Chapter 141

In the courtyard where the sun shines slantingly, Lin Xiaofeng's expression is relaxed and at ease, just like the free-flying bird, unfettered. His eyes sparkled with wisdom, as if he could see everything in the world. When he caught a glimpse of Shan Yuhu walking slowly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There was a bit of teasing and a bit of confidence hidden in that smile.

He turned to face Shan Yuhu and said in a calm and firm voice: "Wang Yansun is also here today. Your arrival is really just the right time. Since the patient with intestinal carbuncle has recovered, you still need to continue to treat it, and the gambling situation is also But there is an end." There was an unquestionable majesty in his words, as if everything was under his control.

As Lin Xiaofeng finished speaking, the wise men around him gathered around, their eyes focused on the young doctor, as if they were all waiting to witness this moment.

Hearing this, Shan Yuhu had a trace of doubt on his face. He was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Although the intestinal carbuncle has been cured, who can say for sure whether the patient's life will be worry-free? Maybe tomorrow Are you going to die?" There was a hint of uneasiness in his voice, as if he didn't fully trust Lin Xiaofeng's medical skills.

When the patient heard these words, his face turned pale and he whined again, as if he was in pain again.

Upon seeing this, Tan Haoshou quickly stepped forward to explain. His voice was gentle but firm, soothing the patient's emotions. Lin Xiaofeng chuckled, his eyes shining with confidence, as if he was confident about everything.

He said calmly: "I have already been prepared. Wang Yansun's medical skills are not only reflected in this case, but all the previous patients are also here." After that, he nodded to Wang Yansun, who understood and then turned and left.

After a while, Wang Yansun came back with two former death row inmates. The wounds of these two people have healed, their faces are filled with healthy smiles, and they are in excellent spirits. Lin Xiaofeng stepped forward and gently opened the clothes of one of them, revealing the healed wound. He pointed to the wound and said to everyone: "This man underwent surgery before the patient. Now he has fully recovered and can move freely."

As he said that, he also asked the prisoner to perform a running and jumping performance, and he was just like a normal person. The officials gathered around and were all amazed, with expressions of shock and admiration on their faces.

When Lin Xiaofeng saw this, he said sternly: "I have spoken my word and I will keep my promise. However, the Patriarch Association must be supervised by Jin Yiwei to prevent anyone from violating the rules."

Lin Xiaofeng said: "You need to exchange good recipes, and only after they are verified to be effective can you learn. The Patriarch Association is very good at treating intestinal carbuncle disease, but it is a pity that the secret recipe is hidden. Take this opportunity to share the good recipe. , make progress together.”

Upon hearing this, the ministers shouted angrily, and Emperor Jingjiang was also furious: "Shut up! Shameless old thief!" His voice was like thunder, echoing in the courtyard.

After Emperor Jingjiang left, the atmosphere in the courtyard became relaxed. Everyone gathered around him, wanting to make friends with Lin Xiaofeng and discuss new medical techniques. Lin Xiaofeng agreed with a smile and started communicating with them.

Shan Yuhu said in shock: "I would like to admit defeat, and I will publish a report when I get back." There was a hint of trembling in his voice, as if he had been intimidated by Lin Xiaofeng's momentum.

When Shan Yuhu and Doctor Guo heard this, their hearts trembled. They knew that Lin Xiaofeng was warning them and telling them that their behavior had been seen through.

In this sunny courtyard, a thrilling contest has just ended. But Lin Xiaofeng, this young doctor, has used his wisdom and courage to win the final victory. He stood in the courtyard, looking at the sky in the distance, his heart full of expectations and confidence for the future.

Emperor Jingjiang nodded and said: "You will handle the follow-up matters properly. Today I have an eye-opener. Wang Yansun and his assistants are all talents and can enter the palace to teach medical skills. The method of disembowelment, if there is no future trouble, is really the best choice for the people of the world. blessing."

Then, Emperor Jingjiang turned to Lin Xiaofeng, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Xiaofeng, I am very satisfied with your performance today. Your medical skills are superb and your integrity is a rare talent."

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, his expression changed slightly. He thought to himself: Could this old thief want to default on his debt? At this moment, Emperor Jingjiang's voice sounded: "The result is already clear. As an elder, you should admit defeat. In this round, Yangqu Medical Center wins, no need to say more."

When Lin Xiaofeng saw this, he still kept smiling, as if everything was under his control. He continued: "Although Wang Yansun is the leader of the Patriarch Association, his prestige is not enough to convince the public. You, Shan Yuhu, also have a certain influence in the Patriarch Association, why not you continue to be the leader, and Wang Yansun serves as deputy Guild leader, how about helping you manage the Patriarch Guild?"

Shan Yuhu nodded quickly and accepted the order, not daring to show any slightness. He knew that his fate was firmly in Lin Xiaofeng's hands, and he could only act obediently according to his wishes.

Shanyu Lake is like falling clouds, and I am overjoyed. He felt like he had found a big deal, and his heart was filled with gratitude and joy. He nodded quickly and accepted the order, expressing his willingness to comply with Master Lin's arrangements.

Shan Yuhu and Imperial Physician Guo looked at each other with an ominous premonition in their hearts. They knew that Lin Xiaofeng was going to punish them more severely. However, they could not resist and could only accept this fact silently.

There was an unquestionable majesty in Emperor Jingjiang's voice, as if everything was under his control. Shan Yuhu glared at Emperor Jingjiang and said with a smile: "How can you say victory? Is this the place for you to speak?" His words were full of provocation.

Shan Yuhu was even more shocked. He didn't expect Lin Xiaofeng to be so well prepared. His face turned blue and white, as if he couldn't accept this fact. However, thinking that he was about to lose his position as leader, he said unwillingly: "Although his life is safe, the severe pain in his lower body is unbearable and hurts his roots. How can it be regarded as humane? Besides, how can parents who have suffered from physical and skin damage be easily damaged? ? I suggest that both parties send the patients to the market and let the people judge. This is only fair! "

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the two of them with a sneer on his lips. He already has a plan in mind, and he will make these two people pay the price they deserve. He said calmly: "You two brothers cooperate very well. If His Majesty were not present today, you might not be able to escape punishment."

Lin Xiaofeng replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is overly complimentary. I am just trying my best." His voice was calm and humble, as if all this was what he should do.

Shan Yuhu was extremely frightened at this moment. He was trembling all over, as if he was shocked by an invisible force. He quickly knelt down to apologize, with a hint of crying in his voice: "Your Majesty, I realize that I was wrong, and I beg your Majesty to have mercy!"

Shan Yuhu was shocked and wondered if he had heard wrongly. He asked in a trembling voice: "What...what's the price?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and there seemed to be countless deep meanings hidden in that smile. He spoke slowly, his voice calm and firm: "Now that the matter between you and Wang Yansun has been resolved, we should turn the hostility into friendship and shake hands to make peace. Tomorrow, it will be published in the newspaper and say that the two parties have reconciled and will not interfere with each other from now on. They will be well. "

Shan Yuhu was frightened when he heard this. He felt as if he was being pushed away by a huge force that he could not resist. He responded in a trembling voice: "Thank you for the compliment, sir, but... I'm afraid I won't be able to do the job."

Emperor Jingjiang's words made Shan Yuhu and Imperial Physician Guo lower their heads, their hearts filled with regret and shame.

He glared at Shan Yuhu angrily and shouted: "You idiot! Why don't you kneel down when you see your majesty!" His voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if he was extremely indignant at Shan Yuhu's behavior.

Imperial Physician Guo also saw Lin Xiaofeng's determination and majesty. Although he was a little unwilling, he could only thank Lin Xiaofeng a lot. He understood that in front of this adult, any resistance would be futile.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled again and said, "I have something for you. When Wang Yansun joins the Patriarch Association, the new medical techniques and penicillin at Yangqu Medical Center will be open to you. What do you think?"

