Chapter 11

Seeing the visitors, Li Yan understood why Cheng Chubi, Fang Yi'ai and the noble children left here because their master's teacher Kong Yingda appeared.

That's an amazing thing.

Confucian scholar Kong Yingda, one of the eighteen scholars of the Tang Dynasty, is now the Prince Taishi, the 31st descendant of Confucius.

It was said just now that Li was equal to Confucius and Mencius, and now the 31st descendant of Confucius has appeared.

People are curious, what happened to these noble children?
Why are they all gone?Someone gave money, but Shi did not take it.

Little do they know that Kong Yingda, as the prince and the master, is even closer to Li Shimin's existence.

If he finds out that they bought poems and tells the Master directly, it will be difficult for him in the future.

As soon as they left, these literati were even happier. No one was competing, so they squeezed in.

"Sir, they're gone, why don't you write for us first!"

"Yeah, sir, I want two! Can you give me a discount?"

……

Those who have no money directly stare at the text on the desktop and silently memorize it. Now is a good opportunity to learn.

People's focus is on Li Min, but they don't care about Kong Yingda's appearance at all.

Until someone found him and came over.

No one recognized him.

"Isn't that the great scholar Kong Yingda? How did he come?"

"It is said that he is the prince and the master. If he can be the prince's teacher, he is definitely a master."

"What's he doing here? He's not buying poetry, is he?"

These literati did not know that the prince Li Chengqian could not stand being tossed by him.

Because he likes obedient students.

But Li Chengqian is not.

Whenever there is anything that doesn't suit him, he will go directly to Li Shimin to complain.

The so-called strict teacher produces high-level apprentices, but this is not the case here in Li Chengqian.

In the end, he broke his back, much to the disappointment of Li Shimin.

This is something.

Everyone was surprised by his arrival.

Do scholars also like to join in the fun?Want to buy one too?
Or, he has no air and likes to have fun with the people?

Everyone guessed.

At the same time, he watched him walk towards Li Min.

Everyone made way.

They stopped talking.

After all, he is special.

Li Min also discovered him. He had met with Kong Yingda several times, but that was a year ago. Later, he lived in the palace and rarely showed up, so he rarely met with Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda may not recognize herself.

Now that he's grown up a bit, and he's easy to change.

Kong Yingda couldn't even recognize him.

"The world's poetry, who else is mine? Five words and seven laws, charging by word?"

"Young man, you are a little frivolous! You dare to say such things."

Obviously, Kong Yingda looked down on what Li Min did.

"Old man, what do I have to do with you by selling money with words?"

"The literati have always been lofty, how can they use patina to write essays? And no matter how I can be regarded as a bachelor appointed by Your Majesty, how can I be so rude!"

"I do! You can't control it!"

"Hey, Maotou child, you are so snobbish, where will the Tang Dynasty go in the future? The Tang Dynasty will let you all lose!"

Kong Yingda said it in a teaching tone.

It was very unpleasant to hear.

Sure enough, there was still resistance from the literati.

"Scholar Confucius, this is a good word. I think the poems written by Mr. are unique, and the artistic conception of the works is far away! If you read it ten times, you will have different feelings, and it is not his intention to sell your words for money. If you have to, who will do it? This kind of thing? What's wrong with raising people with poetry?"

"I think Mr. set an example for us literati, and in the future, no one with talent will starve to death."

"Yeah, Master Kong, don't preach, no one is easy. Your status is so high now, you know that there are still many people who are still hungry and have no money to spend."

"There are problems in life, where is there time to dance and write? It's better to farm!"

……

Kong Yingda was astonished, no matter what, he was also a person with a head and face.

When I questioned the posthumous students, I was even scolded by the common people and literati.

This made his face a little embarrassed.

"Then I want to see how you write poems and sell them for money. I want ten!"

This is clearly going to make trouble.

Li Min thought to himself, ten songs?Then use eight sentences and seven rules, so that you can make more money.

So, he said, "Okay, pay five taels of silver first!"

Five taels of silver is equivalent to five taels of money.

What kind of poetry is so expensive, and it costs fifty taels for ten?

Kong Yingda was puzzled and a little regretful, why didn't he ask the price first.

"Five taels? Why don't you go grab it?"

"Robbery? No, no, no, that's a crime. You can ask the people here, is there anything wrong with my charges?"

Li Min asked the question.

Many literati are on his side.

Someone did the math and said, "Sir, I've given you a bargain. Originally, a poem with seven rules and eight lines would cost 560 wen, and ten poems would cost at least 5600 wen, which is 600 wen less than yours."

"No, don't be ashamed, if you think it's too expensive, please let it go, we want to buy it!"

"Yes, if it's not because you are an old man, you have to queue up!"

In this way, Kong Yingda is making trouble unreasonably.

Public opinion has never been like this, and Kong Yingda has never encountered such a situation.

He was respected wherever he went, but it's different here today.Because of this boy?
The most unbearable thing is that Li Min added: "It doesn't matter, if you can't afford it, I won't force it. You let the people behind you buy it first."

This is simply an insult to Kong Yingda.

He said it out, if he said he couldn't afford it, he would inevitably lead to people's contempt.

In Chang'an City, there is even such a legend.

The prince and grand teacher have no money to buy poems, but they deliberately make things difficult for the 14-year-old boy.It's ridiculous!
"Joke, I buy it!"

After finishing, he took out five taels of silver from his arms and put it on the table.

Li Min was welcome and went to get it directly.

"and many more!"

Kong Yingda shouted.

"how?"

What the hell is this old man going to do?

"If you haven't done it yet, you have to take the money into your arms. What is this? Are you afraid that I will go back on it?"

He felt that this was an insult to him, and there was no precedent for collecting money before trading!
"You think too much, this is my rule of thumb."

"If I'm not satisfied, can I go back?"

What are you kidding me, the money has come, and you want to get it back?

What do you think I am Li Min?
I won't give you a chance to retire either.

After all, the poems copied are ancient masterpieces.

But he also said: "Make no return! Because you will be satisfied!"

This is very full of words.

Kong Yingda smiled.

"Well, I'd like to see what kind of poetry you can make."

Then, Li Min raised his head, and Kong Yingda couldn't help but glance.

He was startled.

"Boy, I see your face is very familiar."

Everyone was shocked, and not many people could make Kong Yingda familiar.

What kind of existence is this person they call Mr. in front of him?
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Min.

I want to know how he responds.

At this time, Li Min spoke up.
