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

"Master, I am also thinking about you." He tried to explain his difficulties. "What do you want to say?" Lin Xiaofeng frowned, obviously impatient. "I don't mean anything else..." Hu Yimo muttered softly.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Lin Xiaofeng interrupted him, "The school seems to be doing well. Is there anything new recently?" Hu Yimo thought for a while and replied, "Everything is fine. We have recruited a lot of new students. "In addition, the school has recently organized a lot of activities with the county, and they have been quite successful." "Among the newly admitted students, there are many children from rich families and talented people. We also held an art exhibition this time and are conducting awards. "

"Oh? It's interesting." Lin Xiaofeng asked with interest, "Does the school have any vacant teaching buildings now?" "There are three connected empty buildings in the north, and they haven't been listed yet." Hu Yimo replied. "Very good." Lin Xiaofeng nodded, "Immediately send people to surround those three buildings and name them 'Peony Building'. They will be used to recruit female students in the future." After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao who was standing aside. Peony, "Peony, starting from today, our school will have a girls' school."

Zhao Mudan opened her mouth in surprise, not knowing how to respond for a moment. She didn't expect that Lin Xiaofeng would name the building after her, which made her feel a little scared and uneasy.

Lin Xiaofeng seemed to see what she was thinking, and continued: "Okay, don't be stunned, go and customize a plaque. I will see the plaque hung up in an hour!"

"But although North Corridor University has carpenters and enough manpower, wouldn't one hour be too hasty?"

Hu Yimo asked hesitantly. "Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Xiaofeng said displeased, "How long will it take you to carve three words? Okay, let's go to the art exhibition first. I didn't expect that I would find some talented students when I came back." He said with a smile.

Although he was a little reluctant, Hu Yimo still agreed to Lin Xiaofeng's request, and after explaining to the people around him, he took him towards the square. At this time, the square is already filled with various paintings. Most of them are ink paintings. Occasionally, you can see one or two sketches, but the techniques are a bit rusty in comparison. However, those ink paintings are all very good and make people wonder. Praise for it. Hu Yimo introduced Lin Xiaofeng as he walked: "Master, you see, most of these are the works of new students! Most of them are the children of wealthy businessmen. Not to mention, these paintings are really good!" "Yes, the school plans to pass this Selecting a group of outstanding students from the art exhibition will be responsible for the school's publicity work, which can also save the school a lot of money!" Lin Xiaofeng nodded and praised: "Not bad! People with special skills can really focus on it! Cultivating more copies of famous paintings and selling them can also increase the school's income." After saying that, he looked back at Zhao Mudan and asked, "Is the first choice work for this exhibition out? This girl is painting a picture for a model." Hu Yimo replied: "Master, this girl is..." "She is a heroine of our country and someone who needs to be promoted in the future," Lin Xiaofeng explained, "I know. The first choice work has come out. Master, please come with me and take a look. If you are satisfied, I will ask him to come over." After saying that, Hu Yimo took Lin Xiaofeng and others and moved on.

They walked about a dozen steps and stopped in front of a majestic and huge painting. The painting is about a person's height in width. It depicts a sturdy general with a majestic face and thousands of troops behind him; a dragon-shaped figure can be faintly seen in the murderous army covered by dark clouds. There is also a line below the painting. A concise and powerful introduction in fine print. "Sir, look at this painting, "The Holy Driver's Expedition"!" Hu Yimo pointed to the words on the painting and introduced, "This is the school's recognized first-choice work!" Lin Xiaofeng nodded and bent down to look at it carefully before saying. : "Well, Wen Cunliang, right? Tell him he was fired." "Ah? Why?" Hu Yimo asked in shock. "Hmph! What a flattering work!" Lin Xiaofeng said angrily, "How can he be judged by others when he paints such a painting?! He will be expelled for any reason after a month! If anyone paints such a painting in the school in the future, he will be expelled! Why should you learn painting if you don't even understand these rules?" There was obvious sullenness and dissatisfaction in his expression. "But he draws really well..." Hu Yimo defended in a low voice. "No one can play such a clever trick in front of me!" Lin Xiaofeng snorted coldly, "Don't I know what his purpose is in painting this kind of painting?! This is simply ruining the academic style! This kind of student must not be retained! Never do it again in the future! Tell the students privately that this is a subject that must not be touched! Did you hear that?" After that, he waved his hand to signal Hu Yimo not to say any more, "Okay, find a painter who can draw the horse for me. Come here with a piece of red cloth! I want the painter to paint a picture for this girl!"

When the painter was ready, Lin Xiaofeng took the horse and said to Zhao Mudan: "Come on the horse! I will ask the painter to draw a portrait for you and then cover it with this red cloth." Zhao Mudan looked at him at a loss. Asked: "Mr. Lin, what do you want to do?" "You are the first student in our school's girls' school! We plan to vigorously promote you and attract more girls to enroll, are you willing?" "But I haven't yet I promise you! It feels like you are teasing me when you run the school so casually..." Zhao Mudan muttered in a low voice. Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Random?! No, no, no, this is definitely not random! Do you know? All great undertakings start from simplicity!" "It's like a towering tree trying to grow Success also starts from seeds! Life is not about filming, so why do you need so much sense of ritual? There are many things that I need to solve one by one, and it is not as simple as you think!" "Besides, I have no reason! I'm lying to you! It's not difficult even if you want to go home! How about just doing me a favor?" "And if this experiment succeeds in Jingjiang, I also want to open the girls' school to Xixia Country. ! Then you will be the savior of countless women in Xixia Kingdom! "" Think about those women who have been manipulated all their lives and have no chance to choose their own lives. How can you watch them suffer? ?!"

Half an hour later, a portrait of Peony riding a horse appeared on the paper. Lin Xiaofeng examined the work and nodded with satisfaction. Peony in the painting looks full of energy, riding on horseback, eyes like fire, looking straight ahead, her cloak fluttering in the wind, looking heroic. Next to it, several students were shaking cattail fans. Although the painter moved his brushes very quickly, the overall composition of the picture was already very complete and only needed a little modification in the future to make it shine.

Lin Xiaofeng carefully looked at the painting again, and after confirming that it was correct, he solemnly handed it to Hu Yimo, and repeatedly warned: "Old Hu, you have to carve it into a printing plate carefully, and then send it safely to the Beiling Newspaper Office. Remember Don't make any mistakes." Hu Yimo agreed. Lin Xiaofeng asked again: "The plaque in the teaching building has been hung. Are you interested in taking a look?" Hu Yimo's eyes flashed with anticipation and he replied: "Of course I want to!"

So, Lin Xiaofeng led the three girls to the front of the teaching building in a hurry. I saw that the deserted building in the past has now taken on a brand new look, with the three characters "Peony Building" shining brightly and with extraordinary momentum. When Mudan saw her name engraved on the plaque, she felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, even though she knew nothing about the courses she would teach in the future.

Lin Xiaofeng proudly showed them his high efficiency. The area has been demarcated and the name has been chosen. The next step is to formulate the rules and regulations of the girls' school, and then enrollment can begin. He generously said that the first batch of students will enjoy free admission and have the opportunity to receive scholarships. When Mudan heard this, she couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Mr. Lin, is what you said true?" Lin Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, giving her reassurance.

He admitted that he would invest 10,000 taels of his own money in advance to enroll women in school, and his funding would not stop until these women could become self-reliant. As long as his financial resources allow, he will spare no effort to support this project. When the three girls heard this, they were all moved, tears welled up in their eyes, and their gratitude was beyond words.

