Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 15 Shout!Why don't you shout up?
Jae Yu feigned surprise: "Oh? Really?"

"Don't be real and fake there!"

Zi Gong was so angry that he was about to ignite spontaneously: "There is still something you haven't explained clearly, please explain it quickly. Things like paper are simply amazing creations."

Yan Hui also reminded in a low voice: "I heard that Master is currently re-editing "Poetry", "Book", "Ritual" and "Music". If papermaking technology can come out at this time, his old man's theory can..."

Zaiyu was surprised and said, "Is there something about the master here?"

Zi Gong hurriedly said: "That's right. Once the papermaking technology is mature, the Master's thoughts can also spread far and wide. What a merit this is, haven't you thought about it?"

Zaiyu paced around the courtyard: "Although I, Zaiyu, have little virtue and low talent, I still want to do something for the people of the world. It's just..."

Zigong hurriedly asked, "Just what?"

Zai Yu looked up at the sky and smacked his mouth twice, as if he was reminiscing about tonight's meal.

"Zigong, don't talk about it. Although the si meat tasted a bit weird today, it tastes good in retrospect!"

As expected of a smart man, Zigong knows everything.

He opened his eyes wide and showed an ecstatic smile: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhatedsoft'"

Zaiyu said embarrassedly, "This won't trouble you, will it?"

Zigong waved his sleeves, looking generous: "Where! You have helped me so much, if it weren't for you and Ziyuan helping me today, I wouldn't be able to go home! We should spend more time together in private. Let’s eat together and connect with each other.”

Zai Yu nodded in satisfaction, but in an instant, a touch of sadness crept into his heart again.

"But even though pork is good, you can't eat it every day, right? Sometimes, I want to change the taste."

"Isn't this a matter of saying a word? I'll let them do whatever you want to eat. What do you think?"

Zai Yu walked up to Yan Hui's side, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "It's so delicious, how can I enjoy it to myself? It's hard for Ziyuan to have enough food usually!"

Zigong smiled and said: "Then Ziyuan can eat together too! We have been classmates for many years, how could I treat Ziyuan badly?"

Yan Hui waved his hands hastily after hearing this: "You won't get paid for nothing, I don't dare to bother Senior Brother Zigong anymore."

Zai Yu frowned suddenly.

Seeing that something bad was going to happen, Zigong's brains turned quickly, and he said in a hurry: "I have a lot of books at home, because no one manages them all the year round, the ropes that string the books are broken, and the bamboo slips are scattered.

Few of the servants in my family are literate, and they don't know how to tidy up.Ziyuan, for the sake of our classmates for many years, can you do me a favor?As a reward, I will take care of your meals while you organize your collection. "

Organize your library?

Yan Hui's eyes lit up, obviously moved.

"This...that..."

Zigong was afraid that he would refuse, so he said forcefully, not allowing him to argue: "Okay! Then this matter is settled. From now on, after school, you come to my house to sort out the books.

The master once said: A gentleman can't match his tongue with a word!It is very hard to sort out the collection of books, you must not regret it! "

Zigong made a final decision with lightning speed, and then used his wife's words as double insurance. It was difficult for Yan Hui to refuse this time.

So he could only agree: "From now on, I will only come to bother you after school every day."

"Where! Ziyuan, it's my honor that you are willing to visit me, how can it be considered disturbing?"

For such a wonderful performance by Zi Gong, even Zai Yu couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.

After Zigong saw it, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "My son, look now..."

Zaiyu raised seven fingers at Zigong.

That means, it is impressive to want [-]% of the income of papermaking.

Seeing this, Zigong couldn't help scolding Zaiyu for being greedy.

After calculating the cost of papermaking and sales profit in his mind, he gritted his teeth and pointed three fingers cautiously to Jae Yu.

That means, brother will give you [-]% at most, no more!
Zi Gong originally thought that Zaiyu would continue to bargain, but who knew that Zaiyu agreed without hesitation.

"make a deal."

"Success, deal?" Zi Gong was dumbfounded: "Call! You, why don't you call up?"

Jae Yu yawned: "You also know that I'm not good at math and science, if I shout it up, I'm afraid it will be messed up."

Zigong's heart was ashamed.

Broken, I fell into the trap again!
However, he quickly adjusted his mentality. If [-]% of the profit is more or less, if [-]% of the profit is removed, he still has a lot of profit.

There is no need to haggle over every detail because of this little money.

And Zai Yu also thought so.

Papermaking, though valuable, was only one of his ingenious inventions.

Zigong's talent in business is rare in the world, and there will be many opportunities to cooperate with him in the future. There is no need to cause a relationship to become stalemate because of a little profit distribution.

Besides, Zigong was responsible for recruiting and managing craftsmen, as well as sales and other business.

In addition to providing technical guidance, Zaiyu does not need to bear any risks.Getting [-]% of the profit is already a lot.

Zaiyu and Zigong quickly reached a consensus, and they both smiled.

Only Yan Hui on the side watched their roller coaster-like friendship blankly, not knowing what happened.

The world of serious scholars is still too simple after all.

Jae Yu said: "Then let's come here first today. It's getting late today, let's study papermaking after school tomorrow."

Zigong readily accepted and said, "Okay, see you at the academy tomorrow."

Yan Hui also said goodbye: "Thank you for your hospitality today."

Zaiyu led Yan Hui out of the gate of Zigong's house, but just as he reached the gate, he suddenly turned back.

Yan Hui asked in a daze, "My son, what are you doing?"

Zaiyu's rambling voice came: "I'm going to Zigong to ask for a recipe for tomorrow."

--------

That night, Yang Hu's residence.

The night was getting deeper, the sky was full of stars outside the window, and a dim oil lamp was burning inside the house.

Yang Hu sat cross-legged in front of the case, reviewing the files presented by his subordinates one by one.

There was a knock on the door.

"Sunshine."

Yang Hu put down the work at hand, rubbed his temples with both hands: "Come in."

Someone came into the house, closed the door, and knelt down in front of him.

"The prisoners of Zheng State captured by our army in capturing Kuangdi have all been sent to the outskirts of Qufu today. How do you want to deal with them?"

Yang Hu said: "At the beginning of the war between Jin and Chu, Zheng State helped Chu State attack Xu Mi of Jin State. The reason why our country wanted to attack Zheng State was to avenge Jin State. Since they were captured by Zheng State, they should all be sent to Jin State. Jin, let them deal with it."

The man nodded and said, "Then have you decided who you want to send as an envoy to Jin?"

"Who to send?" Yang Hu pondered for a while: "I will handle domestic government affairs and the Jisun family's affairs, and Jisun Si's trash is also idle, why don't we let him go to Jin Kingdom for a while."

"Can……"

"what happened?"

The man paused: "I heard that Ji Sunsi has a lot of resentment towards you in his heart. What if he goes to Jin this time and slanders you in the ears of the big country?"

Yang Hu thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

He murmured: "It makes sense, it seems that I have to send a trustworthy person to keep an eye on Ji Sunsi!"
