Chapter 70 [Paying should be rewarded! 】
"My teacher once said that having the ability but not rewards, and having righteousness but not being clear is a great trouble for the country. The ministers summarized it as 'the efforts should be rewarded'! How much mental effort does the ministers spend on defensively thinking about the country today? The learning used is even accumulated over the years. If it is used to describe merchants in business, the ministers will also spend money. Merchants will know the principle of seeking profit by making money, let alone our scholars and officials? The king has to bear to see the ministers working hard and busy. They obviously have paid the capital but earning the benefits they have not responded to?"
Bai Dong looked at Lao Yinglian with great sincerity in his eyes.
"It's such a glorious thing to seek profit from the capital? Is it so glorious to serve the country? This kid can actually contact the business? His thick-skinned face is unprecedented! It's unreasonable, unreasonable!"
The king and ministers in the palace were so straight that they heard it. This kid openly bargained with the emperor. Is this still the passionate old Qin children? Is this the scholar-official who led Gao Guanbo, and carts when he went out, and meat when he fed? It's embarrassing...
The young master wanted to applaud the high-five, but fortunately he was pulled by Ying Quliang. Didn’t the high-five hurt Ping’anlang at this time? Ping’anlang was the same. He asked his father for a reward in public. This was something that had never happened since the founding of the Qin Dynasty. Are you not afraid of becoming a greedy person?
Du Zhi looked at Bai Dong with his eyes shining brightly. He was very concise and unique! This boy was right. When a businessman bought things with his capital, he naturally had to sell them at a high price. This is the principle of business. When scholars read, their hair turned white, and they had a lot of knowledge. Of course, this knowledge is capital, the most valuable thing. Why should they be used in vain? It is not enough to give it to the country! This is Du's confidant... Just as he was about to nod, someone suddenly felt glaring at him. He was about to glar over, but he found that it was the teacher Gan Long, so he hurriedly lowered his head.
"Bai Dong, you are so bold! You are the old Qin minister. If you eat my Qin salary, you should contribute to the country. If you don't reward me, you will not do your best for the country?" Lao Yinglian was really angry this time. This kid relies on his own favor and is simply arbitrary act. It's not impossible for you to ask for money. Is it okay for our monarchs to say it privately? Must we talk about it in front of the civil and military officials in the court?
"Smash him!"
Li Jiang's laughter came from behind the bamboo curtain: "My wife likes this boy more and more. He is so greedy for money, so he is the only one in the Qin State."
Ying Lian curled his lips, it turns out that if you like someone, you have to hit him on the butt? The literati valued the most. He can fight spine and behead him, but spanking is the biggest humiliation. His wife is too much: "Xijun, don't talk nonsense. After all, this kid has made contributions to the country, so how can he spank casually?"
The fact that the queen of the country likes to peep behind the curtain is already an open secret of the Qin Dynasty. Gan Long coughed a few times and glared at the ministers who covered his mouth and laughed. This queen of the Qin State is not an ordinary woman. When the king was able to successfully restore the throne, she was the first to be the best. When encountering a major national event that was difficult to decide, the king would discuss it with her. Listening to the court behind the curtain is not a disaster, but a benefit to the old Qin Dynasty. Why can't these ministers understand?
Bai Dong just pretended that he didn't see Li Jiang hiding behind the bamboo curtain, but he still said with a smile: "My minister asked the emperor to reward him, but it was actually for the emperor to consider you, afraid that you will be ridiculed by the people of the world..."
"Oh? You are asking for rewards in the palace. Is it not that the people in the world who are ridiculed by you, Duke Bai, but that they are the ones who are the ones?"
"Your Majesty, now it is not only the Qin people and the Wei people who are paying attention to the peace talks, but even the Shandong and the Zhou emperors are paying attention. When the ministers convinced Wei Yang, they can naturally win the bets of Shangdafu and others, but what would the people in the world say at that time? The people in the world will say that Qin is really poor and rewarded the ministers for the king. Fortunately, the minister named Bai Dong is smart and knows to make a bet with the ministers, so he did not contribute to the country in vain. Qin is pitiful. The famous scholars in the world must not go to Qin, because this country does not reward for their contributions, and will punish them for their mistakes. It is not a place to stretch..."