Peony lowered her head, her heart filled with gratitude. She couldn't help but want to ask Lin Xiaofeng why he did this, but Lin Xiaofeng just turned around, leaving a handsome back. He sighed softly and said, "This world shouldn't be like this." He talked about women's trampled dignity and bad customs, and expressed his determination to change everything with his own hands. He spent his whole life seeking the welfare of the people, hoping to promote change in the world.

The three girls were shocked when they heard these heartfelt words. Lin Xiaofeng turned around and saw Fu Lingzhi's eyes full of reverence, and couldn't help feeling a little proud. He extended an olive branch to Mudan, and his voice was low and magnetic: "Join us." Mudan was a little embarrassed at first, but she was soon driven by a sense of mission and loftiness. In the end, she was shaken and decided to join them. Career, he just made a request: "When I want to go home, you have to let me go back." Lin Xiaofeng readily agreed and promised to bear all her expenses in the capital and pay her monthly salary.

The next morning, Lin Xiaofeng came to the newspaper office alone, sat face to face with Xiang Xiehong, exchanged a few words, and then asked about the current situation of the newspaper office. Xiang Xiehong replied that everything was business as usual, but the new employees were a little unruly and asked for a salary increase. Lin Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said: "Our welfare benefits are already very good, but we can't spoil them anymore." He also talked about management methods and asked Xiang Xiehong to let go and come to him for discussion if there are any problems. While he was talking, someone brought a wooden board. Lin Xiaofeng pointed at the wooden board and said with a smile, "We have important matters to discuss today."

The reporter walked in with a brand new painting. The colors on the picture were jumping and vibrant. When Lin Xiaofeng saw this, he stood up before the reporter could say anything, and went up to him with a smile on his face, wanting to take the wooden drawing board he was holding. The reporter took a step back and looked at Xiang Xiehong next to him with some confusion. Xie Hong hurriedly explained: "This is Mr. Lin from our newspaper. If you have any questions, just tell him directly. You're welcome." After hearing this, the reporter immediately showed a happy look on his face and turned to Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng's smile was as warm as the spring breeze. He turned to Xiehong and asked, "Is this young man our newly selected reporter for management training?" The reporter and Xiehong were stunned for a moment, looking at each other with a trace of confusion in their eyes. Although Xie Hong was a little confused, he still responded calmly: "Yes, he is our newly selected management training reporter, Geng Xiangwen, come and meet Mr. Lin."

Geng Xiangwen said in shock: "I was selected? Is this true? Why didn't I receive the notice?" He walked forward with surprise and respectfully saluted Lin Xiaofeng: "Hello, Mr. Lin." Lin Xiaofeng said kindly He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good boy! Looking at your talent, you are outstanding. You are indeed an elite."

Then he asked with concern: "Xiehong and I were discussing the current situation of the newspaper. I heard that some employees are dissatisfied with their salaries. Is this true?" Geng Xiangwen hesitated, wanting to say something but not daring to say it. He thought to himself: Mr. Lin is the founder of the newspaper and has always been very frugal. It is said that his son's full-moon wine is served with vegetarian dishes. I'm afraid it will appear that I am too materialistic. But in the end he couldn't help but say it out: "Mr. Lin, there is indeed such a thing. But..."

Lin Xiaofeng interrupted him with a smile: "You don't need to say too much, I understand. If you have any difficulties or problems, just say it directly and don't discuss it privately." He warned: "But as a reporter, it is not good to value money too much. The future is the most important thing. Important. Have you heard the story of the fruit tree?”

"So as a management training reporter, your first task is to improve your professional level." Geng Xiangwen asked in confusion: "Mr. Lin, what is a management training reporter? No one told me." Lin Xiaofeng twirled his beard and explained: "You Ask and I’ll tell you. This is a special project related to our newspaper’s talent development and reserve program, which aims to develop future leaders.”

"The reason why I didn't tell you is because I'm afraid that you will become complacent and stop working hard. But since you are a loyal person, I will tell you. You must actively participate in all matters of the newspaper and master the whole process, so that you can take on important responsibilities in the future! Then fame and fortune will come naturally.”

Hearing the words "future leader", Geng Xiangwen was so excited that he didn't come back to his senses until Lin Xiaofeng finished speaking, and his heart beat faster. "Thank you Mr. Lin for your advice!" He was both excited and ashamed. In the past, we were fighting for two taels of silver per month, and the situation was too small! Thinking that there might be other management-trained reporters at the newspaper, he made up his mind to work overtime and surpass them.

"Okay, Xiao Geng, give me your things, you can go." Lin Xiaofeng took the board and waved him away. Geng Xiangwen said gratefully: "Yes! Mr. Lin!" After the door was closed, Xie Hong gave Lin Xiaofeng a thumbs up: "Master is really awesome!" Lin Xiaofeng smiled proudly: "Learn a lot." He guessed: "This kid He will definitely work overtime tonight. After he works overtime for several days, the news comes out that the newspaper company will lay off employees and let them compete with each other!" Xie Hong said in awe: "Understood!"

"But what's drawn on this board?" Lin Xiaofeng casually placed the board on the table. Xie Hong looked at the lifelike figure in the painting in surprise: "Is this Zhao Mudan?" Lin Xiaofeng sat down again, raised his head and replied: "Yes, that's her. She has made great contributions to the country now. I want to spread her deeds and think Open a college for women at Beilang University. "You have been in the newspaper office for a long time and know the public sentiment in Kyoto better than I do. What do you think of this idea?"

Xie Hong frowned and said: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Kyoto is different from Yangqu County, and you may not be able to suppress the discussion." "There is a women's college in the county that teaches various courses, but what will the people of Kyoto think? Then everyone will speak out. Jin, I'm afraid I don't have a good word. If there are rumors that Beilang University is colluding with brothels, its reputation will be ruined. ""And there are many rumors that are not good for the newspaper. If it damages the reputation of the newspaper, there will be no way back. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes turned sharp: "There are unfavorable rumors in the newspaper? What's the matter?" Xie Hong said helplessly: "It's the previous report about the Xixia Kingdom. Some people say that we are capricious and that we don't tell the truth. People That's what they were talking about." Lin Xiaofeng clenched his fists on the table: "These idiots! Who let them read the bound edition!"

Xie Hong shook his head and said: "The workload is heavy, so it is inevitable that there will be oversights. Some people say that we promote science every day, which is an insult to other folk beliefs." Lin Xiaofeng said coldly: "If metaphysics can grow food and produce penicillin, I will bomb Beilang University tomorrow!" "Ignore this nonsense, whoever controls productivity is the boss!" "Find more reporters and fight these two things! You have to handle it well and not let the people's comments cover up the newspaper's voice."

"The only one who can defeat our Beilang Newspaper is tomorrow's Beilang Newspaper! Okay, keep talking." Xie Hong nodded: "There is still a problem of manuscript submission. In the past, a copy of the newspaper would be sent to the palace, and there has been no problem so far. . But the issue involving women’s enrollment will inevitably cause an uproar, and the palace may not allow it.” Lin Xiaofeng raised his hand and said, “We have to hold Zhao Mudan as a role model first, so that she can be the first to enroll. Only students can silence those who oppose it. "But the newspaper wants to publicize Zhao Mudan. Will your Majesty agree?"

