Chapter 266: The Feng Family's Survival Fight
That night, in Feng Mansion, Feng Jie sat alone in the study room of Feng Mansion, watching over the dim lamp with a wine cup and a gloomy expression.
"Paper?"
"Book?"
"What do they want?"
"What on earth do they want to do?"
After Feng Jie muttered a few words, he suddenly smashed the wine cup in his hand to the ground!
anger!
Wrong!
depressed!
At this moment, Feng Jie felt mixed emotions, yet also felt creepy.
Because he couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.
Why did the academy suddenly start distributing paper books!
Ying Yuan must be behind this matter!
But why did Ying Yuan do this?
At this moment, Feng Jie no longer dared to look down on Ying Yuan as he did before.
He knew very well that although Young Master Yuan looked gentle, he was actually insidious. The worst thing was that he was very good at planning.
Before you know it, the interlocking arrangements will lead you into the pit. Even if you are buried in the end, you won’t even know what brought you into the pit.
Therefore, Feng Jie really wanted to know why paper books appeared in the academy this time.
Unfortunately, he can’t see through it!
"Snapped!"
Feng Jie suddenly slapped himself hard in the face.
He wasn't being a jerk, he just wanted to calm himself down.
Hiss…whoosh…hiss…whoosh…hiss…whoosh…
After taking a few deep breaths, Feng Jie finally felt a little better.
At least he could think about something else besides the name Ying Yuan.
What he was thinking about now was.
Although the aristocratic family is in a precarious situation now, it has not reached the end of the road after all.
The emergence of paper books will certainly make students ecstatic, and will also spread the reputation of the academy and paper books throughout Xianyang.
But the price of paper will not change much.
After all, these paper books were obviously made by Prince Fusu, the vice-president of the academy and the owner of the papermaking workshop.
After the students of the academy get these books, it is impossible for them to resell them.
In other words, although there is more paper on the market, it has no effect on the price at all.
Therefore, he, Feng Jie, can still make trouble!
Thinking of this, Feng Jie didn't care about the red slap mark on his face and spoke.
"Somebody come!"
Following a call, a maid from the Feng family quickly walked up to Feng Jie.
"Master!"
"Go call the butler, and also wake up the servants, I have something to arrange!"
"Yes!"
The maid bowed slightly and then left quickly.
At this time, Feng Jie's eyes were full of madness.
He wasn't going to wait any longer!
Since we can't understand or fathom the current situation, just ignore it and make arrangements based on the most serious and worst outcome.
He plans to overturn the original plan again!
Later, he planned to send the servants of the Feng family to convey the message to all the noble families.
Price reduction and sale!
Use the shortest possible time to convert all the papers on hand into money.
Feng Jie made up his mind, looked up at the cold moonlight outside the window, and murmured to himself.
"Ying Yuan, Ying Yuan, you should be proud of yourself for pushing me to this point."
"But this situation is not something you can achieve by sitting in Xianyang City and thinking of some strategy." "How can my family's hundreds of years of accumulation and foundation be destroyed so easily?"
"If you want to attack us, you have to kill us!"
"Humph, as long as you give me some time, the opportunity will be in my hands!"
"Once these papers are sold, even if the price of paper plummets, what does it have to do with us?"
"On the contrary, you and Fusu will probably have a headache facing the surging number of scholars from all over the world!"
"But this is how a life-and-death struggle works!"
The next day, the court meeting in Qilin Hall started as usual.
But the place where a certain Lao Liu was supposed to be sitting was still empty.
There was no way. Ying Yuan said that he was seriously ill, so he entrusted his brother Fusu to take charge of the government. Could anyone else say anything?
You know, at this moment, in the Zhangtai Palace a few miles away, the First Emperor was recuperating in seclusion.
There is really a problem. Can the Emperor Qin Shi Huang still sit still?
What's more, in fact, most of the memorials in the past were reviewed by Fusu.
Now, the memorial that needed Ying Yuan's help was simply sent directly to Fusu.
In this way, efficiency has been improved a lot.
The court officials were all fine except that they were somewhat uncomfortable with the top seat being vacant.
But today's Qilin Hall is somewhat different.
Even someone as steady as Fusu, seeing that no one was in the mood to talk, did not say anything. He just gave a few instructions and left it at that.
In fact, no one really had any interest in attending this court meeting.
You know, tomorrow is the day when the Heroes Conference begins.
Among the officials in the court today, whether civil or military, who doesn’t have a few sons or nephews who have participated in the Heroes Conference?
Wenkui, hero!
Such a title should be published on the bulletin board and become famous all over the world. Who wouldn't want it?
Not to mention, after winning, you will get an official position.
Those who have won by real ability will have a much smoother career path in the future than ordinary people.
Who doesn't want this?
Therefore, today's court meeting ended so abruptly.
Just as they were walking out of the Qilin Hall, Li Si, the Left Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, glanced at Wang Jian, who was walking leisurely beside him, and said with a smile.
"Old man, do you have time to come over and chat today?"
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't we come to my house and have a couple of games?"
"That's just right. I also want to see if your brain is still useful, old man!"
After saying this, Wang Jian turned his head and looked at Li Si quietly.
They are old rivals who have been fighting for more than ten years, so they naturally know each other well.
Therefore, Wang Jian knew very well that this old fox must have something to discuss.
Wang Jian nodded indifferently: "Since you want to embarrass yourself, how about I help you?"
"It's just right. We haven't fought for a long time. Let's see if you have improved!"
Li Si sneered twice when he heard this.
"Old man, do you and I really need to brag about each other like this?"
"If you can brag about your chess skills, then I can call myself a national champion of the Qin Dynasty!"
"Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to cheat if you lose later!"
Wang Jian sneered, held his head high and walked out side by side with Li Si.
Obviously, these two people planned to go straight back home and start killing.
But this scene made the ministers following behind them dumbfounded.
No!
Li Si and Wang Jian walked side by side?
Haven't the two of you been fighting each other in the court for decades?
How come you suddenly reconciled?
But if you two stop fighting, what will we do in the future?