Shan Yuhu was submissive and didn't know how to respond. He felt as if he was being pushed away by a huge force that he couldn't resist. He looked up at Lin Xiaofeng and saw that Master Lin still had that faint smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.

Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand gently, interrupting his words. He said: "You don't need to worry too much. I am confident that you can do the job. Moreover, I heard that anyone in Kyoto who wants to open a medical clinic or study under famous doctors must first go to the Patriarch Association to do some research. Is this true? "

Lin Xiaofeng smiled calmly and said: "These rules are of no importance. From today on, when new medical institutions are set up, the Patriarch Association is not allowed to interfere; newcomers who want to join the association and study are not allowed to be induced. The dispute between the New and the Ancient should end here. You should concentrate on your medical skills. The view of Shaosheng portal."

He took a step back and said, "Are you willing to admit defeat today?" There was an unquestionable majesty in his voice, as if everything was under his control.

Shan Yuhu stood up at this time, but there was a faint odor coming from his body. He smiled awkwardly, trying to hide his uneasiness. However, Lin Xiaofeng had no intention of letting him go.

Lin Xiaofeng chuckled and said, "I, Jin Yiwei, are not just for a living!" It turned out that he had already conducted an in-depth investigation into the details of Shan Yuhu and Imperial Physician Guo, and even sent people to investigate the way the Patriarch Association treated patients.

After the others dispersed, only Shan Yuhu and Doctor Guo remained in place. The two of them looked at each other with an ominous premonition in their hearts. They knew that their actions today had offended Emperor Jingjiang, and they would probably not have an easy time in the future.

Shan Yuhu was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't believe his ears. He stared at Lin Xiaofeng with his eyes widened, feeling strong shock and uneasiness in his heart. Doctor Guo on the side was also shocked. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng and secretly guessed the true intention of this adult.

When Shan Yuhu heard that Master Lin was going to arrange for him, his heart skipped a beat, as if an invisible black hand was tightly strangling his throat, making it difficult to breathe. He hurriedly raised his head and looked at the majestic Mr. Lin in front of him, his eyes full of fear and uneasiness. His voice trembled, and he tried to remain calm as he said: "Master Lin, you...what are your plans? Shan Yuhu, a common man, must comply with it."

Doctor Guo said in panic: "Does Master Lin already know?" There was a tremor in his voice, as if he had a premonition of the impending doom.

Emperor Jingjiang looked at Shan Yuhu and Imperial Physician Guo with a trace of disgust in his eyes. He said coldly: "You two, one is arrogant and the other is cunning, which is really disgusting. I don't want to pursue today's matter anymore, but you must remember that medical skills should put saving people first. , rather than fighting for fame and fortune.”

Shan Yuhu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He said: "There is indeed such a rule, but it is also to restrain those quack doctors and prevent them from corrupting medical practice."

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he felt happy. He knew that this was Emperor Jingjiang's recognition of their medical skills and an expectation for their future. He quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Before he finished speaking, a figure suddenly rushed out from downstairs, knelt down in front of Emperor Jingjiang, and said in a trembling voice: "I didn't know that the Holy Master was here, please forgive me!" When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Imperial Physician Guo. He knelt on the ground, his head lowered so much that it almost touched the ground, his voice full of fear and uneasiness.

Lin Xiaofeng shook his finger and said, "Don't worry, since you have surrendered, I have other arrangements for you." There was an unfathomable light in his eyes that made people shudder.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and waved his hand, telling them to leave. Then he said to Shan Yuhu: "You can bring some intestinal carbuncle patients to Yangqu Medical Center, and we will discuss treatment strategies together."

Shan Yuhu quickly agreed and retreated. He knew that his fate was firmly in Lin Xiaofeng's hands, and he could only act obediently according to his wishes. Although he had some reluctance and doubts in his heart, he did not dare to show it at all.

Wang Yansun looked at Shan Yuhu's leaving figure, his heart filled with reluctance and doubt. He asked: "Master, how can we easily hand it over to others after years of hard work?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled calmly and said: "What they know is only superficial, so what's the point? Only Yangqu County has the ability to produce penicillin in batches. Moreover, glassware is rare in the outside world, and they can't imitate it at all. You should recruit more talents, and more Establish a medical clinic to absorb the essence of ancient medicine in order to make progress.”

Wang Yansun obeyed the order silently. He knew that although Lin Xiaofeng's words were harsh, they were true. Although their Patriarch Association is powerful, it really cannot compare with Yangqu Medical Center in terms of medical skills and pharmaceuticals. Although he was unwilling to do so, he could only accept this reality.

Lin Xiaofeng returned to the princess mansion and lived a carefree life. He no longer interfered with the affairs of the Patriarch Association, but occasionally listened to Wang Yansun's reports. He knew that he had control of the situation and the Patriarch Association could only act according to his wishes.

····························
June is here in a blink of an eye, and the weather is hot. Works on the institute and college are progressing rapidly and will soon be put into use. Although Lin Xiaofeng is busy with official duties, he still does not forget his personal love. He often took time to accompany Li Hanmiao, and the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper.

On this day of rest, Lin Xiaofeng entered the palace with the good news. He happily told the princess and the emperor that Li Hanmiao was pregnant. The princess and the emperor were overjoyed when they heard this and congratulated them on their new life. Lin Xiaofeng was also extremely happy. He knew that he was about to have a complete family, and his heart was full of expectation and happiness.

In the garden of the Princess Mansion, Lin Xiaofeng walked with Li Hanmiao. The sun shines on them through the gaps in the leaves, warm and bright. They held hands and talked about their future life, their hearts full of sweetness and expectation. Lin Xiaofeng looked at Li Hanmiao's slightly bulging abdomen, and felt a strong feeling of fatherly love in her heart. He knew that he was going to be a father and that this was the best moment of his life.

As the days passed, Li Hanmiao's belly became bigger and bigger, and Lin Xiaofeng became busier and busier. Not only does he have to handle official duties, but he also has to take care of Li Hanmiao and the upcoming child. However, he never felt it was hard, instead he felt it was a kind of happiness and satisfaction.

Finally one day, Li Hanmiao's stomach began to hurt. Lin Xiaofeng nervously stood by the bed, holding her hand and giving her encouragement and comfort. After a long wait and hard work, the child was finally born successfully. It was a healthy and cute boy. Lin Xiaofeng looked at him, and his heart was filled with joy and satisfaction.

From then on, Lin Xiaofeng's life became more fulfilling and happy. He has his own family and children, and also has more goals and pursuits in life. He knows that there is still a long way to go, but he has the confidence and courage to face all challenges and difficulties. Because he knows that he is no longer a lonely person, but a man with a family and responsibilities.

Lin Xiaofeng, although his name is not well-known in the capital, it still carries a bit of a vague legend. He is not the kind of person who can make big waves, but in his own unique way, he can always make ripples beyond people's expectations. Today, he actually dared to enter the palace privately, empty-handed, like the breeze in the mountains, carefree, see no wrongdoing, hear no wrongdoing, that kind of sincerity is really rare to see.

Lin Xiaofeng knew in his heart that in this palace, the rules were as big as the sky. One wrong step could lead to catastrophe. But he was such a stubborn person, and he felt that love was like a bud in early spring, very delicate, yet full of vitality, and had to be carefully cared for. So, he prepared a small gift. Although it was not something valuable, it showed his deep feelings. He planned to go to the princess's mansion first, and then go to the palace to see the emperor.

