Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng's lips curved into a smile full of meaning, as if telling the prologue of a history that had not yet been revealed. He responded calmly and forcefully: "The confusion in your hearts is actually related to the new news in our society. An important institution established is the Jingjiang Newspaper Company, which is about to change the world and people’s hearts.”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in the ears of everyone in the audience. Everyone's faces were instantly filled with astonishment, and their eyes were full of horror and disbelief. Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng quietly led Li Dexian to the crowd. His face was calm and solemn, as if he was revealing a huge secret: "Young master Li, who works side by side day after day and talks happily, is actually a very important person." Your Majesty, he is the current Crown Prince of Jingjiang Kingdom!"

These words were like a groundbreaking statement, making Yang Baixi and many scholars present dumbfounded. They stared blankly at the young talent who usually helped others in the streets and had won the hearts of the people. At this moment, it was revealed that he was the Crown Prince who had hidden his identity! Facing everyone's shocked eyes, Li Dexian still had a friendly and warm smile on his face, and responded calmly: "I originally wanted to walk in the world as a common people and feel the sufferings of the people. You don't need to be rigid because you know my true identity. Let’s get out of the red tape.”

Hearing this, everyone stood up from their knees as if waking up from a dream, with waves in their hearts. Being able to serve the prince was undoubtedly a major turning point in his official career. Who would pursue the imperial examination glory again? Where is the road? However, behind Li Dexian's smile, there was a hint of unnoticeable dissatisfaction. Deep in his heart, he thought to himself: I haven't fully shown myself yet, but you have surrendered to power so quickly? This phenomenon made him think deeply about the human condition.

Yang Baixi stood up suddenly, his eyes bright, full of expectation and curiosity. He cast an inquiring look at Lin Xiaofeng: "May I ask your true identity?" A faint but confident smile appeared on Lin Xiaofeng's face, and his tone He replied calmly and unhurriedly: "My surname is Lin Xiaofeng, and I hold an official position in the imperial court." As soon as he finished speaking, like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, the crowd fell into a dead silence. Everyone had different expressions, and there were complicated expressions in their eyes. They were shocked to find that the seemingly ordinary man in front of them was actually the infamous and controversial powerful official in the DPRK - Lin Xiaofeng!

Lin Xiaofeng keenly caught the strange looks around him and couldn't help but get furious. He asked sternly: "What do you mean by this? Do you have contempt for me?" This shout was like a thunderbolt, making everyone present feel fearful. Everyone was silent, and no one dared to respond easily.

Finally, Yang Baixi swallowed the fear in his heart and mustered up the courage to take the lead in apologizing: "I dare not! Mr. Lin, please forgive me for believing in the rumors from the outside world for a while. I only found out the truth today. I feel deeply ashamed and full of heart." Feeling sorry!"

After hearing what Yang Baixi said, everyone bowed their heads and apologized. Lin Xiaofeng's expression gradually softened, and there was a resolute and tenacious atmosphere between his brows. He shouted loudly, his voice resounding throughout the space like a bell: "In that case, it would be great if you could understand and accept my position. I have been outspoken throughout my life and dared to face the powerful forces in the court. For this I suffered Countless attacks by open guns and secret arrows. Those powerful people have slandered me. It is reasonable for you to misunderstand the rumors. However, it is not important. Everything I do is for the people of the world and for you. A broader and smoother career path, no matter how many grievances and misunderstandings I have to endure, is nothing to me. Let’s all get up, don’t be too restrained, and we should work together for the great cause of the country and the country.” After his voice fell, everyone stood up slowly. Complex emotions surged in their hearts, including understanding and admiration for Lin Xiaofeng, as well as deep thoughts on the future path.

After hearing this, everyone stood up from their seats one after another. They lowered their heads, with complex emotions intertwined on their faces, like soup with mixed flavors rolling in their hearts. They were moved and indignant at the same time. They had deep admiration for Mr. Lin's selflessness and tenacity. At the same time, they lamented the darkness of officialdom. A figure like Mr. Lin who was dedicated to the public and had lofty ideals was framed one after another. This reality made They sighed and were filled with anger.

