Great Wei Nengchen

As for donating money at night and going through the back door, this is the bad nature of businessmen. They pay attention to keeping their money in the open and not seeing the sky. No matter what kind of business they do, they can only feel safe if they trade secretly!

With great influence, rich wealth and more than [-] gold in hand, Xiao Yi immediately became full of confidence. The next step is how to use this huge sum of money to make the most of it!

The first step is to use the opportunity of the end of the autumn harvest and the free time of the people to recruit another 15 craftsmen and peasants to participate in the second phase of the Zhengming Academy, and strive to complete all the construction before the spring of next year, and then there are still big things to do!

In this way, there will be no idle manpower, and the peasants will have enough to eat and wages, and it can also confuse the princes' sight and conceal the military operations behind them. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone!

The second step is to use sufficient funds to purchase a large amount of wood, bamboo, stone, bricks, copper, iron, sand... all kinds of building materials, let 43 businessmen be responsible, and give priority to them in the project. This is called "acquisition" For business, for business! '

Gold is a waste in the warehouse, and it is money when it flows. It stimulates the prosperity of commerce and makes people earn money, so that the country can have more taxes. The cycle goes on and on, and the miser who blindly saves money must be Wealth broke and people died!

While purchasing materials, Xiao Yi also secretly ordered the merchants to secretly stockpile grain, fodder, pig iron, cowhide, beef tendon, arrow bamboo... all military supplies, and even spared no expense in shipping capacity or money, and sent people to the four prefectures of Hebei to buy grain at high prices , Ironware, it is best to empty out Yuan's family property and fill up your own warehouse!

The third step is to prepare for the Contest. Hundreds of schools of thought gather in Xuchang, thousands of people, and good and bad are mixed. There are masters from a hundred schools of thought, scholars who are sincere in their studies, and spies sent by the princes. Trying to sabotage Cao Ying's plan to seek talents!

For this matter, Xiao Yi has long had a countermeasure, which is to screen layer by layer, remove the bad and keep the good, use the false to the false, and capture the spies. Whoever dares to disrupt the competition meeting, his own sword will show no mercy!

The so-called "Hundred Schools of Philosophy" is just an imaginary number. No one can tell how many schools were born in the explosion of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period. Some schools gradually died out, and new schools were born, such as the ever-expanding Buddhism, which was spread from the west during the period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, is now among the hundred schools of thought!

The sky has day and night, the earth is clear and turbid, and the various schools of thought are also good and bad, including Confucianism, Legalism, military strategists, and Mohism...these are beneficial to the country and the people, and promote social progress, and there are also hermits and witches...so respectful of seclusion, The evil sect that opposes social development and even uses human blood sacrifices!

Therefore, Xiao Yi strictly checked and screened the schools that are beneficial to the country and the people, and vigorously supported them, allowing them to recruit a large number of disciples. disappear!

As for the spies of the princes, there are no more than two purposes: one is to disrupt the competition and suppress the prestige of the Caoying Group;

Xiao Yi also has a solution to this. Back then in the sky prison, he met some literary ruffians, freaks, and corrupt officials. Spread some reactionary remarks. In this way, the spies will definitely come forward to win them over. As long as one shows up, they will kill one. This is called leading a snake out of its hole!

After the arrangement was completed, Xiao Yi notified the Hundred Schools to enter the competition stage five days in advance, to recharge his energy and strive for a blockbuster success. As for the reception work, Xiao Yi personally went out to investigate the situation, so that nothing could go wrong!

......................................................................................................

"Doctor Kong has a red face, full of confidence, profound Confucianism, and a wealth of talents. He will surely convince the world and win the leader of a hundred schools!"

"Everyone attending the meeting, why don't you wear boots... It turns out that you are a child of the Mo family. You have been barefoot for thousands of years, and your perseverance is amazing!"

"The eyes are dizzy, the tiles are shiny, there is a big group of bald... a lot of eminent monks, Master Yixiu will be able to make a big impact when he comes to preach in person, and he will show mercy to the eminent monks and give the little Taoist a way out!"

