    Chapter 95 Three people you need to remember

    "I know that Mr. Luo from Hongxiu Zhao has taught you some skills. His Majesty had a good impression of you when you entered Changchun Garden last time, but this does not mean that you are guaranteed to enter the Yanwu Academy. Since you are also from the Sui Dynasty official army,  Then of course you know that President Zhou of the Yanwu Academy is a very strange and special person. He may not like it if he likes it, but your Majesty will never interfere too much in the affairs of the Yanwu Academy. "

    ??Wu Yiyi waved to the maid to come over and change the tea. This pot of single-branch Dahongpao has only been poured out after adding water three times. I have to say that the life of the richest man is too extravagant.  Wuyishan Dahongpao claims to be brewed nine times without losing the scent of osmanthus. Such expensive tea was only brewed three times before being thrown away, so Fang Jie couldn't help but curl his lips.

    Wu Daodao didn't care about his little move. He smiled and said, "I can't bear to part with it, because I bought it with real money. But when a person reaches a certain height, he can't help himself with many things, even if he pretends to be free and easy.  . For example, when it comes to drinking tea, if people know that I brew a pot of tea nine times, it will immediately attract a lot of ridicule. "

    He stood up and walked to the lotus pond and took a deep breath of the moist air. He was about to sigh, but suddenly he remembered that Fang Jie had peed not far away, so he immediately turned around and walked back: "I  I have never been afraid of ridicule, but my business is afraid. You can imagine that at my level, any bad news can affect my business For example, if I really brew this pot of tea nine times.  Throw it away, and someone will immediately and seriously deduce that I don¡¯t have much money in my hand, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t be so stingy.¡±

    "Then what?"

    He asked Fang for an explanation.

    Fang Jie replied without thinking: "Then those who gave you the goods first and haven't received the payment will immediately come to test you. It's okay to test, but there will always be some fools who believe the rumors. When there are more and more fools, even if  No matter how strong Huotongtian is, it can't help but dig out bit by bit like ants digging a hole. What's most scary is that if the ants dig too much, the dam will be shaken by a wave. "

    "clever"

    Wu Daodao smiled, pointed to his yard and said: "I have a title now, so I have to be low-key. But being low-key depends on where you are. You can raise your posture higher in trivial matters, which is beneficial and harmless.  ¡±

    Fang Jie nodded and said, "Actually, I have always thought that businessmen are scary."

    "Why?"

    Wu Yiyi asked.

    "It seems that the status of businessmen in the Sui Dynasty is not high. When they meet on a narrow road, even if they meet a poor farmer, the businessman has to give way. But this is a matter on the surface. Secretly, the businessman has many means to make this  The farmer died without a burial place.¡±

    "This is too dark."

    Wu Daodao shook his head slightly, not wanting to get entangled in this topic: "I heard that you somehow managed to coax even the most highly respected academicians in the imperial court. A few days ago, I met Niu Huilun, the academician of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Shuhua Pavilion.  When we had tea with Grand Scholar Zhuang Chuyu, these two adults were full of praise for you."

    "A pure literati is much more lovable than a pure official."

    Fang Jie said with a smile.

    "Why is your perspective on people and things always so dark"

    Wu Dao rolled his eyes at him and said: "But you are right. Although those bachelors are all from famous families, and they are so arrogant that it makes people uncomfortable. But they are the ones who don't care about family status in the officialdom.  People all say that men of letters despise each other This is not always the case. Those few bachelors, when they reach their level, there is no need to compete with others. Apart from knowledge, the only thing that can be compared is magnanimity.  . So they can tolerate others even if they cannot tolerate them, and they also like to recruit young talents to their disciples. They claim to be mentoring and promoting young and promising students, but in fact they are just giving themselves a good appearance."

    He smiled and said: "You have never seen how boring the erotic scenes are when several great bachelors sit together and compete with each other to see who has more disciples. The one with fewer disciples will do more great things than the disciple officer.  If you are not as promising as your disciples, you will be more talented than your disciples. In the end, you will be red-faced and want to fight with a cane. "

    "But there is one thing"

    Wu Yiyi summarized: "They are tolerant and willing to show their magnanimity to help rising stars. But they cannot tolerate young people climbing on them before they die. Of course, they are not even willing to die if they can help it.  Someone will climb over them later. So no matter how powerful you are in the future, you must show enough humility and respect to them. It may seem like they have no power, but the greatest asset that great bachelors have is their many disciples  Have you ever had a minister or a general?""Thank you!"

    Fang Jie bows sincerely.

