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

In addition, the school is also equipped with specialized kindergarten teachers responsible for the life and learning of multiple children. These kindergarten teachers have been strictly selected and trained. They care about every child and take good care of their growth.

Even more gratifying is that the school also provides the facility of regular home visits. In this way, the connection between the school and the family will be closer, and they will jointly protect the growth of the children. When Lin Xiaofeng mentioned the home visit, he specifically emphasized the detail of the kindergarten teacher wearing a cheongsam. Although these old men have seen a lot, they are also attracted by such forms and clothes. They seemed to have seen the unique warmth and joy that the kindergarten teachers wearing cheongsam brought to their families during home visits.

These four major advantages, like four solid pillars, jointly support the excellence and extraordinaryness of Aijing Primary School. The officials present were all impressed by such an educational environment, and they were each thinking in their minds about how their children could become a member of this school. After all, such an educational environment is simply priceless for children. Lin Xiaofeng was also secretly proud, knowing that he had successfully touched the hearts of these official veterans.

Lin Xiaofeng stood in front of the stage, the breeze gently blowing through his hair, and his deep eyes shone with confidence and expectation. He cleared his throat, ready to drop his verbal bombshell. Just when everyone was waiting with bated breath, he announced with a loud voice: "I will personally guide poetry appreciation and writing courses."

This news was like a depth charge, instantly causing an uproar in the quiet venue. Lin Xiaofeng, this name is well-known in the literary world. His poetic talent is recognized by everyone. Every poem and every word can be called a classic. Now, he is willing to share his talents and experience with others. This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The people present looked at each other with excitement in their eyes. They knew that if their children could learn poetry under Lin Xiaofeng's guidance, it would be an immeasurable treasure. This is not only an investment in children’s future, but also a strong guarantee for their all-round development.

Lin Xiaofeng's words seemed to have a kind of magic. He described the beautiful vision of Aijing Primary School affectionately: "This is not only a palace of learning, but also a dreamlike paradise. Children will grow up happily and develop in an all-round way here. We We promise that every child will receive our careful care and comprehensive training.”

His words were like a warm current, slowly flowing into everyone's heart. The audience in the audience seemed to have seen their children playing happily and studying seriously in this paradise full of love and care. Their faces were filled with anticipation and longing, as if they couldn't wait to send their children to this wonderful place.

Lin Xiaofeng's voice gradually became louder: "Joining Aijing Primary School means booking a passport to a happy life. We promise that your children will receive comprehensive improvement in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor here!" His words were like the same. Seeds were sown deeply in the hearts of everyone present.

However, just as everyone was immersed in this beautiful vision, Lin Xiaofeng's next words made them fall into deep thought. "It's okay if you don't want to join, but please don't let your children play with the children from Aijing Primary School." He paused and continued, "Because it will make them discover the differences in life prematurely and feel sad. Even resent the parents.”

This sentence was like a sharp thorn, piercing deeply into the hearts of everyone present. They began to reflect, are they really willing to let their children fall behind because they cannot receive a good education? This thought makes them feel uneasy and anxious, and at the same time makes them appreciate this rare opportunity even more.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Xiaofeng patted the lesson plan and said: "Happy people spend their whole lives being cured by their childhood, while unfortunate people spend their whole lives curing their childhood. Everyone, the admissions meeting ends here. Welcome to Aijing to sign up tomorrow! "

These words were like a bombshell, instantly causing huge waves in everyone's hearts. They were discussing how to seize this rare opportunity and seek a better future for their children.

Among the crowd, Cai Yingyang was also completely tempted. He was still hesitating whether to let his children attend this elementary school, but now he understands that this is not only an educational opportunity, but also an opportunity to change his children's destiny. He couldn't help but marvel at the power of Lin Xiaofeng's words, which could actually move people like him.

At this time, the audience in the audience also began to discuss crazily, as if everyone wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They all asked the staff for admission brochures, because this could save them two hundred taels of silver. For them, this is not only an investment in education, but also a beautiful vision and expectation for the future.

The entire venue fell into a frantic rush to grab brochures, as lively and orderly as a melon-eating crowd collecting five blessings during the New Year. Everyone has expectations and visions for a better future, hoping that their children can thrive in this paradise full of love and care.

Bai Yongyuan sat in the noisy crowd, wearing a dark robe, his brows furrowed, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. There was a buzz of people all around, but Bai Yongyuan felt like he was on an isolated island, out of tune with the excitement around him. He felt uncomfortable all over and complained in his heart, as if he was being bitten by countless ants. He glanced at Lin Xiaofeng beside him, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. Lin Xiaofeng was introducing the various advantages of Aijing Elementary School to everyone, and his confident demeanor made Bai Yongyuan feel panic and helpless.

He recalled the strategy he had used, which was a clever inducement and hint that made parents rush to sign up for their children's future. However, now Lin Xiaofeng was using his tactics to squeeze him out, making him feel an inexplicable sense of frustration. He felt like he was completely out of control, like he was stuck in a dark quagmire, unable to struggle.

At this time, Chen Shuguang turned to look at him, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Mr. Bai Ge, do you still have your enrollment brochure?" Bai Yongyuan smiled awkwardly and did not answer. He knew full well that his admissions brochure seemed so pale in front of Lin Xiaofeng's words. He felt like he was being led by Lin Xiaofeng. This feeling made him feel extremely humiliated and frustrated.

At the same time, Li Qiuyan held his sleeves in his hands, looking as steady as Mount Tai. He looked around and tried to calm everyone's excitement with a calm tone: "Why are you so anxious? Are you impressed by Lin Xiaofeng's few words? Think about it carefully when you go home." However, his words did not have much effect. Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Xiaofeng, as if they had been deeply attracted by the beautiful blueprint he had drawn.

Lin Xiaofeng stood in front of everyone, like an unattainable mountain. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning everyone present. He saw their desires, anxieties, and expectations, as well as their hesitations, doubts, and uneasiness. He knew that he already had a winning chance, and he only needed one more push to completely conquer these parents.

He glanced around twice, saw no one was moving, and knew it was time to deliver the final blow. So he said loudly: "Everyone can go home! get out of class is over!" Some parents who were still hesitant stood up after hearing this. They knew that if they didn't make a decision soon, they might miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, just as they were about to leave, a melodious flute sound suddenly sounded outside the door. This sudden music is like a clear spring flowing in everyone's heart. An imperceptible smile appeared on Lin Xiaofeng's lips. He knew that this was the last part of his careful planning.

"~~~~" The sound of the flute was so melodious that it attracted everyone's attention. Some people couldn't help but exclaimed: "The style of this piece is so elegant! Why have I never heard it before?" There was a brief silence in the classroom, with only the sound of the flute echoing. Everyone was immersed in this beautiful melody, as if they had forgotten the passage of time.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng quietly walked to the classroom door and gently opened the door. I saw a musician in plain robes standing outside the door, and the sound of the flute came from his mouth. He was like a worldly master, independent from the world, exuding an otherworldly temperament. , people are in awe unconsciously. The sound of the flute seems to have infinite magic power. It penetrates into the depths of everyone's soul and evokes their yearning and pursuit of a better life. Everyone looks sideways with twinkling eyes. Surprise and curiosity.

