Chapter 1015: The Old Man's Youthful Madness [Please Subscribe*Please Pass the Monthly Ticket]

"What else has happened recently?"

Xunzi hadn't been out for a long time, so he asked casually.

"There are so many things. Zi Nian doesn't even know where to start." Fu Nian thought for a while. After the demise of Qi State, so many changes took place.

"Then pick some that have had an influence on me, or on Little Sages and Sages Village." Xunzi became even angrier. Why aren't there any Confucians who are worry-free?

Don't you know he's old? And you're asking him to guess and ask him one by one?
Of course, Xunzi only asked about himself and the little sage Zhuang. As for the others, let love die however it pleases.

"First, Bingzhou called on hundreds of schools across the country to come to Bingzhou to start teaching."

"I told you, next one!"

Xunzi felt even more helpless. He was just old, not deaf or blind. That was all news from a few years ago.

"Qin and Bingzhou jointly established a joint government office in Linzi, called the Price Bureau, which was used to set the prices of all commodities in the world, including salt, grain, cloth, etc. All merchants must abide by it and can only increase or decrease prices by 10% above or below the standards of the Price Bureau. Otherwise, all goods will be labeled as smuggling, and the government has the right to confiscate all goods and impose fines."

Fu Nian continued.

This happened recently and has the greatest impact on Qi.

"The world is bustling with people all for profit. The world is bustling with people all for profit. This is a plan to wipe out merchants, but it is a good thing for the people."

Xunzi smiled and nodded, not caring about these interests. Although Confucianism also controls a lot of business, the bulk of Confucianism is still in education. Education cannot be price-limited, right?
"Also, Qin unified the weights and measures, and in Linzi and other places, Qi's knife coins were exchanged for Qin's half coins by weight."

Fu Nian continued.

"There is no need to make a fuss about Shangjun's law."

Xunzi continued to nod, which was within his expectations.

"Finally, Xinling Jun's second son, Wei Bao, with the help of his two elder brothers, wrote many travel notes, recording the customs and practices of different areas along the Yangtze River. He enjoyed a high reputation among scholars and was poised to open another one."

Fu Nian frowned and said.

"Is there a manuscript?" Xunzi was a little surprised.

Scholars don't have such good tempers. Even if your brothers are Emperor Xuanwu and Lord Shui, they will still confront you. Wei Bao actually has the potential to open another business, so he must have some talent.

"Yes!" Fu Nian did not wait for Xunzi to ask for it, and directly asked someone to compile Wei Bao's travel notes into a book and send it to him.

Xunzi took Wei Bao's travel notes and read them carefully.

After a while, Xunzi fell silent.

How do you evaluate this thing?
It can be an important geomancy document that records the local conditions and customs of various places, but it can also be a life diary of a rich nobleman!

There are also many romantic things in it.

“Although there is some romance, compared to those boring map materials, this travel note can make people interested in reading it and learn more about the beautiful rivers and mountains. It does have the potential to start a new business, provided that he can endure hardships and visit places that have never been visited or recorded by predecessors!” Xunzi still gave a high evaluation of Wei Bao's travel notes.

Cartographic materials are nothing but data. If they are not for specialized research, who would be willing to read them?

But Wei Bao's travel notes are different. They are written in the form of diaries and novels based on his personal experiences, making readers think that this is the life of a wealthy aristocrat. It makes people yearn for it and they gradually memorize the mountains, rivers, customs and practices of various places.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there is a capable person behind Wei Bao!" Fu Nian didn't believe that this was something Wei Bao could think of on his own.

"No need to guess, it must be the work of his two elder brothers. For scholars all over the world, opening another store is a great event that can bring glory to the family and leave a name in history. But for Emperor Xuanwu and Lord Shui, they don't need these things anymore."

Xunzi said with a smile, but he was somewhat envious of Wei Bao's good fortune. He created his own way and gave it away as he said. Apart from Yan Yan and Wei Ju, no one else in the world could do it.

All we can say is that some people are standing at someone else's end point when they are born.

"The rest is still related to Shui Jun!" Fu Nian continued.

"Say!"

"The Navy has recently launched a new type of ship at the shipyard built in Sanghai. We plan to invite Uncle Master to cut the ribbon and name the new ship."

This is the direct reason why Fu Nian came to see Xunzi.

After all, it was difficult for them to refuse Wei Ju's invitation.

"So soon, another new ship? A new type of ship?" Xunzi was surprised.

"Yes, I've been there. I can see it from afar on Shuya. It's huge, and the waterline is very deep. Shuijun plans to use this ship for a trial voyage to the East China Sea to hunt Kunpeng!"

"It's those Taoist people fooling around again!"

Xunzi rolled his eyes. It was normal to launch a new ship, but it was not normal to surround Kunpeng.

No one dared to think so except those crazy Taoists.

And it’s not like they haven’t done this before, but the result was that several Taoist elders almost caused the navy soldiers to be eaten by fish, and many large ships were destroyed, but they were still unwilling to give up.

All I can say is that these people don’t have much to pursue, but they are very rich and can afford to have fun.

"They said that this time they have mastered Kunpeng's habits and improved a lot of hunting methods, so there will be no more accidents."

Fu Nian said awkwardly that as for the credibility, he didn't believe it.

This was not the first time that the Taoists had been involved with Wei Ju. Several times, they had even dragged him or Xunzi into it, and the result was that they had to lie in bed for several months to recuperate after returning.

However, these people just don't believe in evil and go out to sea again and again without getting tired of it.

Xunzi was silent for a while, "I will go and tell those Taoist bull noses and Wei Ju that if they fail again this time, I will twist off their heads and use them as stools!"

"Okay." Fu Nian answered perfunctorily.

How dare he say such things?

Moreover, you old man called that group of people crazy, but the result was that every time they called you, your waist and legs no longer hurt, and you had the energy to get on board and were ready to come whenever they called.

Fu Nian was very skeptical. Even if they really captured Kunpeng, if they didn't get the answers they wanted after studying the world, would these people's faith in Taoism be shattered?

But it is highly unlikely. If they cannot get what they want by studying things, these people will not think that there is something wrong with their own study, nor will they think that there is something wrong with Kunpeng. They will only think that they have not studied it thoroughly and need to catch a few more for reference and comparison.

"Boy, go and prepare my armor and spear!" Xunzi turned to look at the boy Lu Jia, his eyes full of eagerness to try.

Anyway, it was the Taoists and the navy who spent the money, he was the one who contributed manpower and effort, and then they shared the results, so it was a guaranteed profit.

As for being buried in the sea, at his level, as long as he doesn't wave, there is a high probability that he will not die.

However...it is very likely that Lie Yukou died by swimming in the sea.
