Chapter 644
"You don't know how to say it?"

Yuan Li was furious when he heard Liu Cai's words.

"If it weren't for your brother who can't beat eight poles, my father would come to the academy?"

"No, just because your father is coming to have a father-son game with you, do you think I hurt you?"

Liu Cai asked back with some dumbfounding.

Your Li family has a strong family style after all!
Make you afraid like this?

The so-called bystander clear.

Liu Cai is also very clear that the Great Qin Academy will start the next debate.

Even Liu Cai was the one who Liu Fei sent someone to contact Kong Yu and Bao Lingbai.

However, in his opinion, this matter is a very good thing for Yuanli.

In the last debate, Yuan Li became famous in the Daqin Academy, almost becoming a star student.

When ordinary people talk about the Daqin Academy, there are few people who don't know Yuanli.

In this debate about the conflict between old and new ideas, Yuanli is naturally at the center of the incident.

As long as this debate spreads, Yuanli's popularity will definitely increase.

What is the purpose of studying thousands of miles?
Isn't it just for the sake of fame, to make the parents look good!

Others study hard all their lives, but they still have to encounter opportunities to become famous all over the world.

When most people do this step, their hair and beard are all white.

You are only at the age of weak crown, and you are famous all over the world, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Besides, didn't you enjoy this state very much before?

The beauty of a gentleman's adulthood, I have thought about you so much, and I have been running around to promote this matter.

It's fine if you don't appreciate it, but instead slander me in public?
Yuan Cheno is inhuman!

Both of them were very good at eloquence, and they argued in public about this matter.

But everyone knows that even if they decide whether to win or lose today, it will be useless.

Because Yuan Ding is coming soon.

At Guanzhong Railway Station, accompanied by Liu Fei, Yuan Ding got off the train.

When he came to the platform, Yuan Ding turned his head and took a look at the huge steel giant standing behind him, whining and emitting thick white smoke.

Yuan Ding looked a little complicated.

When Liu Fei took him on the train, he was actually extremely disdainful.

In fact, he also knew that Liu Fei's current strategy was to retreat to advance.

Standing on the same front as myself in name, don't you actually want to do everything possible to convince yourself?
Yuan Ding's heart is like a bright mirror.

However, he did not expose Liu Fei's lies.

The reason why he agreed to Liu Fei to go to Guanzhong was not because Liu Fei's proposal moved him.

Mainly, he wanted to go to the Daqin Academy to take a look.

Yuan Ding is the son of Yuan Li.

Although he is old and has a son, unlike other families, his attitude towards his son has always been extremely strict.

Therefore, the relationship between father and son is extremely tense.

However, among the parents in the world, which one does not love their children?
Yuan Ding is 65 years old this year.

In the past, when he passed away at this age, it could be called a joyous funeral.

In the past when there was a lack of food and clothing and frequent wars, an adult male who lived to the age of 50 without disease or disaster was already considered a long-lived man.

Yuan Ding was afraid that if he fell asleep one day, he would never wake up again.

However, since his son left Gaoyang to study in Guanzhong, Yuan Ding has never seen him again for nearly two years.

Usually, the two exchange letters frequently, but they are basically arguing.

Both father and son have extremely rigid personalities, and neither of them is willing to bow their heads.

Yuanli didn't want to go home to see his father because he entered the Academy of Sciences.

Although Yuan Ding wanted to see his son, he refused to give in.

This time Liu Fei proposed to go to the Daqin Academy to debate with his son face to face, which happened to give Yuan Ding a step down.

However, in Yuan Ding's heart, seeing his son is one thing.

However, if you want him to change his opinion, there is no way.

Yuan Ding was born in a humble family and grew up poor.

When he was a child, in order to survive, he once worshiped under a craftsman.

But the craftsman used him like a servant, and usually only gave him some rotten leftovers.

If that's all, that's fine.

But the other party usually cut corners and was lazy and slippery, which left a very bad impression on Yuan Ding.

At the beginning, someone promised a lot of money to let that craftsman make the sword.

In the process of casting the sword, the craftsman wanted to refer to the methods of generals and Mo Xie, and used living sacrifices to refine it.

And the one he chose was Yuan Ding.

Although at the last moment, Yuan Ding personally killed him and escaped with his life.

However, this incident left a deep shadow in Yuan Ding's heart.

Therefore, Yuan Ding always believes that craftsmen are not good things.

Whether it is Gong Shuban's technique of disgusting victory or the technique of blood refinement, they are all heresies.

As for the craftsmanship they were proud of, in Yuan Ding's eyes, it was actually nothing special at all.

