Chapter 69 Questions and Answers
"Dare to ask Rong Lang, are you happy so far?" Zhan Qirui asked sharply, his eyes were provocative, although he was looking up, he looked at Rong Zhi like he was looking at some clown.

When many scholars onlookers looked at Zhan Qirui, their eyes showed admiration.

Before Rong Zhi could answer, he preemptively said: "Rong Lang's parents died early, and he has no brothers. When Rong Lang came to the temple, he never got a talent to teach him. Rong Lang has lost these two joys. However, the world is impermanent, who knows It can guarantee that parents are present at all times, and brothers have no reason. As for educating the talents of the world, it is even more difficult. Therefore, Zhan believes that he can achieve the second point, that he can look up to the sky and bow down to others. It is already Life is a blessing, I wonder what Rong Lang thinks?"

"Is this statement too harsh?" Some students commented, after all, they were talking about other parents.

"How sharp?" A student said angrily, "This man is a talented man, but he is a national thief, and he has lost all the dignity of a scholar. If his parents knew about it, I'm afraid they would want to eat his flesh and drink his blood."

"That's right." Someone echoed, and he said: "Brother Zhan is upright and not afraid of such treacherous ministers at all. He is really a role model for my generation."

The student's discussion was not low, enough to reach Rong Zhi's ears, but he didn't seem to care, just nodded casually, "very true."

"So, how happy is it to ask Rong Lang? Has Rong Lang ever been ashamed of God? Ashamed of others?" Zhan Qirui continued to ask.

"Happy, Rong looks up to the sky, bows down to others. I feel happy." Rong Zhi smiled slightly.

"Shameless!" an unknown scholar scolded.

"They've all become national thieves, yet they dare to speak so brazenly. It's really abominable."

"If it weren't for this, how could we be in cahoots with Guan Zhi?"

"It's also a shame that this person exposed his true nature early on. If not, he would have become the number one courtier in Northern Qi. The disaster must be far worse than Guan Zhiyuan."

Zhan Qirui didn't seem to have thought that Rong Zhi would be so shameless that he would be able to speak out about himself openly.His face was slightly cold, "It's good to say 'joy', but this music, I'm afraid it's the joy of one person gaining the Tao, a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven! Rong Lang was born as the number one scholar, but now he is a eunuch, and he has lost his character as a scholar. Do you dare to call yourself worthy of admiration? "

"Strength is in my heart. Zhan Lang sees me like this, but I don't know that other people also see Zhan Lang like this." Rong Zhi was not angry.

Zhan Qirui snorted coldly, "You are alive, why should you care about the opinions of others, why should you care about the opinions of villains."

"Zhan Lang is right."

"you--"

After turning the corner and scolding Zhan Qirui, Rong Zhi continued to ask: "Since Zhan Lang asked Rong, Rong also has a question, and wants to ask Zhan Lang."

"Please tell me, Rong Lang." Zhan Qirui said reluctantly, keeping his expression steady.

"Why do scholars want to obtain fame?"

"Naturally, it is to serve the country and benefit the people." Zhan Qirui didn't think about it.

Rong Zhi smiled slightly: "Then what is a gentleman?"

"If you don't have enough to eat, you don't want to live in peace. If you are sensitive to things but cautious in your words, you will be righteous and upright." Zhan Qirui glanced at Rong Zhi and said sarcastically.

Rong Zhi's smile deepened, "Okay, it's good to say 'be sensitive to things but cautious in words'. As expected of the descendants of the Zhan family in Xiaqiu, they really have read poetry and books and are erudite. Then I wonder if this gentleman knows the price of food today? Can we know the price of grain in a good year? Can we know the price of grain in a bad year? Can we know the price of grain in an ordinary year?”

Zhan Qirui choked, he didn't expect Rong Zhi to ask such a question, and he really couldn't answer it.

Rong Zhi continued, "During the first emperor's reign, the price of grain was fifteen cents a dou in ordinary years, ten cents a dou in harvest years, and twenty cents a dou in arrears. Wen Yidou. As for this year..."

Rong Zhi's eyes dimmed, "The price of food has reached 23 cents a bucket."

When the rainy season arrives in the coming days, it is unknown how much food prices will rise.

After Rong Zhi finished speaking, he casually turned his head to look at a commoner, "This old man, I don't know if what Rong said is true."

The old man nodded, "Lang Jun is right."

"I am a scholar, and I read the books of sages and sages. He asked about the way of businessmen, so he deliberately embarrassed him." A scholar said angrily.

"Yes."

"He's really a shameless villain."

Rong Zhi looked at Zhan Qirui again, "Although the way of business and business is not written in the books of sages, it is the real people's livelihood. If you want to serve the court, you must not work behind closed doors. Besides, the sages also said, 'A gentleman wants to be silent, but Sensitive to action." Even if Zhan Langjun reads all the books in the world and becomes the world's number one debater, it is not as useful as knowing the sufferings of the people and doing a practical thing for the people."

As for the so-called embarrassment, didn't Zhan Qirui come to embarrass him in the first place?In this world, even the Holy One has to be embarrassed by others, so what are they?

Zhan Qirui blushed when Rong Zhi said it, but he still insisted and said: "Zhan is young, he considers himself a man of virtue, and dare not be called a gentleman. Thank you for your advice today. However, there is a saying in "University": "Those who want to rule their country If you want to clean up your family, you must first cultivate your body; if you want to cultivate your body, you must first correct your mind'. If your mind is deceitful and your body is not upright, it will be useless to know the people's livelihood."

Rong Zhi didn't care about the sarcasm in Zhan Qirui's words at all, he still smiled, with a breezy and bright posture, as if discussing and learning, like grinding, "If you don't know the people's livelihood, how can you talk about the world? Forgive Rong for speaking bluntly, experience the people's livelihood and self-cultivation Honesty, never contradicting. I heard that Zhan Langjun often goes to Qingtan grand gatherings, and he has a lot of eloquence among his arguments. However, Rongmou still advises that the so-called clear talk does not talk about state affairs, people's livelihood, governing the country, and strengthening the military. People, it is better to say it is empty talk. Talking about harming the country, Mr. Zhan Lang has a bright future, how can he waste his time."

Although he knows that these days are not going well, but he is in a bad situation now, and it is not easy to openly attack the students.It would be better for him to remind these young and energetic students, so as to warn them not to just talk empty talk.

Li Shengxi looked at the following scene with a smile, probably because Rongzhi's identity as the eunuch's adopted son was so impressive that everyone forgot that he was born as the No. [-] Scholar.

Those are the six champions, Southern Jin and Northern Qi are added together, since the founding of the country, there have been very few six champions.He also took countermeasures in the Golden Palace to surprise the emperor;

Back then, whenever Rong Zhi participated in any literati gathering, be it a talk meeting or a poetry meeting, everyone had to avoid it.

You can despise him for serving as a eunuch, but no one can deny his talent.This is what he has accumulated over the years. Now that time has passed, he will only become more sophisticated. This is not comparable to the fledgling, young and frivolous Zhan Qirui.
