"Master, I don't have a real name. When my grandfather was three or four years old, our family was hit by a storm, and he was the only little kid who survived. We had a lot of food here, so he found some food by himself, and he grew up tall, so people called him Big Dog.

My grandfather thought that he was able to grow up without any disasters or diseases because of his ugly name, so my father was called Er Gouzi, my uncle was called San Gouzi, my eldest brother was called Si Gouzi, my cousin was called Wu Gouzi, and when it was my turn, I was called Liu Gouzi.

Liu Gouzi spoke in a serious tone, Wang Zhen's mouth twitched as he listened, Fang Zhao and some guards couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhang Youzhe didn't laugh. Although he came from a prominent family, after escaping from Yuzhou with his father, he suffered a lot because he was hunted by the imperial court in the beginning. He knew how hard life was.

"I see. Although a humble name is easier to maintain, it's not a good idea to call him Liu Gouzi all the time. After all, you still have to go to school. If you want to work with me in the future, you still need a famous name.

Since your family doesn't have a surname, why don't you take my surname Zhang? From now on, you can be called Zhang Gou. It's a homonym, so that people won't laugh at you, and you won't be considered as forgetting your roots. What do you think?"

Liu Gouzi thought about it, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I get money by calling Zhang Gou?"

Zhang Youzhe then told Zhang Gou: "Study hard with your teacher. You can come back to visit me when you have time. Don't worry, I will pay you ten times your original salary."

Wang Zhen nodded. "I see that you have a spiritual energy. Since you are going to study, why don't you study with me for a few years? How about that?"

"Between brothers, it is enough to bow and greet each other, but you can't do anything rash."

Fang Zan had the mentality of a child. He stood in front of Zhang Gou with a big smile and said, "Hurry up and pay your respects to the eldest brother."

The deep pits on the beach are testament to Zhang Gou's sincerity.

Zhang Gou was stunned for a moment and was about to kneel down and kowtow. Fang Zhao was so scared that he quickly dodged to the side. Fortunately, Wang Zhen held Zhang Gou.

"If money isn't important, then what is important?"

Looking at the smug Fang Zhe and the silent Wang Zhen, Zhang Gou was dumbfounded. He looked at Wang Zhen blankly and asked, "Sir, are you so rich?"

Zhang Gou said hesitantly, "But that place is really good. There is no better place nearby. If you give it up, you will lose a lot of money."

After Zhang Gou got up, Wang Zhen introduced Fang Zhao to him, "This is your senior brother Fang Zhao. Although he is younger than you, he is much more knowledgeable than you. You can ask him for advice in the future."

Fang Zhuo's expression froze, and he quickly bowed and said, "Master, I am right. I know I am wrong."

Then Wang Zhen asked Zhang Youzhe, "Do you want to go with us?"

"No." Zhang Youzhe shook his head repeatedly. "Although your meal is delicious, it will waste time. I want to bring people here after dinner. Let's cordon off the place today while it's cool."

Now everyone cast envious eyes at Zhang Gou. Zhang Youzhe was stunned for a moment, and immediately said to Zhang Gou: "Quick, quick, kowtow to the governor and call him sir."

"Sir, Zhang Gou kowtows to you."

Zhang Gou counted his fingers and said, "This year is the fifteenth."

Even Wang Zhen couldn't help but smile. Zhang Youzhe gritted his teeth a little, but still said, "Add it. I'll give you the processing fee when I get back. At least double it."

On the way back, Wang Zhen smiled at Zhang Gou and said, "You are indeed very spiritual. I had my eyes on that beach, and the Stone Bay in particular coincides with my idea. You have no education, but you have such considerations, which is very good."

Zhang Gou said unconvincedly: "That's not a small amount of money."

"To our master, that's just a little bit of money. Let me tell you this, if you throw that money on the ground, if it's copper coins, it would be a waste of time for you to pick it up. If you change that money into silver and throw it on the ground, you won't make much money even if you pick it up."

"Then I will be called Zhang Gou from now on."

Zhang Gou knew Wang Zhen, so he naturally knew how lucky he was to be a disciple of this young official who was respected by the master.

Zhang Gou followed Zhang Youzhe just to make money, but he didn't know what politeness was. Upon hearing this, he immediately happily bowed to Zhang Youzhe and said, "Thank you, Master."

Wang Zhen nodded, looked at the sun and said, "It's almost time for dinner. You two should go back with me to eat. After dinner, it will be cool and you will be more energetic. It will be great to explain some lessons to you."

Zhang Gou was a little dumbfounded and said, "Ah, so that place was chosen by the master, so what should we do now?"

Wang Zhen sighed, patted Zhang Gou on the shoulder, and said, "You will understand later that money is not that important to our Yuzhou sect. As my direct disciple, you must shift your focus away from money as soon as possible."

Wang Zhen explained to Zhang Gou, then turned to Fang Zhao and said sternly, "Your junior brother was born in poverty. Although he is quite clever, he is not very knowledgeable after all. As his senior brother, you should try your best to take care of him and support him. You must not tease him. The master has taught me that when you bully the ignorant, I will bully you when you are helpless. Do you understand?"

"It doesn't matter. Just let Zhang Youzhe do it. It doesn't matter who does it. As long as we can encourage the noble families to do it together, it will be fine."

"Okay, okay, just knock once, and get up quickly."

Wang Zhen asked cheerfully, "Zhang Gou, you look so young, how old are you this year?"

Fang Zan laughed and said, "Our master wouldn't care about that little bit of money."

Knowledge is the most important thing. As long as you learn well from the teacher, money will come easily. Why do you think Zhang Youzhe paid you ten times the salary? Isn't it because the teacher took a fancy to you, so he gave you so much money so that you can study with the teacher without any worries?"

Zhang Gou's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he secretly clenched his fists and murmured, "So knowledge is so valuable?"

Fang Zhao shook his head and said, "Not everyone's knowledge is so valuable, but our master's knowledge is so valuable. You can see so many new things in Bao'an County now.

It is just a tiny part of our master's knowledge. The real knowledge is not something that can be easily shown to others. So, now you understand how difficult it is to be a disciple of the master, right?"

Zhang Gou nodded, "Yes, it must be very rare, otherwise, the master would not have been so happy at that time."
