Li Ling was stared at by hundreds of people, either surprised, playful, or hostile eyes, but he was not panicked at all. He still sat there with a golden sword, and even the smile on his face was not missing. He glanced at him and went against those people one by one before he settled on Luo Feng, who had already had a gloomy face: "I don't know if you dare to listen."

Luo Feng's face suddenly became as deep as water, and he felt even more annoyed. He had spent a lot of effort on this time and had a great deal of responsibility. He thought that everything would come naturally and could make Zhang Hefeng famous, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out at this time, which made him extremely angry, but it was difficult for him to attack for a while.

At this time, a companion next to him spoke first: "Just, what do you rely on to argue with a juren like Mr. Luo? You are worthy of it?" His tone was full of disdain. However, as soon as he said this, he found that Luo Feng's face was even more ugly, and then he saw that the expressions of many scholars around him changed, and they all looked at them with hostile eyes.

Li Ling smiled in his heart. What is a pig teammate? Today I saw it. This person might have wanted to suppress himself with his identity, but he completely forgot that most of the people in the hall are all students now. After he said this, the attack was too wide, and he immediately offended all these candidates.

He would not leave any opportunity to make up for the other party, and immediately sneered: "So Young Master Luo, do you do this in life? Then I want to ask you, is it the gap between scholars and juren, or is the gap between great scholars like juren and Zhang Rushi?"

As soon as this was said, Luo Feng was really panicked, but before he could explain that it was not his own meaning, Li Ling had already said again: "We scholars have studied hard for ten years of hard work. Learning is actually just a small way, but being a person's mind is the most important thing. If you can't even distinguish between the two, then you have been reading poetry and books for many years, and you really don't deserve to call yourself a scholar.

"Compared with you, Mr. Zhang Ru is the real style of a great scholar. Not only is he willing to share the argument with people like you, but even if what you say is mostly nonsense, he has no objection. However, I do not have the same demeanor as Mr. Zhang Ru, so some things still need to be argued with you."

It was not until then that Luo Feng calmed down from the panic, his eyes were faint, and his tone was stern: "You said so many things just to belittle me, but until now, I only heard your dirty words, and I have never heard of any high opinion! If there is indeed real material, why not speak out bluntly and do what to do with these verbal details?"

Luo Feng was indeed very good. After calming down, he grasped the key point. As long as the theory of suppressing commerce he proposed could stand, Li Ling's ridicule just now would not be hurt, and it would even seem that the other party was making trouble.

Li Ling smiled, "Since you sincerely ask for advice, let me give you a few words in case you go astray and say such ridiculous words.

"You are talking about the farmer and the merchants, do you know when the saying will spread? "

Luo Feng and the people around him were stunned. They had never thought about the origin of this statement. They only felt that there was such a sort. They looked at each other and couldn't say anything. Li Ling laughed and said, "Let me tell you, this statement originally came from this dynasty. After Taizu founded the country, it was divided into the people of the world into four major parts: scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. However, Taizu never said that these four were divided into the upper and lower parts in sequence. On the contrary, there were many records in Taizu's record that said that all actions in the world are the foundation of a strong country and should not be neglected. But you just took a little explanation and said it was a hot topic here. It was really a courageous way to use ignorance!"

"You..." Luo Feng was so angry that he trembled with anger when he was scolded by Li Ling, but he couldn't say anything to argue. He had never read such an unpopular Taizu's record, and he didn't even know whether what Li Ling said was true or false.

Not only him, but others also looked suspicious, because they had heard of this deep-rooted statement, but they didn't know that it was from this dynasty, and Taizu's actual records were naturally impossible for them to read it. After all, that thing would not be used for the imperial examination.

Only Zhang Hefeng was calm at this time and looked at Li Ling's eyes with appreciation, because he had read the record of Taizu and remembered that there was such a statement. This alone shows that this young scholar really reads books well on weekdays.

Li Ling's words suppressed the audience, causing Luo Feng's momentum to disappear, and he continued to work hard: "In fact, if you really want to talk about it, you will be considered a very disrespectful crime to be considered light, but I have never been guilty of my words, so I don't want to bother you too much. I just have to argue with you about the harm of merchants."

Hearing that he did not continue to be entangled in his tampering with Taizu's words, Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied: "This is a conclusion, what else can I argue about?"