    Wu Yiyi waved his hand and said: "I'm just in a good mood today, so I'll have a few chats with you. It would be boring if you thanked me so seriously. I don't charge you money to buy information or knowledge, and you don't need to either.  Say thank you. Of course, if you really feel sorry for yourself and insist on giving me even one tael of silver, I will definitely not be dissatisfied with it. "

    Fang Jie smiled, feeling very warm in his heart.  Although he knew that a businessman like Wu Daodao, who could become the richest man in the Sui Dynasty, would never waste time and words with a worthless nobody, Wu Daodao's previous words were intended to remind him intentionally or unintentionally. This was a favor.

    ¡°Besides, I¡¯m a businessman.¡±

    Wu Daodao smiled and said: "I only care about profits. I am telling you so much because I think you have a future. It is more beneficial to give favors in advance than to try to trick you later when you become prosperous. Although talking to you now is not a timely help, it is still better than doing it in the future.  A few years of icing on the cake will make it easier for you to remember my goodness.¡±

    ??Honestness, a rare honesty found in businessmen.

    "I may not be able to achieve great success just like you said."

    Fang Jie¡¯s answer is to seek truth from facts.

    "Hypocrisy"

    Wu Yiyi rolled his eyes at him, smiled and asked, "Do you know what is the biggest secret to my success?"

    Wu Yiyi mentioned this topic before when chatting with Fang Jie, and Fang Jie remembered it.  Wu Daodao said that he lost all his money in business three times. Later, he no longer believed in feelings but relied on the experience of failure and more observation, inquiry and thinking to gradually become successful.

    "Is it eyesight?"

    Fang Jie tentatively answered.

    "fart!"

    Wu Daodao smiled and said: "Cast more nets and form good relationships. Who knows which one of the nets you cast will catch a big fish? It doesn't require any investment and may yield big harvests. The more you do, the better. Don't be disgusted."  Trouble, don¡¯t blame the young man for being poor Even if the young man is really poor all his life, he will still think of me, right? For example, today, I didn¡¯t give you a copper coin, nor did I place any bet on you, I just chatted with you.  , It¡¯s not a big investment, but it may pay off. So I never hesitate to spend more time talking to young people. Now, four of the nine big shopkeepers in the world are through this kind of negotiation.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    Wu Yinyu's teeth were itching with hatred. When he first met Fang Jie outside Chang'an City, he felt that there was something unusual about this young man, so he was inevitably curious and even wanted to play with him for some fun.  After returning to the imperial capital, she had no contact with this young man. In addition, she had something to worry about, so she forgot about Fang Jie.

    But today, she was really irritated by the boy's urine.

    When she thought of the lotus pond, she started to regurgitate something from her stomach.  From now on, she could no longer take off her shoes and go barefoot to play with fish and shrimp in the pond, which made her even more irritated as she was already having no fun.  The more I think about it, the more disgusted I feel, and the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

    A girl of fourteen or fifteen years old is still at the age where she doesn¡¯t act rationally.  What's more, how could a spoiled young lady like her endure such a tone?

    "Cuckoo"

    She sat on the edge of the bed and bit her lip and asked: "Do you still have the laxative we gave to Yuyang Hou's prodigal son last time? It's the same idiot who chased after me endlessly when I was a guest last time.  ¡±

    "There seems to be someMiss, what do you want to do?"

    "You go and bring some snacks to father and the others later, and put the laxatives in them."

    "ah?"

    Du Juan exclaimed: "Doesn't that mean that even the master has received the medicine?!"

    "fool!"

    Wu Yinyu pouted and said, "My father only eats snacks that have a slight salty taste, and never eats desserts. For the snacks that will be served later, I only take sweet ones. The sweeter the better."

    "I forgot about it!"

    Du Juan was also annoyed by Fang Jie's rogue behavior of urinating into the lotus pond, and hit it off with Miss Wu Yinyu.  The two little girls took action immediately. Du Juan went to the kitchen to get desserts, while Wu Yinyu smashed the laxative that Du Juan had found into pieces with a small hammer.  When Du Juan came back panting with a plate of desserts, the two little girls looked at the powder on the table and laughed evilly.

    Wu Yinyu closed his eyes, and his mind was full of images of that bastard rushing into the toilet again and again.

    By the lotus pond

    Wu Yidao pointed to the sky and explained: "The sky you saw in Fangu City is no different from the sky you saw in the Imperial Capital. But what you should understand is that in Fangu, the sky is very high.  , but in the imperial capital, the sky is by no means as high as it seems. Maybe you can touch the sky if you are given a chance.Empty, skyrocketing.  In Fangu, even if you stand on the city wall, you can't touch it.  "

    "Butjust because you may be able to touch the sky, it is very dangerous. One moment it is a clear blue sky, and the next moment it may be overcast with clouds and lightning. When you stand tall, you must first stabilize your foundation so that you will not fall.  ¡±

    "The Yanwu Academy is your foundation."

