Chapter 302 You have to go even if you don’t want to go
“Of course not!”
Li Dachui’s decisive answer made Mr. Yu suddenly darken his face. Although he knew it was not the case in his heart, you brat said Isn't it a lie to deceive an old man like me?
"Master, I'm here to take you to Tai'an City!"
What Li Dachui said next made Old Yu a little dumbfounded.
"What are you doing? Let me go outside the customs? Do you know how old I am?" Yu Entai glared at Li Dachui.
"Master is only fifty-five years old this year! He is very young!" Li Dachui said with a smile.
Yu Entai shook his head: "I'm old. When I came out of seclusion, the soil was only buried up to my waist. But now, the soil has been buried up to my neck. If I don't leave, it's hard to leave my homeland. We Daqin people, As for a fallen leaf returning to its roots, I hope to be buried in the soil of my hometown after death!”
“Teacher, the world is ruined. Throughout my journey, I have only seen human lives like grass and grass. Chaos, Luoyang and Chang'an are in the same line, and then there will be chaos in Chang'an. This place is no longer suitable for people to live in." Li Dachui said.
“Nonsense!” Yu Entai glared: “Even if the world is in chaos, no one will bother me, a little Zhuangzi!”
"Teacher, of course I won't bother you if you have status, status and knowledge, but those people who don't know a single word and have never had enough to eat since childhood, do you know who you are?" Li Dachui spread his hands and said: "When refugees and bandits come here, in their eyes, you have food and clothing in this village. Do you think they will be polite? Your elegant houses and pavilions, in their eyes The eyes are probably very burning. Can they be used to make a fire for cooking and keeping warm?”
Yu Entai waved his hand and said: “I understand what you mean, but I don’t want to leave. If this day comes, they will rob me if they want. , Burn it if you want! Yu has taught countless students in his life, and most of them have become officials, and they are still high-ranking officials. However, the world is getting worse and worse. Disciples, I have not seen anyone who can turn the tide and save the people from the fire. It is really shameful to say that if the time comes, the things here can calm their anger and relieve them for a while. Sleepy, I’m satisfied too!”
Seeing the old man’s stubbornness, Li Dachui also became angry: “Teacher, you have always said that there is no distinction between teaching and learning, and your greatest wish in this life is that everyone knows the books and etiquette. This area outside the Pass can be regarded as a desert of knowledge. Did you know that there are millions of people outside the Pass, and the number of people who are literate is at most 20,000 or 30,000. This makes it very difficult for me to govern the area outside the Pass! Those scholars inside the Pass are not willing to go there at all. Even people like you don’t want to go there. Why, you deserve to be left behind outside the customs! Can’t you go there to teach and educate people?”
Looking at Li Dachui who was foaming at the mouth, Yu Entai smiled. He stood up and said, "Sledgehammer, your method of stimulating generals is too blunt. It is of no use to people like me!"
Li Dachui snorted and said: "I don't care, you have to go anyway, Let me tell you, when Chang'an is in chaos, even Uncle Wang's ninth-level masters will not be able to protect you."
"No need to talk nonsense, how about Zhou Xingxing? And where is Master Fu Qing?"
"Teacher, the old man is a congenital master. Naturally, he is in good health and eats deliciously. I don't care about anything now, the biggest The fun is to dress up as urban management and collect fines in Tai'an City every day."
"What are urban management?"
"Oh, they are the people who manage Tai'an City. We have many old men there. Madam, I was too busy with nothing to do, so I gave them a job. I walked around the city every day. If I saw someone urinating or spitting everywhere, I would fine them ten cents apiece. They would get a commission. ! Don't tell me, they are very motivated. Teacher, although Chang'an is the most beautiful place, our city of Tai'an is just a remote town, but when it comes to cleanliness, your Chang'an can't keep up with our Tai'an!"
"Everyone says that my family is good!" Mr. Yu seemed a little unconvinced, but he was not willing to refute Li Dachui.
"Master Fu Valley is amazing now." Li Dachui looked at Yu Entai and said: "The second and third generation disciples of Changchun Valley are now out of the valley. They no longer stay in the valley immersed in research as before, but go among the people. I He spent money to open countless small medical clinics outside the customs. In each small medical clinic, there are Changchun Valley disciples. In Aquarius City, there is a large medical clinic and a medical school. The large medical clinic specializes in treating difficult and complicated diseases. The hospital specializes in medical research. Teacher, if you go, you can see that our medical skills are improving rapidly!"
"Okay, okay!" Yu Entai nodded repeatedly.
"Master Fu is currently immersed in writing medical books. Teacher, this is not the kind of book that is difficult to understand for experts to read, but is concise and clear at a glance, and anyone can read it. . Among them are hundreds of prescriptions that have been verified by him. When it is completed, I will print thousands of copies of this book and distribute it. "
"Okay!" After saying a few good words, Yu Entai reacted, looked at Li Dachui and said with a smile: "Don't persuade or provoke me in a roundabout way, I will not leave Chang'an."
