"Don't worry, Duke of E," Li You comforted him."There's a cart full of wine here! Both! Everyone can drink it."
This was true.
Everyone was given a small portion of the wine in the cart.
But then again, it was just a little. Don't forget, there were nearly ten thousand people present. How much could each person get?
Moreover, this wine was really too good!
Upon closer inspection, the entire glass of wine was as clear as a sweet spring without any impurities. At first glance, it was extremely tempting.
Taking a whiff, a strong fragrance of wine wafted over, making one's spirit jolt!
When he put it into his mouth to taste, five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and astringent came out. It was mellow and fragrant, as if he was savoring life.
"After living for half a lifetime, I finally know what wine is!”
"Only Du Kang can solve my worries! If Cao Cao had drunk this cup of wine back then, he would probably have abandoned the Dukang wine as if it was a broken shoe, right?”
"Bejeweled nectar, immortal wine, I think it's only so-so!”
"Unfortunately, it's too little! Too little! If I can have another sip, I…am willing to pay!”
"Yiguan money? How can you say that? I'm willing to pay two strings, five strings, or even ten strings. The problem is, no one is selling this thing! Didn't you see how anxious the Duke of E was?”
Indeed, Yuchi Gong was a wine lover. After tasting white wine for the first time in his life, and only after tasting a cup, he simply did not feel good.
"King Qi!" He cupped his hands and said. Please, let me have a taste, let me have another taste! I don't believe that you didn't have any stock? What conditions do you want? Just say it. If you frown, I'm not a good man!”
Li You shook his head slightly and said,"I'm sorry, but I really don't have any more." There are only a limited number of skilled craftsmen in my residence, so I can only produce this much wine. Now, they were all transported here for everyone to drink!”
"Not enough skilled craftsmen?" Yuchi Gong asked anxiously. Then…then he should find more skilled craftsmen!”
"This king did. " But…" Li You raised his chin and looked in Duan Lun's direction."Minister Duan refused to cooperate! The craftsman I asked for, Yang Siqi, had his legs broken. How could it be so easy to get more good wine?”
So he was waiting for me here!
Duan Lun instantly understood what Li You meant and said loudly,""Everyone, don't be fooled by King Qi Li You's fine wine! No matter how good the wine was, it was just a taste. How could they not pursue the crime of trespassing into the Ministry of Works because of this?”
"Uh…this…"
He took her hand and ate her mouth.
Although what Duan Lun said made sense, it was still embarrassing to criticize Li You after tasting such good wine.
In fact, many people felt that it was not impossible to barge into the Ministry of Works just for the sake of such fine wine. Thinking about it carefully, if he could not expand the scale, how could he drink such fine wine? It would be a great regret if he did not taste such fine wine in his life!
Of course, he could only think about it and not say it out loud.
Therefore, the scholars looked at each other and did not comment.
Even if the disciples of the great clans led the way, they were sparse and could not affect the overall situation.
When Duan Lun saw this, he was so angry that his liver trembled. He shouted,"Are you all scholars? Have you all forgotten the teachings of the saints? Can't you tell the difference between law and wine?”
"Haha! Well said!"
Before the students could express their opinions, Li You suddenly spoke up,"Indeed, Duan Lun, you're right. Fine wine and the law can't be compared. But what about the teachings of the saints?"
If it was in the future, the law and the teachings of the saints, which was more important, was not worth discussing at all-the law was more important.
In this era, it was…fine, it was indeed not worth discussing, but the answer was: The teachings of the Saints were the most important!
Nonsense, everyone was a Confucianist, not a Legalist. The most important thing was to talk about "etiquette" and not "law!"”
An ominous feeling rose in Duan Lun's heart.""What…what do you mean?"
"Now!" Li You said. Zan Junmo, show everyone what's on the second cart!”
"Yes!"
The person driving the second cart was Li You's loyal dog, Zan Junmo!
Swoosh!
The curtain of the second carriage was pulled down, revealing the things inside.
"Everyone, look! This is also a gift from King Qi! A thousand copies of the Analects of Confucius!"
A warrior in front of the hall came up and distributed these books.
"Strange! What did the Analects of Confucius have to do with craftsmen?”
"Although one book isn't cheap, King Qi can't possibly hope to bribe everyone with this.”
"I don't know! However, since King Qi had said so, it meant that he had a certain degree of confidence. At the very least, the value of this carriage of books should be comparable to that carriage of wine, right?”
……
Everyone discussed animatedly as they flipped open the Analects of Confucius.
But-
There was nothing special about it. The paper could only be considered ordinary, and the words on it were not very clear... It could only be considered an ordinary book.
What was King Qi planning?
Finally, someone noticed the abnormality and exclaimed,""Everyone, look! The handwriting of the two books was exactly the same! How…how did he do it?”
"Is that so?"
Everyone immediately became spirited and began to compare carefully.
This comparison was incredible. People suddenly realized that the 1,000 copies of themselves were all the same!
"The handwriting of a thousand books is the same. How is this possible?”
"There are no alterations. It's impossible for a person to copy a thousand books without making any mistakes. Besides, which scholar would be willing to do such a thankless task?”
"Could it be that King Qi has some special method that allows him to obtain an identical book without copying it? This…this can't be true, right?”
……
Scholars understood the importance of books the most. When they saw a thousand identical books appear at the same time, the crowd instantly erupted!