Lin Xiaofeng took the opportunity to explain shamelessly: "Everyone, this piece is called 'Going Home', and it is a humble composition of mine when I was young. I think when I was young, I also liked music, but now my skills have completely degraded. Haha, I only remember the tune." There was a hint of self-deprecation and helplessness in his words, but it also made people admire his talent and heritage even more, and at the same time, they were full of expectations and yearning for Aijing Primary School.

He paused and continued: "This piece of music is one of our school's end-of-get out of class reminder musics! We want the children to improve their music appreciation and aristocratic taste during their leisure time." He His words were full of confidence and pride, as if he had seen the bright future of Aijing Primary School cultivating batches of outstanding students. “In the future, the corridors of our school will have paintings by famous artists replaced from time to time! These are all for It’s just a small and insignificant way to educate children.”

After hearing Lin Xiaofeng's introduction about the school's cultivation of children's taste and this novel and beautiful ditty, the officials went completely crazy! They all said that this school is so thoughtful and their children must go to Aijing Primary School!

In such an atmosphere, a long queue quickly formed at the registration office. Everyone is eager to get a precious spot for their children. Bai Yongyuan looked at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that he had completely lost, completely defeated. Li Qiuyan still maintained a calm demeanor, but the light in his eyes was much dimmed. He knew that this fight was destined to end from the beginning.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng was standing at the door of the classroom, quietly waiting for the next challenger to arrive. He knows that he still has a long way to go, but he has the confidence and determination to build Aijing Primary School into a truly famous school! At this moment, that unheard-of melody came up again. Its style was novel and particularly fascinating. This melody seems to have some kind of magic power. It penetrates into the depths of everyone's soul, making people unconsciously immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Lin Xiaofeng, a master of poetry, not only has great literary talent, but is also an expert in music and can be called an all-rounder. His smile always revealed an unfathomable wisdom, as if he could see through people's hearts. At this moment, he stood on the podium and expressed with a smile that he planned to teach in Aijing Primary School for a long time and teach knowledge and art to the children. His voice is gentle but firm, which makes people feel his love and dedication to education.

As the charming ditty reverberated in the air, people were deeply attracted by the music, as if they were immersed in a dream world. They lined up to leave the classroom, wanting to go home early and take advantage of the opportunity to register their children when there were fewer people. Everyone's face is full of expectation and determination, as if they have seen their children becoming pillars of talent in the future.

After the crowd dispersed, only Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian were left in the classroom. Li Dexian jumped up to the podium, his face full of curiosity and confusion: "Old Lin, what is your purpose of setting the tuition fee so low?" There was a kind of eagerness and confusion in his voice.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, with a deep light shining in his eyes: "Is it low? This is just the entry fee for the first semester." His voice was calm and confident, as if everything was under his control.

"Entry fee?" Li Dexian suddenly realized that what Lin Xiaofeng was talking about was not just tuition fees, but the threshold for entering this school. An inexplicable respect surged in his heart, and he admired Lin Xiaofeng's business acumen.

"The so-called entry fee is the qualification to enter this school." Lin Xiaofeng enumerated, "The subsequent tuition fees, tuition and miscellaneous fees, teaching material fees, tutoring fees, medical fees, as well as spring, summer, autumn and winter study tour fees, etc., These are all essential." There was an unquestionable authority and professionalism in his voice.

Li Dexian's face gradually changed as Lin Xiaofeng enumerated, and his eyes flashed with complicated emotions. Only then did he realize how young and naive he was. He didn't expect that there were so many charges behind it. However, he was also attracted by Lin Xiaofeng's shrewdness and decisiveness, and was full of expectations and curiosity about the future of Aijing Primary School.

"What is a canteen?" Li Dexian asked puzzledly, his brows furrowed, obviously confused by this new concept.

"You can think of it as a small stall." Lin Xiaofeng grinned, with a sly light flashing in his eyes, "Our boutique canteen in Yangqu County will definitely provide students with a dazzling array of choices!" His voice was full of passion and enthusiasm. Looking forward to it, it seems that I have already seen the bustling scene of the canteen. He fantasizes about attracting students with small burgers, small fries, children's meals and toys, so that they can enjoy the happiness brought by food and toys while studying. He even wanted to make spicy strips to entertain them, so that the children can feel the taste of childhood on their tongues.

Li Dexian was silent for a moment, and the perfect impression of Aijing Elementary School began to crack in his heart. Is this a holy place for teaching and educating people, or an institution that makes money in the name of education? His heart was filled with doubts and confusion.

"So, how much does a student need to pay per year?" Li Dexian asked tentatively, his voice revealing an emotion of caution and expectation.

"I think...at least five thousand taels? The schooling period is six years." Lin Xiaofeng guessed and gave a number, his eyes flashing with the cunning and shrewdness of a businessman.

"Thirty...thirty thousand taels?!" Li Dexian asked nervously, his voice full of shock and disbelief, "You wouldn't do this to my son, would you?" He obviously couldn't accept this number, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Fear and worry.

"We have such a good relationship, how could I not devote all my attention to cultivating your son when he comes to my place?" Lin Xiaofeng explained, his voice full of sincerity and enthusiasm, "Besides, you are worrying too much. Our school is aristocratic. Is it five thousand taels a year for a school that teaches bilingual classes?" His eyes shone with confidence and determination, as if he had seen the day when Aijing Primary School would become an aristocratic school.

"What's going on with bilingualism?" Li Dexian asked, his curiosity being ignited again.

"Vernacular plus classical Chinese, isn't this bilingualism?" Lin Xiaofeng replied with a smile, his voice full of humor and wit. This explanation made Li Dexian dumbfounded, but at the same time he also felt Lin Xiaofeng's unique charm and wisdom.

Li Dexian twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a wry smile. He continued to ask: "You just listed so many charging items, why didn't you make it clear at the beginning? Wouldn't it be more troublesome to charge later?" There was a kind of puzzlement and confusion in his voice.

"If I tell everything from the beginning and list all the expenses, I'm afraid it will scare people away. How can the school continue to open?" Lin Xiaofeng explained patiently, "Have you ever heard of the story of boiling a frog in warm water? "This story tells us that gradual adaptation often makes people accept changes unknowingly. The same is true for admissions. We first attract them with a low threshold, and then slowly increase the price to screen students." His voice was full of strategy. Wisdom seems to have drawn a grand blueprint for the future development of the school.

Lin Xiaofeng stood with his hands behind his back, feeling secretly proud in his heart. He was wearing a green shirt, and his eyes were filled with longing and expectation for the future. Although this recruitment method may be a bit despicable in the eyes of the world, tying high tuition fees to the central officials of the imperial court, in his view, all this is for a more noble goal, which is to cultivate leaders of the new era.

