Li Qingquan pursed his lips.
"But I always feel that this industry can only play its role in the hands of the master."
She whispered,
"Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts. Few people have the same consciousness as you. They earn money and use it to benefit the world. Most people who get money keep it for themselves. They would rather guard the gold and silver mountains and be misers than let them go. one cent."
"If it comes into the hands of the royal family, it will be a waste of money and money, just like the previous emperor Yangdi."
"Disciple, I feel a little worried in my heart."
Xu Fenglei smiled slightly.
"Then you don't have to worry about this. Your successor will be found when the time comes."
He stood up and said,
"The next investment focus of Liqianzhuang is to promote the construction of the outer city of Chang'an. If this project is promoted, tens of millions of taels will be directly invested in it! That would be great!"
"I'm going back first. You don't look too good lately. Go to bed early and don't be too tired."
Li Qingquan subconsciously stroked his face and hummed softly.
go to bed early? Don't be tired?
In her position, many things are beyond her control.
"Master..."
She suddenly shouted,
"Are you leaving again?"
Xu Fenglei's expression was as usual, noncommittal, he just waved and turned around.
…
That night.
Xu Guogong Mansion.
"Xu Gong, you are fine."
Changsun Wuji came uninvited and said with a smile.
"It's the auxiliary machine. Please sit down."
"Come on, watch the tea!"
Xu Fenglei also smiled and said,
"What brought you here? I was just thinking about visiting you in the next two days. We are all old friends."
Objectively speaking, among the ministers, he had the best relationship with Du Ruhui, followed by several generals and Fang Xuanling.
The relationship with Changsun Wuji is almost in the second level. There is no conflict of interest, so it is not bad.
"Hey, I heard that Mr. Xu is back, and I want to come and talk to you about old times."
Changsun Wuji took the tea bowl brought by the maid and said with emotion,
"Mr. Xu, you are worthy of being the Crown Prince. A while ago, the Crown Prince made a lot of noise, and it was hard for anyone to help him. Your Majesty almost got sick because of him!"
"As soon as you come here, he will behave immediately, and the effect will be immediate, just like a mouse seeing a cat!"
"I can't do it without you!"
With these words, Xu Fenglei was praised highly.
"It's okay. Cheng Qian and I have never been in a cat-and-mouse relationship. When it comes to cats, Your Majesty is the cat."
Xu Fenglei smiled lightly and said,
"Toying with the mouse in the midst of applause really makes the mouse anxious, and it has to fight back."
"So, I have always disagreed with His Majesty's educational philosophy, especially since he is often partial. He is a hundred times tolerant to Li Tai and Li Ke, but is abnormally harsh to Cheng Qian. Isn't this sick? !”
"Tell me, is he sick?"
Changsun Wuji; "..."
"Ahem... In the Tang Dynasty, only you dare to say this."
He said slightly embarrassed,
"Indeed, the relationship between His Majesty and the Crown Prince is not quite right."
"So, you have to be the mediator, Mr. Xu! Without you, it won't work."
"Speaking of which, when you come back this time, you won't go back again, right? His Majesty has long since restored your official position and revoked your position as general prime minister."
"At that time, he was also dizzy. When he woke up later, he regretted it. He immediately arranged for someone to chase you. It's just that you left too hastily."
Xu Fenglei looked at Changsun Wuji.
"Auxiliary machine, you're visiting me tonight, are you here to act as a lobbyist?"
He said with a half-smile,
"His Majesty arranged for you to come?"
Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
"...So be it! Your Majesty has some intention of retaining you."
He sighed softly,
"Your Majesty also apologized to you for what happened before."
"Just give it a chance and return to the court! Even if you are angry, it has been so long and it should be gone, right?"
"As ministers, we still have to...don't you agree?"
Xu Fenglei shrugged.
"Then why didn't he come to me and tell me that he wanted to arrange for you to come?"
"Don't have the face to see me?"
Changsun Wuji: "..."
These words are really sharp.
"You are right. After all, I am still a minister of the Tang Dynasty. If you want me to die, I will have to die, let alone come back?"
Xu Fenglei said again,
"If he issued an imperial edict and insisted on calling me back, then I would have to come back."
