But when the competition started, he was already the acting head of Qingshan Academy. To compete with ordinary scholars in this capacity was to bully others.
But Su Wen was different. He had only joined Qingshan Academy for less than a year, and he was not very old either. He was much younger than most of the scholars who participated in the talent promotion ceremony, so he easily won the first prize.
It's a pity that Su Wen missed the time, otherwise he would have shined.
Su Wen just smiled faintly.
His ambition is not in the court, and competitions such as the Talent Awards Ceremony are of no importance to him. He does not need the title of No. 1 or No. 1 to add glory.
"Besides... I already have a position in the factory, so it's not appropriate to take the court route." Su Wen finally said with a smile.
"What does this mean... If you don't want this identity, senior brother will go find Nangong tomorrow... he will listen."
Qingli doesn't think this is an embarrassing thing. Although he still can't defeat Nangong, he represents Qingshan Academy at this time, and Nangong must pay attention to his request. Even Qingli at this time is more talkative than money.
Haoran still works.
After all, Qian Haoran is still willing to negotiate, trade and compromise with the inner factory. But Qingli is different. He is in a sensitive period now. When he makes a request to Nangong, the first thing the inner factory has to consider is not bargaining, but consideration.
The academy represented by Qingli has no effect in speaking in front of the inner factory, and has it received the attention it deserves?
"forget it……"
Su Wen naturally understood the truth, shook his head slightly and said: "There is nothing wrong with having an internal factory status. Now I only get paid and don't work. It's a pretty good job."
During the six months since he disappeared, the factory still paid him salary and subsidies on time every month. Nangong even raised his salary in two levels, which was already twenty-five taels of silver a month.
It's just that now Su Wen doesn't pay attention to these dozens of taels of silver.
The shares of "Qingshan Daily" can bring him at least three thousand taels of income every month. This is the profit of the newspaper in the state of expansion. If the network points of Qingshan Daily are completed in various places, the rate of return on profits will definitely be even greater.
amazing.
In the six months since he disappeared, Su Wen had more than 20,000 taels of silver lying quietly in his bank account. With so much cash, he could be considered a small rich man in a prosperous place like Jiangnan Road.
.
Of course, tens of thousands of taels of silver is indeed a huge sum of money to ordinary people, but to extraordinary people, it is nothing.
Any low-sequence extraordinary material can be purchased for dozens or hundreds of taels of silver. As the sequence increases, the price of the material doubles geometrically.
When it comes to rare materials, they can no longer be purchased with gold and silver. They can only be exchanged for materials or secret medicines, or secret techniques and extraordinary items. If someone is really willing to trade with money, a decent material can easily cost dozens of dollars.
Millions of dollars of silver are often marketable but priceless.
"By the way...you still have to go back to the inner factory to report."
If he hadn't talked to Qingli about his status as an internal factory, Su Wen would have almost forgotten that he still had such a job.
"Go ahead. If you don't want to continue to be an internal factory, it's okay to tell Nangong directly."
Qingli finally said: "If he dares to say no, senior brother will go and reason with him...let him know what senior brother's name means..."
"Not to the point, not to the point of..."
Su Wen smiled bitterly.
However, when Qingli said this, Su Wen thought that Qingli's name actually had a profound meaning.
Green pine, green cypress, green chestnut.
The names of these three senior brothers actually come from "The Analects of Confucius".
At that time, Duke Ai of Lu asked Zaiwo Tutu Shrine what should be used as the tablet of the god. Zaiwo replied: "The people of the Xia Dynasty used pine, the people of Yin used cypress, and the people of Zhou used chestnuts. They said: it will make the people tremble."
The names chosen by Qian Haoran are also in line with the personalities of these three senior brothers. Qingsong has a quiet, elegant and calm personality, Qingbai has an upright personality, is restrained and resolute, and Qingli has a personality that is partly like Qingbai, but more often severe, harsh and straightforward.
People have extremely high demands on academy disciples. Many fellow apprentices respect green pine and imitate green cypress, but are afraid of green chestnut. This is the reason.
But Su Wen had a very good feeling about these three senior brothers. The three of them had always taken good care of him. Even in Qingli's eyes, they couldn't find anything wrong with him. He was a sage on the Confucian path. It was too late to take care of him, so how could he be willing to blame him?
.
…
The newly built inner factory is magnificent and does not have the shabby and gloomy feeling when Su Wen first saw it.
Nangong had no intention of not building an official office. Since he was stationed in Jiangnan Road, he had no intention of wronging himself. He allocated a large budget from the small treasury of the inner factory to carry out large-scale construction and built a magnificent government office. Compared with the governor,
The house would be several times bigger.
In the back garden of the inner factory, Nangong looked at Su Wen with a satisfied look on his face and sighed: "It'll be good to come back... I didn't expect you to achieve so much in just half a year. If I had known that, I should have gone with Cheng Zi and the others."
Return to the ruins and look for opportunities."
"It's just a fluke." Su Wen said modestly: "If I were less lucky, I might not be able to come back."
