Tang Dynasty Little Godfather

Chapter 281 Counterattack
unfair!
This is really unfair!

Yang Hun's breakdown instantly affected everyone. Xue Jun, leaning on his cane, limped over to Wang Xi and said, "Those words from yesterday were clearly said by you."

Wang Xi nodded and said, "Yes! I was the one who said it. None of you dared to say it, so I was the only one who had to say it!"

"But why are you completely unharmed?"

"My dad isn't home, and my mom doesn't hit people. Is that a valid reason?"

".!"

This reason brought tears of resentment to Xue Jun's eyes.

While he was distracted, Wang Xi gently kicked his lame leg.

"what?"

Xue Jun suddenly ascended into the air, asking, "What are you doing?"

Wang Xi chuckled and said, "Let me see if it's true. You guys are exaggerating too much. I thought I had come to a wounded soldiers' camp."

“Of course it’s true!” Xue Jun roared.

Wang Xi rushed over to Linghu Changge, who had the least serious injuries, and asked, "Sister Changge, are you alright?"

Linghu Changge gently shook his head and said, "I'm fine. But my family still doesn't agree."

Yang Hun said, "My family also disagrees. They even said that if we dare to do that, they will kick me out of the house."

Many people reported the battle situation of the previous night to Wang Xi with dejected expressions.

That was truly heartbreaking to hear and tearful to see.

Yesterday they were really badly beaten; some families even had mixed doubles matches.

It's really the opposite of Tiangang.

The son is even pressuring his parents to take sides, but this is an adult matter, and the Linghu family is trying their best to keep things quiet. Why are you all joining in the commotion?

Taoist thought doesn't teach it this way either.

If we don't give them a good beating, how will we establish our authority in the future?

After the beating, their parents were so angry they wanted to hold a knife to their necks and warn them not to cause any more trouble, or the consequences would be even more serious.

However, there were a few families, about four or five in total, who supported Wang Xi.

It mainly involved the Wang Maozhong and Yuchi families, as well as two or three other families with very close ties to them.

What's even more hilarious is that among the four senior brothers, only Wang Shuang's family supports them.

Even the Wang family itself does not support Wang Xi.

A sense of dejection immediately filled the wounded camp.

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Wang Xi asked, "So what do you all think?"

The crowd remained silent, as if they had lost their parents.

Li Jieman countered, "What are you thinking?"

He wasn't beaten; the Wang family wanted to train Wang Xi, and Li Qiao also took the opportunity to train Li Jieman.

Wang Xi said firmly, "For Sister Changge's sake, I will definitely see this through to the end. We can't let people be bullied like this."

Linghu Changge's eyes welled up with tears, and she even felt a little worried about Wang Xi. She gently tugged at Wang Xi's sleeve, "Que'er, what if!"

"Don't panic!"

Wang Xi waved his hand, interrupting her, "As long as you are determined, then I will be determined. If we were afraid, we would have left here long ago."

Huangfu Sengnian stepped forward and said, "That's right. When has our Wuming Academy ever been afraid? We have suffered countless humiliations before, but we have always earned them back on our own. Our parents have hardly ever supported us, and I believe this time will be no exception."

The more they suppress us, the more we must prove them wrong.

Han Xiaohu said timidly, "We're not afraid, but this time we still have to force our family to make a decision?"

Wang Xi clicked his tongue and said, "No wonder you got beaten up. This can't be called coercion. We are now representing Wuming Academy to discuss cooperation, so we have to make a fair judgment. They can also choose not to cooperate with us. In business, it's all about mutual consent."

Yesterday when I went back, I just asked my mother if she was willing to cooperate with me. If she wasn't, then forget it. My mother told me to get out, so I'll just get out and show her.

So I didn't get hit.

Han Xiaohu said dejectedly, "That's not what you said yesterday."

Wang Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Yesterday it was us shouting slogans, not you guys shouting slogans at Dad. That would be asking for a beating."

We need our parents' help to fight. This time, we'll try diplomacy first, then force. If they don't cooperate, they'll regret it. So we need to make it clear to them now, lest they blame us later.

"Dry!"

Yang Hun suddenly got up and roared like a madman: "Damn it, what's the use of saying all this nonsense now? We've already fought, we can't let this beating go to waste, let's fight them to the end."

This guy can be very irritable at times. When he wanted to come to Wuming Academy, he went on a hunger strike at home every day and fought with his parents for a long time.

His shout suddenly ignited the morale of the spoiled brats.

They're the kind of people who can't handle any stimulation and could explode at any moment.

A group of defeated soldiers raised their arms and shouted that they would fight the enemy to the bitter end.

"When have we ever been afraid of anything at Wuming Academy?" After the commotion subsided, Xue Jun turned to Wang Xi and said, "Brother Que, what do you think we should do now?"

Wang Xi said, "First of all, we should sign a contract and establish a committee, which will be fully managed by the four of us senior brothers, to decide who will receive our technology or with whom we will cooperate. Anyone who leaks our secrets will be expelled from Wuming Academy."