If you have a brain, what is there to show off?
The humble status of craftsmen in the past is not without reason.

Therefore, after Zhao Kun came to the throne, he used craftsmen wantonly and set up a science academy, which made Yuan Ding extremely dissatisfied.

Because of his childhood experience, Yuan Ding was extremely disgusted with craftsmen.

He believes that craftsmen are not worthy of a high position at all, and if they are allowed to participate in the great affairs of the state, it will be a big event full of monsters!
Although over the years, the Academy of Sciences has produced an endless stream of novelties.

But Yuan Ding never bothered to take the initiative to understand.

Most of the things used in his home retain the habits of the past.

He himself usually does not go out of the gate, and at most he just goes to the field he bought.

Yuan Ding also reads the newspaper, but whenever he sees the creation of the Academy of Sciences, he scoffs at it.

Either think it's exaggerated, or think it's just that.

The train is said to be able to move on its own without the need for cows and horses.

In Yuan Ding's eyes, this was almost a fantasy.

How is that any different than pulling yourself up into the air by pulling your hair?

Fallacy!

But this time by train, it almost destroyed Yuanding Sanguan!

The body of the train is huge, twenty feet long.

According to Liu Fei, a four-foot-long carriage can carry a thousand catties.

Just making a rough estimate in his mind made Yuan Ding click his tongue.

What's even more commendable is that after the train started, Yuan Ding felt unusually stable.

This kind of driving comfort was something he had never experienced in any carriage before.

In the land of China, people over fifty rarely go out.

I am afraid that the journey is far away, and if I am not careful, I will die in a foreign land.

But if you travel by train.
Yuan Ding didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Because he suddenly discovered that the creations of the Academy of Sciences, which he had always despised, were far more miraculous than he had imagined.

Yuan Ding didn't believe in evil, so he went to visit the cab that Liu Fei had mentioned.

At the front of the car, he saw something like a huge stove.

There are seven or eight tall and strong men who are constantly filling the stove with black coals that shine.

Yuan Ding knew this kind of thing.

It's just that he couldn't figure it out.

Why is this ordinary fire-making thing, after being thrown into that big furnace, able to burst out with such terrifying power.

With such doubts, Yuan Ding got off the train.

At this time, his mood was extremely complicated, but his mind was full of questions, and he wanted to find someone to solve it urgently.

For the first time in his life, he realized that he might have lost sight of Mount Tai.

The craftsman I have always despised is completely different from the researcher of the Academy of Sciences.

However, Yuan Ding is a stubborn old man after all.

It is not realistic for him to admit that he is wrong.

In a daze, Yuan Ding followed Liu Fei into the new-style carriage and rushed towards the Daqin Academy.

When they arrived at the Great Qin Academy, the sky was already getting dark.

Before entering the door, Yuan Ding heard the loud sound of reading from inside.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I have heard for a long time that the Great Qin Academy gathers the world's literary talents, and seeing it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Liu Fei just smiled and didn't speak.

Although he is in charge of the firm, he actually doesn't know a few big characters.

When Yuan Ding talked about these things with him, it was like playing the piano against a cow.

Liu Fei wanted to show off the Daqin Academy to the other party. The new-style community built by his construction company was near the Daqin Academy.

However, I am afraid that these words will definitely be ridiculed by the other party.

Hey, stubborn old man.

During this period of contact with Yuan Ding, Liu Fei felt a little dull.

I can only blame His Majesty for taking such good care of these old guys!
In the past, which sixty-seventy-year-old man would dare to breathe so long!
Especially Yuan Ding, who has only one child in his family.

The son is promising, and he can have something to depend on for his old age, so he secretly smiles without worrying about food and clothing.

Where does he have the mind to point out the country and criticize the current affairs?
To put it bluntly, it's all idle!

At this time, several people in the academy walked out quickly.

The first one was taught by a Confucian named Liu Shengtong.

Liu Shengtong was a disciple of Xiahuang Gong Cui Guang among the Four Greats of Shangshan, and his status was not too low among Confucianism.

Although Yuan Ding thought highly of himself, he had to admit that he was actually not well-known among scholars in the world.

Although Kong Yu, Bao Lingbai and others were responsible for today's event, but in Yuan Ding's capacity, it was not enough for the two chief and deputy priests to greet him in person.

In fact, Yuan Ding was deeply honored to be greeted by a Confucian gentleman like Liu Shengtong.

Liu Shengtong is also from Gaoyang, Chenliu, and is a fellow villager with Yuan Ding.