Lin Xiaofeng nodded slightly and said with a gentle smile on his face: "His Majesty is a very kind and generous monarch. He will definitely reward those who have meritorious service. You really don't have to worry. Maybe the ministers in the palace are still discussing it. How to reward you?"

He paused and then said: "Look, Mudan, as a maid of the Xixia Palace, is willing to risk her life to come to Jingjiang to inform us. Isn't this because your majesty's benevolence is admired by everyone in the world? Your majesty If I know this news, I will definitely feel happy.”

As he spoke, he took out a printing plate from his sleeve and handed it to Xiang Xiehong, "This printing plate has to be sent to the newspaper's printing shop. I want to publish Peony's deeds with words and pictures. Although this The cost will be higher, but it’s worth it.”

Xiang Xiehong took the printing plate, looked at it carefully, frowned and said: "The lines on this printing plate are too thin, and the printed words and pictures may be blurred. Besides, we really have to print them on the newspaper at the same time Can people accept this new form of reporting using words and pictures?”

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said, "This is indeed our first time trying to add pictures to a newspaper, so there may be some problems. But there are so many skilled craftsmen in the printing shop. We can increase the reward and let them work hard to overcome this technical problem."

A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "I can guarantee that this issue of the newspaper will definitely become a classic. Think about it, if such a beautiful pattern appears in a newspaper for the first time, the people will definitely talk about it. Maybe They laughed from ear to ear when they saw this picture.”

Xiang Xiehong nodded, and then asked curiously: "Then what are your plans next?"

Lin Xiaofeng fell into deep thought after hearing this. What he said before was indeed somewhat ill-considered. The majors in girls' schools must be carefully set up, otherwise one wrong step may lead to overwhelming criticism. Some concepts were so deeply ingrained that he did not dare to challenge them easily, let alone those in the imperial court.

Kyoto is the center of the world, and any disturbance here may attract the attention of the court. Maybe one day the court will issue an order, and all his efforts will be in vain, and he may even have to go to the palace to be punished.

He sighed and said: "Next, I plan to mainly promote medicine. Girls study medicine and treat diseases and save people. This is always a good thing, right?"

He paused and then said: "Moreover, we can also let them participate in some research work. There are many research institutes in the county, and we can send potential students to the county for further study."

Having said this, he smiled helplessly, "Now I can't count on the Royal Academy."

He took a deep breath and said, "In the early days, I plan to invest ten thousand taels of silver to fully support these female students so that they don't have to spend a penny until the atmosphere in Kyoto changes."

"The princess will serve as the dean of the college. With the support of the newspaper and the Royal Guards, I believe that within a few years, people's ideas will change."

Xiang Xiehong was surprised, "How much money will it cost? Master, if it fails, won't the money be wasted? Even if you have money, you can't waste it like this."

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and waved his hand, "Oh, you still have to take a long-term view. If this thing comes to pass, there will be many opportunities to make money in the future."

He smiled proudly, "You don't know how strong the purchasing power of women is. By then, the products in our county can be sold to other places. Not to mention anything else, sanitary napkins alone can make people We made a lot of money!”

In fact, sanitary napkins have been around for a long time. Unfortunately, they are selling well in the county, but their promotion outside has not been smooth. After Lin Xiaofeng put in so much effort, he couldn't come back empty-handed, could he? Thinking of this, he felt happy.

In the past, there was a capitalist Cyrus Field who laid the Atlantic submarine cable in order to conduct telegraph business. Now I, Lin Xiaofeng, promote sanitary napkins in order to improve the status of women. I can gain fame and make money at the same time. This is also a good story. I have to write a separate chapter in history for me!
"Well, sir, you are really thoughtful. How should the newspaper office cooperate with you?" Xiang Xiehong asked.

"I came to you today just to discuss the next plan first, and then everyone will act according to the plan. The initial publicity will be based on the admissions standards of Kong Aiguo and Beilang University." Lin Xiaofeng replied.

Xiang Xiehong frowned, "This trick has been used for a long time. Is it too old?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether the tricks are new or not, what's important is that they work. Successful models that have been proven should be used repeatedly to lead to greater success. My routine will soon be learned by others. So we need to use it while it’s still valuable.”

Xiang Xiehong nodded and started recording.

Lin Xiaofeng continued: "After enrolling students, I will focus on training the first batch of students and select the outstanding ones to be sent to the hospital for internship. If you continue to publicize the cases of female patients, your reputation will soon spread."

He thought for a while and then said: "The newspaper can also consider recruiting some female employees, because sometimes it may be inconvenient for male reporters to cover female topics. At present, this market is still blank. After the first batch of students graduate, we The reputation has already been accumulated.”

Xiang Xiehong said while recording: "If you really want women to join the newspaper, you may need to buy another building as an office location. After all, they are not just maids and women who can place them casually."

"Then buy it. It's best to separate it from your current office location." Lin Xiaofeng replied.

He continued: "After the reputation of the first batch of students is established, the work in the second phase will be much easier. I plan to recruit a group of beautiful and smart girls and let them directly enter college classes. Now Beijing Lang University’s junior college class is already very famous, but there has never been a women’s junior college class, which will definitely attract everyone’s attention.”

"After these girls graduate, I will find some famous wealthy businessmen and senior officials in the capital to help them find suitable in-laws!"

Xiang Xiehong's mouth twitched slightly, "Then don't we become pimps?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head, "We don't charge agency fees, we just want to help them find a good home! Then the newspaper will publicize the news that these girls have married rich people or high-ranking officials, so that their worth will not increase. Will it be promoted immediately?”

He smiled proudly and said, "Think about it, after a rural girl passes the college entrance examination, she can marry a rich man as his wife or concubine, and she can also receive a bride price of 1,888 taels of silver." , which family wouldn’t be moved?”

"This first step is just to dispel people's doubts about new things, and this step is our heavy blow! These ordinary people cannot escape the word 'greed'."

Xiang Xiehong said with some worry: "But this does not seem to be in line with the educational purposes of Beilang University. Moreover, the knowledge and literacy of these girls may not be deep enough. How can we convince the public?"

"Proper use is justice. Although it may conflict with the school's philosophy in the short term, we can make appropriate compromises for the long-term goal." Lin Xiaofeng replied calmly, "As for how to convince the public, we can open a separate school for them Class, as long as you do a good job of keeping things confidential, that's all. "Anyway, those students who had an affair with the professor in the previous life were able to retain their postgraduate qualifications, which shows that there is a scientific basis for this!"

Xiang Xiehong continued to record, "Then what should we do next?"

Lin Xiaofeng pondered for a moment and then sighed: "Well...if everything goes well, we can get back on track."

"Regularly publish some news about the outstanding contributions made by women, and at the same time put some news about scumbag men who violate laws and disciplines and are offensive to the comparison and layout. There must be a strong contrast effect."

"In short, we want to give people a feeling: women are no worse than men, and they have also made important contributions to the development of Jingjiang. That's about it. You should do the preliminary preparations today. The following manuscript must be Consider carefully."

"Then Master, when do you plan to start?" Xiang Xiehong asked.

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a while and replied: "We will start taking action immediately after the printing plate problem is solved. Before that, you first select some news reports about tragic women. There is also the problem of abandoned babies in Jingjiang. We must focus on describing it. It’s so miserable that people can’t bear to watch it and it arouses public anger!”

