Li Er smiled and said: "Li Feng always does things unexpectedly. Believe it or not, if these scholars dare to stand up, then it will be proven that he is a useless scholar."

"Weichen believes that Li Feng does have this ability." Fang Xuanling said.

The two of them looked at Li Feng and the scholar again.

Li Feng nodded and said, "Very good. Seeing that you can accept new things shows that you are a useful scholar. I'll leave the promotion of sweaters to you."

I will send someone to observe you secretly. If you just talk and don't take actual actions, then I'm sorry, your name will appear on the list of useless scholars.

In order to prove what I said, I will tell you a secret now. After the year, I will set up a newspaper to publish the latest news from Chang'an.

And I will publish a list of useful and useless scholars in the newspaper. This is related to everyone's future and reputation, so we must grasp it carefully."

"Marquis Lantian, is the newspaper you are talking about the government's Dibao?"

"It's almost the same. The official newspaper only talks about government affairs, but my newspaper specializes in private affairs, and of course it also exposes things in the government. If you want to know, you can see it after the year."

Li Feng also stood up and said: "Now I ask everyone again, which of you doesn't want to promote sweaters and accept my new test?"

"I.I'll come."

A scholar walked out of the crowd, came to Li Feng and saluted, "Please give me some advice from Marquis Lantian."

Li Feng nodded and said: "Well, before I take the test on you, you should declare your family status first. This is the courtesy you should have. Your mentor, your elders, didn't you teach me?"

"Student Jiang Ru has met Marquis Lantian." Jiang Ru bowed to Li Feng very calmly.

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "This boy has a good character. If he is trained, he will definitely be a good talent."

Li Er nodded in agreement with Fang Xuanling's point of view, then shook his head and said: "But he can't let Li Feng not destroy him."

Fang Xuanling sighed, how could this be possible? Jiang Ru jumped out now to have trouble with Li Feng. How could Li Feng let him go?

"Hey, it's a pity that such a good seedling is about to be destroyed."

Li Feng didn't hear the conversation between Li Er and the others. If he had heard it, he would have vomited blood, and then asked them: Am I that cruel?

"Jiang Ru, I see that you have a good character, so I'll give you the simplest test. It's so cold today and people are freezing to death every day. What can you do to solve this problem?" Li Feng asked.

Jiang Ru frowned and said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, there is nothing the students can do about this matter. Not only the students, but also the imperial court may not have thought of a good way. If Master Hou uses this to judge whether students are useful or useless, then the students will not accept it.

The classmates present may be dissatisfied, don’t you think so?”

"Yes, I'm not convinced."

"We are not convinced."

"Not convinced."

"I'm not convinced..."

A group of scholars immediately protested with great momentum, making everyone present feel a pressure.

However, Li Feng showed a smile and said: "You are not convinced? What right do you have to be dissatisfied? Let's not mention that you are just ordinary students. If I am not wrong, many of you want to participate in the imperial examination next spring, right?

You know that I, Li Feng, like to do weird things. I can see at a glance that there are many loopholes in the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty.

There are many scholars who want to rely on these loopholes to get through, or rely on their elders or backers to take care of you during the imperial examination.

Let me tell you some very unbelievable news. I have a very complete imperial examination system here. Do you want to hear it?"

Fang Xuanling suddenly stood up and said: "Li Feng, do you really have a very complete imperial examination system?"

"Of course it is, and it's very simple. Do you want to know?"

"I think so, tell me quickly."

Li Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry, they will talk after I finish it first."

After speaking, Li Feng looked at Jiang Ru again and said, "Are you not convinced? OK, then I will answer my question for you.

When the weather is freezing, even if my sweater is not available, the government can still do something, such as giving the people warm clothes, charcoal fires, bedding, etc.

If the imperial treasury does not have that much money and grain reserves, it cannot give the people clothes, bedding and other items for the winter.

Then you can group each village together, gather all the villagers, and then store food, bedding and other materials together.

The government will take the lead in uniformly distributing winter supplies, so that no one will starve to death or freeze to death."

Jiang Ru asked: "What if the people don't agree?"

Li Feng said: "I don't agree that you deserve to die of starvation and freezing. But in such a cold weather, even the most stupid people know what it means to hug together to keep warm."

"The students have been taught." Jiang Ru was more straightforward, "The students are willing to promote sweaters for Mr. Hou."

Li Feng shook his head again and said: "Hey, your eyes, no, the eyes of all of you are too superficial. Are you promoting sweaters for me?

Do you think Mr. Yu Shinan would agree to so many unreasonable treaties for just a sweater?

To put it harshly, one word of Mr. Wu Jue's poem is worth a sweater, but why did he agree to write twenty poems for me? It's because he understands the meaning behind the sweater."

"The meaning behind the sweater?" Jiang Ru and other students began to reflect on Li Feng's words.

"Students don't understand that this sweater was invented by Mr. Hou, so sweaters are monopolized by Mr. Hou. I'm afraid no one in the world will do sweater business except Mr. Hou. Isn't this money earned by Mr. Hou?"

"Jiang Ru asked.

Li Feng smiled and said: "So your mind is very narrow. You only see what's in front of you and cannot see what's behind you. At the same time, you don't understand me, Li Feng.

I, Li Feng, will not monopolize the sweater market. I will teach the knitting methods of sweaters to anyone who is willing to learn. I will teach them for free.

Because I know how important a sweater is to the common people. This cold wave killed many people because they had no clothes to keep out the cold. Sweaters are one of their best choices.

Some people may say that sweaters are very expensive and they can’t afford them. So let me ask you, is wool expensive?”

"It's not expensive. If you don't have a sweater, no one will care about it. If you give it away for free, no one will want it." Another scholar said.

Li Feng nodded and said: "Yes, even if you give it away, no one will want it, but even if you have a sweater, you don't need all the wool. I will only choose good wool, because the people I knit the sweaters to sell to are all nobles.

This does not mean that poor people cannot wear sweaters. They can buy some inferior wool, turn it into wool, and finally knit their own sweaters."
