The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2463 The expensive goose in the capital

On the discussion list, everyone was discussing the Ten Rainbows Across the Sky and Fang Yun's works, but after a while, some articles that previously criticized and accused Fang Yun were turned up by others and reappeared in everyone's field of vision.

The scholars who had been defending Fang Yun before suddenly felt proud and began to fight back under those articles.

"The Qing countryman who said Fang Xusheng betrayed Confucianism, come out, I won't make things difficult for you, admit your mistake, otherwise don't force me to scold you and your ancestors, and then scold your ancestors and the whole Qing country. Anyway, I will be banned from the discussion list for at least half a year every year, so this time is not bad!"

"Fang Xusheng is so talented, he has worked hard to write books for hundreds of schools of thought for the human race, but there are still people who wrongly accuse him. He is not a son of man, not a son of man!"

"The one who mocked Fang Xusheng as the left prime minister of the sheep, now Fang Xusheng is covered with ten rainbows, you are making up stories again Let's give him a nickname. "

"Although merits are merits and faults are faults, it depends on what merits and faults are. Compared with the great merits of Fang Xusheng, Fang Xusheng's faults are really insignificant. You can talk about it and point it out, but if you insult and attack, or even frame and slander him, it means that you completely ignore Fang Xusheng's great contributions to the human race, and he is even worse than an animal. "

"Scholars of Qing Kingdom, don't be cowards, come out and talk about Fang Xusheng again!"

The discussion list was noisy, but the capital was even more chaotic than the discussion list.

Because Fang Yun had made such a great contribution, the ten rainbows across the sky, which was no less than the merits of the poet Xusheng. It would be fine if they didn't know about it, but now everyone in the world knows it, and if they don't go to congratulate him, it would be a violation of etiquette.

Therefore, whether the officials of Jing Kingdom supported Fang Yun or not, they didn't dare to pretend not to know at this time. Some asked their servants to send gifts, while those of lower ranks mostly went to send gifts themselves, which was the basic respect for Xusheng and great meritorious people.

In the past, they could just choose any gifts, but after the restoration of etiquette, all officials dared not give gifts randomly, and could only buy lambs, white geese or pheasants according to their status.

No matter how many high-ranking officials there were in the capital, they were limited, so it was very easy for high-ranking officials to buy lambs.

However, those officials of neither high nor low rank had to buy white geese.

The capital was very large, with many markets, and the number of white geese was enough to supply those officials. However, it was not only officials who gave gifts, but also scholars without official status.

Fang Yun did not clearly stipulate what non-official scholars should give, so almost all Juren, Jinshi and Hanlin chose to give white geese, because that was the etiquette announced by Fang Yun. If they gave something else, wouldn’t it be equivalent to opposing Fang Yun?

Since the constant changes of Wenquxing, the number of scholars in Jingguo has increased dramatically. The capital is the center of the country, and the number of scholars coming here has increased sharply.

So, in less than half an hour, all the white geese in the capital were sold out.

There are few white geese, but there are even fewer pheasants!

But the lower-level officials and scholars could only send pheasants according to etiquette.

It was impossible to buy so many pheasants in a short time, even in the vicinity of the capital, so the clever scholars remembered the story of the dog's tail and the mink's tail, and took some feathers from the pheasant and put them on the domestic chicken, which was barely rude.

All the feathers of the live and dead pheasants in the capital were not enough, but the pheasant feathers were bright and could be made into handicrafts, so the capital was not short of pheasant feathers.

However, the capital was short of domestic chickens!

So, the helpless scholars left the capital from all directions and went to the farms near the capital to buy white geese and pheasants.

At first, the uninformed merchants thought that there were too many buyers and deliberately raised the price, but when they learned that it was a gift for Fang Yun, no one dared to raise the price. Some merchants immediately sold it at the usual market price, and some did not sell it, but gave it away, giving away all the poultry in their hands, leaving only one for themselves, and carrying it to Quanyuan with a smile.

Soon, teasing words such as "the goose is expensive in the capital" and "a chicken's tail is added to a pheasant" spread in the capital, and finally reached the discussion list.

Many scholars laughed about this, but they were full of respect for Fang Yun in their hearts, because Fang Yun was the only one in the world who could make so many people send gifts.

Those officials might be afraid of being reported for violating etiquette, but those scholars without official status didn't care. If they didn't send gifts, no one would blame them.

However, almost everyone chose to send gifts.

For Fang Yun.

To revitalize Jingguo for Fang Yun.

To strengthen our human race for Fang Yun!

Adding a dog's tail to a marten is not a good word, but no one deliberately misinterpreted "a chicken's tail is added to a pheasant", because those who opposed Fang Yun on the discussion list before had been ridiculed by countless scholars. If they showed up again and said something bad about Fang Yun, there would definitely be scholars who dared to call their friends to confront them.

Soon, Fang Yun learned about this and his mind flew high.

Hundreds of thousands of people were seen running, walking, or riding in carriages, rushing to all directions of the capital to buy poultry outside the capital.

From the sky, it looked like ants migrating.

At first, only scholars bought lambs, white geese, pheasants and chickens. Later, when ordinary people in the capital learned about it, they actually asked about it. After learning that they should give ducks, they started to buy ducks.

So, when Fang Yun watched, the number of people who wanted to buy gifts increased by dozens of times, so there was such a grand occasion.

However, the flow of people in the capital was not only surging outward, but also surging to Quanyuan.

Fang Yun saw that countless people were holding lambs, white geese, chickens and ducks, heading to Quanyuan.

More than ten streets near Quanyuan were all crowded, and officials were seen holding white geese, chickens and ducks to guide the crowd.

Fang Yun saw this scene, and his heart was warm and he smiled.

No matter how misunderstood what he had done before, seeing this scene, all the unhappiness in his heart disappeared.

This is what people really want!

The hearts of bureaucrats always turn their backs on the people.

Later, many officials could not hold on, not because of the flow of people, but because the area around the spring garden would be filled with sheep, geese, chickens, ducks and all kinds of filth.

After all, those animals had never seen such a big world, and most of them were frightened to incontinence, and I don't know how many died.

So, officials sent letters to Fang Yun one after another, asking Fang Yun to solve this matter.

Fang Yun had no choice but to use humorous language to describe the scene he saw, saying that if everyone did not stop, his spring garden would become a manure garden, so please don't buy chickens and ducks to give away. If you really want to give them away, just say thank you in your heart.

After a few breaths, there were sounds coming from inside and outside the capital.

There were old voices, crisp voices, deep voices, sharp voices, and childish voices...

"Thank you Fang Xusheng! Thank you Fang Xusheng! Thank you Fang Xusheng..."

One after another, like a tsunami, it was endless.

The voices are not in unison, but the hearts are in unison.

The longevity jade throne placed in Fang Yun's home emits a faint light. If a semi-saint comes in person, he will find that dots of light appear from the void like fireflies and fall into the longevity jade throne.

This process has been going on, but it is more intense now.

This treasure obtained in the ancient land of Shihan is absorbing the hearts of the people, absorbing the national destiny, and feeding back to Fang Yun.
