Zhang Feng was speechless.
The most annoying people were scholars like them.
If you're a scholar, you're a dabbler. If you're a businessman, you're also a dabbler.
How could he not go and pick up the things that Sour Elementary Scholar had thrown away?
Why did they have to be so scholarly?
Did they think they were Confucian scholars?
Were they not?
"Alright, just remember what I said. As for the rest, you can do as you see fit."
"Old Du, let me ask you. Have you started the bone-strengthening powder yet? I'm waiting to get my share of the money! "
Du Ruhui was speechless.
Just a moment ago, they were talking about serious matters. Now, they were talking about money?
If you really want money, just say it!
I believe that as long as the Emperor hears about it, he will give it to you no matter how much you want, right?
Do you have to be so obsessed with money?
"It's alright. We're trying it out in Longyou, and the results are good for now. So, Tie Niu and the others have gone to help. And you know those guys, they're all debauchees in Chang 'an City. If they go and spread the news, they'll be better off than us old guys!"
Zhang Feng nodded.
"Not bad, that's a good idea!"
"But wouldn't it be better if we let this happen in Chang 'an? Why should we let it happen in Longyou? "
"Sigh!"
Du Ruhui sighed.
"You don't know!"
"The benefits involved in this matter are too terrifying. Moreover, Longyou is the base camp of us old fellows. Last time, the locust eggs incident had already established some connections. It's not as powerful as it is in Chang 'an. Therefore, we have no choice but to put it in Longyou …"
Du Ruhui told Zhang Feng about what had happened after the Fish Emperor had discussed the matter with Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng could not help but hear some clues from it.
They did not want to use Chang 'an, but had to go to Longyou, a place surrounded by wolves. They had encountered a big problem!
"Old Du, tell me honestly. Did you run into some trouble?"
"Alas!"
Du Ruhui couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he saw that Zhang Feng was finally on the right track.
"Brother, my heart is bitter!"
"I was too embarrassed to talk about this at first, but since you asked, it's not good for us to not talk about it. So … sigh!"
Zhang Feng pursed his lips. Then don't say it!
Did you have to show an expression as if Lao Tzu had something on his mind the moment you walked in?
This caused Lao Tzu to ponder for a long time.
"Old Du, we're brothers, so Menier knows my temperament. If there's anything you need, just tell me. If I can help, I'll definitely help. But let me say this first, if you offend the emperor or commit any murder or arson, I'll immediately send you to the authorities."
Du Ruhui waved his hand. "Do I look like someone who would commit murder or arson?"
"It's just that ever since you've established a relationship with Zhangsun Wuji and some people in the imperial court, such things have to be reported. So, Lao Li and the others thought about sending some Bone Strengthening Powder."
"But now, we're in big trouble. Basically, everyone in Chang 'an is here. Old Chen's house is full of copper coins. You say … this …"
"If they only wanted to make money, that would be a good thing. But they just had to f * cking bring their people in. They can't do anything and leave nothing behind. I can't afford to offend them. I want to chase them away, but I can't do it openly. So, because of this matter, we old brothers have been worrying so much that our hair has turned white!"
Zhang Feng was speechless.
"That's it?"
"Yes … No, Brother Zhang Feng, we've already done that. Do you still think it's not serious enough?"
Zhang Feng shrugged and asked in disbelief, "I thought it was something serious. It turns out that it's just a trivial matter. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
"We've been friends for almost a year. In this year, whenever you guys drink here, you'd better keep your ears open. Otherwise, you wouldn't have done such a stupid thing!"
"Fine!"
Zhang Feng slapped his head.
If it were someone else, he could really say something.
But it was Old Chen who did it.
And this matter, Zhang Feng thought for a second. Only Old Chen could do it!
This silly guy.
How dare you accept any kind of money!
Zhang Feng was speechless.
Scold Old Chen?
He didn't dare.
Old Chen's son slapped him to the back. If he scolded Old Chen behind his back, wouldn't he send Lao Tzu away with a slap?
"Fine, fine. Tell Old Chen not to accept any kind of money. Be careful that he doesn't give away all the money he earns. We won't get any benefits at all!"
"Sigh! Got it! "
Du Ruhui nodded like he was pecking rice.
Of course, the matter he was asking about was not business.
It was the civil and military officials in the imperial court.
It was as if these people had fallen into the eyes of money. He was worried that these fellows would go crazy thinking about money and do something illegal. Moreover, they wouldn't do anything in the imperial court. This was also the reason why Du Ruhui had come this time.
There were people who did everything else, and they did a good job. But he, the Minister of Personnel, and Fang Xuanling, assisted the Emperor in handling the imperial court. At this time, because of the locust incident, everything was left to him.
However, the order in the imperial court was giving him a headache.
He didn't even participate in the Emperor's discussion on the management of the locust plague. It was not that he didn't want to, but the imperial court was still operating.
At this time, Du Ruhui and Zhang Feng were silent.
Du Ruhui was waiting for Zhang Feng to give him an idea.
But Zhang Feng was different.
He was troubled by something.
