The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Governor Dong re-read Fang Yun's "Stabilizing Farming and Stabilizing Military Strategies". While reading, he carefully read Li Wenying's comments. He saw the later methods of using business to support farmers and weakening enemies, but he was confused because Fang The writing of luck is not detailed enough, and Li Wenying is also unclear.

"Sir, I understand this method of stabilizing farmers, and I can even make a rough guess about strengthening military discipline, but I can't understand the content behind it. Even after reading your annotation, I am still confused." Magistrate Dong held a "Stabilizing Stability" in his hand. "Nong decides the military strategy" and looked up at Li Wenying.

Li Wenying did not answer. He lowered his eyes slightly and stared at the table.

Magistrate Dong immediately stood up and waited quietly.

Not long after, Li Wenying raised his head slightly, and in his eyes, chaotic clouds, wind and rain appeared in the sky, and then disappeared.

Magistrate Dong was surprised and happy, but Li Wenying didn't speak, and he couldn't speak either.

"I didn't understand it just now, but I understand it now. The topic of this policy discussion is farming and military affairs, but only by luck can the world be settled. After his business, there will be laws, and after the laws, there must be etiquette. If he had written it, he would have done it no matter what. It's a side question. It's not that he can't answer it, but..."

Li Wenying shut his mouth.

Magistrate Dong almost broke out in a cold sweat. Imperial examinations have always been set by saints, and the imperial examination nineteen years ago was no exception. If Li Wenying continued to talk, wouldn't it mean that it was wrong for saints to set the questions?

Li Wenying then continued: "The person who proposed the question did not expect the candidates to be able to transcend this question. Instead, Fang Yun was restrained and could not write many governance policies. You should keep this article, maybe when Fang Yun takes charge of the country, you can Fulfill what is said above.”

Magistrate Dong nodded, put away the "Stabilizing Farming and Stabilizing Military Strategies", and said: "Fang Yun is already ranked fifteenth on the bachelor's hunting list. This is not good news for Fang Yun. Can you please ask the Holy Academy to Are you thinking of a way? Once Fang Yun rises to the top of the bachelor's list during the exam, Demon Saint will destroy him at all costs no matter how stupid he is."

"I have reported this matter to Dongsheng, but Master Dongsheng has not given any instructions." Li Wenying said solemnly.

"Then...can we really just watch?" Magistrate Dong's tone was filled with reluctance.

"When that time comes, we are powerless. The only thing we can do is to pour wine in front of his grave, then go to the demon world to kill the demons and barbarians, killing them one by one, counting them one by one, until they can't kill anymore and can't be counted anymore. , then the revenge will be considered avenged.”

Magistrate Dong looked at Li Wenying's calm face and was shocked in his heart. He said: "If that day comes, I will follow you."

"That's good." After Li Wenying finished speaking, he lowered his head to review the documents.

"I'm resigning." Magistrate Dong exited and sighed softly.

After walking out of the Prefectural Literary Academy, Magistrate Dong got on the carriage and said, "Go to Yinlong Pavilion."

"Yes. Uncle, the things there are so expensive, what do you want to buy? Be careful that your third aunt nags you again." said the young coachman.

"It's not about buying, it's about borrowing. Stop talking nonsense!"

"Oh. Drive!"

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of Yinlong Pavilion.

Magistrate Dong got out of the car, looked up at the three-story Yinlong Pavilion and the huge luminous pearl above, and entered it.

Magistrate Dong found the clerk and explained that he wanted to see the shopkeeper. The clerk immediately took him to a room in Yinlong Pavilion.

The room was filled with smoke. There were seven people sitting inside, all in their forties and above. Two of them were smoking dry cigarettes and puffing on clouds, and one was smoking a hookah.

When everyone saw Magistrate Dong, the hookah smoker just nodded and continued to sit there. The other six people all stood up politely, but only two of them were particularly enthusiastic. The other four people had faint smiles on their faces. They were obviously candidates, but they did not show any courtesy in front of the head of the civil servants of Yuhai Mansion.

