The clerk was full of thick ink, and he quickly wrote a few big characters on his clothes: I am not from Dongyi.

These characters are beautifully written in official script, which is popular nowadays. You can see them clearly from a distance.

Cang Ding didn't know how to read, but felt that the words were written well, so he nodded with satisfaction and paid.

The clerk looked at Cang Ding in confusion: "Aren't you wearing it?"

Cang Ding laughed and said, "If you don't wear it now, you will wear it later."

Cang Ding plans to make a big splash.

Among the Dongyi people, Cang Ding's prestige is not low, because Kong Wu is powerful and he is the strongest man in the tribe.

When it comes to his military prowess, everyone praises him.

Only in terms of IQ, Cang Ding feels a little regretful.

Everyone thinks that he has brute strength but no IQ.

Therefore, Cang Ding always wants to prove himself.

And now, the opportunity to prove has come.

As long as he wears this clothes at the Zen Ceremony, the Dongyi people will be amazed. By then, won't he become famous in one fell swoop?

By then, he, Cang Ding, might be known as the third wise man of the Dongyi tribe, right?

The more Cang Ding thought about it, the more beautiful it became. She held the clothes in her arms and went back with a smile.

"Absurd, absolutely ridiculous, I have never heard of such a thing."

In Chunyu's wine shop, a group of Confucian scholars were shouting curses.

They had just heard that tickets for His Majesty's consecration ceremony were sold. This is simply unreasonable. Is there such a reason in the world?

They not only scolded Li Shui and Li Xin, but also Chunyu Yue.

In fact, they mainly criticized Chunyu Yue.

Evil people are certainly hateful, but traitors are even more hateful than evil people.

Confucian scholars in Qi and Lu believed that Chunyu Yue was the traitor.

This person wears the cloak of Confucianism and does all the shameless things. He is simply the scum among the scum.

As for why they came to Chunyu Wine Shop to scold them, it was certainly not because the food here was of high quality and low price, definitely not because of this.

The Confucian scholars unanimously believed that they were tough-minded and deliberately came to Chunyu Yue's door to scold him, so that they could appear dignified.

These people were eating, drinking, and cursing at the same time.

When they were scolding happily, someone suddenly slammed the table and shouted: "Man, what's going on in your wine shop? Why can cats and dogs come in? Don't you care?"

The Confucian scholars were startled. They looked around and wondered: Are there cats and dogs here? Didn't see them...

Immediately afterwards, someone shouted again: "It's just that I wanted to have a drink happily, but unexpectedly I heard a few vicious dogs barking. It was really disappointing."

Confucian scholars, you look at me and I look at you, and they all ask their companions: "Have you seen the dog? Where is the dog? Why didn't I see it?"

Immediately afterwards, someone pointed at this group of Confucian scholars and said, "Man, give them a plate of dog's lung soup to replenish their health."

The Confucian scholars finally understood that these people were actually criticizing themselves.

Their blood suddenly surged up, their hands and feet were shaking with anger, and some were speechless.

The Confucian scholar looked carefully at the diners around him and became even more angry.

These people were all wearing the clothes of poor people, and some of them had dust on their bodies.

At first glance, these people are lowly people. They dare to scold Confucian scholars, which is really contrary to heaven.

A Confucian scholar slammed the table and said loudly: "This is really unreasonable! We are..."

Those poor people also slapped the table: "That's bullshit. If you dare to scold Dr. Chunyu, we will never agree."

When the Confucian scholars saw these people rolling up their sleeves, as if they were about to take action, they all ran away with their heads in their hands.

After leaving Chunyu's wine shop, the Confucian scholars became more and more unhappy.

One of the Confucian scholars said: "Chun Yuyue has betrayed Confucianism. Unexpectedly, he learned these ghost ways from nowhere and won the hearts of these poor people."

Another Confucian scholar smiled slightly and said, "Brother, that's wrong. What we call people in Confucianism always refers to people who are literate and have some wealth. We don't want to fight for those untouchables just now."

"Chun Yuyue betrayed Confucianism and could only pick up our leftovers and win over these untouchables. It is really pitiful."

The other Confucian scholars nodded repeatedly: "After listening to what you said, I suddenly felt a lot more comfortable."

These Confucian scholars were not idle after coming out of Chunyu Winery. They walked around the streets and won over many local gentry.

