Under the gaze of many students, Jia Cong bowed in circles, smiled at Wei Wuzhi, pinched his left wide sleeve with his right hand, and said calmly: "You guys, Brother Wei said that he is the family of Dukes, and he does not lack money, but I dare not agree. First, there are many people with wealthy families, including social schools in the village, and family money at home. Why is the money for one person? I, Jia Cong, are in the Jia family, but I am just a concubine son, like Brother Sima, and I look up and ask for the opinions of my elders and parents. Can you understand this?"

"That's right." Someone in the crowd responded, and Wei Wuzhi was not easy to argue with the facts.

"Secondly, although I am the leader of the Shanhai Alliance, the Shanhai Alliance is just a group of colleagues who share literature. I am confined to my family and Shanhai Bookstore is not mine. When doing business now, how can scholars and nobles personally make their names? Not long after the Ningguo Mansion was raided, my brother died in a bad life. How can you not hear about it? How dare I commit crimes against the wind?"

"So, according to your opinion, how to resolve this matter?" Wei Wuzhi pulled Sima Biejian.

"It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. We can save one person, but there are thousands of suffering people in the world. Who can save them one by one? Don't say to Shi Yunzi for now, but think about it, is what I said true? Everyone has their own difficulties. Think about it, can I really spend a thousand gold coins as a concubine? I think, it's not that I can't do it, but it's impossible!" Jia Cong's words were a bit ridiculous.

Someone laughed and thought that the famous Jia Zili was still interesting. Jia Cong looked at Sima Feijian and said, "Today's matter, I am a colleague and a righteous act. I am willing to donate five taels first. If you have any money, donate a few dollars per person. One step can be thousands of miles, and the river can be turned into a river and sea. Brother Sima can also overcome the difficulties this time."

"That's the way." Wang Yinglin picked up the unused clean porcelain bowl on the table. He first smuggled for Jia Cong, and then relaxed: "It's probably a few dozen taels until he fills this porcelain bowl."

Jia Cong first put five taels of broken silver, Zhang Maocai, Kuang Liuhe, and Wang Yinglin followed him, and many students also came to donate money, either copper coins or broken silver. Wei Wuzhi refused to comment, and also donated three taels. Sima Feijian did not feel ashamed at all, and bowed in all directions, crying: "The kindness of a drop of water must be repaid with a spring."

Sima Feijian left with mixed emotions.

Wei Wuzhi said without losing his demeanor: "It is impossible to tell others everything. My cousin Luo Guoqi is indeed wrong, but the cause of death is not unclear. Jia Shanhai, Wei admires your current writings, books, and river management strategies. Unfortunately, you and I cannot be friends. No matter in the officialdom, I, Wei Wuzhi, will definitely find out this for my cousin."

Jia Cong said: "I will listen to you."

"In my opinion, your strategy for river management is to treat symptoms but not root cause. Rumors have always been blessed with the world, river management, and imperial fields, and almost everything goes wrong, but I cannot agree. There is still one thing: there are many villages and towns in the north, and there are many lack of buffaloes and scalpers, and it is difficult to cultivate the land. Wanping and Liangxiang have such situations. If you can solve it, I will accept you." Wei Wuzhi smiled from beginning to end: "The same thing is the case, I admire you, but I will never agree with you."

Today, Jia Cong's courage and ability to deal with it are obvious to all people in the lobby. He is definitely not a nobleman who is waiting to die. Wei Wuzhi pushed Sima Biejian to Jia Cong, and Jia Cong quietly pushed it to everyone to solve the problem.

Chinese people have the habit of watching the excitement in ancient and modern times. They don’t mind the excitement. When they hear this excitement, everyone’s ears are straightened.

In ancient times, scholars and scholars paid attention to the four words "round outside and square inside" when dealing with people, which is the so-called "Yin and Yang Way" in the officialdom. Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing and others have achieved the samadhi of this. In their opinion, round outside and square inside are the best way. If you can do things, you have principles in your heart. Round outside and round inside are old fried dough sticks. When things are rude, you will not do good things. If you are not allowed, Yan Song, Zhou Yanru, and Wen Tiren (traitor). The outside and the inside are the most dangerous style of conduct. Represented by our Qing official Hai Rui, you cannot tolerate sand in your eyes. Such people will be rejected by most scholar groups. Even if many people praise it, the outside and the inside touch the fundamental interests of the scholar groups, and it is almost impossible to show their strength in the officialdom.

