    Linzi has a permanent population of 200,000, and it is very noisy before dawn. Cockfighting, dog fighting, gambling, and football are the biggest hobbies of Linzi people.  At the same time, a big cauldron was set up outside Jixia Academy today, and it was filled with firewood. Those who didn't know it thought someone was going to perform the unique skill of cooking themselves in the cauldron.

    In fact, this is an upgraded version of the debate, that is, if you say one more word, you will go into the big cauldron and cook yourself.  Everyone can only say what is stipulated, and cannot say more. It is also a kind of bet.

    Gambling is the most common entertainment activity in Linzi. After all, it is easy to become corrupted if you have money.  The small courtyard where Yunyao lived was mortgaged to the banker because the original owner lost all his money in gambling. Later, Qingji Yaoli bought it at a very fair price.

    This kind of thing is unimaginable in the Western Qin State. Now the Qin State is cooperating with Shang Yang's reforms to change the status of a weak country. The western border land is already poor, and anyone who dares to gamble will definitely be severely punished.  But in Linzi, not only people gambled, but King Wei of Qi also gambled. It was precisely because of gambling that Tian Ji horse racing came into being.

    During this period of Qi State, you can see a large number of historical celebrities: Zou Ji, Tian Ji, Sun Bin, Mencius, Shen Buhai

    Zou Ji competed with Duke Xu in the north of the city, and finally realized that his wife favored him, his concubine was afraid of him, and his guests wanted him as the Prime Minister of Qi.  Finally, he told King Qi Wei that the king had been deceived, because everyone on the left and right preferred King Qi Wei, the ministers were afraid of King Qi Wei, and the people of Qi State also sought help from King Qi Wei, so King Qi Wei could not hear anything.  the truth.

    So King Qi Wei ordered that anyone who could give him advice would be rewarded. No matter who he was, he could go into the palace to speak face to face, and even if he accused King Qi Wei of his own faults, he would still be rewarded.  As a result, the public was able to open up more channels of speech and rectify traitors, which made the atmosphere of Qi State greatly enlightened.

    However, although King Qi Wei has the temperament to dominate, he was born in a rich and comfortable country like Qi State, and it is impossible for him to be as thorough as Qin State's reforms.  Some talents, but they did not fundamentally change the problems faced by Qi.

    However, Qi is the furthest away from Qin, so it was the last country among the seven countries to be destroyed by Qin.

    Qin¡¯s strategic goals at the beginning were also very messy. It used Han and Wei to go to the east to attack Qi many times. However, even if such wars were won, the fruits of victory could not be preserved.  It wasn't until Fan Ju became the prime minister that he proposed the strategy of making friends with distant people and attacking close by, and eating every point he captured, and then the specific strategy of annexing the world came into being.  After that, it was decided to first occupy the barbarian lands of Ba, Shu, Han and other barbarian lands, and then attack Han and Wei. Taking into account both reputation and interests, Qin State suddenly became a rival to Chu State.  Thinking about guarding against Qin means thinking about guarding against Chu.

    Qin¡¯s reforms were fundamental and even more powerful than those of Wei.

    Qi State definitely couldn't do it, but because it couldn't do it, it was very comfortable. You can feel the leisurely people of Linzi when you breathe. Whenever they have time, they gather in groups to gamble.

    Cockfighting and dogfighting are the most common. Yunyao can hear the passionate barking of dogs in the distance in the courtyard. The most famous dogs these days are all bred in South Korea. They are very expensive and rare. They are basically only  It can only be seen in palace dog fighting competitions.

    The barking of the dog was very shrill, but the shouts of the surrounding gamblers were louder than the barking of the dog. The cheers and the sound of clashing knives and coins were endless. The intense scene seemed more lively than a wedding or funeral.

    "The king of Qi races horses and the people fight dogs. It's so lively." Yunyao thought to himself that the birthplace of Qi State is really great. The fishing, hunting, sea and salt resources are enough for them to lie down and eat. If the officials are reorganized a little, the whole country will be peaceful.  Scenes of singing and dancing.  No wonder Mencius can say that one is born in sorrow and dies in happiness.

    Zhuang Zhou went out early in the morning. This colorful world was very attractive to him, but he was not alone. He went out with Qingji and Kaori.

