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

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel sympathy and pity. He gently patted Li Dexian on the shoulder and said, "Your Highness, why do you blame yourself so much? Every child has his own growth trajectory and interests. Maybe the emperor's grandson is not the kind of child who likes to read?"

Li Dexian was silent for a while after hearing this. Then he suddenly raised his head and said, "Old Lin, you are right. Maybe I should really respect the child's choice..." His voice was filled with a sense of relief and joy.

Lin Xiaofeng also laughed when he heard this. He knew that he had successfully persuaded the prince to give up the idea of ​​beating the child. So he quickly picked up the emperor's grandson from his arms and said, "Grandson, don't cry! Look, your father has promised not to beat you anymore!"

Li Lingjue stopped crying after hearing this. He raised his head, looked at Lin Xiaofeng, then looked at Li Dexian, and then smiled brightly. That smile was as warm and bright as the sun, filling the entire study room with vitality and energy.

"Oh, Your Highness!" Lin Xiaofeng suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit and said quickly, "I'm here to tell you the good news! The Emperor has agreed to let his grandson study at Aijing Academy!"

Li Dexian smiled in surprise after hearing this. He stood up and said, "Really? That's great! Old Lin, you are really the lucky star of our family!"

In the afternoon sun, Li Dexian's smile was like a blooming flower, bright and warm. He held Lin Xiaofeng's hand tightly, and the two walked side by side towards Li Lingjue who was concentrating on reading at the desk. Li Dexian's eyes were full of expectation and encouragement, and his steps were firm and powerful, as if every step was paving the way for Li Lingjue's future.

Li Lingjue, the young prince, sat at the desk in front of the window. The sunlight shone on his tender face, reflecting the hope and curiosity in his eyes. He was wearing a light blue brocade robe with delicate auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem, which made him look solemn yet lively. His hair was neatly tied behind his head with a golden headband, fluttering gently in the wind.

When Li Dexian and Lin Xiaofeng walked up to him, he raised his head, his bright eyes like the brightest stars in the night sky, flashing with curiosity and expectation. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng, and the smiling face seemed particularly kind at this moment. He remembered that every time he saw Lin Xiaofeng, he could always feel an inexplicable warmth and peace of mind. Especially just now, when Lin Xiaofeng blocked his father's stick for him, at that moment, his gratitude and respect surged into his heart like a tide.

"Jue'er, you have to learn from Master Fang in the future, do you hear me?" Li Dexian's voice was deep and powerful, and every word was full of expectation and determination. He held Li Lingjue's little hand tightly, as if to pass on his hope and strength to him.

Li Lingjue nodded and said in a clear and firm voice: "Hello, Master Fang!" His eyes were full of respect and expectation, as if he had already seen his future path.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, his smile warming people's hearts like a spring breeze. He walked to Li Lingjue's side, bent down, and said gently: "Your Highness, you will go to Aijing with me to study in the future. Hongli and the others are waiting for you there." His voice was as pleasant as a clear spring, making people feel inexplicably comfortable and relaxed.

Upon hearing the news, Li Lingjue showed a look of joy on his face. He seemed to have seen himself leaving this palace full of restraints and oppression and embarking on a new journey. His heart was filled with anticipation and excitement, like a bird that had been imprisoned for a long time and could finally spread its wings and fly high.

"Yes!" He nodded heavily, his voice full of firmness and determination. He knew that this would be an important turning point in his life, he would leave his father's protection and start his own journey of learning and growth.

Seeing Li Lingjue so determined and excited, Li Dexian also felt a little relieved. He knew that his expectations for his son were not in vain, and he believed that under Lin Xiaofeng's guidance, Li Lingjue would definitely become a wise and capable monarch.

However, Li Dexian still had a trace of worry in his heart. He recalled the scene when he was teaching Li Lingjue how to govern a country. Li Lingjue's answer made him feel surprised and helpless. He sighed and said, "I just taught him how to govern a country, but he talked nonsense. I asked him how to educate the people, guess what he answered me? He said he would post the book on the street and let the people read it themselves!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but roll his eyes. He understood Li Dexian's worries and helplessness, but he also saw Li Lingjue's unique ideas. He walked up to Li Lingjue, squatted down, and said gently: "Your Highness, how do you think we should educate the people?"

Li Lingjue looked up at Lin Xiaofeng's deep and bright eyes. He felt an inexplicable sense of security and trust. He thought for a moment and then said seriously, "I think we should let the people learn to think for themselves instead of just following our instructions."

