Chapter 451 Notorious
Early the next morning, just as Li Fu got up from the bed, he saw Fang Xuanling standing outside his door.

"Master Fang, why are you here?" Li Fu asked directly after seeing him, "What's the matter, I don't think you look very well?"

Fang Xuanling frowned, and said to Li Fu with a gloomy face: "Your Highness, I just heard the news that you sold the grain to those aristocratic families?"

Two days ago, Li Fu sold [-] catties of grain to those famous families, and he couldn't hide this matter.

So, Fang Xuanling found out at this time, he was not surprised at all.

Moreover, Li Fu did not deny this matter, when Fang Xuanling asked himself, he directly admitted it.

Fang Xuanling sighed, and said: "Do you know, people in those aristocratic families are saying everywhere that you are a businessman who only makes money for the country."

"They did this just to ruin your reputation, Li Fu."

Li Fu was silent for a while, then smiled, not taking this matter to heart.

These guys are indeed all wolfish ambitions, but since you want to play, then I will have fun with you.

However, the goals of those aristocratic families have been achieved, and now in Chang'an City, unfavorable remarks against Li Fu have begun to appear.

In the past, Li Fu was a poet admired by everyone, but now, many people are scolding Li Fu.

Moreover, in the past it was those literati who worshiped Li Fu, but now most of the people who scold Li Fu are also literati.

Zhao Xinling was also very angry after hearing some words that scolded Li Fu.

"These people are really scumbags. At the beginning, they admired your poems, but now they come to scold you. It's disgusting!"

Seeing Zhao Xinling's angry little face, Li Fu felt a little cute.

However, Li Fu didn't care too much about this kind of thing, so he didn't take it to heart, and practiced calligraphy by himself on the table.

After finishing writing, he stood up straight and said, "Don't worry about it, I didn't want them to worship anyway."

"What kind of shit poetry fairy, I don't want to be a poet at all. This is the title they imposed on me. Now they take it back, it's very good."

Although Zhao Xinling knew this truth, she couldn't maintain her rationality when she heard others scold Li Fu.

She looked at Li Fu and said unconvinced: "Then what should we do, we can't let them scold you for nothing?"

"People can scold them if they like. Anyway, I did something they don't like. It's not impossible to let them vent." Li Fu said lightly.

When this matter was brought up, Zhao Xinling became even more confused.

"Don't tell me I haven't remembered yet, now I'm really curious, why on earth did you sell the food to those aristocratic families?"

Zhao Xinling couldn't bear the doubts in her heart, and asked Li Fu her own questions.

Li Fu smiled and said, "Wait for a few days, the result will come soon, and you will know everything by then."

"Yes." Zhao Xinling nodded, as long as Li Fu said this, she would be relieved.

Anyway, she had [-]% trust in Li Fu and absolutely had no doubts.

……

At this time, at the door of a bookstore in Chang'an City, a group of people were gathering here.

"Everyone, listen to me!"

A white-clothed scholar saw the chaos at the scene, so he said loudly, hoping to suppress their voices.

When the scene quieted down, the white-clothed scholar walked up to a high platform and said to the following:

"Everyone, I think you all already know that that so-called goddamn poet, he actually made a lot of money for the country, he really blinded us!"

"In the past, we regarded him as a saint, but now it seems that this person is a beast, not as good as a beast!"

"That's right!" Someone below echoed, "Li Fu is a damned beast, he doesn't deserve to be called a Poetry Immortal by us!"

"Let him die!"

Voices similar to this kind of criticism can be heard almost everywhere in Chang'an City.

Li Fu also often heard Zhao Xinling say it to him, but he didn't care anymore, anyway, he didn't feel any pain when others scolded him.

Today, the price of grain in Chang'an City has risen to 30 taels of silver per catty, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Now every household may be able to take out some food reserves.

However, when the stored food is used up, nine of them may starve to death. This is only a matter of time.

Although the imperial court is doing its best to relieve the disaster, it keeps taking out food from the treasury to relieve the victims.

However, these are just a drop in the bucket and cannot completely solve the problem.

These days, disaster victims from other places have been pouring into Chang'an City, and inside Chang'an City, many people are planning to move out of here.

Leaving this place, maybe they can find some way of life.

If they stay in the class, they may only have a dead end, which is almost a certainty.

In an attic not far away, several men in fine clothes surrounded the table with several plates of exquisite dishes.

The Patriarch of the Fan family, Fan Li, had the lowest status among these people, so he took the wine glass and poured wine for the others one by one.

"Come, come, everyone, drink this cup."

The people who can sit in this place are almost all people from famous families, and they all have a certain status.

If they were from the generation of Zhou Han and Wu Hai, they would not be qualified to sit here at all.

If their father came, there would be no problem sitting here.

Now, they are gathered here for one thing only, and that is to celebrate a beautiful thing that is about to happen.

This beautiful thing is that Li Fu, whom they hate, is about to lose his reputation, which is really too gratifying.

"That yellow-mouthed kid, relying on his own culture, even gave himself the title of 'Poetry Immortal'."

"Now, I will let him know that not everyone can afford the word 'immortal'."

When he spoke, his tone was full of sarcasm, and there was also some jealousy in it.

Fan Li said with a smile: "Brother Cui, why are you so angry? Anyway, this Li Fu will become notorious if he doesn't survive today."

"I don't know what's going on in his mind. It's really ridiculous that he would sell food to us."

"In the past, people always said that this Li Fu was extremely shrewd, but looking at it now, I think he is extremely stupid."

At this time, the Patriarch of the Song family said: "Everyone, we still want to discuss and discuss, what should we do about the food problem?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone fell silent.

In fact, this question is the most important question for them to gather here today.

It's just that no one wanted to mention it first, and they were all waiting for others to speak.
