Transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yunteng, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is unwilling to accept a tragic fate for himself and begins to find ways to build power and prepare for rebellion.
<...Zhu Yunwen did not interfere too much with pyramid schemes, after all, in his view, it was something that social development would inevitably go through, and his intervention would not have much effect.
It's like saying there are too many rich fools in the world, and if they want to be scammed, no one can stop them.
Even if Zhu Yunwen prevents those present from being deceived today, they will still fall into the same predicament tomorrow, after all, these things are like this.
They won't believe this thing is a scam unless they've suffered losses or been fooled themselves. Even if they are temporarily convinced, they'll probably fall for it again if the method changes.
Therefore, there are some things that really cannot be intervened in, and even if intervention is attempted, it will have almost no effect. There are many smart people in this world, and there is also a certain proportion of fools.
These fools are destined to be deceived in many places, and Zhu Yunwen cannot change this by his own efforts. Since he cannot change it, he might as well let them experience it.
Anyway, this thing is unlikely to harm their lives. They might suffer a loss, be tricked, spend money, and learn a lesson. They can consider it a way to grow.
Soon, he and Zhao Qingzhu climbed the mountain together. The mountain was called Hongfeng Mountain. As the name suggests, the entire mountain turned red in autumn.
The maple leaves on the mountain had all turned red, creating a stunning scene; the entire mountain seemed to have been dyed red. Hence the name Red Peak Mountain.
There are many tourists coming and going on Hongfeng Mountain, and the air is filled with laughter. Nowadays, the people of the Ming Dynasty have better conditions, better lives, and more money.
It all started naturally, enjoying food, drinks, and fun.
All industries began to flourish, and all experienced explosive growth.
This includes fraud, and naturally it includes tourism.
Tourism accounts for a significant portion of this.
Because tourism encompasses food, drink, and entertainment, it is a systematic industry with a very strong inclusiveness.
So you can see people on the street carrying all sorts of local snacks, delicious fruit juices, and playing some fun games.
Enjoying the scenery and sights around Hongfeng Mountain is a wonderful experience.
At that moment, Zhao Qingzhu held a candied hawthorn in her hand, took a bite, and then said to Zhu Yunzhu:
"To be honest, these candied hawthorns are really delicious. I've only ever had hawthorn flavor before, but now there are grape flavor, and... tomato flavor too. It's so much more varied..."
Zhu Yunwen said with a smile:
"You, no matter where you go for fun, the first thing you think about is food."
Zhao Qingzhu chuckled, then took Zhu Yunzhu's hand and said to him:
"When you're out having fun, food is definitely the top priority in my opinion."
Zhu Yunwen didn't know whether to agree or not, but simply put his arm around Zhao Qingzhu's small waist and said:
"Then have a good time. After we've had our fill of sightseeing, you have to give me a big, healthy son when we get back."
After saying that, he secretly patted Zhao Qingzhu's butt when no one was looking. Zhao Qingzhu blushed immediately, but she did not refuse.
And so, the two chatted and strolled along the way, enjoying the scenery, until they reached the top of Hongfeng Mountain.
The summit of Hongfeng Mountain is very large, and there are several places with flat terrain but very beautiful scenery.
At that moment, a tourist nearby excitedly spoke up:
"Everyone, hurry up to the edge of that steep cliff ahead. There's a flat area there where martial arts masters are having a duel."
Upon hearing this, many tourists headed towards the cliff not far away.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingzhu immediately pulled Zhu Yunzhu along, saying to him on the way:
“These scenic spots not only attract literary talents to compose poems and lyrics and leave their names, but also attract martial arts masters to these places to compete and demonstrate their skills, thereby making themselves more famous and achieving the effect of becoming famous throughout the world.”
Zhu Yunwen listened and nodded, then said:
"I understand. It's similar to the Mount Hua Sword Tournament."
Zhao Qingzhu didn't understand what the Mount Hua Sword Tournament was, she only said:
"We're really lucky today. Not only did we encounter talented scholars gathering to compose poems on Hongfeng Mountain, but we also saw martial arts masters competing on the mountain. This trip will definitely be much more enriching."
Zhu Yunwen laughed when he heard this. It gave him a feeling that was both like the literati and scholars of history who were trying to be cultured and like the martial arts masters in the martial arts novels who were traveling around the world.
What kind of sparks will fly when these two feelings come together?
Zhu Yunwen was unaware of this, but was filled with anticipation. Soon, everyone followed the other onlookers to a place near the cliff at the top of Hongfeng Mountain.
Although this place is a cliff, it is precisely because it is a cliff that you can stand on the open ground of the cliff and enjoy a better and more open view.
As the saying goes, one can see far from a high place and know the whole picture from the top.
After reaching the summit, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu were overjoyed and satisfied to see such a beautiful view from this place so close to the cliff.
At the same time, the two also saw that not far away, dozens of so-called martial arts practitioners were fighting on a high place with various weapons.
This place attracted many tourists to watch.
Ordinary people not only yearn for the refined elegance of scholars and literati, who are learned and cultured.
At the same time, I admire the free and unrestrained spirit of martial arts practitioners who roam the world.
However, most ordinary people can only live their lives as ordinary people; they can never become chivalrous heroes in the martial arts world.
It's also difficult to become highly learned and pretentious.
But that doesn't stop them from appreciating and longing for it.
There were many people at the scene, and right next to a group of martial arts practitioners who were having a martial arts contest, there was also a group of scholars and literati sitting in chairs with some tables in front of them, where there were various snacks and wine.
They were drinking, enjoying the scenery, and reciting poetry, and this stark contrast made the tourists very happy.
You can see both literary talents indulging in refined pursuits and martial arts practitioners showcasing their skills here.
That's incredibly good luck.
The martial arts competition had already begun. A group of so-called martial arts practitioners formed a circle, and one person would go up and wait for others to challenge them.
It all comes down to who can hold out until the end. Theoretically speaking, the one who can hold out until the very end is the absolute strongest.
Zhu Yunwen smiled, finding it quite amusing, and joined in the fun. Just then, a young swordsman, carrying a sword, stepped forward and said to the young man who had come up on stage first:
"I am a disciple of the Tianshan Sect. Please enlighten me."
The young man who went up first smiled and nodded, then drew his broadsword and said:
"Disciple of the Sanshui Sect, please enlighten me."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two began their fight, exchanging blows.