    Wu Yiyi turned around and looked at Fang Jie and said, "Don't waste it."

    He pondered for a while and said: "I won't spend money to bribe the examiners to help you get through. Everyone knows that the professors and examiners of the Yanwu Academy are very honest and annoying, but I know that the people in the Yanwu Academy are actually not honest at all. The cashier  They collect money more harshly than anyone else Of course, there is a big difference between the cashiers of the Yanwu Academy and the cashiers of corrupt officials. You know that nine out of ten people recommended by various cities have no real ability. If they hadn't taken the examination of the Yanwu Academy, they would be  Give them more bragging rights so they won¡¯t bother to travel thousands of miles to suffer.¡±

    "It is precisely because many people want to go around in the Yanwu Academy to increase their reputation and the qualifications they will need in the future, so there are not a few people who give money. The Zhou Yard of the Yanwu Academy secretly never refuses the money that comes to the door. Who gave it to him?  He didn't hesitate to open a back door and put it in. It is said that His Majesty likes Zhou Yard's approach, because Zhou Yard will give the money intact to His Majesty. It is estimated that the large amount will make His Majesty smile. "

    "Even though I am rich and admire you very much, I am not willing to give you tens of thousands of taels of silver. There is not much I can do to help you, and telling you who is worth noting is one of them."

    He sat down and said in a gentle tone: "First, you need to have a good relationship with the people recommended by the same Ministry of War. Most of these people come from poor families, so they are very united. Once you have a good relationship with them, it will be of great help to you in the future.  Among the military candidates in the Yanwu Academy this year, there are three people who are most noteworthy. At least they look far more brilliant than you in the submitted materials. "

    "Wang Wei, the commander of the army near Baishui City. It is said that he has a fourth-level cultivation level. If it were not for his poor background, he would be a school captain at the worst. Baishui City is located in southern Xinjiang, and there are many barbarians in the area.  The people are violent and barbaric, and they rebel every year. Wang Wei has a gentle name, but he is decisive and ruthless in his actions. In the past two years since he became a brigade leader, he has led his troops to massacre several unruly villages every year, killing people without mercy.  Forget it. Baishui City is under the jurisdiction of Yong County, so he is considered to be a member of the left vanguard general Luo Yao. "

    "Arrogant, the troops surrounding Anyuan City are guarding. This man seems to be much gentler than Wang Wei, but you have to remember one thing Anyuan City is in the northeast of the empire. One side is surrounded by the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the other side is occupied by the Northern Barbarians.  Territory. The Northern Barbarians are much more barbaric than the people in the Northern Liao Territory. The Northern Barbarians are under the command of Khan Wan Yanyong, but the Northern Barbarians do not have a unified affiliation. They are like a group of wild beasts. Zhang Kuang was once in a tribe of Northern Barbarians.  After living for several years, he even married the daughter of the northern barbarian tribe leader. After gaining the trust of the northern barbarians, he immediately led the border troops to kill tens of thousands of people in one battle, and the northern border was stabilized for two years.  During the college examination, he was still cautiously alive among the northern barbarians and did not catch up. "

    "He killed the leader of the Northern Barbarian tribe and his Northern Barbarian wife with his own hands."

    Wu Yidao added something and then continued: "Mo Xiandao, the scout team leader of Phoenix Terrace in the border city of Eastern Xinjiang has the same background as you. The difference is that his contribution is much greater than yours. Two years ago,  Because of his hatred of the Sui Dynasty, a general from the Eastern Chu Kingdom planned to lead his troops to sneak attack on the Phoenix Tower. The guard of the Phoenix Tower, who somehow knew the news, sent Mo Xidao to sneak into Dongchu to investigate. "

    "As a result, after he went there, he killed all one hundred and sixteen members of the Dongchu general's family in one night. In the next thirteen days, he managed to escape from countless pursuers and even drew Dongchu.  The military garrison map on the Chu border. After he returns to Phoenix Tower, he will definitely not be rewarded for his achievements. Of course, the Sui military will never admit the existence of such a person who hurts the feelings between the Sui Dynasty and its allies. "

    "What these three people have in common is that they have very high cultivation levels, especially Mo Xiandaoperhaps he has reached level six or above. And the three of them are very smart, and can even be said to be scary smart. If not, they would  None of them will be able to complete their mission alive. A good grasp of these three people will be of great help to you."

    Fang Jie was listening intently, and while he was memorizing these three people in his mind, Wu Yiyi's words were suddenly interrupted by a little maid with delicate features. Only then did Fang Jie reach the point where Fang Jie had tall shoulders and looked skinny, holding a plate of food.  His heart and hands were shaking slightly, and he said with a trembling voice: "Master, Mr. Fang, would you like to have some snacks first?"
