Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 41, Apprentice

"Get up, get up!"

Liu Jin tried to help the three of them up, but the three of Huang Jinquan seemed to be really determined to be apprentices, and they looked as if they would be unable to kneel if Liu Jin didn't accept them.

"These three people keep their word."

"Well, if you are willing to bet and admit defeat, you can be regarded as a gentleman."

When the others saw the three apprentices, they immediately nodded.

People in this era are the most honest, and sometimes honesty is more important than their own lives. The three of them gambled with Liu Jin, and there was nothing to lose. Now they are willing to gamble and admit defeat. The impression of the three scholars is not bad.

"Also ask the mentor to accept us as beginners!"

The three of them were unwilling to get up, and they were determined to learn from their masters.

"We can learn from each other. I just know some knowledge that everyone doesn't know. This doesn't mean that I am qualified to be your teacher."

"Without apprenticeship, we can also communicate and learn from each other. I am definitely not as good as you in many aspects, and there are still many things that I need to learn from you."

"What's more, I am younger than you in terms of age, how can I be your master."

Liu Jin was in a hurry. These three people seemed to be older than him, and they were almost like brothers. It always felt strange to be disciples and disciples.

"Threesomes must have my teacher. There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher."

"Menshi is very talented, although he is still young, he has already learned a lot and is talented. Although the three of us are a few years older, we are extremely dull. Please don't be disgusted by your teacher, and let us get started."

Lin Shuhong was also in a hurry, Liu Jin was cheating now, he obviously won, but he didn't want to accept apprentices, how could this be possible.

"What's more, since ancient times, a gentleman has a word, and a four-horse horse is hard to follow. If a mentor wins us, he should keep his promise and accept us."

"Yes, teacher, honesty is the foundation of a person. Since words come first, the teacher should keep his promise, and should not break his promise and lose weight."

Huang Jinquan also followed up and said, "If you don't accept us as Liu Jin, not only is he not a gentleman, but the three of us will also be discredited and become villains who do not keep their promises."

"This…"

Liu Jin didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Mr. Liu is a talented person. It is the blessing of the three of them to be able to worship under your sect. Mr. Liu should accept them."

At this time, the middle-aged man on the side also said with a smile.

This person is the current emperor of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi Zhu Youtang. This time he was harassed by Zhu Houzhao, so he quietly took Zhu Houzhao out to play, but he did not expect to meet Liu Jin and hear what Liu Jin said Words, not only a clear understanding of the world in which you live.

Knowing that Daming is only a small part of the world, and more importantly, he knows that there are three high-yielding crops in the Golden Continent. If these three crops can be introduced to Daming, there will be no famine in Daming from now on.

Knowing that the world outside of Ming Dynasty is very vast, there are many, many lands as fertile as Ming Dynasty, and the owners of these lands sound like they can be easily conquered.

Knowing that there is a country as powerful as Ming Dynasty outside of Ming Dynasty, and a civilization as splendid as China, and knowing that there are endless treasures and wealth overseas.

I came out this time today, and I have gained a lot. I have learned too much, too much, and more importantly, I have discovered talents like Liu Jin. Talents like Liu Jin are very different from the princes above the court. , but gave Emperor Hongzhi the feeling that Liu Jin was very talented and knowledgeable.

He even had the idea of ​​asking his son Zhu Houzhao to worship Liu Jin as his teacher, but now he knew too little about Liu Jin, so he was not at ease, and he would definitely investigate Liu Jin in detail later.

"Yes, although Mr. Liu is young, he is very knowledgeable. I, Du Mingen, have traveled all over the world and met many so-called talented Confucians, but I don't understand what they say, but what Mr. Liu said today I understand everything, and benefit a lot, which shows that you are knowledgeable."

The grain merchant who answered Liu Jin's question also stood up and said that he had also gained a lot today, knowing that there is so much wealth in the world outside of Ming Dynasty, and that this piece of silk can be equivalent to gold in Europe.

For businessmen, the most important thing is of course information, not to mention the sale of silk to Europe, which is far away. The government does not allow private people to go to sea without permission, and he currently does not have large merchant ships to go to sea.

But Liu Jin's high-level remarks on the monsoon climate are also very useful to him. He is in the grain business. After listening to Liu Jin's words, he knows that if the monsoon stays in the south for too long, there will be a severe drought in the north. The drought means that the price of food in the north will increase, so he can raise food in advance and transport it to the north, and he can be a forerunner and be one step ahead.

"This... I will accept the three of you."

The two came out to persuade one after another. Liu Jin thought about it and finally nodded.

"Thank you, teacher, for accepting me as an entry-level teacher. Please be respected by the students!"

When Huang Jinquan, Tong Yuan, and Lin Shuhong heard this, they immediately smiled, and respectfully kowtowed to Liu Jin again as a teacher salute.

"Get up, get up, don't be too polite."

It was the first time for Liu Jin from later generations to have someone kneel down to him. He was not used to it, so he hurriedly helped the three of them up.

Although kneeling seems to be a common thing in this era, it is also very common to kneel to heaven and earth, to worship kings, to meet parents, teachers, elders, etc.

But in later generations, everyone pays attention to the equality of everyone, whether you are the richest man in the world or the leader of a country, everyone is equal, and kneeling does not exist at all.

This is the first time someone kneels down to him. To be honest, Liu Jin is really flattered. Someone kneels down to him and worships him as a teacher. Liu Jin can't help but want to learn from the old gentleman in the TV series. , touched his little beard.

"Thank you teacher~"

The three thanked him again, and then stood beside Liu Jin very respectfully, like a student or disciple.

As for the people in the Wangyue Tower, seeing that the three of them had finished their apprenticeship, it is estimated that there is no excitement to watch, and Liu Jin should not continue to talk about some things, so they gradually dispersed. The meal took a long time, but It is great value for money.

Businessman Du Mingen and Emperor Hongzhi showed no intention of leaving in a hurry, and looked at Liu Jin from time to time, as if they wanted to say the same thing as Liu Jin.
