Chapter 296: Concealing the Truth
"Can't you change your name?" Cui Yu looked at him.
"Change your name?" Gong Nanbei was stunned, not understanding what Cui Yu meant.
"For example, trumpet... vest..." Cui Yu blinked at Gong Nanbei.
"Trumpet? Vest? What is that?" Gong Nanbei was stunned.
"For example, Anonymous." Cui Yu said.
When he was a child, he also thought that Anonymous was an author. Every time he saw an author named Anonymous, he admired him in his heart.
Why is Anonymous so powerful?
Can you write so many good articles? Write so many good stories?
But it wasn't until Cui Yu grew up that he realized what the anonymous person meant.
Gong Nanbei looked at Cui Yu as if he was looking at a fool.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to write a book? Just change your name." Cui Yu was puzzled.
"Isn't that making wedding clothes for others? If someone else pretends to be a classic and takes his reputation, wouldn't it be in vain to make wedding clothes for others?" Seeing Cui Yu's confused eyes, Gong Nanbei explained:
"Writing books and biographies that are sung all over the world is like the immortals and Buddhas who set up temples and receive incense from the people. If you build a temple and create a statue of a god, but don't write the name of the god, who will the incense you burn then be offered to?"
"Sir, he writes books and biographies not only for the purpose of spreading knowledge, but also for his own cultivation, using the wisdom of all sentient beings in the world to hone his own path. If you want to print a book, that's easy." Gong Nanbei sighed.
Cui Yu thought thoughtfully, this is the role of a name.
You must have a name when burning incense, otherwise who knows which deity and Buddha you are burning?
"If you want to use the wisdom of the people in the world to torture your own heart, to truly cross the threshold and achieve your own way, you must have scholars all over the world read and ponder your own classics, and you must spread your knowledge throughout the world."
"With your current reputation, how difficult it is to write a book and write a biography!" Gong Nanbei sighed: "It is as difficult as ascending to heaven! A phoenix is not as good as a chicken, not to mention that there is a lineage of saints like Mencius on top. No matter what, if a student turns his back on his teacher, it will be despised by all the great orthodoxy who respect their teachers."
Cui Yu wiped his hands: "It may not be impossible!"
"Oh?" Gong Nanbei paused while eating: "Junior brother, do you have any ideas?"
"Give me Mr.'s books," Cui Yu said.
Gong Nanbei wiped his hands and carefully handed the book over to Cui Yu.
Cui Yu took the book from his husband and looked at it in his hand, but he couldn't read after all, so he could only close the book: "I may have some ideas, just leave this matter to me."
After finishing speaking, Cui Yu stuffed the book into his sleeve: "Boy, pack it up."
"I haven't finished eating yet." Gong Nanbei muttered.
Gong Nanbei had no choice but to stand up and go downstairs while chewing on the crystal elbow.
The waiter packed the food boxes and ordered them to be delivered to Baicao Hall. Cui Yu led the two little ones downstairs.
"Senior brother, won't you go back with us?" Cui Yu couldn't help but asked with a surprised look on his face as he looked at Gong Gong Nan Bei who turned to leave.
"I'll go talk to the three booksellers again, and maybe we can come up with some ideas." Gong Nanbei chewed on his elbow, pretending to be cool, and turned around to leave.
Seeing Gong Nanbei covered in grease, Cui Yu suddenly felt a sore nose.
Holding the two little hands, Cui Yu continued to walk towards Baicao Hall.
On the way back, Cui Li suddenly raised his head and looked at Cui Yu with his eyes: "Brother, will you suddenly no longer want us one day?"
Cui Yu paused, stopped and looked at the two little ones, then stretched out his hand to stroke the heads of the two little ones: "You remember, I will always be your brother, and you will always be my younger brothers and sisters. We’ll always be a family.”
The two little ones smiled when they heard this, their eyes were full of joy, they held Cui Yu's hand happily, and even their steps were a little brisk.
All the way to Baicao Hall.
"I can smell the fragrance from afar. It must be my junior brother here." Wang Yi was washing pots and cooking in the yard. When he saw Cui Yu walking in with a food box, his eyes immediately lit up and his greedy self was awakened. .
Cui Yu smiled and glanced across the yard.
Wang Yi ran over and grabbed the food box. After opening it, he exclaimed: "My favorite braised pork rice! Wow... and crystal elbows! This is a prawn from the East China Sea."
