No matter what unethical ideas Zhu Hongsan is thinking about at home to curb intellectuals, let’s take a look at what Old Man Feng is doing.

Old Man Feng is 67 years old this year. This age can be said to be as good as the twilight years in ancient times. Originally, this old man had already prepared to find a place to die, but he didn't care about the flood after he died.

But after seeing Zhu Hongsan as a weirdo in Beijing, Old Man Feng's restless heart began to rejuvenate his youthful power. He wanted to see where the Zhu Hongsan family could go.

If he promised Zhu Hongsan to join the gang in Beijing, Feng Ruoshu would be shocked by Zhu Hongsan's property when he came to Dongguan. He didn't expect that a bastard prince who didn't understand could make such a big noise within a year.

There are endless chimneys outside Dongguan County, and there are endless factories. There are dense ships parked on the docks in the county. A ship of iron, silk, and tea are transported to other places, and iron ore, coal, grain and silver are transported in.

The development zone that Zhu Hongsan mentioned has a new look every day. In the past two days when Feng Ruoshu came, he saw three silk and satin shops going bankrupt, and four new shops opened the next day.

Feng Ruoshu didn't understand business, but in this small county he saw something that other cities in the Ming Dynasty did not have, that was vitality.

An old bureaucrat like Feng Ruoshu, who had received a full set of Confucian education, may have worn out his spirit in his long career in officialdom, but the scholar's mentality of saving the country and the people has not faded at all. Instead, it has been greatly strengthened because of seeing the north.

So today Feng Ruoshu wants to talk to his son and ask about some specific situations.

There are two main reasons why Feng Ziyong doesn't want to see his father alone. The first is unfamiliarity. He grew up at his aunt's house when he was young and could not meet Feng Ruoshu for a few times.

The second is his mother's business. Feng Ruoshu ignored Feng Ziyong's biological mother and was killed by his legitimate mother. Feng Ziyong was actually very unhappy. However, in this society of patriarchy, he should not be dissatisfied with his father at all, otherwise he would be a traitor.

Feng Ziyong received a notice from his father in the county government office and brought his grandson, Director Feng to meet his father Feng Ruoshu.

Feng Ruoshu was very happy to see his grandson, Director Feng. Confucianism emphasizes the importance of holding his grandson but not holding his son. Director Feng is now six years old, at the age of playfulness, but he is polite under Feng Ziyong's education and looks a bit like a little intellectual.

If Zhu Hongsan is here, he must have said that Feng Ziyi poisoned the teenagers. Zhu Hongsan's sons and daughters ran wildly every day and did everything in fights. The boss Zhu Luo was even a domineering Zhu Jiazhuang. Ma Jiyuan mentioned the issue of children's education to Zhu Hongsan many times, and Zhu Hongsan smiled and refused to reply.

Director Feng kowtowed to Feng Ruoshu in a regular manner and said in a crisp childish voice: "Give me a greeting to my grandfather."

Feng Ruoshu twisted his long beard and smiled, "Come on the way, my grandfather asked you, have you ever entered school?"

Director Feng replied: "After the New Year, my father taught me the mystery for his grandson, and is now learning the Three Character Classic."

Feng Ruoshu smiled and said, "Okay, how about the director memorizing a three-character scripture for his grandfather?"

Director Feng began to recite the Three Character Classic. What's wrong with this little guy, this little guy was very smart, and Lang Lang was caught up with me with more than a thousand words of three Character Classic. Feng Ruoshu was very happy to see his grandson so smart, and felt that it was this grandson who took over his mantle.

After listening to Director Feng’s recitation, Feng Ruoshu said, “Director has memorized very well. Now you go out with your elder brother.”

After Feng Ruoshu said that, he signaled Feng Run behind him to lead Feng Dao out. After all, Feng Ziyi had a major discussion today.

Feng Run was actually very unhappy. He had a lot of opinions about his second uncle, who was born in illegitimate. The reason was very simple. Feng Run's grandmother and parents both died in Chengdu. There was a big reason for this incident and Feng Ziyi's inaction.

So when Feng Ziyong came in just now, Feng Run didn't ask any questions, just gave a tribute and finished it.

After seeing Feng Run leading Feng Dao out, Feng Ruoshu said, "The second brother (this name is very awkward), don't blame Feng Run. Don't bring the grudges of the previous generation to the next generation."

Feng Ziyong lowered his head and said nothing.

Feng Ruoshu sighed, and the son still blamed himself. But some words must be made clear today.

