On the way to Qi State, a carriage passed by leisurely. The driver was a groom and Dian Qing was beside him. The person in the car was naturally Hua Hao. After nearly half a month's journey, the capital of Qi State was close at hand.
"Hero Hua, we've arrived!" After a while, Dian Qing's voice rang out.
"Don't call me young hero. If you think I'm worthy, just call me Lil Hao or Wuque! Brother Dian, please send this to the Small Sage Manor. Tell them that I want to discuss a business deal with them and ask them to set a time and place. First, find an inn. I will wait for you at the inn.”Hua Hao complained about the way he addressed him. He corrected him many times along the way. After he was done, he took out a box and handed it to him, asking him to send it to the Little Sage Manor.
After winning the competition, Hua Hao took Dian Qing and set off. He also gave Zhu Hai 500 kilograms of sea king meat, saying that it was the reward for hiring Dian Qing. Dian Qing was worth this price. Along the way, Dian Qing took care of all the thieves.
"Good!" Dian Qing cherished his words like gold.
After that, he found an inn to settle down and waited for Dian Qing's news. Of course, it was the Confucian classic, The Analects of Confucius, in the form of books.
"Tomorrow at noon in the Little Sage Manor!" Dian Qing said after he returned.
"Thank you for your hard work. Hurry up and rest." Hua Hao said.
After Dian Qing left, Hua Hao began to look forward to tomorrow's meeting.
Time quickly passed and it was already noon the next day. Hua Hao also arrived at the entrance of the Small Saint Manor.
"I'm Hua Hao, and I'm here to meet you." Hua Hao said to the doorman.
"Please come in!" Clearly, someone had already instructed the doorman.
"I, Hua Hao and Hua Wuque, greet Senior Xun Zi and everyone else.”Hua Hao came to the living room and saw Xun Zi, Fu Nian, and Han Fei.
"Please sit!" Xun Zi said.
"This kid has come across this paper-making technique by chance, and its cost is extremely low. Moreover, this paper-making technique was of great significance to the development of culture. He was afraid that it would attract the covetous eyes of ambitious people, so he came to this small Sage Manor, which had the reputation of being the source of culture, to find an ally. He hoped that he could forgive him.”Hua Hao sat below Fu Nian and went straight to the point.
"I don't dare to say the origin of culture, but this paper-making technique is indeed of extraordinary significance to culture. How do you want to negotiate?" Xun Zi stroked his beard and smiled. It seemed like it was very useful.
"Wuque can give this paper-making technique to the scholarly faction, but I want 50% of the profit. I don't know anything about the price, so the scholarly faction will handle everything.”Hua Hao stated his conditions. These conditions were quite satisfactory.
"Good!" Xun Zi did not bargain. After all, such conditions were already generous enough. There was no need to push his luck.
"This is the art of making paper. In addition, the kid has a presumptuous request.”Hua Hao took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Nian beside him.
"Please speak!" Xun Zi took the paper from Fu Nian and said.
"I'm from Yanzhao. There's a conflict between the borders of Yanzhao and Yanzhao. My hometown also has the surname of Zhao and Yan. I've left my hometown because of this, so I want to stay here for a while to listen to your lecture and plan. May I?" Hua Hao said.
"Sure!" Xun Zi laughed.
Hence, Hua Hao stayed here. Before he came, he instructed Dian Qing to buy a mansion in Xinzheng, close to Xinzheng's Purple Orchid Pavilion, and it would be best if it was next to it. Hua Hao had obtained about a ton of gold from the Busan trip. It was more than enough to buy a house. He could return to Pijia Gate after sending the deed to the Little Sage Manor. Hua Hao spent his days playing the zither, practicing his sword, and listening to classes leisurely. Of course, if Han Fei didn't come to him every two or three days, he would be even more relaxed.
"Brother Hua, I'm here again!" Han Fei came to Hua Hao's door leisurely and shouted.
" Why the f * ck are you here again? Didn't I tell you? I was just spouting nonsense back then…" Hua Hao roared in exasperation.
"I'm here to treat you to a drink and have a heart-to-heart talk so that you won't be bored!”Han Fei said with a smile.
"I'm still a child. How can I drink? Heart-to-heart talk…Alright then!" Hua Hao roared. However, she thought of something and invited him in.
Han Fei came to him because Hua Hao accidentally said," The law forbade emotions, but emotions could be contained in the law. This was also the source of the saying that discretion was used. After hearing this, Han Fei imagined Hua Hao to be the kind of person who had great talent but was not appreciated by others.
"Brother Han, since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore. Although Brother Han is a heaven-shaking talent, I have no intention of becoming an official. Otherwise, I would definitely help you. How about we just talk about academics and nothing else?”Hua Hao said. Since smart people like to think too much, then I'll shatter their three views. Hua Hao didn't believe that he couldn't fool him by standing on the giant's shoulder. Hua Hao thought mischievously.
"Alright then, what do you think of the 'law', Brother Hua?”Han Fei said cynically.
"There are many opinions, so I won't go into detail. However, it was only 16 words!”Hua Hao said indifferently.
"Oh, which sixteen words?" Han Fei asked.
"There are laws to abide by, laws to abide by, law enforcement to be strict, and lawbreakers to be punished!”Hua Hao said forcefully.
"There are laws to abide by, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, lawbreakers must be punished…Good! Good! Well said!" Han Fei murmured and finally cheered.
"However, this world needs a voice and a law. There's still a long way to go!" Hua Hao said.
"Brother Hua is a genius!" Han Fei exclaimed.
"I don't dare to be so talented! However, I think Brother Han should think about it more. I won't disturb you any further. Remember to close the door!”Hua Hao lay on the bed and took a nap.
"…" Han Fei got up and closed the door silently.
Three months had passed, and many things had happened in these three months. Han Fei also often interacted with Hua Hao and was shocked by some of Hua Hao's wild ideas. As for Cheng Jiao, she still launched a rebellion but was suppressed and fled to Chu. Today, Dian Qing had returned from Xinzheng and was talking to Hua Hao in his room.
"This is the title deed, a handwritten letter, and the address.”Dian Qing handed over a box.
"Thank you for your hard work. Do you want to rest for a while before returning to the Armor Gate, or do you want to go back immediately?”Hua Hao asked.
"I don't dare to trouble Young Master Hua. I've already booked a carriage and will be leaving immediately!”Dian Qing said.
"Seeing that you've made up your mind, I won't keep you. This is some money for your travel expenses. Consider it a thank you gift for your help!" Hua Hao said. She also gave him a sum of money.
In the past three months, two batches of paper had been produced, and the reactions of various countries to paper had also begun to ferment. Therefore, Hua Hao did not lack money now.
"Senior Xun Zi is here to resign. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time.”Hua Hao said. He bid farewell to Dian Qing. He immediately went to Xun Zi to submit his resignation.
"If that's the case, I won't keep you." Xun Zi said calmly.
Hua Hao once again embarked on his journey…