Today coincides with the holiday, and the atmosphere in the palace is much more relaxed. The officials took off their usual heavy official uniforms and put on light blouses. They walked around the palace as if they were walking in their own yard. The people also put on new clothes, with smiles on their faces, enjoying this rare leisure time. As for Lin Xiaofeng, he was wearing a pure cotton short-sleeved shirt with Jingjiang's logo embroidered on it. He looked particularly eye-catching when walking among the crowd. He had a calm gait and a calm demeanor, as if the palace compound was his own backyard.

Along the way, Lin Xiaofeng found out that the emperor was enjoying the cool air in the cool hall today, so he walked straight towards the cool hall. Outside the Liangdian, there are green trees and a gentle breeze, making it a good place to cool down. As he was walking, he met Li Dexian. This Li Dexian was also an old friend of his. He had just given birth to a son and was extremely happy. When the two met, they were like old friends they hadn't seen for many years, congratulating each other and chatting happily.

Lin Xiaofeng took out the gift he had prepared long ago from his sleeve - a striped short-sleeved shirt and handed it to Li Dexian. When Li Dexian saw the gift, his eyes lit up and he said repeatedly: "Good stuff, good stuff!" As he said that, he put on new clothes, looking like a young boy.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Lin Xiaofeng continued walking towards Liangdian. He passed through palace gates one after another, walked through palace gardens, and finally came to the front of Liang Palace. I saw that the palace was cool and pleasant, and the emperor was sitting on the couch, closing his eyes and relaxing, as if he was enjoying this rare quiet time. Lin Xiaofeng stepped forward and saluted, and the emperor opened his eyes. Seeing him arriving, a smile appeared on his face, as if he was seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

Lin Xiaofeng took the opportunity to present the striped and spotted short-sleeved shirt prepared for the emperor. When the emperor saw it, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he had discovered some treasure. He took the short sleeves, looked at them carefully, then nodded and praised: "What a unique thing, I am very happy with it." After saying that, he ordered people to change clothes and put on the new clothes. After the emperor put on new clothes, he looked refreshed, as if he was ten years younger.

The emperor summoned the prince and informed him about the gift from Lin Xiaofeng. The prince was very happy after hearing this and quickly thanked Lin Xiaofeng. The emperor asked again: "Have you ever seen the son that the palace maid is carrying?" The prince replied: "I haven't seen it yet, but I heard that he is a handsome palace maid." After hearing this, the emperor nodded and said, "That's right. If she is pregnant by a palace maid, then let’s call her Liangdi.” As he said that, he looked at Lin Xiaofeng again, his eyes full of admiration.

Lin Xiaofeng stood aside, listening to the conversation between the emperor and the prince, feeling secretly happy in his heart. He knew that instead of causing any trouble, his entry into the palace this time had actually contributed to a happy event. He was filled with emotion, feeling that although the rules in this palace were strict, people's hearts could be connected. Just like the buds in early spring, although they are delicate, they can bloom into their most beautiful glory as long as they are cared for carefully.

When Emperor Jingjiang heard the good news, his heart felt as warm as the spring breeze blowing. The smile on his face was like a newly blooming flower. There was an indescribable joy and expectation in that smile, as if a farmer was looking forward to the autumn harvest. He turned his head slightly and asked Lin Xiaofeng beside him softly: "Is the fetus a boy or a girl?" Those words were full of tenderness and care, as if his heart had been filled with this unknown joy.

Lin Xiaofeng was secretly happy when he saw Emperor Jingjiang being so happy. He knew that this was a good time to propose his plan. So, he smiled slightly and replied: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The gender of the fetus will not be known until after birth. However, I have some good news, which I would like to share with Your Majesty."

When Emperor Jingjiang heard this, a curious light flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, his eyes full of expectation. He said: "Oh? What's the joy again? Say it quickly."

When Lin Xiaofeng saw this, he felt confident. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Wei Chen's wife also has good news."

Emperor Jingjiang was shocked when he heard this. His eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He asked in a trembling voice: "Is Hanmiao also happy?" His words were full of excitement and joy, as if his heart had been pounding by the sudden good news.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, and said, "I didn't know until the day before yesterday, so I went to the palace immediately to announce the good news."

When Emperor Jingjiang heard this, he was very happy. He stood up and walked around the hall, his steps brisk and powerful, as if he wanted to convey his joyful mood through his steps. Lin Xiaofeng followed him, looking at his cheerful back, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Emperor Jingjiang walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around, laughed and said, "Double happiness comes to our door, this is a blessing from heaven!" He patted Lin Xiaofeng's shoulder and said, "I will give you thousands of pieces of brocade. , 100 acres of fertile land were allocated from the imperial village. He was given supplements in the palace, and Hanmiao was ordered to take good care of him, and he was not to be touched lightly again to ensure his health. "

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he felt extremely grateful. He quickly knelt down to thank him and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." However, he immediately remembered the purpose of his trip, so he added, "However, I have already prepared all the things needed by the princess's palace. The reward is really not worth it." Dare to do it.”

When Emperor Jingjiang heard this, he glared at him and said, "This reward is for Hanmiao, what does it have to do with you! Don't say anything more."

When Lin Xiaofeng saw this, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to bow his head and say yes.

Emperor Jingjiang sat down again, with the smile on his face still as bright as before. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng, his eyes flashing with indescribable joy and satisfaction. He said: "You have finally made me worry-free. This double happiness is really a blessing."

Lin Xiaofeng was secretly happy, knowing that his plan had been approved by Emperor Jingjiang. He raised his head and looked at Emperor Jingjiang, his heart filled with respect and gratitude.

At this time, Li Dexian was also standing by. Seeing Emperor Jingjiang so happy, he was secretly proud of himself. He glanced at Lin Xiaofeng and motioned for him to give a gift. Lin Xiaofeng nodded slightly, knowing that this was a good time for him to propose his plan. So, he took out the memorial from his sleeve, presented it with both hands in front of Emperor Jingjiang and said: "Your Majesty, the research institute and college are nearly completed and can be put into use."

Emperor Jingjiang took the memorial and saw that the handwriting on the memorial was neat and organized. He read carefully, and the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a serious and serious expression. While he was reading the contents of the memorial, he was thinking about its meaning and impact.

After a long time, Emperor Jingjiang raised his head, looked at Lin Xiaofeng and asked: "What do you mean by this basic class, one book and two books?"

Lin Xiaofeng heard this and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this classification is for the convenience of teaching. Newly recruited students from the private sector who have weak foundations will enter the basic class first. After passing the exam, they can be promoted to one class, and they will be promoted step by step, and finally reach the junior college. Graduation thesis Those who pass or have inventions can join the Royal Academy or stay as teachers at the school.”

Emperor Jingjiang nodded to express his understanding. He asked again: "But if there are people with outstanding talents, they can also be promoted?"

Lin Xiaofeng replied: "That's right. Your Majesty is wise."

After hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang pondered for a moment and said: "The plan is detailed, you can start to implement it."

Lin Xiaofeng was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." However, he then remembered another important thing, so he said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that requires your support."

Emperor Jingjiang looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to say: "The common people belong to different households and perform their own duties. However, after being trained by the academy, they need to be redistributed according to their talents and aspirations. The minister is afraid that this will cause disapproval in the DPRK and China, so I sincerely ask Your Majesty to grant the enrolled students the opportunity to change their household classification so that they can enter school with peace of mind.”

Emperor Jingjiang looked troubled when he heard this. He knew that the household system was an ancestral system and had been in place since ancient times. A single move could affect the whole body. This matter was indeed difficult. He thought for a long time and then said: "Since the colleges are divided into categories, why not just select students from various professions?"

