshop has always been alone, and whether young or middle-aged or old, it has always been alone! This is obviously abnormal! You think that for five hundred years, no woman came forward, and no boy appeared. Every time it started with a young man, bought tofu for decades to old age; and then a young man appeared again, and the elderly disappeared! In theory, something like burial would always happen.
Although this man was well concealed, it would be difficult to find him according to the general idea; but he never expected that we could find him in this way."
At the end, Fang Chengyang spoke a little proudly; a small businessman actually pulled out a master who shone with the sun and the moon! As a big businessman like Fang Chengyang, they are also considered peripheral members of the Xuguo Business Department, and they are qualified to know something.
"Very good!" Xiao Hao nodded, "I'll go by myself, you don't follow me."
"Your Majesty, this is dangerous!" Mao Yuanhui warned urgently next to him. After Xiao Hao's guidance, Mao Yuanhui became a master of sun and moon shining together, and even Qiuye Wutong Mountain has jumped to the top of the hundred schools in just one year; but Mao Yuanhui chose to be loyal to Xiao Hao. In a sense, Xiao Hao is considered Mao Yuanhui's "extraditioner" and a half of the unknown master. Therefore, Mao Yuanhui's loyalty to Xiao Hao is natural. Not only will he not be ridiculed, but he will be commended.
"No need." Xiao Hao waved his hand gently. "Don't forget that this person is a master of Sun and Moon Tonghui five hundred years ago. Do you think he will stand still for five hundred years?"
"Uh... OK!" Mao Yuanhui could only nod helplessly and had to admit this fact. In five hundred years, even a ignorant little animal could become a monster, let alone the human race that is the best among all things. Not to mention the elite among the human race, the master of Sun and Moon Typhoon! After entering the master of Sun and Moon Typhoon Typhoon, the gap between each level will only be even greater; in this case, the gap between Mao Yuanhui and the other party is absolutely unimaginable! Perhaps, under the oppression of the other party, Mao Yuanhui did not even have the ability to resist!
As early as in the trading center, Xiao Hao suspected that there must be some extremely huge gap between masters of Sun and Moon and Racing. Otherwise, the death of masters of Sun and Moon and Racing could directly affect the human race's fortune on a large scale, and even turn into a holy peak after death; and the death of masters of Sun and Moon and Racing that Xiao Hao saw with his own eyes had a certain impact, but it was not big, and nothing was left after death. All of this had long made Xiao Hao start to be careful.
Now Xiao Hao has a rough understanding; it is because of this understanding that Xiao Hao rejected Mao Yuanhui and even Yang Sheng's protection. He just brought a few small ordinary guards and visited him in person with some gifts.
According to the location provided by Fang Chengyang, Xiao Hao found the target. It was a middle-aged man with dark complexion. The years left deep marks on his face. He wore a lot of patches in his coarse blue shirt, but his whole body was cleaner. Behind him was a shoulder pole, and there were two kinds of tofu in the two wooden barrels, one was tender and the other was coarse and old. Both wooden barrels were very large. They could hold at least seventy or eighty kilograms. It could be seen that they were very heavy and heavy, and ordinary people could not pick them up at all.
At this moment, there are many people around this person asking for the price. But they all seem to be relatively wealthy. Although this person is said to be very good at making tofu, tofu is also a luxury for ordinary people, so most of the people asking for the price are outsiders and relatively wealthy people. These people are mainly the original people of Xuguo who came with the expansion of Xuguo.
Xiao Hao followed a few guards and watched without panic. Xiao Hao did not disturb the grand occasion in front of him. He even stopped the guards' ideas. In Xu Country, Xiao Hao must set an example. Facing a brand new political love and social thoughts, if Xiao Hao couldn't do it well, how could others imitate and learn? So Xiao Hao saw many people who recognized him. He just smiled and nodded. He should show affinity to the common people; and to the powerful and powerful! This is Xiao Hao's thought.
Xiao Hao was waiting here until the evening, waiting for everyone to disperse, and waiting for this person to sell all the tofu. At this time, Xiao Hao took a step forward:
"Hello, do you know a 'talent' who is very ambitious and talented, arrogant and has many mistakes in doing things?"
Xiao Hao was particularly chewing the word "talent" and obviously mocking him.
"I don't know!" The man carried a shoulder pole and walked around Xiao Hao and continued to move forward; the tone of his answer was full of impatientness.
"Tsk tsk..." Xiao Hao shook his head silently, "I think this person is not only full of ambitions and talent, arrogant, and has many mistakes in doing things; he also ridiculously covers his ears and steals the bells, without self-knowledge, deceiving himself, and self-righteous. Moreover, in this life, he has no goal, but is just wasting his years.
What can I do if I have sold tofu for five hundred years? What benefits do I benefit the world? More people sell tofu in the world, one more or one less has no effect on the world. Oh, is it meaningful to have a good time like this?