Magistrate Dong didn't make excuses, but took the initiative to greet them. The four people were casually polite and then returned to their seats.

Magistrate Dong didn't take it seriously, because he knew very well that the hookah smoker was the plenipotentiary representative of the Zengzi family in Yuhai City. Although he was a judge, he was actually a branch of the Yasheng family. The other four people are all members of semi-saint families from other countries and have met before. However, they mainly deal with the East China Sea Dragon Palace and there is no need to have close contacts with Jingguo officials.

The two people who took the initiative to greet him were from the Jingguo Half-Saint Family. Among them, Chen Juren said with a smile: "Master Dong rarely comes to Yinlong Pavilion, right? If you are busy with something important, please exchange seats with me. You first Come."

Magistrate Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you in advance. This matter is indeed urgent and of great importance. I owe you a favor."

The others looked at Magistrate Dong carefully. Although people from the Semi-Saint family did not take a magistrate seriously, they also knew that the real power of a magistrate was greater than that of everyone in the room combined. Such a person was said to owe a favor. , that means there is something very urgent.

The Zeng family member who was smoking hookah put down his hookah and asked, "Prefect Dong really has something important to do with the shopkeeper of Yinlong Pavilion?"

"I just came from Duke Jianmei. I really have something important to do."

As soon as everyone heard that he was carrying out the important figure Li Wenying, they knew that they should be polite regardless of whether it was true or false. Being a prefect was nothing in front of them, but even if Li Wenying, who was about to become a great scholar, went to their master's house, the master would go out to greet him, not to mention there were other reasons.

The Zeng family said: "We are just discussing some business with the shopkeeper. There is no rush. As a parent and official, you are busy with official duties. Come in next."

The others nodded.

"Thank you all." Magistrate Dong felt like a mirror in his heart. He knew very well why, if he had come two days earlier, these people would never give in. However, Jingguo's status is now different!

In the civil war between the two countries, the outcome is extremely crucial and is an important symbol of the country's strength or weakness.

It seems that Fang Yun is responsible for conquering a state by himself, but this not only shows that Fang Yun has the possibility to carry a country, but also can quickly restore the power of Jing State. Fang Yun is not only a role model, he can also serve as a model for Jing State. The country and the human race bring strength!

A prosperous country deserves the courtesy of these people.

Magistrate Dong's expression remained unchanged, but he was filled with emotions. He became more and more aware of the impact of a country's strength on himself.

Not long after, a man came out from the side door, beaming with joy.

Everyone immediately said congratulations.

Magistrate Dong thanked everyone again and entered the side door under the leadership of the waiter. He walked along the long corridor for a while before arriving at a door.

The man made an invitation gesture, and Magistrate Dong knocked on the door and came in.

Magistrate Dong came here for the first time and glanced around. This house was huge. There were shells, corals and other objects from the sea everywhere. There were even jellyfish floating in the air, and there was no sea water at all.

Magistrate Dong looked behind a table. There was no one there. A huge turtle demon was lying there, as big as a house.

This turtle monster wears a dark green turtle shell, revealing four legs as thick as an elephant. It is staring at Magistrate Dong with two eyes, full of kindness.

"I've met the shopkeeper." Magistrate Dong saluted and greeted him.

The Demon Turtle shopkeeper nodded and said, "Why is Governor Dong here?"

Magistrate Dong looked embarrassed, and then said: "I would like to borrow the heaven and earth shell in your pavilion for one night, and tomorrow..."

"No need to say anything, Magistrate Dong, please come back." The kindness in the Demon Turtle Shopkeeper's eyes disappeared, replaced by a touch of coldness.

"Can……"

"Prefect Dong, please come back." After the shopkeeper Yaogui said, an invisible force pushed Prefect Dong out of the door.