Li Dexian's eyes quietly slid towards Lin Xiaofeng, full of subtle disdain and vigilance. He knew very well that Lin Xiaofeng was good at manipulating people's hearts. Not only did he use the pressure of women's rights and morality, but he might also be hiding something deeper that was not noticed by others. means. However, at this moment, Lin Xiaofeng completely ignored these strange looks. His voice was loud and firm, announcing their new identities: "From today on, you will all become reporters of Jingjiang Newspaper. You must devote all your enthusiasm and energy to In the great cause of the prince."

There was a slightly confused voice in the crowd, and someone mustered up the courage to ask: "Mr. Lin, what is a reporter?" Lin Xiaofeng responded with a hearty smile, and his voice echoed like a bell: "This is an excellent question! The so-called reporter , they are the eyes and conscience of society. They must go deep into the grassroots of the people, keenly capture every slight change and great change in daily life, write down these trivial matters or major events in detail, and then publish them daily through the medium of newspapers. To the public. We not only collect and write reports in person, but also solicit contributions from the public. After all selected articles are confirmed to be true and correct, they will also be carefully polished and typed for publication. The mission you shoulder is noble and arduous. It is to speak for the people. Expose the truth, protect justice, and rebuild a clear world.”

Regarding specific business operation details and work allocation, Lin Xiaofeng has arranged for professionals to conduct systematic training for them. He firmly believes that everyone here is a wise person and will be able to quickly grasp the key points in one day. It is inevitable that there will be mistakes at work, but don't be overly afraid, because mistakes themselves are a part of growth, and you need to forge ahead through constant error correction. In order to protect everyone's livelihood, each person will receive one tael of silver per month as a basic salary. Moreover, if an article written by a reporter can cause widespread concern or even a sensation in the society, there will be additional special rewards waiting for him. This award is not only a material encouragement, but also a spiritual affirmation for their continuous hard work and courage to reach new heights.

Under everyone's blazing gaze, an impatient scholar stepped forward and asked Lin Xiaofeng: "Mr. Lin, who is this special reward?" Hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng first laughed heartily, and then He slowly took out a treasure from his arms. It was shining and dazzling, instantly attracting everyone's attention. With a proud look on his face, he began to introduce: "This is a rare gemstone in the world - diamond. It is one of the most important items in His Royal Highness's private collection! According to the popularity and influence of the news you wrote, I am Corresponding diamonds will be awarded according to different levels. However, there is an iron rule. These diamonds cannot be kept in your hands for a long time and must be transferred to non-newspaper people within three days. At the same time, the subsequent reward system will also follow. Please wait and see for the adjustment.”

These words shocked the whole audience like a bolt from the blue, and the readers were immediately excited. It was hard to believe that this prize was so valuable and was actually a hot diamond in the capital. Recalling the "Heart of the Ocean" that sold for more than 2,000 taels of silver at the North Corridor Square back then, even if the market is less popular now, an ordinary diamond can easily sell for more than 2,000 taels. However, while everyone was excited, some people with keen minds also raised new questions: "Mr. Lin, why do you limit the sales to three days?" After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng's face turned solemn and solemn, and his words were full of power and peace. Decision: "Nothing else. These are the rules set by His Highness the Crown Prince himself. The Crown Prince's rules are iron rules. There is no need to elaborate on them. You should be able to understand the profound meaning contained in them."

At this moment, Li Dexian stood aside, smacking his lips softly. Although he was surprised by Lin Xiaofeng's ingenious approach, it was not surprising since he already knew his unique style. He watched all this in silence, but deep down he secretly admired Lin Xiaofeng's wisdom and courage.

