Chapter 472 Field Hunting

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Soon after the three evils were corrected, Yunyao received a bamboo slip from the palace, inviting her to participate in the field hunting.

    During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the emperor would participate in field hunting in order to show that he valued farming, so he would ride a carriage to hunt in the fields.  Today's kings also go hunting in the fields, but basically they just go around the fields, which is quite an outing. They take a large number of people out of the city. Not only do they hunt, but they also hold lively banquets.

    During this time, the tourists in Linzi were all spending money and purchasing, decking themselves out with bright clothes, strong bows and sharp arrows.

    The Mohists are all working overtime to do business and complete orders. Yunyao has long known that Tian Lie¡¯s day is nearby, and it seems that the day has been decided through divination.  The day after tomorrow, it will definitely be sunny.

    The baby still hopes to recommend Yunyao, so he plans to invite Yunyao to participate in a series of palace activities, using Qi's wealth and luxury to corrupt Yunyao and make her feel disparate.  Although Mohists have money but can't spend it, let Qi, a country that has practiced "extravagant" for hundreds of years, teach them what consumption is.

    Baby believes that few people in the world can reject the atmosphere of a great power in Qi. Even Mencius, who didn't like to talk about profit, had to blend in after coming to Jixia Academy. At least twenty cars were waiting for him when he went out, and hundreds of people were waiting for him.  Surrounded.  Sometimes even Mencius' disciples feel that Mencius, a person who promoted benevolence and righteousness, should not be so extravagant and wasteful.  But there was nothing Mencius could do. Qi State had such a custom that if you didn¡¯t integrate into it, you wouldn¡¯t be able to implement your ideas.

    In Jixia Academy, a hundred schools of thought contended. As the top scholar in the academy, Mencius not only represented himself, but also represented the academy and the state of Qi.  If the students of the Academy saw that the top scholars in the Academy were treated like walking and living frugally, then they would not be eager to enter the Academy to show their ambitions.

    ¡° Buying bones with a thousand gold is a common way for countries to attract talents.  Besides, Mencius himself is not a bone, but a genuine thousand-mile horse, and in the wealthy and powerful Qi State, it is natural to decorate it with a lot of gold, not only because he is talented and learned, but also because he wants to set an example for the world's talents.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT!  Wouldn't it be better than Mencius to go to Qi by himself?  So all the talented people came to Qi.

    Therefore, Qi's "extravagance" is not only an economic strategy to promote consumption, but also a strategy to attract talents.

    ??Bangbaozi just hopes to invite Yunyao more and let her experience the luxury that the Mo family does not have, so as to split Yunyao and the Mo family.

    "Are you going to participate?" Zheng Dan asked.

    "Go." Yunyao knew that there would be many wanderers participating in the field hunting, just in time to find talents.

    Zhuang Zhou said he didn¡¯t want to go. What he saw and heard in Linzi during this period made him extremely disappointed. He might as well play more mahjong.

    "Although ink cards are interesting, you have to balance work and rest, and you have to go outdoors to see." Yunyao had to take everyone with him. Anyway, it was just to see, but it didn't necessarily mean hunting.

    "Let's go together. Xu Ziming will definitely go too. He has been looking forward to seeing you again since last time." Qingji said that Duke Xu missed Zhuang Zhou very much and this was a good opportunity to meet.

    The tourists in the streets and alleys are all dressing up, hoping to perform well during hunting and win rewards.

    Zhuang Zhou could only put on a very uncomfortable robe, hang up a heavy iron sword, and pretend to be cool, because he didn't know how to use a sword. Although he had learned the basic moves, he had long forgotten them.  He is a brain type, not a hands-on type.

    But even if you don¡¯t know how to do it, you still have to bring it, because this is the standard equipment for travellers.  Even if the sword is a broken sword, you still have to carry it. Having it and not having it are two different things. Old or new is one thing. Carrying a sword is a symbol of status.

    It would be better to bring a bow and arrow, after all, you need to pretend.

    King Qi will bring his famous dog imported from South Korea. You can definitely watch the performance of the dog chasing the rabbit, and you can see how fast the rabbit runs when fleeing for his life.

    On the day of the field hunting, the girl Pan'er brought a convoy to pick up Yunyao and others, and headed out of the city in a mighty manner.

    The carriage cover was like clouds, and the horses' hooves were like scales. Not only were the hunting tourists gathering on their way to the outskirts of the city, but many small merchants and hawkers were also following them, so the procession was huge and winding for several kilometers.

    "Speaking of bows and arrows, I thought about whether the arrows discussed with Hui Shi were stationary." After arriving at the destination, Zhuang Zhou immediately began to chatter.

    Pan'er took everyone to the venue prepared for them by Baby, and the seats were ready.

    "Everyone, please take a seat."

    Being able to have a seat is already considered a distinguished guest. Most tourists stand far away and cannot get close.  Although Yunyao and others were seated at the end, they could at least see King Qi clearly.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?It is very large, with large and small venues surrounded by colorful silk cloth, and many Qi national flags are erected. These venues are used for performances and competitions.  There are many people, and there are many rewards. Depending on the size of the prey, the King of Qi will give rewards.

    ????????????????????? Woof woof woof¡­

    The barking of dogs is endless, and each dog is full of energy, which shows that they are all well-raised.  There are a lot of people cooking in the back, and the aroma of the ingredients is already spreading.

    ¡°It¡¯s really lively.¡± Yao Zhuang, who also disguised herself as a man, was nervous and excited to participate in such a grand opportunity for the first time.

    "It is indeed grander than the hunting in the Song Dynasty." Zhuangzi also admitted that the Qi Kingdom was rich, so its scale was several times larger than the Song Kingdom. Just listening to the barking of the dogs, you can tell that there were more dogs than the Song Dynasty.

    ??????????????????? But under such wealth, one is selling one¡¯s son and daughter.

    At this time, a motorcade stopped, and a energetic middle-aged man filed in with a group of decent scholars and entered the venue. It was none other than Master Meng from Jixia Academy.

    The pomp was very large, and there were many disciples. They sat in groups close to the high platform, that is, close to King Qi.

    Mencius was indeed upright, as dazzling as a sharp sword, and exuded self-confidence. He was obviously convinced of his own opinions.  His righteousness indeed transcends the benevolence of the nobility, and is a proposition that can attract more landowners to join. It is indeed an idea that is in line with the main theme of this era.

    Mencius¡¯ eyes quickly swept across the scene, not stopping at Yunyao and the others. He quickly sat upright, looking at his nose, nose, and mind, entering a state similar to meditation.

    It took a long time for King Qi to appear, and almost everyone had arrived.  As soon as the King of Qi arrived, he announced the start of the field hunting and announced that the person with the largest prey would be rewarded with a hundred gold, which received a lot of praises of "The King is wise".

    King Qi happily accepted everyone's praise for himself, and then chatted with the guests present, that is, he avoided the table and chose to talk.

    The so-called "avoiding the seat to choose your words" is a kind of social etiquette in the Warring States Period. When expressing opinions and opinions, in order to show respect for everyone, you have to leave your seat before speaking.

    The content published is usually some beautiful words, or some correct nonsense that is correct but of no use. After all, it is better to say nonsense than to say the wrong thing in this situation. If you just say this, everyone will listen to it, and the party will be happy.  It's over, everyone goes back to their homes and lives in peace.

    Everyone spoke enthusiastically, which made Yunyao feel sleepy.

    King Qi was also very tired from listening, but he had no choice but to listen. What he wanted to do most now was to get through it quickly, and then start chasing rabbits and show off his famous Korean dogs to everyone.
