    The old man surnamed Zhou said bitterly: "It's not because he delayed the Northland water conservancy project that Long Live Lord advocated! This matter was originally caused by Lord Long Live who felt sorry for the people who suffered the disaster. He used his own money to buy food and hire workers to repair the water conservancy projects in various parts of the north.  , this is a great good thing to use work instead of relief to build water conservancy projects. Besides, Long live the Lord uses the money from the palace to hire workers, and there is no need to increase taxes, and the people do not have to work in vain. This is an even greater good thing than heaven. But  However, the Ministry of Works was delayed for ten days because they could only send craftsmen and not officials to supervise the work, so they could not reap the benefits. Then what did Wang Zuo tell his wife, who would never agree with me?  Don't even think about moving a shovel of soil and digging a trench. Such a bastard official, Long Live Lord, didn't kill him on the spot, so it was considered cheap, but the adults in the court were guarding each other, using excuses to confront Lord Long Live. If Lord Long Live didn't kill them, who would they kill?  ?¡±

    A drinker next to him asked: "Master Zhou, you said that Long Live Master used his own money to buy food and hire workers to repair water conservancy. Is this true?"

    The old man surnamed Zhou said loudly: "This old man has lived for fifty-two years, and he has never dared to tell a lie in his life. But if this old man talks nonsense, then I, the old Zhou family, will be exterminated!"

    As soon as Old Man Zhou said this, the whole restaurant was in chaos. All the drinkers were talking noisily, but what they said was that the current emperor was a wise and mighty sage, and there were many comments about those who were procrastinating and incompetent.  The official was belittling, and even the eyes he looked at the three scholars had some strange changes!

    Originally, the scholar surnamed Li wanted to drag the other two people away, but the scholar surnamed Liu got angry and said loudly: "Today's banzai is naturally worthy of praise for being considerate of the people's sentiments, but banzai wants official ships to enter the sea and makes the soldiers unable to see them."  Kneel down, these are against the rules of our ancestors, and it is reasonable for all the princes in the court to strongly oppose it. How can it lead to death?"

    Old man Zhou glanced at the scholar surnamed Liu and sneered: "Why do you want to provide work relief in the North? It's not because the North's grain and rice production has been reduced year after year. You all know how high the price of rice in the capital is, but in the South  However, due to successive years of high yields, the price of rice has hurt farmers. Water transportation is open and closed for half a year. The north-south dispatch is not smooth, so that it is impossible to communicate whether it is necessary or not. Long live the sea transportation and use official ships to divert grain from the south to the north, which can both pacify the north and the north.  The price of land and grain can also make the people in the south earn money. I would like to ask this young husband, this is something that benefits the country and the people, why can't you do it?"

    The scholar surnamed Liu was used to pretending to be ignorant when dealing with ignorant people. He never expected that an old man could be so difficult to deal with. When asked about the pros and cons of shipping, he said without thinking: "Ship shipping will inevitably bring troubles."  How can such a thing be done in the southeastern part of Tantan by Japanese pirates?"

    Old man Zhou smiled coldly and said with a murderous tone: "Japanese pirates? If those little dwarfs dare to come, we will just kill them. Are you afraid of being like this?"

    Seeing the disdain on Old Man Zhou's face, the scholar surnamed Liu couldn't help but heat up his face, and argued forcefully: "Back then, the Japanese pirates swept across the southeast, and the officers and soldiers couldn't resist them. The Japanese pirates came from the sea and went all the way inland. They killed people when they saw them.  Villages were massacred, and there were countless casualties. How could you, an old man, just say a few words and turn a blind eye?"

    Before Old Man Zhou could speak, Guo Xiaoqi puffed up his chest and shouted loudly: "You scholar is really blind and ignorant of Mount Tai. I, Uncle Zhou, followed Commander Luo to kill Japanese pirates in Korea, just like chopping melons and vegetables. I will take credit for my contribution."  There are seven levels of heads on the book, and I don¡¯t know how many have been chopped off, so why do you care about those little dwarfs?¡±

    No one among the drinkers expected that such an inconspicuous old man would have so many lives on his hands. They couldn't help but look at Old Man Zhou with a little awe in their eyes!