Bai Dong took a few steps and bowed deeply: "How can a minister let the king bear this criticism? The ministers thought about it over and over again. Even if the king blamed the blame or ridiculed the ministers, they should go forward bravely and ask for rewards in front of you!"
This kid is really able to say, is it that the Qingxi sects who are all so good at talking? He is obviously a dirty thing to ask for money, but he can speak it vigorously and make a sound. He is still brave enough to move forward? This term is fresh and is very suitable to describe the warriors who kill the enemy for the country on the battlefield, but why is it so weird if it is on him?
Ying Lian was speechless, and the ministers looked at each other and wanted to refute it, but they felt that this boy was quite reasonable. Li Jiang was even more happy and tried hard to cover her mouth before she could not laugh out loud. This boy was interesting, so interesting.
"How much reward do you want?"
Ying Lian figured it out. This kid is probably not over without paying money. He is not afraid of embarrassment, but he is still afraid of his own king.
"Of course, the more you have, the better. If you can buy two thousand acres of fertile land, it would be even better. I thank you first."
Bai Dong smiled and stretched out his two fingers, but his eyes drifted behind the bamboo curtain.
"It's outrageous. Master, this guy is talking about his wife!"
"No wonder he is not bad. Who asked Xijun to cut off his two thousand acres of fertile land? This kid is not easy to mess with, so don't mess with him in the future."
He rubbed his head gently, Ying Lian said helplessly: "I don't have that much money, only 50,000 yuan. However, if you lose to Wei Yang, don't blame me for being ruthless! I don't want your head and don't hit your spine, it will only smash your butt!"
"Hehe, the king doesn't know that my ministers practiced a magical butt skill when they were in Qingxi, so they are not afraid of spanking. And my ministers will definitely beat Wei Yang, and the kings will not have the chance to spank."
***
Wei Yang and this kid were indeed ambiguous. Since the state banquet that day, and the old Qin State had all kinds of methods, he refused any arrangements for Qin State. He only said that he could not see the eunuch again and would return to Wei State. Several talented and debaters who rushed back from Yongdu wanted to seek him debate, but they were not accepted. However, when it came to discussing the matter of Hexi with Bai Dong, they agreed immediately. And seeing his cheerful look, he had obviously been looking forward to it for a long time.
The debate was arranged in the Liyang Palace, but this time the protagonists were Bai Dong and Wei Yang, and Ying Lian and Qin ministers were only bystanders. This debate was related to the destiny of the two countries. What was to solve was a big problem of land disputes. Therefore, Ying Lian also specifically allowed famous scholars from all over the world to participate. Any scholar who was studying in Qin and who had a little reputation could come to listen to the debate. This was Qin's show kindness to the scholar class, and he also wanted to use the famous scholars in the world to supervise it so that Wei Yang would not lose or lose the debt. After all, debate was one thing. Whether he would sincerely help Qin persuade Gongshuzhuo was another thing.
Although it hurts to take out 50,000 yuan, Ying Lian is still looking forward to Bai Dong's miracle again. The couple muttered that if the peace talks between the two countries can go smoothly, they should still be more friendly to this kid in the future. Li Jiang even took the initiative to ask for the return of the two thousand acres of fertile land to Bai Dong. He was just a little bitch of an old woman at the beginning. If this kid was really a talented man in the country, she could still tell the difference.
Even the ministers of Qin who bet actually half hope that Bai Dong would win. After all, the loss was only a small amount of money. Only when Qin was truly stable could they and their families have greater benefits, unless they were really unthinkable like Du Zhi, hoping that Bai Dong would win, and then secretly praying for Wei Yang to win. It would be better for God to open his eyes so that neither of them could convince each other and fight a draw? No, according to the bet, even if Bai Dong could not argue, it would be very unfavorable to Lao Qin. But my money, Lao Qin was beneficial, and my money would be gone.
The bystanders had different thoughts, but Wei Yang did not have these entangled thoughts. Once he sat on the debate field, he would only consider how Bai Dong would make a statement, and how he would break the argument and defeat his opponent. All the disciples of the Legal family were good at eloquent, even Han Fei, who was not good at speaking in the later generations, also had sharp words and could kill people. This was a talent attribute that penetrated into their bones.
Ps: Thanks to the brothers ‘China’ for their rewards and support.
