On the third floor of Jiuxianju, literati and poets are sitting on the floor, and all the heroes are gathered together.

"Everyone, the topic of today's debate is: Is it appropriate to relax the movement restriction order for merchants?"

In the center of the crowd, I saw an old master with silver hair. His small eyes seemed to be unable to open, but his eyes were like paint, exuding the light of wisdom. He held a book and asked a genuine question.

The words hit the ground, and everyone rushed to raise their hands to speak. In an instant, several scholars were giving instructions and writing passionately.

Wu Jingmo took Lu Chengfeng and found a corner to sit down, and explained enthusiastically:

"Brother Chengfeng, what a coincidence! This is the famous Master Xu Mengzhang. He was not only a scholar of the Hanlin Academy at that time, but also a great Confucian who was famous all over the world. How many people did not hesitate to learn from him in order to listen to his lectures?

I have come all the way from afar. Look at today's banquet, there are many scholars from Beiduan and Nanli who are eager to learn."

"So, is this the place where Master Xu lectures? Why did he choose this restaurant instead of the academy?" Lu Chengfeng asked confused.

"No, no, this is a place specially designed by the prince to drink tea and discuss Taoism. In order to recruit talents, the prince holds a debate here and invites everyone to sit down and discuss Taoism. There is one every ten days, and each debate topic is different.

But they are all closely related to the current affairs of the court. The person who wins every debate will be treated as a guest of honor by the prince and recommended to his majesty."

"Oh, no wonder there are so many people! So is Old Master Xu here to preside over the Taoist discussion for the prince?"

"The prince will indeed send someone to preside over the situation, but Mr. Xu rarely comes. Some people are lucky enough to meet the great scholar when they come, and they can get his advice. Some people have been waiting for months, but they bump into him.

He is ill and has never been seen once. After all, Old Master Xu is quite old. So, I say, brother Chengfeng is so lucky!"

"I think I'm a mascot!" Lu Chengfeng laughed at himself. He was indeed a lucky person. He was able to pick up the emperor's grandson, a piece of pie-in-the-sky happiness. When he entered the capital, he could also meet King Xuan and Old Master Xu.

After waiting for a noble man, he also made a friend like Wu Jingmo, well, he also had a lot of money.

"The ancients said that among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants are at the bottom. Relaxing the movement restrictions on merchants is the way to encourage merchants. Isn't it an act of abandoning the foundation to chase the inferior?"

"That's right, pursuing the way of businessmen is blinded by money and interests! It is really a blinded vision and short-sightedness, and it must not be used as my national policy of Dajing!"

"The ancients wanted to know how difficult it was to farm, so they asked Sikai Guigu to help them.

Tao: Food is the foundation of the people. Without food, the people will not survive. If there is no grain for three days, the father will not be able to survive. Plow it, hoe it, mow it, store it, beat it, and winnow the Yangzi.

If you get involved in the barn, you will be lighthearted about farming but expensive at the end of your career!"

Lu Chengfeng listened attentively, and everyone present was overwhelmingly opposed to this measure. All those who spoke emphasized the importance of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, and putting agriculture first. Lu Chengfeng yawned so much that he almost felt like a bird came out of his mouth.

He thought to himself, he had indeed traveled to a feudal society. People were all staring at the crops in the one-third of an acre of land, and the country had not yet opened up and emancipated their minds!

At this moment, a woman held up the hem of her skirt, climbed up the stairs, and pushed open the ajar door on the third floor. She didn't see her, but heard her voice first.

Just listen to her eloquent talk, "If there is no farming, there will be no food, if there is no work, there will be no work, if there is no business, there will be no three treasures, if there are no fish, there will be little wealth. If there is little wealth, there will be no mountains."

.These four are the source of food and clothing for the people. Therefore, it is not a matter of abandoning the basic and chasing the weak."

