Chapter 2551
Shi Chengwu was about the same age as everyone else, and they all came from high-ranking officials' families, so there would be no barriers between conversations.

However, Bai Letong was still a little curious about Shi Chengwu's growth experience, and took the initiative to ask: "Since Brother Shi is about the same age as me, it is reasonable to say that he has also stayed in Sanya for a long time, right? Why do I seem to be interested in Brother Shi?" No impression!"

Shi Chengwu said: "I went to Sanya a few times, but I didn't go to study abroad. I just went to Beijing with my father and returned to Zhejiang after a short stay. I probably didn't have much chance to get to know you at that time."

"So you didn't finish your studies in Sanya?" Bai Letong asked in surprise.

Usually, high-ranking Haihan officials stationed overseas send their children back to Sanya to study when they are young, so as to ensure that the general education they receive will not be out of touch with the mainstream, and return to the place where their parents are after they have completed their studies.There are also some people who stayed in Sanya after finishing middle school in order to find a good job in the capital later, such as Ha Jianyi.

And Shi Chengwu seems to be a rare exception, who has no experience of studying abroad in Sanya, so it is no wonder that Bai Letong and others have little impression of him.

Shi Chengwu has nothing to hold back about this, and explained generously: "My mother is from Zhejiang, so I studied in academies in Ningbo, Hangzhou and other places in my early years, and it is convenient to serve my parents nearby."

Bai Letong said in astonishment: "Then what brother Shi has learned, isn't it all the things from the subset of classics and history in the previous Ming Dynasty?"

Shi Chengwu shook his head slightly and said: "That's not true. What I have learned since I was a child is still mainly the textbooks made in our country, which is no different from you. The purpose of studying in the pre-Meiji area is mainly to increase knowledge. Learn about people's livelihood."

Even so, everyone didn't quite believe it.Even if the textbooks they learned were the same when they were young, the students who taught the second generation in Sanya were all top figures from all walks of life. How could Shi Chengwu enjoy the same teaching conditions in Zhejiang.

What they didn't know was that Shi Chengwu's mother, the Qu family, was also from an official family. When Shi Diwen got married, he might have taken a fancy to the influence of the other family in the local area.And Shi Chengwu, as the crystallization of the marriage between the two parties, represents the common interests of the two major local forces, and enjoys all kinds of top-level resources when he urinates, and education is no exception.

Although he was not arranged to return to Sanya to receive the orthodox Haihan education, what he learned was all-encompassing, far more than the four books and five classics.Moreover, Shi Chengwu traveled among the countries in the East China Sea since he was a child, and his experience and knowledge are far from comparable to those of his peers who have been living in Sanya.

Among the few people present, only Wang Anguo had known Shi Chengwu earlier and knew about Shi Chengwu's strength.But in the current situation, there is no need to take the initiative to defend Shi Chengwu.

Shi Chengwu didn't want to waste too much saliva on this topic, so he took the initiative to change the topic and asked everyone if they had settled down properly after arriving in Hangzhou, and if there was anything else that needed help.

After everyone chatted for a while, the butler Mo Yuan came to the hall again, saying that Shi Diwen had sent away the visitors, and asked everyone to move to the banquet hall for dinner.

When Shi Diwen saw that everyone had arrived, he greeted them to sit down: "Today is a family banquet, and there are no outsiders here. Everyone can relax and not be too restrained."

Sure enough, Shi Diwen didn't arrange other accompanying guests. After letting his wife, concubine and younger sons and daughters come out to greet everyone, they were all left, leaving only the eldest son Shi Chengwu to eat together.

Or worry that Tao Hongfang and others are not used to the taste of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the banquet is basically authentic Haihan style, and even the wine is produced in Hainan Island.Everyone toasted again and again, thanking Shi Diwen for his hospitality.

After drinking for three rounds, Shi Diwen put down his glass and said: "I rarely have so many young people here as guests. Seeing you is like seeing myself more than [-] years ago. At that time, me and your When my parents and uncles first arrived in Sanya, it was just a deserted and remote fishing port, but we had already started to imagine the scene of ruling the world a few years later."

Seeing that Shi Diwen was talking about business, everyone quickly put down the wine glasses and chopsticks in their hands and listened to his speech respectfully.

Shi Diwen said: "It took nearly 30 years for our generation to complete the goals we set when we arrived in Sanya. But after this step, how our country will continue to develop is also a question for us. New challenges. However, as your parents, our generation has begun to age physically and mentally, and there are many new challenges that can only be entrusted to you to complete. Do you have confidence in yourself?"

Wang Anguo responded: "Uncle Shi is too modest, you are in your prime, why do you say you are old? We and other generations also need uncles to continue to teach and support, so that we can inherit the great cause in the future."

Shi Diwen smiled and said: "You don't need to comfort me. Speaking of which, I am already in my 50s and almost [-]s. Many of your parents are older than me. How many years can you do? Sooner or later I entrust the country to you!"

"But before that, you will be required to go through many tests and have enough ability to govern the country, so that our generation can take over with peace of mind." Shi Diwen's gaze slowly swept across the faces of everyone: "Your fathers will The fact that you are sent to Hangzhou to handle errands is not a test of your abilities. If you do things well, you can rest assured that you will be entrusted with heavy responsibilities in the future.

Shi Diwen explained the real reason why everyone was sent to Hangzhou, and the young people present were silent, thinking about the meaning contained in these words.

Shi Diwen went on to say: "Dynasty change is not uncommon in Chinese history, but the emergence of our Haihan Kingdom is definitely an unprecedented major change. Maybe you don't quite understand why now, maybe it will take another ten or twenty generations. Only generations can understand the impact of this dynastic change on the whole world, but I hope you understand that you are all participants and shapers of history, and what you do, just like your parents, will be It will be written into the history books and passed on to future generations!"

Shi Diwen paused for a moment, and continued: "You may not be very clear about what you should do and what you can do. As parents, our generation will continue to guide you in the direction of progress. But in a few years, you will It is up to you to lead this country to move forward. So from now on, I hope that you can be motivated and complete every task assigned to you, this is for yourself and for the future of this country!"

Tao Hongfang replied solemnly: "The younger generation will definitely work hard and live up to the heavy trust!"

Everyone came to their senses and responded in unison, but they were wondering why Shi Diwen made such a solemn speech at the welcome banquet.