････････････････････････････････
At dawn the next day, as the morning light faded, Lin Xiaofeng was like a dancer waving a baton in the center of the stage. His decision-making and power spread rapidly to every corner of the city like ripples. Under his impetus, reporters, like keen antennae, embarked on a journey of walking around the streets and digging for news. In the quiet and vibrant inner room of the newspaper office, Lin Xiaofeng sat firmly, his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes shining with wisdom. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the planning and layout of every newspaper content.

Newspapers carrying countless information are carefully divided into multiple sections, such as "Science Exploration", "Political Sunshine", "People's Livelihood" and "Celebrity Interviews", each of which is independent but blends with each other, just like a page. A vivid social picture. Among them, the "Political Sunshine" section is personally supervised by Lin Xiaofeng. He knows well that at this critical moment when the newspaper's influence is growing, the power of public opinion is enough to pry the heartstrings of officials in the DPRK and the Central Government, thus having a profound impact on the country's plans and people's lives. Influence. Although this move seemed impatient and risky, in the face of many factors that could not be accurately estimated, such as the unknown amount of food donations, uncertain time arrangements, and the time required for the materials to be transported to the south, Lin Xiaofeng understood that time did not wait for us, and he could only seize the opportunities that could make a difference. At this time point, try your best to fight.

However, in this complicated situation, Lin Xiaofeng is not eager to seek immediate results in the political section. His eyes are currently focused on the new field of "exploration science". There, there are endless secrets waiting to be revealed, and every unknown exploration may lead the entire society into a new cognitive dimension. He knows that the power of revealing the mysteries of science is equally powerful. It can not only enlighten people's wisdom, but also quietly change the course of the world. Therefore, Lin Xiaofeng decided to guide the public on this mysterious and challenging journey of scientific exploration in a more in-depth and lasting way.

Recently, the bizarre murder of an eminent monk at the White Horse Temple swept across the city like a huge storm. A batch of mysterious items under the banner of "monk's blood" suddenly appeared in the market, becoming a hot topic in the streets and alleys overnight. However, how can there be so much blood of monks in the world for sale? The crazy hype in the market has pushed this matter to an incredible level. Most of the products circulating on the market are fake and shoddy products of unknown origin. Ignorant people were deceived into buying drinks at high prices, completely ignoring the unexpected diseases that this might bring, and no one thought about the contamination and potential dangers in the blood. This made Lin Xiaofeng feel deeply worried.

The night fell and the candlelight flickered. In the dim light and shadow, Lin Xiaofeng looked focused, and his wise eyes shone firmly under the candlelight. He held the langhao pen tightly in his hand, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote the eye-catching title "Science of Discovery, First Issue: The Curse of the White Horse Temple" on the yellowed paper, intending to reveal this secret from a rational and scientific perspective. The truth behind the incident has the whole city in panic.

At dawn the next day, all the streets and alleys in the capital were already bustling with activity. Groups of newsboys carrying heavy satchels arrived as scheduled. They walked in the footsteps of the rising sun and shuttled among the bustling crowds. Loud hawking sounds came one after another: "Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! Prince Daily publishes "Prince Daily" today. It covers all the big and small news in the city. Each copy is only sold for five cents!" The scholar and many people heard the news and gathered around curiously. Although most ordinary people could only stop and watch with hesitation on their faces because they were illiterate, and did not dare to easily take out the coins in their waists to buy this freshly published newspaper, they still had curiosity about the unknown and hope for justice in their hearts. Hope is equally hot.

The crowd was bustling, and an old man with stern eyes and long hair pushed aside the crowd and pushed forward with a staggering but determined step. His weathered face was full of curiosity and inquiry. He leaned forward slightly and asked the newsboy who was hawking in a hoarse but powerful voice: "Young man, what is that on your stall? Why is it related to His Highness the Crown Prince?" The newsboy heard the old man ask. He spoke with a sly yet alert smile, waving a newspaper in his hand, eloquent and easy to respond: "Old man, this is the hottest new product in the city today - newspaper! It is updated daily and records the city. Every ink mark in the streets and alleys is personally supervised by His Royal Highness. The quality is unparalleled. Look, it only costs five cents per serving. The price is as affordable as a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and the supply is limited. There is no such store in this village, everyone hurry up and buy it.”