Three days later, the newspaper's carefully polished article was finally published. This article focusing on the abandoned baby girl immediately aroused widespread social attention. There is an elegant study room inside the newspaper office, and reporters have developed the habit of collecting information from all parties. They have the purpose of reflecting public opinion and speaking out for the people. They all have a sage heart and are full of passion to expose social injustice. They have always heard of heinous acts such as abandoning babies.

However, the reports in the past were scattered and did not create any waves in society. From ancient times to the present, abandoning babies has become a bad habit that is difficult to eradicate, especially the abandonment of female babies. Although successive governments have explicitly banned it and even tried various methods to deal with it, the effect has always been minimal. This seems to have become an unspoken rule among the people. This is not because the government is not trying its best, nor is it because the people are inherently morally corrupt. It is actually forced by the cruel reality. In that era of low productivity and scarce resources, this bad habit turned into a helpless choice to adapt to the environment.

This time, the newspaper devoted a large space to an in-depth report on the tragic fate of abandoned babies. Originally, in order to promote the establishment of girls' schools, the topic was chosen to focus on the suffering of women. But after discussing with Xiang Xiehong, Lin Xiaofeng decided to focus on the abandoned baby girl. They thought about it again and again and felt that this angle was more touching. Baby girls are too weak, always ignored, and unable to protect themselves. Lin Xiaofeng began to pay attention to their fate very early.

He also thought of the tough character and profound cultural heritage of the Jingjiang nation. This country and its people can withstand unimaginable pressures. Even if they suffer great grievances and have their character trampled on, they can endure the humiliation and bear the burden. But they will never tolerate the suffering of their offspring, even those families who abandoned their babies with their own hands. If someone dares to touch their children, they will definitely fight back. For their children, they can give everything.

The newspaper published this article in a large space, including the reporter's in-depth investigation and precious information from the county chronicle. “The drowning of female infants has become a common custom since I don’t know when.” “If the first child in the family is a daughter, she may be able to survive; but if two daughters are born in a row, she will not be able to escape. The misfortune of abandonment. These poor baby girls were put on the death list as soon as they were born, before they could cry. "They often immerse the baby girls in cold water. Although the parents can't bear it, they often do so. He would close his eyes, turn his back to the baby girl, and cruelly press her into the basin until her life died."

This article caused an uproar in society, and the issue of abandoned babies became a hot topic in Kyoto. People's scars were ruthlessly uncovered, leaving them all heartbroken and filled with regret.

On the cusp of this storm, Lin Xiaofeng went to the East Palace first. He had been immersed in information about abandoned babies these past few days and felt extremely heavy. He hadn't seen his son for a long time, so he came to the East Palace to visit. Li Dexian came over personally holding Lin Hongwan in his arms. Lin Xiaofeng teased her son lovingly, and her heart was filled with emotion. Hearing that his son could speak made him truly feel like a father. But my son was still young and couldn't speak clearly yet. After teasing him for a while, he started crying for milk.

Li Dexian looked at all this with a smile. He waited until his son was taken away and then said: "Old Lin, you are really irresponsible as a father. Now you remember that you have a son?" Lin Xiaofeng rubbed his eyebrows. He sighed and said, "I'm busy. Although my son is very good, there are more important things waiting for me to do. I can only give up my little family to take care of everyone."

Li Dexian asked curiously: "I read the whole page of the newspaper today, which was full of reports about abandoned babies. Does it have something to do with you?" Lin Xiaofeng nodded and shook his head and said, "Yes or no! It's mainly to give women The opening of the school is a campaign to reduce the opposition, so I started writing the report about the baby girl. What do you think after reading the news?"

"Girls' school? What do you think?" Li Dexian said with a subtle expression, "Old Lin, you really dare to think about it!" "Hey, why didn't I think of this idea? After paying the tuition fee, I can...tsk, tsk, tsk, my moral ethics don't allow me to think like this Ah! "Li Dexian is getting more and more bottomless!" Look at his shameless look! Lin Xiaofeng looked at him with contempt and said: "I thought Your Highness you could say some noble words for the people! I didn't expect to say such vulgar words! I have never seen such a shameless person like you!"

However, Li Dexian smiled and said indifferently: "I learned this from the teacher! But why did you suddenly make such a big move?" Lin Xiaofeng said seriously: "For what? For fairness and justice! In my heart I have great ambitions! "Besides, as a consort, I am also your Majesty's servant! Building a prosperous, harmonious and beautiful country is what I should do!"

"Oh, okay, okay! Father is not here, so stop talking about these big words!" Li Dexian interrupted Lin Xiaofeng's tirade, "Opening a girls' school is unprecedented! And educating girls doesn't sound reliable. "How sure are you that you can succeed?" Lin Xiaofeng pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say clearly, but it always requires people to do it." "I have three strategies: First, arouse the sympathy of the people. , set an example to promote the opening of girls’ schools. “Secondly, let girls have the opportunity to prove themselves and change their destiny.” “Finally, let them take on social responsibilities to alleviate the problem of abandoned babies. Then we can only do our best and obey fate.”

Li Dexian listened carefully and then said: "I have no objection to your plan, but I think you should solve the problem of abandoned baby girls first." "If the families who kill their babies are so poor, why do they still have children? What? I really can’t figure it out! The court should ban those families who can’t afford to have children!” Lin Xiaofeng’s face suddenly turned serious, and he said, “Your Highness, what you said is so ridiculous!” You seem to be thinking about the people, but in fact you don't treat the poor as human beings at all! Killing babies is hateful, but reproduction is the most basic right of everyone, and it is beyond reproach!" "No matter what! Whether it is poor people or rich people, they all want to have their own offspring. As for raising children, that is a matter later. ""If you prohibit the poor from having children today, will you also prohibit the poor from breathing tomorrow? ? You must not have this idea!”

Seeing Lin Xiaofeng being so serious, Li Dexian waved his hands nervously and said, "Oh, Lao Lin, don't take it seriously. I was just joking!" "Of course I believe His Highness." "Okay, okay, I won't get involved. If you need help with anything, just tell me." Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Okay, I really want to ask you for help with something! I want to find a beautiful woman. Are you interested?" Li Dexian said with a smile: "Haha, your fox tail is finally exposed! Of course I won't refuse, haha!" "Haha, it depends on whether they are willing or not! When the time comes, you can change into regular clothes and I will take you on a blind date!" Li Dexian fell into fantasy. Going on a blind date in private is really interesting! "Your Highness, are there any new developments in the court today?" Li Dexian came back to his senses and said: "Oh, oh, yes, yes! After you left, I went to talk to my father about the Jin Yiwei. But my father A person has been transferred from the Ministry of War to replace the commander of Jinyiwei. His name is Wu Shengguang. I don’t know why my father chose him. Logically speaking, talents should be promoted from within Jinyiwei, right?" Lin Xiaofeng shrugged. : "Let His Majesty arrange it as he pleases! Did anyone mention this matter in today's news? And what kind of reward will Zhao Mudan get?" "Someone did mention the baby girl, but it's all It was an understatement. As for Zhao Mudan’s award, it’s really a difficult problem! She is from Xixia, so it’s hard to decide how to award it. She is still thinking about it and said: “This question is actually. It's not difficult to solve. Your Highness, when you go to court tomorrow, you can just build a stone square for Zhao Mudan and reward him with some gold and silver jewelry. "The reward from the court came very quickly. promulgated. That cunning Li Dexian came up with an idea to build a stone archway in North Langfang, and he asked for gold, brocade, food and so on. The court was very happy to hear this, and felt that this was not a big deal. As long as the reward was appropriate, it didn't matter how much it was. The key was to show that the court was clear about rewards and punishments.

