Chapter 170

Although Xunzi was morally noble and would not be keen on pursuing fame and fortune, there was better than nothing. If he could be re-elected for sacrificial wine, it would be helpful to carry forward his own school. Why not do it? Anyway, he relies on his apprentice to rob and be upright and open, so he doesn't need to give up directly.

Before the winter test, he placed his hope on Yang Zheng alone. Both sides had an intention to each other, but unfortunately Guiguzi secretly caused trouble, which made Yang Zheng's visit to his disciples go to a bubble. He had to shift his goal and transfer his hope to other freshmen.

Last night, Zhang Cang successfully became a disciple, and perhaps Xunzi's consideration of this aspect was hidden. After all, he was a Confucian disciple who passed the winter test and would definitely represent Confucian competition next year. However, in terms of qualifications and ranking, unless Xunzi gave it all, his hope of winning is slim.

Now, Yan Mo has taken the initiative to stand up and wants to become Xunzi's disciple, and his situation is very different. Before entering the academy, this person was a famous genius in the capital, and was only inferior to Er Yang in the winter test. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the top three in the competition for sacrificial wine next year.

If Xunzi is willing to accept him and cultivate him, he will definitely improve his cultivation with his qualifications and talents, and he is qualified to compete with Yang Xuan, which is not comparable to Zhang Cang and others.

On the other hand, if Xunzi refused to accept disciples, which made Yan Mo feel humiliated and completely disappointed with the Xun faction, then he would turn to the Meng faction. By the time of competition next year, he would be able to work but not work hard, and not help Xunzi compete for the sacrificial wine.

Therefore, this time, taking disciples was also Xunzi's chance to change the pattern of the dispute over sacrificial wine.

Yang Zheng knew the pros and cons of it well and replied: "Even if I have face, I dare not overstep my authority and make the decision for Xun Sheng. You know Xun Sheng's temper, it depends entirely on his personal likes and dislikes. No matter how hard I recommend it, if he doesn't appreciate Yan Mo, it would be useless."

This is the truth. Yesterday, he introduced Han Fei, Li Si and Zhang Cang at the same time. Although Xunzi fulfilled his face, he still set a test and finally blocked Li Si. This is Xunzi's style. Face is for face, and he will never give up his principles.

Yang Zheng said ugly words first because he was afraid that if Xunzi refused to accept disciples after accepting the gift, this would probably make General Chen angry and think that he would not do anything to accept the gift, and thus turn against him. Yang Zheng made it clear in advance that General Chen would not blame him in the future.

General Manager Chen shook his head and said, "I understand your concerns, and I also know that Xun Sheng set up a test yesterday and rejected someone. But I believe that as long as you are willing to recommend it, the talent of a son-in-law should be enough to impress Senior Xun Sheng."

He asked for help but was inconvenient to speak out. He was afraid that Yang Zheng would be scammers and would not help him with all his heart.

When Yang Zheng heard this, he pondered for a moment, suddenly picked up a pill and asked, "Old Chen, what kind of elixir are these pills?"

He turned the topic abruptly to this point, not on a whim, and asked casually. Manager Chen was so smart that he quickly understood what he meant and replied: "The elixir is divided into nine grades, and these six are all seven grades, which are already the highest-grade elixirs in the academy."

The eighth-grade magic pill is for the king's personal use. There may not be many in a country. How could the King of Qi be willing to hand it over to the academy for outsiders to enjoy it? As for the ninth-grade magic pill, it is rare in the world, and no one knows its whereabouts.

Therefore, the seventh-grade spiritual pill is extremely important. If it were not for this holy place of cultivation, even the top powerful people from the outside world, such as the Jimotian family, would not get many. If the purpose of the spiritual pill is limited, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, which would be even more difficult to find.

In order to help his son-in-law pave the way, General Manager Chen spent a lot of money this time.

Yang Zheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously looked up at the surroundings, afraid that passers-by would see this scene, and suddenly remembered that almost no one would come here to the saint's residence, which led to the back mountain, so he felt relieved.

Seeing that he was hesitant, General Manager Chen clearly wanted to raise the price, so he gritted his teeth and whispered: "This is really the best spiritual pill I can find. If you are not satisfied, I will add at most two more. Otherwise, I would rather go and see Xun Sheng in person."

If General Manager Chen can replace Lou He, the power behind him will definitely be very popular when he sits in this position. If Xun Sheng was not arrogant and not close to the world, his son-in-law Yan Mo was a Confucian scholar, he would not have to be humble and ask Yang Zheng for help.

Yang Zheng replied: "I can help you make this happen, but I want to add an additional request."

Mr. Chen's eyes lit up slightly and he smiled and said, "As long as you can do it, everything is easy to discuss."

Yang Zheng covered the box, put it in his sleeve, and said, "This requirement is not difficult for the general manager. I just want to receive the allowance for the next year in advance and get it all at once, so as not to have to go there every month."

He thought to himself that if you want to spend your previous life, this is to find financial advances.

Mr. Chen's eyes trembled slightly and asked vigilantly: "Why are you doing so many at the same time? The elixir has extremely powerful medicinal effect. Just one is enough to make you digest for more than half a month. Cultivation is different from eating. If you take too much elixir, you will explode and die!"

He was keenly aware that this was extraordinary.

Yang Zheng smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I can't become fat in one breath. I understand this. There is no way, I can't eat alone, I have to coax my sweetheart, and take care of a group of brothers. How can I only have six?"

That being said, in fact, he was ready to run away.

Due to the practice of the method, he could not learn much in this Jixia Academy. If he continued to stay here, it would be like being an idle person and having a free meal and spending time in his old age. Therefore, he had to change his original plan and consider returning to Zhao State in advance.

Before running away, of course, you must make full use of your identity as a guest official and make a big profit first.

Mr. Chen's face changed and he would not easily believe his nonsense. He said, "You know, the position of a guest minister is very leisurely, and he can enter and exit the academy freely. Those who are qualified to hold celebrities. They often don't care about this title and will abandon their posts at any time."

The allowances for guests have always been paid once a month. If someone is not in the school this month, it means he has not served the school this month, and the allowances for this month will not be paid. In other words, they are paid on their jobs.

The guest official requested advance payment, which was obviously suspected of resigning.

Yang Zheng smiled kindly, "But you also know that I am different from those guests. Although I am in this position, in fact, I am just a young man who has just started a new cottage. How could he give up this prominent position? How could he kill a chicken to get eggs? How could he be as fine as a long flow of water!"

President Chen thought for a while and felt that this was reasonable. Yes, Yang Zheng is just a young junior and has no strong cultivation. He can receive monthly allowances, which is purely a waste of money. With such a beautiful thing that is worthless, who is willing to give up on his own initiative?

Only fools will do it if they give up their iron rice bowl sooner or later!

After figuring out this level, he was still a little worried, "Compared with what you helped me, this request is indeed nothing. However, I will take away so many rare elixirs at once, and once the school checks it, it will be difficult for me to explain. Why not leave me a document!"

Yang Zheng happily agreed, took out the paper and pen from the ring, and bowed to start writing the document.
