Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 904
"Your Majesty!"

"Thousands of years, king!"

"See Your Majesty!"

Seeing that it was really Qingji, even the Right Prime Minister Kong Qiu and Zhi Su Neishi Zeng Dian knelt down to salute. Hundreds of scholars present all bowed to Qingji one after another, as if they were gods.

"Second and third sons are exempt from courtesy, and they are flat!"

"Thank you king!"

After everyone stood up, Qingji slowly walked forward.

It seems that there is no need to be too surprised by the appearance of Qing Ji.

Because, everyone in the world knows that Wu Wang Qingji often visits privately in disguise to understand people's sentiments.

In addition to large-scale tours across the country, Qingji will always appear from time to time in the county or around the capital.

Even if he had disguised himself, there were sharp-eyed people who could recognize Qingji.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

With a sad expression on his face, Kong Qiu bowed towards Qingji and said: "I am the sacrificial wine of Jixia Academy in Xianyang. I have the responsibility of being a great king, supervising and educating scholars for the Great Wu. Now that Xu Mu's death, The minister was negligent for a while, and it is hard to absolve himself of the blame."

"As a result, a pillar like Xu Mu died young because of playing around for a while..."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Qingji stepped forward, supported Kong Qiu, patted the back of his hand earnestly, and said, "Kong Qiu, what is your crime?"

"You should be proud of having a disciple like Xu Mu, and I, too, should be proud of having such a disciple."

It is worth mentioning that the head of Jixia Academy is Qingji (Wu King), and Jijiu is his deputy.

Equivalent to the title of principal and vice-principal.

Qingji is just a name, so that the scholars of Jixia Academy are proud of being the disciples of King Wu.

Qingji squatted down again, took off the big fox fur fur that he was wearing, and covered Xu Mu's body.

"Pass down the widow's decree, the funeral ceremony of the above-mentioned senior officials, to bury Xu Mu generously. In addition, give Xu Mu's family members twenty gold coins!"

"promise!"

Hearing this, the scholars present couldn't help but gasped and were shocked.

These twenty yi golds are quite a lot, a total of 480 taels of gold!
Moreover, Xu Mu can still be buried with the funeral ceremony of a doctor.

This is really envious of others.

"King Rende!"

The scholars all knelt down on the ground.

Kong Qiu frowned, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

"What's wrong?"

"Xu Mu's death was well deserved. However, he did not make any contribution to our country of Wu. Xu Mu failed in the experiment of making people soar above the dome, and he even paid for it with his life."

Confucius sighed and said, "Rewarding for nothing, I'm afraid it will attract criticism."

"Furthermore, Xu Mu did not cherish his own life, and conducted such experiments without authorization, so that he died young."

"His Majesty rewarded Xu Mu with such a generous burial. I am afraid that the scholars will follow Xu Mu's example and carry out dangerous experiments in the future. This kind of tragedy will happen again..."

What Qingji wanted was exactly this effect!
Chinese people throughout the ages have never lacked in pioneering and innovative spirit, nor lack of adventurous spirit.

For example, this "flying sky"!
People once imagined that they could have a pair of wings and soar freely in the sky like a bird.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a man who loved to invent, the so-called "Wing Suit Man". Although he did not leave his name, his practice was recorded——

He made two big wings out of bird feathers and tied them to his arms. He stood on a hill, and then the "wing suit man" leaped hundreds of steps, and finally landed safely.

The "featherman" of the "Wing Suit Man" was very revered at the time, and some people disdain it.

But no matter what, he is another image of the ancient Chinese astronauts.

In the Ming Dynasty, a trendy man named Wan Hu began to try manned flights——

Wan Hu tied himself to a chair and held a big kite in each hand.And 47 pieces of the largest "rockets" that could be bought at that time, that is, firecrackers, were installed on the back of the seat.

Then put your bird-shaped aircraft on the top of the mountain.

Wanhu asked people to ignite 47 rockets at the same time. The purpose was to use the power of the rockets to propel them forward, coupled with the upward force and balance of the kite, to fly into the sky.

Then, the flame-breathing "flying bird" led Wanhu away from the mountain and rushed into the air.

But soon, the fire disappeared, and the bird rolled and fell to the foot of the mountain, and Wan Hu died because of it...

Wan Hu's amazing courage and extraordinary foresight opened the way for future generations to enter space.

To commemorate him, people named a crater on the back of the moon "Wanhu Crater", and Wanhu's name was forever engraved on the place touched by his dream.

And now, Xu Mu is the "Winged Man" of the Wu Kingdom. Although he is a loser, he is also worthy of praise.

Just like a modern energy drink often promotes the development of various extreme sports.

Let more people walk on the edge of life and death and experience the feeling of being reborn.

As long as you dare to die, it dares to sponsor!
At this moment, what Qingji was going to do was the same.

Qing Ji said earnestly: "The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade."

"Xu Mu's wing suit flight failed, but it also opened the door to a new world for the second and third sons. Future generations will always remember him. They can stand on the shoulders of giants and continue to innovate."

"Xu Mu also proved to the world that it is definitely not an unrealistic fantasy for human beings to soar in the nine heavens!"

"color!"

All the scholars agreed.

It is Qingji's attitude of promoting scientific development and encouraging continuous innovation, as well as practical actions, that inspire some scholars majoring in engineering to continue to innovate.

The state of Wu has sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and many advanced inventions across the ages have appeared.

……

Qing Ji, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan toured Mount Hua, and then returned to Xianyang City.

In the bustling market, Qingji met a weird person, no, to be precise, it was the "weird" items that he sold.

The man is about eight feet tall, in his twenties, his skin is rough and yellowish, his hair is tied with a wooden crown, and he is wearing clothes made of kapok, which is a little thin.

Under the cold wind, he was shivering from the cold.

The strange things in front of him were basically recognized by no one, and no one cared about them in the market.

"Come on!"

"You don't have a certificate and you don't pay taxes, how dare you set up a stall in the market?"

"Leave quickly, or I will arrest you and go to jail!"

Tolerance, who was in charge of maintaining order in the market, pushed and shoved the men away.

According to the Wu law, a certificate is required to set up a stall in the market, and a certain commercial tax must be paid, instead of selling things at will like hawkers in other countries.

Of course, in order to increase the revenue of the treasury, the rest of the vassal states set up clever names and collected all kinds of exorbitant taxes. They may even have to pay taxes for killing a sheep...

"Can you accommodate me a little bit? My younger brother is new here, so I don't know the rules of the Wu Kingdom."

"Hmph, it's because you are new here, if not, you would have been arrested by us and sent to prison!"

"what!"

Hearing this, the young man was startled, packed his things hastily, and prepared to leave the market.