"No, no, no, I just said it casually when the teacher asked them!" Li Dachui stood up with a smile: "Teacher, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, do you still remember that I am very good at cooking after eating Uncle Wang's cooking over the years? , are you tired of it?”
"A gentleman doesn't go near the chef!" Yu Entai said.
“Eating, drinking, having sex, and sleeping are among the five major things in life, and eating ranks first!” Li Dachui said with a smile: “Besides, this is also my filial piety as a disciple! Please squint for a while and wait for your meal. I'll call you when you're done!" Smoke curled up from the kitchen.
Fang Mao Mao is in charge of lighting the fire,
Old Wangtou holds the kitchen knife and handles various dishes carefully,
Li Dachui was busy in front of the stove waving a spatula.
Old Wangtou’s knife edge was extremely impressive. Fang Mao Mao couldn’t help but feel a little tight when he looked at the thin fish fillets on the desk and the fish bones that still maintained the shape of fish. .
He is also a knife user, just like Lao Wangtou treated a fish like this, it is really impossible.
"Master Sledgehammer, my cooking skills are not as bad as you said! I learned a few dishes from you in Tai'an City, but now I am getting better and better at it, and I will not lose to you!" "Old Uncle Wang, who was holding a lean meat dumpling, said a bit impoverished.
He heard clearly what Li Dachui said earlier about his cooking skills in the room.
"Just make the teacher happy, Uncle Wang, don't take it personally!" Li Dachui chuckled: "Over the years, I have developed dozens of new dishes. If Uncle Wang goes to Tai'an City, you will learn enough!"
“ Actually, I want to go!” Old Wang said: “I just don’t want to go, and there’s nothing I can do about it. The older I get, the more stubborn I am, and I can’t even try to persuade him!”
“ Why do you want to persuade?" Li Dachui said with a smile.
“What do you mean?” Old Wangtou asked in astonishment.
"Teacher is not in good health right now, and his qi is accumulated inside. I will prescribe some medicine later to help him recover properly!" Li Dachui said: "When the body is almost healed, I will give him another dose of medicine. Put him down, load him into the carriage, and head straight out of the pass!”
"Bullshit!" Old Wang Wang rolled his eyes: "Your teacher's body is already like a candle in the wind, can he still withstand your drug knocking him down?"
"Uncle Wang Do you not believe me?" Li Dachui said dissatisfiedly: "Don't forget, Master Fu Qing is my master, and my medical skills are also great. I can still harm my teacher, even though he will suffer a lot. He was in a daze on the way, but it was in this daze that he slowly repaired his body and repaired his sieve-like body. The teacher is a serious person, and he really wants to have a clear mind. Thinking about things is not conducive to recovery."
"Is it really okay?"
"Uncle Wang, will I harm my master?"
"Then? Not at all!" Lao Wang nodded: "You can kill two birds with one stone by taking your teacher outside the customs! Firstly, it will satisfy your filial piety and prevent the master from being in danger again. Secondly, your teacher is All the scholars in the world will be half as tall as you in front of your teacher. If he goes to Guanwai and reopens the gate, just based on his reputation, I am afraid that scholars will flock to him. Is this your calculation?"
Li Dachui chuckled: "Uncle Wang can see it clearly! Now that I am outside the customs, I have a lot of people and my force is not bad, but there are too few people who are literate. With my reputation as a teacher, I will definitely attract a large number of people to follow me. In the past, it can greatly alleviate my shortcomings in this area. And Uncle Wang, these people went to Guanwai, which actually saved me a bit of culture for this world! In this world where heroes are fighting for hegemony, what is the most useful thing? ? Force! What is the most worthless thing? Bai Wuyi is a scholar! "
"Why are you putting so much effort into it?"
"This is a fool's opinion. I am a smart man, Dachui!" Li Dachui said: "And I really want to make good use of Master's reputation!"
"Your teacher is too famous. "If you really want to go outside the customs, I'm afraid there will be many people who won't be happy, right?" Old Wang thought for a moment and said, "If we really want to go, I'm afraid it won't be smooth sailing, and someone might do something bad. , Your teacher may not be able to make it out of the customs alive! Sledgehammer, if I don’t have the ambition to destroy my own prestige, even though your Uncle Wang is at the top of the ninth rank, at this time, I can’t guarantee that the old man will be safe. Send it outside the customs? Unless you go back together."
"Don't worry, Uncle Wang!" Li Dachui said with a smile: "I will naturally arrange everything. The teacher will be here long ago. It’s outside the customs. You don’t think I have any manpower to use inside the customs?”
"That's good!" Mr. Lao Wang nodded: "It doesn't matter if he goes outside the customs. With Master Fu Qing by his side to help your teacher recuperate, he really may live a long life."