He looked into the distance. The outline of the school looked particularly solemn and sacred in the morning sun. The school's buildings are mainly red walls and gold tiles, showing the royal style without losing the bookish style. The amusement facilities are colorful, novel and interesting, enough to attract the attention of any child. He believes that such a school will lead a new trend in education.

Students at Aijing Primary School will receive a brand-new education here. Not only will they learn traditional culture, they will also be taught by teachers from Beilang University to comprehensively cultivate scientific thinking. Such an education model is unprecedented even in the 21st century. Lin Xiaofeng firmly believes that these future court stars will lead a new era and realize his so-called grand blueprint of "starting from babies."

He made a calculation and found that five thousand taels of silver might be able to train a future leader. This was a great deal. Moreover, he did not intend to put all the tuition fees into his own pocket. He has a bigger dream, which is to use the money to promote low-cost education among the private sector, so that more children have the opportunity to receive education and realize their dreams.

Li Dexian licked his lips and asked curiously: "What you said makes sense. But the experiment of boiling a frog in warm water you mentioned just now actually has the opposite result. If a frog falls into boiling water, it will jump out immediately due to the high temperature. "On the contrary, those frogs placed in slowly heated water will die unconsciously."

"Nonsense!" Lin Xiaofeng was shocked and frowned. How could this experiment of boiling a frog in warm water, which has been repeatedly verified by later generations, be reversed? This simply makes no sense. He couldn't accept this result, as if his world view had been subverted.

"I have really done this experiment." Li Dexian smiled proudly, with a cunning light in his eyes, "I played with many things in the palace when I was a child, which you can't even imagine!"

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions. Looking at Li Dexian's proud face, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. But he still asked patiently: "But you charge such high tuition fees, have you ever thought that some honest officials may not be able to pay the tuition fees?"

"First of all, we assume that there are no officials in the imperial court who cannot afford to pay their tuition fees." Lin Xiaofeng replied with a firm and confident tone. He looked at Li Dexian with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart, "Secondly, if such an honest official does appear, I have a second strategy."

He paused and continued: "That is, you can enjoy a discount on tuition when you buy a house in the school district. If someone really needs this discount, I can let them buy a house in the school district in the area I have designated in Yangqu County, so that You can enjoy the discount on tuition. If you don’t have the money,” he smiled, “you can give me an IOU first. This way, for the officials, it’s like killing two birds with one stone.”

Li Dexian frowned and asked doubtfully: "Is it reasonable for the house in Yangqu County...the school district to be in Kyoto?" He thought this idea was a bit ridiculous, after all, Yangqu County was some distance from Kyoto.

"It's very reasonable!" Lin Xiaofeng smiled proudly, "Because those houses in Yangqu County are all my property! Moreover, I can also buy some more properties in Kyoto to use as school district housing in Kyoto. This is The so-called family bucket strategy is something you can’t refuse.”

hiss! Li Dexian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng again and sighed in his heart. It is so easy for this young man to make money, it is enviable! He fell into silence, not knowing what to say.

"If I send my son to your school, am I not advertising for you? You have to give me some benefits." Li Dexian suddenly said, breaking the silence.

"No problem!" Lin Xiaofeng readily agreed, "I can provide your son with some extra care, such as better educational resources, more practical opportunities, etc. This way your son can stand out in school. , to become future leaders.”

Li Dexian nodded with satisfaction. He felt more mentally balanced. Although he knew that he was advertising Lin Xiaofeng, it was worth it if he could get some tangible benefits.

"Then what should we do next? There seems to be nothing to do here." Li Dexian asked.

"There will definitely be many officials taking the initiative to sign up this afternoon. If you are willing, you can accompany me to greet them." Lin Xiaofeng suggested, "After the registration ends tomorrow, I plan to start school at the beginning of next month. In addition," he paused After a pause, "I plan to go to Beilang University the day after tomorrow. Will you go with me? I promise you won't be disappointed!"

"Okay, then I'll wait and see!" Li Dexian said with a smile. He was full of expectations and curiosity about Lin Xiaofeng's plan, and at the same time he was excited to participate in it.

That afternoon, the sun shone through the clouds and fell on the ground, and the golden light illuminated the entire enrollment scene with excitement. The situation was exactly as Lin Xiaofeng expected. Almost all the officials who attended the meeting in the morning sent their servants to register their children and grandchildren. They looked eager and expectant, for fear of falling behind. The place was crowded, and servants were rushing to the registration office holding name cards or portraits of their sons.

After all, those who could attend the meeting were all prominent figures in the court. They naturally hoped that their descendants could receive education in this prestigious school in order to succeed in the future. Due to the limited number of places, some people even wanted to sign up three or five children at home. This eagerness also caused some minor disputes.

Lin Xiaofeng stood on a high place, overlooking the entire scene. Wearing a rich brocade suit, he looked majestic and majestic, with an unquestionable majesty between his brows. He announced on the spot that each family could only choose one child to register. If you wanted to apply for more, you would need to pay an entrance fee first and go through a strict entrance exam, and then be screened by the school. Although this regulation made some people dissatisfied, with Lin Xiaofeng's firm attitude, everyone had no choice but to accept it.

After half a day, the first batch of students has been filled up. Looking at the list in his hand, Lin Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction. This admissions fair has been successfully concluded, and the rest of the time is just waiting for the students to start school. And he was secretly planning the next expansion plan in his heart, his eyes shining with ambition.

The next morning, it was just getting dark, and the entire Kyoto was still immersed in tranquility. However, Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian had already gotten up and set foot on the road to Beiling Taixue. In the early morning, the campus was shrouded in a layer of mist, as if covered with a mysterious veil. The weak morning breeze is gently swaying the leaves, bringing bursts of fresh vegetation aroma, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The two of them didn't waste any time. Lin Xiaofeng led Li Dexian directly to the Thermal Weapons Research Institute. The scenery along the way passed by them quickly, as if they were making way for them. The entire campus seemed empty and silent, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing.

The door of the Thermal Weapons Research Institute was closed tightly, giving off a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. Lin Xiaofeng gently opened the door, and a "squeak" broke the tranquility of the morning. They walked in and saw Hu Yimo lying on the table, concentrating on studying the drawings in his hands. His eyes were focused and firm, as if only he and his drawings were left in the whole world.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Hu Yimo frowned slightly and raised his head. After seeing that the people coming were Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian, he immediately stood up with a look of fear on his face, "Hello, His Royal Highness! Hello, Mr. Lin!" There was a hint of trembling and awe in his voice.

Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand to indicate that he should not panic, "How is the development of the new artillery going?" His voice was calm and powerful, as if it had a convincing magic power. Hu Yimo was visibly relieved after hearing this question, "To tell you my Lord, the research and development of the new artillery is nearing completion. We are in the final debugging and testing work, and it is expected to be completed soon."

