At this moment, Kong Yingda felt that there was something wrong with the mountain.
Regardless of whether he was a brick or not, he was still a brick. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of thing was strictly controlled.
Even in his mansion, only the main door was built with bricks. The rest was still made with mud.
However, when compared to this place …
In an instant, Kong Yingda felt as if he was a chicken that had walked into a phoenix's nest.
Although this phoenix's nest was very small.
Seeing that Kong Yingda was still immersed in shock and holding a brick in a daze, the village head couldn't help but shake his head.
The old village head could only shake his head helplessly. Taking advantage of the situation, he walked out of the room and found a few workers from Tong Hui Fang. He had them bring a slip of paper and hurriedly went to the food factory to arrange the food.
After all, the food factory was no longer the same as before.
At this time, there were no pigs to be killed in the food factory. Basically, it was used to make cooked food and to prepare braised food for the restaurants opened by the Guanlong aristocrats in Chang 'an.
It was also a place to teach some skills to those who wanted to come here to learn the art of cooking.
To put it bluntly, this was the kitchen for the thousands of people in White Deer College. It was also the place where the students on the mountain learned the art of cooking.
When the village head returned to the house, Kong Yingda had already returned to normal. He lowered his head and smoked fiercely.
The comfort in the old village head's heart could not be described with words.
He could finally breathe a sigh of relief for once.
Seeing that Old Sun had returned, Kong Yingda asked, "Old Sun, you're saying that you're in charge of this paper mill and the market on the mountain?"
The old village head silently laughed and said, "This is all because Feng Zi knows how to take care of the elderly. Otherwise, do you think this old man would have this opportunity?"
"Moreover, this young man is also a person who values friendship and righteousness. I'm basically in charge of all the trivial matters on the mountain."
As he spoke, the old village head sized up Kong Yingda and said, "Kong Yingda, judging from your appearance, are you … retiring?"
Kong Yingda was shocked.
Did he know about yesterday's incident?
He hurriedly and cautiously asked, "What do you mean?"
The old village head carefully closed the door and then said in a low voice, "This morning, the person who went to Chang 'an City to deliver goods said that you were dismissed by the Emperor yesterday. Is there such a thing? "
Kong Yingda didn't know how to answer. He asked carefully, "Who did you hear this from?"
"The news has spread all over Chang 'an City. Don't you know? I heard that you had an argument with His Majesty yesterday, and then His Majesty … "
"Of course, I don't believe it. After all, you are a virtuous minister. Not only me, but many people in Chang 'an City are talking about it. There are also many people on the mountain talking about it."
Hearing this, Kong Yingda nodded in relief.
He sighed, "That's right! Yesterday, in the imperial court, I was indeed at odds with the opinions of several dukes. In addition, I was tricked by Niu Jinda, that boorish fellow. That's why … sigh! "
The old village head's face darkened when he heard this. He scolded, "That old bastard, don't let Old Man meet him. If the Old Man meets him, he will definitely give him a good scolding! How can such a loyal person like Kong Gong be wronged like this? "
"No, let's go. Kong Gong, come with me to the mountain. Today, I don't care about my face. I will definitely ask the dean to write a lawsuit for you in person to redress your grievances! Don't you know that the dean and Lord Zhangsun know each other? And you didn't see it last time. Even the Hongwen Guan, the Imperial College, Li Xiaogong, Prince Li, and Duke Chen all came to the mountain, and the Four Great Confucians … "
"Presumably, you came to the mountain this time for this matter, right? Or do you want to find a job on the mountain? Let me tell you, although this Feng Zi looks careless, he respects people with great knowledge like you very much. If you go up the mountain, Feng Zi will be so happy that he won't be able to sleep! "
The old village head boasted about Zhang Feng and was about to pull Kong Yingda up the mountain.
However, Kong Yingda, who knew about this matter, came to find evidence. Why would he want to go up the mountain at this juncture?
Moreover, with Old Man Sun here, there would be no problem going up the mountain. Even in terms of safety, where could there be a safer place than here?
Most importantly, who in the imperial court didn't know about the collusion between Duke Chen and the Crown Prince?
How dare they come here?
There must be a conspiracy behind this!
Plus Li Xiaogong, who are you people?
If this isn't rebellion, then what is?
However, it was obvious that the old village head must know a lot of secrets. Therefore, Kong Yingda didn't want to go up the mountain. Instead, he patted the old village head and said, "Old Man Sun, calm down. Old Man is tired. It won't be too late to go up the mountain after resting here for a while!"
The old village head finally reacted.
He hurriedly asked, "Duke Kong, this time you are …"
Kong Yingda nodded with a smile. "Forget about the matters of the government. This old man is already so old, I wish to find a quiet place to spend my remaining years in secret. I've long heard of the White Deer Institute, and thus, I decided to disguise myself and come here today to take a look. Although I haven't even ascended the mountain, the sight of the city square has already given me a fresh impression. This Zhang Feng is indeed a genius, and it seems like all of this is due to your efforts!"
The old village head laughed loudly and waved his hands, "You're too kind. All of this was done by Feng Zi. Let me tell you, Feng Zi is doing something big on the mountain right now. You mustn't tell others about it!"
"…"