Deep in the palace, in an ancient and solemn study, sunlight shines through the delicate window lattices onto the thick pages of books, and the air is filled with a faint scent of ink. Li Lingjue, the young prince, is standing in the center of the study at this moment. He is dressed in a light blue shirt, with a bit of immaturity and confusion between his brows. He timidly looks at Li Dexian, his father, who is sitting opposite him, wearing gorgeous court clothes and a majestic demeanor, and then glances at Lin Xiaofeng, who is standing beside him, smiling and encouraging him, his respected master.

Lin Xiaofeng, the wise man in the palace, always had a warm and profound smile, as if he could see into people's hearts. He was dressed in a plain robe, with a simple jade belt tied around his waist, and his black hair was neatly tied behind his head, looking elegant and dignified. His eyes were full of wisdom and kindness, like a kind elder, patiently guiding the younger generation to the right path.

Under the majestic gaze of Li Dexian and the encouraging smile of Lin Xiaofeng, Li Lingjue mustered up his courage. He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice as steady as possible: "I don't think what I said is right? The book writes about virtue and ethics. Let the people read it for themselves and they will know!" Although his voice was still trembling, it revealed a firmness and confidence.

Li Dexian nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but he did not speak, instead he looked at Lin Xiaofeng. Lin Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, then slowly said: "Your Highness, what you said is very true, but what if the people are illiterate?" His voice was low and powerful, as if there was a kind of magic that attracted Li Lingjue's attention.

Li Lingjue was slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought. He frowned and thought hard about this question. His eyes wandered around the study, as if looking for clues to the answer. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had found the answer: "Then we can find someone on the street to explain morality and ethics!" His voice was full of excitement and anticipation, as if he had already seen the beautiful scene he imagined.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Then he paused and continued, "Your Highness, what you said is very good, but... a saint once said: 'Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, and this is evil; everyone knows that goodness is goodness, and this is not good.' Do you understand the meaning of this sentence?" His voice became deeper and more powerful, as if he wanted to deeply imprint the deep meaning of this sentence in Li Lingjue's heart.

Li Lingjue listened to this sentence, frowning, and fell into deep thought. He closed his eyes and tried to picture the scene described by this sentence in his mind. He seemed to see a bustling street with people coming and going. However, in this bustling street, there was some unknown darkness and ugliness hidden. He opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, with a bright light in his eyes: "I understand that this sentence means that if everyone in the world knows what is beautiful, then ugliness exists." His voice revealed a kind of understanding and joy, as if he had found the key to the road to wisdom.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, his eyes full of admiration and satisfaction: "The emperor's grandson is indeed smart." He paused and continued: "Now that you understand this truth, you should also know that if the court only preaches virtue and ethics, the people will soon know what is immoral and evil behavior, and will become suspicious. Because people will always have doubts and disgust about things that are too absolute. So while we promote virtue and ethics, we must also focus on guiding and inspiring the people to think and judge for themselves."

Li Lingjue listened to Lin Xiaofeng's words, and his mind suddenly became clear. He felt as if a new door had been opened to his mind, and a vast new world was unfolding before his eyes. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. Then he looked at Lin Xiaofeng, his eyes full of gratitude and admiration: "Thank you for your teachings, Master! I understand that we should let the people think and judge for themselves, instead of blindly imposing something on them."

Deep in the palace, in an ancient courtyard, on both sides of the bluestone-paved path, green bamboos swayed, and the breeze rustled the bamboo leaves, as if whispering. Lin Xiaofeng, a middle-aged scholar in a green robe, stood at the end of the path. His eyes were as deep as the night sky, shining with wisdom. His face was thin, with high cheekbones, and he looked particularly resolute. At this moment, he was facing a young prince, Li Lingjue.

Li Lingjue was still young, with a tender face, and a pair of bright eyes that revealed curiosity and doubt about the world. He was wearing luxurious brocade clothes and a jade crown, but at the moment he seemed a little uneasy. He frowned, as if he was confused by Lin Xiaofeng's words.

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath, and his voice floated in the breeze, carrying a profound and philosophical meaning: "Because the court may also make mistakes!" His words were like a key, gently touching a corner of Li Lingjue's heart. He continued: "The words and deeds of the court are like the stars in the sky, guiding the direction of the people. But if the stars deviate, the people will lose their way and begin to doubt."

Lin Xiaofeng's words flowed through Li Lingjue's heart like a spring, and he seemed to see a picture: the court was like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the people were looking up at the stars behind the bright moon. When the bright moon had flaws, the stars would feel confused and uneasy.

