The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun smiled and said: "Look, a treasure that can be used to guide a person cannot be worth more than 100,000 taels of silver in anyone's hands. But I can sell it for 370,000. In our Ji County, this is called a rich man!"

Everyone laughed.

"I have become a virtual saint. In the future, I will focus on the holy way. If there is nothing special in the future, I will participate less in cultural gatherings. Cultural gatherings should allow better young people to compete. How can an old guy like me not stay in the literary gatherings? No matter how happy you are to see me writing poetry today, if you compete with me on the same stage to be the leader of the Literary Society, you will have to curse in your heart, 'Old thief Fang Wenba'!"

No one would have thought that the dignified Xusheng would be so joking and burst into laughter.

"From now on, I will auction all the proceeds from the literary society on the spot. The spring flood is coming, and there may be disasters in various places. Seventy thousand taels of silver will be donated to the Ministry of Industry to prevent floods. One hundred thousand will be donated to charity halls in various places to help the poor. Common people. I wanted to buy some books or the Four Treasures of the Study to give to the students, but in the end I found that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish. Let me know about the details of the two hundred thousand. "

Fang Yun paused briefly, scanned the audience, and said: "In three days, I will entrust a merchant to hold a private auction to auction the treasures I obtained at the Holy Market and the Dragon Climbing Platform. I will only sell them for silver and nothing else. As for Let me explain what happened in the end, and I will announce it in early February.”

"Can't you say it now? You are trying to whet our appetite!" Cui Sheng said with a smile.

"We'll know in February." Fang Yun returned to his seat with a smile.

Everyone speculated.

"The treasures Fang Xusheng obtained in the Holy Ruins and the Dragon Climbing Platform are extraordinary. Even if you sell a few, they are worth tens of thousands. Even an ordinary Hanhu shell is enough for all the wealthy families to fight for their scalps!"

"Nonsense, for ordinary wealthy families, the role of Hanhu Bei is no less than that of the great Confucian scholar. However, he may not directly sell Hanhubei for talent. He should sell Hanhubei for qi and blood, and then each wealthy family will spend financial resources to transform it."

"Even if the human race cannot use the energy and blood contained in the lake shells, it will not be less than two million taels of silver."

"He probably won't sell particularly valuable artifacts. At most, he will sell some dragon bones and animal bones."

"It's hard to say. If the Thunder Stone is sold, famous Qintao masters will definitely flock to it."

"The list of auction items will probably be listed tomorrow, and we will know then."

"That's true."

"He has his own city in the ancient land, and he has a share of all the sacred items produced nearby. In addition to the gifts from the saints family, he has almost nothing. He will deal with those not-so-good things. Nothing could be further from the norm.”

"Yes, look at his pure-blooded dragon-horse luxury car, and the barbarian prince's private army that followed him. Who can compare?"

"Speaking of private soldiers, even if Fang Xusheng enters Ning'an, he will not be afraid of being stumbling by the left prime minister! One thousand private soldiers with literary titles plus two thousand private soldiers with noble titles, there are so many demon generals, demon commanders, and dragon-veined demon barbarians, absolutely Able to defeat tens of thousands of enemies."

"If Fang Xusheng's private soldiers were not so powerful, how could the Left Prime Minister let Ying Yang's army take over the city defense of Ning'an County?"

"Hehe, 'the color of grass looks far away but there is nothing close', 'near but there is nothing'!"

Some anti-leftists chuckled softly.

Fang Yun received the reward from the leader, which meant that the cultural meeting came to an end. After another quarter of an hour, the cultural meeting officially ended.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Fang Yun returned with his family. When he arrived at the door, the concierge announced that the shopkeeper Tang Da of Xuanting Calligraphy had been invited and was already in the house.

Fang Yun went to discuss with shopkeeper Tang Da until midnight and stayed overnight. After breakfast the next day, he personally sent shopkeeper Tang Da off.

At noon, Fang Yun made some lists. This time he was not going to auction good things, only things that were not important to him. But for ordinary wealthy families, those things are rare treasures. For example, dragon bones, roots of exotic trees, qi and blood containing lake shells, and the "Three Character Classic" and poems copied by Fang Yun.

After the auction list was released, the entire Saint Yuan Continent went crazy.

In the eyes of many people, treasures are not a big deal; Fang Yun's autographed poems are the focus of the auction.

Although those poems were not the first and were not particularly powerful, they were copied by Fang Yun himself after all.

There are very few autographed works by Fang Yun who is living abroad. Even if Fang Yun makes no progress in the future, a single autographed work by the "Poetry Ancestor Xu Sage" is a top-notch collection, second only to the autographed works by all the saints. Not to mention wealthy families, even many aristocratic families who like to collect are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.

Putting the "Three Character Classic" written by Fang Yun into the family study can definitely affect the entire family. The teaching methods of the "Poetry Ancestor" and the "Void Sage" that exist in the dark are enough to make the geniuses of the family turn over. times.

The teaching methods of the "Three Character Classic" combined with the luck of the semi-saint have an extremely huge impact on a wealthy family.

Many people are even betting, because once Fang Yun becomes a semi-sage, the effect of personally writing the "Three Character Classic" will increase tenfold.

However, the auction made a restriction, which made the Lei family very popular.

This auction clearly stipulates that the Lei family is prohibited from appearing, and the auction items are prohibited from being traded or given to the Lei family in any way. Otherwise, Fang Yun has the right to repurchase them at the original price.

However, the threshold for this auction is extremely high. People from wealthy or semi-saint families can enter directly, but if others want to enter, they must show a hundred thousand taels of silver notes.

This threshold alone makes countless people feel frustrated.

In the early morning of the third day after the early spring literary meeting, Fang Yun took his family and two private soldiers of the demon princes and took an ordinary carriage to the most prosperous street in the capital, Zhuque Street.

Zhuque Street can accommodate ten horses and carriages running parallel to each other. There are a large number of shops and buildings on both sides, and there is a constant flow of people coming and going.

Today, there are more people than in the past. The heads of the major families or wealthy families in Jingguo all went to Zhuque Street and poured into the famous Chen's Pawn Shop.

Chen's Pawn Shop is the property of the Chen Sheng family. It is mainly engaged in pawning and holds two auctions every year.

After Fang Yun entered the pawn shop, he walked to the box on the third floor under the enthusiastic leadership of the manager.

Along the way, everyone who met Fang Yun greeted him respectfully, and Fang Yun also smiled and greeted him.

Fang Yun was almost sent to the third floor by everyone with envy and admiration. No Jinshi in the world could have such honor.

The auction venue of Chen's Pawn Shop was designed and built by the Mohists. It usually consists of many rooms, but if necessary, it can be quickly transformed into a huge venue in six hours. It can seat thousands of people.

The innermost part of the auction venue is the auction table. Opposite the auction table is a large number of seats, and there are separate boxes on the east, west and south sides of the second and third floors, a total of thirty-six.

Fang Yun went straight into the private room in the middle of the third floor.

Nunu and Ao Huang curiously leaned on the railing in front of the private room, looking down, one whimpering, the other laughing. Outsiders could not understand what they were saying, but the dragon and the fox were chatting happily.

At this moment, it would take another quarter of an hour before the auction officially started. Fang Yun wanted to take the opportunity to study, but people from various wealthy families had already lined up outside the door to visit Fang Yun.

Fang Yun had no choice but to meet them one by one. The people from the wealthy families who could come to visit were at least Hanlin, and the people from the wealthy families who came to visit were at least the heads of the wealthy families. Those who were not heads of the wealthy families did not dare to come to see Fang Yun.

Fang Yun was a virtual saint.