Secondly, we will treat those who support us well. We will collaborate with the Yuchi, Qu, and Han families on our latest research and development of rouge, dyes, face masks, and so on.

Besides these, Qingyun Temple will only cooperate with these few organizations; any support for my aunt will be severed.

Xue Bao'er suddenly asked, "Not even for beauty?"

Wang Xi frowned slightly. "I'm afraid that's really not possible. After all, we simply can't do it, because my aunt, the Empress, also takes the concubines of the harem to the temple for beauty treatments."

He really didn't dare.

If he dared to do that, those noblewomen would go crazy, but they might not be able to change their families' decisions, which would put the nameless academy in a very passive position.

Qingyun Temple mainly focuses on gradually developing its influence, but it cannot use it to threaten others.

Xue Bao'er nodded repeatedly and said, "Everything else is fine, but we can't mess around with this."

"Don't worry. Do you think I don't know what's important?"

Wang Xi continued, "Finally, in order to crack down on my aunt's business, we will cooperate with the families that support us to mine coal. We will provide all the technology we know, and we want to tell them that even in business, we are not afraid of them."

They acted immediately upon hearing the word.

The Nameless Academy immediately established an internal committee to take full control of its external transactions and negotiations.

Actually, this has been the case for a long time, because it has always been controlled by the four senior brothers, but this time it is more legitimate.

After the committee was established, Wang Xi immediately invited the Yuchi family to the Wuming Academy to discuss cooperation.

Because now it is the Yuchi family that is leading the rebellion against Lady Zixia.

The Yuchi family has no relation to Yuchi Jingde. They are mainly Xianbei nobles from Khotan, and they are accomplished in both civil and military affairs.

Furthermore, they wielded considerable power on the road to the Western Regions, and Li Longji relied on the Yuchi family to control Khotan and other areas.

This is also one of the reasons why Lady Yuchi was unhappy with Lady Zixia, because Lady Yuchi had helped Lady Zixia with her business in the Western Regions.

The person who came here today is named Yuchi Jin, Linghu Changge's maternal uncle, and he holds no official position in the court.

Everyone should try to avoid getting involved in political struggles, after all, Zhang Shuo is now the Grand Secretary.

However, as it stands, they have very little support for their family. The biggest support comes from the Nameless Academy. Since Wang Xi really helped Linghu Xiaozhe get promoted, the Yuchi family also values ​​the Nameless Academy very much.

Since they didn't have many helpers, they sent Linghu Changge's uncle, Yuchi, to come in and negotiate with Wang Xi and the others.

Wang Xi was also very generous, directly offering the rouge recipe to the Yuchi family for cooperation. People in ancient times valued secret recipes very much, but Wang Xi never cared much about them, only using them to exchange for 30% of the profits.

The reason this trading method came about is mainly because their goal is to nurture the elders, not to rush forward themselves. These things should be left to the elders to handle.

Yu Chi Jin never expected that Wuming Academy would give him such a big benefit. This thing sounded like it could make money, and they just gave it to him like that, and he only needed to take 30%. In fact, they could have done it themselves.

Not only that, the nameless academy also invited them to mine coal together, and promised to work on their coal mines.

what is this?
These are true allies!
Unlike the Yuan family, who not only refused to give him the secret recipe, but also tried to steal it from him.

"My dear nephew!"

Yu Chi Jin patted Wang Xi on the shoulder with great satisfaction and said, "Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. Chang Ge was right to have chosen you!"

Now, the Yuchi family really admires this young man.

Of course, they also knew why Wang Xi would risk his life for their family.

Wang Xi chuckled and said, "Uncle, please don't say that. Que'er will get proud."

Uncle? This kid is quite the stranger. Yu Chi laughed heartily, but then asked curiously, "But didn't you marry the little princess?"

More than one person has raised this question.

From ancient times to the present, the principle of monogamy has been upheld, and concubines have been considered to be of very low status. How do you manage this?

Wang Xi said in a low voice, "Uncle, don't you know who our uncle is? Don't worry, we will definitely not let Sister Changge suffer any injustice."

"Hey."

Yu Chi Jin raised his hand, "Your uncle absolutely believes in you on this point."

As far as the Yuchi family was concerned, even if they ended up having an affair without any official status, they could accept it, since marriage was quite chaotic in the Tang Dynasty.

They valued social standing highly, and they would rather their daughters marry into noble families than marry into a poor family.

That's just how peculiar it is.

Wang Xi said, "Uncle, please rest assured. We are currently working hard to develop the technology, and we guarantee that it will surpass my aunt's."

Yu Chi Jia nodded and said, "Okay! Your uncle is waiting for your good news."

But after saying that, he felt something was off. Aunt? Uncle? This...!

After reaching a cooperation agreement with the Yuchi family, Wuming Academy also reached cooperation agreements with the Han family, Qu family, and Liu family respectively, concerning fertilizer production, eyebrow pencils, book printing, and the supply of raw materials for face masks, etc.

At the same time, they united these families to establish a coal mine, specifically to compete with Madam Zixia's coal mine.