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, his heart sank. He knew that this was Emperor Jingjiang's tactful rejection of his request. However, he was not willing to give up, so he said: "Your Majesty, this move is too rigid and inefficient. There is a saying among the people that a person's endowment is not determined by his birth. The establishment of research institutes and colleges is to select talents with outstanding talents. . If this continues, this matter will be difficult to handle.”

Emperor Jingjiang frowned upon hearing this, obviously thinking about this issue. He rubbed his brows, as if trying to ease the entanglements and conflicts in his heart.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng knew that this matter would not be solved overnight, so he decided to give in temporarily. He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard that in the land of India, the people there are divided into four categories: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras according to their bloodline from the day they are born. This is called the caste system. These four categories Human beings stick to their class all their lives and will never get ahead. The upper class regards the lower class as pigs and dogs, while the lower class is content with it. Your Majesty, we have an imperial examination in Jingjiang, and all people who are educated and sensible take the world as their own responsibility. How can it be compared with Tianzhu?"

When Emperor Jingjiang heard this, he was silent for a long time. He knew that Lin Xiaofeng was using Tianzhu's caste system to warn himself, reminding himself not to forget the enterprising spirit and upward aspirations of the people in Jingjiang.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded repeatedly and continued: "Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. How can the prosperity of Jingjiang be compared to a place like Tianzhu? It's just that the two may have similarities in some aspects."

Emperor Jingjiang snorted and said: "According to what you say, do I have to abolish the household registration system in the world to be fair? But in that case, how will the people manage it? Have you ever thought about it carefully?"

"If it is abolished rashly, I'm afraid there will be land annexation and instability of people's hearts. I don't know how much trouble it will cause!" Lin Xiaofeng sighed.

He indeed had not thought deeply about this issue, and the methods of managing the people in the past dynasties have been proven to be effective after the test of time. What Emperor Jingjiang said actually makes sense.

But in this era, there is no high-tech means such as the Internet and digitalization to assist management, so there is no way around it.

"Your Majesty is wise, but what I said is wrong. I am young and have little knowledge, and I don't think carefully enough." Lin Xiaofeng admitted.

"However, I believe that there is no perfect system in the world. Especially science, which is a new thing. Since there are changes, the system should also be adjusted with the changes."

"The first batch of admissions to the institute this time is only a few hundred people. Being a little more tolerant to them may bring some new ideas to the court. It doesn't hurt to give it a try."

"Therefore, I sincerely request your Majesty to give these future students a chance to change their household registration."

"If the institute can really produce major inventions like guns and cannons, which will benefit the country and the people, then no one will have any objections."

Emperor Jingjiang pondered for a while and then said: "Well, if the institute can really have a major invention comparable to guns and cannons, I will just turn a blind eye."

"However, before that, let's not mention this matter again. I have no objection to students in the college being divided into majors according to their talents and interests. As long as it does not involve civil affairs, I can block all criticism. Others Let’s talk about it after you have achieved results.”

Lin Xiaofeng nodded.

When things have reached this point, there is no need to say anything more, and besides, I just don’t understand the sense of proportion.

Things have to be done step by step. Since there is no problem in dividing the majors, let's wait for the results to come out and then talk about it.

"Your Majesty is wise, I will go back and make arrangements right away."

Emperor Jingjiang nodded: "Go ahead and don't forget to take care of Han Miao. I want to visit the East Palace."

"Father, my son is also very curious and wants to go to the research institute with Lao Lin." A voice interrupted.

"Well, let's go together." Emperor Jingjiang agreed.

Walking out of Liangdian, Li Dexian asked Lin Xiaofeng: "Old Lin, hasn't the name of the college been decided yet? When will the enrollment begin?"

"How about calling it Lin Xiaofeng University?" Lin Xiaofeng said jokingly.

How could I miss this opportunity to go down in history!

Li Dexian glanced at him with contempt: "Why don't you use my name."

"Forget it, the name of the college has been decided, and it will be called Beilang University. The more earthy the name, the more powerful it looks!" Lin Xiaofeng said.

"Can the name of Beilang University be more casual? When will admission be admitted?" Li Dexian asked.

"We can start right away. We will first recruit students who are interested in important majors, such as civil engineering, brewing, etc. These majors can see results quickly." Lin Xiaofeng touched his beard and said, "This way, we can see results quickly in the future. When people see the benefits, they will be more enthusiastic about signing up to study.”

"What does this mean? What majors are these? Is winemaking the Yangqu wine of Yangqu County? What else is there about winemaking? What does civil engineering mean?" Li Dexian was confused.

Lin Xiaofeng said sternly: "Your Highness, winemaking is a university subject! Although our Yangqu County is not very good in other aspects, our winemaking technology is outstanding. This is the foundation of our life!"

"Wine brewing is definitely high-tech and is a pillar industry of our country!"

Recalling that year, in order to discuss cooperation with an important customer and promote liquor, he spent a lot of effort to persuade the customer to taste it.

The customer signed the contract while drunk and had no complaints when he woke up. Because our wines are not only reasonably priced, but also of high quality, rare treasures on the market. Although not many people like strong liquor, our liquor can be sold with water and is as popular as ever.

The first few batches of business were done this way.

Moreover, I had a big regret in my previous life, which was that I could not sell my parents’ house and reinvest in this national pillar industry.

"What does civil engineering mean?" Li Dexian asked.

"It's corvee work, that is, construction." Lin Xiaofeng explained.

"Then let's talk about any other special majors." Li Dexian seemed to be interested.

Lin Xiaofeng touched his head, thought for a while and said: "Actually, I originally wanted to set up a nursing major, recruit more beautiful nurses, and even designed the uniforms. However, after thinking about it, I still feel that it is not suitable. The current public opinion environment is not Well, the market hasn’t been developed yet, let’s talk about it later.”

"That's about it for the others. We have to prepare for enrollment now!"

Two days later, the school building was ready, and the newspaper office worked overtime to prepare promotional materials and prepare to create a craze.

The printing workshops in Kyoto were at full capacity, and countless large posters and exquisite leaflets were printed one by one.

Not only that, all personnel from the Yangqu County Research Institute were also dispatched to serve as interviewers.

Although the preliminary screening will involve a written test, Lin Xiaofeng still wants to select the best from the best.

There are many folk wizards and eccentrics, but they are buried because they are uneducated. These people can only undergo preliminary screening through interviews, and then enter basic classes to learn writing.

The brothels are not idle either, selecting beautiful women to accompany them for enrollment promotions.

Car and horse shops, jewelry shops, etc. also took notice and joined the publicity team one after another.

Master Zhou even came to help in person!
In short, all possible means were used to influence the people of Kyoto with shocking power and build momentum for Beilang University!

Early the next morning, the promotional activities began.

The people gathered around the newspaper readers, wanting to hear what new news there was.

But the reader looked solemn and flipped through the newspaper repeatedly to make sure it was correct before starting to read.

It turned out that what they bought was a special advertising page, and the entire page was filled with news about Beilang University's admissions. The attractive conditions and bright prospects were listed on it.

The newspaper readers themselves were also moved, thinking, wouldn’t reading have a better future than listening to newspapers?
When the common people saw him standing still, someone urged: "Read it quickly, do you still want the reward?"

"Did something big happen?"

The newspaper reader cleared his throat and said seriously: "Everyone, today's news is very important and affects everyone's future. Please listen carefully."

"Give me some reward first."

Hey, are you still busy with life and worried about having no meat on the table at home? Come to Beilang University, where you can taste all kinds of delicacies from north and south of Jingjiang!
Do you also want to be the “other people’s child” that others envy? Come to Beilang University, where you can achieve a brilliant career and leave no regrets in your life!
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and looked confused, not knowing what was being said.

The man reading the newspaper read aloud again: "Are you still worried about work and not making money? Come to Beidong University, here we can help you realize your true ideal in life!"