However, Li Lingjue still shook his head, with a hint of confusion and helplessness in his voice: "I still don't understand." His words were like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, floating down gently with a hint of desolation.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a kind of warmth and patience. He gently patted Li Lingjue's shoulder, as if to give him some strength: "Then let me put it another way." He pointed to a peach tree in the courtyard and continued: "If someone wants to show off his talents, but he himself has no ability, he usually brags all day long that he has an amazing friend or an ancestor who is a high-ranking official. If he doesn't have these, he can also brag that he has a strong motherland and wise ancestors."

Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a sharp sword, piercing people's hearts. His words reminded Li Lingjue of those people who boasted about their background all day long. Their words were empty and disgusting.

"But these things he brags about are not obtained through his hard work, so they not only cannot bring him glory, but will make people with discerning eyes see his emptiness at a glance; and other people who don't understand will sooner or later discover his emptiness and even look down on him after spending more time with him." Lin Xiaofeng continued. His voice was full of determination and strength, as if he was revealing a truth to Li Lingjue.

Li Lingjue listened quietly, and an inexplicable feeling of being touched surged in his heart. He seemed to see a wise man pointing out the way for him and guiding him to the right path.

"Grandson, do you understand?" Lin Xiaofeng asked, with a hint of expectation and encouragement in his voice.

Li Lingjue nodded, his voice filled with firmness and determination: "I understand this truth." His words were like a seed, taking root and sprouting in his heart.

However, he still had some doubts: "But I still think there is nothing wrong in preaching virtue and ethics. What is the difference between the two?" There was a hint of doubt and unwillingness in his voice.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and replied, "These two things are actually the same thing. If the court wants to govern the world with morality, it must first be moral itself. If we do that, others will take us as an example to follow. This is the principle of governing by inaction and educating all living beings with unspoken teachings." There was a firmness and confidence in his voice, as if he was revealing an eternal truth to Li Lingjue.

Li Dexian, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel deeply moved when he saw the two people talking. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng's deep and resolute eyes, as if he saw the shadow of his youth. He felt an inexplicable sense of relief and joy in his heart, as if he had seen Li Lingjue thrive under Lin Xiaofeng's guidance.

"I think I understand a little bit!" Li Lingjue said suddenly. There was a hint of excitement and excitement in his voice, as if he had touched the edge of wisdom.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, his voice full of warmth and encouragement: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will slowly understand it in the future. We are not good at other things, but as teachers, we have the most powerful weapon in the world."

"What weapon?" Li Lingjue asked curiously. His eyes flashed brightly, as if he was expecting some mysterious and powerful force.

Lin Xiaofeng opened his mouth and pointed inside, then said with a smile: "This is the weapon." His words were as warm and gentle as a spring breeze.

Li Lingjue widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief: "What? You said the tongue can be used as a weapon?" There was a hint of surprise and curiosity in his voice.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the golden light covered every inch of the palace garden, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity to this quiet space. Lin Xiaofeng, a thin young man with sharp eyes, stood in a corner of the garden with a faint smile on his lips, as if the troubles in this world had nothing to do with him. His fingers gently touched a blooming flower, and the flower swayed under his fingertips, as if responding to his smile.

When he heard the call from Crown Prince Li Lingjue, Lin Xiaofeng turned around, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. He smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and nodded in response: "Yes, it's the tongue we usually use to talk." He paused, his eyes revealing a bit of depth, as if he wanted to introduce Li Lingjue to a whole new world.

"Your Highness, do you know?" Lin Xiaofeng's voice became low and magnetic, "There are many tribes in this world, and the heads of the tribes are called chiefs. If you want to be a leader, it depends not only on your fists, but also on your eloquence." His words were full of yearning and curiosity about the unknown world, as if he was painting a grand blueprint for Li Lingjue.

Li Lingjue stood opposite Lin Xiaofeng, his face full of curiosity and expectation. His eyes were shining, as if he was trying to absorb every word Lin Xiaofeng said. He was tall and had an extraordinary temperament, but at this moment he was like a child thirsty for knowledge, full of awe and yearning for the unknown world.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Li Lingjue's expression, and a feeling of pride welled up in his heart. He continued, "It's the same everywhere. Whoever can master more words, or even create new words, will stand at the top of the crowd. Sometimes, changing the way you say things can help you shirk responsibility or even decide someone else's fate. This is the real powerful weapon!" His voice was full of passion and power, as if he wanted to tell Li Lingjue all the truths in the world.

Li Lingjue was deeply attracted by Lin Xiaofeng's words, his eyes lit up, as if he saw a new world. He answered without hesitation: "Yes!" His voice was firm and powerful, full of expectations and longings for the future.

Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Li Dexian with pride, and then laughed out loud. His laughter echoed in the garden, as if even the sunset was infected by his laughter and became more brilliant. He patted Li Lingjue on the shoulder and said, "Okay! Then you should learn well from me, your master. I promise that I will let you master this skill!"

Li Lingjue was infected by Lin Xiaofeng's enthusiasm, and a bright smile appeared on his face. He held Lin Xiaofeng's hand tightly, as if he wanted to keep this friendship in his heart forever.

However, when Lin Xiaofeng took out those books, Li Lingjue's expression changed slightly. He looked at the dense handwriting and felt uneasy. He lowered his head to look at the book in his hand, then looked up at Lin Xiaofeng, and asked uneasily: "Master, there are so many contents, probably about 4,000 to 5,000 words?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Li Lingjue's nervous expression and couldn't help but laugh. He gently patted Li Lingjue's shoulder and comforted him, "Four or five thousand words? This is just the beginning. But don't worry, Your Highness, I will teach you how to recite these contents step by step."

In the early autumn afternoon, the sun shines like golden threads in the courtyard of North Corridor University, coating every leaf with a light golden hue. The breeze blows gently, and the leaves sway in the wind, making a rustling sound, as if telling something. In this quiet and beautiful moment, Lin Xiaofeng smiled gently, and that smile was like a spring breeze, warm and gentle.

He slowly reached out his hand and gently patted Li Lingjue's shoulder. Li Lingjue, a 15-year-old boy, frowned, holding a heavy book in his hand, his eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness. Lin Xiaofeng looked at him, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, he knew that this boy was facing tremendous pressure.

"It's okay, Lingjue." Lin Xiaofeng's voice was deep and powerful, as if it had a magical power that could soothe people's hearts. "Although there is a lot of content, just memorize as much as you can. As long as you persevere, you will be able to memorize it one day." His words were full of encouragement and trust, which made Li Lingjue's heart surge with warmth.

Li Lingjue raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaofeng's determined eyes, with a gleam of determination in his eyes. He took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the courage and strength into his body. Then, he nodded with determination and said in a firm voice: "I understand, Master!"

Seeing Li Lingjue return to his studies, Lin Xiaofeng felt a warm current in his heart. He turned around, walked out of the room, and came to the courtyard. The sun shone on him, stretching his figure very long. He stood in the sun, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the warmth and power of nature.

At this time, Li Dexian came over. He was wearing a green robe with a white belt around his waist, and he looked energetic. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng and asked with some doubt: "Master, do you have something to ask me?"

Lin Xiaofeng turned around, looked at Li Dexian's energetic face, and nodded. He led Li Dexian to the pavilion nearby and motioned him to sit down. After Li Dexian sat down, he looked at Lin Xiaofeng nervously, wondering what the master wanted to talk to him about.

Lin Xiaofeng sat on the stone bench, looked at Li Dexian's nervous face, and smiled gently. He said, "The production of the train is almost finished, and I need a train driver. Or should I call him a train driver. I see that you are very talented and interested in this field, so I want to ask you if you are interested in taking on this position?"

After hearing this, Li Dexian's eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. He said in surprise: "Of course I'm interested! The title of train driver belongs to me!" His voice was full of confidence and determination, as if he had already seen himself driving a train on the rails.

However, after the excitement, he lowered his head hesitantly. He frowned, thought for a while, then looked up at Lin Xiaofeng and said, "However, Master, although the locomotive is almost finished, the railway... is still very long. Can we lay a hundred feet of railway first and show it to the court? This will not only prove our strength, but also let the court see our achievements."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng slowly shook his head. He looked at Li Dexian's expectant face and said in a deep voice, "No. The demonstration must use complete products and the railway must be long enough, otherwise there will be endless troubles. I plan to build a railway from Beilang University to Kyoto and then to Yangqu County. This railway will run through the entire country, connecting the north and the south, and is of vital importance to the country's development and prosperity."

At this point, Lin Xiaofeng paused, he looked at Li Dexian and continued: "Moreover, the difficulties we are facing now are not just financial and technical problems. More importantly, we need to convince the court and local officials to support our plan. This requires us to have enough strength and results to show them. Therefore, we cannot just be satisfied with temporary success and display."

After listening to this, Li Dexian nodded seriously. He understood Lin Xiaofeng's intention and determination, and also knew the heavy responsibility he shouldered. Although there was some pressure and challenge, he still firmly accepted the task. He looked up at Lin Xiaofeng and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to complete this task!" His voice was full of determination and confidence, as if he had seen the hope and success of the future.

