This was a successful lesson.
This class opened the curtain and sounded the clarion call for the new economic development of the Yu Dynasty.
Amidst the warm applause, Fu Xiaoguan left the auditorium through the back door, but the applause inside the auditorium continued.
He Sandao felt that his hands were swollen from clapping!
My father-in-law's family was praised by Earl Ding'an, and my fiancée also benefited from it. But now I am under Earl Ding'an's command, which means I have benefited even more than them!
When I return to Linzi, I will brag about this to the sky!
They naturally didn't know that today, His Majesty's rewards to the Linzi and Zhongyu families had arrived.
The imperial envoy announced the imperial decree and presented golden plaques, and each family also sent a woman from the Ryukyu Kingdom!
The Zhong and Yu families jointly held a grand ceremony and invited all the important people in Linzi to attend.
The grand ceremony lasted for three days and three nights. Only after the imperial envoy left did Linzi City gradually return to peace.
When this news was promoted by the court, His Majesty's reward shocked all the merchants in the world!
There has never been such a precedent throughout the dynasties. This sends a message to people all over the world - businessmen have begun to rise!
From this moment on, the economic development-centered program promoted by Ding'an Bo officially began in the Yu Dynasty.
From now on, merchants are no longer at the bottom of society. From now on, it is their time to show their talents and be active on the stage of the Yu Dynasty!
After a moment of joy, Zhong Zhengdao, the head of the Zhong family, and Yu Mingxin, the head of the Yu family, suddenly felt a little worried.
Your Majesty has rewarded us with two living beauties. What should we do?
"Your Majesty didn't ask us to take her as a concubine!"
"Your Majesty's gift, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me, right?"
"Old Yu, do you mean... a co-wife?"
"I don't know either. Is it possible to worship him?"
"Ah...you and I are both half-buried in the earth. How can we bear such a beauty? Don't let a few more tossings destroy you and me."
"Since you have received such great grace from Your Majesty, I think it is better to keep it as a sacrifice."
"Old Yu, what do you think... Is it possible that His Majesty wants us to keep them as servants? If His Majesty ever goes on a tour of Jiannan Road... We could send these two delicate beauties to His Majesty's camp. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Yu Mingxin slapped his thigh fiercely and gave a thumbs up. "Old Zhong, you are really thoughtful. Let's do it this way!"
…
…
After Fu Xiaoguan left, Li Chunfeng, the president of the Jixia Academy, came to the stage.
He generously praised Ding'an Bo and once again encouraged the students of Xuegong Business School to take Ding'an Bo as an example, study hard, and be diligent and dedicated.
Finally, he asked people from the five major business families to stay.
The others began to leave, while the people from the five major business families walked to the front.
"What about us?" He Sandao was at a loss.
"We? Let's go back to Ding'an Earl's Mansion."
"Oh... Old Master, we're both new to Jinling City. I'm thinking Earl Ding'an will send me to the Divine Sword Army in the next couple of days. How about we go for a stroll?"
Zong Shiji thought, "Yes, Lord Ding'an is so busy, there's no way he could take us shopping. Today is a good day, so let's go shopping."
"Where are we going?"
"Let's go have lunch first... Do you have any money?"
He Sandao smiled slyly and took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, which scared Zong Shiji:
"Where did you get it?"
He Sandao glanced around and whispered, "Don't tell Earl Ding'an about this. These banknotes...were all stolen from Jianmen City. Hehe, Earl Ding'an thought I'd handed them all over, but luckily I was more careful and stole five thousand taels. Come on, since you've been teaching my brother calligraphy these days, I'll treat you to a good meal at Sifanglou!"
The two of them happily followed the crowd out of the auditorium and walked out of the Jixia Academy, only to find that they had no idea which direction the Sifang Building was.
"Looking for a carriage?"
"You have read a lot, so you have the final say."
…
…
Sima Che and others didn't know why the dean left them alone. They followed Li Chunfeng to the backyard of the auditorium and saw Fu Xiaoguan sitting there with a very law-abiding middle-aged man.
A stone table, a pot of tea, and the key point is that behind the middle-aged man stood an elderly eunuch with his hands tucked into his sleeves, seemingly taking a nap.
Fu Xiaoguan poured a cup of tea for the middle-aged man, glanced at the group of people coming over, smiled and waved: "His Majesty said he wants to see you."
With just a few words, the people from the five great families fell to their knees with a thud. Emperor Xuan seemed to be in a very good mood today. He actually stood up and walked over to help them up one by one:
"You are all young men from my Yu Dynasty. Oh, there is also a middle-aged man from the Yu Dynasty... I also listened to the lesson given by Ding Anbo today..."
He turned around, walked to the tea table, and sat down. He continued slowly, "Merchants, I absolutely encourage you to conduct business in accordance with the law. You represent all merchants in the Yu Dynasty. I am here to tell you personally: within the framework of the law, do it with confidence and boldly, without any scruples!"
"Over the years, the Yu Dynasty has suffered from war and natural disasters. The people of the Yu Dynasty have lived in extreme hardship. I know all of this. Now that the internal and external troubles have been basically resolved, it's time to recuperate. It's time for businessmen like you to step onto the stage and build a huge business for the country, the people, and yourselves."
"I believe that under the leadership of Earl Ding'an, you will be able to influence merchants throughout the world and elevate the economy of the Yu Dynasty to a new level."
"I won't say any more words of encouragement. I have one final word for you: as long as you contribute to the country, I will not hesitate to reward you!"
Emperor Xuan's words made everyone extremely excited.
Many people even cried!
Why?
They are businessmen, and they look prosperous on the surface, but in the eyes of the world, they are parasites, vampires, and people at the bottom of society who are full of the smell of money.
Now that His Majesty has personally met with them and spoken these words, they deeply understand that the spring of merchants has truly arrived!
They can finally stand up straight, make money and spend money with confidence!
Everyone knelt again, and Emperor Xuan also stood up. "If you want to thank someone, thank Earl Ding'an. He fought for all of this for you. I have some matters at court, please discuss them."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Xuan turned around and left with Eunuch Jia.
Fu Xiaoguan then smiled and said, "Everyone, get up... I have received your invitations. Tonight, I will host a gathering at Sifanglou."
