    When Ding Yunyi accompanied Zhang Pu to Taiwan, he felt a little uneasy.

    The time left for Qin Yun is too short. I don¡¯t know if he can meet his requirements.

    When I got off the boat, I found that Qin Yun did not follow his request and led a large number of subordinates to greet Zhang Pu. I felt a little strange.

    "This is Golden Eagle City." Ding Yunyi introduced.

    "So majestic and heroic!" Zhang Pu was full of praise when he saw it.

    As soon as he entered the Golden Eagle City, he casually asked where Qin Yun, the gate guard, was. The gate guard hurriedly replied: "Master Qin is supervising the students studying in Taiwan Academy."

    Taiwan Academy?  Where did Taiwan Academy come from?

    The city gate guard winked at Ding Yunyi: "I will lead the way for the deputy town commander."

    After walking for only a short distance, he saw several large and small "academies" popping up on both sides of the nearby road. Ding Yunyi was stunned. Where did they come from?

    Zhang Pu, however, was full of praise: "I didn't expect that the barbaric place mentioned by the deputy town would have such a strong reading atmosphere."

    The city gate guard said: "These are all developed by the deputy town after he arrived in Taiwan. The deputy town said that only studying is the only way out. Everything is inferior, and only studying is high."

    When did you say these words?  It must be Qin Yun's fault, Ding Yunyi thought in his mind.

    Zhang Pu couldn¡¯t help but praise after hearing this: ¡°Okay, okay, Deputy Town Ding, Zhang Pu admires you inexplicably.¡±

    Ding Yunyi muttered a few vague words.

    When he arrived at the "Taiwan Academy", the sound of reading loudly came from inside, and Zhang Pu listened.  But he stayed there.  It turned out that what the child was reading was not the Four Books and Five Classics, but the "Qi Lu Zhai Ji" written by him.

    "This, how can this be done" Zhang Pu also felt a little embarrassed: "Zhang Pu's humble work is actually compared with the book of a saint. It's passed, passed."

    Ding Yunyi then realized that what those students were reading was actually something written by Zhang Pu: "Where. I, a Taiwanese, all know the name of Mr. Xi Ming, and I admire Mr. Xi Ming's articles the most."

    When I looked inside again, I saw the one who was shaking his head and teaching the "students" how to read.  If it's not Qin Yun, who is it?

    Ding Yunyi couldn't laugh or cry. How did Qin Yun come up with this idea?

    Zhang Pu stood outside the door and listened, and also recited his own articles in a low voice along with the students.  When I think about it proudly, I shake my head.  After a while, he let out a long sigh of relief: "It's better not to disturb them."

    Ding Yunyi nodded and took Zhang Pu out of the "Academy".

    As soon as he got outside, he saw a teenage boy sitting on the roadside, eating cold dry food and reading a book. Zhang Pu was amazed that the reading culture in Taiwan has reached such an extent.

    He stepped forward and asked the young man why he was studying here. The young man stood up and said, "My family is poor. Although I, Mr. Ding Yunyi, the deputy mayor of Taiwan, take great care of poor students such as me and can come to study without spending a penny, but my family  I still have a mother to take care of, so I can¡¯t concentrate on my studies, but I can read some books while working so that I won¡¯t accomplish anything in the future.¡±

    "The spirit is commendable, the spirit is commendable." Zhang Pu nodded repeatedly and asked him for the book in his hand.  At first glance, he was even more surprised.

    It turns out that this book was all copied by hand and is part of his "Qi Lu Zhai Collection".

    "Here. Why are you copying by hand?" Zhang Puda was curious.

    The young man replied respectfully: "My family is still poor and I can't afford books, so I can only ask others to borrow them, copy them at night and read them during the day. Unfortunately, I only copied part of them, which is a pity."

    "Ah" Zhang Pu was moved in his heart. He regretted that he didn't have "Qi Lu Zhai Ji" with him, otherwise he could have given him a copy. After thinking about it, he took out a piece of silver and insisted on giving it to the young man.  , let him buy books and some food.

    The young man didn't want to think about it, but said: "I will starve to death without eating the food I picked up. I appreciate the kindness of Mr., but I can't take the money. I have saved some copper coins from working, and I can buy Mr. Ximing's in a few days."  "Qi Lu Zhai Ji".

    "You, why do you like reading Zhang Ximing's articles so much?"

    Zhang Pu's question seemed to make the young man feel very strange: "Mr. Xi Ming is a great scholar in the world. His articles are splendid. Since Master Ding arrived in Taiwan, no one in Taiwan does not know Mr. Xi Ming's name. If I didn't  Reading his books will definitely have no future.¡±

    The joy in Zhang Pu¡¯s heart cannot be expressed in words.

    ¡°The honor I received in Taiwan cannot be exchanged for any amount of money.  The person he was more grateful to was Ding Yunyi. Without Ding Yunyi's high praise for him and publicizing it everywhere, how could he be so famous in Taiwan?