However, the journey of building the railway was far from being as smooth as imagined. In the early spring morning, the sun shone through the clouds and sprinkled on the busy construction site, and the dust danced gently under the sun. The workers were sweating profusely, and the hammers they held tightly in their hands seemed to be a challenge to fate. However, even with such hard work, they soon encountered the first huge problem - funding.

Li Dexian stood in a corner of the construction site, looking into the distance with a worried look. He held a bill tightly in his hand, and the numbers on it were like a mountain, weighing him down. He turned his head and looked at the busy figure - Lin Xiaofeng. The engineer, respected by the workers as "Master", was concentrating on studying a complex drawing, with a frown on his face, as if he was struggling with some difficult problem.

Li Dexian took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, stepped forward, and said softly, "Master, regarding the funding issue... I'm afraid we need to think of a solution."

Lin Xiaofeng raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he immediately regained his composure. He put down the blueprint in his hand, stood up, patted the dust off his body, and said in a deep voice: "I know that building a railway requires huge investment, but we can't give up because of this."

He walked over to Li Dexian, patted him on the shoulder, and continued, "I think we can first build a section of railway as a demonstration and show it to the court. If this section of railway can be successfully operated, then the court may give us more support."

However, Li Dexian shook his head with a firm look on his face: "Master, I disagree. We can't take risks. If this section of the railway fails, then all our efforts will be in vain. We must ensure that every step is foolproof."

Lin Xiaofeng was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "You are right. I can't let everyone's efforts go to waste. Then, let's work together to raise funds."

In the following days, they began to run around to raise funds. They traveled to every corner of the capital and visited countless dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. However, the process of raising funds was extremely difficult. Many people scoffed at their plan, thinking it was just an unrealistic dream. But Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian never gave up. They firmly believed that as long as they persisted, they would succeed one day.

By chance, they met a fortune teller who claimed to be able to predict the future. The fortune teller was dressed in a green shirt and held a divination flag, looking quite mysterious. Li Dexian walked up to him curiously and asked, "Can you predict our future?"

The fortune teller smiled, looked at them carefully, and then said slowly: "Your future is full of challenges and opportunities. But as long as you persist, you will succeed."

Although the fortune teller's words were a little vague, Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian were inspired and strengthened by them. They knew that this fortune teller was not an ordinary person and his words contained a kind of profound wisdom and insight.

With their unremitting efforts, they finally raised enough funds. The moment the funds were in hand, the whole construction site was boiling. The workers cheered as if they saw the dawn of victory. Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian also smiled at each other, knowing that their efforts had finally paid off.

The process of railway construction was full of hardships and challenges. They encountered various difficulties and problems, but every time they successfully overcame them with wisdom and perseverance. Whenever there was a problem in the railway laying, Lin Xiaofeng would always go to the site to check and give a solution. His wisdom and decisiveness impressed everyone. And Li Dexian gradually grew into an excellent train driver and railway builder under Lin Xiaofeng's guidance. He not only learned how to drive a train, but also learned how to cooperate with others to complete the task together.

After years of hard work, the railway was finally built. This railway crossed the mountains and connected Beilang University with Kyoto and extended to Yangqu County and other areas. Its completion not only brought great impetus to the development of the entire country, but also became a symbol of national prosperity.

At the celebration of the completion of the railway, Lin Xiaofeng stood beside the railroad and looked at the railroad extending into the distance. He was filled with satisfaction and pride. He knew that this railway was not only a transportation line but also the result of their hard work and sweat. Li Dexian also stood beside him and they smiled at each other as if all the hardships had been rewarded at this moment.

"We did it." Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile, his voice full of confidence and pride.

"Yes, we did it." Li Dexian responded with a determined light in his eyes. They knew that their dream had come true and it was all inseparable from their persistence and hard work.

Amid the cheers of the celebration, they held each other's hands tightly, feeling the warmth and strength of each other's palms. They looked into the distance along the railroad tracks, as if they saw a better future beckoning them. This railway will carry their dreams and hopes to a more glorious future. And their story will be remembered forever in people's hearts and become an eternal legend.

At the same time, in the spacious and bright study room of the mansion, the sunlight shines through the exquisite lattice windows onto the heavy mahogany desk, and the mottled light and shadow add a bit of warmth and liveliness to the quiet study room. Lin Xiaofeng leaned gently on the chair, a deep smile appeared on his face, and his eyes sparkled with wisdom. He looked at Hong Cheng sitting opposite him, and said in a calm but sharp tone: "Master Hong, it is a good thing to leave a name in history, but if you use the hard-earned money of the people to make a name for yourself, it would be a bit inappropriate, right?"

