The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1707

[1707. Chapter 1623 Only those who study well]

those who are good at reading Zhou Tanzhi spoke from the bottom of his heart.

At first, he despised Fang Jifan, so he made all kinds of sarcasm.

From then on, he hated Fang Jifan, because if it weren’t for Fang Jifan, he would have ended up like this.

But now… In the past few months, he had gritted his teeth and hated it to the core of his pig-raising experience. But slowly, he became indifferent, and later he carefully found a way out of it.

Zhou Tanzhi, on the other hand, realized something more profound. Isn’t the process of raising pigs the new process of integrating knowledge and action?

The more he understands the pig’s habits, the more he discovers that those principles are not useless. The principles are deep in the heart and are people’s conscience. But to truly accomplish something, you need to practice it.

His life has changed.

Just like his mind, it has also changed.

Therefore, his words were extremely sincere.

Even… he had a strange feeling. If it weren’t for Fang Jifan, maybe… he would never be able to figure out this truth. Like everyone who only talks about it, he achieves self-satisfaction through a sense of superiority that is different from others.

But how sad it would be to spend human life like this.

Raising pigs… was ridiculed, but it allowed him to discover an unusual path.

Fang Jifan was also satisfied and finally showed a knowing smile.

He nodded to Zhou Tanzhi and said: “It’s rare for you to understand this truth, but you always say that you have learned the new knowledge of our Fang Jifan. Our Fang Jifan has always been a reasonable and conscientious person. He is our Jifan’s The knowledge belongs to our Fang Jifan, not our Fang Jifan, and I will never pretend to be someone else. This new knowledge was learned by my disciple Wang Bo’an. If you want to be grateful, then go ahead and thank him. “

After listening to Fang Jifan’s words .

, Zhou Tanzhi couldn’t help but look at Fang Jifan with admiration.

No wonder those disciples were so devoted to Duke Qi. He clearly had the ability to understand the world, but he couldn’t show it all to others. Instead, he gave all these great principles and knowledge to his disciples.

Others are eager to use other people’s knowledge for their own use, eager to bear this false reputation and leave a name in history.

But Qi Guogong only felt that this reputation and this great knowledge were a burden to him. I’m afraid it would be difficult to find such a person from ancient times to the present.

When Zhou Tanzhi noticed one of Fang Jifan’s advantages, countless advantages began to shine.

So Zhou Tanzhi said sincerely: “The student is raising pigs this time, which is unprecedented. It is only done by the student alone. It is not easy to do it. The student is so shameless today that he came here to ask the Duke of Qi.”

Fang Jifan said lightly: ” Let me hear what you say.”

Fang Jifan still had a calm and calm look on his face, but he couldn’t help but be wary. He was really being courteous for nothing. I asked you why you knelt on the ground and refused to get up when you saw me.

Zhou Tanzhi said: “I hope the students can borrow some manpower from Qi Guogong.”

Fang Jifan: “…”

This request is unexpected.

“There are already several students… Jiang Wen of the Tuntian Guard, Chen Ya of the Tuntian Guard, Wang Jian of the Agricultural College, Agricultural College…”

He named many names in one breath.

Fang Jifan was confused.

Fang Jifan didn’t know much about these people. Of course, he kept smiling and looked mysterious.

“You want them to raise pigs with you? How do you know that they are talented in this area?”

Zhou Tanzhi said: “In the past few months, students have been paying attention to the weekly magazine, and many of them have published papers, and Duke Qi, please rest assured that those who are beneficial to pig farming will be kept in mind. If these people are willing to deign to come, the students will be willing to give them some shares. The treatment will be extremely generous and they will never suffer. With the help of these people, Only then can this workshop be completed.”

As he spoke, he introduced everything in detail.

Jiang Wen has great experience in treating livestock diseases. Chen Ya is the author of the guide to raising pigs and getting rich. As for Wang Jianren and others, they are even more accomplished.

Zhou Tanzhi naturally knew that such a big thing, such a large amount of funds, and the scale of pig farming must be rare.

There are still many problems to be solved in large-scale pig farming. This is not something he can do alone.

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but take a good look at Zhou Tanzhi. He was indeed the one who had done his homework the best, and he was very attentive.

Fang Jifan smiled and said, “I’ll think about this again. Of course, it’s mainly their own wishes. If they are interested, how can I stop them?”

‘Yes, yes. “Seeing that Fang Jifan had no objection, Zhou Tanzhi immediately showed gratitude.

…

Soon, the news spread throughout the streets.

Several students from the Agricultural College and the captain of the Tuntian Guard were extremely

As soon as the news came out, countless people were amazed because the treatment was really generous.

Not

only did each person have 50,000 taels of silver in shares, but the annual salary was as high as 1,000 taels. Silver.

How much money is this…

You know, the vast majority of people in this world only have two or three taels of silver per month, and those with higher salaries only have ten or twenty taels of silver.

But these few people.

It’s good

to get rich overnight.

People couldn’t help but start making tut-tsk sounds.

Look at the people who have studied and gone to high school in Xishan Academy. Which one comes out and is not a talent? What’s the point of being named on the gold list? The imperial court’s salary is not much money. What’s more, even the eight-part essay selection process has been cancelled. I heard that the method of selecting officials through examinations may be adopted.

In this way, if you can go to Xishan Academy in high school, this is your real ability. You will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life and a bright future.

………

At this time, countless Confucian scholars were following the caravan heading west. Some were alone, carrying bags on their backs, and some were carrying their families and traveling all the way to the west.

Among them, there are naturally a lot of tears to say goodbye, and naturally, there are also many calls for friends.

Ming Dynasty can no longer give them anything.

Some people had to fend for themselves, while others still cursed but had no choice but to leave their homes.

King Suleiman asked for talents several times, and if he was a talented scholar, he would immediately put him to good use regardless of the style.

As soon as this order for seeking talents came out.

In addition, some of the letters brought back by the Ottoman Confucian scholars talked about how Suleiman respected Confucianism and treated Confucian scholars with courtesy. This… is nothing more than a ray of light for scholars who are trapped in darkness. .

At this point, it seems many people have no choice.

Half of the Analects’ ambition to rule the world could no longer be realized in the Ming Dynasty.

Might as well… go to Ottoman.

On this normally unpopulated business road, many footprints of Confucian scholars began to appear.

They set out with the ideal of creating a peaceful world for saints.

For them, Ottoman is an ideal place, the country of sages they long for. Along the way, the Confucian scholars vividly talked about the prosperity of Ottoman and the virtuous leader of the country. Every time they spoke, At this time, each other can see the longing for each other.

Waiting for their mighty team, they arrived at Yumen Pass covered with dust.

After stepping out of Yumen Pass, and not long after passing through a grassland, you can reach the Ottoman border.

The guards at Yumen Pass will personally send people to escort them out of the country.

At this moment, in addition to feeling a little homesick, they were more yearning for Osman.

When they finally crossed a grassland with difficulty and entered the Ottoman border, it was said that this was a large city of the Ottoman Empire, an important place in the west, and the most prosperous commercial port.

But… looking at the yellow sand in the sky, looking at the low city wall made of solid loess.

Looking at countless people in ragged clothes.

They are a little confused.

This…is this Osman?
