Chapter 33: When big countries fight, small countries suffer

PreviousBack to directoryNext
  “Small countries pay tribute?”

 Feng Yun exclaimed and said: "I hope so. The whole book??????????.????"

 In his heart, Feng Yun didn't really believe that the Yue State would take care of small countries and treat the great leaders with courtesy, otherwise many of the previous incidents would not have occurred.

What's more, according to the theory of luck, Yue's power only lasted for a few months. How could he give up invading other countries because of a small profit before completing his goal?

 Sometimes being rude is also a reason to start a war.

 Only those who pay attention to etiquette will take into account all aspects.

 “Brother, please tell Uncle Zong that I can see you tomorrow.”

 “Nuo.” The guards left.

Feng Yun also got up to give lectures.

Because of the previous reputation riot, more and more people, even visitors from foreign lands, are rushing here just to see the sergeant giving lectures.

“It’s like cooking oil on a fire.” Feng Yun knew clearly that he had been pushed to this position.

 But I have to go.

 “Yunfu Zi’an.”

 After coming to the well water and under the willow tree, Feng Yun sat down on his knees, waiting for the time to come to start teaching...

 …

“Guan Zhong, hurry up, let’s go and listen to it today.”

 “Wait, wait, wait, I’ll get the bamboo slips I wrote last night.”

 In front of a cart of goods, I saw a young man rushing into the messy cargo room and rummaging through it.

This cart was pulled by an ox, with two wheels and a large wooden board at the end. It looked shabby, but this was the current situation of ordinary traveling merchants at this time. [Remember the domain name of this website s520.

Soon, Guan Zhong grabbed a scroll and wrote nearly half of the bamboo slips.

The other one looked at Guan Zhong's embarrassed appearance and said with a smile: "You, it's not etiquette. When I see you later, I will let you sit at the end."

Guan Zhong snorted coldly, pretending to be proud.

“If you are making fun of me based on my current appearance, which is so superficial, then I won’t go.”

As he spoke, Guan Zhong hurried forward.

“Hey, you guy, our goods have to be pulled over too!” Unfortunately, the people behind could only pull the old cow to the well.

Guan Zhong, who was holding the bamboo slips, quickly ran to the well. It was not full at this time. He hurriedly found a good seat. After sitting down, he saw the appearance of Chairman Feng Yun and was surprised.

“This master is of good looks, no wonder he can knock on the door of the noble family at such a young age.”

Guan Zhong’s eyes were clear, and he did not mean to slander what he said. Instead, he was full of praise.

 The color of a gentleman in the Zhou Dynasty is also his own virtue, even the most intuitive one.

Even people who are born ugly will try their best to dress themselves up in order to be energetic and dignified. Therefore, good-looking people are more popular in the Zhou Dynasty and are more likely to favor the nobles. This is due to national conditions. Search xs520.

Of course, good looks are not enough, you also need to have talent and learning.

 …

 Not long after, the mouth of the well was already full of people, old and young, all looking forward to it.

Feng Yun, who was sitting at the top, knew clearly that most of the people came to watch the excitement. This was due to his reputation, and there were very few people who actually came to listen.

Feng Yun’s thoughts on teaching have become much less intense.

 “Let’s say the words first today…”

Feng Yun made a sound, and the mouth of the well soon became quiet, except for Feng Yun's voice that slowly entered his ears.

 Wait until the speech is over.

Before Guan Zhong could react, he saw the two original young masters standing up in a hurry.

 “Master, please teach me how to wait.” After saying this, he asked the guard to take out two pieces of bacon on a wooden plate.

Feng Yun thought: Sure enough, it’s here.

  "You two are young masters in the court, how can you worship your master at will?"

 Full version 520.????

When Feng Yun asked, the two people had no intention of retreating. Instead, they said loudly: "Master is a virtuous man who lectures for all the people in the great court. He also said that 'under the king, all the people are the people', and 'the common people can also rely on their own learning.'" Shi's remarks were so inspiring that he was like waking up from a dream. My brother and I were impressed by Master's talent and learning, so we came to practice."

