Wen Renxi appeared in the mansion with a smile on his face. The servants at home saw his injuries and hurriedly called Doctor Jinshang for him. He was not seriously injured, so why not show mercy? He was just scratched.
It was just a small cut. After applying the medicine, there was no pain at all. However, Dr. Jinshang still advised him on many things.
"This reward..." Doctor Jinshang asked with a smile.
Wen Renxi's face twitched and he waved his hand. The servant just escaped from where he didn't know how much money he had. He asked: "How much is the reward?". Doctor Jin Zhang said: "Wen Renxi is a famous person in the world. He only takes the medicine money.
Fifteen dollars..."
The other party had said so, so he had no choice but to give it to him. He took the money from the slave's hand, calculated it, and said somewhat generously: "Fifteen dollars can't make you a white doctor. Come on, then."
I’ll give you an extra dollar, sixteen dollars!”
Doctor Jinshang smiled awkwardly, thanked Wen Renxi, took the money, and left in a hurry.
Wen Renxi looked at the departing Doctor Jinshang with some distress, and picked up the sword at his waist. His expression just improved a little, and he laughed again. His servants were accustomed to his unstable temperament, so they ignored him.
Picking up the sword, he slowly walked into the study. Ma Jun was still reading. When he saw his master walking in, he quickly bowed to him.
Wen Renxi did not let him see his injuries. He knelt down in front of him and began to examine his homework again. Ma Jun answered seriously. With such a smart disciple, in the future, his knowledge will not be afraid of having no successors.
, Wen Renxi was secretly happy, and the two of them asked and answered questions in the study. After a long time, Wen Renxi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad!"
"Teacher...Teacher...Master, today, could it be that we have...already...succeeded?"
Ma Jun was quite happy to see Wen Renxi and asked with some doubts.
Wen Renxi was stunned, coughed, and said, "Although I didn't succeed, Mr. He will definitely come to me!" Ma Jun didn't know why the master was so sure. Wen Renxi looked at the sword in his hand.
, but thinking about how to act.
The emperor was still hesitating. He always felt that the emperor seemed to be afraid of something. He was always a little afraid of places like Jizhou, Hebei. Maybe it was because he was born there? Or, there was something there that made the emperor afraid.
A feared celebrity?
Previously, whether it was the construction of Chidao in Luoyang or the Yangzhou Canal, he readily agreed. However, when it came to the construction of Chidao in Hebei, the emperor kept delaying the matter by saying that corvee work should not be easily carried out.
, until he proposed to capture the natives as labor, the emperor agreed. He felt that He Xiu seemed to know something, otherwise, the emperor would not let him get He Xiu's support.
If He Xiu agrees, the emperor may feel at ease and agree.
Wen Renxi still couldn't figure it out. The land of Hebei had been safe and sound for a long time. What made the emperor so hesitant?
He was still talking to Ma Jun when suddenly there was a noise outside the house. Wen Renqi frowned, why did he arrive? However, he did not expect that the other party would arrive so quickly. Wen Renqi stood up and straightened his clothes.
, he knew that this great Confucian hated disheveled people the most in his life. Whenever the emperor lost his composure, he would always be scolded by him. He slowly walked out of the study.
Sure enough, He Xiu was in the courtyard, holding a sword in one hand, looking at the slaves, and yelling fiercely.
"He Gong? Didn't we agree that we won't get into trouble anymore? Why are you here?"
Wen Renxi asked seriously.
"What a thief, you took away my sword, and you still ask me why I came here??"
"Shameless person!" He Xiu was furious and cursed sternly.
"Hahaha, it turns out it's for the sword. I almost forgot. Come, sit down and have tea first. I'll have someone personally deliver it to your mansion later." Wenren said with a smile.
"I don't want to sit with a thief like you!!"
Just as Wen Renxi was about to speak, someone beside him said angrily: "You...you...how dare...dare...dare...to insult my teacher??! Old...old...thief!"
Wen Renxi was stunned, but did not look back. Ma Jun behind him stared angrily at He Xiu, his words were still awkward, but his expression was very firm. He stared at He Xiu, his legs were shaking a little, and He Xiu was also stunned. He stopped and looked at Ma Jun with some surprise. He Xiu took a few steps away and stood in front of Ma Jun with a solemn expression. However, He Xiu burst out laughing and said, "This boy should imitate Gongyang!"
Regarding the fact that he was insulting him, He Xiu was not angry at all, but was very happy. He respected his teacher and drew his sword when his teacher was insulted. What a good boy, he admired in his heart, looked at Wen Renxi again, and Somewhat helpless, I just followed the wrong master. He Xiu pondered for a moment, looked at Wen Renxi, and asked: "Why do you want to focus on building the canal?"
"I once had the honor to have a long conversation with Wang Jiexin holding a candle..."
"He has great ambitions. I hope to see that the prosperous age he described to me is still far from enough, far from enough!"
He Xiu squinted his eyes, looked around, and said: "Take the sword and bring it to my house!" After saying that, he walked towards the door. He was stunned when he heard the attack, and suddenly he was overjoyed and picked it up. He picked up his sword and followed him. Just as He Xiu was about to walk out, he turned back, looked at Xiao Ma Jun, and said, "Take him with you too. I'll take a look at your disciple's knowledge..."
Ma Jun was a little confused about the situation. He raised his head and looked at Wen Renxi. Wen Renxi waved his hand and he followed him. He Xiu walked a little slowly. A few days ago, he even reached the point where he could only use a hand. The condition of walking with a stick has only improved in the past few days, but Wen Renxi followed him from a distance, maintaining respect for him. Ma Jun on the side asked in a low voice: "He won't...will...will... He wants to trick us into going to his house, and then kill...people...and silence them?"
He Xiu, who was walking in front, paused and cleared his throat. Ma Jun immediately lowered his head and almost laughed out loud at the attack.
When he arrived at He Xiu's mansion, He Xiu said to his servant: "Thank you behind closed doors. In addition, no one is allowed to approach the study!"
The servant nodded, Ma Jun was a little confused and said: "What...is...what is it..."
"Hey, kill someone and silence them!" He Xiu said viciously, and Ma Jun was startled.
He Xiu ignored him and led Wen Ren into the study.
The two sat facing each other again. He Xiu thought for a moment and then asked: "If we start building the canal, will the cultivated land on both sides of the bank be damaged?"
"Some areas will be temporarily damaged, but the completion of the canal construction will do more good than harm and will benefit both sides."
"Then if a large number of laborers flow into Jizhou and other places, will it make the place uneasy and cause unrest?"
"These laborers were working in Youzhou before, and they didn't dare to cause any turmoil. How can they do it in Jizhou!"
"If someone has bad intentions and recruits these laborers, do they have malicious intentions towards the big man and have bad intentions?"
Wen Renxi was stunned, thought for a moment, and then said: "Who can use these natives to cause chaos?? The Northern Army of the Han Dynasty took out a battalion and wiped out all these natives! No one was left!"