"I was rash." Magistrate Dong sighed and walked back to the reception room along the corridor, his face full of heat. He thought that by agreeing to Fang Yun, the matter could be settled satisfactorily, but he didn't expect that the Demon Turtle shopkeeper would be so determined. However, after thinking about it carefully, the dissatisfaction in Dong Zhifu's heart dissipated. The Tiandi Bei was really extraordinary. Its actual effect was no less than that of a semi-saint cultural treasure. It was normal for the Dragon Palace not to lend it out easily.

Magistrate Dong walked back to the reception room and found everyone looking at him. He shook his head with a wry smile and was about to leave.

Then Chen Juren took advantage of the situation and said: "If it is convenient for you to tell me what difficulties Magistrate Dong has, our Chen family may have a solution."

"Thank you, Brother Chen. I'm here to borrow the Tiandi Bei."

Everyone looked at him in surprise, and a few even shook their heads slightly. The prefect wanted to borrow the Tiandi Bei? It is really overestimating one's ability. Even the Queen Mother and the King of Jing Kingdom may not be able to borrow it. Only the semi-sage Chen Guanhai of Panorama Kingdom is qualified to borrow the Heaven and Earth Shell.

The Chen family members exclaimed and asked curiously: "Why did Governor Dong borrow the Tiandi Bei?"

Everyone looked at him with interest.

Magistrate Dong said: "I discussed with Fang Yun today to hold a banquet for tens of thousands of people. Fang Yun called it a 'city banquet.' But you also know that if you entertain ten thousand people, you don't know how many streets will be occupied. It's very uncomfortable." It’s convenient. It would be much better if there was a Tiandibei. Alas, I just gave it a try, but I didn’t have much hope.”

"You are a little reckless. The shellfish is a sacred object. How can I lend it to you?" A person shook his head.

Magistrate Dong felt depressed, but since the other party was from a semi-saint family, he couldn't say anything, so he could only walk out in silence. It doesn't matter if I can't borrow it, but being called reckless by other people makes me feel more and more depressed.

Suddenly, the voice of the Demon Turtle Shopkeeper sounded in the room: "You stupid officer, why didn't you tell me earlier that you came to borrow the Heaven and Earth Shell for Fang Zhenguo? Come back quickly, Xiang told me how to use it!"

"Ah?" Magistrate Dong turned around blankly, subconsciously looking for the source of the sound, but he quickly understood it and couldn't hide the joy on his face.

The person who just said that Magistrate Dong was reckless was shocked. He didn't expect Shopkeeper Gui Yao to agree to borrow Tiandi Bei just after Magistrate Dong mentioned Fang Yun. How much dignity does Fang Yun have? Even the head of the Semi-Saint family can't compare.

Magistrate Dong said hurriedly: "Thank you, shopkeeper!" After saying that, he quickly returned.

The people present looked at each other, and Zeng Juren said: "Don't say too much about what happened today."

Everyone hurriedly said: "Natural, natural."

These people suppressed their smiles, but their brows and eyes were full of smiles. It was nothing that Fang Yun was valued by the Dragon Clan, but that Fang Yun was valued so much by the Dragon Clan that Lian Tiandibei would borrow him whenever he asked. This was definitely a very important piece of news. Once you report it to the family, it is a big achievement, and your status will be more stable. You don't have to worry about others taking away the good news from the deal with the Dragon Clan.

Afterwards, these people lowered their heads and thought deeply. Chen Juren suddenly stood up and said, "I'll take my leave."

The others looked at each other and remained silent. After a while, everyone left one after another, except Zeng Juren who could still sit still.

After a while, Zeng Juren saw that no one was around, and snorted coldly, thinking that each of these people was more cunning than the other. Not only did he want to inform his family of this important news, but he also thought of getting ready to attend the city banquet. Originally, His fortune is not worthy of their doing so, but a fortune valued by Dragon Palace is too important not to be friends with.

Zeng Juren looked around again to make sure no one saw him, and quickly left with the hookah.

A quarter of an hour later, Magistrate Dong returned and found that the room was empty. He thought about it for a moment, suddenly realized what he was doing, and left with a smile.