"But if you ask me to go back to the court with a shameful face, I won't do it. I don't come back in despair."
Changsun Wuji looked troubled.
"this……"
He didn't know how to reply.
"Auxiliary machine, if you can't help it, then don't get involved. I also know that it's difficult for you to stand in the middle."
Xu Fenglei stood up and said,
"I have my own plan, and if nothing else happens, I will continue to follow my path."
"You, please come back."
This is already an eviction order.
Changsun Wuji recognized the situation and could only stand up.
The two of them walked away and arrived at the main entrance.
"Mr. Xu... why don't you think about it?"
"Anyway, why don't you stay in Chang'an for a few more days?"
Xu Fenglei smiled slightly.
"Okay, you go back first, I know what's going on."
He waved and joked,
"Go, I know you are very busy now and have a heavy burden on you."
"Have a good time while the Queen wakes up. If she wakes up, you won't have such a good life."
Changsun Wuji; "..."
This sounds true, but why is it a little awkward?
"...Farewell, farewell."
The bearers got up and Changsun Wuji hurried away.
Xu Fenglei was about to return home when he saw a person walking quickly not far away. His appearance seemed familiar.
"Xuancheng?"
He was surprised and said,
"How did you come?"
The person who came was actually Wei Zheng!
"I've met the Grand Master."
Wei Zheng raised his hand towards Xu Fenglei.
"I have just sent Mr. Zhao away. Come on, come to the house for tea."
Xu Fenglei greeted quickly.
Although he had tricked Wei Zheng back then, he was the one who later persuaded him to surrender.
Although the two parties have not communicated much over the years, the friendship is still there.
"No, I won't drink the tea. I'll just say a few words to the Grand Master."
Wei Zheng looked at Xu Fenglei with burning eyes,
"Master, do you still remember the four sentences you said to me?"
Xu Fenglei was startled.
"What words?"
He couldn't remember it for a while.
"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the next life, and create peace for all generations."
Wei Zheng said slowly,
"These four sentences, from their initial appeal, have now become clichés and even clichés."
"But I always remember it in my heart."
"I can't do these four sentences, but I can keep moving forward in this direction."
"Grand Master, you have gone further on this road than me. It's okay to take a break in the middle, but I sincerely hope that you... don't give up halfway."
Xu Fenglei: "..."
This time it was his turn to be silent.
Wei Zheng's words were not as pleasant as Changsun Wuji's, but the content of his words hit the nail on the head!
"I understand your concerns, Grand Master."
Wei Zheng said in a deep voice,
"This person, Hou Junji, should not be released from the prison!"
"This time, Your Majesty listened to his words and let's see if he will really die on the battlefield. If he doesn't die, then I, Wei Zheng, will definitely impeach him to death!"
"Whether we drive him back to the prison or let him die on the battlefield, in short, he cannot stand in the court openly!"
"That is an insult to the Grand Master and a trample on Tang Law!"
"That's it! Farewell."
After saying that, he turned around and left without stopping at all.
"Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng know my heart..."
Xu Fenglei looked at his retreating back and couldn't help but sigh, and murmured softly,
"Don't worry too."
'My original intention has never been forgotten. '
…
The next day.
Inside the Tang Dynasty Academy.
Wu Erya stood in the class, holding up a test paper in his hand, and said proudly:
"You bunch of losers!"
"I've been away for so long and missed so much homework. How come I'm still number one in the exam when I come back!"
"What do you do for food?"
When all the students looked at her showing off her power, they all dared to be angry but dared not speak.
This female devil is back again!
I thought she didn't study for most of the semester and couldn't keep up with the knowledge points, but who would have expected that she still ranked first in the exam!
Moreover, it is still the first place in a split! The kind that can make second and third parties despair!
This is undoubtedly a bit shocking - after all, those who can get in, aside from the few other connections, are all the proud ones of heaven!
All we can say is that there is nothing wrong with being a proud man, but there are always a few who are even more proud than a proud man.
Such people are generally called 'evildoers'.
Wu Erya is the evildoer who dominates the whole world!
"Also, Yuchi Baolin and Fang Yiai, you two idiots! Why are you still counting down?"
