Mr. Tian argued: "I finally understood the meaning of Mozi's words in the book, 'The wisdom of ghosts and gods compared to saints is like comparing a sharp-eyed person to a deaf-blind person.' Yes, if we compare the wisdom of ghosts and gods with saints, it is like comparing a sharp-eyed person with a deaf-blind person. Rather than "following the ancient kings", it is better to respect ghosts and gods. Only by respecting ghosts and gods and obeying their rewards for good and punishment for evil can we purify ourselves."

At this point, Tian Langjun bowed to Yuan Ruan devoutly again: "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. Only then can I punish the bad guys, cleanse myself from evil, and purify myself."

Yuan Ruan was stunned when he saw the other party's pious look.

——Wait a minute, how did the other party's enlightenment turn into listening to gods and ghosts? Is he starting to believe in superstition? !

She pointed out that Yuan's mother was the instigator, just to tell the other party that there is no bad luck in you, and you should not be swayed by superstition.

Yuan Ruan couldn't help but said, "It has nothing to do with me. You are not a disaster star, it's your biological mother who did it."

Tian Langjun replied very gently: "But if the national master hadn't told me, I would have suffered a lot in my life. It was the national master who saw me, told me to punish the evil, and saved me. I will only believe in the national master in my life!"

Yuansoft: ...

Yuanruan: [What the hell is believing in me? Help! I remember that Mo Jia was a master of science and engineering. I thought he had an epiphany and how to teach bad guys a lesson, but it turned out that he had an epiphany about how to serve ghosts and gods?! How can he be so superstitious. ]

System: [Mozi has always been fascinated by ghosts and gods! He even criticized the Confucianism for not respecting ghosts and gods. Haha, Tian Langjun is now Ah Ruan's substitute sword bearer among the people. He usually doesn't move, but only listens to your instructions and hits wherever you point! ]

Yuanruan got goosebumps from this chuunibyou adjective, and couldn't help but say: [Not really. He beat others up because of revenge.]

System: [He can see that you want to fight! ]

Yuanruan choked, it was funny, she seemed to... did say something casually, something about beating someone up.

Yuan said weakly: [What if he slapped me twice? I didn't let him hit me! ]

System: [He saw how distant you were after he beat someone up, so in order to make sure you wouldn't feel strange, he gave himself two slaps in the face so you wouldn't be afraid.]

Yuanruan: [……]Try to take a deep breath.

System: [Aruan is excellent, and has gained another believer. Awesome! ]

Yuansoft: ...

She took a deep breath and tried to persuade the other party, saying: "It's useless to worship me. I can't give you anything. It's better to be independent and strong."

Tian Langjun was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he immediately bowed and said, "Master Imperial Master, you have misunderstood me."

After that, he said to the one-eyed butler beside him, "Quick, go get the house deed and the keys to the account office. We in the Xia Mo clan respect ghosts and gods, and we are definitely not like some sects that only know how to beg for money. Master State Master, I am willing to offer my whole family as a tribute!"

The one-eyed shopkeeper obviously agreed with Mr. Tian's words and shouted loudly, "Bring them all here right now!"

Yuanruan was shocked by the ancient version of "I will support you!" and failed to react immediately.

Just at this moment, the prince suddenly took a step forward, and he staggered forward a little, as if he had been kicked by the emperor.

The prince said, "No need. Jiu... ahem. We will provide for you."

Qi Yue also stepped forward, picked up Yuan Ruan, and glanced at Tian Langjun, as if to say, "Don't get involved."

Prime Minister Li also stood up and stood in front of Yuan Ruan, saying with a smile: "National Master, the whole country should provide for you. You'd better keep your little money to fill your stomach." I don't need your little money.

Yuansoft: ...

Wait, why did it suddenly roll up?

Yuan Ruan stretched out his hand, raised his head with great effort, and said loudly: "No need to offer sacrifices! Don't be self-deprecating, use the money to run a good school!"

In a hurry, Yuanruan actually finished the sentence without stuttering.

The Emperor and his party: ...

Mr. Tian was startled, and coughed lightly with embarrassment, and whispered: "As expected of you, you are the national teacher. You can even figure out the inferiority complex of a commoner."

