Chapter 19 It is easy to get on and off the boat

Early the next morning, before Zhang Hao got up, Xi Zhicai rushed over. He didn't come by himself, and he also brought a middle-aged man with a positive face. The man looked at Zhang Hao with confusion and weirdness.

Zhang Hao had no time to tell which ones were. In front of the guests, he was obviously a bit rude in his condition and quickly washed up.

What made Zhang Hao speechless was that this guy Xi Zhicai was really gone. When Zhang Hao was washing up, he looked at him with interest, and expressed his praise and questions about Zhang Hao's toiletries from time to time.

After washing up in a hurry, they asked the two of them politely if they had breakfast. Both of them nodded to indicate that they had eaten.

"Don't rush to accompany us. Although I have eaten, I can still drink some wine. After I went back yesterday, I was upset for a long time. I actually forgot what Zigao promised me to drink. I had been greedy for a night, and now I'm just drinking some, so let's have a more lively chat while eating." Xi Zhicai said without hesitation.

He had to drink early in the morning. What could Zhang Hao say about such a person?

After calling breakfast, Xi Zhicai was drinking there. In addition, the middle-aged man named Tian Feng, who was introduced by Xi Zhicai, politely picked up two bites of food and waited quietly.

I had a deep impression of Tian Feng and Zhang Hao, who was a celebrity who was much more famous than Xi Zhicai. Not to mention later generations, even in this period, Tian Feng's fame was much stronger than Xi Zhicai, and he was a famous scholar in Jizhou. He had food to eat everywhere and was not worried about being an official.

Xi Zhicai just said that Tian Feng had just resigned because he couldn't stand eunuchs.

Zhang Hao remembered the wicked smile on Xi Zhicai's face at that time very clearly. Obviously, Tian Feng had some intention of being bad at the visitor.

Perhaps Xi Zhicai told Tian Feng about his remarks last night. Tian Feng had some disagreements, so he came here early in the morning.

With Tian Feng's serious eyes, eating became very difficult. Zhang Hao had to eat some quickly. He had just put down his chopsticks. Tian Feng saw the situation and immediately began to ask a question, "I heard that Zigao has different views on eunuchs' chaos in politics?"

Zhang Hao nodded. Since Tian Feng was here, Zhang Hao naturally wanted to show it. Tian Feng is upright, but he is not a pedantic person.

First, he talked about the reasons from last night. Tian Feng frowned and listened, refuted from time to time, and pondered from time to time.

It has to be said that Tian Feng, Xi Zhicai and others are all wise and wise. Even though Zhang Hao has knowledge that exceeds two thousand years, he is often asked, and he has to urinate and go directly to modern times to deal with it with Du Niang. Compared with modern people, their wisdom is not bad, and the difference is nothing but knowledge and ideas.

After a whole day, Zhang Hao did not do anything else, just talking about this situation with the two of them. He was talking about the spit.

This time, Zhang Hao took out a big killing weapon, which is the theory of land annexation.

After listening to Zhang Hao's speech, Tian Feng and Xi Zhi were silent for a long time, and then Tian Feng sighed,

"Zi Gao is really a talented person, I'm not as good as that. To be honest, I don't understand that with Zi Gao's talent, it's easier to become a famous person. Why do you choose to buy an eunuch? Don't you think this kind of behavior is not done by a gentleman?"

"A gentleman can deceive him." Zhang Hao smiled, "I am not a gentleman from beginning to end. Of course, I didn't think about deliberately destroying my reputation. In fact, I was not thinking about buying an official. But no matter what, I don't regret it. At least Zhang Rang helped me a lot."

"As for what Brother Yuanhao said, I have considered it. But I don't have that much time. Or, the big man has no more time!"

"Zi Gao, although I also feel that the problem of the great man is very serious now, it has not reached that level yet? Four hundred years have made the great man deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." Tian Feng said with his face twitching and staring at Zhang Hao.

"Human heart? Is it the heart of scholars? The concept of human heart in this era is very simple, that is, the gentry and wealthy families and landlords and powerful people, because they have knowledge and power. But more people are unconsciously ignored. Why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion start? No matter how magical Zhang Jiao is, if the people cannot survive, they cannot rebel at the risk of beheading!" Zhang Hao said directly,

"The Yellow Turban Rebellion has consumed a lot of energy from the Han Dynasty. The rebellion has continued in recent years, which has proved its vitality. I don't know if you have noticed that since this year, the Central Plains have drought and rainy, and grain production has been almost certain. The landlords and powerful families in various places will definitely pass the losses onto the people. What will the people do if they can't survive? How many rebellions can the Han Dynasty endure today?"

