Chapter 45 Wang Jun's visit

Chapter 45 Wang Jun’s visit

Seeing a few words on the paper, Li Er's expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to say something, Li Feng turned up his nose, put his hands on his hips, and said in an awesome voice: "I am the best, and everyone should like it."

Me, quack quack…”

The arrogant look and arrogant laughter made Li Er hit Li Feng directly on the back of his head.

This attack was without mercy, fast, accurate, and very forceful. Even though Li Feng had the power of Overlord Xiang Yu, he was still a little dizzy from the beating.

"Boy, you are too arrogant." Li Twenty said dissatisfied.

Li Feng turned his head and said aggrievedly: "Am I just very powerful? How could I be so arrogant?"

Then he said coquettishly to his eldest grandson: "Godmother, take care of your man. He is too violent. Be careful of domestic violence."

Li Er suddenly looked over with wide eyes, and Li Feng was so frightened that he quickly hid behind his grandson.

Li Lizhi giggled when she saw it.

Changsun chuckled lightly, stretched out his index finger and tapped Li Feng's temple, and said: "You deserve it. You were really arrogant just now. I wanted to beat you when I saw it. Don't be so arrogant in the future."

Li Feng shrank his head and said, "Everything depends on my godmother."

"Since you listen to me, if I want this set of movable type printing, will you give it to me?" Changsun asked.

Li Lizhi opened her mouth wide. Is this still my gentle, virtuous, beautiful and generous mother? Why did she start robbing? She was robbing her own godson.

She looked at Li Feng and thought: "He should refuse, this is a treasure."

Li Feng smiled and said: "My godmother wants it, of course there is no problem, but I hope this movable type printing will not be spread everywhere for the time being. Otherwise it will affect some of the court's policies. I'm afraid that the court will blame my godmother's family, which will harm Lao Li."

Disgraced."

Li Er's expression changed. Just now, he was thinking about using this movable type printing to do something famous. He was still thinking about it, but Li Feng seemed to already know what he would think of.

"Li Feng, please tell me what decrees the imperial court will have."

"Old Li, you are still an official, don't you know anything about analysis?"

"Speak directly if you have something to say, don't say something that is true or not." Li Er said unhappily.

Li Feng sighed and said: "His Majesty is a powerful ruler today, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes. The existence of the noble family is the sand in his eyes, which makes him very uncomfortable."

"You mean His Majesty will deal with the aristocratic family?" Li Er asked in a low voice, but his heart was filled with huge waves. Could it be that this kid is a roundworm in his stomach and knows everything?

Li Feng nodded slightly and said: "Yes, your Majesty will deal with the noble family."

"But the aristocratic families are so powerful, not to mention that the major aristocratic families control most of the land in the Tang Dynasty, as well as all walks of life.

Just say that there are many officials from major aristocratic families in the court. Once His Majesty touches the major aristocratic families, what will happen if all the major aristocratic families submit collective resignations? Who will fill the many vacancies in the court?" Li Er asked.

This is also the reason why Li Er and even the emperors of all dynasties did not dare to touch the aristocratic family easily. Even though they knew that the aristocratic family might be a hidden danger to the country, they did not dare to touch it.

Li Feng sighed and said: "There are not enough talents in reserve."

"What's the meaning?"

Li Feng explained: "It's just that the imperial court doesn't have any spare talents. If there are spare talents, are you afraid that these aristocratic families will resign?"

"Hey, there is no way. This is the shortcoming of the imperial court and the shortcomings of all dynasties. Talents are all controlled by aristocratic families, and the reason for controlling talents is books.

The reason why major aristocratic families can store so many books is because they have many scholars, and these scholars will help them write books. As time goes by, there will naturally be more books." Li Er said helplessly.

Li Feng nodded and said: "So you plan to dedicate movable type printing to the imperial court and let His Majesty print more books so that you can control the scholars in the world?"

"That's right. Once books are printed with movable type, the great Confucians of the world will come to ask you to help them print books. Do you know how many disciples of such great Confucians there are?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. To me, they are just a bunch of mean people."

"Are you looking down on scholars?"

"It's not that I look down on them, but I look down on those who know how to do it. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."

I divide scholars into several categories. The first category is those who study to death. The second category is those who have great ambitions but few talents. The third category is those who are truly knowledgeable, such as Yan Liben, who is good at painting, such as Sun Simiao.

, he is good at medicine, like Wei Zheng, he is good for the people."

"Then what kind of person are you?"

"I, barely belong to the third category of scholars, because I am not very proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. What I am proficient in is miscellaneous studies."

Li Er said suspiciously: "I've never heard of this kind of knowledge."

"Dad, what my brother means is that his studies are very complicated." Li Lizhi explained.

Li Er couldn't accept this answer and looked at Li Feng.

Li Feng nodded and smiled: "Yes, miscellaneous studies are about learning everything. Soon, I will write a book about arithmetic. Old Li, you will come and get it when the time comes, and give it to the court to give you some credit."

.”

"Then it would be better to just dedicate this movable type printing machine."