After hearing the news about the new artillery, Li Dexian's face suddenly lit up with joy. "Has the new artillery been ready? The Thermal Weapons Institute is moving so fast. It is an important pillar of the country!" His tone was full of admiration and respect. I sincerely admire the achievements of the Thermal Weapons Institute.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded slightly. He must grasp any important results in Taixue immediately. "Take us to see the new cannon." He said with an undoubted majesty in his voice. Hu Yimo nodded quickly and agreed to lead them to the backyard.

There is a brand-new artillery in the backyard. It stands there quietly like a sleeping beast. Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian stepped forward and carefully observed every detail of the new cannon. Its black muzzle exudes a cold light that is intimidating.

"This is our new artillery." Hu Yimo introduced. "Its range and power have been significantly improved compared to the previous artillery. It can be said to be a major killer weapon for our country." Hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian both revealed their faces. Satisfied smile. They know that the successful development of this new artillery will bring more powerful combat effectiveness to the country.

Not long after, Hu Yimo, who had a strong body and dark skin from working beside the stove for many years, called two craftsmen. The two craftsmen pushed the cannon covered by a tarpaulin and slowly came to the wide open space. The sunlight filtered through the gaps and dappled the wheels of their carts and the metal surfaces of the artillery, creating a heavy and mysterious atmosphere.

The craftsmen are all experienced old blacksmiths, and the wrinkles on their faces and calluses on their hands show their hard work. Without saying a word, they lifted up the tarpaulin in tacit agreement, revealing the dense gun barrel. The cold barrel shone coldly in the sun, as if telling its powerful power, making everyone present feel its potential power.

Li Dexian is wearing a brocade robe, a jade belt and a golden crown, looking like a returning king. However, at this moment, his face was full of surprise, "This cannon is smaller than the previous one, and its shape is quite different. Can it have the same power?" His tone was full of doubts and curiosity, and his eyes were fixed on the cannon. A new type of artillery, as if assessing its true strength.

Hu Yimo said proudly, with pride on his face: "Your Highness is right. Although this cannon is small, it is far more powerful than the old cannon!" He was like a father showing off his children, full of enthusiasm for this new cannon. confidence and expectations.

"Really? Could such a thing happen?" Li Dexian was extremely curious. He couldn't help but get closer and take a closer look at the new artillery. The sun shines on the cannon, reflecting a dazzling light that makes people afraid to look directly.

Hu Yimo began to explain the principles and advantages of the new artillery eloquently, "Of course, as long as the materials and structure are properly designed, small cannons can also exert the power of large cannons! Your Highness may have seen old cannons. The wall of the barrel is very thick, but the muzzle It is very small, weighing eight thousand kilograms, but can only fire eleven kilograms of shells. That is because the previous casting technology was not sophisticated enough, and the cannons cast in iron molds were cooled from the outside to the inside, resulting in a large amount of white cast iron. Although cast iron is very hard, it is also very brittle and easy to burst, so it is necessary to continuously add materials to thicken the barrel to ensure normal firing. Now we use new processes and materials, through precise temperature control and alloy ratio, to make the gun barrel more durable. The new artillery is both lightweight and powerful."

After hearing this explanation, Li Dexian was very surprised and couldn't help but applaud, "The people in the Ministry of Industry are far inferior to you!" He sighed sincerely, his eyes full of admiration and appreciation for Hu Yimo's team.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng, who was wearing a green gown and holding a feather fan, smiled slightly. His eyes revealed a kind of wisdom and depth, "If your highness wants to conduct in-depth research, you should pay attention to the cross-integration of disciplines, so that it is easier to produce results." Although his voice is not loud, it is full of confidence and power.

After saying this, he turned to Hu Yimo and asked, "The problem that was reported before but has not been solved has now been solved. Who is the first contributor to this breakthrough? I want to reward him with a thousand taels of silver!" His voice said Although calm, his determination and generosity were felt by everyone present.

Hu Yimo was happy at first, but then became hesitant, "Mr. Lin, this question is a coincidence. Originally our team expected to take three months to solve this technical problem, but then someone thought of two foreigners in the capital. They I once studied abroad and had unique insights into artillery manufacturing technology. So we asked them about craftsmanship." He paused and continued, "I didn't expect this question to inspire me! Can the foreigner be blamed?" There was a hint of expectation and anxiety in his eyes, as if he was waiting for Lin Xiaofeng's answer.

"Foreigner?" Lin Xiaofeng was slightly startled, and then thought of the two foreigners, Eric and Kalami. Although they were not tolerated by the court for various reasons, their knowledge and technology brought breakthroughs in the manufacture of artillery. Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh: People really can't be judged by their appearance! Even the foreign trash who are looked down upon by others have their unique values ​​and abilities.

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a while and said slowly: "Where are these two people now? I want to meet them." There was a hint of curiosity and expectation in his voice, as if he wanted to know personally the stories and abilities of these two foreigners. After all, the person who can solve the problem that Hu Yimo and the others failed to solve in three months is definitely not an ordinary person. Even though they are foreign waste, at this moment they also showed their value and talent.

Hu Yimo replied: "They are working in the Metallurgical Institute now. After being kicked out by Jin Yiwei, they worked there as assistants. It's quite pitiful to say that these two are strong and have some strength, but they are just because of their looks. He was discriminated against because of his identity." There was a hint of regret and sympathy in his tone, as if he was fighting for the injustice of the two foreigners who were driven away by Jin Yiwei. At the same time, it also hinted at Lin Xiaofeng: Although these two foreigners were looked down upon by Jin Yiwei, they played their own value in the Metallurgical Institute and contributed to the country's artillery manufacturing industry. Although their identities and status are humble, their talents and abilities cannot be ignored.

"Oh? Why were they kicked out by Jin Yiwei?" Lin Xiaofeng asked curiously. He wanted to know more about the situation. After all, these two foreigners were able to solve Hu Yimo's problems, showing that they still had certain abilities and talents. There must be some special reason for being driven away by Jin Yiwei!
Hu Yimo said angrily: "I heard that after the new official took office, he felt that the two foreigners, Tom and Jack, were too ugly and affected Jin Yiwei's image, so he found an excuse to drive them away." He frowned, his face full. of injustice. Under the spring sunshine, his face was dyed with a golden glow, but the angry look was like a haze that lingered for a long time.

Lin Xiaofeng stood aside, with the spring breeze blowing through his hair. He waved gently and said with a smile, "Go and call these two people. I want to see what these two foreigners who are said to be so amazing are really capable of." His eyes sparkled with curiosity and expectation, as if he was looking forward to a wonderful performance.

At this time, Li Dexian said eagerly: "Old Lin, how about we try cannon?" His eyes were shining, as if he had seen the shocking scene. However, Lin Xiaofeng poured it down like a basin of cold water, "Don't be ridiculous, this is in Taixue. If anything happens, neither you nor I can bear it." His words were serious and powerful, making people have to obey. .

