Seeing the old scholar's simple and straightforward refusal.
In an instant.
The few of them could not remain calm.
At this time, the only person who could change Zhang Feng's mind was the old scholar. Although they had thought of asking the old village chief, after much consideration, they still felt that the old scholar was more reliable.
After all, they knew very well what kind of person the old village chief was.
Besides the old scholar, there was actually a more suitable candidate, and that was Jingshu. But at this time, this kid was hanging out with these two all day long, and there was no chance to say anything even if they wanted to!
Only then did the old scholar come, but now?
At this time.
There was nothing to do.
Once the old scholar refused, it meant that there was almost no possibility of these great scholars agreeing.
After all, these people were all of the same breath and branch as the old scholar.
At this time, the wine that they were drinking was no longer as sweet as before, especially Yuchi Gong. At this time, when he saw the old scholar, his face changed instantly.
He hurriedly begged, "Brother Zihuai, Brother Zihuai, please be magnanimous and help me! Last time, Fengzi said that he would leave the textile factory to me, and you all heard it. But today, I don't know what wrong medicine Fengzi took, he actually said … If he does this, even Old Man can't do anything about it! "
"And this is a big matter that benefits the country and the people. Now the north is rapidly cooling, and as far as I know, most of the students in the Academy are from the north. Think about it, if they know that their families are in such a state, will they still have the heart to stay in the Academy?"
"If this is done, it will be a big matter for the entire Academy! Once the students are uneasy, the Academy will be the one to suffer losses! "
Hearing this, the old scholar's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
This matter was of great importance. If what Yuchi Gong and the others said was true, once the weather in the north dropped, although it would not cause widespread mourning, but it would cause the people to be uneasy.
In the past, there had indeed been such a thing, but every year, the mulberry and hemp crops would not be cut off, and they could almost survive the winter. But once something happened in the winter, such as a heavy snowfall, there were bound to be people who froze to death because of it.
This was rarely seen in previous years, but it was not unheard of.
However, this year, there was a drought in Longyou Dao, followed by a locust plague. Almost all of Longyou Dao, Guannei Dao, Shannan Dao, Jiannan Dao, and other places were affected by the locust plague. It could be said that this year's winter was even worse.
Although the old scholar knew that these people were singing the same tune, he still fell for it!
After all, the academy was founded by Zhang Feng. In order to build up the reputation of the academy, Zhang Feng had spent a lot of effort.
But now?
With the development of phosphate fertilizer and military equipment, the reputation of the Academy was increasing day by day. However, if something were to happen at this time, then …
It could be said that everything Zhang Feng had done before had gone down the drain.
Thinking of this, the old scholar could not help but frown. "Is this really the case?"
Seeing this, Yuchi Gong exchanged a look with Zhangsun Wuji and hurriedly said, "How can this be fake? Fengzi and we are all brothers, and we have even gone through life and death together. How can we harm him? "
The old scholar rolled his eyes and automatically filtered out Yuchi Gong's lies.
This matter was stirred up by them. If not for them, how could there be such a situation?
However, what Yuchi Gong said was not false.
They had no choice in this matter.
Now that things had developed to this point, even if they did not want to do it, they had no choice. In short, at this point, there would be many chain reactions.
And this was only one of the reasons why the students of the Academy were in a state of panic.
If this was really the case, everyone in the world would think that what the Academy had said before was all empty talk. That would be fatal.
Although the old scholar did not know how much Zhang Feng had boasted before, now it seemed that …
The old scholar could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Once Fengzi stopped and did not care about this matter, everything that the Academy had done before would instantly fall apart.
The Academy!
The Academy!
Everything was because of the Academy.
Moreover, these things were all because of these people. If it weren't for their appearance, Zhang Feng would probably still be sloppy all day long. Then, at this time, perhaps he wouldn't be involved in these things that were enough to make people cut into pieces.
Thinking of this, the old scholar could not help but say, "Gentlemen, we are all old acquaintances, and there are no outsiders here. Tell me, how serious is this matter this time?"
Seeing that the old scholar had finally relented, Yuchi Gong said, "Well, almost all the memorials in the north are talking about supplies for the winter. And you know this year, because of the plague of locusts, almost all the mulberry, hemp, and textile industries have suffered heavy losses. And the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Works, which had been in charge of this matter in the past, are now delaying as much as possible … There is even a temporary shortage of supplies. And you know about the Emperor's situation …"
It wasn't strange for Old Xiu to know their identities, so Yuchi Gong didn't try to hide it anymore. Instead, he revealed everything about this period of time. Anyway, this was how it was. Old Xiu knew how serious the problem was better than anyone else. Therefore, it wasn't just one person's problem, but everyone's problem.
If Qiuci was selfish, then the entire West Gate of the Tang Dynasty would be completely surrendered to the Turks. At that time, no one would have a good time!
As expected.
When the old Elementary Scholar heard this, his face instantly turned ugly.
Stupid.
He was completely muddle-headed!
How could he … forget such an important matter?
Was he still the ruler of a country?
He was not inferior to the ruler of a fallen country, Yang Guang, was he?
"That person, is this how he handles things? Everything is thrown to Fengzi? Has he ever thought about Fengzi's future? Have you ever thought about why Fengzi did not agree? "
"This matter, let's not talk about others. Even you, the ruler of a country, can't handle it, and you throw it to Fengzi?"
"Don't tell me this country belongs to him? Or does he have to do these things? Is there no one in the Tang Dynasty who can do it? "
The old scholar said all that he wanted to say in one breath.
Everything that Fengzi had done these days was still vivid in his mind. He had always wanted to stop him, but because of some things, they could not get too involved.
But.
This matter …
There was only a month before the New Year. Who could do anything about the military supplies of hundreds of thousands of people?
But.
Yuchi Gong and the others were right about one thing.
He understood the principle that if the skin did not exist, the hair would not be attached. That was why the old scholar was so angry at this time.
And Wei Zheng and the others did not look good.
But although they did not look good, they still had to do it. They had thought of these things when they came to the old scholar, and they even thought of something more ruthless.
At this time, seeing the old scholar's gloomy face, they relaxed.
They were very straightforward. After all, they were all troublemakers in the imperial court. What kind of situation had they not seen?
Wei Zheng sighed, but he leisurely lit a cigarette for Old Xiucai and said, "Brother Zihuai, this is a serious matter. Now that you have scolded and said, we still have to deal with it. You see … can we trouble you …"
What could Old Xiucai do?
At this time, other than glaring at them, what else could he do?
He had a little way to deal with it. Would Wei Zheng let him scold him like this?
He would have jumped up and punished him.
After thinking, the old scholar took the cigarette from Wei Zheng's hand and said, "I'll go and ask, but it's hard to say whether it will work or not. You have to wait!"
"…"
