Sun Hao studied hard all night and finally found the answer in Shen Yanqing's notes.
"Developing military power can maintain national stability and resist external invasion... develop the economy internally. Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can the country prosper..."
Mr. Wei listened to his eloquent talk, and his arguments were well-founded and full of insights, and he was somewhat satisfied with him.
"You are right."
He had never heard of Sun Hao's point of view. In addition to developing military affairs, he also developed business.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen have always been at the bottom and are not respected by the world, but they also play a huge role in the development of the country. When the economy develops, people live a prosperous life, and the country will be more stable.
Mr. Wei's previous view was from top down, and the survival of the people was insignificant, but now the view I heard is from the bottom up, putting the people first.
He didn't think the people were very important before, but when he thought about it carefully, water can carry a boat or capsize it, and the people are the foundation of a country.
Mr. Wei was immersed in the article for a long time and could not come back to his senses. As if he had found a treasure, he felt his chest was stirring and his blood was rising.
"You're fine!"
Sun Hao was suddenly praised. The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He couldn't help but feel proud on his face. Mr. Wei swallowed back his original intention of accepting a disciple.
Although this student is extremely talented, he has a weak character. His hasty acceptance of a disciple will only increase his arrogance. It is better to wait until the autumn period is over and then take the first or second exams in the school.
So Sun Hao originally thought that the matter was a sure thing, but he ran into trouble again. He came out of Mr. Wei's room, confused.
what is going on?
It was clear that he was about to relent, but then changed his mind. Sun Hao was puzzled, but the news that he wanted to become a disciple still spread.
Everyone in the academy had been watching to see who would take Mr. Wei's name, but this candidate was a huge disappointment.
"It seems that Mr. Wei has a false reputation. He has taken a fancy to Sun Hao, a careless dandy. He is not as knowledgeable as I am. If he wants to accept a disciple, he must be Brother Shen. I think he is blind. He is wrong.
Fish eyes are like pearls!”
Xu Ziwen had just argued with others, his face was red with anger, his mouth was bulging like a toad with red eyes, and he was breathing heavily.
"Brother Xu, be careful. Mr. Wei has his own reasons for liking him." Shen Yanqing didn't take the apprenticeship seriously.
First of all, he didn't know Mr. Wei's origins, and secondly, he didn't know Mr. Wei's talents. What if it was true that Xu Ziwen said that he was just a person seeking fame and reputation.
"Hey, it's his loss if he doesn't accept you anyway..."
Xu Ziwen was still aggrieved, why did he fall in love with this bastard Sun Hao?
"My wife is making boiled pork slices today. If it's too late, you won't be able to eat them."
Shen Yanqing saw that Xu Ziwen was always angry and diverted his attention with delicious food.
Sure enough, when he heard that there was something delicious, Xu Ziwen immediately put Sun Hao out of his mind.
"Go, go, go!"
"What kind of dish is boiled pork slices? Is it better than duck blood vermicelli soup?" He likes duck blood vermicelli the most, but Jiang Miao only made it that one time, and he couldn't forget it after eating it.
"Brother Shen, tell your sister-in-law to make duck blood vermicelli soup again tomorrow. I didn't eat enough last time."
Xu Ziwen licked his face and begged Shen Yanqing. Jiang Miao listened to him the most. She would definitely do what Shen Yanqing said.
If Jiang Miao knew what was in his heart, he would be beaten hard. What gave him the illusion that Xu Ziwen had such a big misunderstanding of her.
"Would you like to eat it?"
Shen Yanqing decisively refused. Jiang Miao would do whatever she wanted, and he would not forcefully interfere with her.
"Hey, I didn't expect that Brother Shen is also a strict wife!"
Xu Ziwen wailed and was about to lean on him. Shen Yanqing strode away, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly.
Well, the wife is strict, Jiang Miao is his wife, and he is willing to listen to Jiang Miao.
So Shen Yanqing was standing in front of the stall. Jiang Miao looked up and saw his hot and sticky eyes, not knowing why.
Shen Yanqing, are you sick again?
"My husband is hungry, please eat quickly."
Jiang Miao served him a large bowl of rice with a lot of meat on it. Xu Ziwen looked at it with greed.
"Sister-in-law, please give me some more meat."
"Give."
Jiang Miao was so funny that she took another piece from the pot for him. Xu Ziwen happily took it, but Shen Yanqing gave him a sharp look.
Xu Ziwen chuckled, he didn't care what Brother Shen thought of him, the best thing is when the meat is in your mouth.
"Hiss! So numb and spicy, so enjoyable!"
The taste of Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers spread in his mouth. Xu Ziwen's taste buds were conquered at once, and he couldn't help but devour it. The bowl of rice was devoured in an instant.
"Sister-in-law, you can still make these boiled pork slices tomorrow."
He burped, and if he hadn't been full, he would have had another bowl.
"Tsk, someone was thinking about duck blood fans just now."
Shen Yanqing looked disgusted. How could anyone change his mind so quickly?
"My sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious, isn't it difficult for me to choose?"
Xu Ziwen is thick-skinned and is not annoyed even if he is teased. Moreover, what he said is right. Every dish Jiang Miao cooks is so delicious that it makes people swallow their tongues.
"Um."
Shen Yanqing nodded in agreement. Jiang Miao was so amused that she narrowed her eyes. Shen Yanqing's cold appearance turned out to be a foodie.
"Dean."
It suddenly became quiet in front of the noisy stall, and the students eating stopped to say hello to Dean Qiu.
"You eat, don't worry about me." He went out to eat with Mr. Wei today.
I don't know what's so special about the food at this stall. It can make Mr. Wei eat it for half a month without getting tired of it. He has to try it today.
"Old man, it's yours."
Jiang Miao filled two bowls of rice and handed them to the two of them respectively.
Dean Qiu looked at Mr. Wei's bowl full of meat and felt unbalanced.
"Little lady, why do you give him more meat while I only have so little?"
"The old man has a big appetite and paid more money. Our stall is fair and impartial and we will never treat him differently."
Jiang Miao explained with a smile, and the other students nodded. As long as you pay an extra penny, you can get a few more pieces of meat. This is a rule set early in the morning.
Dean Qiu gave up and picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. It was spicy, fragrant and smooth. It was paired with refreshing green vegetables and rice soaked in soup, which made people want to eat it.
He finally understood why Mr. Wei said that the food in the academy was not for human consumption. Compared with the food at this stall, he felt that all he had eaten before was pig food.
Why didn't he discover this delicious food earlier? Dean Qiu devoured it and felt full of regret.
"Mr. Wei is indeed right, these boiled pork slices are very delicious!"
He took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, praising Jiang Miao.
Jiang Miao was completely stunned.
What... what the hell!
"Mr. Wei?"
"Why, the little lady doesn't know Mr. Wei yet?"
Dean Qiu had a kind smile on his face. Mr. Wei couldn't stand his complacency, so he turned around and left. Dean Qiu quickly followed.
"The young lady just now is actually Shen Yanqing's daughter-in-law. He is very talented and outstanding in the academy. I didn't expect that he would marry a wife who is also very capable."
Mr. Wei frowned when he heard his name.
"Why was he not included in the homework that was sent to me last time?"
