Dong Zhongren bowed his hands and bowed to Ning Changrong.

Ning Changrong looked at the solemnity in his eyes and understood that he was not paying tribute to himself, but bowing to the people of the world.

He knew very well that he could not deserve such a solemn bow from the other party.

He sat on the desk and asked, pretending not to know, "Mr. Dong, what does this mean?"

Dong Zhongren breathed a long sigh of relief, "I have never seen such a grand scene in most of my life as an official. Even Nanchen in its heyday was not so prosperous. I never thought that I would see such a scene in a den of thieves at the end of the dynasty. I am really ashamed of the sight of the peach garden.”

Ning Changrong raised his eyebrows, not caring that the other party said their place was a den of thieves.

"I have asked them about it, and I heard that you are responsible for the management of this place. You are indispensable for the people to have such a life." Dong Zhongren looked at the people in front of him with a complex expression, "I was just bowing to you on behalf of the people of the world. , if Nanchen had a minister like you, why would this happen?"

Ning Changrong sneered and shook his head, as if laughing at Dong Zhongren's wishful thinking.

"Mr. Dong, you know better than me why Nanchen has reached this point. It is not the result of one person's temporary efforts. Furthermore, you cannot replace the people of the world, and the people do not need it. Who will replace them?"

"I believe that the Nanchen court is full of talented people. This talent is nothing in the court, but why is it still here today?"

Ning Changrong stood up suddenly, put his hands on the table, and stared directly at Dong Zhongren, "This is the general trend of the world! This is the will of the people! Historical changes that cannot be changed by personal manpower!"

Dong Zhongren was frightened by the other party's momentum and took two steps back. After regaining consciousness, he laughed at himself, "Yes, yes... this is the general trend, this is what the people want. Nan Chen has lost the people's support and the general trend. It is time to change the dynasty." when."

The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.

"So Mr. Dong came to see me today just to say these things, right?" Ning Changrong returned to his seat, picked up the tea in front of him, and took a sip.

Hearing this, Dong Zhongren retracted the emotion in his eyes and said with some difficulty, "I know you kidnapped me here because you want me to teach others how to read. I agreed, but I will never do anything for you."

It's Dong Zhongren's turn to choose whether to do anything in their bowl, huh, it's just a matter of time.

He believed that the longer Dong Zhongren stayed, the more he would recognize their ideas. Then there was no need to say whether he would do things for them by then?I'm afraid that if he doesn't let the other party do things, the other party will rush to do the work.

Seeing that the other party was not a stubborn old man, Ning Changrong decided to have a better attitude.

"Mr. Dong, don't worry, we won't force anyone." Things have to be done step by step. If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, what does it prove that a great scholar like Dong Zhongren came to teach in their territory?It proves that Chang Yuan is also recognized by the great Confucians!
No matter whether Dong Zhongren thinks so or not, and no matter what the people in the world think, Dong Zhongren came to them to teach for them, which is to do things for them and to recognize them.

If it spreads to the world, it will shake the hearts of at least some scholars. There are many scholars who pursue the aristocratic family, but there are also many scholars who recognize Dong Zhongren.

It might be more convenient to kidnap people in the future.

Ning Changrong laughed loudly and stood up from the stool, walked out from behind the table and walked into Dong Zhongren, "It would be great if Mr. Dong has thought about it carefully. Mr. Dong, don't worry, the treatment promised to you will not change."

Dong Zhongren shook his head and waved his hands, "The children in my family have hands and feet. I see there are many jobs in the city that they can help with. I can still do it. I don't need so much money. If you have any extra, you can donate it to The orphanage in the city."

"I know that there is an orphanage in your city. I only take five taels of silver every month to support the family, and all the excess is sent to the orphanage." It can be regarded as atonement for oneself.

After serving as an official all his life, he looked back and found that he had never done anything practical for the people. He was really ashamed of his reputation and was no better than a bandit who didn't even have the reputation of being a scholar.

Since the money was given to the other party, it would be up to the other party to spend it as much as he could. Ning Changrong agreed one by one. …

General Chang Yuan's Mansion.

"How is it? How is the school building?" Chang Yuan put down the official document in his hand and asked.

Ning Changrong sat aside and reported the progress of the matter, "The school was built very quickly. It is almost completed now and will be put into use in half a month." Most of the craftsmen who built the school were building roads. Skilled workers can use it as soon as it comes.

Chang Yuan smiled when he heard this, "I heard that you also kidnapped Dong Zhongren?"

"Did all this reach the general's ears?" Ning Changrong smiled sheepishly, "They are also people under his command, and they just happened to be brought here by chance. We were invited with real money."

What to tie?Could it be that all that money was spent in vain? Who kidnapped people and gave them back the money?Ning Changrong didn't recognize this.

"You, you," Chang Yuan pointed at Ning Changrong in a funny way, "Where is that person? How are you handling it now? As far as I know, Dong Zhongren is a real celebrity. I'm afraid he won't do things for us easily, right?" I mean, Dong Zhongren is not one of those scholars who is blind to money.

Ning Changrong smiled proudly, "General, everyone has their own weaknesses. The weaknesses of ordinary people are gold and silver, wealth, and reputation. Dong Zhongren's weaknesses are knowledge and conscience."

"Knowledge and conscience?" Chang Yuan asked.

"That's right." Ning Changrong told how he persuaded Dong Zhongren.

Chang Yuan was silent for a long time after hearing this. He looked at Ning Changrong seriously and said in a somewhat surprised tone, "I didn't expect Mr. Ning to be so eloquent. In the future, Mr. Ning should be sent to persuade people to surrender in wars."

Before Ning Changrong could retort, Chang Yuan shook his head again and said with a smile, "No, Mr. Ning's talents should not be put on the battlefield. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If Mr. Ning is injured, Yuan will be reluctant to part with him."

The two laughed and chatted for a while before Ning Changrong left.

Looking at the other party's back, Chang Yuan murmured: "Everyone has weaknesses, so Mr. Ning's weakness is his family. What about me?"

……

"Oops!" Ning Qingxi rubbed his nose and was knocked to the ground.

I was walking in a hurry just now, and suddenly I jumped out of a fork and bumped into someone else.

Resisting the urge to cry, I looked up and saw an old man.

She saw the other party looking at her eagerly, "Little girl, are you okay? It's all because I was thinking about something just now and didn't see anyone coming out."

Ning Qingxi sat up from the ground with his hands stretched out and patted his butt.

The other party seemed a little surprised that the girl behaved like this, but he didn't say anything. He just kept asking her worriedly if there was anything wrong.

She shook her head and said she was fine. It was Ning Qingxi who suddenly jumped out of the fork because he was anxious to get home. She was fully responsible.