“Master, don’t be upset, we are a member of the imperial clan, but we have already informed the uncle that we can worship you.”

Feng Yun nodded slightly, but said: "You two have reached adulthood, and you need to test it again to learn. Keep it to yourselves and listen first."

Of course, Feng Yun knew that these two people wanted to be accepted as disciples of Feng Yun rather than worshiping their master.

Hearing this, the two people, although it did not meet their expectations, bowed hurriedly and sat down looking at each other.

Others are ready to take action, hoping to worship the Master as well.

But Feng Yun said: "I am a ceremonial scholar. Uncle Zong allowed me to take a break from bathing and study at home. I think that self-study is not as good as giving lectures. It can not only spur myself but also enlighten the people... But when I take a break from bathing, my disciples' affairs will be difficult." I won’t express it for now.”

Feng Yun first belittled himself and suppressed his reputation, and then refused the offer of repair.

No matter how disappointed he was, Feng Yun said: "I have been lecturing for nearly half a month, and I should return to the court tomorrow. You have been listening to the lecture for a long time, do you have any questions?"

 The nature of the lectures has changed. If this continues, Feng Yun himself will not be able to get off the stage. After he finished speaking the part of "Rituals" that the common people can listen to, what else can he say next.

 "Book of Changes", "Thirty-six Hexagrams of Da Ting" and "Six Tao"?

 This is not something that common people need in their lives?

As for teaching Chinese characters, distant water cannot quench local thirst. It is enough for these adults to listen to one or two lectures. Let them learn Chinese characters day and night. I am afraid they will not be as simple and easy to accept as children.

While Feng Yun was still waiting to be asked, there was a commotion below. Feng Yun's words just now were obviously meant to end the lecture.

Many of them were reluctant to leave, but most of them felt that the fun was over and there was one less interesting thing to do in the fields.

“What a good Guan Zhong, leave me the bullock cart and come here to listen to the lessons…”

 “Stop talking yet, I have a question to ask.”

With that said, Guan Zhong pushed away the scoundrel guy beside him, saluted hurriedly, and asked Feng Yun: "Goodbye, Mr. Yun."

Feng Yun nodded.

Guan Zhong immediately asked: "I am a traveling merchant. This time I am doing business in the Kingdom of Wu and am heading to the Kingdom of Yingfang."

 Guan Zhong first explained his identity.

Feng Yun's eyes moved slightly as he thought about it, but he didn't express it for the time being and listened to Guan Zhong's words.

Guan Zhong then asked the question: "When I entered the Great Court from the State of Wu, all the small countries along the way were like a great court. The people were panicked and prepared treasures to pay tribute to the two dynasties..."

“A small country has no choice but to be a rival to a big country, so it can only do this.” Guan Zhong also sighed.

When Feng Yun heard this, his heart moved. It turned out that not only the small countries surrounding the Yue State were paying tribute to the Yue State in search of stability, but the small countries surrounding the Wu State were also taking into account Wu's ideas and paying tribute to its dynasty.

 Thinking about it——When big countries fight, small countries suffer.

Just listen to Guan Zhong continue: "The small countries surrounding Wu are different from the small countries such as Dating surrounding Yue."

“The State of Wu did not ask for tribute from small countries, nor did it reject or express its stance on the actions of those small countries.”

“As for the surrounding areas of Yue, it was Yue who took the initiative to ask for tribute, and they asked for it again and again..."

“May I ask Mr. Yun how he views this matter and how to resolve it?”

 Guan Zhong was not a native of Da Ting, but at this time he was very concerned about the affairs of Da Ting, and he discussed this with Feng Yun.

Feng Yun didn't know for the moment that this man was called Guan Zhong, but he looked deeply at him. When he saw that his eyes were not filled with compassion, but an excited fighting spirit, he seemed to understand something.

 What some scholars learned can only be fully revealed in troubled times.

  Originally, I wanted to use the big court affairs as a chessboard to express my inner knowledge.
