Chapter 261 The National Scholar Behind the Scenes

The resources that the national scholars can mobilize are not comparable to Huiwen or Meihao. If you want to clean up Mu Bai, you have to grasp it.

However, it seems that a national scholar is not enough to make Gu Changxing afraid. After all, Changxinhou's mansion is a "sister" and married to the royal family. As long as he does not treason, no one will take him.

This thought flashed through Mu Bai's mind. He had no time to think about others now.

Mu Bai would not put his hopes on these products of the current studio, and expect to use them to fight back. If a national scholar is a towering tree, the current studio is just an inconspicuous grass.

The two sides are not at the same level at all, perhaps because of the face of the Changxinhou Mansion, they didn't directly push Mu Bai into the bottom of the valley, but let "Last Summer" not achieve the planned results.

Or maybe the national scholar is used to being steady, and directly intervening in the "new list" in June is just a test for Mu Bai.

Mu Bai has already considered in his heart, should he take refuge in Xiao Guoshi in front of him to protect himself?

The old man took a bite of the fish and then answered Mu Bai's question: "To deal with him, you must become a national scholar."

Mu Bai nodded: "Only national scholars can fight against national scholars." Then he asked, "How old is the youngest national scholar in the history of Zhou?"

The old man drank on his own, and he didn't know if he didn't know, or he felt that such a low-level question was not worthy of him to answer.

Tao Daixi, who was on the opposite side, replied: "The youngest national scholar is Bai Xiaoxuan, who was in King Jing's time. He was only 27 years old when he became a national scholar."

Mu Bai swallowed, he is only 21 now, how will he live in six years?
He asked Xiao Jingyu: "Old man, do you think I can become a national scholar before I am 27?"

Xiao Jingyu glanced at Mu Bai: "If you don't make too many mistakes, there is hope before the age of 30."

Mu Bai smiled wryly, it seems that it only takes six years.

"As for who he is?" Xiao Jingyu asked with a smile, "Who do you think he is?"

"It's too difficult!" Mu Bai smiled wryly: "I've only been in contact with you and Mi Guoshi, so I can only get rid of you two first."

Xiao Jingyu smiled mysteriously: "What if I tell you it's me?"

Mu Bai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "You're always joking, how can a person as handsome as you, get along with me because of Mei Hao's trivial matter?"

"Know the face but not the heart."

"Famous is not as good as meeting. If I can't see through it with my own eyes, then I would rather stay in the illusion you created."

Xiao Jingyu stared at Mu Bai, took a big sip of wine: "It's boring! Are young people so hard to cheat?"

Mu Bai smiled and said: "It should be said that today's young people are not fools."

Xiao Jingyu shook his head: "Okay, stop joking." He looked at Tao Daixi: "For the sake of Mu Bai's future, don't spread the word about it."

Tao Daixi nodded quickly, she still has key professionalism.

"The person behind Meihao is Ming Honglang, a scholar of the country!" Xiao Jingyu told the truth lightly.

Mu Bai picked up the draft beer in front of him: "Thank you, old man, for letting me know. I would like to toast you."

As Mu Bai said, only national scholars can fight against national scholars. Even Gu Changxing did not reveal to Mu Bai who is behind Meihao before.

If the old man hadn't told him, he didn't know how long he would be kept in the dark.

After finishing the glass of wine, the old man asked Mu Bai: "What are your plans?"

"I want to know more information about Ming Honglang Guoshi."

Mu Bai only knew that Ming Honglang was a national Go player and a master in mathematics, but he didn't know any other information.

Speaking of which, Mu Bai can be considered to have had a "fate" with Ming Honglang. Fu Liancheng, the son of Fu Fengmao, the former head of the three-dimensional image team, solved a problem of Ming Honglang. Hao Wenzhong, in front of Mu Bai and others, to verify.

Mu Baiyue had heard Ming Honglang's voice before, if he only listened to the voice, the other party seemed to be a very kind person.

From the looks of it now, Ming Honglang might just be friendly with Hao Wenzhong, so it's hard to say how he treats others.

"Ming Honglang was born in a merchant," Xiao Guoshi's voice was not loud, Mu Bai and Tao Daixi could hear it, but the neighboring table might not be able to hear clearly.

He said: "The current Ming family can be said to be the largest merchant family in the Zhou Kingdom, and Meihao is just the tip of the iceberg. It is said that they also have shares in them.

"But the Ming family did not gain power because of a national scholar, but they seized the opportunity of the political reform in the Shandong countries, took the opportunity to expand their own strength, and became influential in all the Shandong countries.

"And I stood in the right team when I 'stand in line' a few years ago."

Xiao Jingyu suddenly asked Mu Bai: "Nowadays many countries are implementing new policies, you should know?"

Mu Bai nodded: "I heard a little."

After he returned from Qi, he began to take the initiative to understand the world. He insisted on watching international and domestic news every day. He could vaguely feel that the domestic conflicts in the Shandong countries were getting more and more intense.

The contradiction between culture and technology, the contradiction between the backward business framework and the increasingly prosperous business, the contradiction between culture and business, the contradiction between the royal family and the state government, and so on.

