"Black Bamboo Academy? What does that mean? "The leader thought for a while and seemed to have heard of this name somewhere.
"Ren Baqian, you must have heard of this person!" The middle-aged man laughed.
"The husband chosen by Her Majesty?" The leader suddenly realized why he felt that he had heard of this person before. He finally realized where he had heard of this person before.
"I heard that he's a gigolo!" The young girl behind the leader opened her mouth curiously. Her Majesty is like the most beautiful star in the sky to her, and she's really curious about what kind of husband Her Majesty has chosen! "
"Zhu Hua!" The leader turned around and glared at her, causing her to shrink her neck.
"He's indeed a little pale!" The middle-aged man agreed. "However, don't say this outside as it might cause trouble if someone hears it. Also, don't underestimate him. "
"Zhu Zhuo, tell us more. You were the smartest person in the village back then. Later, you went to the Yun Nation and are now well-informed in Lan City. We can't compare to you in terms of what you know, "the middle-aged man said.
Zhu Zhuo came out of the village more than 20 years ago. He was extremely intelligent at a young age and was even smarter than the village chief. However, his aptitude for martial arts wasn't considered good, and he was relatively thin and weak. After coming to Lan City, he didn't receive much attention and chose to travel to the Yun Nation.
It was precisely because he was relatively thin and weak that he looked more like a very strong person from the Yun Nation. He had traveled in the Yun Nation for quite a long time. After returning, he took up a position in the Ministry of Works. Now, he was already the Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of Works, a Secondary class, fifth rank official.
The middle-aged leader trusted Zhu Zhuo's judgment.
"The village is ill-informed, and there are some things that you don't know. However, what kind of person is Her Majesty? Why would she find a good-for-nothing husband? "Zhu Zhuo said faintly.
Everyone deeply agreed with these words. Doubting Her Majesty's judgment? What kind of person was Her Majesty? Why did these people need to doubt her judgment?
"Although he isn't good at martial arts and has never learned martial arts as far as I know, he has extremely high attainments in other areas. Did you see the imperial spice store on your way here? Today, the Ministry of Works is still promoting pumpkins, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other crops that yield thousands of kilograms per mu. All of them were made by him. "
The few of them were expressionless. They lowered their heads and counted with their fingers, trying to figure out how much a few thousand catties of land per mu was. This number was too big for them to comprehend. After counting his fingers and toes for a long time, the middle-aged man gasped. "So many?"
Seeing their reactions, Zhu Zhuo also smiled, "That's right. When I first found out, I was also shocked. As far as I know, the highest-yielding crops in the Yun Nation and Great Xia are far inferior to this. Just this alone is enough to make his contributions. "
"Apart from this, there is also a salt well. You should have heard of this. Dayao also has a salt well now, and it was created by Principal Ren and his men."
"If we only talk about these two things, they are just great contributions to Dayao and are not worth much attention. However, there was also the communication method that allowed people to communicate from thousands of kilometers away, the method of mining iron ore, the method of forging steel, and the various strange mechanical weapons used in the war with Great Xia. All of these were created by him. Recently, he even pacified Tianjing Basin.
Even the shaved ice, glass, and mirrors in the city were made by him.
Also, a few days ago, he made a bet with the Zhang family from the Yun Nation. He won against them in dyeing, brewing, and forging. You guys don't know much about the Zhang family, but I have heard a little about them and know their capabilities. Ren Baqian was able to win all three of the bets, which is already extremely astonishing. "
The few of them listened attentively. Even though they couldn't feel it in the village, from what the person in front of them said, it seemed like Ren Baqian had done a lot of amazing things.
"This person can be considered a genius," Zhu Zhuo said at the end with a little admiration in his voice.
He saw many things when he was traveling outside. Therefore, he understood Ren Baqian's value better than others and was more optimistic about him than Tong Zhenye.
"This Black Bamboo Academy was established by him, and what is taught is what he has learned. Even though it doesn't talk about martial arts, it contains algebra and the way of nature. It's really amazing, "Zhu Zhuo exclaimed in admiration.
"Just by looking at how he has done so many things and brought about so many changes in just over a year, you can see how amazing his knowledge is. Even though they can't learn martial arts there, it's still an excellent way out. Even though it's a waste of the talents of these two children, martial arts doesn't mean everything, especially in the future. There haven't been any changes in the 70 years since the founding of Dayao, but in the next few decades, as long as Ren Baqian is still around, there will definitely be changes in Dayao. "
The middle-aged leader was a little silent after listening. Zhu Zhuo's words moved him a little.
However, with the talents of these two children, he was unwilling to let them give up on learning martial arts. It was such a pity for their talents.
…
At this moment, Ren Baqian was strolling around the market. Recently, there were many aboriginals coming to Lan City to purchase things. At the same time, they also brought along a large number of mountain delicacies, such as many rare herbs and fruits, as well as some other rare treasures.
For example, Ren Baqian found a leather bag that was the size of a fist when shrunk, but could fit a person when expanded.
It was said to be the stomach of some kind of strange beast.
Ren Baqian tried it and it was very sturdy. At least, he couldn't tear it. One had to know that he had the strength of 1300 kilograms, so he knew how much this bag could withstand.
Such a bag only cost 30 taels of silver.
Just now, he saw someone selling a type of baby monkey called "Ting Ling". When it matured, it would be 30 to 40 centimeters tall and covered with short golden hair. Its movements were as fast as lightning, and it had great strength. It was probably at the Man Wheel level. If it was fated, it could even reach the Earth Wheel level.
Furthermore, it could understand human language and was very intelligent. Most importantly, it had excellent hearing. After training, it could be used as a hunter's assistant.
The price wasn't high, only 500 taels of silver.
Ren Baqian strolled around the market and bought a few novelty items before returning to the previous stall. He took a few gold ingots from the guard and threw them on the stall.
There weren't any banknotes in Dayao. If he wanted to buy something expensive, he would have to carry a sack full of silver. Gold ingots were still more useful.
This baby Ting Ling was only the size of a palm. It was covered with short brown hair and had a pair of eyes that looked like it came from a comic book. It looked extremely weird and its ears were also very large.
Ren Baqian took the rope that was tied to the baby from the hands of the aboriginals. The baby Ting Ling nimbly jumped onto Ren Baqian's arm and looked at him eagerly. It grinned slightly and made chirping sounds.
"Little thing! Her Majesty might like it. " Ren Baqian stretched out his fingers and rubbed the head of the baby Ting Ling. Then, the baby Ting Ling jumped onto his shoulder.
"Let's go back to the palace." Ren Baqian held the rope with one hand and allowed the little thing to squat on his shoulder. He then called for the guards beside him to return to the palace.
After returning to the palace, Ren Baqian first went to Pingle Park to take a look. Two relatively dexterous palace maids were making Kongming lanterns. There was already a pile of finished products at the side. These were the lanterns that Ren Baqian was going to light up tomorrow night.
666. Ren Baqian felt that this number was quite auspicious!
Then, he saw two black and white lumps rolling around on the ground. Ren Baqian immediately felt sad.