"The conclusion? Just because you are scholars and have never been a businessman at home, you insist that merchants are the disadvantages of the world? It's ridiculous and ignorant! You don't know how important merchants are in the country and the family. Not to mention, just here, these seats and tables, if you don't have merchants, it's impossible to be safely decorated. What you use, wear on your home, and even what you eat this morning are all sold by merchants. You turned a blind eye to all these things, but instead wanted to suppress them. This is even more shameless than cooking a rabbit and killing a donkey." Li Ling did not give any mercy to the other party at all, and he did whatever he was ruthless. This time, Li Ling did not give any mercy to the other party at all, and he did whatever he was ruthless.

"That's just some of the results of businessmen making profits. In fact, they are not for the convenience of us. After all, they are just for their own interests!" Luo Feng already felt that he was completely at a disadvantage. All he could do at this time was to seize the businessmen's profits and deal with it.

Li Ling smiled disdainfully again: "Shi Gong Tai once said, "The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. I'm all physical and non-sage, and who is not a saint, who is not seeking profit and avoiding harm? Merchants transport all kinds of goods from north to south, from east to west, shouldn't they gain benefits because of their hard work?

"I just want to ask you, what are you studying hard for ten years? Isn't it still one day that you can go to high school? What are the farmers who work hard in the fields? It is a good harvest, to allow the family to have enough food and clothing; and officials hope that they can achieve political achievements, continue to be promoted, and work, and also hope that they can get higher wages... You can't believe that what they want is normal and natural, but they regard businessmen's pursuit of interests as a traitor, right?

"Of course, there are also some merchants who do things that violate the law and human relations in order to seek huge profits, but such people are only a few. You can't regard all merchants as disasters because of this, right?"

After a big statement, Li Ling had completely controlled the overall situation. Even Zhang Hefeng had turned to listen to his story carefully. Luo Feng opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't even say anything refuted.

Seeing this, Li Ling became more and more energetic: "What I listed just now was only the part that was beneficial to the people, and it was also beneficial to the country! You only talked about the merchants of Zhao Song before. Do you know that what really caused Zhao Song's weakness was not the tyrannical business, but the treacherous and slandered in the court, and the army was even more corrupt? At that time, only Taizu could train elite troops from a hundred battles, and fight east and west to protect our Central Plains from being invaded by foreign tribes.

"And you also know that now my Dayue business tax is already higher than other taxes. It is precisely with such developed business that my Dayue people are thriving and can also raise millions of troops to guard the border. But what about you, as a living person, we not only do not have to pay taxes, but also exempt many relatives and friends around us from tax service. Now we are saying that the merchants who help you pay taxes are a bad disaster for the country. It is really shameless.

"In the end, if the merchants had not opened various shops in this city and hired many people to work for them, I am afraid that there would be too many refugees now. You, Mr. Luo, isn't it because you have enough land in your family and you don't have to worry about your livelihood? But I don't think about where the land in your family came from? If the people who have taken away the land by you have no businessmen to help them, they would have become refugees and even caused some disasters. But what about you? It's really despicable to talk about it on the credit book of your father and grandfather.

"If you say that you are narrow-minded and short-sighted, you will be light. If a person like you really enters the court as an official one day, that will be a disaster for the people of my Great Yue world, and you will be a disadvantage for me!"

"You...you..." Luo Feng was already angry when Li Ling said it, and now he pointed at the nose and scolded and insulted him loudly. He was so angry that he was so angry that he stared at you for a long time, and finally he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell down straight.

"Young Master Luo..." The people around were really stunned at this moment. They stared at Li Ling who was scolding happily. They really wanted to go up and teach the other party a lesson, but now the situation has completely reversed. In the public eye, they didn't have the courage to do something that they could not say anything and beat people. They could only stare at him for a few minutes, and then carried the unconscious Luo Feng and left in a mess.

Li Ling watched the other party leave, smiled contemptuously, stood up respectfully, and bowed to Zhang Hefeng: "Sir Confucianism, this is a little shallow view of the younger generation. If there is any deficiency, please correct me."

His performance not only made him extremely positive, but also saved Zhang Rushi's face, which made the old man look appreciative, and smiled and stroked his beards, saying, "What you said is indeed the right truth, and I agree with it. By the way, I haven't asked your name for Gao yet."

"I dare not call him Gao in front of the Confucian master, younger generation Li Ling, a student in Jiangcheng County, Hengzhou Prefecture." Li Ling once again humbly bowed and reported his identity and name.

"Li Ling..." Many people around him looked at him with strange eyes, some envy and some jealousy, because they knew that after today, Li Ling would become famous throughout Xuzhou. As for the fainting Luo Feng, he was just a waste of time and lost his reputation.
