Seeing that Gu Jiang had met him with a great gift, Ma Mingfeng quickly stood up and said with a blushing face: "I'm just talking casually. How can I be treated as a great gift like you? Please get up quickly, don't kill me."

"Haha, what are you saying? Let me tell you, should you accept me as a disciple or not?" Gu Jiang looked sincere, but insisted on not getting up.

"No, I didn't mean that." Ma Mingfeng was immediately amazed and laughed. You should know that Gu Jiang will be one of the three great scholars in the country in the future. Even now, he can be considered a well-educated person. He is so jealous that he can't compare with him. To some extent, such a person is qualified to be his teacher, how dare he be his teacher?

In fact, Ma Mingfeng felt that what he said just now was just because of his knowledge and the summary of a master of Chinese studies in later generations, which fooled him. If he really worshipped himself as his teacher, how should he teach him? Where can he have the ability to teach him?

But the other party kept not being able to worship you so much, and Ma Mingfeng couldn't let him worship you all the time, so he had to say to Gu Jiang: "Actually, the reason why I was able to pass the imperial examination and the Jinshi was just that I was lucky. For example, in terms of real level, I was much worse than you. How could I be qualified to teach you such a well-reader? Let's learn from each other in the future. What do you think if we can improve each other in this way?"

"That's all that. But I hope I can be your aide and follow you to study hard." Gu Jiang stood up, but at the same time put forward another request.

"I certainly welcome this point, but it's certain. I hope you can listen to my advice. Mr. Yangming once proposed the idea of ​​unity of knowledge and action. I think this is very good. But I have another saying to say, that is, practice to produce true knowledge. I think what we need in the end is not to explore knowledge, but to truly go out and conduct field research. As the saying goes, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. You must first truly acquire knowledge. It takes some effort to conduct field investigations. So I hope you can investigate various places, especially in the customs, goods, landforms, terrain and other things in various places. When you achieve something in the future, writing a book will not only provide first-hand information for the fight against the Qing Dynasty and the fight against the thieves, but also provide information for my ZTE after the Ming Dynasty. What do you think about this?"

"My lord's words are like golden and jade words, awakening me, the dreamer." When Gu Jiang heard what Ma Mingfeng said just now, he felt like a lightning bolt slashing into his mind. This was a tailor-made thing for himself, because Gu Jiang learned a lot, but he liked to travel everywhere. Now this investigation is not only knowledgeable and can take care of his interests, but he thinks there is nothing better than this.

And most importantly, he has already started preparing for this matter, but before he was just collecting books and materials, preparing to comprehensively combine these books, and writing a book called "The Book of Profits and Diseases in the World and the Country". However, after writing for the first time, he suddenly felt that a lot of the information was not detailed and needed to visit on the spot.

However, due to the insufficient expenses and the dilemma of the Ming Dynasty, he and his friend Guizhuang discussed current affairs together, hoping to write a letter to the court and let the court carry out reforms.

Later, Gu Jiang and Guizhuang discovered that local officials only knew that they were drunk and dreaming of death, and no one was willing to deliver those suggestions to them. They gradually gave up. So they got drunk every day, and then talked about current affairs after drinking, sometimes singing and sometimes crying, worrying about the fate of the country.

But now when he saw Ma Mingfeng and heard what Ma Mingfeng said, he suddenly felt that he had new motivation, so he said with a sigh: "Don't worry, Zhongqing will prepare now, and set out to travel around the world tomorrow. At most, he will write the book "The Book of Profits and Diseases in the World" that the adult said in three years. After writing this book, Zhongqing will come to the adults to listen to the knowledge."

Gu Jiang was full of excitement and was ready to take action now. At the same time, she was also very grateful for Ma Mingfeng's proposal and immediately toasted Ma Mingfeng with a large glass of wine.

Guizhuang, who was standing aside, was also very moved after seeing this scene: "Gu Jiang, a prodigal son, finally has something to do now. Guiqi and Gu Qi are about to separate. What should I do in the future when I Guizhuang?"

When Ma Mingfeng saw Guizhuang's expression, he immediately knew what he was thinking, so he smiled at Guizhuang and said, "Brother Gui, I am missing a helper here now. I wonder if you are willing to help me?"

Guizhuang immediately spoke when he heard this, "As long as he can help you, you are willing to do your best!"

"Okay, but what I do may be a bit difficult, Brother Gui must be mentally prepared."

"Haha, what Erli is most afraid of is suffering. If you can endure so much hardship for the world, although you are not as good as yours, you are not willing to fall behind!"

"Well said! I'll give you a cup." After Ma Mingfeng finished speaking, he drank a cup with them, and then said: "Two brothers, please forgive me for saying something promiscuously. Brother Gu's name is Zhongqing, and this word is a bit bad. It does not mean that the word is originally meaningful. However, now that the Qing people are rampant, they are enemies of my Ming Dynasty. The word Gu seems a bit unpleasant. Ma took the initiative to honor Brother Gu's name Yanwu, and changed the word to Ningren. I wonder what Brother Gu wants?"

"Yanwu? Yanhuang's Wu, and is also homophonic with the name of Wang Yanwu, the student of Prime Minister Wen, who I respect most. The word Ningren is good to achieve and stabilize the people. It is my ambition. The names and characters changed by the adults are all in line with my wishes. I still say that I can't be my teacher?"

Gu Jiang, that is, Gu Yanwu, heard what Ma Mingfeng said, suddenly felt like a close friend again, but he knew that Ma Mingfeng was humble and would never be his teacher, so he had to sigh lightly and stop talking about this matter.

Then Ma Mingfeng said to Guizhuang: "Brother Gui's name means returning to the countryside. Although he is a noble and noble person, he is not in line with his ambitions. It is better to change his name to Zuoming to show his ambitions."

"Zuoming, Yanzuo Daming, and my surname, this meaning is very obvious. Yanzuo Daming was originally my ambition. This name is so wonderful that I will never forget Yanzuo Daming's ambition. The adults have such high expectations, how dare students not remember it?"

Guizhuang, that is, Gui Zuoming bowed deeply to Ma Mingfeng and said respectfully.

Ma Mingfeng also stood up and returned the favor, feeling ashamed in his heart. These two names were theirs, and he just gave them one or two years in advance. There was nothing worth thanking for by the other party.