    Old man Zhou hit Guo Xiaoqi with the tip of his chopsticks and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Why don't you let the Japanese pirates chop off two of your fingers?"

    The scholar surnamed Liu had repeatedly failed in front of Old Man Zhou, but now he finally found an opportunity. He snorted and said: "What's the use of talking about being a hero? Wasn't he chopped into a cripple by the Japanese pirates? You Qiuba are still like this, where are the people in the southeast?  Do you still dare to provoke Japanese pirates?"

    When Guo Xiaoqi saw the scholar surnamed Liu talking about old man Zhou's severed finger, he jumped up angrily and cursed: "A dog entered it. You can also arrange the ancestors in Jinyiwei? Come with me to Nanzhen Fusi to see it!"

    But old man Zhou grabbed Guo Xiaoqi, stared at the scholar surnamed Liu like a hawk, and said with a voice like gold and iron: "This young husband should be from Donglin, right? You Donglin and the big families in the southeast are about to be in disaster, and the young husband is still  If you don¡¯t know how to restrain yourself, you might get into trouble!¡±

    The three scholars were also impulsive for a moment. When they really heard the name of Nanzhen Fusi, they remembered that they were in front of the wolf-like Jin Yiwei. Fear appeared on the faces of the three of them, but what Old Man Zhou said  But it made them very embarrassed!

    The scholar surnamed Liu scratched his neck and said: "YouWhat is this old man talking nonsense about?  Today, Long Live has great faith in our Donglin lineage. Mr. Liu Yishui and Mr. Liu are already the second assistants of the current dynasty, and Mr. Yang Lianyang has also been promoted to the imperial censor of Zuodu. In the future, Long Live will put more emphasis on all the gentlemen of Donglin, but you said  If Donglin is facing a disaster, he simply doesn¡¯t know what to say!  "

    Old man Zhou glanced at the scholar surnamed Liu and sneered: "Although my young husband is in Donglin, he is not from the southeast, right?"

    The scholar surnamed Liu blushed and said, "Although I am not from the southeast, I admire Mr. Gu and Mr. Gao's knowledge and character. Why not call myself Donglin?"

    Old man Zhou took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "So my young husband doesn't know that Donglin's academy and Donglin's officials are all supported by big people from the southeast with money, so Donglin's officials are opposed to official ships entering the sea.  Commercial taxes and mining taxes are the most fiercely opposed. They claim that the court should not make profits with the people, but they turn a blind eye to the big families in the southeast who smuggle money into the sea, evade taxes, and illegally dig mines. The big families in the southeast are just like you.  Under the support of Official Lin, he made mountains and seas of money. Five hundred kilograms of silver pumpkins were stored in the cellar, but he was unwilling to give away even a little bit of petty profit to the court. In the words of Long Live Lord  , this is called plucking a small amount of money to benefit the world without doing anything. Long Live Lord has already made such comments about the big companies in the southeast. If you say that your Donglin Party is still clinging to these financial backers, what benefits will you get?"

    When the drinkers heard this, they all took a breath, and someone immediately asked: "Master Zhou, is all this true?"

    Old man Zhou snorted coldly and said: "Are you really just working as factory guards? This matter has not been a secret for a long time. It's just that the two late emperors were frightened by you scholars, so they took advantage of it and didn't attack them.  But now that Banzai has even killed officials in the Jinluan Palace, what else can he not dare to do? When the Dongchang fanzi and Jinyiwei Tiqi are scattered, thousands of heads will fall to the ground, and a sea of ??silver will be brought back  , is there anything in this world that cannot be accomplished?¡±

    The three scholars turned pale after what Old Man Zhou said. They knew that if such a thing really happened, all the Donglin Party members would not end up well. They followed the Donglin Party and waved their flags. What they wanted most was to gain a victory.  With a good future, no one wants to behead someone else!

    What frightened the three of them the most was the change in the drinkers in the restaurant. At first, these drinkers looked at them with upward eyes, which made them feel very comfortable. But now, the way the drinkers looked at them  There was contempt in it, sometimes mixed with a few cold words, which made them feel as uncomfortable as a ray of light on their backs!