Wang Yi looked at the dozens of food boxes and kept yelling.
Looking at Wang Yi who was enjoying his meal, Cui Yu patted the heads of the two little ones, then turned and walked out of the academy, walking all the way towards a certain building in Daliang City.
The Chen family's old house is Wu Guang's current residence.
Wu Guang was not surprised to see Cui Yu arriving. He had long been controlled by his inner demons.
"I want to see Tang Zhou." Cui Yu said to Wu Guang.
For this kind of thing, we can only ask Tang Zhou for now.
And after yesterday's chat, his sense of Tang Zhou has improved greatly.
The good and evil in the world cannot be described in just a few words.
"What are you looking for Tang Zhou for?" Wu Guang was stunned.
Although his body is controlled by the Ape, he is not a Ape. He has his own consciousness.
"You guys, I asked you to go find Tang Zhou. You just go and find him. What are you doing here?" Xin Yuan, who had transformed into a tengu, cursed angrily in Cui Yu's arms.
Wu Guang lowered his head, his eyes flashed red, turned around and walked out.
Cui Yu didn't let Cui Yu wait long when a peach tree twisted in the yard and Tang Zhou slowly walked out.
"Unexpectedly, we met again just after we parted. I heard you were looking for me?" Tang Zhou looked at Cui Yu.
"I'm looking for you." Cui Yu said.
"Have you changed your mind? Do you want to join Taiping Dao?" Tang Zhou asked with a smile.
"I have something to ask you for, something very important." Cui Yu said.
"Tell me about it." Tang Zhou smiled and sat opposite Cui Yu.
"Have you heard of Li Ming from Baicaotang?" Cui Yu asked.
"That old sour scholar?" Tang Zhou asked in surprise: "What did you ask him to do?"
"Oh, I remembered, you seem to be studying under that old Confucian scholar. Last time, Gong Nanbei came forward to save you." Tang Zhou suddenly realized.
"Do you know his background?" Cui Yu looked at Tang Zhou opposite.
"Mencius' direct disciple, unfortunately, betrayed Mencius, but he never walked out of his own way." Tang Zhou said casually.
"I didn't just study and become literate with the old Confucian scholar, but also officially became a disciple." Cui Yu replied.
Tang Zhou's expression paused, and he looked at Cui Yu with a pair of eyes full of disbelief: "What? What did you say? Who gave you the ecstasy soup, and you actually went to the old sour scholar to accept the deception?"
Cui Yu raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this: "Although he is an old scholar, he is an old scholar with bright spots and a real scholar."
"You have been deceived." Tang Zhou said angrily: "Tomorrow you come to my house, and I will invite the most famous Confucian scholar in the world to give a lecture for you. There is no future for following the old Confucian students. That old man The sour scholar doesn't care about the bright future, but insists on taking the thorny path and learning from him, I think your mind is filled with water."
Regarding Tang Zhou's evaluation, Cui Yu was noncommittal.
People living in this world must always have something to pursue.
Cui Yu shook his head: "I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter? I won't do anything that's not beneficial! Even now we have two points of friendship, but friendship is friendship, and interests are interests." Tang Zhou said cautiously, fearing that he would suffer a loss: "Brothers, I understand Settle accounts.”
But after saying this, he seemed to have remembered something, and his eyes suddenly changed. He looked at Cui Yu: "You asked me to help you publish a book for that old Confucian scholar, right? Don't even think about it! I I won’t agree! The Confucian holy temple is a huge thing, and even the leader of the Dayu Kingdom can’t openly offend him.”
"No matter how big the benefit is, it's not worth offending a sub-sage!" Tang Zhou looked nervous and stared at Cui Yu: "Tell me, is it about publishing a book? I've heard that these days Well, Gong Nanbei was in trouble. Especially the Gongyang Academy, which kept secretly exerting pressure to trip up Gong Nanbei, but Gong Nanbei suffered a lot."
"Are you afraid of a sub-sage? Are you afraid of Mencius?" Cui Yu looked at Tang Zhou, his eyes full of scrutiny and provocation.
"Of course I'm not afraid of him, but there's no need to offend him."