As soon as this statement came out, there was a wave of discussion in the crowd. Everyone took out the copper plates around their waists, for fear of missing this piece of paper carrying current affairs. The scholar stood out from the crowd, with a pale face and a passion for knowledge in his eyes. He took the freshly-baked newspaper, and a faint fragrance of ink hit his nostrils, which was fascinating. He couldn't wait to unfold the newspaper, as if holding a living historical scroll, and read it carefully. Beside him, his best friend Brother Liu was not far behind. The two of them read the same newspaper side by side and immersed themselves in the world between the lines.

After a moment, the scholar raised his head, with an indifferent but deeply interesting smile on his face, and whispered softly to Brother Liu beside him: "Brother Liu, this newspaper is really unique. Look at the 'Political Sunshine' section. It clearly reflects the various dynamics in the court like a mirror, and every detail is vividly depicted." After hearing this, Brother Liu also focused his attention on the "Exploration Science" column and browsed quickly. After a few lines of writing, he couldn't help but sigh: "It is true. The wording of this article is sincere and sincere. It mentions that His Majesty called Lin Xiaofeng a beloved minister when the affairs of the country were complicated. It shows that he is deeply concerned about the country's people's livelihood issues, even at night." I can't sleep. All the officials in the imperial court are also affected by the current severe food disaster situation, and they are thinking about how to resolve this crisis that is related to the peace and prosperity of the country..."

Brother Liu lowered his head and fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt loomed in his eyes. He spoke slowly, and his tone was calm but full of inquiry: "The specific actions and attitudes of the officials of the imperial court mentioned in the article do not seem to be described in detail, and although the words and sentences used are easy to understand, they are too bland and unremarkable. Is it written by His Royal Highness?" After the words fell, the two people quietly exchanged a subtle look, as if a feeling of being teased passed through their hearts. However, they were not discouraged. Instead, they flipped through the newspapers in their hands more attentively, trying to find answers between the lines. At this moment, a line of eye-catching and philosophical headlines illuminated their sights like a beacon - "Gift to students all over the world: Chicken Soup for the Soul". This section is filled with short sentences that directly touch people's hearts and inspire morale. sentence:

"No one in this world can face difficulties and challenges for you. Only by constantly improving yourself can you be independent in the world."

“Only through the trials and tribulations of life can we truly understand what perseverance and strength are.”

"Those who are afraid of hardships and obstacles will be trapped in difficulties throughout their lives and find it difficult to escape; but those who are courageous will always move forward tenaciously and never stop on the bright road despite toiling half their lives."

These concise and profound sentences are like seeds, sowing hope and strength in the hearts of readers, making people feel filled with emotion. They also add a bit of depth and weight to this seemingly ordinary newspaper, as if it It is no longer just a medium for transmitting information, but also a spiritual home that inspires people and sharpens their aspirations.

The moment they looked at each other again, their eyes were like ignited fire, shining with excitement and exhilaration. The light reflected the warm resonance deep in their hearts. Afterwards, they lowered their heads in tacit understanding, concentrating as if they were carving a rare treasure, savoring the fresh content of the newspapers in their hands word for word. In the streets and alleys of the capital, similar scenes continue to emerge, and similar plots are staged in every corner: people eagerly absorb all kinds of news and information in just one day, and the freshness and excitement of seeing new things for the first time. The feeling of satisfaction is as joyful as the holidays.

In the past, people might only be able to pass the time with poems and songs, but in today's ever-changing era, an endless stream of fresh stories are blooming like flowers, providing people with hot discussions after dinner. This change undoubtedly makes people ecstatic and energetic. Be inspired.

In the streets and alleys, various vivid stories are like surging undercurrents. Among them are the startling glimpses left by the explorers in front of the widow's door at night, and the heroic deeds of the butcher who rescued the drowning man in danger. Such small towns There are countless anecdotes, seven or eight in number. However, among the many topics, there is one gripping suspense drama that stands out and attracts the attention and heated discussion of the people in the city, that is - the cursed White Horse Temple.