After a pause, he suddenly revealed a bright smile, raised his hands, bowed deeply and said: "I will obey the order of the Imperial Master. I will definitely open a good school."

Yuanruan felt much better when he saw that the topic was changed and that he was about to get ten points.

She reached out and patted the other person: "I wish you to become the most amazing teacher in Daxia, and have many students all over the world."

Mr. Tian immediately knelt on his knees again.

As he knelt down, Yuanruan's chubby little hand slapped the other's cheek. Yuanruan was startled and almost blurted out "I'm sorry". Unexpectedly, Tian Langjun lowered his head even lower, allowing Yuanruan's little hand to gently stroke his head.

It was like a scene of "a little fairy touching my head".

Mr. Tian said with a pious expression: "I kneel down to thank the Imperial Master for his blessing. This favor is as heavy as a mountain. I will do my best to serve you..."

"Cough, cough!" Yuan Ruan looked at the other party and began to swear endlessly, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

Qi Yue could see that Yuan Ruan was feeling uncomfortable all over.

He picked up Yuanruan, let her face lean against his chest, and said decisively: "Let's go back."

Then he held Yuanruan in his arms, performed an impeccable salute to the emperor and the prince, and turned and left.

The emperor paused for a moment, then gave the prince a look and strode away.

Prime Minister Li looked back and also took his son away.

At this time, a group of soldiers rushed in and carried away the students who were still lying on the ground one by one. Anyone who resisted, no matter who they shouted out, would be knocked unconscious and dragged away.

Soon, Kongxinzhai became quiet again, and only Tian Langjun, the prince, and a one-eyed shopkeeper with his head down were left in the pastry shop.

The prince asked, "Mr. Tian, ​​are you teaching to promote Mohist philosophy? To train knights-errant?"

Tian Langjun was silent for a while, then he clasped his hands and said, "I, the humble teacher, agree with the Mohist philosophy. But I teach only for the common people to learn to read and understand the emperor's will. Only when the people are united can we implement righteous politics, know that everyone is equal, respect and love each other, and thus achieve universal peace..."

The more the prince listened, the more he wanted to leave.

——An idealist who is not in line with the interests of the royal family.

But thinking of his father's calm look before he left, the prince calmed down again.

The prince glanced at Mr. Tian and said, "In this case, I solemnly invite you to become a teacher at the official school."

Tian Langjun frowned slightly, and said with a bow: "My lord, I am ignorant and dare not teach the rich and powerful. I just want to teach the illiterate people to read."

The prince almost blurted out, "Don't be afraid, you have the student bonus buff that the system mentioned."

But fortunately he restrained himself, and the prince said: "They are all civilians."

Mr. Tian was stunned.

The prince said, "After the court announced the imperial examination system, many common people wanted to send their children to school. But many private school teachers refused to accept them as students. Your Majesty specially allocated a piece of land in the East Market to recruit common people as students."

Most of the teachers in private schools were recommended and trained by great nobles, or were born into minor noble families. They were more afraid of commoner students than the great nobles, so many teachers in private schools united and refused to teach.

After hearing this, Tian Langjun bowed his hands and said, "I obey your command."

The prince nodded slightly and wanted to chat a few more words, but when he thought about what the other party had just said about the equality of all people, the prince gave up the idea of ​​chatting.

The prince bought a large pile of pastries from here and just turned around to leave.

Then I saw Yuanruan and Qiyue hurriedly turning back.

The prince was very puzzled.

He walked up to Qi Yue and Yuan Ruan and asked softly, "Seventh sister, ninth sister, is there anything urgent?"

Qi Yue didn't know either, so she just said, "Ninth sister wants to go back to Mr. Tian."

Tian Langjun had already walked up to Yuan Ruan in a warm and sincere tone, "Excuse me, what can I do for you, Imperial Master?"

Yuanruan Nai's purring voice sounded: "Do you have any requirements for the age and gender of your disciples?"

Tian Langjun took a deep look at Yuan Ruan and said firmly, "No."

Prince:......

——Hey, who just said that he was only willing to teach common people?