Then they jointly delivered a memorial to Ying Zheng.

This memorial said that the ceremony of consecrating Mount Tai is such a sacred thing. How can we sell tickets? Isn't this the most ridiculous joke in the world?

After the memorial was delivered to Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng called Li Shui, Li Xin, and Chunyu Yue.

Chunyu Yue always had a calm face and a very Buddhist look. It gave people the impression that he had seen through the world of mortals and had fallen in love with it.

Ying Zheng asked Li Shui, "What these Confucian scholars said is quite reasonable. Fengchan Taishan is to communicate with heaven, how can you use money to buy tickets?"

Li Shui said: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, what happened to buying tickets with money?"

Li Shui asked confidently, but Ying Zheng was slightly stunned.

Chunyu Yue sighed and thought: Exiled Immortal has already asked me these questions.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it just profit-seeking to buy it with money?"

Li Shui said curiously: "May I ask, Your Majesty, what's going on if you are only interested in profit?"

Ying Zheng: "..."

He suddenly felt that he couldn't explain clearly to Li Shui.

He pointed at Li Xin and said, "You tell me."

Li Xin coughed dryly and said to Li Shui: "Your Majesty means that using money to buy tickets to watch the Zen Ceremony is too disrespectful and not high-class at all."

Ying Zheng nodded and thought: Well, that's what I mean.

Li Shui said: "Why is it not solemn if you use money to buy the Zen Ceremony? Do you have to determine who can see the Zen Ceremony and who can't see it according to the title? Does it have to be judged by the court and who can see the Zen Ceremony?

?”

"Money is earned by the hard work of the people. Titles are awarded by the court. If the title is used to determine the list, is it denying the imperial examination?"

Ying Zheng was stunned: "Why are you talking about the imperial examination again?"

Li Shui said: "The imperial examination is a signal from Your Majesty to the people of the world. For some people, it is impossible for some people to lie on the merit book and be officials for generations to come."

"As long as someone has outstanding talents, Your Majesty can promote him and let him serve as an official in the court. In this way, those officials will not do evil, and all the people in the world can strive to be the first."

"Now the Zen Ceremony is another signal. I propose to use the method of buying tickets to select the people who will watch."

"Some good people must think that I am amassing money. In fact, it is a big mistake. I have been burdened with infamy. I have sent a signal for our great Qin: watching the Zen ceremony is not a monopoly of those officials. As long as

If the common people endure hardships and stand hard work, they will one day participate in the prosperous times."

"In this way, these people will see hope. They will no longer be mediocre. They only eat, sleep and give birth to babies all day long."

Ying Zheng smiled: "So, are you really not trying to make money?"

Li Shui coughed dryly: "Of course, it would also be good to replenish the treasury of my Great Qin by the way."

"Since ancient times, emperors have enshrined the throne to worship heaven. There are always some pedantic people who talk about great achievements and blessings from the people. But I can guarantee that after the end of this ceremony, the people will hope to enshrine it again."

Ying Zheng said doubtfully: "Really?"

Li Shui smiled and said: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send a few people to investigate openly and covertly afterwards. Then you will naturally know that what I said is true."

Ying Zheng nodded.

Later, Ying Zheng said: "I understand Huai Guzi's words. I want to tell the people in the world that as long as they work hard and do their duty, everything can be used by me."

Li Shui nodded repeatedly: "Exactly. In addition, Guanzhong has almost accepted the way of merchants. But there is still some resistance in other places."

"The Qi land is rich in fish and salt, and the people here are not too discriminatory towards merchants. We may be able to gain something by using this place as a pilot to promote the ways of merchants. This will be quite helpful in building a fairyland on earth as soon as possible.

.”

When Ying Zheng heard the words "Wonderland on Earth", he nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, okay."

So, Li Shui and others came out with smiles on their faces.

Chunyu Yue sighed and said with some emotion: "Exiled Immortal, how about I discuss something with you?"

Li Shui said: "Sister-in-law, why do you have to be so polite? Just say it."

Chunyu Yue said: "Can you take me off the list of preparations for the Zen Ceremony?"

Li Shui said with emotion: "My sister-in-law has been busy and worrying about the Zen ceremony, and now he wants to take off his name. This is such a noble and upright person, and how he does not seek fame and fortune."

Li Xin also nodded vigorously: "Yes, a person like my sister-in-law is really admirable."
