After learning that the four major families and the nobles had all begun to oppose the New Deal, the officials inside and outside the court all seemed to be watching a good show.

They had actually wanted to oppose these new policies for a long time, but because Zhao Feng was a popular figure in front of Zhou Zhen before, they had no way to oppose them.

But now Zhao Feng has obviously fallen out of favor, so they all think that now is a good opportunity to oppose the New Deal.

Suddenly, officials inside and outside the government began to oppose the New Deal, but what they didn't expect was that the very next day, Zhou Zhen directly announced that most of the New Deals originally formulated by Zhao Feng had been cancelled.

The officials looked at Zhao Feng standing next to Zhou Zhen in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

Zhao Feng smiled slightly. Since he failed, he had to admit it. This was because he thought carefully for a long time last night before finally understanding what Zhou Zhen meant.

In fact, Zhou Zhen did not want to abandon all those new policies. After all, if you think about the policies proposed by Zhao Feng carefully, you will know that most of them were for the consideration of the Zhou Dynasty.

Because of this, if all the New Deals are cancelled, the Zhou Dynasty will lose the most perfect opportunity for development.

The reason why those new policies were canceled was simply because those officials objected. If these officials did not object, even Zhou Zhen would not be willing to cancel these new policies.

The people from the four major families looked at Zhao Feng indifferently, while Zhao Feng smiled, as if nothing happened at all.

Zhao Feng had thoroughly learned the shamelessness of these officials during his several months in the court, that is, whatever happened had nothing to do with them, and they could just do whatever they should do normally.

Seeing Zhao Feng's appearance, the officials didn't know what to say for a moment. At this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly said.

"But there are still some things that we need to stick to, such as the college system."

"In order to build that college, the court has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is impossible to just cancel it."

"In addition to the system of this academy, it depends on your wishes to open schools in various places."

Hearing Zhao Feng's words, the officials of the four major families were stunned for a moment, and then they were all ecstatic.

If those new policies are no longer carried out, but this college is retained, wouldn't it mean that they can enjoy the original benefits without paying anything?

This made the officials extremely happy, and they all thought that Zhao Feng was stupid, so he would say such a thing.

But at this moment, Zhou Zhen said calmly.

"Now that those new policies are over, let Zhao Feng be the dean of this college!"

The officials couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then they remembered that it was Zhao Feng who implemented those new policies. Now that those new policies have ended, some of them have obtained some benefits from them. In this way, let Zhao Feng be the one to do this. The dean of the college is nothing like that.

Anyway, they are definitely trying to win over the students inside. No matter who becomes the dean, there will be no changes.

It's just that they can't place their own people in the academy, but what does it mean?

As long as the people coming out of the academy are theirs, they don't have to train these students.

Seeing this, the officials agreed. Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, as he understood Zhou Zhen's true intention.

It is unrealistic for these officials to continue to support the implementation of the new policies, because even Zhao Feng knows that if you want to implement these new policies, you must not only rely on the cooperation of these officials, but also make them have very strong aspirations. Only with determination to reform.

However, judging from the situation of these officials, it is impossible for them to have such a strong determination to reform. Even they are all the inherent beneficiaries of the old regime, allowing them to abandon their existing interests and pursue those who do not know. Whether the interest can succeed is impossible.

Because of this, Zhao Feng realized that he had made a very naive mistake. Therefore, Zhao Feng no longer expects to implement the New Deal to the end. He only hopes to stick to some of the most fundamental things.

Seeing that Zhao Feng didn't seem to show any expression of regret, the people from the four major families thought they had won, and couldn't help but smile.

Only Prime Minister Feng Shen seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but sigh softly.

These people from the four major families thought they had won, but the reason they held Zhao Feng in the first place was not for Zhao Feng's new policy, but just to give themselves a voice in Zhongshu Province.

Among the entire three provinces and six departments, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province are the only two places that the four major families have not penetrated, but these two places are extremely important.

The Zhongshu Province is the place where government orders are formulated and discussed. The Menxia Province is the place where these orders are refuted. Generally speaking, when some government orders are issued, they will be discussed by the officials of the Zhongshu Province in the political hall and then submitted to the government. The Menxia Province, if the Menxia Province thinks it is acceptable, submit it directly to the emperor. After the emperor approves it, he will notify the Shangshu Province for implementation.

If Menxiasheng does not agree, then Menxiasheng will raise objections and then submit them to the Yizhengtang for discussion. Therefore, even though Feng Shen is the prime minister, he is just a minister, and he only has the role of executing these decrees. He has no Opportunity to discuss and rebut.

Because of this, people from the four major families have always wanted to place their people in Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province. However, all Menxia Province are officials personally selected by the emperor. Even if they can be placed, it will not take long. They will also become loyal to the imperial power, and Menxiasheng will not interact with ordinary officials like them.

That's why they set their sights on the position of Zhongshu Sheren of Zhongshu Province.

When Zhao Feng was promoted to Zhongshu Sheren, the four major families were extremely opposed because of this. However, after these events, the four major families suddenly forgot the reason for their original opposition. Instead, they had no idea about the New Deal. Be complacent in executing it.

Seeing the appearance of these four major families, Zhao Feng sighed softly in his heart, but on the surface he remained unchanged, and even turned to look at Zhou Zhen.

Even Zhao Feng can't tell now whether Zhou Zhen agreed to him to implement the New Deal for the sake of the Zhou Dynasty or to make his position more stable.

Zhao Feng began to think in his mind. If Zhou Zhen really just wanted to help him, then Zhou Zhen's thoughts were too deep.