Although Li Dexian was a little disappointed, he also understood Lin Xiaofeng's worries. He nodded, "Yes, but this cannon should have a name, right?" He tried to change the topic to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously, "I have already given it a good name, you will know it later." His words were full of confidence and expectation, as if this name would set off a revolution.

Not long after, Hu Yimo came over with the two foreigners. Their faces were full of resentment, as if they wanted to pour out all their dissatisfaction. Karami said with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Lin, the new commander is so unreasonable. He wants to drive us away because we are foreigners. We have already been naturalized, how can we treat them differently?" His voice was trembling and weak. , as if he has endured too many grievances. Lin Xiaofeng patted his shoulder gently, pointed at the cannon and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, I am here to make up for you today." His words were warm and powerful, as if a ray of sunshine shone into their hearts. Both Karami and Eric showed expressions of surprise and anticipation, as if they saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.

"You are indispensable for the creation of this cannon, and I will reward you heavily." Lin Xiaofeng's voice was firm and powerful, as if a warm current surged through their hearts. Kalami and Eric looked at each other and smiled, and the resentment in their hearts disappeared instantly.

However, Karami still asked with some confusion: "What is this? Master Lin." He looked at this new artillery, his eyes full of doubts and curiosity. Hu Yimo explained in a low voice: "This is a new cannon, and it is confidential. You have only participated in the metallurgical link before, and you have not seen the full picture of the new cannon." His words were like a key, opening the door to doubts in their hearts. .

After hearing this, Karami nodded in realization, "Oh, so that's it!" An excited and satisfied smile appeared on his face, as if he couldn't wait to see the power of this new artillery.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said: "In view of your contribution, I decided to give it a foreign name, so that the world will know that foreigners participated in making it, and they will not treat you differently in the future." His words seemed like a burst of laughter. The spring breeze blew away the gloom in their hearts. Both Eric and Karami showed expressions of surprise and gratitude, as if they had seen the hope and dawn of the future.

"I decided to call it the Italian gun." Lin Xiaofeng's voice echoed in the air, as if giving life and soul to this new artillery. Eric and Kalami looked at each other and smiled, their emotions indescribable. Not only did they participate in the creation of this cannon, but they also named it, which made them extremely honored and proud.

"In addition, I will reward each of you with one hundred taels of silver." As soon as Lin Xiaofeng finished speaking, Eric and Kalami cheered. Not only did they receive due respect and recognition, but they also received substantial rewards, which made them feel extremely satisfied and happy. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten their previous grievances and injustices, leaving only full of gratitude and joy.

Eric and Karami looked at each other with confusion and embarrassment on their faces. They stared at each other with wide eyes, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in their hearts. Eric scratched his head, and Karami shrugged helplessly. It was obvious that neither of them understood the situation in front of them.

"What do you mean?" Eric frowned and whispered, "Why do these words sound like another language?"

Karami also shook his head, expressing his incomprehension. Although their expressions looked a little dazed, there was a trace of indescribable joy deep in their hearts. After all, they had just been informed that they had received a reward of one hundred taels of silver, which was undoubtedly a considerable fortune for them in a foreign land.

Li Dexian stood aside and quietly observed the reactions of the two foreigners. Seeing their confusion and embarrassment, he couldn't help but smile, turned to Lin Xiaofeng and said: "Old Lin, look at their reactions, does it mean that they can't understand your foreign language? Don't pretend to be so, I I’m embarrassed for you.”

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he just smiled softly, his eyes showing a kind of calmness and confidence. "It's so funny!" He said with a smile, "Your Highness, I have studied foreign language for more than ten years, and you are the first person to say that I am pretending. This is really ridiculous!"

As he spoke, he suddenly turned to Eric and Kalami and said in fluent English: "How delicious!" His pronunciation was clear and standard, leaving Eric and Kalami stunned for a moment. They stared at Lin Xiaofeng in disbelief, as if they had seen something magical.

Li Dexian was also stunned. He obviously didn't expect Lin Xiaofeng to be so fluent in English. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng, a hint of approval and surprise flashed in his eyes. This young man always brings surprises to him.

Lin Xiaofeng watched Eric and Kalami's reactions and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. He had long expected that the two foreigners would be confused because of the language barrier, so he deliberately communicated with them in English to break the deadlock. At this moment, he saw the surprise and joy on the faces of Eric and Karami, and knew that his plan was half successful.

"Can you understand me?" Lin Xiaofeng asked in English.

Eric and Kalami nodded repeatedly, their faces filled with excited smiles. "Yes! We can understand!" Eric replied loudly, "It's amazing! You can actually speak our language!"

Karami also added excitedly: "We really appreciate you! It's great to meet people here who speak our language!"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Now that you can understand me, we can communicate better. Now, I want to know what you think of this new artillery."

Eric and Karami looked at each other, and then Eric said: "This new artillery is really amazing! Its power is definitely far more powerful than the old cannon. Moreover, its design is also very exquisite, which is really admirable!"

Karami also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the design of this new artillery is indeed excellent. We believe it will play a huge role on the battlefield!"

Hearing their praise, Hu Yimo showed a proud smile on his face. Li Dexian also cast an approving look at Lin Xiaofeng. He knew that this young man was not only proficient in foreign languages, but also had excellent vision and judgment.

At this time, the sun was shining on the open space, and the new artillery flashed with a cold light in the sun. The people in the open space were also in a happy mood because of this successful exchange, as if everything was full of hope and beauty.

However, Lin Xiaofeng's expression suddenly became serious. He looked at Eric and Karami and said, "Although you are staying here for some reasons, I hope you can cherish this opportunity and use your knowledge and skills to contribute to this country." make a contribution."

Eric and Kalami were in awe when they heard this. They fully understood the meaning of Lin Xiaofeng's words and understood the responsibilities and missions they shouldered. They nodded solemnly and said they would do their best to contribute to this country.

Lin Xiaofeng then asked them some specific questions about the new artillery and their work at the Metallurgical Institute. Both Eric and Kalami gave detailed answers one by one, which gave Lin Xiaofeng a deeper understanding of the new artillery and their work at the Metallurgical Institute.

After the exchange, Lin Xiaofeng expressed his gratitude to Eric and Karami and encouraged them to continue working hard. Eric and Kalami also expressed their sincere gratitude to Lin Xiaofeng for his care and encouragement. They bowed deeply and turned away to return to their work.

Looking at their backs, Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly. He knew that although these two foreigners had been discriminated against and excluded for various reasons, they had unknown talents and abilities. As long as we give them enough trust and support, they will definitely bring unexpected surprises and contributions to this country. And this is also the employment philosophy he has always pursued - to promote talents in an eclectic way.

At the same time, Li Dexian also walked to Lin Xiaofeng's side. He patted Lin Xiaofeng's shoulder and said, "Old Lin, you have made a great contribution this time! The successful development of this new artillery is of great significance to our country!"

