The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

The calls from outside the door instantly woke Li Qingshan.

When he opened his eyes, he found that it was already broad daylight.

Strands of sunlight streamed through the curtains into the room, illuminating it brightly.

Pushing open the door, Li Qingshan saw Wu Ziming looking anxious.

The other party quickly explained their purpose:

"Shopkeeper, a few scholars and literati dressed in long robes have come into the shop."

They specifically asked for you, so that's why I'm bothering you.

Li Qingshan nodded, washed up, and then walked towards the front hall.

Although he usually acts like a hands-off manager, when something really goes wrong, he's the one who has to step in.

Especially literary figures and scholars!

Although the Great Qian Dynasty was established by force, the only ones who truly had the confidence to confront the imperial power were the literati and scholars who usually took the teachings of the sages as their guide.

Scholars with backgrounds at Tiantong Academy were particularly powerful.

Upon entering the main hall, Li Qingshan saw four young men dressed in long robes.

They were all handsome and extraordinary in appearance. The one in the lead held a paper fan with a painting of mountains and birds, as if he were deep in thought with his eyes closed, or as if he was worried about the country and its people.

Even Li Qingshan couldn't help but sigh at this moment—what a handsome and elegant gentleman in this turbid world.

"This is the manager of our Shuiyun Pavilion, and our distinguished guests."

Wu Ziming quickly stepped forward to introduce them and began to refill the tea and water for the distinguished guests.

but.

The troublemakers that Li Qingshan had anticipated did not come.

As Wu Ziming introduced them, the leader immediately stood up, and together with his three colleagues, performed a polite bow, and said with a smile:

"So it's Brother Li! I am Tan Tongle, from the Tan family of Lin'an. I've come to pay my respects!"

The remaining people also introduced themselves, all of whom were well-known families in Lin'an City.

Without waiting for Li Qingshan to ask, Tan Tongle, who was in charge, quickly revealed his background:

"To be honest, I came to see Brother Li today because of the memorial poem you wrote for the Marquis of Changning a few days ago."

His poems are extremely poignant, reminiscent of a warrior's style, but unfortunately, they were used to describe Marquis Changning...

As he spoke, Tan Tongle patted the fan in his hand with a hint of regret, as if someone had defiled his treasure.

Li Qingshan's lips twitched slightly, but he still went along with what the other person was saying.

"I see. I thought you gentlemen came to see me to buy the Four Treasures of the Study."

It seems Mr. Li is somewhat materialistic. However, gentlemen, you are all highly talented and clearly renowned scholars. Why are you so concerned about this poem?

But his words only made things worse. The four scholars present exchanged a silent glance, their faces showing a hint of shame.

In the end, Tan Tongle had no choice but to cup his hands in greeting and quickly explain the reasons behind it all.

It turned out that they were all disciples of Tiantong Academy, who enjoyed writing poetry and considered their own poems to be quite good.

On that day, the memorial poem written by the second young lady of the Marquis's mansion greatly shocked many of the disciples of Tiantong Academy present.

Of course, the most important thing is—

"Brother Li, to be honest, we all need literary energy for cultivation, but unfortunately, this thing is rare, hard to find, and hard to come by. No matter how hard we try, we can't get even a little bit of it."

If things continue like this, I'm afraid I'll have no hope for a future in officialdom, and I might not even be able to become a lowly ninth-rank official.

However, Brother Li's work makes the Second Miss's writing style quite elegant, which we all envy... Therefore, we would like to receive guidance from Brother Li.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan instantly understood why these people had shamelessly come to his Shuiyun Pavilion.

Seeking methods for writing poetry, which would stir up a literary atmosphere.

For martial artists, the initial stage of training requires constantly striking their bodies to enhance their blood and qi and generate internal energy.

Then, gradually increase your internal strength until you achieve a qualitative change and leap into the True Qi Realm. As for the Grandmaster, it is necessary to arouse spiritual resonance.

However, for literati and scholars, or rather, for these Confucian scholars, a great deal of literary talent is needed.

This is not only about their career advancement, but also about everyone's future fate.

Official positions, especially good ones, don't care which prominent family they belong to in Lin'an City.

"Please, Brother Li!"

Tan Tongle, along with the others behind him, also joined Wenli at this moment.

This scene greatly shocked Wu Ziming, who was standing next to him.

Wu Ziming's eyes widened, his lips parted slightly, and he swallowed hard, wanting to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

This is a scholar, after all.

Especially the students and scholars still studying at Tiantong Academy!

These people are notorious for being fearless.

Even the current emperor, if he thinks something is done in a way that does not meet their expectations, will be criticized by them.

These people even used their status as students to protest at the gates of the imperial city.

Every student at Tiantong Academy is exceptionally proud, so why do they all become so humble in front of their own manager?

Li Qingshan did not answer directly, but instead pondered for a moment.

But his next words caused the expressions of Tan Tongle and the others present to change drastically:

"I am not good at poetry, but if you gentlemen could show me some information about everyday life, I am afraid I might be able to create some excellent works."

Upon hearing the last sentence, the group was overjoyed and clapped their hands, exclaiming:

"Brother Li, rest assured, if you can guide us in writing poetry, we can help you with any mundane or ordinary matter you desire."

Tan Tongle practically patted his chest and said it.

The people behind him also hurriedly made guarantees at that moment.

"We will do our utmost to meet any needs Brother Li requires."

"Indeed, they are just a few miscellaneous books. We all have libraries at home and will certainly get them for Brother Li. We just don't know what Brother Li needs."

"Even erotic novels... some vulgar writings, we can get them for Brother Li. Academic exchanges are perfectly normal among scholars."

Tan Tongle turned his head and glared at his friend before quickly saying:

"I wonder what kind of books Brother Li needs? As long as we have them at home... as long as they are available at Tiantong Academy, we will try our best to get them."

Li Qingshan said, word by word:

"I want all the books about the Pure Land School, even those I've only heard about secondhand!"

Tan Tongle secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly.

"good!"

"This afternoon, we will deliver all the books about the Pure Land School to your shop."

After saying that, the group didn't care when Li Qingshan would teach them and left the shop excitedly.

Wu Ziming came closer, looking at his manager with admiration, and said earnestly.

"Manager, it has to be you! You managed to get rid of these difficult customers with just a few words. You're truly amazing!!"
