Chapter 479: The Pen of God (Monthly Pass)
After hearing Chen Kaizhi's words, Liu Xian nodded with emotion, as if he thought Chen Kaizhi's words made sense. He used to be the chief clerk, and unlike those who were tall and above the temple, he naturally knew that not to mention poor families, even for the wealthy families, letting their children study was a huge burden.
But with such a huge burden, it is too difficult to study hard. Not to mention a Jinshi or a Juren, even if you want to be a scholar, it is difficult. If you don’t have enough benefits, you can just say that you can learn from your studies and understand the truth. What’s the use of it?
At this time, Chen Kaizhi said again: "So, if you want to do anything in the world, you have to tempt it to benefit and give people real benefits. In this way, there is no need to preach, and everyone will naturally be willing to do it with all their hearts. Just like on this mountain, people who can read can have visible benefits, like Wu Wei, who can be a foreman, and have forty taels of silver a year. In this way, everyone is willing to work hard to read and read."
"After reading and learning, people start to have ideas, but don't underestimate this idea. People who don't study are the most at ease, because their horizons are limited to one place for a lifetime, and it is difficult to have any ambition. It's good to have enough food. But after reading, they will live a better life, and they will no longer focus on the level of food and clothing, but want to do a bigger career."
Liu Xian said in surprise: "But... the so-called people can be used to do it, but not to know it. If everyone is timid, who will work in the future and who will be a slave on the mountain in peace and comply with himself?"
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile and said, "Have you ever thought about one thing? How big is this Feiyu Peak? It's only a few miles in a radius. This place is the size of a palm, and it's just a village. If I put it here and put it outside, I'm just a rich man in the village. Although I own the land of a village and the people of a village, what can I do?"
"But people are more important than elites. Population is second. The most important thing is to cultivate talents. They are reading and literate. If they are really capable of participating in the imperial examination, they will be allowed to do so. But I think that if they are still far from participating in the imperial examination, they can still understand iron smelting, animal husbandry, and planting after reading. So, why not guide them to think and better smelting iron and animal husbandry?"
"In fact, as long as they are given a hope, they will continue to work hard in this direction. If iron smelting can become a talent, they will naturally be willing to think about how to better smelting iron. I have placed many books in the library, enough for them to work hard to read, learn principles, and improve the technology in the future. These talents can play a greater value."
Chen Kaizhi explained patiently. Liu Xian actually didn't understand Chen Kaizhi's vision, but after thinking about it carefully, this young master has a rich family property anyway, so he naturally has the conditions to try it. What he can do is just follow his instructions and do his best to do what the young master ordered.
After thinking about it, he laughed and said, "Speaking of this, a Shanzhuang opened at the foot of the mountain today, which was really lively. Many people in the capital went there. When the villain heard that the people who bought in the mountains came back, even King Zhao went there himself. In addition, there were many sect kings. Because there were too many people, Jingzhao Mansion personally allocated people to maintain order."
Chen Kaizhi said in surprise: "Why is a small Shanzhuang so powerful? The owner of this Shanzhuang has too deep background."
This is not deep, it is simply amazing. A shop opened, not to mention that Jingzhao Mansion sent people to congratulate him, even if one of the Jingzhao Mansions was headed, it would be considered as a shameless face. However, so many sect kings and officials went to join in the fun, and even the powerful King Zhao of the dynasty went there. This is no longer as simple as a deep background.
Liu Xian quickly resolved Chen Kaizhi's doubts and said, "Young Master, the owner of this Shanzhuang is Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang is famous all over the world. I don't know how many people bow to him. It is said that His Highness Zheng even personally invited him to live in the Zheng Palace. However, Mr. Fang is a noble man. He does not seek fame and fortune, and regards money as dirt. The only thing he cares about is the displaced poor people. It is because of this that he opened such a Shanzhuang, raising money and showing kindness. Alas... Mr. Fang's virtue is really admirable. Such a great sage is probably difficult to produce one in a century. Today, Shanzhuang has started to serve porridge. Countless refugees are grateful and regard Mr. Fang as their parents."
Damn...
My master uncle has become a great charity?
Chen Kaizhi suddenly felt drunk, but after thinking about it carefully, this step was really wonderful.
Uncle Wucai is now famous, and countless people want to take this opportunity to win him over. When he took this opportunity, when Shanzhuang opened, countless people were willing to donate money. On the one hand, he bought a good reputation. On the other hand, Mr. Fang has a good relationship with several sect kings, so everyone must also want to take this opportunity to show off in front of the sect kings.