It seems that today's Shandong countries are full of contradictions.

Naturally, the news will not report on political reforms, but before when countries were stimulated by internal conflicts, there would be a wave of political reforms, so Mu Bai speculated that there will be a new round of political reforms this time.

However, judging from Xiao Guoshi's tone, some countries' political reforms may have already begun.

Xiao Jingyu nodded when he heard Mu Baidi's answer: "It's good to hear about it. There are very few people who can seize the opportunity of political reform. Most people who want to seize this opportunity will be crushed by the wave of political reform. .”

Mu Bai nodded, knowing that Xiao Guoshi was warning him not to get involved.

"Nowadays, the new policies in various countries are mainly based on the power of industry and commerce, but their several attempts are not ideal." These international obscure events were tactfully explained by Xiao Guoshi:

"Qin State is the most active in reforming the government, but it has taken too many steps and failed to properly handle the relationship between the royal family and the industrial and commercial forces. Therefore, some time ago, there was a disturbance due to the reform of the government, which attracted Chu State to attack."

Mu Bai was stunned. He didn't expect that the civil war between Qin and Chu happened because of the political reform.

Xiao Jingyu continued: "In China, Ming Honglang is the main force promoting political reform, so Ming Honglang is in full swing now.

"Even if you become a national scholar, you can only protect yourself. Fortunately, the country is troubled now, and Ming Honglang will not personally deal with you.

"I guess at most one of his subordinates is in charge of the specific planning, and Ming Honglang is most likely to be the one to help. It is said that he arranged a lot of chess pieces in the country back then, and some chess pieces required him to activate them himself.

“It can be said that if Ming Honglang is willing, the entire Zhou Kingdom may become your enemy.

"Would it make you despair after you learned this information about Ming Honglang?"

Mu Bai pondered for a while: "According to my observation, King Zhou seems to have been suppressing the power to reform the government. He handles the relationship with the government seriously, and it doesn't seem like he wants to let industry and commerce develop freely."

These can all be observed from the news.

Xiao Jingyu nodded: "Well, your sense is very keen, this is the wisdom of the king. Everyone knows that the first country to complete the reform may become the new overlord.

"But they ignore that in the process of political reform, the countries that are often at the forefront are prone to suffer huge internal friction and never recover. It is better to wait and see what happens and observe the political reform experience of other countries."

Mu Bai took a sip of draft beer: "It really is Laoyin, ahem, it really is an old minister seeking the country."

He then laughed and said: "Ming Honglang is in full swing, but I don't have a chance, since he represents industry and commerce, then I will find a way to contain his throat.

"And before he completely gains power, he is not covering the sky with one hand. I still have a lot of room for manipulation."

Xiao Jingyu smiled: "Well, yes, he is a material that can be made. Even in the depths of the desperate situation, he is still calm and still making a living by himself."

Mu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and he said in his heart: "Am I so powerful?"

In fact, in his subconscious mind, as long as Ming Honglang didn't hack him with a knife or shoot him with a gun, then he still had room to move.

Besides, if it was more insidious, Mu Bai felt that he would not be much worse than Ming Honglang, so his psychological pressure was actually not that great.

Even if you know that the sky is about to fall, you still have to eat and drink as much as you want, otherwise, you will starve to death before the sky falls, and that would be a shame.

So Mu Bai has to continue to do what he is doing, but he has to stay behind and fight against Ming Honglang in a planned way.

He thinks that Xiao Jingyu Guoshi is a breakthrough point. According to Xiao Guoshi, he seems to be loyal to the royal family, so there must be conflicts between him and the reformers who are eager for power.

It's just that Mu Bai hasn't figured out yet how to open his mouth to join Xiao Guoshi's camp in order to obtain temporary protection.

Xiao Jingyu drank the last glass of wine: "When I return to Gyeonggi Province, I will help you apply for an early admission to Hongwenkan, so that you can improve your strength as soon as possible."

Seeing that Xiao Jingyu was about to pat his butt and leave, Mu Bai hurriedly said, "You haven't taught me how to deal with Ming scholars yet!"

"You treat me to a meal of fish and want me to help you deal with a national warrior?" Xiao Jingyu shook his head.

"Then I'll treat you to another meal tomorrow." Mu Bai said with a smile.

"Hey, because of your shameless energy, I estimate that you have a chance of becoming a national scholar at the age of 27 or eight!" Xiao Jingyu said with a smile: "It's hard for you to have such a heart, but I won't eat the fish tomorrow. After all, there is still something in my hand." There's a lot to do."

Xiao Jingyu stroked his beard and got up and said, "I've already said this, let me say one more thing."

Mu Bai also got up quickly, for fear that he might miss something.

"I guess the 'new list' in June is just the beginning, and Ming Honglang may attack you again soon." Xiao Jingyu pinched his beard and said:
"Regardless of whether you have survived a new round of attacks, someone will take the initiative to help you fight against Ming Honglang, after all, there are still many people who do not want to change the regime.

"The only difference is whether your relationship is an alliance or a vassal."
