This also explained why he had encountered the Gao family's obstruction as soon as he had arrived in Jiangnan. It was clearly just a small matter.
Part of it was because he was pursuing Yu 'er and was afraid that he would come to Jiangnan. However, at that time, he didn't know that he was Zhang Feng.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have been so hostile.
However, at this moment, Zhang Feng calmly thought about it again under Mr. Yushan's reminder. Suddenly, he thought of many things.
Especially in this era.
This era was the most prosperous era of feudalism and slavery in the history of China. It was also the era when all kinds of clans and aristocrats were at their peak.
The lives of ordinary people were worse than pigs and dogs in the hands of these clans. In this era, what could people like them do to potential threats?
The laws of this era were almost useless against them.
In other words, what the Gao family had done to him before was already considered polite.
"Mr. Yushan, since you've said so much, I'll also show you my trump card!"
Zhang Feng lit a cigarette and glanced at Yu 'er. Then, he said, "My biggest goal in coming to Jiangnan this time is to use the Yu family and the connections I can make to break the control of the five clans and seven kings.
"You also know that almost all of my salt mines in Chang 'an come from Real Wax. The distance from Li Dao to Chang' an is only half of the distance from Real Wax to here. Therefore, I want to make salt here. Also, I want to make use of Jiangnan's developed water resources."
"This is the most important thing. What silk and paper need is this huge water resource. There's also the rubber in Lingnan, as well as my rubber factory and iron mine …"
Mr. Yushan was so shocked by Zhang Feng's words that his mouth was wide open.
He had originally thought that Zhang Feng had come to Jiangnan this time to start an all-out war with the five clans and seven kings. If that was the case, then Zhang Feng, Li Shimin behind him, and the entire Tang Dynasty would collapse.
However, he hadn't expected Zhang Feng's ambition to be like this.
He wanted to use business to completely replace the five clans and seven kings' control in Jiangnan!
In this way, he only needed paper and textile factories to completely collapse the business in Jiangnan.
Not to mention the rest.
If Zhang Feng really wanted to move all these things to Jiangnan, then …
He didn't dare to think about it. After all, he was just a person who focused on his studies.
After an hour, Zhang Feng explained his plan. Yuchi Yu 'er tried to interrupt Zhang Feng a few times, but was rejected by Zhang Feng.
From his point of view, the fact that Mister Yushan was able to say such a thing meant that Mister Yushan's position was very clear.
However, even so, Zhang Feng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Yushan, you're a member of the Cui family. You shouldn't be telling me such things. Why are you telling me?"
Mister Yushan was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Mister Yushan said, "Actually, I despise these things. If you really wanted to completely break off relations with the five clans and seven kings and were prepared to use force, then Old Man would fight to the death to keep you here. However, you chose a different path!"
Mister Yushan chuckled. "You saw it yourself. After the turmoil of the late Sui Dynasty, the common people urgently need a peaceful life. They don't care who's in charge, they only care about who can feed them."
"This is the common people. You also know how deep the foundations of the five clans and seven kings are. If we really break off relations with them, then everyone in the Tang Dynasty will be involved. This won't be good for anyone. For the sake of the common people, Old Man has no choice but to be the bad guy. Even if it can bring some peace to the common people, he won't hesitate!"
Zhang Feng was silent.
At this moment, he finally understood what the Old Keeper meant.
He wasn't on his side. It could be said that he was completely on the side of the common people.
However, he was such a simple person. What right did he have to blame him?
Zhang Feng was silent.
After a while, Zhang Feng said, "Actually, I really did think about opening White Deer College in Jiangnan."
"But you also know that I can't stay idle. That's why you want me to teach and educate people. I'm really worried that I won't hold up these children."
"So, Mister Yushan, since you're able to come here, and you even told me about those poor students outside, I presume Mister Yushan is extremely supportive of me establishing White Deer Academy here, right?"
Mister Yushan couldn't help but be on guard.
"Kid, let me say this first. It's not easy to get Old Man to come to White Deer College."
Zhang Feng's eyes lit up. "Since you've said it, then I'll just do as you say!"
Mister Yushan couldn't help but smile. "Kid, I heard that at White Deer College, Yu Shinan and the others eat braised meat every day. There's also good wine. I can't miss any of these. Also, Old Man needs fifty pounds of paper every month!"
"You … are you eating paper?"