This ancient temple, full of mystery, is like a magnet that deeply attracts the attention and curiosity of the people in the capital, leading their thoughts to unknown abyss. Countless people gathered around the pre-invited newspaper readers, forming circles and circles like a colony of ants searching for honey. They held their voices and held their breath for fear of missing any word. It is said that in the half-finished work written by the author whose pen name is Lin Xiaofeng, the appalling and horrific consequences unfold slowly like a picture scroll: people suffering from strange diseases come one after another, neonatal deformities occur frequently, and some scholars even suffer from incompetence. Shocking remarks such as Shen's mental decline caused by being stained with the blood of eminent monks, and even the fact that the court would never hire him because of this, are like thunder, splitting open people's peaceful lives and hitting their hearts.

Although the truth has not yet unveiled its hazy veil, anger has already spread among the people. Like enraged lions, they have directed their indignation at the White Horse Temple, which seems peaceful but hides a deep crisis. They are just waiting for the answer to the mystery. At that moment, it will be revealed whether the voice of justice can cleanse away the evil and restore the peace of the past.

For many scholars who are immersed in the vast sea of ​​poetry and books, their attention to the new "Chicken Soup for the Soul" section in newspapers has suddenly soared. Among them, Lin Xiaofeng's article adapted from "Preface to Ma Sheng in Dongyang" is particularly eye-catching. The original work is vast and cannot be read at a glance. Lin Xiaofeng relied on his tenacious memory to retell half of the article intermittently. However, due to limited memory, he was unable to completely rewrite the entire article. Therefore, he sent people to Yangqu County to search for insiders, filled in the remaining parts based on his memories, and carefully polished the words to ensure that the overall artistic conception still retained the style of the original work despite the splicing, and finally it was published.

When this painstaking work was presented to the public, many people's views on Lin Xiaofeng underwent a subversive change. The character who was originally labeled as cunning and cunning instantly became vivid and three-dimensional, transforming into a young man from a poor background who braved the harsh winter and heat, endured cold and starvation in order to pursue knowledge. Even in the winter when dripping water turned to ice and his hands and feet were stiff and numb from the cold, he persisted in studying hard day and night.

People were all moved by this and expressed a lot of emotion: "If such a persevering and determined young man is really forced by life to become a traitor in the eyes of the world in the future, how can we bear to criticize him for his original choice? After all, , in such a difficult life, how can he have the extra energy to blame others? What's more, the aphorisms and aphorisms in Lin Xiaofeng's articles are clearly the crystallization of his true insights and wisdom after experiencing life. Can a fake person really wear the hat of a traitor? Even if it is true, this sincerity and persistence are enough to move the audience to tears. "

At this moment, in Jingjiang Daily, Li Dexian was holding the latest issue of the newspaper and complaining repeatedly. "Brother Lin, I'm not being picky, but what kind of practical effect can these so-called 'spiritual ginseng soups' you write bring? Aren't they occupying the precious space of the newspaper in vain?" He pointed his fingers frequently as he spoke. The location is in the column called "Soul Ginseng Soup".

Lin Xiaofeng was not eager to refute, but turned his head, looked at Li Dexian calmly but deeply, and asked: "Has Your Highness ever thought deeply about the profound meaning behind these words? Among the students in the world, there are certainly many who are proud of their achievements. But aren’t there more souls who are troubled and frustrated and longing for comfort?”

After listening, Li Dexian pondered for a moment and responded with a slight hesitation: "It is true that there are many frustrated people in the world, but how does this have anything to do with the value of the article?" Lin Xiaofeng has not yet given the answer, but his eyes and smile seem to have already given him the answer. This question has reserved a deep foreshadowing, waiting for Li Dexian to reveal the various aspects of people's livelihood and the warmth and warmth of the world behind this "spiritual ginseng soup".