Hong Cheng's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he felt a subtle embarrassment, as if he had suddenly been poked in some hidden sore spot. Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a slap in the face. Although it didn't hurt, it made his face turn red. He thought to himself, why did Lin Xiaofeng speak so directly? Can't he give people some face? But on the surface, he could only try his best to hide his discomfort and responded with an awkward laugh, "Hey, hey, business is business, business is business." His voice was a little unnatural, as if he was defending himself.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of cunning and insight, as if he could see through Hong Cheng's mind, "Public affairs should indeed be handled publicly, but using 500,000 taels of silver to handle public affairs seems a bit extravagant." He paused, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I have a way that can save money and do things more beautifully. Lord Hong, are you interested in listening?"

Although Hong Cheng felt a little unhappy, he tried to remain calm, "Master Lin, please speak." He made a gesture of invitation and forced a polite smile on his face.

Lin Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, as if every word had been carefully considered, "I want to hold a grand event at Beilang University and invite the foreign envoys in the Dali Temple to participate in a unique sports meeting."

"Sports meet?" Hong Cheng was stunned for a moment. This word was unfamiliar to him. He frowned slightly and asked, "What is that?"

Lin Xiaofeng explained with a smile, "To put it simply, it's about finding a group of people and competing to see who can run faster, who can jump higher, and also throwing sandbags, shooting arrows, etc." His tone was relaxed and cheerful, as if he had already seen the lively scene of the sports meeting.

However, Hong Cheng obviously didn't buy it. When he heard the idea, his brows knitted, his eyes widened like bells, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, "Isn't this nonsense? What's the point?" He stood up, and his voice involuntarily rose a few degrees, obviously angry and puzzled by Lin Xiaofeng's proposal. He thought Lin Xiaofeng would have some brilliant ideas, but he didn't expect it to be such an absurd idea. Now the people can't even get enough food, how can they have the energy to participate in such a boring competition?
Seeing Hong Cheng's intense reaction, Lin Xiaofeng was not surprised. He raised his hand to signal Hong Cheng to calm down, still keeping a calm smile on his face, "Master Hong, don't be anxious, sit down first."

Hong Cheng sat down again angrily, his dissatisfaction evident on his face, "How can I not be anxious? If this gets out, won't people laugh at me?" He glared at Lin Xiaofeng, obviously having reservations about this proposal.

However, Lin Xiaofeng was not discouraged. He patiently advised Hong Cheng, his voice gentle but firm, "Master Hong, please be patient. Think about it, the foreign guests at the Dali Temple come from all over the world, with different cultural backgrounds and skin colors. If you want to communicate with them, you have to find some common topics. I think this sports meeting is a good opportunity."

He paused and continued, "The sports games can not only bring people closer together and enhance friendship, but more importantly, if we win good results in the competition, it will be a great encouragement to the people. They can see that our country is not only prosperous in economy and culture, but also has outstanding strength in sports. In addition, this can also showcase the cultural heritage of Jingjiang and the spiritual outlook of our people, and promote our exchanges and understanding with other countries. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone." Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were shining with longing and expectation for the future, as if he had already seen that grand scene.

Finally, he said in a more determined tone: "I even plan to hold such a sports meeting every four years and make it a tradition and a grand event. This will not only continue to promote exchanges and understanding at home and abroad, but also bring more joy and expectations to the people."

Although Lin Xiaofeng's words were full of passion and appeal, Hong Cheng still frowned and showed a thoughtful expression on his face. He was not completely convinced, but he did not refute Lin Xiaofeng immediately. This proposal was too new and avant-garde for him, and he needed time to digest and think about it. However, it is undeniable that Lin Xiaofeng's ideas did bring him new perspectives and inspiration.

In the spring sunshine of Jingjiang, Lin Xiaofeng stood in the courtyard of the Dali Temple, his figure swaying slightly in the breeze, like a tall pine tree. His eyes were deep, as if he could see into people's hearts, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was mysterious and confident. He looked at Hong Cheng in front of him, with a firm light in his eyes. Hong Cheng, the deputy minister of the Dali Temple, frowned at this moment, with confusion and worry written all over his face. He was wearing a dark blue official uniform, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, setting off his serious face. His eyes stayed on Lin Xiaofeng for a moment, as if trying to find the answer in the eyes of this young official.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng smiled and added: "I know what you are worried about. This time we can start on a small scale. Friendship first, competition second. The contestants can be selected by the Dali Temple, so that it will not be accused of bullying." There was an unquestionable firmness in his words, as if he had foreseen the success of this sports meeting.