To be said to be complex, it is also complicated. To put it simply, "circular outside and square inside" means that one can do things first, and it is not ruled out that one can use any means to protect oneself, the party will fight against differences, and then display its ambitions, and can adhere to good principles to a certain extent. To put it bluntly, it is hypocrisy and treacherous, and self-proclaiming is the "way of Yin and Yang".

This is what Jia Cong is facing now. The so-called "round outside and square inside" is generally not clearly stated, it depends on how the parties involved balance it. Fame, fame and fortune, fame are profits. If Jia Cong does not help Sima Feijian and ignores the matters that hit the people's livelihood proposed by Wei Wuzhi, it will cause certain damage to Jia Cong's reputation, and fame is one of the fundamentals of their foothold.

"Scholars discuss politics, which is jealous of the government and the country. Brother Wei, your question is not only too difficult for others, but also exceeds the duties of us scholars." Wang Yinglin's eyes flashed and he shirked Jia Cong.

"Otherwise, all the students here today are the backbone of their respective hometowns. We are commonly known as scholars. Everything is inferior. Only by studying high and doing something for the elders of our hometown, how can we improve our political discussion? Besides, our proposal is not to ask the county government office to promote administrative orders. We think of ways. If it is good, it is to benefit the people. If it is not good, it is a game." Wei Wuzhi never gave people an aggressive feeling. He was organized and told in a leisurely manner, just like eight-part articles, breaking the topic, following the topic, and having a clear idea.

Wang Yinglin remained silent because he was afraid that he would stump Jia Cong and avoid being embarrassed. Although the leader of the alliance was able to be useful in governing the river, he was a wealthy family after all, so he did not have so much experience. These things would be serious about giving the county magistrate's headache.

Luo Guoqi had many friends when he was alive, but these friends were rarely reliable. Once Luo Guoqi was ruined, they were afraid that they would not be able to avoid it. If others did not do it for themselves, they would be punished by heaven and earth. Therefore, Jia Cong was not worried about Luo Guoqi's friends' revenge, and they would not. However, Wei Wuzhi, Luo Guoqi's cousin, cannot be compared.

Jia Cong thought about various strategies and regarded him as Zhuge Liang who built a wooden ox and a flying horse? No, it was clearly a sarcasm and made things difficult for him. Although "rights and wrongs are just to speak more, and troubles are all due to forcing them to come forward", Confucianism is "currentism", especially "shocking the first bird". These things cannot be avoided. It is better to use the tricks and do a good job, and instead add a good reputation for yourself.

So Jia Cong nodded and smiled and said, "Brother Wei really knows the people and loves the people. It is a blessing for Liangxiang to have students like Brother Wei."

"Sincere, Mencius said: The king is light, the people are the most important, and the country is the next. Yu thought that those who drowned in the world are like his drowned. Ji thought that those who are hungry in the world are like his hunger..." Wei Wuzhi smiled and said: "In this way, did Brother Zili agree?"

"I'm sacrificing my life to accompany the gentleman!" Jia Cong bowed.

Wang Yinglin stopped interrupting, Jia Cong agreed, then he must have a way. Zhang Maocai kept applauding, and Kuang Liuhe's eyes rolled: "Let's go to the villages and towns east of Yongchang Gate, next to the fields and close to the city."

Some of their group of people were not selected and were venting, while others were waiting, because Liu Dongsheng had to hold a record of subjects and record the remains of the candidates, and it would take a few days to send them to the provincial examination.

"Record subjects" means that if there is an accident in the science exam, or if the science exam fails, another exam is taken. "Record subjects" include candidates who fail the science exam, students who are in the prison, etc. who meet the conditions for participating in the provincial examination. Record subjects and record subjects are all continuations of the scientific exam, and select qualified candidates to participate in the provincial examination. Liu Dongsheng was so busy that he had no time to meet students. He was responsible for candidates in the entire Zhili Province.
