Not long after Wang Xiaotao left, Xiang Que was almost drunk and left too. That night, he found a small hotel in Qufu and slept.
Confucianism has to be solved slowly, bit by bit. The mountaineering team who climbed Mount Everest wanted to climb the mountain in a day or two, but this is impossible, and the mountain has to be climbed step by step. , and the problem with Confucian Mansion has to be solved step by step, no matter how urgent you are, you can't eat a fat man with one bite.
The next day, Xiang Que didn't get up until it was three o'clock in the morning. After packing up and having some food, he took a taxi.
"Master, do you know where the Confucian Mansion is?" Xiang Que asked after getting into the car.
"Which Confucian mansion?"
"How many Confucian residences?" Xiang Que asked in surprise.
"Those who admire Confucius have to go to the former residence of Confucius. People who come to Qufu for tourism go there. There is also a Confucian mansion where the Confucian family lives now. It is not far from the urban area."
Xiang Que said: "Let's go to the place where the descendants of Confucius lived."
"Take a taxi for two hundred," said the driver.
"It's not short of money, go ahead, if you want to see it, you have to see a living person, what kind of former residence are you looking at, are you right, master"
The driver drove on the road, and then said: "However, it is not so easy for you to see the Confucian Mansion. The Confucian Mansion is in a mountain. It is said that the government of that mountain has long been contracted to the Kong family indefinitely. There is a sign at the foot of the mountain called Idlers." No entry, my car can¡¯t get in when I get to the bottom of the mountain, only the Kong family can get in, but you can sneak around the gate at the bottom of the mountain and climb up from the side.¡±
Xiang Que started chatting with the driver, and the topic was nothing more than the Confucian mansion. In a city, if anyone knows the city's culture, history and modern conditions best, it must be the taxi driver. Helping people¡¯s understanding of the local area is not much different from an encyclopedia. Taxi drivers are in contact with people every day. They run around the streets and alleys every day. Over the years, their heads are filled with countless news about the city they live in. Very comprehensive.
"Hey, master, let me ask you." Xiang Que asked, "Are the Confucian family in this Confucian mansion very famous in Qufu?"
"Hehe, that's quite famous. Let's just talk about the local parent officials in Qufu. The top leaders have been surnamed Kong over the years, and it has never changed. The iron-clad officials in the Confucian mansion, the rules of the Kong family have never been in Qufu for a day. haven't changed"
"The country treats the Kong family really well"
The driver said: "How can I say this? After all, the name of the Kong family is here. Half of the industry in Qufu is done by the Kong family. You can say that the real estate developed by us in the past ten years, one-third The second one was built by the Confucian family, and there are many surrounding cities extending from Qufu. I heard that the Confucian family has a lot of business not only in China, but also in foreign countries, such as Taiwan. It seems that most of the Confucian family are there now. However, there are very few Confucians in Qufu. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Qufu was the former residence of Confucius, their roots were here. If the Confucian family had to stay here, everyone might have moved out of Qufu a long time ago. After all, this is just a small town. city ??only¡±
"Then do you know who is in charge of the Kong family now?"
"Then who knows, the Kong family is also very low-key. Although their business stalls are so big, they do business very authentically. For example, housing prices outside Qufu are six to seven thousand per square meter, but our local housing prices have always been Stuck at 5,000, as long as it is a real estate opened by the Kong family, the price will remain unchanged, which directly leads to other real estate developers not raising prices."
"Then the Kong family has a good reputation," Xiang Que asked.
The driver hummed and said, "The people of the Kong family are quite conscientious, at least they didn't harm their parents and folks. In fact, if you think about it, if the Kong family doesn't do well, they will be scolded by our local people. Confucius must not lift the coffin board? If you want to be pitted, you have to go outside the pit. Our place is not very rich, so why not trap us?"
Xiang Que smiled, it¡¯s not that people in the Confucian family are too benevolent and righteous, if you really don¡¯t care about maintaining the prosperous age that Confucius saved for future generations, it will be exhausted sooner or later. It¡¯s a theorem that the wealth can¡¯t be more than three generations, and wealthy families are also afraid of this The situation happened to him, and the Confucian family was quite reasonable on this point. Otherwise, if the Confucian family was not benevolent, the foundation laid by the Confucian saint would be defeated by them sooner or later.
At this time, the taxi had already left the urban area, and after getting on a national road, the front began to get remote, and a mountain range appeared in the distance.
Behind the taxi, a convoy suddenly drove over. The driver turned his head and looked: "Hey, who's such a big scene? I haven't seen it for some years. It's quite scary."
A convoy roared by the side of the taxi, and Xiang Que turned his head to take a look. The scene of this convoy was indeed quite magnificent. At the beginning, there were two magnificent Audi A8s, followed by?The three Rolls-Royces are all hung with photos of Zhejiang A. The cars are awesome but the photos are even scarier. The end number of the license plate starts from the first car is 0123, the next one is 0124, and the last one is 0124. It's 0125, all of which are consecutive numbers, which is even more difficult than having three consecutive license plate numbers. Behind the Rolls-Royce is a custom-made Maybach with a yellow plate, and the body is six meters long. .
This is a fleet comparable to a luxury auto show. The combined value of a dozen or so cars has already exceeded 100 million. In the past, it was always reported on the Internet that a rich man in a certain place married his daughter and a wife. It is relatively easy to see on the Internet. Anyone who understands the fleet in the past today can tell that the cars are all specially customized. They are completely different from those so-called luxury cars. They cannot be bought with money. , Then it's really Hao.
All of them are cars from Zhejiang, and they drove from Hangzhou to Qufu. What is the picture?
After the convoy passed by, the driver pouted and said with emotion: "Every year, this kind of situation will happen when the Kong family worships their ancestors. Brother, let me tell you that Qufu was old and unrestrained at that time, and the streets and alleys were full of all kinds of luxury. The cars are all from all over the country. I heard that there are private jets parked at the airport in Jinan, and the yachts parked in the waters of Qingdao are all owned by the Kong family. It¡¯s so overbearing.¡±
"The family is big, the business is big, and there are so many people. The number of Confucian children has grown to over ten thousand. Of the tens of thousands of people, there are always a few outstanding ones. This is the historical heritage of the thousand-year-old family, and it is deep."
Not long after, the taxi stopped at the bottom of a hillside. There was a road leading to the top of the hill tens of meters ahead, but it was blocked by a large black iron gate. There was a sign beside the gate, Private Idlers are not allowed to enter the territory.
Twenty minutes before Xiang Que got off the car, the luxury convoy also drove down the hillside, and then drove straight along the mountain road to the top of the mountain.