As soon as the edict was issued, the sealing workshop was able to do its job efficiently. The new version of the impression is really brand new. In the printing workshop, Lin Xiaofeng took the newly printed samples and looked at them over and over. Xiang Xiehong came over and asked, "Master, what do you think of this?" Lin Xiaofeng nodded: "Not bad, not bad, very good! Are your manuscripts ready? We have to print a lot today, twice the usual quantity. "Xiang Xiehong was a little worried: "Twice? Is it too much? Don't waste it." Lin Xiaofeng looked at Zhao Mudan's handsome appearance and said, "Maybe twice is not enough."

"Why do you say that?" Lin Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously but did not answer. As soon as this first page of the newspaper comes out, as many people as possible must see Zhao Mudan's portrait and praise her as the goddess of Xixia Kingdom. In the next few editions, we have to add stories and connotations to her, so that the publicity effect will be strong, just like the debut of a female star. Besides, Zhao Mudan is already good-looking, with a face that is characteristic of Xixia people, and the portrait is so lifelike. When the time comes, everyone will definitely be rushing to buy the newspaper, so savor it!

Lin Xiaofeng even thought about changing the painting on the printing plate into a cool version. Those crude erotic pictures on the market can arouse people's interest. Who can resist seeing such realistic sketches? But this idea was quickly abandoned. It's so unkind to do this to a girl! After all, he is still a motivated young man with a bottom line.

"The newspaper is so beautifully printed, don't you want to buy another copy for your collection?" Lin Xiaofeng teased Xiang Xiehong. Xiang Xiehong was stunned, picked up the sample and looked at it carefully, and then said: "Master, I found a good opportunity to make money!" "Oh? Come on!" Lin Xiaofeng's eyes lit up. "Our printing technology is so good. If we print a batch of beautiful women's playing cards or beautiful women's calendars, they will definitely sell like crazy in the county!" Xiang Xiehong suggested. "Beauty playing cards? Beauty calendar?" Lin Xiaofeng twitched his lips, wondering why this idea was thought of first.

"Yes! That's what I mean." Xiang Xiehong nodded and said, "I think this is quite promising. We can print some elegant and beautiful works to avoid being said to be immoral." "Hey, are you and Zhou Master, have you discussed it?" Lin Xiaofeng asked speechlessly. Xiang Xiehong usually looks quite serious, why is his idea so crooked? "We do have some communication on a daily basis. How do you know, sir?" Xiang Xiehong asked. "Well, it seems that you are really good at making money. Go back to the county and follow this plan. The calendar should be printed in two versions, one with clothes on and one without clothes. The version without clothes should be printed Hand-painted, sold privately for a hundred times the price!”

"Okay! Master, I'll do it right away." Just like that, the world's first edition of a newspaper with pictures of beauties went on sale. On the day of the release, every newspaper reading office in Kyoto was packed with people as usual. The newspaper reader looked at the crowd and felt that the number was almost there, so he gently tapped the big bowl containing the coins and took another sip of tea from the small teapot. Then he shook the newspaper and said: "Today we are still talking about the infanticide and abandonment case in Kyoto." The onlookers were not happy when they heard this. "Why are you talking about this again! It's so annoying to hear this every day. Every time I close my eyes, I see the shadow of a dead baby!"

"That's right, that's right, let's change the topic and stop reading this!" Everyone complained. "Change the topic!" The newspaper reader sighed. He didn't want to read about such a heavy topic every day. But now no one reads the six newspapers, and the Beilang Newspaper Office specializes in writing about this matter. He is helpless because of the sharp drop in income. The newspaper reader adjusted his glasses, raised his head slightly and looked at everyone and said, "Then let's talk about other things first." "Okay, okay~~" the crowd cheered. It would be nice to listen to something more relaxing, why bother always dwelling on such heavy topics!
"Then let's talk about the scientific reasons for the mystery of the dead babies in the women's toilet." "It's really endless!" As soon as the newspaper reader finished speaking, all kinds of debris flew towards him like snowflakes, and even the complaints continued. sounded. Why does scientific exploration have to be related to babies? The newspaper reader dodged left and right, begging for mercy: "Don't throw it away, don't throw it away, it's not my fault! There are other news!" The people stared at the newspaper reader eagerly. The newspaper reader turned over the other side of the newspaper helplessly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he rubbed his eyes and looked carefully. Huh! This news also comes with pictures!
"Big news! Big news! Our country defeated the Xixia Army, and among them were women from the Xixia Kingdom who assisted us. The court specially gave us a reward..." The newspaper reader read this, and the crowd below exclaimed. Voice. However, this exclamation is mainly for the rewards. As for the meritorious service of Xixia women, not many people discuss it. Newspaper readers were very anxious when they saw this situation, because the most exciting part of today's newspaper was that picture. But the pictures cannot be described orally to everyone, so they can only look at them eagerly. In desperation, the newspaper reader had an idea and shouted: "Today's newspaper is very special. It has a portrait of a Xixia woman, as beautiful as a fairy, lifelike!" "Those who want to see it have a penny to queue up. Watch! Thank you all!”

After the newspaper reader finished speaking, he showed the pictures in the newspaper to the audience in the front row. The audience in the front row suddenly exclaimed. "Wow! She is such a beauty, she looks so much like her in the painting!" someone shouted, and the people behind her became even more curious. Ninety-nine percent of the people who come to listen to the newspaper are men. When you hear that there are stunning beauties, how can you not read it? After a commotion, the crowd began to line up in an orderly manner. The newspaper reader stared at the big bowl of money and smiled from ear to ear. He really made a lot of money today! At this moment, a head suddenly popped out from next to a man who was looking at the painting attentively. The man said unhappily: "Who are you? Did you pay to see it? You just came here to join in the fun."

But the man didn't care. He looked at the painting with all his attention. He licked his lips and said, "This painting is really good. You should buy a copy and go home and enjoy it slowly." The man satirized him and said, "Since you can read, why do you still need to read?" Are you here to listen to someone reading a newspaper?" The man turned his head and looked at each other, showing a knowing smile between men: "Why should I be literate?" The man was stunned for a moment, and his breathing quickened: "Then what do you want to do? ?" The man nodded and said, "Collect it!" The man laughed naively: "Me too!" "Come on, brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it if you go late!" "Brother, what do you call me?" ”

The capital city has been very lively recently, and people are talking lively in the streets and alleys. News from newspapers comes one after another, and private topics are also divided into two camps. On the one hand, everyone is hotly discussing the incidents of abandoned babies in the past; on the other hand, everyone's eyes are focused on the legendary woman Zhao Mudan. Newspaper reports not only added a legendary touch to Zhao's life, but also made people's humanistic feelings stronger.

Zhao Mudan, this radiant Xixia woman from a poor background, is filial, diligent, fluent in foreign languages, and a master of horse training. She lives on only five hours of sleep every day, and has always been yearning for Jingjiang's culture. When she heard that her motherland was about to launch an unjust war, she decided to go to Jingjiang alone to turn the tide. After the war, she watched a play in the North Corridor in Beijing. The play praising peace made her burst into tears, and the audience also understood deeply. The motherland was unkind to her, but Jingjiang treated her with courtesy. Her tears may explain everything. However, why she was crying remains a mystery.