There was a touch of indifference on Lin Xiaofeng's face, as calm as the surface of a lake in spring, but his eyes were like the twinkling stars in the deep night sky, containing the light of determination and wisdom. He spoke slowly, and there was a force that could not be ignored in his words: "It is precisely because frustrated people are everywhere in this world, like stars, so this section was born in time, specially designed for them. Desire The first strategy to gain trust among people and establish a fair reputation in the world is to widely contact the public, especially those scholars who have been repeatedly hit by imperial examinations and live in the cynicism of others. We use words like ginseng soup to warm their tiredness. The unbearable soul is like the gentle and nourishing soup nourishing the weak body bit by bit, hoping to awaken the dormant vitality deep in their hearts and make it full of vitality again. "

However, beneath this calm surface, Lin Xiaofeng's move concealed his more profound planning and determination. Since those scholars with strong backgrounds often relied on the powerful to maliciously attack and slander him, in order to wash away his increasingly dusty reputation, he had to find another way and devote himself to winning over those who were also powerless but suffered equally. The recognition and support of the majority of students who are hardworking in life. As a result, he went all out to create "Soul Ginseng Soup", which is like a good medicine for soul healing. He firmly believes that only sincerity can touch people's hearts. Such sincerity will surely resonate in people's hearts, and ultimately reap the rewards. Unexpected effect.

In the Jingjiang country's literary world, there are certainly many inspiring and morale-boosting works, but in Lin Xiaofeng's eyes, most of these works are too restrained and implicit, like bland tea, unable to truly touch the softest and softest parts of people's hearts. The deepest emotional zones. In contrast, he carefully selected and absorbed the essence of 21st century literature to create a new "spiritual ginseng soup" that combines ancient and modern times. Its high concentration and strong flavor are like delicacies. As soon as you take it into your mouth, you will feel the mellow and delicious taste. Compared with the ordinary chicken soup commonly seen on the market, it is undoubtedly a world of difference. Once such a feast of words has been tasted, it will leave a deep imprint in the reader's heart, leaving people with endless aftertaste and unable to let it go for a long time. It is as if they have experienced a spiritual baptism, thus gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation of life.

It was night, and the lights of the newspaper office were as bright as stars, and Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian were busy among them. The lights reflected their focused and determined eyes, like a torch lighting up the dark night. At this moment, a newspaper sales report was presented to Lin Xiaofeng, and he couldn't help but be shocked by its content: In just half a day, the first edition of the newspaper issued today had been sold out across the city, and the market feedback was even more astonishing, whether it was Scholars, farmers, craftsmen and merchants all showed great interest in this newspaper and were eagerly looking forward to the release of the second edition tomorrow.

At the same time, Yang Baixi and others were still working hard in the newspaper office, their pen tips flying on the paper, like musicians plucking the strings, playing the melody of the times. It was not until late at night that they completed the press releases needed for tomorrow and quickly sent them to the printing house for printing.

Lin Xiaofeng stared at the report in his hand and was filled with emotion. Then he stood up and inspected the reporters present. Seeing that everyone was tired but energetic, like a team of heroic warriors, he encouraged loudly: "Brothers, your efforts are the stage of life. Whether you can win the applause and praise of the world depends entirely on your diligence. Or not. If you slack off a little today, you may not be able to recover tomorrow. I want to ask you here, do you feel happy? You know, happiness does not fall from the sky, but comes from our hard work and dedication every moment." His voice echoed in the empty newspaper office, seeming to awaken the sleeping power in every corner.

When the reporters heard Lin Xiaofeng's words, they instantly became excited like a lit torch. They all raised their heads, their faces filled with unconcealable excitement, and responded in unison: "Happiness!" Lin Xiaofeng's lips showed a trace of satisfaction. With a smile, I secretly admired: This group of interns is really full of fighting spirit, and their enthusiasm and enthusiasm are very admirable. He announced with a bit of pride: "Very good! In the future, I will definitely customize mattresses for you so that you can rest in the newspaper office when you are tired. However, work is important, and body care cannot be ignored."