"Don't be sad! Don't be sad! Beidong University is here to help you relieve your worries!"

"Beilang University is a first-class university in Jingjiang with rich resources, including business school, chemistry school, physics school and other colleges."

"Here famous teachers teach in person and teach you step by step. After graduation, you can find a job, realize your life dreams, and reach the pinnacle of success!"

"Come to Beilang University and you will be promoted in the exams! If you pass one exam, you will have no worries about food and drink; if you pass two exams, you will get ahead; if you pass three exams, you will be the focus of the crowd!"

"After passing the junior college, your life will take off completely! You can also become a scientist. The Royal Academy will recruit you directly, allowing you to come into contact with the court and become a figure that attracts everyone's attention!"

"Beilang University is recruiting students now! It only accepts boys aged fifteen to thirty years old. The tuition fee is very favorable. The places are limited. Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis!"

"Recruitment interviews have begun at Beilang Plaza!"

The man reading the newspaper let out a long sigh of relief and waited for everyone's reaction. Mastering the rhythm was his specialty.

Sure enough, everyone responded enthusiastically and talked a lot.

I probably understand what he means. Although I don’t understand some of the words, if you want to go to school, who will be here to listen to him reading the newspaper?
When everyone had finished talking, the newspaper reader shouted loudly: "Come to Beidong University, there will always be a major suitable for you!"

"Building houses, brewing wine, doing business, blacksmithing, everything is available! There is nothing you can't think of, and there is nothing Beilang University can't teach! You will never spend a penny in vain!"

"Master a skill and you will be happy for a lifetime! Beilang University has signed a talent transfer agreement with Yangqu County. As long as you dare to learn, we will arrange it for you in inns, hotels, blacksmith shops, and wineries! Choosing Beilang University means choosing Right way of life!”

"Don't worry if your family is poor, Yangqu County has student loans! Interest-free loans, you can pay them back after graduation! There are also scholarships!"

"With good grades, you can get promoted to junior college! The scholarship is very generous. If one person gets promoted to junior college, the whole family will be honored!"

"From today on, don't go to the single-plank bridge to take the imperial examination. Come and take the Yangguan Avenue of Beiling University!"

Everyone now fully understood and became more and more excited.

In fact, this is a new school, a place to learn technology!

You can learn without money, and you will be rewarded if you learn well! After graduation, you can go directly to work in Yangqu County.

Who doesn’t know about Yangqu County? It was a mysterious and wealthy place.

Although the Royal Academy sounds a bit confused, it must be very noble to be associated with the royal family.

Although I don’t want to learn, I can send my children here, but there are some age restrictions.

"How much is the tuition? Why didn't you tell me?"

When everyone asked this question, they all turned their attention to the newspaper reader.

The newspaper reader looked at it carefully and said: "The tuition fees for each major are different. You have to go to Beilang University in Beilangfang to ask for details."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw an open carriage slowly approaching!
The horse is tall and the decoration on the carriage is extremely luxurious. It is inlaid with gold and jade, which makes it look very majestic at first glance.

There are also wind chimes hanging on the car body, tinkling.

The driver raised his loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Bei Lang Square, Bei Lang University is conducting interviews for admissions! Come to Bei Lang Plaza to participate!"

There were three people sitting in the car. The man in the middle wore sunglasses and was very luxuriously dressed. He was covered in gold, silver and jade ornaments. There was a beautiful woman on the left and right, serving him with melon and fruit snacks in his hands.

When the man reached out to pick up the thing, he deliberately shook the gold and jade ornaments on his body.

"Oh my God! How much gold and jade is he wearing? He won't crush anyone to death, right?" "Oh, this man is so awesome. I have never seen such an impressive person in my life. He is so arrogant!"

"This is also a propaganda method of Beilang University. How rich is Beilang University!"

Everyone was in high spirits, and those who were fascinated by the gold, silver and jewelry rushed to the North Corridor Square.

By this time, North Corridor Square was already crowded with people, and people nearby were arriving even faster.

The square was as lively as a theme park. The fences had been set up and people lined up like long snakes.

Sitting on the stage of Beiling University were people as luxurious as those on the carriage. There were pens, ink, paper and inkstones in front of the table, and there were beautiful women standing on the left and right.

The host loudly maintained order: "Don't mess around! Anyone who meets the requirements can come for an interview!"

"Scientists from Beidong University have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Everyone responded with cheers.

Wow! Those sitting on the stage are the college scientists mentioned in the newspapers. They are so awesome!

"Tell me loudly, do you want to become a scientist?" The host was full of enthusiasm, holding a script book in his hand.

"Think!! Think! Think!!" The voice in the audience was like thunder.

"How do I become a scientist? Tell me loudly!"

The shills in the front row immediately cooperated: "Apply to Beilang University and take the junior college entrance examination!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Apply to Beilang University and take the junior college entrance examination!"

The atmosphere was extremely lively, and Lin Xiaofeng was laughing from ear to ear behind the stage.

Li Dexian frowned and said, "Old Lin, just recruit students. Why are you so fancy?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly: "Your Highness, this is all to enhance the reputation of the college."

In fact, I want to improve the image of scientists and facilitate recruitment.

Later generations will always say that scientists are poor, but the scientists here want to enjoy a wealthy life, and young models in clubs are not a problem.

I would like to ask which family is willing to let their children live in poverty for the rest of their lives? If we continue to promote in the old way, although it is morally justified, who will want to come to school?

Doing this now is extremely luxurious and allows everyone to see the bright future of science!
If you want to become a scientist, come to Beidong University!
Li Dexian stood on the side of the stage and quietly observed for a while. He saw that there was a lot of hustle and bustle there, and he couldn't help but show a trace of worry on his face.

He turned to Lin Xiaofeng and said: "Old Lin, I always feel that this is inappropriate. Look at this atmosphere, where is the academic atmosphere? I remember my former teacher often said that you should be pure of desire and remain humble, so that you can concentrate on your studies. Shouldn’t a research institute be a place for learning? If everyone is led by material desires, how can we do good research?”

Lin Xiaofeng looked into Li Dexian's eyes and responded with a smile: "Of course what His Highness said makes sense. But noble people like you can advocate the state of poverty-stricken scholarship, and officials can follow suit, but for ordinary people, it is It’s not appropriate. They are really poor, and studying in poverty is more of a helpless choice for them.”

Speaking of which, studying in poverty and abandoning material desires sounds quite reasonable. But in fact, those who are truly poor are more likely to be tempted by material desires. They have never tasted delicious food or played interesting things, but their hearts flutter when they see beautiful women. Those beautiful things seem to be separated by a layer of veil to them, and the temptation is even greater. As a result, they have to spend more energy resisting their desires.

In fact, most modern scientists were wealthy and leisurely aristocrats at the beginning. When they are bored, they regard research as a kind of fun. Just like Sakyamuni, in order to become a Buddha, he had to be a prince first. They have tasted all kinds of tastes in the world, and when they feel tired, they turn to the truth and pursue higher levels of stimulation.

The Buddha said, "Those who are destined to be saved will be saved." This is not empty talk. How can those poor people achieve positive results? They haven't tasted this colorful world yet, and they will lose their power as soon as they encounter temptation.

Of course, there are exceptions. Some people from poor backgrounds can also become outstanding scientists, like Sir Isaac Newton and King Tesla. But their brain structure is different from ordinary people, and they already had institutions like the Royal Academy and a complete education system at that time.

Think about it, the British Royal Academy has been established, and our Manchus are still busy entering the customs.

"Your Highness, what we should be most concerned about now is enrollment, not how to teach. As long as we can recruit potential students, everything else is trivial."