The people sitting on the floor were about to open their mouths to refute, but when they looked up, they all stayed where they were. There was a tense debate about to break out, but suddenly, everyone seemed to be under a spell, staring at her, speechless.

After a long time, a tea cup fell to the ground with a clang and shattered into pieces. "Fairy, fairy descended to earth!" I heard the man exclaim, staring blankly at the woman.

Lu Chengfeng followed the gazes of everyone and saw that the woman looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a face like a crown jewel and picturesque eyebrows. She was wearing a fairy-like Roland purple skirt, like a girl.

Clusters of fragrant lilac flowers came with the bright moonlight. Even the bright moon and the brightest stars in the sky could not compare with the peerless beauty of this girl!

The woman was a little shy after being stared at by everyone, and her face turned slightly red, just like the pure and flawless mutton-fat jade dyed with a touch of bright purple.

This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a stunning beauty!

Lu Chengfeng felt his heart beating wildly, as if he was possessed by a demon. He stood up slowly, couldn't stop moving towards the woman, and slowly chanted in his mouth, "The moth is like a golden thread in the snow willow, and the laughter is full of fragrance."

The crowd looked for him thousands of times, but suddenly looking back, he was there, in a dimly lit place."

The woman was also stunned, stretched out her hands and made a "stop" gesture, as if a spring breeze came suddenly overnight, and the peach blossoms began to bloom on her face, which was so beautiful and breathtaking.

"I'm riding the wind on the lower road. Can I be lucky enough to hear my lady's name?"

Feng bowed deeply to him.

"If you can win this debate today, I will tell you what to say." The girl said sternly, the red glow on her face disappeared in an instant, and the panel that was specially boarded up showed another beautiful scene.

There is a beauty as cold as ice.

"No problem!" Lu Chengfeng clapped his hands, turned to face the crowd, and talked:

"Confucian scholars in the world do not pay attention to it, and regard industry and commerce as the last priority, and they make arrogant suggestions to suppress it. If Gonggu Gushengwang wants to come, and businessmen want to go out of their way, it is the foundation. There are those who work for the Buddha, and there are those who are doing it.

Those who use witchcraft to sell goods, some people use goods to encourage people to worry about, and some people use goods to use strange skills and tricks, all of which are not beneficial to the people. However, those who benefit the people and enrich their financial resources can often use tens of millions of money and circulate it endlessly. The workman wants to consolidate the saints.

Wherever the king wants to go, merchants are the foundation of everything. Therefore, promoting commerce and trade is a great strategy that benefits the country and the people, and it should be promoted throughout the country!"

Everyone was stunned. After thinking about it, this statement was very reasonable. For a moment, no one refuted it!

"Well said!" Old Master Xu took the lead in applauding, his love for talents arose spontaneously, and he said with a smile, "This young master can have such shocking insights at a young age. He must be a talented person who can be put to great use!

I wonder which young master it is?"

"He is the son of Prince Mian, the grandson of Emperor Lu Chengfeng!" Wu Jingmo also cheered loudly. When he heard that the scholar was interested, he proudly announced his name.

"It turns out he is the grandson of the emperor! I, Dajing, have a promising future!" Old Master Xu clasped his hands in front of his chest and said piously.

Lu Chengfeng felt a little embarrassed when he praised him. He just quoted the words of sages. It seems that liberal arts students in the 21st century don’t memorize all the books for free! At critical moments, it still works! Especially for Bona Beauty.

With a smile, even if I were asked to tell stories here for three days and three nights, I would be willing!

"Sir, can I be considered to have won today's debate?" Lu Chengfeng bowed humbly to Old Master Xu three times and asked impatiently.

"Of course!" Old Master Xu smiled in agreement. As soon as he smiled, his two small eyes bent into two slits and became even smaller.

"Miss, can you tell me your name now?" Lu Chengfeng bowed deeply to the girl again.

But I saw the woman holding up the hem of her skirt, turned around in a hurry, and ran away like a panicked little elk.