Even the royal princes were like this?
This has solved the wealth of my uncle. Otherwise, if people admire him, they will give him some famous paintings and jewelry. Although this thing is good, it is not easy to cash in. Now, it is better, and it is real money and silver, and it is safe and unrestrained.
God knows how much money I have to deduct, but even with his nature, he loses most of his greed, he still has a lot of money invested in Shanzhuang. He is giving porridge everywhere. Originally, such a thing that wins people's hearts will cause fear to the court, but now that there are so many sect kings who support him, will Jingzhao Mansion dare to cause trouble for him?
As a result, countless people thanked him for his great kindness and virtue, and his fame became increasingly greater.
While making money, he will gain fame. At that time, this pseudonymist will take it as a real person, and it can't be true anymore. Even if someone finds something in the future, who dares to question the rejection of the school waiter and raises donations everywhere to help the poor people is a pseudonymist?
I was afraid that I didn’t need my uncle to smash his dog’s head, and countless people had already sprayed him to death with their spit.
Whenever Chen Kaizhi thinks of my uncle, he can only accept his words, but he will not be able to accept it. Not only will he be convinced, but he is also impressed. Every time, my uncle has a stroke of knowledge. He saw with his own eyes that a greedy, lazy, and unstudying master has come to this day. This really benefited Chen Kaizhi a lot.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but say, "Is his donation enough?"
"Not enough, people who went down the mountain to buy it saw it. There were red papers on the front door and many signs were hung. King Zhao donated 50,000 taels, King Zheng 30,000 taels and so on. Think about it, King Zhao paid silver. The King Zhao was so arrogant that he was a clinging to his subordinates. Who dared not to give it? It is said that the price was clearly marked. The Minister of the House was 1,000 taels and the Minister of the Secretariat decreased in turn. These were light. The real wealthy ones were the princes. The Duke and the Marquis didn't join in the fun, so they gave it to more or less. There were also many wealthy families who were already tempted by others. Thinking of Mr. Fang being so popular with so many princes and ministers, who didn't want to flatter him? I heard that one of them was named Wang An, and he donated 20,000 taels of silver directly."
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but shivered. It is said that technology is the primary productive force. With the improvement of the process, he always felt that he had a treasure pot at home. Now it seems that Uncle Wucai is the King of the Mountain, and this fool is the primary productive force.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but feel a little sad, but Liu Xian smiled when he said this: "But the villain doubted whether Mr. Fang had a quarrel with the Prince of Beihai."
"Hmm? How can I explain this?" Chen Kaizhi was surprised. Didn't the Prince of Beihai always have a good relationship with Master Wucai so much that he was wearing a pair of pants?
At this time, Liu Xian said: "This time, it is rumored that His Highness, Prince Beihai, only donated 5,000 taels. It turns out that everyone thought that he should give at least 30,000."
When Chen Kaizhi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, but suddenly he realized it.
He shook his head and said, "You don't know. This Prince of Beihai is said to be unprofitable in financial management and is usually extravagant. Now he is just an empty strait. He has nothing in the treasury. He still owes more than 100,000 taels of silver in the money house outside. He can give five thousand yuan, probably he is already gritting his teeth."
Liu Xian suddenly realized and couldn't help but say, "No wonder, but how did the young master know?"
Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "I heard that."
Liu Xian smiled and continued, "But it is said that His Highness, the Prince of Beihai, has entered the court to observe the government. Although more than 100,000 taels of silver are scary, but after entering the court, what is the silver?" Liu Xian seemed to be quite gossipy and continued with great enthusiasm: "There are hundreds of sect kings in the world, and there are countless royal families. There are only a few people who can enter the court to observe the government. With this, there are all kinds of silver."
"That's right." Chen Kaizhi suddenly thought, uncle Wucai suddenly ran to the Zheng Palace. Could it be that he was dissatisfied with the fact that he showed mercy to the Prince of Beihai?
Not that, is he so kind?
But at this moment, the door at the foot of the mountain came up the mountain, holding a famous post in his hand, and said, "Young Master, the Zheng Wang Mansion has sent a post, saying that Mr. Fang was holding a banquet in Tianxiang Building, and asked him to go."
In fact, Chen Kaizhi was not interested in this banquet at all. But my uncle seemed to like this occasion. The last time the banquet was held by the Prince's Mansion of Beihai County, he also found it meaningless.
Chen Kaizhi wanted to refuse, but when he heard it was Tianxianglou, Chen Kaizhi thought about it and accepted the post: "Oh, I understand."