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness has given you the award. This is all thanks to everyone. Especially Hu Yimo and his team have put in a lot of effort and effort to develop this new artillery."

Li Dexian nodded and said, "Yes, this success is inseparable from everyone's dedication and hard work. I will report it to my father and take credit for you!"

After hearing Li Dexian's words, Lin Xiaofeng and others expressed their gratitude. They know that this success is just the beginning and there will be more challenges and opportunities waiting for them in the future. And they will continue to work together to contribute to the prosperity and strength of this country.

Under the sunshine, the new artillery flashed dazzlingly, as if cheering for their success. And the people in the open space are more united and forge ahead because of this success, as if everything is full of hope and motivation.

Eric frowned and glanced disdainfully at the new colleague next to him who didn't understand the "rules" yet. There was a trace of contempt in his eyes, and then he said angrily: "Don't you understand yet? This place is different from ours! In this society, if you don't give face, how can there be important projects handed over to you? What's waiting for you is the hard work that others don't want to do." In addition to his helplessness towards this society, his words are more of an acknowledgment of this reality.

After hearing this, Karami's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, and he said angrily: "Since you already knew this, why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you tell me until now, after I made such a 'mistake'? " There was a little reproach in his tone, but more of disappointment. He originally thought that Eric would be his closest partner in this strange country, but he didn't expect it.

Eric replied: "I only gradually realized this later. I didn't think it through completely at first. During lunch break, I overheard people in the institute chatting and talking about how the director was drunk every day. And if you want to get more funds and projects from your superiors, you need to drink with your superiors to the fullest..." In his words, he had a deeper understanding and helpless acceptance of this social reality.

Karami lowered his head, lost in thought. He murmured: "Perhaps this is the secret to the strength of this country - be a good person before doing things." His words were full of emotion about this society, and also revealed his understanding of this culture. .

Hu Yimo, who was on the side, turned pale after hearing this, and there were even beads of sweat on his forehead. His eyes widened, looking ahead in horror, and his eyes slowly tilted to Lin Xiaofeng aside. His heart was full of panic, fearing that he would also be involved in this storm. I kept thinking silently in my heart: "Don't involve me, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me..."

Lin Xiaofeng stood there quietly, listening to their conversation expressionlessly. But in my heart, I was filled with overwhelming anger. He sighed: "The power of traditional culture is so profound! If you don't pay attention, such unhealthy tendencies will arise." He recalled that similar things happened when the research institutes in Yang County were first established. . But at that time, Yang County was a small place after all, and he could always find time to walk around and check, so that bad atmosphere was quickly curbed. However, now that he is in a high position and has countless affairs to deal with every day, he has no time to take care of the management of every corner of the school. It seems that such extensive management can no longer be used in the future.

Although the school is a research institution, the human sophistication involved in management is understandable. However, if technical positions are mixed with too many mundane things, it will obviously seriously affect the overall work efficiency. Lin Xiaofeng's trip this time was originally to inspect the school's work, but he did not expect such an unexpected "gain". Now that the Metallurgical Institute is like this, the situation in other colleges and research institutes may not be much better!
It was getting late, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the playground, adding a bit of softness to this serious place. But Lin Xiaofeng's mood was completely opposite to this peaceful scenery. He stood in the middle of the playground, his eyes burning, and he glanced coldly at everyone present.

"This happened again." Lin Xiaofeng's voice was cold and majestic. He slowly turned his eyes to Hu Yimo, "Why didn't your servant tell me earlier?"

Hu Yimo felt his whole body tremble. He forced out a dry smile and responded: "Master, I really don't know... The Thermal Weapons Institute and the Metallurgical Institute are not in the same place, and our cooperation is limited to raising demands and Deliver results. I have no idea about their internal operations and ethos." His words were full of nervousness and fear, as if he was afraid that Lin Xiaofeng would see any flaws.

Lin Xiaofeng frowned, obviously not satisfied with Hu Yimo's explanation. He raised his voice, pointed at Hu Yimo and said, "This is the best! Don't let me find out that you are being clever. I don't rub sand in my eyes, don't think that I don't know anything."

Lin Xiaofeng paused and continued: "Let's record this incident for the time being, but the punishment that the Metallurgical Institute should receive cannot be less. Tomorrow, a shelf will be set up on the school playground to write down their crimes and the reasons for the incident. I Let the whole school come and see their ugly behavior as a warning.”

Hu Yimo and others couldn't help but shudder after hearing this. They knew that Lin Xiaofeng was really angry this time. They have long heard of his methods. Now that they saw it with their own eyes, they were even more in awe.

"If there is a next time," Lin Xiaofeng stepped forward, put his hand on Hu Yimo's shoulder, and threatened: "Don't blame me for being rude! I will focus on you in the future. The important faculty and staff in the school are all locals , I won’t say much about the connection between you, but what I want to warn you is, don’t think that just because you were brought out by me, you can act recklessly! This school was established by me, and it is the most important thing in my heart. If anyone dares to destroy it," Lin Xiaofeng's eyes became as sharp as a knife, "I have a hundred ways to make him spend the rest of his life in prison!"

Hu Yimo's face looked like a freshly painted white wall, without a trace of blood. He swallowed and his eyes widened, showing the tension and fear in his heart. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, fearing that he would become Lin Xiaofeng's next target of punishment. Eric and Kalami, two craftsmen from afar, also deeply experienced Lin Xiaofeng's majesty and unswerving determination as heavy as a mountain. They were secretly glad that they confessed in time and did not get involved in a deeper whirlpool. The big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

Lin Xiaofeng's lips curved into a smile, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, looking directly at Eric and Kalami, and slowly said: "You two, you can go back. From today on, we will be working in Metallurgy I will not give you any less of the salary you deserve for your official appointment. If anything like this happens in the future, you must report it to me as soon as possible." Although his words were as calm as water, he exuded an irresistible tone. of majesty.

Eric and Karami seemed to have received amnesty, their faces were overjoyed. They bowed repeatedly and expressed their thanks incessantly: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your support. Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your support." Their eyes shone with longing and hope for the future, and they were full of deep gratitude and respect for Lin Xiaofeng.

"Go, go." Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand, as if to disperse the smoke in front of his eyes, and let them leave. Then, he pointed at the majestic Italian cannon and said to Hu Yimo: "Please compile a detailed copy of the information on this cannon and send it to the Ministry of Works. The other copy, together with this cannon, is sent to the Ministry of War. To the Ministry of War. They explained the situation in detail. From now on, the manufacturing of this cannon will be completely handed over to the Ministry of Industry. You only need to continue to improve the technology." His words revealed his extreme importance on this matter and his vision for the future. Looking forward to it endlessly.

Hu Yimo looked troubled. He seemed a little confused and unwilling, but he didn't dare to ask directly. He could only ask tentatively: "Master, why are you doing this? If we send it to the Ministry of Industry, how can we Isn’t it all work in vain?”

