Everyone is keen on fame and fortune, but everyone is ashamed to show their passion for fame and fortune. This is consistent with ancient and modern times. Looking at Qin Xiucai who was struggling with his own thoughts, Zhu Da couldn't help but think.

Qin Xiucai didn't think about it for too long this time, rubbed his forehead with his hands a few times, and said with a wry smile: "It's a bit cold outside. Let's go in and talk. Tell me why do you think so?"

"Isn't it the right way to study for imperial examinations and seek fame?" Zhu Da asked back and followed Qin Xiucai into the house.

As soon as the two sat down in the study, a servant came over to ask when the meal started. Qin Xiucai asked them to wait. As soon as the servant went out, Qin Xiucai pondered and said, "If you study for the imperial examination, you will memorize it by rote. You don't have to understand the great and wise logic in the scriptures. Just remember it. As long as you read the Four Books and Five Classics and the Ink Scroll, you don't need to do anything else. What's the use of reading such books? You're stiff and can't do anything, and you have to rely on your aides and teachers...

"After reading such a book, you can be fame and wealth and do things. Those who are irritated and unable to do things are willing to do things but others do not even have the qualifications to do things." Zhu Da argued, and at this time he had a little bit of a sense of defense.

By this time, Zhu Da probably understood Qin Xiucai's logic. Perhaps he had not figured it out, or perhaps he was pretentious. No matter what, scholar Qin Chuan was an outstanding person. Such extraordinary talents were always unwilling to be mediocre. They were disdainful to do what others did, and the fame, wealth and power obtained by operating the salt bank also confused him a little.

Qin Xiucai sat there with a complicated expression on his face. He looked at Zhu Da with a silence but stopped, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "You continue talking, why do I want to go to the imperial examination?"

"Why don't you go? Adopted father, you planned the salt bank for food and clothing and for friendship. Now you have no worries about food and clothing. The situation in the salt bank is very good. Shouldn't you plan your own future?" Zhu Da asked back.

Qin Xiucai waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "This has become a fight against the enemy, you can continue talking."

"The adoptive father, what is the fundamental reason for a literati? He is to read and understand the truth, and to help the world. It would be fine if he was a talented and incompetent old man. He would write letters on behalf of others, teach in private schools, and find food and clothing. His adoptive father was only thirty years old and had a strategy. He wanted to do big things. Otherwise, how could he use military and civil law to restrain the salt bank and do so happily." The more Zhu Da said, the more he felt a little difficult, and he was almost in a state of scabbling.

When he talked about this, he remembered that some people said that the college entrance examination was useless, that hard study destroyed childhood, and that happy education was also said, but it was enough for wealthy children to say this. In the end, the family has the power and money to provide him with a guarantee, but the common people are irritated but have a bad mind. No matter how hard the college entrance examination is, it is the right way, and it is the right way for the country and society to cultivate people. Through this way, you can get systematic training, enter a formal system, and exert your talents and abilities.

When the supply was not so abundant, and everyone thought they were a poor country, no matter how hard they were in school, they should be, because everyone knew that it was the only way out. When life was better, there were parents who had suffered that year and were unwilling to suffer. Some of them were blinded by various miracles and shortcuts exaggerated by the media. They thought that others could do it, but they didn't expect that it was one in a million, and their own children were one in a million.

"The adoptive father wanted to do something, but if he wanted to do it, he had to have the status and qualifications to do it. At present, the only way to obtain status and qualifications is the imperial examination. No matter how many people he walked, no matter how vulgar it looked, this was the right way." Zhu Da continued, saying this in his mouth, but he kept recalling the past in his mind.

In Zhu Da's opinion, Qin Xiucai was already a little fascinated by the practice of the Salt Stage, and even had an illusion that he could be fame and wealthy by relying on this. An ordinary scholar was in charge of money, food, and soldiers. The military officers in the garrison were respectful and polite. This was also power, wealth, and indeed confusing people, but these were all capped, and now they were almost at this cap.

"Entertainment Father, I'll say that no matter how big or good the salt stack is, it's not its own industry. Now it's not about working hard for food and clothing. If you want to have a long-term life, you still have to do things for the royal family."

After Zhu Da said this, Qin Xiucai looked up and said that he was indeed presumptuous. No matter how much he valued it, he would have the title of adoptive father and son. After all, Zhu Da had just arrived for a while and the two sides had not yet established a thorough trust. The friendship between Shengping Salt Stage and Qin Chuan was extraordinary. With the difference between closeness and distantness, this was very presumptuous.