"Besides, once people get rich, they can't just do nothing and have fun all day long. I can guarantee that if you let them have fun all day long for two months, they will definitely get tired of it and want to do something serious."

It's like those people who don't have a girlfriend yet and think about her every day. But once you have a girlfriend and get tired of being together every day, within two months, you will no longer be so excited. You will start to appreciate life and grow into a more mature man.

The same goes for women. Sometimes they complain: "I'm so tired today, let's do it tomorrow." In fact, they just want to be lazy.

Li Dexian listened and said with a smile: "Old Lin, you are so sure. Some of the princes in the capital have fun all day long, and I don't see them getting tired."

So do they really want to play? Still have no choice? In fact, they are just anesthetizing themselves.

Lin Xiaofeng thought so in his heart, but he continued: "Your Highness, there are only a few princes like that. Have you ever heard of the Batman in Yangqu County?"

Li Dexian thought for a while and said: "I think I saw it on a bookstall in your county. Did you make it up? That Batman was caught and released again, released and caught again. He was so stupid. Old Lin, you This story is really poorly crafted.”

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he felt a little confused on his face, thinking that the story of Batman was actually made up for the county people when he was bored because he was not accustomed to the local environment. He did not expect that people would be so disgusted with it now.

"Your Highness is right, Batman is indeed a bit stupid. In fact, there is no perfect system in this world. The system is set up for most people. There are always some exceptions, so let's deal with them specially. Just like those in the story Just kill the mutant monster."

"The same goes for our research institute. If there is a really talented person who enters a junior college or the Royal Research Institute, but ends up having fun all day long without producing results, then just expel him. The reason is that simple."

"But, Your Highness, there is another situation that you may not have considered." Lin Xiaofeng paused for a moment when he said this.

Li Dexian asked hurriedly: "What situation did I not consider?"

Lin Xiaofeng sighed and said, "The students we recruit are all ordinary people. They are extremely poor, have low self-esteem and are sensitive. They will never be able to let go for the rest of their lives."

"Lack of self-confidence limits their imagination. In fact, on the road to science, imagination is sometimes more important than basic knowledge."

"So, we have to show them a bright prospect and let them see the real benefits!"

Money is really a heroic thing for ordinary people. Cultivating their self-confidence cannot be accomplished in a day or two. Lin Xiaofeng could only choose to use substances to stimulate their courage.

Li Dexian also fell into deep thought after listening. After a while, he sighed and said: "You are right. Maybe I have lived too comfortably and have not experienced the sadness of the people. If you have experience, then do as you say, if it doesn't work anymore Adjustment."

After saying that, he continued to observe the interview.

In the North Corridor Square, the "scientists" of Yangqu County are conducting interviews in full swing.

As for the content of the interview, it is actually very simple.

First check to see if this person is a fool and if there is any spark in his eyes, and then ask a few casual questions.

At this time, Hu Yimo, who came from the county's thermal weapons institute, was standing on the stage. He was doing an interview. Looking at the crowds of people below, he had a headache. There was a gold-plated iron chain hanging around his neck, which made him even more irritated. Fortunately, there was a beautiful woman by his side, and the fragrant breeze wafted in, which somewhat refreshed him.

Just after interviewing a person, the person sat down with admiration and said, "Hello, scientist, my name is Tian Wu."

Hu Yimo pushed up his sunglasses and said helplessly: "Brother, you look to be fifty, right?"

"I'm only twenty-seven, but I'm tired from work and look old."

"Okay, Tian Wu. You read the words on the table first."

Tian Wu licked his lips, looked down, and said with some embarrassment: "I can't read."

"It doesn't matter, let me ask you an answer. What is eighty-seven plus twenty-three? Come on!"

Tian Wu counted on his fingers and said, "Ninety-six?"

"Next person!"

Tian Wu left in despair.

Hu Yimo rubbed his temples. He had been like this for most of the morning. He was illiterate and couldn't even add or subtract within a hundred.

What a headache!
But luckily, the next contestant cheered him up a bit.

Standing in front of him was a young man, wearing white washed Confucian clothes and looking poor. But there was a spiritual energy in his eyes.

"Hello interviewer, my name is Xiao Tianyan."

"Okay, read the words on the table."

Xiao Tianyan looked down, his eyes lit up, and he read: "I threw myself on the book, just like a hungry person throws himself on bread. - Lin Xiaofeng."

"I have devoted my life to one thing, which is to fight for the glory of Jingjiang! - Lin Xiaofeng."

"Everyone is destined to be a horse, and the horse should die immediately. As long as there is a breath left, it should work. -——To the laborers."

In life, the most important thing is to know how to contribute and help others, so that life will be meaningful.

"Haha, you said it very well, very well!" Hu Yimo nodded approvingly. His eyes were hidden behind his sunglasses, and Xiao Tianyan couldn't see his expression clearly. Despite this, Xiao Tianyan still felt that Hu Yimo's eyes were always on him, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Let me ask you two more simple questions. What is forty-four plus thirty-seven?" Hu Yimo asked.

"Eighty-one." Xiao Tianyan blurted out without even thinking.

Hu Yimo was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What about ninety-four plus eighty-three?"

"One hundred and seventy-seven." Xiao Tianyan quickly answered again.

Hu Yimo started to become serious. He knew that the mathematics culture in Jingjiang was not strong. It was okay for ordinary people to do calculations on a daily basis, but many people would find it difficult to ask them to do arithmetic problems alone. Some people even cannot figure out addition and subtraction within ten. But the child in front of him could calculate so quickly and accurately, which was really beyond his expectation.

"What is the equivalent of one thousand, three hundred and fifty-six minus two hundred and eighty-one plus six hundred and thirty-nine?" Hu Yimo continued to ask the question.

"One thousand, seven hundred and fourteen." Xiao Tianyan quickly gave the answer.

This child obviously has some talent, or has received special training. But no matter what, he is a rare talent. Hu Yimo slammed the table excitedly and said, "Okay! Come on, write your name and address here!"

Xiao Tianyan felt happy and quickly took a piece of white paper and wrote it down.

"Go to Beiling Newspaper Office to take the second round of exams at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't forget!" Hu Yimo took the paper and drew a big letter A on Xiao Tianyan's name.

Xiao Tianyan looked at the letter A and felt extremely excited, and thanked Hu Yimo repeatedly. Then he turned and left briskly.

Xiao Tianyan walked home all the way, feeling happy. However, when he walked to the door of his home, the joy suddenly disappeared. He walked into the dilapidated house and saw a stooped old man busy in front of the stove. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the old man turned his head and looked at him.

"Tian Yan? Why are you back so early today? Aren't you studying with your classmates?" the old man asked.

Xiao Tianyan felt guilty as he looked at the old man's wrinkled and weathered face. He called "Dad" anxiously, and then said guiltily: "The teacher has something to do today, so I came back early."

The old man's name was Xiao Guojing. He saw something was wrong with his son, but he didn't ask much and just continued to keep busy with his head down. Xiao Tianyan asked nervously: "Dad, why did you come back so early today?"

"I was fired by my boss, so I have to find another job tomorrow. Is the meal ready? Just in time to eat together." Xiao Guojing said, opening the lid of the pot. A puff of steam came out and dissipated, revealing a few stewed sweet potatoes.

He took two sets of bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the old and stained dining table. He also took a small bowl with some pickles and placed them next to them. After everything was ready, he said: "Eat, don't waste time, continue reading after eating."

The father and son sat opposite each other, eating in silence without saying a word. In this dark and dilapidated house, the atmosphere seemed even more depressing. Halfway through the meal, Xiao Guojing suddenly said: "There is something interesting in the city today. I heard that a university is going to be established in the western suburbs. Everyone is talking about it. I also heard about it on the way back."

