"oh?"
"Half a sheep?" A faint smile appeared on Jiang Li's lips.
Reluctantly, he whispered, "In that case, I can teach you for a year and a half. If you can truly understand everything I teach you, then you will be my student from now on. How about that?"
"Is what you said true?"
The young man froze in disbelief after hearing this. He then looked at Jiang Li in surprise, forced himself to clatter a few times, and said sincerely, "Once a teacher, always a father."
"The student kneels before you."
"Alright, no need to be so humble. In the eyes of a teacher, all beings are equal. Since you are my student, then enjoy dinner with me today."
"Have you ever eaten mutton?"
Jiang Li waved his hand nonchalantly and asked softly.
“No….Students have never eaten meat…”
"On weekdays, we eat dry steamed buns."
"If you're hungry, pick some wild fruits."
The young man hesitated to speak. He had eaten some dirt before. If his stomach had not been so bloated and he was not afraid of dying on the spot, he might have really eaten dirt to survive.
"Never eaten meat?"
"Very good. If you study hard and understand everything I teach you, I will make sure you have meat for every meal in the future." Jiang Li curled up his lips into a smile and walked forward on his own.
When the young man heard this, he didn't know what to say. His expression was complicated and he stood there in a daze. It was not until Jiang Li's voice sounded again that he came back to his senses.
"Let's go!"
"Yes! Students will carry the meat for you."
.............
The next day.
Jiang Li taught the rich kid in front of him until noon. In order to prevent Xiaoyang from getting a heat stroke, the boy just returned. He didn't even dare to enter the private school. Instead, he knelt at the door and listened quietly to everything being taught.
And the young man in front of me seems to have a talent for reading.
No matter what he learns, he can remember it all and remember it in his mind. He can even continue to extend some of the truths in the middle of the night. In the mortal world, he is a true genius in governing the country.
Jiang Li had his eyes on this person.
Three years pass.
He immediately ended his teaching career under the reluctant gaze of the rich man.
"Sir, why don't you stay a few more days? The price is negotiable. We can sign a new contract and raise your price to three to five times. There aren't many scholars as talented as you these days."
Jiang Li remained indifferent to the rich man's earnest pleas. He bought a carriage and redeemed the young man. In front of the other party's disbelief and joy, he hired him as a schoolboy.
A few years later.
The eldest son of a wealthy family successfully passed the imperial examination and became a small county magistrate.
Although he was born into a wealthy family, he understood the sufferings of the world. Under Jiang Li's guidance, he managed the world in an orderly manner. However, during this period, he still did not forget his teacher from his youth and kept sending people to look for him, but there was no trace of him. His father was very upset about this matter.
They believed that the young scholar was a great benefactor to the clan.
The other party left because I didn't treat him well enough.
To this.
The county magistrate thought that this statement might not be correct. His father only cared about money, but in his eyes, the teacher no longer cared about worldly wealth, just like the immortals in the legend who were not bound by the mundane world. Perhaps he had become indifferent to everything now, otherwise he would not have left without hesitation.
And after that.
He searched for nine years straight. Just when he thought the man must have died and could no longer be found, a carriage slowly appeared at the gate of the county town. A handsome young man, still looking the same, asked him for directions: "Excuse me, which way is the county magistrate's mansion?"
"I'm the county magistrate. Do you want to report to the authorities?"
The county magistrate raised his eyebrows slightly, but his eyes were dull as he looked at the young man in front of him, whose appearance was no different from when he left. Now more than nine years have passed.
Yet, the other party remained calm. In front of the carriage stood a man who had experienced many hardships, with calloused hands but a wise look in his eyes.
"No, I want to find my students."
A hint of indifference appeared on Jiang Li's lips.
Nine years have passed since he left.
He took his students through dozens of empires on this planet.
Every dynasty has different customs and practices.
There are all kinds of historical stories and all kinds of different ruling classes. He is knowledgeable and there is indeed a martial art on this star that mortals can practice. Although his student has no qualifications to practice it, he has read all the books and is proficient in both civil and military affairs. Now he is only more than ten years old, but he is qualified to govern a big country.
"Teacher, is it really you?" The county magistrate was stunned on the spot, looking at the man he once knew. Although nine years had passed since they last met, the man's face was still etched in his mind. He couldn't help but get excited, looking at the man beside him, he couldn't help but shout, "Are you the shepherd boy from back then?"
To this.
The young man nodded slightly, his expression indifferent.
"Of course it's me. After nine years of separation, you've aged quite a bit. You're only in your twenties, but you've been working very hard to support the people. You deserve my guidance."
Jiang Li smiled faintly, and then looked at the old man who was running towards a stall in front of him. He raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to say something, but saw the other party kneel down.
“Meet the benefactor!!”
Isn’t this the rich man from back then?
Why are you running a meat stall now?
"Teacher, this is my father. We used to live in the village, but today is different. I am now the county magistrate. My father is worried that I will be too impulsive and be bullied by other colleagues, so he directly led the entire clan to live here."
"Oh? The master is still funny, throwing money around to clear the way!" Jiang Li smiled happily.
"It's nothing at all. Thank you so much, benefactor!" The rich man smiled softly. He was indeed rich, but running a meat stall was profitable, and his son was a county magistrate.
Who can complain about having too much money?
Settling here is the best decision.
"In that case, I will explain a few things to you."
Jiang Li nodded slightly, pointed at the man beside him, and said, "You know the shepherd boy. He doesn't have a name yet. You can give him a name and help him pass the imperial examination."
"He is a great talent for governing the country, whether recommended to the emperor or otherwise."
"He has the talent of a prime minister."
After these words were spoken, the father and son were stunned and nodded subconsciously.
But Jiang Li didn't care about that. Now that he was about to completely consolidate the realm of the other side, he could no longer control himself. He clasped his hands together, and hundreds of golden stones appeared in the sky and the earth.
Under their horrified gazes, he stepped into the void and completely left this world, leaving only a sentence: "Support the shepherd boy, he can guard your clan for at least three hundred years!!"
But no one listened to these words. Many ordinary people present knelt down, looked up at the sky in disbelief, shouted "God", and bowed their heads at the same time.