............................................................

Hundreds of schools of thought came here one after another, including Confucianists with high crowns and forehead belts and dignified looks, Mohists with coarse linen shirts and tools on their backs, and Buddhists with cassocks and golden bowls in their hands... Even hanging pots to help the world, cure diseases and save people The famous Mr. Hua Tuo also brought a group of medical disciples to the conference!

The number of people in hundreds of sects is as high as hundreds, and as few as dozens. Of course, there are also some pitiful sects with three or two kittens. It is estimated that they will not be able to recruit disciples, and the inheritance will soon be cut off... A lot of care will do!

Of course, there are also some crooked people who fish in troubled waters, or malicious and sincere saboteurs. Dealing with these guys is more troublesome!

'Let go of the freedom of academic theory and reproduce the contention of a hundred schools of thought' is a decree promulgated by the imperial court. People have come from a long distance, no matter whether it is good or bad, and what their purpose is. After all, the visitor is a guest. If they are turned away, they may cause disputes , making the disciples of a hundred families restless, the competition will fail!

But let them go in, because they are afraid of deliberately making trouble and disrupting the progress of the meeting. If assassins get mixed in and there is another bloody incident, it will be a big trouble!

Fortunately, these guys are bad, and Xiao Yi is even worse than them. With just a gesture of his hand, the problem was solved!

If it's Confucianism, Mohism, Buddhism... These schools of righteousness come, when Xiao Yi welcomes them, he will raise his right hand, and his attendants will naturally lead them into the school when they see them, and treat them with food, drink, and hospitality. Guest of honor!

If someone came from a crooked way, or felt that there was something wrong, Xiao Yi would raise his left hand while welcoming him. After the attendants saw him, they would also lead him in. When they arrived at a secluded place, they would put a sack on them, beat them with a sap, and interrogate them strictly. Make them disappear forever!

"Gather a hundred schools of thought, close the gates of the academy, and wait for five days to compete on the stage to discuss who is superior!"

Xiao Yi worked hard for three days, his face cramped from laughing, and his arms were weak from exhaustion. He finally completed the reception task and was about to close the gate of the school. He went home and had a good rest. He hadn't hugged his son for several days!

"Da! Da! Wait a minute, everyone, and don't close the door, the novelist hasn't entered yet... Drive! Drive!"

On the avenue in front of the school, there was dust and hoofbeats, and a black donkey appeared, running hard. On it lay a young man with a dusty face, an anxious expression, and a big package on his back. A novelist - Viscount White!

After Bai Zijue left Huashan, he went to the local government to report to the local government, preparing to participate in the contest, but something went wrong. Novelists were not taken seriously!

On the one hand: the people participating in the contention conference are all Confucianists, Mohists, military strategists, legalists... These useful people, if they send a useless novelist to waste the country's money, wouldn't that be a disadvantage?

On the other hand: No one can deny that the novelist is also one of the hundreds of schools. If you don't send it over, you are afraid that the court will blame you. What a dilemma!

The official in charge of the reception is also an old fritter, and he came up with a compromise, instead of being escorted by the court's post station, he let Viscount Bai go alone. In this way, the country's money was saved, and it did not violate the court's will , can be described as the best of both worlds!

Of course, the journey was long and full of dangers, and the government would also like to express the help that Viscount Bai received: a little donkey, two copper coins, fifty catties of coarse grain, and a portion of the government's road guide!

They are also from a hundred schools of thought, others eat and drink, and they ride tall horses. They eat dry food and sleep in the wild. They only ride a donkey. They don’t regard novelists as talents. set off...

The mountains are high and the road is far away, the journey is difficult, and Viscount Bai is also blind, lost his way several times, and almost died in the mouth of wild animals. Fortunately, this little donkey is really powerful, smart and brave, galloping like flying, and has amazing endurance. He could always find his way, escaped robbers, rushed out of wolves, and finally came to Xuchang City after countless hardships!

