Yang Si seemed calm, but in fact, he was a hot-tempered person who refused to suffer losses.
Wei Ci owed him one copper coin worth of buns, and Yang Si could also remember it well. With the compound interest, it turned into several strings of cash.
He even dared to trick his best friend, let alone a brat who spoke rudely to him.
If it were not for Master Yuanjing and the lord, Yang Si would definitely not let it go so easily.
By the time Wei Ci heard about Tang Yao's incident, the weather had already turned completely cold.
He carefully recalled and could not help but sigh.
Yang Si and Tang Yao were destined to be enemies.
In his previous life, both Yang Si and Tang Yao served under Huang Song.
At that time, the world was already in chaos, and the five kingdoms were no more. The wars between the feudal vassals became more and more intense, and the aristocratic families all took sides.
Tang Yao, who had a deep prejudice against the poor, had no choice but to become an official for the sake of his family's grand plan. He chose Huang Song, who was one of the most powerful people at that time.
As soon as Tang Yao arrived at Huang Song's camp, he was put in an important position and made contributions twice. He was born into a landowning household. With his addition, the landowning household under Huang Song's banner suddenly grew in power. As the lord, Huang Song did not mediate in time, inadvertently exacerbating the conflict between the two forces.
The two factions fought openly and covertly, and the battle situation became more and more intense.
During one of the celebratory banquets, Huang Song shared some fine wine with everyone. Tang Yao was so happy that he couldn't help but drink too much.
In public, not only did he point at the mulberry tree and scold the locust tree, he even quoted classics to ridicule him as the son of a prostitute, causing Yang Si to be put on the spot.
After this incident, the two of them became sworn enemies, and they were as incompatible as fire and water.
At that time, the Emperor had already gotten rid of the Xu family and launched a sneak attack on An Cui, who had a weak military force. The conflict between her and Huang Song had been made public.
After the two sides rested and reorganized, they tacitly gathered their forces and prepared for a battle to the death.
The frontal battlefield was in a stalemate, so His Majesty placed the breakthrough point of the battle on the weaker flank.
Coincidentally, Yang Si and Tang Yao were arranged to be together.
His Majesty took advantage of Yang Si's gluttony and deliberately sent people to contact Yang Si, and deliberately let Tang Yao see it.
Everyone in Huang Song's faction knew that Yang Si was a picky eater. There were very few foods that could be approved by his picky tongue.
At first, Huang Song scoffed at this.
This kind of lowly method of sowing discord was completely ineffective!
It was fine if it happened once or twice, and Yang Si had personally explained it to Huang Song, but what if it happened more often?
Many a little makes a mickle.
The snowball of suspicion was getting bigger and bigger. Coupled with Tang Yao's provocation, Yang Si's situation was worrying.
Even though Yang Si righteously rejected the sugar-coated bullet later, Huang Song's suspicion of him had already taken root.
After that, His Majesty took the counselor's advice and played a hat trick. He successfully killed some of Huang Song's elites and asked the best calligrapher to imitate Yang Si's handwriting to write a specious letter to the enemy. Then, he deliberately exposed the flaws to Tang Yao.
Since Tang Yao had obtained the evidence, he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity easily.
On the other hand, His Majesty had sent an undercover agent to secretly leak information to Yang Si, telling him to escape as soon as possible.
After a whole set of punches, there was no place for Yang Si to hide under Huang Song's tent.
His Majesty tricked Yang Si and weakened the flank defense line in disguise. Using this as a breakthrough, he fought bravely.
Because of these experiences, Wei Ci's heart ached for Yang Si.
It wasn't a big problem to have a little bit of a hobby, but unfortunately, he met a black-hearted opponent and a pig-like teammate.
After Huang Song was defeated, Yang Si still held a grudge and returned all the humiliation he had suffered in the past to Tang Yao.
Tang Yao couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by hitting the wall.
In this life … Looking at the situation, although the two of them had conflicts, their feud wasn't too deep. At least, it wasn't to the point where they would fight to the death.
Considering their relationship with Master Yuanjing, they probably wouldn't completely kill him, right?
Wei Ci's guess was right. The two of them would indeed not have a death feud.
However, Tang Yao had also offended Xu Ke and Qiguan Rang. Xu Ke had a good temper and didn't care, but Qiguan Rang's resentment was no less than Yang Si's. Fortunately, Master Yuanjing had already decided to keep Tang Yao by his side and write the book seriously. He would make full use of Tang Yao's strengths and avoid competing with Qiguan Rang and the others on the same stage … In this way, there wouldn't be many opportunities for them to have conflicts, and they wouldn't fight to the death.
This year was the second year of the farming system. God was especially kind, and there was abundant rain, so Wanzhou welcomed a rare bumper harvest.
According to the rules of the farming system, the state government could receive 30 to 40 percent of the food.
Even so, the amount of food left in the hands of the people was more than twice as much as before.
The taxes collected by the state government filled the warehouse to the brim. According to Xu Ke's calculations, it was enough to support Wanzhou's expenses for three years.
When Jiang Pengji received the news, she had already taken Qiguan Rang and the others to Chongzhou. Yang Si went to Hu County according to the original plan.
Feng Jin and Xu Ke stayed in Wanzhou to look after the house.
Of course, looking after the house in a place like Wanzhou wasn't an easy job.
Feng Jin looked at the blueprint of the Golden Scale Pavilion that his lord had left behind. He was so angry that his vision turned black. He deeply regretted making such a bad friend.
Apart from the huge project of the Golden Scale Pavilion, he and Xu Ke had to receive famous scholars and big shots from all over Dongqing.
When the Golden Scale Pavilion was completed, it was estimated that they would welcome a large number of scholars from poor families.
Just thinking about the huge workload, even a gentleman like Feng Jin wanted to curse and strangle his lord to death.
Because of this deceitful lord, he and Jingxian didn't dare to ask for the second treasure!
Doesn't your conscience hurt?!!!
A proper and elegant gentleman was now forced by Jiang Pengji to the point that he was about to become an iron-eating beast.
"Master, master …" An attendant called out to him outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Feng Jin's sword-like eyebrows were furrowed.
"The Old Master is here. He's outside the house now."
The Old Master?
Feng Jin had stayed up for too long. He was still feeling light-headed. He didn't react when he heard the way he was addressed.
Wait …
Feng Jin shuddered and woke up in an instant.
"Why is Father here?"
Wasn't the Old Master referring to his father?
Feng Jin hurriedly put on his wooden clogs and hurriedly went to the door to welcome his father, Feng Ren.
The attendant at the side secretly complained, but he didn't dare to stop Feng Jin. He could only accept his fate and follow.
The travel-worn Feng Ren saw his second son's untidy clothes and untidy hair. His expression was a little strange.
Feng Jin was speechless.
Feng Ren received the beginner's teaching materials earlier than Master Yuanjing, but he arrived in Wanzhou nearly a month later than him.
It wasn't that he deliberately delayed the time. It was entirely because it took time to organize 10,000 books. Moreover, they were all made of bamboo slips. They were packed in dozens of carriages. Not only did they move slowly, but they also encountered bad weather for a few days. In order to prevent the slips from getting damp, they had to find a village to rest for the time being.
After some delay, how could his walking speed compare to Master Yuanjing's group, who had a light carriage?
"Your clothes are untidy and you don't care about your appearance. How dare you appear in public like this? What a scandal!"
Feng Ren frowned. His second son had always been steady.
He didn't expect that after Feng Jin got married and became a father, he became more and more degenerate.
Feng Jin was speechless.