When he was young, he also asked Yuan Ding for advice, so he was regarded as Yuan Ding's junior.

Seeing Liu Shengtong, a wrinkled smile appeared on Yuan Ding's always serious face.

"When you came to the door in the past, I told you that you would become a great weapon in the future. In just a few decades, you have already become a teacher of the school. Among the scholars of Gaoyang, you should be the leader."

Complimentary words came out of Yuan Ding's mouth one after another, and Liu Fei beside him was dumbfounded.

These sour Confucians!

Liu Fei thought sourly.

After all, he is also the queen of the Han Dynasty. Even now, His Majesty still attaches great importance to the Liu family. After all, my aunt is likely to become His Majesty's concubine, but she has never been a good one in front of Yuan Ding.

I thought this old man had a bad temper and was like that to everyone.

Unexpectedly, seeing an ordinary gentleman from Confucianism, he would be like this.

Sure enough, only Confucian scholars can appreciate Confucian scholars!

Not only was Liu Fei on the side embarrassed, but Liu Shengtong, who was praised by Yuan Ding, was also embarrassed.

Lao Liu is an honest person, he has one thing to say, he thinks that in the school of Confucianism, his own knowledge is not even as good as students like Liu Cai.

The reason why he was able to assume the identity of a gentleman is entirely because of the honor of his teacher Cui Guang.

However, Yuan Ding praised himself so much, and he couldn't refuse.

It would seem a bit hypocritical to refuse.

What's more, Liu Shengtong also knew in his heart that Yuan Ding's main purpose of praising himself so much was to give others eye drops.

This other person is Yuan Li standing beside him with an extremely abnormal expression.

Yuan Li felt bitter.

The father and son hadn't seen each other for two years, but as soon as they met, his own father praised others like a flower.

Embarrassed by others, hurt by yourself!

Yuan Li only felt his face being slapped.

Unfortunately, he dared not say anything.

Yuan Li is too aware of his own temper, and now he can still slap himself in the face with weird words.

Whenever he dared to refute or say something inappropriate, Yuan Ding really dared to take off his shoes and beat him.

Afterwards, Yuan Ding greeted Lu Jia and others who came with Liu Shengtong one by one.

Finally it was Yuan Li's turn, he just snorted coldly and refused to look at him with a cold face.

Yuan Li's face turned red from holding back, and he called out "Father", and he took care of it.

Seeing the embarrassing situation, Liu Shengtong hurriedly called Yuan Ding into the academy.

"Master Yuan, three quarters after you hour is dinner time in the Academy. Kong Yu specially ordered me to offer wine, and you will be invited to the dining hall to share dinner with all the teachers."

Yuan Ding nodded with a smile, and came down to the dining hall surrounded by a group of people.

The dining hall of Daqin Academy is a hall located on the west side of the central square.

Because it is the highest school in Daqin, it was built with great care.

The tables and chairs that can be seen everywhere in the hall have different shapes.

Next to each set of tables and chairs, there are potted plants, rocks and other embellishments.

Although it is a place to eat, it looks extremely elegant.

Liu Shengtong directly led Yuan Ding to the second floor, which is a smaller area, the special dining hall for the teachers.

Here, Yuan Ding finally met Kong Yu and Bao Lingbai, two priests from the academy.

As a Confucian student, Yuan Ding had no feelings for Bao Lingbai.

This person who used to speak out in front of the first emperor, with Yuan Ding's temperament, really couldn't like him.

However, he has long admired the famous Confucian scholars such as Kong Yu and Shangshan Sihao.

Although he was only a few years younger than these people, but in front of them, he respectfully performed the disciple salute, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest.

No matter where you eat on any occasion, as long as there are Confucian scholars, others will be tortured by the red tape they pay attention to.

Not to mention that today's banquet is nominally the home of Confucianism.

The guest of honor at today's banquet is Yuan Ding, and the main ingredient is pig, which is pork.

Braised pork, stewed pork, pig's trotters in sauce, and fried pork with various vegetables were served like flowing water, which made Yuan Ding terrified.

At the end, a dish of roast suckling pig sprinkled with spices arrived.

Yuan Ding looked at the table full of rich meat and vegetables, and said with tears streaming down his face: "There is a saying in "Guoyu": The emperor eats too much food, cattle, sheep and pigs are all three animals, the princes eat cattle, the Qing eats sheep, the doctor eats pigs, and the soil eats fish. Sunburn."

"Yuan Ding is a member of the family, what virtue and ability, let the teachers and commanders treat him with the courtesy of a doctor!"