Xiao Tianyan's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked eagerly: "Dad, what do you think of Beiling University?"

"Hmph, I heard that the school is for training craftsmen. It's really ridiculous. It's so popular. It's just a disgrace." Xiao Guojing said disdainfully, "What can you do if you go to Beilang University? Can you enter the court? No. Dare to call yourself a university.”

Xiao Tianyan's heart suddenly sank. He pursed his lips, lowered his head and continued to pick at the rice in the bowl. Xiao Guojing noticed the change in his son's mood. He frowned and asked, "How did you do in school today?"

"No, teacher is not feeling well today, so we will read by ourselves." Xiao Tianyan answered hesitantly.

"What on earth are you studying!" Xiao Guojing's tone became more serious. He stopped what he was doing, stared at Xiao Tianyan and said, "I have taught you since you were a child to tell the truth!"

Xiao Tianyan was so frightened that he trembled and said, "I went to see the exam at Beiling University."

"Beast!" Xiao Guojing suddenly shouted angrily and kicked Xiao Tianyan. Xiao Tianyan was unprepared and was kicked to the corner of the ground, curled up in pain.

Xiao Guojing's eyes turned red and he gasped, "I work hard outside so that you can study, but you want to be a craftsman! Are you worthy of your dead mother? Are you worthy of me!"

Xiao Tianyan looked at his father in fear, feeling filled with guilt. Xiao Guojing said sadly: "Your mother died early, leaving you as an only son. I am also a scholar, but in order to support you, I gave up the opportunity to take the imperial examination, gave up my future, and became a farmer. I work as a cow and a horse for others, just to get a meager income. My only dignity is this shabby Confucian uniform. Even if I am laughed at, I don't care because I have a smart son like you. I raised you carefully. , I hope you can make a difference, leap over the dragon gate, and enter the court. I have suffered so much for this. It's a pity that although you are smart, you didn't study hard, and you failed in the three student examinations. Your potential is still there, as long as you work hard, you will definitely succeed! But today, my dream is shattered! Your mother died, and you failed to live up to your expectations. The same thing echoed in my mind. I felt dizzy, assaulting my senses, and tears flowed down my wrinkles."

Suddenly, Xiao Guojing was like crazy. He picked up the broom beside the table and hit Xiao Tianyan head and face. While beating him, he cursed: "Beast! Beast! Are you worthy of your dead mother? Are you worthy of yourself!"

The broom fell heavily on Xiao Tianyan's body, and every blow seemed to beat on his heart. When he was not diligent in studying, his father also beat him, but he had never been so angry as he is today.

Xiao Tianyan covered his face with his hands and screamed in pain, but he did not fight back. He just saw his father's face bursting with tears through his fingers. His eyes were also moist.

With more and more tears gathering, Xiao Tianyan finally let go of his hand. He knelt in front of Xiao Guojing and kowtowed three times, with blood flowing down his forehead. He begged: "Dad! Beat me! My son is unfilial, I'm sorry for you! Beat me to death!"

When Xiao Guojing heard his son's words, his hands stopped. As if all the bones in his body were weak, he threw the broom aside and walked into the back room in despair.

Xiao Tianyan stood there, tears welling up in his eyes. He looked at his father's desolate and lonely back, feeling full of guilt but unable to say a word. There were blood stains under his knees, just like his heart, which was cut into pieces. He knelt there numbly, letting the blood flow slowly.

The room was eerily quiet, as if even the air was frozen. Xiao Tianyan's heart was as chaotic as grass blown by the strong wind, and he could not calm down at all. He tried to stand up, but his knees were so numb that he could only stumble into the house.

He saw his father, Xiao Guojing, sitting there, looking lost and dejected, with a bit of frost on his old face. Xiao Guojing sat beside the couch, his lips moving slightly, as if talking to himself. Xiao Tianyan looked at his father, feeling even more guilty. He knelt down in front of his father sadly and cried, "Dad, I was wrong. I should go back and study hard."

Xiao Guojing's hazy eyes moved slightly, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and sighed: "I made mistakes too. Everyone has their own ambitions. Just do whatever you want. From now on, I won't care about you anymore. ”

“If you really love the craftsmanship thing, go for it.”

When Xiao Tianyan heard this, he was stunned as if he had been shocked. He knew that his father had always hoped that he could pass on the family culture through reading, but now that his father said such words, it was obvious that his father's disappointment had reached the extreme and he had completely given up on him.

Xiao Guojing said with tears in his eyes: "I have no ability, and my family is so poor that we don't even have the money for you to study."

"I am not a talented person in the imperial examination, but I got an A in this interview. If I can get into Beilang University, I will definitely be able to make money to support my family in the future." After Xiao Tianyan finished speaking, he kowtowed again.

Hearing the dull sound, Xiao Guojing's heart was as sharp as a knife. He couldn't bear to look at his son anymore. He turned his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Go and stop talking."

Things have reached this point, and there is no point in talking about it anymore. Xiao Tianyan wiped away his tears and said sadly: "My son is unfilial!" After saying that, he stood up and rushed out of the door, leaving Xiao Guojing sitting alone in the room.

Xiao Tianyan ran to the market and wandered aimlessly. His eyes were dark, his mind was in chaos, and he didn't know where to go or what to do. He didn't know how long he had been wandering. It was getting dark before he returned home.

He saw the cool sweet potatoes on the stove, and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He tiptoed into the house and saw his father curled up and asleep, feeling a little more at ease. He finished washing and carefully lay down on the couch. The room was very small and he shared a bed with his father. He listened to his father's even breathing and his thoughts surged. He tried hard to suppress the distracting thoughts in his heart and gradually fell asleep. I have to go to the newspaper office to take an exam tomorrow.

The next day, Xiao Tianyan got up early and found that his father had disappeared. This is normal because my father has to go to work early. He packed up his mood and rushed to the Beiling newspaper office to take the exam. He was extremely nervous every time he took an exam and his stomach often hurt. But the exams at Beilang University were different. There were no esoteric ancient books or boring lectures, which he found very satisfying. His mind began to wander and he fantasized about all kinds of strange things. Those strange things piqued his interest even more. Moreover, the wealthy life in the western suburbs is also beckoning to him. If he can pass the exam, he will be able to improve his family's life, and his father will no longer have to work so hard to leave early and come home late. He should be the one to shoulder the burden of the family.

When we arrived at the door of the newspaper office, there were already staff guiding the candidates. There were not many people. When Xiao Tianyan arrived, there were only a few dozen people. He followed the guide into the examination room and his eyes lit up. This exam is still an interview, and the interviewer is the same person from yesterday - Hu Yimo. Hu Yimo's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Tianyan. Yesterday, Xiao Tianyan's arithmetic speed was unmatched by anyone, which shows that he has a flexible mind and is a rare talent.

Twenty minutes later, the exam was over. Xiao Tianyan went straight home. The sky gradually darkened, and Xiao Guojing also went home. Xiao Tianyan hurriedly got up to pack up his father's working tools, but Xiao Guojing avoided him and packed them up himself. Xiao Tianyan wanted to say something, but he felt ashamed and angry, and the good mood of the day was gone.

After hesitating for a long time, he muttered: "Dad, I passed the exam."

Xiao Guojing didn't raise his head, just hummed and stopped talking. Xiao Tianyan said with difficulty: "School will start in five days, and you may have to live on campus. The tuition fee will be at least five yuan, and the major has not been decided yet."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Guojing had already turned around and entered the house, and there was the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets. After a while, a money bag flew out and fell to the ground with a thud. Xiao Tianyan picked up the money bag and opened it. It contained about one or two copper plates and broken silver. He was moved. This was all the family's savings, but now it was all given to him. How would the family live in the future?
"Dad, I can't use this much."

