Chapter 359 Qi Wan Lu Jin
Tao Zhen packed up two pieces of clothing from the clothing store, got in the car and left.

"Did you come up with what you said on your own?" Talented Su finally couldn't help but ask.

Tao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and saw that his brows were furrowed. It was obvious that this problem had been bothering this talented man for a long time.

Tao Zhen smiled and said, "Of course not, I dreamed about it."

Su Xun's frown deepened.

If you don't want to say it, don't say it, but you are still perfunctory with him.

Su Xun was angry, pursed his lips and ignored Tao Zhen.

Tao Zhen said: "Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

Su Xun asked, "Isn't it?"

Tao Zhen asked: "Do you think there are ghosts in this world?"

It just got more and more outrageous. If this person wasn't Tao Zhen, Su Xun would have kicked her off the carriage long ago.

"No." Su Xun said.

Tao Zhen said: "That's too arbitrary. Why do you think there isn't one? You've never seen it?"

"Just because I haven't seen it, I know it doesn't exist. It's just a trick to deceive ignorant people."

Another atheist.

Tao Zhen smiled and said: "You are right. Those things I said were indeed dreams. I have told you, but you just think what I said is a lie. Isn't it too subjective? What I said is true. If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Su Xun frowned.

Tao Zhen didn't bother to say anything to him. Fortunately, Su Xun was a man of few words. If you ignored him, he would never take the initiative to pay attention to you again.

They arrived at Fucheng in the afternoon. Tao Zhen got out of the car after entering the city and expressed his gratitude to Su Xun. Su Xun nodded coldly and left without saying a word.

Tao Zhen stayed at the inn where she was last time, and the waiter at the inn still knew her. Now he sells several packs of beef jerky every day, which gave him some windfall. He was very happy, and he did not forget about the well digger, and he was very enthusiastic towards Tao Zhen. .

The sky gradually became lighter. Tao Zhen thought of the last time he lived here, and then thought of Pei Zhan, and found it difficult to sleep.

Yan Mingxiu lived in Yanbei Palace. Tao Zhen didn't see him last time, so he went to find him this time. However, the servants in Yanbei Palace didn't know who she was, so they naturally wouldn't let her in.

Tao Zhen felt that she was really anxious and confused. She sorted out her thoughts and took Dean Lin's letter to report to Yuejian Academy.

As the second largest academy in Fucheng, Yuejian Academy is no worse than Bailu Academy. The dean of the academy, whose surname is Ning, was very polite to Tao Zhen. After saying a few words of appreciation, he called someone and asked him to take Tao Zhen with him. Familiar and familiar.

Chu Chenglin was very happy. He smiled beautifully and said gently: "Tao Zhen, long time no see."

Tao Zhen smiled: "Master Chu is still as charming as ever.

Chu Chenglin said: "Originally, the academy asked Mr. Zhang to take you, but as soon as I heard that you were coming, Mr. Zhang gave me this opportunity."

Tao Zhen kept a modest and courteous smile in response to his enthusiasm.

Chu Chenglin had been introducing the academy in a gentle and polite manner, and then he smiled and said: "I saw what you talked about in Yunde, it was very interesting."

Tao Zhen smiled and said, "Although it's very vague, I heard dissatisfaction from your words."

Chu Chenglin did not hide it: "The things you teach are indeed interesting, but they are meaningless for our future imperial examinations."

He recognized Tao Zhen's ability, but Tao Zhen was still not qualified to be their husband.

Tao Zhen is really a soft-spoken person. She thinks that she really has no talent and is just a conveyer of knowledge. However, she thinks that she just thinks that she can complain about herself like this, and others will do it in front of her. Talking about it face to face, that’s another matter.
Just like a girl who is ashamed of herself for being fat, it would not be very pleasant if someone said with certainty, "Well, you are just fat."

Very good, Master Chu. Despite your busy schedule, you still managed to attract my attention.

Tao Zhenpi smiled and said, "Mr. Chu said it very well." Chu Chenglin smiled.

"By the way, can I ask you a favor?"