    Yao Zhuang is very worried, but now Yunyao wants to teach her mental skills and weaving, and she can't control her husband.

    Looking at Yao Zhuang's expression, you can tell that she and her husband are having trouble.  Therefore, it is better not to develop than to develop. If they do not meet Yunyao, the couple may be poor but their life can be considered harmonious. Zhuangzi goes to quarrel with others all day long, while Yao Zhuang works at home weaving, and the days pass by.  .

    But now that their knowledge has improved and they have rich experience, conflicts have surfaced.  Zhuang Zhou was envious of his wife, and Yao Zhuang felt for the first time that Zhuang Zhou didn't understand him.

    The beautiful young couple was about to be torn apart by the appearance of Yunyao.

    But Yunyao knows that the lack of development does not mean the absence of conflicts. If they can go through this test, their relationship will be even better in the future.

    Zhuang Zhou followed Qing Ji to leave, so naturally he asked the question he wanted to know most. He asked: "Two immortals, what is the immortal world like? Do the male immortals look up at the world and the female immortals weave and cook?"  ??¡±

    "What you are talking about is the mortal world. In the fairy world, it naturally depends on whose cultivation level is stronger. Those whose cultivation level is not enough can do the work." Qing Ji is a straightforward man who speaks his words directly.

    "How strong is Fairy Yunyao?"

    "It's hard to say. General, she is an exception. Although her strength is not top-notch, she is very lucky and has great abilities. She can treat innate spirit flowers and was named the Goddess of Flowers by heaven. Later, she cooked for Guan Zhong.  Mother, I worshiped Confucius and Mozi as my teachers, so I was entrusted with important tasks by the Heavenly Court and was named a general." These things are not secrets in the fairy world, but they are very impactful to mortals.

    "Guan Zhong, Confucius, Mo Zhai?" These are all existences that Zhuang Zhou could not even imagine. This woman actually knows them all and has studied with them?  Then isn't she an old witch who is hundreds of years old?

    No wonder he couldn't argue with her. Zhuang Zhou's subconscious was making excuses for himself, so he blurted out: "Isn't she just lucky?"

    But Qing Ji corrected her: "If it was just good luck, Guan Zhong, Kong Mo would not like her. There are countless people with good luck in the Three Realms, but the general is the only one who can be recognized by Kong Mo."  "

    "So what? Guan Zhong, Kong Mo is not a mortal yet?" Zhuang Zhou said.

    "They are not mortals. Although they are not among the Immortal Class, they have transcended the Three Realms and Five Elements, are not tainted by cause and effect, and are treated the same as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

    "Ah?" Zhuang Zhou was stunned. He didn't expect that a mortal would have such an adventure?  He suddenly gained confidence. It seemed that even if he didn't have a famous teacher, he could still rise to the top just by relying on his own talent.

    Zhuang Zhou fell into endless reverie. At this time, the three of them had arrived in front of the academy gate and saw the big cauldron set up at the door.

    "This is Jixia Academy. We are going to class. Will you come with us?" Qingji and Yaoli had already sneaked into Jixia Academy and became students there.

    Zhuangzhou looked around and saw two characters "Qi" hanging on the tall lintel. Even if he didn't know the characters of Qi, he knew that these two characters must be "Xue Gong".

    "Of course I want to go, but why is there a big cauldron at the door?" Zhuang Zhou looked at the big cauldron that could accommodate an adult in confusion.

    ¡°You¡¯ll find out when you come in with us.¡± Since Zhuang Zhou is willing to go in, let¡¯s go together. After all, Jixia Academy is an open school.

    Zhuang Zhou felt a very strong academic atmosphere. He, a country man, was incompatible with the students present, because Jixia Academy had very high regulations on appearance and appearance. Everyone was spotless, from the outside to the inside.  Make the request yourself.

    If there is no one to guide him, Zhuang Zhou, dressed as a peasant, will definitely not be allowed in. However, Qing Ji and Yao Li are very prestigious in Jixia Academy, so they guarantee that there will be no problem.  Zhuang Zhou did not regard himself as an outsider at all, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, he staged a Zhuangzi entering Jixia Academy.