He paused and continued, "To tell you the truth, the idea of ​​this sports meeting is not something I made up out of thin air. There is a small country called Greece overseas, and they often hold such events, and it has a very long history." As soon as Lin Xiaofeng finished speaking, Hong Cheng's face showed an even more puzzled expression.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but laugh. He seemed to see the doubts and curiosity in Hong Cheng's heart, so he continued to explain: "Although the small country of Greece is located in a remote area, their culture is very unique. They advocate sports and competitions, and believe that competitions can enhance friendship and unity among people. The sports games there are large-scale, with many participants, attracting tourists and businessmen from all over the world. Their experience tells us that such activities can not only showcase the country's strength and culture, but also promote international exchanges and cooperation."

As Hong Cheng listened to Lin Xiaofeng's description, his doubts gradually dissipated. He looked up at the sky, as if he saw the distant Greek country waving at him. He took a deep breath, as if he was infected by Lin Xiaofeng's enthusiasm and confidence.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng struck while the iron was hot and said: "If you don't believe it, just go and check it out! Although our culture is different from theirs, our love for fun is the same. Don't worry!" His words were full of confidence and determination, as if he had already seen the success of this sports meeting.

Hong Cheng fell into deep thought. He understood the importance of this sports meeting. This was not only an opportunity to show the country's strength and culture, but also an opportunity to promote international exchanges and cooperation. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility and could not make a decision lightly.

After a while, Hong Cheng finally spoke: "I still think it's inappropriate. We in Jingjiang are a country of etiquette, and it's too risky to do this." His voice was low but firm and powerful.

Lin Xiaofeng's face turned serious. He took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I am doing this not only for the exchange between countries." He paused and continued, "I also want to invite them to visit North Corridor University to let them see our achievements with their own eyes. Only in this way can we attract more talents from all over the world."

Hong Cheng was shocked when he heard this. He stared at Lin Xiaofeng with wide eyes as if he couldn't believe his ears. He knew the importance of Beilang University. It was one of the most prestigious universities in Jingjiang and brought together elite students from all over the country. If they really let outsiders enter Beilang University for a visit, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar.

He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Master Lin, you are not kidding, are you? How can Beilang University allow outsiders to enter casually?" His voice was full of worry and uneasiness.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Those senior officials in the court used to look down on our Beilang University, why are they so cautious now? In the past, they regarded Beilang University as a place for quirks and tricks." There was some sarcasm and self-mockery in his words, but more of it was firmness and confidence.

Hong Cheng sighed and said, "Now that we've come to this, I won't hide it from you. In the past, the officials in the court may have had some misunderstandings about Beilang University, but now everyone can see your achievements." He paused and continued, "I have to admit that Beilang University is indeed very powerful. The sage books talk about great principles, while Beilang University teaches practical skills. These skills are real skills, so they cannot be leaked to outsiders."

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "Hearing you say that, it seems that you still look down on our Beilang University!" His laughter was full of confidence and pride, as if he was vindicating Beilang University.

Hong Cheng hurriedly explained: "It's not like that! I don't mean to look down on you. It's just that these skills are quick to take effect and very practical, so they can't be easily leaked to outsiders." His voice was full of helplessness and worry.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded to show his understanding. He took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry about this. With the Jinyiwei here, important technologies will not be leaked. As for the school's textbooks, it doesn't matter even if outsiders learn them." He explained, "Science is a subject that needs to be constantly improved. A lot of knowledge at our Beilang University should be shared publicly, so I published all the papers in the newspaper."

Hong Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng with admiration in his eyes. He knew that the young official in front of him not only had great ambitions but also had firm beliefs and determination. He believed that under Lin Xiaofeng's leadership, this sports meeting would be a complete success.

“But I’m still a little worried…”

Beilang University in Jingjiang is a historic university standing on this ancient and fertile land. The summer sun shines through the treetops, dappling on the bluestone paths, and the breeze brings bursts of book fragrance.

At this moment, in the meeting hall of Beilang University, two important figures were having an in-depth discussion. One of them was the young vice president of the school, Lin Xiaofeng. He was dressed in a green robe and a jade crown, and his temperament was elegant and majestic. His eyes were shining with wisdom, as if he could see through everything in the world. The other was Lord Hongcheng of the Dali Temple. He was dressed in official uniform and a black gauze hat, with a serious face, looking solemn and majestic.

Lin Xiaofeng stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, as if he could see through the layers of buildings and see the world in the distance. He took a deep breath, turned around and said to Hong Cheng: "Master Hong, if we do nothing because we are afraid of making mistakes, then we can't accomplish anything. I tell you the truth, the value of a genius is higher than ten thousand mediocre people. So our North Corridor University must recruit talents from all over the world, so that we can maintain our leading position."

