Feast of Rebirth

On the second day of opening, the first person to step into the store was not the customer, but the old fox whom Hu Yan had found before to help greet and send invitations.

The old fox's name was Wei Ze, and he turned into a middle-aged rich man. He came in with a general's belly upright, stared at Yun Congfeng who was crackling his abacus for a while, and said slowly, "Where is Mr. Yan?"

"He's upstairs." Yun Congfeng greeted upstairs, and Hu Yan responded, "Senior Wei Ze, what east wind brought you here?"

"Come to talk to you about business." Wei Ze sat down, Hu Yan just sat down opposite him, Wei Ze said in fox language: "He is the one that mother fox wants you to protect? What is his background?"

The fox language humans could neither hear nor understand.But Yun Congfeng raised his head, and Wei Ze looked at him without fear.

After Yun Congfeng reconciled the accounts, he continued to read the book he hadn't finished yesterday.

Hu Yan also replied in fox language: "I'm sorry I can't tell others about this."

Wei Ze didn't insist, and asked again: "Then how knowledgeable is he?"

This Hu Yan is absolutely confident: "It's good, it's no problem to hang and beat [-]% of the disciples in the academy."

Wei Ze was taken aback when he heard the words: "This statement... is too full."

Hu Yan blurted out: "If he doesn't get Gui Haiwen's first place in the test, I'll cut a tail."

In his previous life, he didn't believe that Yun Congfeng could win the first place in the essay test.Probably because he was at the end of the crane in Baopu Mountain, and the reason why he went down the mountain was because he couldn't stand the excellence of his brothers and sisters, and he usually behaved like a nerd who only knows how to study, and he said that he must be the prime minister. It's easy to feel like a waste.

In fact, he beat all the other heroes in the Jingzhe Essay, and handed in the Guihai Essay an hour and a half earlier, easily won the first prize. After entering the academy, he was almost invincible in all the academies. Only the closed disciple of the academy master could compete with him In the first battle, it was so strong that it was abnormal.

Wei Ze nodded: "I believe Mr. Yan's words, but it's better to avoid cutting the tail. The person who can be protected by the fox's handwriting must have an extraordinary background. I came to Mr. Yan for a way to make money."

"What way?"

Wei Ze then talked about his own way.

Students who want to enter Guihai Academy usually have to participate in the Awakening of Insects sponsored by the academy to experience the academy's style of study in advance.The Awakening of Insects Wenhui is when the top students of the academy come out to debate publicly. It can be regarded as a summary of their studies for the autumn and winter.There are very few students from the outer court who can argue against the disciples from the academy, and those who win the debate are all famous later on.

The collection of debate manuscripts of the Wenhui has always been a popular item that the Wenhui will open. Although the price is high, there are only a few items that can be sold, but they are monopolized by booksellers and cannot be disseminated on a large scale.And he plans to disseminate the anthology to Beijing students for free.

Hu Yan didn't understand: "Then what do you earn?"

Wei Ze narrowed his eyes slyly: "Selling betting questions! I invited several great scholars to summarize the ideas of Guihai Academy's debate questions over the years based on the anthology. Come up with an approximate scope of the debate topic, and the title of the book is Jingzhe Wencui. If you pull and step on it, comparing the two sides, it will definitely open up sales among students."

Wei Ze went on to say, "I'm missing one person right now, someone who has excellent debate skills and can break the inherent thinking of the students - it's been a few years, how many students have bought his family's anthology, but there is really one who won the academy by relying on the anthology to argue. A top disciple?"

"If you want to achieve this, you must first stir up this matter vigorously. Hold a huge debate meeting, publicly distribute the collection of essays for free, and then talk about the uselessness of the collection of essays in front of all the students..." Wei Ze talked endlessly .

Hu Yan nodded again and again: "Well, it should be no problem for Yun Congfeng to argue, but I don't know if he is willing, let me ask him."

Wei Ze solemnly bowed his hands: "Then I will leave this matter to Mr. Yan."

Saying goodbye to Wei Ze, Hu Yan walked up to Yun Congfeng and knocked on the table: "Idiot!"

Yun Congfeng looked up in confusion, then said seriously, "I won't stay."

Hu Yan chuckled, and Yun Congfeng said again: "How much did he pay?"

Hu Yan was stunned: "You...can understand fox language? Then why didn't you just say it?"

"If I speak out, he will be embarrassed and won't be able to get off the stage." Yun Congfeng was very calm, "I don't know the market price for inviting people to debate, let's set it at 300 taels, I don't know if he agrees or not."

Hu Yan: "..."

Hu Yan hooked up, and Yun Congfeng and Wei Ze began to formally discuss the matter of cooperation the next day. They exchanged polite greetings for a while, and then talked about the debate.

Wei Ze had a well-planned plan, and this matter was like cooking. You need to heat up the pot first—spread gossip, saying that someone is going to distribute the collection of debates for free, of course, it is just an unrealistic gossip at this time.More fuel: confirm the news, publicize the debate, even if the students are not interested in the debate, there are free things to distribute, no one will worry about it.

The last thing is to cut the ingredients and fry until fragrant-success is in one fell swoop.

"What is the debate?"

"It's all sorted out, take a look." Wei Ze handed him a stack of papers.Yun Congfeng saw that the core content of the debate, the gradual climax of the rhythm, was clearly listed one by one, and it also listed several possible emergencies and how to deal with them wittily.

