During this meal …
The two of them ate very slowly.
As they ate, they talked about the future development of White Deer College in detail.
However, Li Shimin and Zhang Feng had different opinions about the materials used for the construction. They were arguing until their faces and ears turned red.
"Lao Li, this research institute and White Deer College are my territory. Even though you've invested money, I still have the final say in the direction of development."
"Look at the three-story stone building I'm talking about. What's wrong with that? It's such a high-end and classy thing. Why can't I do it? Moreover, this new building made of stone will be warm in winter and cool in summer! This will definitely be the trend of development in the future. Why are you so stubborn, Lao Li? "
"No, this college will represent our reputation in the future. It has to be built according to the standards of the Imperial College. Look at what you've drawn on the paper. It's not stylish at all. How can this show that your college is different?"
Li Shimin was tit-for-tat.
The two of them had no intention of giving in.
In the end, Li Shimin directly pressed his greasy hand on the paper. Zhang Feng was also angry.
"No, you have to do as I say. Lao Li, we can discuss other things, but there's no room for discussion on this. If you really can't do it, I won't do it. If you want to do it, you can do it yourself!"
Li Shimin heard this and admitted defeat.
He looked at Zhang Feng resentfully for a long time and snorted. However, Zhang Feng didn't bother with him.
Li Shimin acted as if he was angry. He put all the meat that Zhang Feng had cooked into his bowl. Seeing this, Zhang Feng was furious.
However, what could he say?
At this moment, a cold voice was heard at the entrance of the small pub.
"Is Zhang Feng here?"
Zhang Feng was taken aback.
"Who is it?"
"I'm the steward of the Ministry of Internal Servants. I'm here to announce the decree!"
？？？？
Zhang Feng was dumbfounded.
He looked at Li Shimin, who was also confused, and asked, "Lao Li, what's going on? Why is the imperial edict here? "
"How would I know? I didn't hear that there would be an imperial edict today! "
"Then, then, then, then what should I do?"
Zhang Feng was completely flustered.
"What else can we do? Hurry and open the door! Don't tell me you want to defy the imperial decree? "
Li Shimin was somewhat speechless as he urged. Zhang Feng, who was panicking, was somewhat amused. This kid usually seemed to be very good at bragging. Why did he panic like a dog when he encountered an imperial edict?
This time, he tried to fix his hair, change his robe, and get rid of the pot. But after a long time, he failed. This time, Li Shimin pushed Zhang Feng to open the door of the tavern.
At this time, the entrance of the tavern was already crowded with people.
Zhu Zi's father, Zhu Zi, Gouzi, Old He, and the others were all here.
Looking at the more than a dozen eunuchs in maroon court robes at the entrance of the tavern, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Seeing Zhang Feng come out, Old He hurriedly asked, "Fengzi, what's going on?"
"Yes, Fengzi, what's going on?"
"I heard that you've been running to the yamen these days. Did you do something wrong?"
Hearing everyone talking at once, Zhang Feng instantly panicked.
He hurriedly explained, "No, no, no. What happened here? Isn't this kid trying to set up an academy? This is an imperial edict from His Majesty! "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.
They all knew about the academy. In this Kaihua Square, this kid already had more than thirty good students. But for this, the emperor issued an imperial edict?
Wasn't this a joke?
There were many academies in the world, but they had never seen the emperor personally issue an imperial edict to anyone.
And what was this imperial edict?
Was it something that ordinary people could come into contact with?
Old He couldn't help but become anxious.
Looking at those eunuchs of all sizes, he was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Ye, if anything happens to Fengzi, please tell us. All of us in the neighborhood can testify for him. This kid is a coward. He definitely won't do that kind of thing!"
"This …"
The leading eunuch was completely dumbfounded.
Looking at Zhang Feng and Li Shimin behind Zhang Feng, his legs were trembling.
At this moment, he was annoyed to death by Old He. If it was in the past, he would have been dragged away and beaten, but now he didn't dare to!
The emperor was watching!
Damn it. If he had known, he wouldn't have accepted this matter. He said that the emperor would personally watch him read the imperial edict. But was this just watching?
If the imperial edict was read, it seemed that the emperor was here to accompany this kid named Zhang Feng! If the imperial edict was read, wouldn't the emperor also have to kneel?
What was this?
This was a capital offense!
He didn't dare. Even if he had the courage, he wouldn't dare to read it.
However, he had been standing there for a long time. If he didn't say it, what could he do?
The old eunuch looked at Li Shimin. A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, but Li Shimin pretended not to see him. He just looked at the people who were quarreling endlessly.
While the old eunuch was anxious, he was pestered by Old He again. He couldn't help but have an idea.
He said, "Brother, this isn't because Zhang Feng has done something bad. On the contrary, this time, Brother Zhang Feng has done something amazing!"
When the villagers heard that, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"You've done something incredible? Didn't he just open a school? "
"No, could it be that His Majesty also knows about this brewery?"
"That's right! Eunuch, you don't know, but this beer was made by Zhang Feng. When you go back to the palace, you have to put in a good word for him in front of the emperor! "
"That's right, that's right. When you leave, we'll give you a cart full of beer!"
The old eunuch wiped the sweat on his forehead and waved his hand. "Thank you for your kindness. This time, I'm here with the emperor's imperial edict. So, would you please make way?"
"…"