I heard this saying: Life is short, but I don’t regret it. When I get old, I can tell my great achievements to my descendants. The only regret is that I don’t have much time left, and I don’t have time to finish so many great achievements.
Some people have nothing to say until they die, and they can only have two words to do in their lifetime: boredom!
What kind of gap do you think is this?
Ambition is not about being high, and living for a hundred years without ambition! Tsk, a great life, what can you do if you have a thousand years of life? A ten thousand years of life cannot withstand waste!"
"Bang!" The man finally got angry and threw the shoulder pole on his shoulder down, "What did you say! Say it to me again!"
In the distance, Mao Yuanhui, Yang Sheng, Han Zongfa and the Mo family followed the masters of Sun and Mo. They suddenly became nervous. Just when this person was angry, these masters of Sun and Mo. They felt that the world in front of them was dark, and that feeling like an ant hit the hearts of these people. Cold sweat immediately flowed out from the heads and backs of these masters of Sun and Mo.
"Sure enough, it's him! But the sun and the moon are both bright, but the gap is so big. He will have no power to resist!" Yang Sheng and Mao Yuanhui looked at each other and shook their heads silently. Both of them were awakened by Xiao Hao. In a sense, they are still brothers!
But on the other side, Xiao Hao shook his head unconsciously. "I discovered again that he was narrow-minded, unwilling tolerant, and had no heart to the prime minister. He said that he was in the world, but he could not tolerate any disobedience. He also liked to shirk responsibility and was not responsible for his own affairs.
Carrying poles and wooden barrels, what are your sins? You are so accommodated."
As Xiao Hao said, he walked directly by the man, sorted out the shoulder pole and wooden barrel on the ground, and picked it up by himself; then he would use a small magical power to clean the ground.
"Forget it, it's so disappointing. It's annoying."
Then Xiao Hao hung the shoulder pole naturally on the other party's body, and then turned around and left with everyone; he was about to disappear around the corner without hesitation.
This... let alone Yang Sheng, Mao Yuanhui and others were disappointed, even the tofu seller was shocked. Today's incident is really weird! First, his identity was revealed in one breath, and then his master Sun and Moon Tonghui was actually scolded by a little kid and scolded him, and he scolded him for being a slut! Then the little kid actually turned around and left!
How can this work?
At the first moment, a magical power caught Xiao Hao and others back.
"Hey, you are a senior. Have a little bit of grace. You have lost your last grace now!" Xiao Hao was calm.
"Little baby, don't behave like a good person in front of me! Today, you have to explain everything clearly to me. Otherwise, I won't mind making you into tofu!" At this time, the middle-aged man finally showed a hint of hideousness. Then he controlled Xiao Hao and everyone with one hand, and walked forward with a shoulder pole on his shoulder.
Xiao Hao and several guards seemed to be wrapped in bubbles, flying slowly one foot away from the ground.
"Hey, you are a senior, you don't even have the most basic demeanor."
"Take a tricky little baby like you, you must use thunderous means!"
"No, you understand it wrong. I'm not talking about this. But I want to say that you don't even dare to admit your own mistakes! You are really the best among human beings. You obviously don't dare to admit your mistakes, but instead vent your anger on others. No wonder you have to lie like a mouse for five hundred years. If you lie about five hundred years, you will become a thousand-year-old turtle, an old birthday star and a mascot."
"Boy, do you know you're very noisy?"
"I'm just telling a fact! Oh, you said you are a master who shines with the sun and the moon, but you can't even accept the opinions raised by others. You can still achieve the current results. I'm really drunk."
"Boy, why did you get so many weird nonsense? Very good, I'm going to get home soon, I'm going to make you into tofu!"
"People say that there are three venerables in the world, one virtue, one title, and one tooth. What do you have to be respected by me!" (There are three supreme things in the world, morality, title/noble, age/old. Special explanation is that ancient morality did not mean modern morality, but rather to the way to good things, code of conduct, etc.; the meaning of current morality was derived from later.)
"Boy, you are unwilling to let go of me if you don't anger me!"
"Hey hey, how can you do this? Boy, I'm just giving you advice. But I'm not as old as you, and I can't speak. You can just take it a little bit. If I could find a burial for five hundred years, maybe I could get rid of my problem."
Puff... The guards following Xiao Hao couldn't help laughing.
"Cruff..." An old firewood door opened, and a handful of tofu bought Xiao Hao and others fell to the yard. However, Xiao Hao and others stood up as soon as they were released, and a small magical power avoided the embarrassing "landing".
"Boy, tell me, how did you find me!" At this time, the middle-aged man's face changed and he turned into an old man with fairy spirit in a short time; to be precise, an old man with a childish face and a gentle and elegant robe in a light blue robe.
"You can buy your whereabouts with 1,000 lucky coins, and that self-righteous and bullshit poem!"
Chapter completed!