The handwriting was wild and scribbled, and Yun Congfeng still struggled to look at it.But just looking at the content, the operator is logical and step-by-step, and it is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

For some reason, Yun Congfeng always felt that this style of writing was a bit familiar: "Is this written by the academy disciple Bai Jiu?"

Wei Ze was surprised: "Exactly, how did you find out?"

Yun Congfeng said with a smile: "Xiaosheng was completely convinced by the debates he participated in a few years ago."

After all, Wei Ze was not at ease with Hu Yan's promise, and asked Bai Jiu to discuss the outline just in case, he said: "Indeed, he is very powerful, and I wrote this to give Mr. Yun a little bit of advice— —Has Mr. Yun participated in the debate before?"

Yun Congfeng thought for a while, he didn't have any concept of a debate meeting on Baopu Mountain, if he regarded the fierce debates in academics and morals as debates, he still had some confidence: "This is no problem."

Wei Ze said: "That's good."

The deposit is 50 taels, and there will be 300 taels after the matter is completed.This amount of money is enough for Yun Congfeng to live comfortably for two years.He worked hard for this, sending Wei Houze away to study hard all day long, walking around outside the inn, thinking over and over again what might happen, which annoyed Hu Yan.

"Why doesn't he bother you?" Hu Yan flipped through his handwritten manuscript boredly, inexplicably feeling ashamed of being ignorant and inexperienced.

Yun Congfeng was the worst underachiever on the mountain, and he was almost invincible after he got down the mountain, and now he is still working hard for a worthless debate—does he still want to live?

"Young master, how many words do you know?"

Hu Yan looked at the manuscript: "Well... I know [-]% of the words on it." But I can't figure out what it means when they are connected together, and I am at a loss.

But this does not prevent Chi Nu from admiring him: "Young Master is amazing!"

Hu Yan smiled guiltyly: "Well... yes, yes."

That side of Wei Ze was intensively hyping and spreading news. When the news spread to a certain extent, as soon as the rumors were confirmed, many students immediately exploded.

The sky is really falling!

Jiying Road, the bustling place of the Bianhuiding Wangjing, is not far from Guihai Academy. Academy students often buy literature and ink books on Jiying Road, and other Confucian scholars hold debate meetings or calligraphy and painting exhibitions here from time to time.

They set the time early, and the lazy fox woke up and found that the inn was gone. Yun Congfeng and the figure remembered the debate, and hurried to Jiying Road. Three streets away, he was startled by the huge flow of people. Jump: It was obviously morning, and there were so many people that it was like a holiday.And most of them are young people, crowded and crowded.

Hu Yan jumped up, walked on the roof, rose and fell briskly, and arrived at the edge of the debate in a short time.

There were a lot of people and the environment was a bit noisy. Compared with Yun Congfeng's voice, it was a bit quiet and not very prominent, but the advantage was that it was calm and unhurried. The students crowded in front of the conference stage listened very seriously.

It really looks like it.Hu Yan sat down on a nearby locust tree, took a pot of wine, and listened to him while drinking: "Looking at the footprints of the predecessors, picking up the wisdom of others, can I walk on that road by myself? With the current situation It seems that it is not. Those who resemble me will die, and those who learn from me will live. The key point is to learn the word. There is no way out of copying and copying. The only way is to summarize and improve and use it for your own use. "

"You said so much, don't you just want us to buy your book?" Someone in the audience mocked rudely.

Yun Congfeng said calmly: "Everyone knows that it is very difficult to be admitted to Guihai Academy. The Awakening of Insects will become a blockbuster, and there are very few disciples who broke the rules and directly entered the academy. Then you can read the debates of the predecessors." What's the point of a manuscript? Have you learned how to argue yourself?"

"Please tell me, do you think you have the ability to defeat the top disciples of the academy at the literary meeting? After reading the anthology?"

The doubters were speechless, and Yun Congfeng continued: "Since most people are useless after reading it, why do they rush to buy it? The existence of this thing itself is unreasonable. Anyone can participate in the literary fair, but Its derivatives are being charged a high price by several booksellers that have nothing to do with Guihai Academy, do you really think this is reasonable, and you still take it for granted after so many years?"

The next step is the hidden promotion. Yun Congfeng has already prepared a draft, so he can blow up Wei Ze's "The Essence of Waking Insects" in a good way, and it is very literary, just like reading a free and unrestrained line poem .The blow made the hearts of the students under the stage flutter, and they applauded again and again.In addition, the pricing of books is actually cheaper than the anthologies sold by booksellers, and places that specialize in selling books are extremely popular.

After finishing his speech, Yun Congfeng took a short break to catch his breath.Suddenly someone said again: "You said so much, don't you just want to sell something?"

Unlike the person who raised the question just now, Yun Congfeng didn't think too much, and patiently asked and answered: "But the book we published is far more reasonable than theirs."

The man said again: "You said so much, don't you just want to sell something?"

Yun Congfeng had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and said, "Everything is compared, and a comparison shows the truth. I have already made this very clear, which one is better and which one is worse, one's own judgment."

"You said so much, don't you just want to sell something?"

Yun Congfeng finally became annoyed: "Brother, what do you mean?"

The man looked at him with a provocative smile: "Aren't you just..." "Wait!" Yun Congfeng couldn't take it anymore.

"Don't you buy anything? Don't you eat and buy vegetables? Don't you shop around when you buy something? When you find that this item is broken, do you still buy it from another store? Then why can't the merchants who sell better goods be famous? ?”

The instigator turned serious and said, "I don't buy anything, my servants do it."
