Chapter 35: Convincing People with Virtue

"This is Master Kong, the most holy teacher of Dacheng?"

He does not wear loose clothes and belt, stands with his hands folded, and has the image of a kind and pious scholar. This tall and mighty man is more like a general than the quiet and elegant Sun Wu. Not to mention, with a sword in his hand, his swordsmanship is even more impressive to Yue women.

Sideways glance.

It's not that his swordsmanship is superb, but that there is a charm in his swordsmanship.

In the Xianwu Dahan, the Six Arts of the Gentleman, Ritual, Music, Shooting, and Shushu are six powerful magical powers, each with its own specialty.

Gu Cheng opened the twelve volumes of Tianshu and accommodated them. Confucianism had the largest number of disciples. After all, the Han Dynasty had deposed hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism and Taoism for hundreds of years. It could not be changed in a short time.

However, no matter how many people study, they will inevitably stop at techniques. Only by reaching the realm of a great Confucian can some true meaning be displayed.

But it will never be possible to restore the original pursuit.

But now the Taoist charm in Confucius' sword is extremely pure, symbolizing his pursuit.

The original concepts of Confucianism, the education of rituals and music, and the rule of law, are all rooted in the word "virtue".

The way is based on virtue, and the order is based on etiquette. It extends from the king's personal virtue to political virtue. The ruler guides the people with his own normative behavior and achieves the goal of transforming the people into customs.

To put it bluntly, if the rulers are benevolent and virtuous, the officials and the people will be educated and become gentlemen, and the world will naturally be peaceful.

Is it possible?

Naturally impossible.

But many of the ideas in it are worth learning.

In fact, this is true for hundreds of schools of thought. Their respective pursuits are too perfect and cannot be fully realized, but they have been passed down for centuries and influenced the process of civilization.

"Young master is interested in Confucius? Before he came to Chu, he stayed in the state of Qi. With his eloquence, he was treated with courtesy by the king of Qi, and he even became a good friend of Qi Prime Minister Yan Ying. What happened?"

Seeing Gu Cheng's eyes falling on Confucius and looking at him carefully, the old man sneered and said disdainfully: "Yan Ying personally gave advice to Lord Qi, saying that Confucius only valued etiquette and law, did not care about production, did not value practical work, and had nothing to do with the country and the people.

It was useless, so Confucius left Qi in despair, and now he comes to lobby the king again..."

The old man knew very well that he was a domestic slave, and even if he relied on Fei Wuji's power and power, he would not be able to get on the stage.

But he brought up Yan Ying, the prime minister of Qi, who was a wise prime minister of the generation. He looked down upon Confucius, which showed that Confucius was really incompetent.

Speaking of Yan Ying, he was also an old rival of the Chu people. Yan Zi was sent to Chu. Because of his short stature, the King of Chu deliberately opened a small hole next to the city gate as an insult. However, he cleverly criticized him as a messenger to the dog country.

Entering through the dog door only results in opening the door.

In addition, there is Nan Ju and Bei Zhi. Although Chu people are completely suppressed in terms of IQ, they admire him very much.

Gu Cheng smiled and did not comment on this.

By this time the confrontation was over.

"Master Kong!"

The man who was fighting Confucius stood there for a moment, his face changed, he was thinking about something, and then suddenly he bowed prostrate and performed the master's salute.

"this!"

Everyone in the car was stunned, why did they become apprentices?

Gu Chengze was a little bit dumbfounded.

Is this how Confucius’s three thousand disciples came to be?

Convince people with "virtue"?

Confucius put away his sword, helped the man up, glanced here, saw Fei Wuji's chariot and horse, straightened his back, and strode away.

As expected, he repaid evil with kindness and kindness with kindness, and was despised by Confucius. It is so true.

After watching Confucius leave, everyone entered Fei Wuji's mansion and began to wait.

It took a full afternoon before Fei Wuji finally arrived.

"explain!"

He has sharp eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a nose like a hanging gallbladder, and three strands of slight beard under his chin. He is actually a good-looking man. He sat down on the main seat and spoke calmly, showing that he was not angry and proud.