While everyone was talking, some people began to feel confused and felt that they could not understand what was in the newspaper. This caring and radiant heroine seems to have a mole between her eyebrows, exuding enchanting charm. Alone, she might be able to save countless soldiers on the battlefield, who are all her relatives. Facing such a morally noble woman, can you understand her? However, there are also some less qualified people who are even more excited about it.

As public sentiment continues to rise, the news about Beilang University Girls' School has once again attracted widespread attention. The news that Zhao Mudan was specially recruited was overwhelming, and the excitement was no less than the grand occasion when the school recruited students. The hustle and bustle of the people is in sharp contrast to the desertedness of the court. The officials kept complaining privately, especially Lin Xiaofeng, who refused to give up even if he resigned! I thought that when he left, the world would be at peace, but who would have thought that he would come back like this again. His military exploits should have been wiped out, and the court gave His Majesty face, so no one said anything. But now that he is here again, it really makes people think that he is great because he was an emperor!

He first provoked the abandoned baby incident and brought disgrace to the court! Xixia has been defeated, and the prosperous age is just around the corner. Does he have to come to tarnish it all and make everyone unhappy? Let’s not talk about the abandoned baby. Now he has set his sights on women all over the world and wants to set up a college. This is simply intolerable! The atmosphere in the court was very tense for a time.

Cai Yingyang stood in the center of the court and made an impassioned speech: "Your Majesty, the Beilang Daily's continuous reports on the incident of abandoned babies have aroused public outrage. Please ask your Majesty to immediately issue an order to prohibit this behavior." Emperor Jingjiang rubbed his temples and felt a headache. . Lin Xiaofeng is so capable! He can cause so many troubles even when he is not in the palace. "The news from Beiling Newspaper Office is sent to the palace for review every day. This matter is indeed true. Does Cai Aiqing think there is anything wrong?" Emperor Jingjiang asked, "Your Majesty, the chaotic phenomenon of abandoned babies has been around since ancient times. Those villages Couples do not know how to educate, so they have this bad habit. The imperial court has established Baoying Halls in various places to solve this problem, but our Jingjiang area is vast, and this problem cannot be solved in a short time." Yang replied, "Now Beilang Newspaper has brought old issues to the table for discussion. I don't know what their purpose is, but it definitely has disadvantages rather than benefits."

The emperor nodded, looked around and said: "Although this is an old matter, it is obvious that this issue has been brewing for a long time. We cannot ignore it, let alone let the situation continue to spread, otherwise where is the prestige of the court?" "The Ministry of Household Affairs has What do you think?" Shu Wenxu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I also agree with Mr. Cai. The most important thing at the moment is to eliminate the impact. The subsequent problems can only be solved slowly." "I have already investigated it. We have seen the situation in Baoyingtang, and the investment has been huge but the results have been little. If we continue to increase expenditures from the Ministry of Household Affairs, it will probably waste a lot of money." He continued, "Now that Xixia has just been defeated, the military expenditure is too large, which has led to excessive financial expenditure. Nervous. Moreover, Xixia does not have much cash to pay compensation, so it can only use land and materials to mortgage or postpone repayment. "As for other measures, the local government can be ordered to strengthen supervision." , impose heavy penalties on families that abandon babies!”

At this time, Bai Yongyuan stood up: "I do not agree with this view. Abandoning babies is a helpless choice made because of the inability to raise them. If they are punished severely, it will undoubtedly force the people to go to a dead end. But the book What your Excellency said is indeed true. We have invested a lot, but have achieved little, and the court's expenditure is indeed difficult. "So I suggest that we just order the Beilang Newspaper to continue to report on this matter." It won't take long for the people's public opinion to calm down, and the matter will be solved invisibly. As for the actual problem, we will discuss it later. "I second it!" Others agreed in unison. The emperor also nodded slightly to express his agreement with this idea. After all, this is a problem that has never been completely solved since ancient times. Since this issue has never caused a major social problem, the best solution is to shelve it for now and solve it slowly in the future. "Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being, but we can't ignore it. We are ordering the Baoying Halls in various places to carefully consider the situation of abandoned babies in various places and not to be careless." "Your Majesty is wise!" Cai Ying After Yang said this, he continued: "I still have something to do to impeach Prince Consort Lin Xiaofeng for secretly setting up a women's college and disrupting the civil society!" As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions became inexplicably complicated.

To be honest, no one wants to directly provoke Lin Xiaofeng now. After all, His Majesty has dismissed him from his post and all military honors have been cancelled. It would be somewhat troublesome to provoke him at this time. Moreover, there were some people in various departments in the imperial court who were members of the mission, and they had all received kindness from Lin Xiaofeng. To be honest, everyone also thinks of him well in their hearts. After all, when the Xixia Kingdom's life was hanging by a thread, Lin Xiaofeng was always at the forefront, so everyone knows the general situation. You, Cai Yingyang, are a bit unreasonable! You should at least wait until he makes a big deal before impeaching him! Although everyone is opposed to the girls' school, don't target Lin Xiaofeng by name! Have you, the people on the mission, never been to the Xixia Kingdom? !
Emperor Jingjiang also frowned: "Didn't the establishment of a women's college at Beilang University just happen in the past two days?! I have known about it for a long time, but Lin Xiaofeng has not violated the law, so there is no need to discuss this matter. Come on!" Cai Yingyang said loudly: "Your Majesty, this matter is not that simple! Since ancient times, women have to abide by the rules of obeying their husbands and raising their children! If this behavior is allowed to continue! If so, I don’t know how many women will be ready to make a move in the future, which will not be a good thing!" After looking around for a week, Emperor Jingjiang found that everyone nodded silently and agreed with him: "Although the outside world thinks that. The Royal Academy and Beilang University are integrated, but in fact Beilang University was built by Lin Xiaofeng and has nothing to do with the royal family!" "Since so many people have objections, let Lin Xiaofeng come to the court tomorrow! How about you solve this problem face to face?" Cai Yingyang bowed his hands and said, "Thank you for your grace!"

Lao Lin, you have really stirred up a hornet's nest this time. Now the high-ranking officials have objections to you. In the newspaper office, Lin Xiaofeng leisurely drank tea, ate snacks, and casually read folk rumors. So far, the response from the people has been pretty good, and not many people are opposed to his enrollment proposal this time. This is also due to the paving work he has done before. He made people see how pitiful the abandoned baby girl was, and successfully shaped Zhao Mudan's image. Coupled with the help of his wife, there was not much opposition from the public.

However, some literati still criticized him privately. But these are nothing to fear. Lin Xiaofeng put down the newspaper and thought: "Who in the court is having trouble with me?"

"It seems that the ministers headed by Cai Yingyang are not very happy. The emperor has not expressed his position yet. He feels that Beiling University is your private matter and does not want to interfere too much. He is ready to sit back and watch the show."

"Then what should we do?" Li Dexian asked while eating.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled: "This matter is related to traditional moral concepts. Those old stubborns will definitely jump. I have been mentally prepared for a long time." "Not only are you prepared, have you even thought of a response strategy?" Li Dexian was curious. asked.

Lin Xiaofeng asked, "What would you do if it were you?"

Li Dexian stretched out two fingers: "I have two tricks. One is to give them benefits, so that they will feel it is profitable, so they will naturally support them. The other is to be reasonable and overwhelm them with morality. As long as the father does not interfere, I can use these two tricks. It all works.”

Lin Xiaofeng sighed: "You are right, but it is difficult to implement in practice."

"Why?" Li Dexian refused.