When a talented and beautiful girl asked for help, Chu Chenglin naturally agreed quickly. Tao Zhen said, "Do you know anyone in the Yanbei Palace?"

Chu Chenglin was startled: "Prince Yanbei's Mansion?"

Tao Zhen nodded.

Chu Chenglin nodded: "Yes, yes..."

"That's good!"

Chu Chenglin did know a few people in Yanbei Palace, but they were just acquaintances. However, since Tao Zhen had asked for help, it would be shameful for him not to help, so he bit the bullet and quickly found out the news.

"The prince you mentioned left a few days ago." Chu Chenglin said.

Tao Zhen asked: "Do you know the specific days?"

"It seemed like four days ago."

Tao Zhen's heart skipped a beat. That was the day she found Qing Wu. Qing Wu conveyed Yan Mingxiu's words to reassure her and left.

Now think about it, did they leave Yanbei Palace at that time?
"Do you know where they went?"

Chu Chenglin said he didn't know, but he asked someone and he said he left in a hurry.

Tao Zhen suspected that Yan Mingxiu followed him to Ning Guta.

Yan Mingxiu also hoped that Pei Zhan would treat him, so naturally he didn't want him to die.

Tao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

She was in a better mood, but this did not affect the fact that on the first day of her lecture at Yuejian Academy, she severely abused Chu Chenglin... and all the high-minded students at Yuejian Academy.

"The State of Qi and the State of Lu are bordering each other. When the State of Qi saw the increasingly powerful State of Lu, it could not help but feel fear. It was afraid that the State of Lu would threaten its position, so it came up with an idea."

Tao Zhen looked at the students and said: "At that time, Qi and Lu both produced silk. Both silks were famous commodities at that time, and nobles from all over the world also liked to wear them. In order to weaken the strength of Lu, Qi ordered everyone to Wearing Qi clothes again, only clothes made of Lu fabrics. Such a strange decree made the uninformed Lu country see huge business opportunities. Lu merchants began to purchase Lu silk in large quantities, and the people of Lu gave up growing grain. Actively joining the textile industry, Lu’s grain output dropped sharply.”

Everyone listened attentively and waited for Tao Zhen to continue.

"A year later, Qi ordered the people not to buy fabrics from Lu to make clothes, and then raised the price of grain significantly. Now Lu was panicked. The Lu cloth that many people had hoarded before began to unsale, and the domestic food supply was in decline. Falling into a situation of shortage, he had to spend a large amount of money to buy grain from Qi at high prices. After all this trouble, Lu's economy nearly collapsed and he was no longer a match for Qi."

When she finished speaking, the room was silent.

Tao Zhen said: "Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, I know you look down on businessmen for their pursuit of profit, craftsmen who rely on their craftsmanship for a living, and farmers for their vulgarity and illiterateness!"

Someone wanted to say something, but Tao Zhen waved it down: "No need to deny it, maybe some people will say that I am not, I don't have it, it doesn't matter, I don't want to discuss these issues with you."

"I just want to tell you that in the development of a country, people from all walks of life play a vital role. You may be studying now just for the imperial examination and to get ahead, but when you become an official in the future, you still have to learn. There are many things such as how to behave in society, how to be an official, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., these books will not talk about it.”

Tao Zhen smiled: "What I want to tell you about the story today is that sometimes war is not just about fighting, it is not just about swords meeting, it is also about relying on brains and strategies, and sometimes even just some cloth is needed. That’s all!”

Tao Zhen knocked on the table, looked at Chu Chenglin and said, "Mr. Chu, do you understand?"

Chu Chenglin was still in shock. He looked at Tao Zhen and nodded after a while: "I understand."

Tao Zhen was very impressed by the allusion of Qi Wan and Lu Jin, which was the earliest trade war in history. Tao Zhen is not a very smart person, but she is eager to learn. As she said herself, if you read a book a hundred times, the knowledge in the book will be Her, her knowledge is the biggest golden finger in her life.

She walked out of the lecture room and faced the sun.

She thought that next time she wanted to enter Prince Yanbei's palace, maybe she wouldn't have to be kicked out again, right?