As the commander-in-chief of the three most powerful countries in the world and the title of prime minister, Fei Wuji was willing to spend a cup of tea to meet the royal family of a small country at the bottom of the world just for Gongsun Long's sake.

Gu Cheng spread his fingers, and the light and shadow of a miniature Qingming Boat appeared. It rotated up and down, and then enlarged inside to show the details vividly.

Fei Wuji watched expressionlessly, until Gu Cheng said the next sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up: "This thing is called Qingming Boat, it can carry ten people, travel through Qingming, and soar in the universe. Can your Majesty Yin take my place for me?"

Jiang Guo, are you selling this boat in the Chu region?"

Fei Wuji immediately asked: "What's the price?"

Gu Chengdao: "Our Jiang State is weak and has been invaded by Chen and Yang for many years. I want to use this boat in exchange for Chu State's powerful crossbows!"

The Chu crossbow is a sharp weapon that the Chu people are proud of. It was first originated from the Qin family of the Chu state. It uses the fire spirit as the arrow and the thunder spirit as the string. Its explosive power is so strong that even the powerful armies of Jin and Qi retreated from it.

Just imagine that the world of the Ming Dynasty was just about high martial arts. The Wushuang Divine Crossbow in Wushuang City played a decisive role on the battlefield, let alone the powerful crossbow in the world of Immortal Martial Arts that could make the same great powers fearful.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a legion equipped with such powerful crossbows formed a military formation of hundreds of people, a fierce general like Qing Ji would surely die if they came face to face with them.

Of course, this is an important weapon of the country. Although Fei Wuji was moved, he did not dare to agree casually: "How many flying boats do you have?"

Gu Chengdao: "Thirty ships!"

Fei Wuji shook his head slightly: "Too few!"

Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Things are rare and valuable. If this thing can be seen everywhere, it will not be able to reflect the noble status of the noble minister!"

Fei Wuji asked again: "How many Chu crossbows do you want?"

Gu Chengdao: "Don't ask for anything extravagant, just tens of thousands!"

Fei Wuji nodded. There were only tens of thousands of them, so it was not difficult to do it with his power.

And exchanging 10,000 powerful crossbows for 30 Green Underworld Boats is a huge profit no matter how you look at it. This is also in line with the position of a small country being exploited by a big country.

“It’s a deal!”

It took only half a cup of tea to achieve such a harvest. Fei Wuji's facial lines softened and he said to the old man: "Enter these distinguished guests. I am busy with work, so I will excuse you for now!"

"please!"

Everyone stood up to see each other off. When the old man knew that his master was delighted, he also smiled and became more enthusiastic and held a banquet.

Just as the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, Fan Li stepped forward to propose a toast: "The harvest in Jiang State is not good, and I would like to purchase some grain and grass. I wonder if it would be convenient for you, sir?"

The old man was half drunk, but he was not confused at all. His eyes were focused: "Spiritual food?"

Fan Li said: "No, it's just miscellaneous grains, used by the people for daily life!"

The old man said oh, smiled again, and took out a token: "Based on the market price, you can go ahead and buy it!"

Fan Li raised his hand and said, "Thank you very much!"

A trivial matter was completed in the process of pushing a cup and changing a cup. After the first order was placed, the news was sent back to Jiang Guo, and Lu Miaozi immediately rushed to work and prepared for the handover.

This kind of business, which both parties thought was very profitable, was really carried out with great force. In just one month, Chu State's 10,000 powerful crossbows were transported to Jiang State and placed in front of Lu Miaozi, who started to dismantle and imitate them, and Qing Mingzhou even more

It started to become popular in Chudi.

A mere thirty ships were sold in ten batches by Fei Wuji. Only three ships were sold each time, but they became more expensive each time, making a lot of money. However, the rarer they became, the more they were snatched up by the family members.

With Qing Mingzhou showing off, his reputation gradually spread to all directions.

Fan Li Wenzhong took the opportunity to move around and lay the groundwork to open up business routes in the future.

However, on this day, just as they left the house, they were stopped.

Not long after, Solanum Solanum ran in and complained angrily: "Brother Wang, that Confucius is blocking the door and preaching!"

Gu Cheng put down the book and said with great interest: "Is he going to convince others with his virtue again?"