"I have found a new job, you don't have to worry." The father's cold voice came from the house.

Then the room fell silent again. Five days later, the day Xiao Tianyan had been waiting for finally arrived. He packed his luggage, left a letter, and left the house early. During these five days, he and his father barely spoke. It was difficult to untie the knot in his father's heart, and Xiao Tianyan was powerless to do anything. He could only bite the bullet and find a new way.

He gritted his teeth and hired a car, and leisurely arrived at the gate of Beiling University. There were many people gathered outside the door, and everyone was beaming with joy. Xiao Tianyan also felt open-minded. The school gate is magnificent, with the four characters "Beilang University" written on it, and the school emblem inlaid in the middle, shaped like a rooster. Xiao Tianyan didn't understand the meaning of this school badge. There is also a huge stone outside the door, with eight words engraved on it: "Freedom of thought, inclusiveness."

Outside the door, the interviewer who interviewed him the day before yesterday was welcoming new students. Hu Yimo guided the freshmen into the campus with a cheerful face, but suddenly he felt a dazzling air of poverty. He took a closer look and saw that it was Xiao Tianyan. So he shouted loudly: "Xiao Tianyan!"

Xiao Tianyan was stunned for a moment and walked forward quickly. Hu Yimo smiled and said: "We are really destined."

Xiao Tianyan smiled shyly: "Hello, teacher."

"Don't call me teacher. In Beiling University, everyone is called a teacher. Now that everyone is here, let's go in together."

"The freshman ceremony will begin soon. After the ceremony, I will take you around the campus."

"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Tianyan nodded excitedly and followed Hu Yimo into the campus. As soon as he entered the campus, Xiao Tianyan stood there blankly. The lawn in front of you is neat and uniform and very comfortable. There are also some small woods dotted between the lawns. The lake surface is sparkling and dazzling. Not far away, there are rows of buildings, half of which are still under construction, and workers are busy at work. This scene was both grand and beautiful. When Xiao Tianyan saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Just when he was stunned, Hu Yimo had already walked away. Xiao Tianyan wanted to catch up, but suddenly saw a sign under his feet. The sign read: "It is everyone's responsibility to care for flowers and plants." He was afraid of stepping on the grass, so he stopped walking.

Hu Yimo looked back and found that no one was following him, so he turned around and shouted: "Hey, why don't you follow? What are you doing standing there?"

Xiao Tianyan quickly replied loudly: "Master, there is a sign here that says 'Please do not trample on the lawn'."

"Oh? Can't you step on it?" Hu Yimo looked back doubtfully.

He lowered his head and took a closer look, and sure enough he saw a sign that said it was forbidden to trample on the lawn.

He pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his foot and kicked it away. With a bang, the sign flew several meters away, stirring up a cloud of dust.

He cursed and said: "This must be the sign set up by those idiots who mow the lawn! Isn't this land trampled by people? How stupid!"

Then he said to Xiao Tianyan: "Don't worry about it, let's go!"

Xiao Tianyan looked at this scene with a horrified expression on his face and regretful in his heart.

What kind of teacher is this! Why is it so violent! Could it be that all the respect and caution I showed him before were fake?

He doesn't look like a teacher at all!
Hu Yimo noticed Xiao Tianyan's strange expression, and quickly squeezed out a warm smile and said: "I am a straightforward person, and I speak straightforwardly. Don't mind it! We are all academics in the future, so we should speak frankly and enjoy it when we should. Be happy when you should, and don't beat around the bush. We don't have to worry about the complexity of interpersonal relationships. Let's go."

Xiao Tianyan had no choice but to respond, then followed Hu Yimo across the lawn and continued moving forward.

They came to the square and saw that the rostrum had been set up.

Li Dexian held his chin and observed the surrounding scenery boredly.

Lin Xiaofeng, on the other hand, was observing the freshmen from a distance with a telescope, and the veins on his forehead were slightly exposed.

Why are these students stepping on the lawn?

It cost a lot of money to repair, but they ruined it like this!

The sign is standing there but no one is looking at it. There are no rules at all. They need to be taught a lesson!
Lin Xiaofeng sighed, put down the telescope, and waited quietly for the students to enter.

After half an hour of commotion, everyone arrived.

More than 600 teachers and students sat neatly under the stage, waiting for Lin Xiaofeng to speak.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and picked up the big speaker next to him, cleared his throat and said, "Is everyone here?"

"I am Lin Xiaofeng. From today on, I will be your principal. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future."

"Without further ado, welcome the new students to school, applause!"

The people from Yangqu County took the lead in applauding, and the applause gradually began.

Lin Xiaofeng waved for everyone to stop and said: "Dear teachers, dear students, good morning!"

Applause started again.

"Beidong University is newly established, and the first batch of freshmen have already entered the school! For you freshmen, this is a moment full of expectations, hopes and slightly nervousness. On behalf of Beidong University, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for enrolling in our school, joining our school, and becoming A member of our school would like to express my warmest congratulations and welcome!”

The applause continued.

"In my speech at the opening ceremony today, I originally wanted to say a few words briefly. But I feel that I have to say the following words, which can be regarded as my heartfelt words."

"As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. A good beginning is half the success, which illustrates the importance of the beginning. Both teachers and students should pay attention to the beginning of school. So, how to pay attention to it? First..."

Xiao Tianyan sat in the audience, looking at Lin Xiaofeng with admiration.

This was a high-ranking official he had ever met. Lin Xiaofeng was known to everyone in Kyoto.

Is this the style of a high official? No wonder he has achieved such high achievements at such a young age.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the same is true for learning. You must seize the time. Learning is a hard thing that requires effort, determination to overcome difficulties, and perseverance to overcome laziness..."

Lin Xiaofeng was talking non-stop on the stage, and the eyes of the students in the audience were already sparkling.

That’s so well said! It makes people’s blood boil, and I have to study hard too!

However, this is not the case for the teachers from Yangqu County.

Each one of them seemed to have lost a relative, and occasionally looked at the students behind them with pitiful eyes.

It’s over! Looking at it like this, today's freshman welcome ceremony won't be over for an hour or two.

These stupid freshmen, if they are still listening so attentively, I'm afraid they won't last long.

"Our school hopes that all teachers can unite more closely, seek truth and pragmatism, pioneer and innovate, and strive for comprehensive improvement..."

"Strive to have a goal in mind, take action every day, and be able to persevere; have a peaceful mind and be relaxed; face difficulties..."

An hour and a half later, under the shade of the rostrum, Lin Xiaofeng was still talking nonstop.

The people in the audience were almost dehydrated, and everyone was in agony.

Xiao Tianyan's eyes had changed from excitement to despair.

How can Mr. Lin be so eloquent! Can everyone in the court say it? No wonder I failed the imperial examination.

"We work together, with the spirit of diligence, perseverance, perseverance and self-confidence, to compose the most brilliant movement of youth, realize the dream of youth, and jointly create the glory of tomorrow! Finally, I wish the teachers good luck in their work, and I wish the students progress in their studies and their thoughts. become!"

After another half an hour, Lin Xiaofeng licked his dry lips and paused with unfinished thoughts.

He looked at the people staggering under the stage and cursed in his mind.

How dare these dogs step on my lawn!
Li Dexian sat next to him and had been shivering for an hour. He didn't loosen his clenched fists until it was over.

He leaned close to Lin Xiaofeng's ear and said in a low voice, "Old Lin, I really want to strangle you to death! Did you never have a mouth in your previous life?"

Lin Xiaofeng chuckled: "Your Highness, this will become a school tradition from now on."

He loudly shouted to the audience: "Next, the teachers will lead the freshmen to visit the campus. Dismissal! Hu Yimo, come here."