Feng Ruoshu said: "Second, I know that when you were young, your aunt raised you. You and the Ma brothers have been together since childhood, but in the future, you must keep a distance from the Ma brothers."

Feng Ziyong was stunned and asked, "Why is this, my father?"

Feng Ruoshu sighed and said, "When I was in Beijing before, I just felt that Zhu Hongsan could develop a little, and at the least he could be at peace with a corner of Guangdong. At that time, I went south just to take advantage of my old bones to move around and open up the world for him so that my Feng family could live a better life in this chaotic world."

Speaking of dry mouth, Feng Ruoshu picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, and then said, "But when I went to Guangdong, I found that Zhu Hongsan was not ordinary. I had created such a big stall in one year in Guangdong. This guy will be extraordinary in the future."

Feng Ziyong finished listening to his father and asked, "Father, I don't think it's anything."

Feng Ruoshu shook his head and said, "You are the people in the game and can't see clearly. I, an outsider, can see clearly. The biggest difference between Dongguan and other places is vitality. Just like a young man in the 14th Five-Year Plan, although he may keep falling, he is young and can keep getting up. The Ming Dynasty is like me now, and he is about to stop, but he will never get up when he falls."

Feng Ziyong thought about it and it was as his father said. Now he is full of vitality from top to bottom, and any work is solved on the same day. The same is true for Feng Ziyong, who has been an official. He has been infected by this atmosphere, but he doesn't know it himself.

Feng Ziyong said: "This is also one of the reasons why King Chu and I went south. I found that I was very happy to be with them and also to work. Although I was very tired every day, I felt very satisfied when I saw factories rising up and the people under my rule could have enough food."

Feng Ruoshu looked at his son and said, "I am old and I can't live for a few years. Our Feng family has a small population, so this family will depend on you in the future."

Feng Ziyong said, "Isn't there any Ma family? They will help us."

Feng Ruoshu said seriously: "This is why I came to find you today. You must stay away from the Ma brothers. It is best to find an opportunity to break up with them."

Feng Ziyong was shocked when he heard his father say this and asked, "Father, do the Ma brothers disrespect you?"

Feng Ruoshu shook his head and said, "Zhu Hongsan has been using the strength of the Ma family since Huguang. But look, can the Ma family speak in Zhu Hongsan's army? A scholar Tong Yangjia has no experience in politics at all. Zhu Hongsan actually made him the prefect. Like the Ma brothers, can't you see any tricks?"

Feng Ziyong has been in the officialdom for many years and was a clever in Yemen. When he heard his father say this, he immediately understood and asked: "My father means that the King of Chu is slowly diluting the influence of the Ma family?"

Feng Ruoshu sighed and said, "The King of Chu has the talent of Liu Bei, but he does not have the heart of Liu Bei. Now there is no way to rely on the Ma family. When the newcomers are gradually introduced, the influence of the Ma family will not be that great, and the Ma family will be in trouble."

Feng Ziyong thought for a long time and said in embarrassment: "Now the four major counselors of the King of Chu are divided into two factions, the Ma family and Tong Yangjia. If I don't help the Ma family, will Tong Yangjia help Tong Yangjia? I have no friendship with him either."

Feng Ruoshu was really disappointed with this son. It seemed that his second son was also a middle-aged man. The eldest grandson Feng Run was not good either. He was not as good as Feng Zip. It seemed that Director Feng was not bad. He had to bring him to teach in recent years.

Feng Ruoshu said: "Second, why do you always think of relying on this and that? You are now the King of Chu, just be loyal to the King of Chu. Remember to be an lonely minister who is loyal to the king, so that our Feng family can be safe."

Feng Ruoshu thought about it and was worried, and then said, "If you have nothing to do, look at the record of the Grand Historian. Learn how Shi Fen did it."

Shi Fen was the brother-in-law of the great gangster Liu Bang. Because Shi Fen and his four sons all became high-ranking officials of 2,000 stones, Emperor Jing of Han jokingly claimed that their family was Wanshijun.

Shi Fen was very cautious. During Emperor Jing, Shi Fen retired and returned home. However, when the imperial court held a grand ceremony, he came to attend as a minister.

When passing by the palace gatehouse, Shi Fen must get out of the car and leave quickly to express respect. When he sees the emperor's car, he must hold the carriage on the carriage to express his respect.

Shi Fen's descendants were minor officials and went home to visit him. Wan Shijun must wear court clothes to meet them, not calling them by their names.

Sometimes when the emperor rewards food to his house, he must kowtow and bow down before bowing to eat, just like before he is in front of the emperor.