Out of his gratitude to the little donkey, the Viscount Bai secretly decided to write a novel to praise its heroic deeds. He has already thought of the name, and it will be called "The Adventures of the God Donkey - Wait and see!" "

"A daring lunatic, in rags, looks like a beggar, and dares to pretend to be a student from a hundred schools of thought, dismount quickly... get off the donkey and stand trial!"

Two soldiers armed with spears stepped forward to block the road. Children from various schools and hundreds of families came, all of them were escorted by the government. This guy riding a donkey must be a fake. between the hooves...

"Ah!... Plop!... Crash!"

After a loud noise, the little donkey fell to the ground and let out a cry of dissatisfaction. Viscount Bai fell headlong and fell more than two feet away. He almost lost his breath. The big package also fell apart, and many bamboo slips fell out. ...

Two soldiers held down Viscount Bai, ready to take him to a place where no one was around, and secretly executed him. They did this several times... The novelist's inheritance will soon be cut off!

"Wait a minute!... Novelists are a rare species, and they can still be encountered. God has eyes!"

At a critical moment, Xiao Yi stopped the two soldiers, looked at the disgraced Viscount Bai, and picked up the bamboo slips again... "Dream in a Brothel", "A Young Girl's Thoughts on Spring", "The Legend of a Folkman Cultivating Immortals"...such vulgar readings are indeed from novels The hands of home!

Xiao Yi was an otaku in his previous life, and he was also a fan of novels. He liked novels about cultivating immortals, fantasy, history, and military. What an eye-opener to meet a novelist!

"This person is a novelist and one of the hundreds of schools of thought. Take him to the Zhengming Stage, arrange a room for him, and take good care of him!"

Xiao Yi asked people to bring the Viscount Bai in, bathed and changed clothes, and gave him meals. As for the volumes of novels, he kept them all in his own pocket. I read some of them tonight!

Chapter 933 Controversy among schools of thought ([-])

The fourth year of Jian'an-October [-]th, Qinglong is on duty, the benefit is in the east, the auspicious day, everything is suitable, after several months of preparation, the long-awaited "Hundred Schools of Thought Contest" has finally begun!

Hundreds of schools of thought took the stage to debate, and all the civil and military officials attended. To put it bluntly, most of the elite talents of the Han nationality gathered here. Security and security work naturally became the top priority, and they dared not raise any problems. !

In order to be safe, Prime Minister Cao Cao personally ordered that Xuchang City be under martial law within a hundred miles, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering, otherwise they will be punished as a 'crime of treason'. Anyone who enters is not allowed to carry weapons or dangerous things, and anyone who dares to violate the order - kill without mercy!

The internal guards of Zhengming Academy were handed over to the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Xu Chu. The soldiers drew their swords out of their sheaths, bowed their bows and arrows, and took five steps at a time, and ten steps at a time. They occupied every vital position and all the commanding heights. The situation, you can cut first and play later!

Xuanjia army, tiger and leopard cavalry, two elite guards, and a large number of rangers, arresters, spies, spies... Secrets are scattered everywhere, it can be said that it is a fortified wall, foolproof!

Da Sima - Xiao Yi, wearing a ghost-faced helmet, wearing cold iron armor, holding a dragon-slaying sword, and a carved bow on his belt, stood on the competition stage in a fully armed posture. The command of the leader attracts everyone's attention and is majestic on all sides!

According to the arrangement, the competition of a hundred schools of thought will start at Chen time in the morning to show the meaning of "Dragon flying, God bless China". There are tens of thousands of people!

Among these spectators, most of them are businessmen, tyrants, elites, and scholars who have bought tickets. Their impact is quite big!

Xiao Ban is the family members of important ministers, so they naturally have to take care of their own people at such a lively event. The Xiangfu staff led by Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, and the Hou Fu staff led by Xiao Jing and Zhao Yu occupied the best positions in the front row. He brought dried meat, fine wine, melons and fruits, while happily eating, drinking and having fun, while waiting for the contest to start, he waved to Xiao Yi from time to time, and threw a few oranges over...