"Ya Sheng! That's Ya Sheng! Do you know what Ya Sheng is?" Tang Zhou's expression was exaggerated: "Mencius has disciples all over the world, and they will never be less than Taiping Dao. I advise you to give up this idea and never commit suicide. Asking for trouble."
Cui Yu smiled, of course he knew.
"I don't think you know!" Seeing Cui Yu's disapproving expression, Tang Zhou's voice began to rise:
"Do you know what Ya Sheng represents? Ya Sheng's orthodoxy is not limited to one country, but covers eight hundred vassal states. Except for the Lord of the Great Zhou Kingdom, no one can shake the power of Ya Sheng! Even the Great Zhou Kingdom Lord, you must be courteous when facing Ya Sheng." Tang Zhou was a little frightened by Cui Yu.
Why are old Confucian scholars so miserable?
For Confucianism, which values the most orthodoxy, there is no greater thing in the world than a person who betrays his teacher.
In particular, Meng Shengren was really good to the old Confucian scholar, and even trained him to be his successor and the seed of the Taoist tradition in the future. The betrayal of the old Confucian scholar was a great shame and humiliation for the entire Taoist lineage of Meng Shengren.
Confucian scholars all over the world also spit on it.
"Of course I dare not ask you to risk the world and publish a book for an old Confucian scholar." Cui Yu said with a smile: "But I want to ask you to do something for me."
"What's the matter?" Tang Zhou blinked.
"I want to buy the advertising rights for all the restaurants, carriages and horses, vendors, footmen, carrying poles, and hanging barrels in the entire Daliang City." Cui Yu said with a bright smile.
He was really moved by the spirit of the old Confucian scholar!
As for the disciple questioning the teacher? Cui Yu didn't think there was anything deviant, but he felt that this spirit of not being 'superstitious' about authority was worthy of admiration.
Since he wanted to help the old Taoist priest, he had to find another way.
As for returns?
Just look at the weird expression on the old Confucian scholar's face, and you will know how great this old guy is.
If Cui Yu can help him solve this matter, will the old Confucian scholar be able to forget him in the future?
This kind of great kindness is enough for the old Confucian scholar to repay him for a lifetime.
"Advertising rights? What is that?" Tang Zhou and Wu Guang were both stunned and looked at Cui Yu.
He was full of curiosity about the strange and weird ideas Cui Yu came up with.
"What about the so-called advertising rights... For example, if a toilet is carried by a village woman, it is just a toilet. But I can give the other party a sum of money and ask the other party to print a sentence on the toilet, and the agreed time cannot be revoked. , change. In this way, when others see the toilet, they can see that sentence, and the owner of the toilet can also receive an extra fee. Why not get the best of both worlds?" Cui Yu explained to the two with a smile. :
"Not only toilets, but also the carrying poles of peddlers and footmen, the woven baskets, the racks of carriages and horses, and even the pots and pans in restaurants can all be printed with what I want to say. Think about it, when the customers finish eating Rice, can the other party see what I want to say after the plate reaches the bottom?"
"In this way, the message I want to convey has been seen by everyone, and those traffickers and lackeys have gained an extra income out of thin air to improve their families." Cui Yu was somewhat proud.
Hearing this, Tang Zhou was immediately shocked, his eyes glowing green: "Cui Yu, how did you come up with such an earth-shattering idea?"
If Taipingdao uses this method to auction advertising rights across the country after the founding of the country, there should be no shortage of tax revenue, right?
"I'll naturally think of it if I use my brain a lot." Cui Yu smiled proudly: "Unfortunately, this method also has drawbacks. The people in this world are illiterate. I printed the classics of the old Confucian scholars on it just for the readers of the world. Others. If the industry wants to advertise, it will only be doomed to fail.”
"What do you think of not publishing a book directly, but buying advertising rights? Can you handle this pressure?" Cui Yu looked at Tang Zhou: "If you can't force it, don't bother. I'll figure it out myself." ”
Cui Yu was also a little worried that Tang Zhou would not be able to withstand the pressure.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Tang Zhou laughed proudly when he heard this: "I can't bear the pressure, but as long as we do it secretly and don't let people know that we did it, isn't it okay? And we can't find them to buy advertising. Isn’t it appropriate to be a person?”