"Let's talk about benefits first. We don't run girls' schools to make money. I just want to give women a better future. It's more like doing charity. The future success and impact are unknown. I believe women will create a lot of value. , to promote social development, but can you attract others with an uncertain future?”

Li Dexian frowned: "What about the second move? From a moral perspective, the establishment of a girls' school may reduce the number of abandoned babies among the people. Can they still refute it?"

"What a big mistake!" Lin Xiaofeng retorted directly, "You are indeed right, no one can deny it. But the veterans in the court have rich experience in debating and will not be easily led by you. They will say that you are doing this to destroy You have upheld one kind of morality, but destroyed another. They will weigh the pros and cons and criticize you as useless. Do you think there is hope?"

Li Dexian was confused: "It seems there is no hope. I can't think of a better way. What will you do?"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly: "I will mess around with them first, disrupt their thinking rhythm, and take the initiative. It's like fighting, morale is the most important! I can be shameless when necessary, since we don't have official positions anyway, so we can relax. "

Li Dexian said with a grimace: "I can't learn this trick. You always speak so subversively. I don't dare to say it."

"Then what? What should we do after we gain the initiative?" Li Dexian asked curiously.

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath: "Then I will play the emotional card."

Li Dexian was stunned: "Old Lin, don't you know how annoying you are?"

Lin Xiaofeng said displeased: "Am I annoying? I'm very popular!" He cleared his throat and continued, "I have always been pragmatic and like to use logic and facts to speak. But although pragmatism and logic are good, there is one thing that is more powerful than them. ”

"What?" Li Dexian asked curiously.

"Emotions or feelings. Emotions are unreasonable, and although facts and logic may seem impeccable, they will often be defeated once they confront the master's emotions. As long as the emotions of hundreds of officials in the court can be mobilized, the subsequent Things will become relatively easy. This matter does not touch their interests, but only their ideas, so as long as the emotions are in place, the force of the rebound will overwhelm the opposition!”

Li Dexian shook his head: "I still don't quite understand. You also said that the ministers in the court are all experienced people. Are their emotions more easily incited than ordinary people?"

"It is not incitement, but guidance, to bring out the deepest emotions in people's hearts. Although the ministers in the court are rich in experience, they are not necessarily emotionally stronger than ordinary people. Some may even be richer, but they just hide it deeper. " Lin Xiaofeng explained, "Don't underestimate the power of people's emotions. Dynasties in this world change, but some religions can survive for thousands of years. This is the reason why people are alive and the dead are ascended to heaven. Emotions need to be regulated, and these are the main services provided by religion. No one can live in this world completely rationally, and the power of irrationality is beyond your imagination.”

Lin Xiaofeng continued: "It's not enough to arouse the emotions of the officials. We also need to make people speechless in order to completely eliminate future troubles."

"How to finalize the decision?" Li Dexian asked curiously.

"Public opinion! Absolute public opinion! This is their irrefutable righteousness. If the public opinion supports us, then what else is there to talk about? How could the emperor not support us?" Lin Xiaofeng said with confidence. .

Li Dexian felt itchy in his heart, rubbed his hands and said, "It's so powerful, why don't you tell me directly so that I can have an idea."

"Don't worry, you will know tomorrow." Lin Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously.

·······
Early the next morning, many ministers gathered outside the Meridian Gate, some chatting leisurely, and some enjoying breakfast. Lin Xiaofeng came slowly in a sedan chair. As soon as he got off the sedan chair, he attracted everyone's attention. He stretched out like a normal person, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then greeted everyone with a smile: "Long time no see, everyone! Are you all okay?"

Although everyone greeted Lin Xiaofeng with smiles, they turned their heads and ignored him. Only Cai Yingyang, whose old eyes were as wide as bells, stared at Lin Xiaofeng fiercely, as if he wanted to see through him. Lin Xiaofeng wanted to open a women's college and publicized it in newspapers. Even his precious granddaughter knew about it and clamored to go out to study. Doesn't this disrupt the family tradition? His little granddaughter was crying and making trouble. When had there ever been such farce in the family? The Yang family has always been a family of reading, poetry and etiquette, but now the descendants want to be confused with Mudlegzi. Fortunately, the emperor gave Lin Xiaofeng a chance to openly argue today, so he must talk to him properly!
Lin Xiaofeng also looked sideways at Cai Yingyang. Ever since he entered the court, the old man had treated him with a nose other than his nose and eyes other than his eyes. Although there was no major conflict of interest between the two, they just had different ideas, and Cai Yingyang wanted to bite him whenever he got the chance. I don’t know what’s going on today. I’m so angry that I resigned from my job. Why are you so ruthless? Look at his attitude today, as if he wants to eat me alive! Thinking of this, Lin Xiaofeng smiled and cupped his hands: "Master Cai, it's been a long time." "I don't dare to take it for granted. Lin Duwei was once a popular figure in front of the emperor. I, an old man like me, don't dare to reach for it." Cai Ying said. He replied lukewarmly.

Everyone covered their mouths and watched the show. Lin Xiaofeng's face froze slightly and he cursed in his heart. This old man really specializes in picking people to trample on! Seeing the sarcastic smile on Cai Yingyang's lips, Lin Xiaofeng had no choice but to laugh a few times: "Master Cai is quite self-aware at his age." "You!" Cai Yingyang glared and flicked his sleeves. He turned away angrily. I almost forgot, I haven’t dealt with this shameless person for a long time, it’s really irritating!

"Master Cai, where did I provoke you? When I heard that I was going to open a college, you were the first to object. Although I no longer have an official position, I still have the title of Prince Consort, and you can't help but step on me. Me?" Lin Xiaofeng asked calmly. Cai Yingyang said disdainfully: "That you open is called an academy? Lieutenant Lin, since you know that you are a prince-in-law, you are recruiting girls into Beiling Academy on a large scale. This has made people panic. Women don't want to stay at home to raise their children." , How is this inappropriate?" After that, his voice became louder and louder, and the people around him began to whisper, and some people nodded in agreement from time to time.

Lin Xiaofeng looked around and saw that everyone was watching the joke, so he narrowed his eyes and said, "I think you are determined to make things difficult for me. It's useless to talk more. Let's go to the emperor to argue." That's it, Cai Yingyang He no longer had a sullen face, sneered, and muttered in a low voice: "I just want to fight you, and I will never let you ruin the atmosphere of the court!" "Don't talk about this academy, even if you want to relax in Wangping County I won't let you succeed in business matters." "Don't think that I can't see the drama you and Shangshu put on in the court. Isn't Zhao Zhongzhan yours?" "Humph!" The old man blushed and turned away.

At this time, in the palace, "Your Majesty, there is a dispute outside the Meridian Gate." Wang Jingwen reported in a low voice. "Is it Lin Xiaofeng?" "It's Captain Lin and Master Cai who are arguing." Emperor Jingjiang chuckled as he picked up the tea cup and was about to drink tea. "These two people really can't live in peace for a moment." A group of ministers filed into the hall and returned to their familiar jobs. Lin Xiaofeng was filled with emotion. He looked up and saw Emperor Jingjiang sitting on the dragon chair staring at him. His eyes were unpredictable. He could only squeeze out a silly smile first, and Emperor Jingjiang glanced at him. He looked away and thought to himself: This beast can really keep his composure and return to Beijing without coming to see me for so long. It seems that he doesn't want to be an official anymore. He really deserves a beating!

