C365 Transactions (2/2)

And the other request, made Li Gang feel that Xiao Wen was a schemer.

In reality, after Xiao Wen left, Li Gang had carefully thought over the request Xiao Wen had made, but he still could not think of what Xiao Wen actually wanted to do. Xiao Wen had requested that, from today onwards, Li Gang would need to make some changes in his teaching and use this as a foundation to stir up the minds of all the experts in the Great Tang Dynasty, forming a trend of thought.

This bit of arrangement was actually a change made by Xiao Wen in order to let the Great Tang Dynasty make a more active diplomatic strategy.

It was a common tactic in the Victorian era, when scholars and rulers began to have a systematic understanding of the concept of class.

Even in the twenty-first century, there will be many countries that like to create opportunities and profit for their own countries by inciting internal conflicts in other countries.

Xiao Wen had merely followed their example and made this attempt in the highest academy in Great Tang Dynasty.

As long as he succeeded, Xiao Wen would have more opportunities to seek for his own benefits in the Great Tang Dynasty.

”If this Xiao Wen is a member of my Gui Sect... No, even if he was just an ordinary merchant, that would be good enough. With this kind of situation, my Confucian school does not need to be at a loss when facing merchants. We can even use the most conservative method to deal with them. ”We can be like the Daoists of the past, playing the business in the palm of our hands.” Li Gang thought.

After all, heavy agricultural control was something that the Confucian school advocated. But that was actually something he had learned from the Law. Therefore, Confucianism could not possibly treat this object as the highest form of faith, like the law.

If there is a profit to be made, heavy agribusiness is actually something they can give up.

In the following few days, Xiao Wen continued his social activities.

He continued to conduct trades amongst the famous people in the Great Tang Dynasty. By checking the chips in his hands, he found the people who were most suitable to conduct such trades, and traded them with him for what he wanted.

”Sir, are you not tired of doing this?” On the evening of the eighth day, Xiao Wen rejected Fang Xuanling's good intentions to stay for a meal. After leaving the house, Sun Shangxiang, who was sitting on the in the carriage, weakly complained.

This entire day, it was as if this girl had become a completely different person. She completely retracted the aura of a ruffian from her body, turning into a well-behaved girl.

She and the other children, while Xiao Wen and his wife were conversing, she was also getting on good terms with the house children as well as Fang Xuanling's wife.

Although there were no substantial benefits to doing so, doing so would at least let Fang Xuanling be more convinced of Xiao Wen's sincerity.

After all, as long as Sun Shangxiang acted cute for a bit, the wife would still push him to finish the deal she had made with him at night.

Seeing Sun Shangxiang's tired expression, Xiao Wen knew that these kids were indeed not able to bear the continuous social interaction these past few days.

Although Guan Yu was still calm, but even Sun Shangxiang, who had the second highest physique amongst his children, had revealed a tired look.

Zhuge Liang, Yang Xiu, and Shangguan Waner were even worse off.

After getting on the carriage, the three children snuggled against each other and closed their eyes to sleep, not disturbing the shaking of the carriage as it rolled across the road.

Looking at them, Xiao Wen helplessly scratched his head and said, ”Long and short, it's a kind of romance for men. Ever since I was very young, I had always wanted to use my mouth and constantly exchange benefits to gain benefits for myself. So while it is tedious to seek out benefits, it seems to me to be a very cool thing to do. ”

”Cool?” Sun Shangxiang could not understand the meaning of this word.

”Handsome!” Xiao Wen changed his vocabulary and explained.

”Oh!” Sun Shangxiang did not look like a noble in the slightest as he laid down on his seat, and said, ”But we don't feel that it's that cool! Sir, can we take a day off tomorrow? ”

”This …” Looking at these children, Xiao Wen felt a little helpless. So he said, ”All right! Tomorrow, we will rest for a day. The day after tomorrow, you will all follow me to the Imperial Palace! ”
