Chapter 466 Three Heroes
In today's world, if Qin is recognized as the most powerful country in military power, most people will probably vote for Qi as the most cultured country.

The most important reason for this is the existence of Jixia Academy.

This school was first built in the period of Duke Huan of Qi. In order to help the emerging Tian Qi regime attract talents, he ordered to build a majestic school near Jimen in Linzi, the capital of Qi.Afterwards, with the gradual prosperity of Qi State during the period of King Qi Wei and King Xuan, this school gradually developed and reached its peak stage.

The contention of a hundred schools of thought first originated here, and countless books were born in this academic palace. At that time, "Scholar under the Jixia" was a title that everyone yearned for and could very well represent one's academic level.

Representative figures of Taoism, Confucianism, law, name, military, agriculture, yin and yang, light and heavy, etc., such as Mencius, Chunyu Kun, Zou Yan, Shen Dao, Shen Buhai, Yin Wenzi, Lu Zhonglian, Xunzi, etc. Going in and out of it seems to be the only world cultural and academic exchange center in the Warring States Period.

Although the state of Qi gradually declined in the late Warring States period, the name of Jixia Academy had already been established, and until now it is still the academic holy place that is infinitely yearned for by many students.

A school that has not fought against other heroes in the Jixia Academy, its theory will not be recognized by all schools of thought, and it can be regarded as a wild school at best.

And now Jixia Academy's sacrificial wine is a master-level figure who is astonishing in the past and the present-Confucian Xun Kuang!
However, Chi Yao who arrived in Linzi did not intend to visit Jixia Academy immediately, but after saying goodbye to Nian Duan's master and apprentice, he swaggered through the city in that five-frame luxury carriage and arrived at the entrance of a restaurant.

"Haiyue Xiaozhu, this is it!"

Chi Yao stopped the carriage.

"Guest officer, do you want to stay at the top or stay in the hotel?"

Because this carriage was too eye-catching, Chi Yao came all the way, followed by many people who came to see the excitement, and the shop waiter also came out early to welcome him.Seeing such an exaggerated outfit at this time, I can't help being a little speechless.

"Eat first, then stay in the hotel."

Chi Yao ordered, "By the way, help me take care of the chariot and horses."

"Okay! Please."

After all, he was working in one of the top restaurants in Linzi, Xiaoer's psychological quality was still good, he just came back to his senses after being dazed for a while, and then responded loudly.

Judging from his more than ten years of work experience, he must have met a big client this time. If he serves well, he may get more rewards than he has earned in the past ten years.

Under the ardent hospitality of Xiao Er'an, Chi Yao Shi Shiran came to a box facing the sea with a wide view.

"Please sit down, this is the best view of our Haiyue Xiaozhu."

Xiao Er's tone was three parts flattering, three parts proud, three parts expectant and one part apprehensive.

"not bad."

Chi Yao looked around and said calmly, then casually threw him a piece of silver.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

After Xiao Er took it, she smiled happily, thanked her repeatedly, and her attitude became more and more attentive.

"Give me a taste of all your signature dishes, and the best wine."

"No problem, just wait."

After a while, a series of delicacies with all kinds of color, fragrance and taste were presented, and the most eye-catching one was a dish of shark's fin and bear's paw placed in the middle of the table.

The owner of Haiyue Xiaozhu came here with the dishes.

"I met Mr. Chi."

The boss is a middle-aged man who looks quite blessed, with a smile on his face, he bowed his hands and saluted.

"you know me?"

Chi Yao was a little puzzled.

"The master of the Chi family school, the name of the daughter of a genius doctor has been spread throughout the country of Qi a few days ago. I heard that your next stop is to go to the academy to debate. Many of us are looking forward to it!"

The boss looked forward to it, "You are willing to condescend to come to our Haiyue Xiaozhu to appreciate the glory. It really makes the small shop flourish. In order to express my gratitude, I will pay all your expenses in our place."

"Hehe, then thank you boss for your kindness."

Chi Yao didn't refuse, but picked up the wine glass, "Come on, it's fate to meet each other, and I'll toast the boss as a thank you for the hospitality."

"Good talk, good talk."

The boss was inexplicably surprised, and the hand holding the wine glass was shaking.

After all, although many high-ranking officials and scholars have come to his restaurant, there are really not many great sages who are willing to drink with him, the restaurant owner.

That's right, in the heart of the boss, Chi Yao has been upgraded from a genius doctor to a great virtuous.

"Don't be nervous. I'm new to Linzi, and everything is unclear. If the boss has spare time, why don't you stay and explain to me?"

Chi Yao put down his wine glass and comforted him.

"If you have time, of course you do!"

The boss nodded again and again, then knelt down and sat at Chi Yao's lower position, "I don't know what sir wants to know?"

"Well... I'm here mainly to make the school famous, so let's talk about things related to Jixia Academy first. Who are the talented people there?"

"Jixia Academy, no problem."

The boss thought for a while, and said, "Now Xun Qing is serving the sacrificial wine in the academy. This is the third time he has served as the sacrificial wine in the academy. The most active talents in the academy are the three disciples of Confucianism. Fu Nian, Han Fei and Li Si are known as the Three Heroes. The latter two are Xun Qing's disciples, and the former one is said to be the most promising disciple to succeed Confucianism... Besides, there are famous scholars, peasant families, and military strategists , The Mohists have disciples who live here..."

After all, he is just a restaurant owner, and most of the news is heard from the mouths of the diners, and most of them are superficial.However, rambling is enough to help Chi Yao form a basic understanding.

Jixia Academy has indeed passed its most glorious stage at this time. Although there are still hundreds of schools gathered, the only ones who are qualified to be called "Zi" are Jijiu Xun Kuangyu's favorite disciple Han Fei.

And Fu Nian, the future head of Confucianism, should not be underestimated.

"What about Qi State? I heard that this is the headquarters of Confucianism? What about other schools of thought?"

"That's right, there are countless Confucian students gathered in Little Sage's Village, so the base camp is quite appropriate."

The boss nodded and said, "In addition, there are many people from the Qingzhong family here. As for other schools, there are not many people, and they basically gather in the academy."

The so-called light and heavy scholars are economic theorists represented by Guanzi, also known as the Guanzi School.It was the cornerstone of the core theory that Guan Zhong assisted Duke Huan of Qi to achieve hegemony. It has always been valued in Qi State, and it can be regarded as a local school.

It's just that after Guanzi, there is a lack of new representative figures, and compared with the long-standing Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism and other schools, there is a tendency to gradually decline.

After drinking and eating, Chi Yao was just about to go to rest for a day or two to wash off the dust on the road, but he heard that an envoy from the king of Qi came to invite him to the palace for a talk.

"King Qi...then go see him."