"If you are really anxious, just wait until I finish writing the arithmetic book and hand it in. Hold it for now for the sake of your future."

"Okay." Li Er agreed.

It's better to keep it first and give the ministers a surprise later.

Next, Li Er and the others began to look for something interesting in the room, but were kicked out by Li Feng. The reason was that Qu Yishou had to be used, so he couldn't always disturb them.

After everyone chatted for a while, Li Er and the others went back.

Before leaving, Li Feng did not forget to remind Li Lizhi to buy Saltpeter Mountain as soon as possible. This would give the Cui family a humiliation and a small blow.

Li Lizhi promised that she would buy Saltpeter Mountain tomorrow and asked Li Feng to prepare hot pot, barbecue and other delicacies.

As soon as Li Er and the others left Taiping Village, a group of soldiers surrounded them and kept them safe until Li Er told them to go back and everyone lined up to return to Chang'an.

After Li Er left, Li Feng ordered people to pack his things and entered the room himself to start writing the Cui family's scandal.

Li Feng is very good at scandals. It's very simple. He has heard too much about the aftermath.

The most famous thing is cheating. Whether it is a cheating by a man or a cheating by a woman, it is considered a scandal, but not in Datang.

In the Tang Dynasty, a woman's cheating was considered a scandal, and a man's cheating could only be considered a man's romantic nature.

So Li Fenglu decided to write that the woman had an affair, and the target was Cui Zhi's mother, saying that Cui Zhi was not Cui Jinhua's biological son, but a bastard born of his mother's affair.

Of course, Li Feng did not write his real name, so he replaced his real name with the eldest young master of the Cui family and the mistress of the Cui family.

Scandal was only halfway through when Forbes walked in.

"Uncle Fu, what's the matter?" Li Feng asked.

Uncle Fu said: "Master, this is a courtesy post."

A red greeting note was handed to Li Feng's hand: "Not bad, the words are written in gold powder, not bad."

After reading the content in the greeting post for a few times, Li Feng said again: "Let him come in. Come directly to my room."

"yes."

Uncle Fu was a little surprised. The visitor was an important person, and the young master wanted to tell him some secrets.

Not long after, the visitor was taken to Li Feng's room.

"Uncle Fu, wait at the door and don't let anyone in."

"yes."

This young master indeed has a secret. Uncle Fu once again thought that Li Feng had a secret that he was not allowed to know, and he felt inexplicably sad.

When the visitor saw Li Feng, who was fourteen or fifteen years old, he smiled and said, "Master Li is younger than expected."

"Master Wang, let's forget about the polite words and get straight to the point." Li Feng said.

"Young Master Wang is really quick to talk. I, Wang Jun, said it bluntly. I want to cooperate with Young Master Li." The person who came was none other than Wang Jun.

The eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

"Haha..." Li Feng chuckled, "I don't know how I became the favorite in your family's eyes.

Not long ago, Cui Zhi from the Cui family came to me and said that he wanted to cooperate with me. Now your Wang family also wants to cooperate with me? Can you tell me why? "

Wang Jun's heart sank. The Cui family actually sent someone here. It was too careless.

"I wonder if Master Li has agreed to the Cui family?"

"I have no interest in cooperating with a family that has no credibility. As for the Wang family, I have offended the Wang family before," Li Feng said.

Wang Jun smiled and said: "That's because the Wang family is blind, I have asked him to go back to Taiyuan to reflect on it.

Master Li, I am sincerely looking for your cooperation. As long as you agree, you can use all the human, material and financial resources of the Wang family in Chang'an.

In addition, I brought 200,000 guan from the Taiyuan family for Master Li's use."

"It's such a big deal. I don't even know what to do. The Wang family has already given me such great rights. I'm afraid it's not as simple as cooperation." Li Feng said.

Wang Jun nodded and said: "Yes, it's not so much cooperation as it is asking for help. My Wang family's industry in Chang'an is already in jeopardy. Now except for one salt mountain, almost all industries are in trouble."

Li Feng said: "It's unlikely. After all, the Wang family in Taiyuan is a thousand-year-old family with a profound foundation. Who in the Tang Dynasty would dare to touch you?"

"The other six families of the Five Surnames and Seven Sects are only the aristocratic families who know how to deal with the aristocratic families, and they dare to deal with the aristocratic families."

"I thought you were all monolithic, but it turns out you're not." Li Feng murmured to himself.

But he did not turn down the volume. Wang Jun heard it and sighed: "The aristocratic families have never been harmonious. The only time they joined forces was when Yang Guang was in power.

At other times, our aristocratic families compete with each other. During the Taiping years, our aristocratic families competed for business and talents.

During the war, what we competed for was territory, support, moral ability, etc."

Li Feng nodded and said: "I understand. What you are dealing with now is business. Your Wang family has been targeted by the other six families for some unknown reason. It may be in danger now."

"Yes. But is there another reason? This has something to do with Master Li." Li Feng said.

"What does it have to do with me? What does it have to do with me?" Li Feng asked in confusion.

"Master Li, have you forgotten how to help the court solve the food shortage?" Wang Jun reminded.
