Sheng Fu

Chapter 634 Sincerity
Snow on New Year's Eve, auspicious snow heralds a good year. In previous years, when encountering this snow scene, there must be literati writing poems and songs. This year's literati are rare to see peace, quietly celebrating the New Year in their own homes.

After lunch, Yu Wenjun took Wu Mi across the void, and came to the city of Hao'an, Duanmuzhi's city lord's mansion. The building was as simple as ever, but there was a red lantern hanging at the door. Standing at the highest position of the city lord's mansion, he could barely overlook the whole city. In the city of Hao'an, nearly [-]% of the residents have hung red lanterns, and the streets and alleys are filled with the sound of firecrackers and the sound of children playing and playing.

Yu Wenjun and Duanmu stood side by side on a high place, and the young Ba Guzhishou sighed: "If you want to talk about the taste of the year, only the city of Hao'an has the most flavor."

"Even the imperial capital, which is full of flowers and brocades, can't compare to this city under your lord's rule."

Duanmu heard the words directly, and said with a humble face: "Young master, what do you mean by this?"

"At the foot of the emperor, the taste of the new year is the most high-quality and authentic. I am located in a remote place, how can I compare with the glorious imperial capital, thanks to my son's words, I have not been heard by outsiders, otherwise someone will wear small shoes for me of."

Yu Wenjun smiled and said: "Because the people in the city of Hao'an are suffering, everything is waiting to be done, and there are expectations in their hearts, so the taste of the new year is very strong."

"There are very few poor people in the imperial capital. For most of the rich and noble families, the taste of the new year has long been lost in their hearts. Only those who are pure and kind-hearted can feel the beauty of the new year."

"Xie Yiming's south will also have a strong sense of the New Year, but it is still not as good as here. It is a land of prosperity. Now it has communication with the Spirit Race, and its interests are intertwined. The number one general in the south of the outside world, led the soldiers from Nanshan to Beihai to Chen Binglie For a while, it will wash away part of the taste of the year."

"After all the calculations, only Mr. Duanmu's place has the most flavor of the year."

Hearing what Yu Wenjun said, Duanmuzhi actually felt that there was some truth in it. In terms of human emotions, there was indeed some truth.

"It's a pity, after all, there is a lot of waste here, without its own industry, without its own cultural heritage, everything starts again, just like in the early spring, it is like opening up wasteland and farming, and the city of Hao'an will be about ten years later. It will always stop at this unique early spring season."

"If at any time, one or two talents come out, not to mention one of Ba Gu, but they are well-known in the northern land, that is very magnificent."

In fact, there are still some talents in the city of Hao'an. These talents have experienced bad experiences in their early years, and they are disheartened about the officialdom and the world.

Although there is a saying that withered trees meet spring, it is difficult to come to Hao'an City in spring with dead trees.

After the completion of the city, some refugees who knew a little bit of knowledge and principles knew that this city would experience a long period of poverty, so they didn't plan to settle down in the city of Hao'an from the beginning, and went to search for their next home early.

If you want to retain talents, it is useless to rely solely on morality and benevolence, you still need real money.

If there is a Hengchang Academy implemented here, the result may be better, but it may not be very good. The literati are very clear about the bitterness in their hearts. The students from Hengchang Academy, after they grow up, no matter whether they are in the officialdom , or become someone else's guest, it is inevitable that people will look down on them and even turn them away.

Who made the young head of Bagu make the hearts of the aristocratic family bleed?

In some people's opinion, Hengchang College should not exist.

There are too many capable and learned people, which may not be a good thing for this world.

There are always various thorny problems that are difficult to solve in morality and survival.

Yu Wenjun felt in his heart that this was a matter of the future after all. He had high hopes for Shi Kun and Wei Huan. After these two people grew up, they might be able to earn the name of Ba Gu.

It's just a pity that the little guy named Li Chunyang went to Bailu Academy. If Li Chunyang can stay in Henglong Mountain, Hengchang Academy will have three unicorns.

At that time, the world's perception of Hengchang Academy will change, and the aristocratic families will be more in awe of Hengchang Academy.

And some scholars really want to devote themselves to learning. This kind of scholars don't pay attention to the source of knowledge, but who is better at learning.

Regrettably, there are too few such pure-minded scholars.

Moreover, this type of scholars often have a hard life and find it difficult to gain status.

And many celebrities in the north and south wanted to do some real learning at the beginning. It's a pity that those highly respected celebrities have more or less polluted the original clear bones in the end.

"I said that this year there will be fireworks in Hao'an City, and I will also spend the night of New Year's Eve in Hao'an City." Yu Wenjun turned his head and smiled proudly at Duanmuzhi.

Duanmuzhi was taken aback, thinking that Yu Wenjun's words were just a joke.

"What kind of fireworks are you going to set off?" Duanmu asked expectantly.

The fireworks are gorgeous, after all, it is the pastime of the nobles. It is too difficult for ordinary people to rely on their own strength to set off their own fireworks.

A firework illuminates not only the night, but also the gloomy hearts of many people.

At least when the people of Hao'an City see the city-state where they are located, fireworks are blooming all over the sky, not to mention that their spirits are rising steadily, there will always be some invisible forces that inspire them to live better.

This kind of humanistic care is something that Duanmu Zhi has always wanted to do, but due to various reasons, he has not been able to implement it.

Yu Wenjun smiled brightly and said: "Since I'm here, of course I will set off a grand firework, and the entire sky of Hao'an City will be lit, and all the people can see the brilliant flames bred above their heads."

Duanmuzhi smiled from ear to ear. He has been in politics for many years, and Duanmuzhi seldom smiled so heartily.

"I'm looking forward to the nightfall." Duanmuzhi said with a knowing smile.

Yu Wenjun knew that Qin Yun was now in Hao'an City, maybe he was chatting about some things in a certain family's house a long time ago, and even collected some new evidence.

From Dachun Prefecture, Gao Zhi may have obtained a lot of evidence.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, famous people from the north and south will go to the Jinhua Palace in the imperial capital for a reunion, and His Majesty the Emperor will personally preside over the overall situation.

"Fifteenth, on the night of the full moon, you will shine a light on history." Yu Wenjun changed the subject.

Duanmuzhi's heart sank. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen His Majesty the Emperor for a long time. He remembered that the last time he met His Majesty was three or four years ago.

Even in the past, that His Majesty would never look at Duanmu Zhi.

It is more difficult for a politician to be in politics according to his own will than for a poor guy to marry a wife.

Duanmu Zhi didn't care too much about whether he could be famous in history. As long as the common people remembered his kindness, it would be considered a great merit. There are many ministers who are not well-known.

"Compared to the fireworks after nightfall, I want to know what to have for dinner?" Yu Wenjun asked with a strange smile.

Poverty belongs to poverty, and the New Year's Eve dinner should not be too plain.

Duanmu Zhi laughed and said: "Young master is already preparing for a fireworks display, and I will also bring out the old wine from my collection to entertain. As for the dishes, there must be meat dishes."

"My lord, you can rest assured that I was once a deputy prime minister anyway, and I will pay attention to what should be paid attention to."

These words are actually not so pleasant, but they are very sincere, but they are often too sincere, which makes people not like them that much. Maybe it was because Duanmuzhi was so sincere that he failed to please His Majesty the Emperor.

But if Duanmuzhi is not sincere enough, he will become a dead person in His Majesty's heart.

However, Yu Wenjun still likes Mr. Duanmuzhi's sincerity, and he can open up to say some things, and his heart can be brighter.

Those who are not bright enough are often those who are too scheming and pay too much attention. Yu Wenjun really doesn't like that kind of people.