"Yeah... the situation in Guixu is not optimistic."
The two of them didn't chat for a few words before the topic turned back to Guixu.
Naturally, Nangong did not miss this great opportunity and asked Su Wen a lot about what he had seen and heard about Guixuli. When Su Wen mentioned that there were Sequence 5 and Sequence 6 extraordinary beings everywhere, his expression couldn't help but be moved.
Speaking of the battle situation in Guixuli, Nangong was more aware of it.
After all, there are many people in the Inner Factory who followed Cheng Zi's expedition back to the ruins. Qingshan Daily got the news from the meeting hall, but the spies in the Inner Factory were distributed in various fortresses in the ruins, and they would feed back the battle situation to the Inner Factory every hour.
.
As an in-house giant, you can naturally directly understand channel information no matter where you are.
After the Lord's seal returned to the ruins, the beast tide first paused for three days, and then the new beast tide swept across the fortresses even more crazily. Countless alien beasts attacked desperately, trying to exchange the massive alien beasts for the lives of extraordinary beings.
However, under the protection of Cheng Zi and many high-sequence extraordinary beings, the beast tide stopped at the last line of defense. Through the action of several sub-sage level extraordinary beings, an iron wall formation was constructed to block the beast tide's advance.
Under the barrier of the formation, the corpses abandoned by the beast tide were piled up more than ten feet high and stretched for dozens of miles. Just cleaning up the corpses abandoned by the alien beasts was a big project. After the corpses that could not be processed were left to rot,
In the end, there were several plagues. Fortunately, the extraordinary physiques of extraordinary people were very good, and there were a large number of extraordinary doctors and doctors who were in charge and developed appropriate medicines in time. Otherwise, the losses would have been even more severe.
There are also many extraordinary beings who have made breakthroughs in the battles and been promoted to higher ranks.
It was the improvement of the extraordinary beings who had reached the end of their strength that gave the blocked army hope and stabilized its morale.
It's just that for now, there is still no way to break the master's prison of the great road.
"Now Guixu has become a prison... People and supplies can be sent in, but nothing can be brought out... Fortunately, reinforcements and supplies can still get in, otherwise it would be a mess inside."
Nangong sighed with emotion.
Su Wen deeply agreed.
"If this goes on in the long run, there is no solution. Most of the bright and upright forces from well-known families have invested in Guixu... It has caused many people to have thoughts that they usually don't dare to have. Within three to five months, there will be commotion in the government and the public in various countries. I hope it won't happen.
It has become beyond control..."
Nangong and Qingli have the same worries.
"Daliang Chao...should everything be fine?"
Su Wen asked carefully.
Emperor Daliang was a powerful emperor. Even people like Qian Haoran were forced by him to stay in the back hills of the academy for thirty years. Although Legalists and Miscellaneous Schools were very popular in the court, the decrees that could be implemented were basically implemented by the emperor himself.
According to the laws enacted, all major sects were obviously suppressed.
Nowadays, the extraordinary people from famous families in the Liang Dynasty have almost no time to control Ji Changge. No matter what political decree or reform is implemented, the difficulty will be even smaller.
"Who said it's okay..."
Nangong twitched the corners of his lips and sneered: "Your Majesty likes to act domineeringly, but he can never be domineering for a long time. There were great sages assisting and admonishing him before, so that no major mistakes would be made. The reform can proceed relatively smoothly, but when these sages are gone
After returning to the ruins, those people who stayed in the temple and remained in the temple will have an opportunity. What kind of trouble will be caused is hard to say now..."
Su Wen frowned and said attentively: "Isn't that true?"
In Su Wen's eyes, Emperor Liang was a wise emperor, and the various policies he had implemented were in line with the trend of the times. In particular, Ji Changge said more than once that "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are all treated equally," which made Su Wen feel
Ji Changge was a far-sighted monarch.
Not to mention that Ji Changge had already implemented various measures such as paying the grain to the gentry as one, exempting the poll tax, rewarding farming, and supporting industry and commerce. For a period of time, Su Wen felt that the emperor of the Liang Dynasty might still be a fellow countryman with him.
.
But before meeting Ji Changge, Su Wen wasn't sure.
But he guessed that it was unlikely. Otherwise, with the resources Ji Changge had at his disposal, in this magical world, he would have embarked on an alternative technological society long ago.
"Why not? Your Majesty is indeed a wise king. However, most of the officials in the Liang Dynasty did not recognize his ways. They did many things that were both overt and covert. Those who shouted to support the reform secretly vilified, distorted and resisted.
There are countless officials who have carried out political reforms."
"All right……"
Su Wen sighed heavily.
He naturally knows that reforms will definitely offend the interests of vested interests. It is the same in any era. Vested interests are often the loudest and highest-ranking people in the court, and then down to the entire system, large and small.
All the officials benefited from the system.
The reform is to divide some of their interests, or even take away their interests. How can they support the person who is reforming, even if this person is the current emperor!