Wu Erya grabbed Yuchi Baolin's big ears and said unceremoniously,
"Two idiots!"
"It's been so long and there's no progress at all!"
"Are we going to give you devil training again?"
Yuchi Baolin; "Kekeke..."
Fang Yiai: "Keke..."
The two of them are not smiling, but their teeth are fighting...
There was fear in their eyes. Obviously, the 'devil training' was something they absolutely did not want to recall!
At this moment, a figure appeared at the classroom door.
Seeing Wu Erya's majestic appearance, Xu Fenglei smiled knowingly and went straight to the second floor without stopping too much.
In the office, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang both came out to greet him.
"Principal, you are back."
"Principal, you are finally back."
The two of them looked at Xu Fenglei and sighed.
"What's wrong? You look like you've found a life-saving straw."
Xu Fenglei joked,
"What does it matter if I don't come back?"
"Is there anything in this academy that you two can't deal with?"
Today, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng not only serve as the principals of the Tang Dynasty Academy, but also rise to prominence in the imperial court. They can be said to have high positions of power and a full sense of presence.
They are both extremely smart people, so Xu Fenglei has never been worried at all.
"That's not true. It's just that there are some systems in the academy. Without your approval, we can't make the decision."
Li Chunfeng continued,
"Just like this, the first batch of sixth-grade students will soon enter middle school."
"In middle school, a group of people must be eliminated, but we have been discussing how many people will be eliminated for a long time, but we haven't come up with a result yet."
"I think it should be strict, eliminate 60%, and let the students with the top 40% score advance to the middle school."
"Yuan Tiangang believes that so many people cannot be eliminated and the number of people eliminated should be controlled to about 40%."
"So. Isn't it up to you to make a decision?"
Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.
“To advance to higher education, we cannot just rely on a simple elimination system.”
He said,
"Our ultimate goal is to select talents for the country."
"So, the Academy values comprehensive ability and virtue more."
"This is the saying that those who have talent but not virtue will not be used. This is the truth. What we need are talents with both good character and learning. If the character is not good, then the more knowledge, the more harmful it will be!"
"So, the first thing you have to consider is your character! The second is your performance!"
"The watershed for entering higher education can also be controlled flexibly, but it should be roughly controlled at around 50%."
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang looked at each other.
"Then who knows which of those students have good character and who has bad character?"
Yuan Tiangang said helplessly,
"After all, people's hearts are separated from each other, so you can just pretend."
Xu Fenglei laughed.
"Aren't you two magicians? You can calculate and you can meet each other."
He joked,
"First use physiognomy to filter it. If the good ones are good, go directly to the next step. If not, go to the inspection step."
"Those who pass the inspection can be admitted to higher schools; if after inspection and testing, it is determined that their conduct is not good, they will be eliminated directly!"
"This shouldn't be a problem for you two, right?"
Li Chunfeng: "..."
Yuan Tiangang: "..."
Good guy, if you go to higher education, you will have to pick up your old profession of metaphysics!
"Also, there is no need to continue to open doors for those related households."
Xu Fenglei ordered,
"If it weren't for that material, it would be enough to graduate from elementary school and graduate from elementary school. If you go up higher, you can't keep up. It would be a waste of resources to go up."
"Of course, if there are those who are lingering on the threshold and can barely get in, then let them get in."
"I guess Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao should just make do with it, right?"
Li Chunfeng nodded.
"It's almost the same. These two mid-level players can keep up."
He said,
"Not so with Yuchi Baolin and Fang Yiai. To be honest, it's a bit reluctant for them to be promoted to sixth grade."
"According to the evaluation, their level is probably around the third grade. If they weren't related to each other, they would have been persuaded to quit."
These big brothers are used to boost the confidence of other students.
"Third grade... Haha, okay, that's okay. I can go home and inherit the family business."
Xu Fenglei laughed and said,
"With this level, I can compete with my old brothers. At least, there is still a lot of improvement!"
Don’t underestimate the value of the third grade in Datang Academy!
With his level of knowledge, there is no problem in keeping his ancestral heritage! If you occasionally brag to the scribes outside, you will never show your cowardice!