    EncouragementAfter the young man said a few words, Zhang Pu left with a sigh.  Suddenly I saw a group of people gathered in front of a stall, seemingly rushing to buy something.

    Zhang Pu walked over and only heard a voice coming from the stall: "Mr. Zhang Ximing's calligraphy, not much left, not much left, the real calligraphy of Mr. Zhang Ximing!"

    "Five taels, I want this fan, I'll give you five taels!"

    "Twelve taels! This fan belongs to me!"

    "Brother Ma, how can you fight with me?"

    "Brother Zhao, please forgive me for not giving in to Mr. Ximing's calligraphy."

    There was a loud quarrel among the customers outside the stall.

    Ding Yunyi almost laughed out loud when he saw those guests. They were all his subordinates.  Then "Brother Ma" and "Brother Zhao", who are they if they are not Zhang Xianxuan and Cai Jiuzhou?  And that hawker was actually Xie Xuan pretending to be there.

    Ding Yunyi's face darkened: "It's unreasonable to sell counterfeit Mr.'s calligraphy treasures here and ruin your reputation. I will send someone to arrest him right now."

    "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Zhang Pu was in a good mood and didn't care at all: "For them to be so fake is because they love me wrongly. Deputy Town, these small businessmen have a hard life, and it is understandable to do such a thing."

    He was originally a proud man. If he had heard someone impersonating his calligraphy treasure before, he would have been furious.  But since arriving in Taiwan, what he has seen and heard all reflects his status. Even his paintings and calligraphy have been counterfeited and sold for such a high price. In a happy mood, instead of blaming the hawker, he even helped him  Asked for love.

    "Get out of the way. Get out of the way!"

    Ding Yunyi asked people to separate the crowd and invited Zhang Pu to the stall.

    Zhang Pu picked up a painting he said he had painted, and saw that the imitation was not like his own at all. Even his handwriting was completely different. He couldn't help but feel funny. After all, Taiwan is a barbaric land. Although Ding Yunyi vigorously promoted reading after he came,  wind.  But in the end, my knowledge was so little that even a fake made so crudely could be sold at a high price.

    Look at those fans again.  The banners are all equally rough.

    "How much money does this painting cost?" Zhang Pu asked deliberately.

    "This one? That's incredible." "Vendor" Xie Xuanshen said mysteriously: "Do you know how this painting came about? It was a relative of mine who begged for three days and three nights at the door of Zhang Pu and Zhang Ximing's house.  At night. Mr. Ximing just admired this painting. If my man was not in a hurry to use the money and entrusted me to sell it, who would be willing to sell such a precious thing? Sir, I see you are also a scholar. If you really like it?  For this painting, take away thirty taels of silver."

    "It's expensive, it's expensive." Zhang Pu smiled slightly and said, "Although Zhang Ximing is somewhat famous, a painting costs thirty taels of silver, which is a bit expensive."

    These words immediately caused dissatisfaction among the people around him.

    Zhang Xianxuan was the first to say: "What do you know? Do you know who Mr. Xi Ming is? He is a great talent. A contemporary saint. One of his paintings was bought for thirty taels of silver and then sold for a hundred taels."  You don¡¯t want it, I want it!¡±

    The four words "contemporary saint" made Zhang Pu feel elated.  Although his status in the minds of scholars is high.  But no one has ever called him that.

    He smiled and said: "I have also learned calligraphy for a few days. I see that the fan in your hand is still blank. How about I help you write a few words?"

    "You?" Zhang Xianxuan looked disdainful: "If Mr. Ximing is still the same, forget it and don't stain my fan."

    Zhang Pu laughed: "How about this? If what I write is not good, how about I compensate you one hundred taels of silver?"

    "real?"

    "Seriously!"

    Zhang Xianxuan then handed the fan to Zhang Pu "half-confidently", and Zhang Pu asked someone to find pen and ink, and wrote on the fan: "The responsibility of an individual is more important than the state of the country."

    Then he put down the fan and asked the disciple to bring his private seal and stamp it on the signature place.

    Zhang Xianxuan took the fan and said: "The duty of a man is more important than the state of the country Well, the writing is pretty good, but what is on this chapter? Taicang Ximing? Taicang Ximing!"

    With a cry of surprise, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Pu as if he didn't believe it: "You, are you Mr. Ximing?"

    Seeing Zhang Pu smiling and nodding, those people woke up from a dream and shouted "Mr. Ximing is here" and "Mr. Ximing has arrived in Taiwan"!

    "Hawker" Xie Xuan even had a "face as pale as dirt" and accused him repeatedly.  Not long after, countless people had gathered around, completely surrounding Zhang Pu and his party

    ?¡­

    Zhang Pu stayed in Taiwan for two days. Everywhere he went, he felt the "love" of Taiwanese people for him.