After the ministers saluted, Emperor Jingjiang said: "Yesterday, Cai Aiqing impeached Lin Xiaofeng for opposing his opening of a girls' school. Today Lin Xiaofeng is also here. You can confront him face to face." Cai Yingyang immediately answered: "I still said what I said yesterday. As the old saying goes, although it doesn’t seem to be a big deal for women to go to school now, it will definitely disrupt social order in the future, and Captain Lin is considered a member of the royal family as a consort, so doing so will disgrace the royal family and make everyone in the world laugh! "

Lin Xiaofeng said calmly: "Your Majesty, please listen to me. Beiling Academy is my private property and I have the right to dispose of it. My admission of students regardless of gender does not violate any laws of our Jingjiang Kingdom. Mr. Cai What he said is purely nonsense, and it is entirely his personal subjective assumption. To put it seriously, it is a slander against me. "Besides, my Beiling Women's College is personally managed by the princess!" , now that he has joined our college, the people are very yearning for our school, so how can he make the world laugh at him? I am afraid that Mr. Cai has been sitting in a high position for too long and has no understanding of the public sentiment. "

Cai Ying raised his eyebrows and said: "Subjective assumptions? Although Beiling Academy is nominally your private property, everyone thinks that it is integrated with the Royal Academy. All the ministers here think so too, right?" When it comes to public sentiment, Captain Lin, you only know the public sentiment in Kyoto, right? Our ministers in the court are role models for scholars across the country, and their ideas can represent the public sentiment in the north and south of our country." The ministers all nodded in agreement! . Li Dexian looked expectantly, because today's situation was very unfavorable to Lin Xiaofeng, and he didn't know how Lin Xiaofeng would turn things around.

Seeing that the situation was very good, Cai Yingyang continued: "Not only that, Beilang Daily is also your property, Captain Lin, right? You have recently reported on the bad habit of abandoning babies in Kyoto, which has made people panic." "Then I have to ask. It's reasonable to post this kind of news in one day, and it's reasonable to post it in two days, but why do you post it in three days and four days? What? Who are you mocking? What are you trying to imply?" Facing Cai Yingyang's barrage of questions, Lin Xiaofeng was silent for a moment.

Good guy, this old thief Cai Yingyang is really insidious and cunning. He is hinting at my evil intentions inside and outside his words. I, Lin Xiaofeng, am a patriotic and passionate young man. Besides, my news has been strictly censored by the palace. How can I be afraid of you? ! Emperor Jingjiang also had a strange expression on his face, and he looked at Lin Xiaofeng curiously. Although he didn't take Cai Yingyang's words too seriously, he did want to know why Beilang Newspaper reported the news of abandoned babies for many days in a row.

Lin Xiaofeng collected her thoughts and then said: "Your Majesty, actually the report of abandoned babies is closely related to my opening of a girls' school."

Everyone was shocked by Lin Xiaofeng's words. Even Emperor Jingjiang perked up and asked curiously: "Oh? Is there any involvement in this? Please tell me in detail."

Lin Xiaofeng responded: "Those abandoned babies have attracted widespread attention among the people, and there should have been discussions in the court. I wonder if any solutions have been discussed?"

When he asked, everyone fell silent. This problem seems difficult to solve. Only when people become rich can the phenomenon of abandoned babies be fundamentally reduced. This is not a simple question.

Seeing everyone's silence, Lin Xiaofeng continued: "It seems that there is no solution to this problem. But we all know that girls account for the majority of abandoned babies. Why is this? To put it simply, raising a girl and raising a girl The cost of a boy is similar, but a girl cannot create as much value to the family as a boy when she grows up, and may even bring financial burden. "

"If we want to fundamentally solve this problem, we must let the people of Jingjiang live a good life, have enough food, clothing, and money. I believe that in this way, everyone will not abandon their children easily. People’s hearts are made of flesh, and no one is willing to kill their own children with their own hands.”

At this point, Lin Xiaofeng paused, "But! This process may be very long, and may require the efforts of one, two or even more than a dozen generations to achieve."

Cai Yingyang sneered: "You know that more than ten generations may not be able to complete this project, but you still dare to brazenly say that opening a girls' school will solve the problem?"

"That's true," Lin Xiaofeng said loudly, "Although it is difficult to increase material wealth, we can change people's minds first!"

"If I run a girls' school, I am confident that I will be able to cultivate a group of outstanding women in the shortest possible time. They can create value for Jingjiang in all walks of life. As long as we vigorously promote it and let people see the value of women, I believe there is no need Over the years, people’s views on women will change.”

"Coupled with His Majesty's wise leadership, our Jingjiang has taken on a new look and is becoming more and more prosperous."

"If we can make people aware of the benefits of having a daughter, then a life can be saved in an instant. If a trend develops, the problem of abandoned babies in Jingjiang will definitely be greatly alleviated!"

Lin Xiaofeng's words were full of power.

As soon as he finished speaking, there were whispers below. Some people nodded in agreement, while others shook their heads in denial. But more people chose to remain silent and dismissive.

Cai Yingyang rebuked loudly: "Absurd! How can women engage in various industries? What a public appearance! You dare to say that they can create value. If this is really feasible, someone has already done it, so why is it our turn?" Are you, Lieutenant Lin, here to pick it up?"

"It is virtue for a woman to have no talent! Most of those who lose their chastity are smart women. Women have their own way of living. If you do this, you will push them into a place of injustice and destroy people's families!"

Lin Xiaofeng snorted coldly: "Fart! The saint said that there is no distinction between education and distinction! Don't women have the qualification to receive education?"

"Or does Mr. Cai think he is a man and born strong, so he looks down on women and thinks they are weak? Should the weak be trampled on by the strong?"

"Lieutenant Lin, please be careful what you say! That's not what I meant!" Cai Yingyang's expression changed. As an official of the imperial court, he has always been responsible for supporting the weak and benefiting the people. This does not distinguish between men and women. Even corrupt officials in ancient times did not dare to declare in public that the weak should be trampled on. This kind of thought can only be hidden in the heart and cannot be publicized publicly.

"What I want to say is that women have their own way of life: giving birth to children, assisting their husbands, and educating children are their bounden duty. If you set up a women's college and change the folk customs so that women no longer want to fulfill their bounden duty, you Can you take on this responsibility?”

Lin Xiaofeng laughed loudly: "Building duty? How ridiculous! Why does Mr. Cai think that women's duty is to care for their husbands, raise children, and bear children? If women are born with diseases and cannot have children, according to you, do they deserve to die?"

"That's not what I meant!" Cai Yingyang's expression changed again, feeling that Lin Xiaofeng was really a difficult character.

"That's not what you mean? I think that's what you mean!" Lin Xiaofeng said sarcastically, "If Mr. Cai thinks that it is wrong for women not to have children, then you should take on the important task of reproducing future generations! Pass on the bloodline. If you think If women are not virtuous enough and keep their own rules, then you should lead by example instead of just telling others how to live. "

At this time, the expressions of Emperor Jingjiang and the officials also became colorful. They looked at Cai Yingyang in confusion, as if thinking: "Old Lin, your words are too sharp."

Li Dexian wanted to laugh but held it back. He glanced at Emperor Jingjiang secretly, as if thinking: "Old Lin, you are so brave. I don't even dare to say such things."

Emperor Jingjiang said seriously: "Lin Xiaofeng, in the court, please don't talk nonsense."

Lin Xiaofeng looked around and saw that everyone was stunned, and sighed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was just in a hurry." (End of Chapter)