Li Dexian, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but echoed at this moment: "Old Lin, I think there is really no need to send this artillery to the Ministry of Works. It's not like you don't know the situation over there, and the efficiency is terribly low. What's more, they Maybe he doesn't understand the manufacturing process of this kind of artillery." He frowned, as if he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.

Li Dexian took a deep breath and continued: "I have been to the workshop of the Ministry of Industry before and saw them making firecrackers and old artillery with my own eyes. The time and manpower consumed are simply unimaginable. Moreover, the final product, The quality may not be as good as yours." His words were full of helplessness and regret, as if he felt deeply sad about the current situation of the Ministry of Industry.

He paused for a moment, with a firm light in his eyes, and continued: "In my opinion, the military manufacturing part can be directly handed over to your research institute. The Ministry of Household Affairs will directly place the order for customization, which saves money. And efficient." His words were full of deep trust in the institute, and he also expressed deep concern about the current situation of the Ministry of Industry.

However, Lin Xiaofeng shook his head. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through everything: "Your Highness, this account cannot be settled like this. The Ministry of Industry is responsible for far more types than our research institute, and they cannot cover everything. , which is also reasonable." His voice was steady and powerful, as if he was stating an indisputable fact.

He continued: "Although most of the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry have family skills, it is an indisputable fact that their skills are declining day by day. Coupled with their rigid production processes, manufacturing costs remain high. However, these can be Changes were made through rectification. The reason why they had no motivation to improve before was simply because they lacked competitors. Now, our institute can serve as their competitors and urge them to make rectifications." His words were full of wisdom and enthusiasm. Foresight, as if one has already seen the dawn of the future.

Li Dexian was deeply touched by Lin Xiaofeng's words. He nodded in agreement: "Old Lin, you are right. We should promote progress through competition instead of blindly blaming and complaining." There was a firm light in his eyes, as if he had already We are determined to promote this reform.

Lin Xiaofeng suddenly changed the subject, and said in a low but powerful voice: "However, I have one more important thing to tell you. I need to perform meritorious service to restore my official position." This news surprised Li Dexian, and he stared His eyes widened and he looked at Lin Xiaofeng in disbelief.

However, Lin Xiaofeng just smiled. He gently patted Li Dexian on the shoulder and said mysteriously: "However, this matter has not been completed yet, so there is no need to tell you now. I will share it with you when it is completed. Joy." His smile was full of confidence and expectation, as if indicating that future success was already waving to him.

Li Dexian was infected by Lin Xiaofeng's confidence and calmness. He also smiled and said: "Okay! Then I will wait for your good news!" Their laughter echoed in the empty venue, as if they were announcing their presence to the world. Determination and firm belief.

At this time, Hu Yimo, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but interjected and asked: "Then... what should we do with the manufacturing costs of the new artillery this time? After all, these costs are saved from other projects ." His words calmed the scene a little, but they also successfully brought up a very important topic.

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a while, and then said with certainty: "No problem, I will apply to the Ministry of Household Affairs for five hundred thousand taels of silver as funding for the next new project. We will apply for more funds at once, so that you can have more room. Come and start the work." His voice revealed his plans and expectations for the future, as if everything was under his control.

However, when Li Dexian heard this number, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Fifty thousand taels! Lao Lin, what are you daydreaming about?" He was obviously shocked by this number and looked in disbelief. Looking at Lin Xiaofeng, it was as if he was looking at a madman. But Lin Xiaofeng just smiled and didn't explain much, because he knew that although this number was a bit larger, it was a necessary investment to achieve their goals.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled, his eyes flashing with unique cunning. The sun shone on his angular face, adding a bit of uninhibited charm to him. He explained: "Apply for 500,000 taels, and it will be good if you can get 200,000 taels in the end. Things in this world are always difficult to satisfy." His words revealed his helplessness and acceptance of reality, but At the same time, he still had that uninhibited smile on his lips, as if to say that even in the face of the cruel reality, he remained optimistic and tenacious.

The two people standing beside him had deep respect in their eyes. They looked at Lin Xiaofeng as if they saw hope for the future. The three of them looked at each other and smiled. The smiles were full of expectations and confidence for the future, as if they were fully prepared for the upcoming challenges.

Three days later, the atmosphere in the court became somewhat unusual. In the solemn hall, the ministers' eyes wandered between Si Tingfeng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Hao Shouchang, the acting commander of the Jinyi Guards. As if looking for some clues, or speculating on the subtle relationship between the two.

Si Tingfeng and Hao Shouchang were each standing in a corner of the court, with different expressions. Si Tingfeng's eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was contemplating some important decision; while Hao Shouchang's face was expressionless, making it difficult to guess his inner thoughts.

Outside the court hall, the sun is shining brightly, the trees are shady, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. But inside the court, there was an undercurrent, and a battle for power was quietly going on.

The efficiency of Beilang University is indeed admirable. The day after Lin Xiaofeng left, they sent the artillery named "Italian Cannon" to the Ministry of War, along with a detailed instruction manual. Although this name made people at the Ministry of War feel a little confused as to why a foreign name would appear here, the people at Beidong University swore that its power was absolutely beyond imagination. Therefore, the people in the Ministry of War no longer delved into the details, but just expected that this artillery could exert its due power on the battlefield.

The test results really surprised everyone. The "Italian cannon" roared deafeningly from a distance of more than three miles. The shells streaked across the sky like meteors, and then accurately shot through the iron plate. It was so powerful that it was jaw-dropping. While Si Tingfeng was shocked, he was also secretly happy. He realized that this artillery would become a major weapon in future wars. So, he immediately wrote several secret letters and sent them to the homes of several colleagues, and began to secretly plan the matter.

Above the court, Emperor Jingjiang sat high on the dragon chair, looking majestic. He looked around the court, his eyes deep and sharp. Then he slowly said, "Please tell me if you have something to say!" As soon as he finished speaking, Si Tingfeng stood up without hesitation. He was dressed in military uniform and looked heroic. He said loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!" His voice was loud and exciting, echoing in the sky above the court, as if there was some great news to be announced.

Emperor Jingjiang felt a little surprised and smiled: "Oh? Is there any good news here? How happy is it?" His voice was gentle and majestic, revealing his expectations and curiosity about Si Tingfeng.

Si Tingfeng replied: "Your Majesty, the Royal Research Institute, under the leadership of Lin Xiaofeng, has recently developed a new type of weapon. Moreover, this weapon has been rigorously verified by the Ministry of War, confirming its excellent performance and great power! "His voice revealed unconcealable excitement and pride, as if he had seen the invincibility of this new weapon on the battlefield.

"This new type of artillery is called the 'Italian gun'. Compared with the old artillery, it is not only much lighter, but more importantly, its range and power have been greatly improved." Si Tingfeng continued, " After our testing, we found that it can still shoot through iron plates at a distance of more than three miles. This is really an unprecedented weapon. It can be said that the emergence of this artillery will completely change the battlefield. I am very surprised and happy, as if I have seen the invincible scene of our Dajing army on the battlefield." Si Tingfeng's words were full of excitement and pride, as if he could not wait to put this new weapon into actual combat.