However, the words were already spoken, and there was no need to continue to explain and cover up. Zhu Da felt a little embarrassed and distressed. He was also worried about the embarrassment of the situation in front of him and his situation. A twelve-year-old boy from a village, wanted to convince others and prove something, and he could only rely on endless talk. Zhu Da knew that he could say it, but he also knew that he had a poor grasp of the rhythm and timing. Even if he asked these words just now, he should tactfully stammer. After both parties get familiar with each other, he would talk in depth. Now he said it, the reverse effect may be greater. But some words should be said even if they were not good. Zhu Da had a sense of urgency. He wanted to seize every opportunity, and if he missed it, he would probably be gone.

When Qin Xiucai was staring at this, Zhu Da changed his mind. After hesitating and pondering, he gritted his teeth and said, "Entertainment Father, if Yan Zhan is really close to you, how could he recruit me beside him? Of course, I understand the adoptive father's love for talent, but will he have no other thoughts?"

He accepted himself as his adopted son to repay his kindness and love. He said that he was philanthropist or even to bet. If he had a future in the future, he would definitely be rewarded with the person he promoted. But if he thought more deeply, did Qin Xiucai need a close confidant and confidant who had no relationship with the Yanzhan? Is he wary of the Yanzhan? Qin Chuan might not be able to think clearly about some things, but he would make arrangements to seek profit and avoid harm.

After saying this, Qin Xiucai's expression changed, some were stunned, some were surprised, some were surprised, some were surprised. He looked at Zhu Da, stared at him for a long time, slowly shook his head and said, "Don't think about it randomly, Brother Yang and I have brotherhood..."

After explaining a few words, looking at Zhu Da's calm expression, Qin Xiucai shook his head helplessly, stared at Zhu Da and said, "What else do you want to say? Say it out together!"

"I hope my adoptive father will move forward more. When his adoptive father becomes rich, I can also follow the waters and rise. I also have the idea of ​​fame and fortune. An adoptive father who is an official and an adoptive father who is in charge of the salt stack. Of course, I will choose the one in front." Zhu Da said bluntly.

Hearing these "very sincere" words, Qin Xiucai was stunned at first, and even a little stunned expression. After that, he couldn't help laughing out loud, pointing at Zhu Da while laughing and saying, "I really don't know where that person came from. He is so vulgar, but so transparent and clear.

Qin Chuan laughed while talking and laughed, and even led Qin Qin who was playing outside. When the laughter stopped, Qin Xiucai just said, "In the game, the authorities are confused, but you can see clearly. Your words are like a wake-up call. They were vaguely blurred in the past, but today they are clear. Let me think about it for a few days. Everyone is hungry and have a meal first."

When the meal started, the girl Qin Qin cheered, but she did not forget to call Zhou Qingyun, and Zhu Da did not continue to speak. In fact, many of the questions in the conversation were avoided and vague. However, today's words are extremely in-depth, and I don't know the right way.

Qin Xiucai was in a good mood at dinner and did not pay attention to any etiquette of food and speechlessness. He talked to Zhu Da, but the conversation before dinner did not mention a single word, just talked about the things in the salt store, and told Ding Baotong a lot about the origin.

When Shopkeeper Ding had a backer, he was not as cautious as he saw today. He was extremely arrogant. As long as his civil and military officials and local gentry were not as good as his backer, he would be arrogant and offended many people. So when his backer died, he would be knocked out of dust.

Without a backer, he was just a lowly businessman. He was not considered anything on the ground of Datong. He died if he died. The reason why he didn't die immediately was because everyone was staring at Ding Baotong's property. His general backer was known for being rich at that time. There were even rumors that Ding Bao was richer than his backer because he had been working on it.

It is precisely because of this that Ding Baotong was caught and imprisoned on the third day of his backer's death. You know, Shopkeeper Ding was not prepared for this day. He was almost one of the first people to know that he died in the battle. He immediately took Xiaoruan to run away, but he was also arrested as soon as possible.

"The generals of Datong have this virtue. Let the victory and loss beside first. Making money is the most important thing. His general died in battle and several fast horses from the front camp went to send messages. They all wanted to seize Ding Baotong's. The general's own family can still protect him. Ding Baotong's fat meat, and there are too many people staring at him."

Without a backer and going to the prison, I don’t know how many cruel methods have been prepared. On the one hand, I have to squeeze out family wealth, and on the other hand, I have to count the grudges. I have to take care of this manager Ding’s wife and children, too, were arrested for threats.

"...This Ding Bao is very similar to the ghost..." Qin Xiucai commented.

What people unexpectedly thought was that Manager Ding’s wife and children were fake, they were bought from other places and orphans. They had been kept at home for four or five years. The real wife and children were no longer in the future. Then one-third of the money in the family went, and they must have been taken away by their wife and children, and they had been rich all their lives.

And the remaining two-thirds of the Ding Baotong actually dedicated it to the eunuch of Datong's garrison. Only this Daxiang dared to collect such a large sum of money, and only this Daxiang is qualified to intervene.