Looking at Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai's thoughtful expression, Zhang Hao continued,

"It's not just these, but there are more serious problems. Although I am not old, it is said that my physical condition is not good. If something really happens, it is another problem for who will succeed to the throne. To a certain extent, the two princes have represented two major forces, eunuchs and relatives, and the gentry are involved. If this problem breaks out, the conflict will be extremely fierce."

"Hey, the emperor is too ridiculous now!" Tian Feng said without hesitation. This is his character, and he is straightforward.

"Zigao, I misunderstood you before. Of course, I still don't like you having a good relationship with the eunuch. Now I want to ask you, what do you want to do? Why do you still have to do business even though you know that the world is going to be in chaos?"

"Me?" Zhang Hao pondered for a moment. Now it was obviously not the right opportunity to tell everything. After all, he just met Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng.

"I want to change something. I want to make people's lives better. I want to break the monopoly of knowledge by the aristocrats."

Looking at Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng's puzzled expressions, Zhang Hao smiled, "It seems a bit confusing to say this. Let me say this, I have returned from overseas and brought not only those treasures that cannot be eaten or used. There are also many other technologies and knowledge.

Well, for example, high-yield grains, and other crops that can make people feel full and warm. There are many books, better and more practical papermaking, and printing techniques that can easily copy a large number of books."

"Really?" Tian Feng stood up in surprise and asked, "If it is true as Zigao said, then you can be said to have immeasurable merit."

"Of course it's true. Brother Yuanhao and Brother Zhicai can go with me to check it out. It just so happened that Zhicai was doing nothing, so Brother Yuanhao hung up the seal. You two help me proofread the books and see which books are suitable for a large number of promotions. I have too many books on it and too many and complicated aspects. There are all in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad."

Zhang Hao directly invited.

Xi Zhicai looked at Zhang Hao thoughtfully. However, Tian Feng had no doubts at all and asked directly, "Where have they been placed?"

"In Wujun." Zhang Hao said without blinking. "In fact, the reason why I want to buy an official is to use my own resources in a formal name. Otherwise, no one will help me proofread the books. I still need teachers to spread knowledge, but if I have no official position, how can I find a teacher? In addition, I have no rights. Even if I print a lot of books, it may be directly accumulated by the wealthy families of the gentry, and ordinary people still cannot learn it."

Zhang Hao painted himself with a glorious halo.

"Okay, I'll accompany you for a while," Tian Feng said without hesitation. This made Zhang Hao feel a little ashamed, but he thought that he was not a lie. Those things he really wanted to do were just doing in the territory occupied by Zhang Hao. It was not a pure lying.

"Then I'll go there too. Anyway, I'm alone and have nothing to do." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.

Zhang Hao was overjoyed, haha, when it comes to Wujun, it will be difficult for you to leave. This is easy to get on the boat and get off the boat!

"Zigao, when are we going to leave?" Tian Feng asked.

"It will take about two days. I need to negotiate cooperation with those big businesses. No matter what I do, I need money and food. Cooperating with these businesses can help me accumulate enough money as soon as possible." Zhang Hao replied.

"When it comes to this, I don't know if you have considered Zigao. You should be careful when you leave this time. Now everyone knows that you, an overseas charity, are a rich man, with countless rare treasures and a lot of money in your hands. It's fine in Luoyang City, and there are still Zhang Rang protecting you. After leaving Luoyang City, there are probably many people who want to grab a vote. I guess even other eunuchs have this idea." Xi Zhicai reminded,

"From this perspective, despite Zhang Rang's greed, he is at least somewhat ashamed and decent."

"Hmph, there are too many villains in this world. Even traitors like Zhang Rang can be called a bit shameful and decent, which shows that the world is so chaotic." Tian Feng said angrily.

Zhang Hao was shocked, and Xi Zhicai's reminder was very timely. Because despite his infamous reputation in the past few days, the transaction went smoothly. Zhang Hao was a little careless without realizing it. This is also because Zhang Hao was too confident about Huang Zhong, a fierce general.

But if someone really sends out private troops or even sends out troops to siege, it will be a problem.

Zhang Hao immediately thanked Xi Zhicai for his reminder.