However, everyone was secretly muttering in their hearts: Why does this broken gun have such a strange name? It doesn't sound like Lin Xiaofeng's style at all! Although they had doubts, no one dared to question it in court. After all, the power of this new weapon has been verified, and it was developed by Lin Xiaofeng himself. They believe that no matter what the name of this artillery is, it will play a huge role in future wars.

After listening to Si Tingfeng's report, Emperor Jingjiang felt a hint of surprise in his eyes. He said loudly: "Really? Is it really so powerful?" His voice revealed anticipation and curiosity, as if he couldn't wait to witness the power of this new weapon with his own eyes.

"What I said is true. If your Majesty has free time, you can go test-fire it yourself to see the effect." Si Tingfeng suggested, "However, because this kind of artillery is so powerful, you need to choose an open place for the test. Shoot to ensure safety." His face was filled with pride and expectation, as if he was inviting Emperor Jingjiang to witness this historic moment.

"Okay, okay!" Emperor Jingjiang said three good words in a row, expressing his inner joy and excitement. "The Royal Research Institute... I didn't expect that the Royal Research Institute would achieve new results so quickly." His words were full of excitement. Appreciation and affirmation of the work of the institute. At the same time, he also expressed high recognition and appreciation for Lin Xiaofeng. He knew that without Lin Xiaofeng's leadership and research and development, this new type of weapon would not have been born today.

Si Tingfeng clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty! As far as I know, the invention and manufacturing process of this artillery are also very helpful to our Ministry of War. Captain Lin specially sent the detailed manufacturing process to our Ministry of War. It has benefited us a lot.” His words were full of gratitude to Lin Xiaofeng and expectations for the future of the Ministry of War. At the same time, he also expressed his appreciation and admiration for Lin Xiaofeng's overall concept.

Emperor Jingjiang frowned and asked curiously: "Oh...? There has always been some discord between the Ministry of Industry and the Research Institute?" His words revealed his understanding of the relationship between the two departments, and at the same time he also Expressed his curiosity and concern about this. After all, as the king of a country, he needs to always pay attention to the relationships and dynamics between various departments in the court to ensure the stability of the court and the prosperity of the country.

Wang Yisong replied calmly: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. In the past, the Ministry of Industry and the Research Institute did have differences in certain concepts. However, our common goal is for the prosperity of Jingjiang. Although Lin Duwei was a little out of touch. He is unruly, but he has a very clear concept of the overall situation. He knows that only if the court is united can we jointly contribute to the prosperity of the country. Therefore, he has been committed to coordinating the relationships between various departments to promote the court. Harmony and stability. This time he sent the detailed manufacturing process to our Ministry of Industry for this reason." His words were full of recognition and appreciation for Lin Xiaofeng, as if he was calling on everyone to unite and work together. Work hard for the prosperity of Jingjiang.

Bai Yongyuan also echoed: "I agree! Lin Duwei has always had a strong sense of the overall situation. It's just that in the past, the court was too old, and many people looked at him with prejudice. Now there is such a person in the court The fresh blood and vitality are really gratifying! Objectively speaking, Captain Lin has indeed done a lot of good things for the court over the years, whether it is promoting economic development, improving people's livelihood and welfare, or strengthening national defense construction, etc. He has made an outstanding contribution!" His words were full of respect and admiration for Lin Xiaofeng. At the same time, he also called on everyone to evaluate a person's contributions and achievements objectively and fairly without any prejudice or discrimination.

Li Qiuyan stood above the court, his brows showing deep concern for Lin Xiaofeng. He looked at Emperor Jingjiang who was sitting on the dragon throne, and replied calmly and forcefully: "Your Majesty, in fact, there are still many people in the court who appreciate Lin Duwei's talents. He is young and promising, has quick thinking, and is decisive and powerful in handling affairs. . However, because of his youth and outstanding performance, everyone worried that he would become complacent, so on the surface, we all chose to remain silent and did not show too much appreciation for him. "

Li Qiuyan's words seemed to open a window, allowing everyone in the court to see the struggle and growth of a young official. His words not only contained concern and expectations for Lin Xiaofeng, but also called on everyone to give more support and encouragement to young people.

In the court, another minister also said with deep feeling: "It is indeed true! I think we also walked through this road back then. Our teachers always taught us to guard against arrogance, impetuosity, and do things down to earth. . Now that Captain Lin is no longer in the court, we will tell the truth. His talent and efforts are indeed worthy of our recognition and appreciation."

Discussions in the court continued one after another, as if everyone was praising Lin Xiaofeng's achievements and contributions. However, Wang Jingwen, who was standing aside, felt as if he had been struck by lightning at this moment. Ever since Lin Xiaofeng entered the court as an official, his talent and hard work seemed to have become a thorn in Wang Jingwen's heart. He couldn't accept this fact. Those harsh words against Lin Xiaofeng seemed to have turned into sarcasm and ridicule.

When Emperor Jingjiang listened to the discussion in the court, he couldn't help but admire Lin Xiaofeng more. However, he also knew that Lin Xiaofeng's reward should not be decided lightly. So, he asked: "In your opinion, Lin Xiaofeng has made great achievements again this time, how should I reward him?"

The air seemed to freeze at this moment. All those in the know were waiting nervously for that crucial voice. The important task of making this important speech naturally fell on the powerful man Bai Yongyuan.

Bai Yongyuan, a heavyweight in the imperial court, was attracting everyone's attention like a star holding the moon. He took a deep breath and walked steadily in front of everyone, his eyes firm and his expression solemn. He knows that his speech will affect Lin Xiaofeng's future, so he must make a choice carefully and wisely.

"This matter," Bai Yongyuan spoke slowly, with a loud and powerful voice, "I think it is more appropriate for your Majesty to decide. Your Majesty, do you have any intention regarding Lin Xiaofeng's reward?"

Emperor Jingjiang frowned and looked troubled. He looked around for the key information that would allow him to make a decision. However, whenever his eyes fell on someone, that person would shake their head in response. This feeling of helplessness is like searching for that bright pearl but never finding it.

"As for rewards," Emperor Jingjiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I want to reward you with gold and silver silk and satin. What do you think?"

However, the ministers' faces showed dissatisfaction. What they expected was obviously more than just material rewards.

Bai Yongyuan saw it and had an idea in his heart. He said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. I wonder if your Majesty is willing to listen to it?" His voice was full of confidence and expectation.

Emperor Jingjiang nodded slightly: "Mr. Bai Ge, it's okay to say so."

Bai Yongyuan cleared his throat and began to state his suggestions: "Former Captain Lin suddenly resigned. We discussed privately and suspected that he was frightened in Xixia, so His Majesty allowed him to rest. (End of Chapter)