Tang Zhou looked at Cui Yu: "You don't really think that Taiping Dao only has this little power on the surface, do you? Although Daliang City is now controlled by Tang Chen, I, Taiping Dao, have the final say whether Daliang City is in chaos or not. "
"If you have difficulties, don't force it. If I do it, it may be a little slower, but the effect will not be bad." Cui Yu looked at Tang Zhou, his voice full of ridicule: "Taiping Taoism has a great cause, but we can't put it down You’re involved.”
"You have to remember that Daliang City is my territory of Taiping Dao." Tang Zhou said with a smile: "The Academy has reached out and asked for my opinion."
Speaking of this, Tang Zhou said: "But if you want to buy all the advertising rights, you need a lot of money and food. For the people, gold and silver are just cold things, and money and food are life-saving things. Especially now that there is a severe drought, food is even more important. The shortage is very severe. Not only is there a shortage of food in Daliang City, but also the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. If you have enough food, this matter will definitely be done."
At this point, Tang Zhou looked at Cui Yu, his eyes full of expectation. Not only can you make a lot of money and food, but you can also see how Cui Yu operates. This wave is simply perfect.
"Hahaha, what I don't lack most is money and food."
Cui Yu looked at Tang Zhou: "I have a strategy. You send people to set up a stall outside to lobby all walks of life in the city. For every day of advertising, come and distribute money and food for a day. The only worrying thing is that , will those academicians come to cause trouble?"
"You are thinking too much." Tang Zhou shook his head: "In the face of life and death, can the Academy control those people? Those people are about to starve to death, so how can they control the Academy's orders? Besides, the Academy is not lawless. There is still a big week pressing on us.”
"Da Zhou hasn't fallen yet! No one in the world wants to give Da Zhou a chance to attack now." Tang Zhou said with a smile.
"Where is Tang Chen?" Cui Yu asked.
"Daliang City was conquered by me, Taiping Dao." Tang Zhou just said lightly.
A simple sentence already conveys enough information.
"That's it, it's settled!" Cui Yu smiled, then stood up and left.
Looking at Cui Yu's retreating back, Tang Zhou was in a daze: "It's really unbelievable. What on earth is he thinking and what is in his mind."
"I told you before that he is a wonderful man. Do you believe it now?" A figure jumped out of the wall of the next door. Who is it if it's not Zhihu?
"He is indeed a wonderful man." Tang Zhou nodded: "Even if you beat me to death, I will never come up with such a way to break the situation. I really want to open his head and see what is inside his head. What."
"You said before that no matter what conditions Cui Yu proposed, we would unconditionally agree to him. Do you regret this condition now?" Tang Zhou looked at Zhihu.
"Regret? Regret is not necessary. Confucianism is probably going to be in chaos. With the help of old Confucian scholars, I can instigate Confucianism to turn against each other and cause civil strife. By then, I, Dazhou, will be able to reduce a lot of pressure." Zhihu said with a smile.
"What should we do about Tang Chen? He is in Daliang City and is a problem." Tang Zhou looked at Zhihu and kicked the ball to the opponent.
"I will take care of it with Tang Chen. I will even use Tang Chen's words to spread the word. The old Confucian scholar is about to become a Taoist and wants to submit to my great Zhou court. Let's help push it. If the old Confucian scholar becomes a Taoist, then the yellow mud will fall on the ground. In the crotch, he will definitely be rejected by the Confucian scholars in the world and fall to my camp of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is a wonderful plan to use the old Confucian scholars to contain the Confucian saints."
Cui Yu bid farewell to Tang Zhou, and then came to a barren mountain outside Daliang City. The Qiankun Bag was directly sacrificed, and he saw that the Qiankun Bag grew longer in the wind, and in an instant it became several feet in size, covering a mountain top, and then only the Qiankun Bag was seen. The mountain gravel was directly loaded into it.
"You silly roe deer, why are you pretending to be gravel?" Xin Yuan's eyes were full of confusion.
Cui Yu smiled: "These gravels can be turned into food."
"Turn gravel into food?" Xin Yuan was stunned: "Can your divine power withstand the consumption?"
Cui Yu smiled and said nothing when he heard this, and directly collected enough gravel from the mountain before stopping.
"I think Tang Zhou is using you. He seems to have other motives." Xin Yuan looked at Cui Yu and reminded him.
"I know." Cui Yu said casually.
"You know? How do you know?" Xin Yuan was stunned.
"Because Tang Zhou didn't discuss bargaining chips with me!" Cui Yu said.