    "Everyone in the city is talking about Zhang Ximing".

    ??He never dreamed that he would encounter such warm hospitality in remote Taiwan.  If he hadn't been concerned about other things in the capital, I'm afraid Zhang Pu would have continued to stay in Taiwan.

    When I left, I was really reluctant to leave.

    Ding Yunyi repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but when he saw that he couldn't, he saw him off personally.

    Zhang Puda sighed with emotion: "The popularity of reading in Taiwan is so great that it is hard to believe. I have been to many places, and if you look at it, there is nothing like it in Taiwan. This is all the result of Deputy Town Ding."

    "What did Mr. Ximing say?" Ding Yunyi said politely: "If it weren't for Mr. Ximing's name, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this."

    At this time, Zhang Pu saw several boxes of silver being loaded onto the ship. Zhang Pu sighed: "How can I let Deputy Town Ding spend money?"

    "This is what I promised to build Jiangnan Academy for Mr. Ximing." Ding Yunyi smiled: "What's more, a fake calligraphy and painting of Mr. Ximing can be sold for thirty taels of silver. Mr. Ximing came to Taiwan this time and left  After buying so much calligraphy treasure, isn¡¯t it worth a mere fifty thousand taels of silver?¡±

    Zhang Pu laughed "haha" and thought what Ding Yunyi said was interesting.

    At this time, a subordinate came to Ding Yunyi's side. It was not loud, but it was loud enough for Zhang Pu to hear and said: "Deputy Town, I heard some rumors that Zhang Kentang and Zhang Fushuai were very dissatisfied with the Deputy Town for some reason.  , said that the deputy town was stationed in Taiwan, and he did not think about how to strengthen the defense force, but he only did some studying. Putting the cart before the horse, he wanted to study for the deputy town. "

    Ding Yunyi's face darkened: "I know, let's talk about it after we get back"

    "Why does the deputy town need to hide it from me?" Zhang Pu sneered: "Is studying putting the cart before the horse? Where does that put the scholars in the world? Huh, it's just that he doesn't respect the scholars himself. Doesn't he look at Taiwan like this?  Are you jealous? He wants to meddle with you? If the court really punishes the deputy town, I will bring all the scholars in the world to meddle with him!"

    "How can Mr. Ximing worry about Yun Yi's affairs? Make Mr. Ximing fall out with Fushuai? No, no!" Ding Yunyi said hurriedly, and then sighed: "I think there is always something wrong with what Yun Yi does.  This made Fushuai angry. Forget it, forget it, I'll just let him have it."

    "Give? Where to yield? If the deputy town gives in again, he will fall into the sea!" Zhang Pu said with a cold face: "I will naturally handle my affairs, deputy town, it is not easy for Taiwan to be in today's situation.  You must hold on, I thank you on behalf of all the scholars in the world!¡±

    As he said that, he actually gave Ding Yunyi a deep bow.

    Ding Yunyi hurriedly returned the greeting: "Mr. Ximing has killed Yun Yi. Mr. Ximing is going to the capital. It is a long way. Please take care of yourself. I have sent several soldiers to escort you all the way. Duan San, you must also be careful."  Hou.¡±

    "Yes, sir."

    Ding Yunyi was full of reluctance: "We say goodbye this time. I don't know when I will be able to see you again and listen to your teachings. If you are free, please come to Taiwan again. I would like to extend my warm welcome to all the people in Taiwan."

    "This Fujian delegation did not expect to get acquainted with such a person as the Vice-President." Zhang Pu was also very reluctant to give up: "On the day when Jiangnan Academy is completed, I will definitely come and invite the Vice-President to be present! Farewell!"

    "Sir, please!"

    After sending Zhang Pu to the boat, Ding Yunyi let out a long breath as he watched the boat gradually disappear from sight: "Finally, I sent him off. In the past two days, we have acted like we are serious. By the way, this time we  How much money did it cost?¡±

    "Fifty-three thousand taels." Qin Yun blurted out.

    "What? Fifty-three thousand taels?" Ding Yunyi almost jumped out of his skin when he heard this amount.

    Qin Yun said calmly: "Your third brother is very generous. He gave away fifty thousand taels of silver in one gift. We don't count the money you spent to go to Quanzhou and invite Zhang Pu to Taiwan. How can we arrange those academies and invite so many people?"  Don¡¯t you need money to act? Third brother, you can create such a scene in one day and one night. If you don¡¯t receive a huge reward, you must be brave, but you definitely can¡¯t do it.¡±

    Ding Yunyi had no choice but to laugh bitterly and laugh at himself:

    "It doesn't matter. Tens of thousands of taels of silver can win Zhang Pu's heart. Winning Zhang Pu's heart is equivalent to winning the hearts of the world's scholars. Tens of thousands of taels of silver can buy the support of the world's scholars. It's worth it!"  (This siteyour support is my greatest motivation.)