His words were full of determination and confidence, as if there was an invisible force supporting him. His eyes flashed with expectations for the future and the courage to take on challenges. He continued, "Those foreigners in the Dali Temple should be able to understand our newspapers, right? Maybe some of them have already read it. If there are smart people among them who want to imitate our North Corridor University, then let them do it!"

Lin Xiaofeng's words revealed a kind of open-mindedness and confidence. He knew that only by daring to accept challenges can one make continuous progress. He paused, took a deep breath, and continued: "Excuse me, the scholars in Jingjiang are too burdened with their thoughts. Deep down, they still look down on those so-called skills. So it is difficult for true geniuses to enter our Beilang University."

His words revealed a sense of helplessness and worry. He knew very well that this outdated concept had become a stumbling block to the development of North Corridor University. He hoped that through his own efforts, he could change this situation and enable North Corridor University to attract more talents.

Hong Cheng listened to Lin Xiaofeng's words and smiled bitterly. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng's serious expression and shook his head, feeling a little amused. He retorted: "You are exaggerating. How can those small countries in the West be compared with our Jingjiang? We are the Celestial Empire, and they are just some barbaric lands."

However, Lin Xiaofeng looked at Hong Cheng seriously, as if he wanted to see through his heart. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Master Hong, you are wrong. The world is big, we can't just focus on our own feet. Although Western countries are small, they also have their own strengths. We can't ignore their existence because of our arrogance."

His voice was firm and powerful, as if there was an invisible force supporting him. He continued, "Do you know why the sales of our North Corridor Newspaper exceeds the total sales of the six newspapers? Because we never instill fixed ideas in our readers, but show the diverse values ​​of the people through news reports. This will naturally attract more people's attention and arouse heated discussions. In the same way, if we want North Corridor University to develop rapidly, we must attract new cultures to join."

Hong Cheng listened to Lin Xiaofeng's words and fell into deep thought. He had to admit that Lin Xiaofeng's words did make sense. But he was still a little worried: "But will introducing foreigners cause any trouble?"

In the early autumn morning light, Lin Xiaofeng stood on the tower of Hongcheng, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance and the bustling streets below, with a firm and blazing light in his eyes. His face was firm, as if he had become more calm and resolute after years of baptism. His hands tightly grasped the guardrail of the tower, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force, as if telling of his inner determination and persistence.

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and turned to face Hong Cheng. His eyes shuttled through the crowd and finally fixed on Hong Cheng's face. He waved his hand and said in a sonorous voice: "Are you afraid of falling and not walking? Are you afraid of hearing the sound of locusts and not plowing the land? We can't stand still because of fear. There may be some problems at the beginning, but we can start on a small scale and find ways to solve the problems when they arise."

Hong Cheng looked at Lin Xiaofeng, his determined eyes like a bright beacon, illuminating the confusion and fear in his heart. He felt the indomitable spiritual power emanating from Lin Xiaofeng, and the tangled fog in his heart gradually dissipated. He took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a slightly trembling but firm voice: "Okay, let's do as you say."

Lin Xiaofeng saw that Hong Cheng was finally convinced, and it seemed that half of the burden in his heart was lifted. He knew that this decision was not easy for Hong Cheng, but he also believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to get this done. He reached out and patted Hong Cheng on the shoulder, giving him firm support and encouragement.

As the conversation between the two ended, Lin Xiaofeng began to prepare busily. He sought the cooperation of the Dali Temple and began to prepare for the upcoming "Jingjiang World Games". He personally drew the layout of the venue for the Games, and every detail was repeatedly scrutinized and modified. He shuttled through the streets and alleys of Jingjiang, communicating with the craftsmen about the design concepts and construction requirements to ensure that the venue of the Games could be presented perfectly.

The playground of North Corridor University was bustling with workers busy building auditoriums, repainting the track, setting up archery targets and other items. Lin Xiaofeng stood in the middle of the playground, watching the busy scene with a sharp gaze. He seemed to see the grand scene of the sports meeting that day: the auditorium was full, cheers and shouts were heard one after another; the figures of athletes from various countries fighting hard on the field intertwined into a magnificent picture; and he himself stood on the rostrum and admired all this, with a satisfied smile on his face.

At the same time, Lin Xiaofeng was also planning for the profitability of the Games. He personally visited the major merchants in Jingjiang City and discussed with them the sale of naming rights and souvenirs. With his eloquence and charm, he successfully persuaded these merchants to sponsor the Games and customized some exquisite souvenirs to attract the audience. This would save money for the court and make his own pockets fatter. The more Lin Xiaofeng thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he had seen a steady stream of gold, silver and treasures flowing towards him.

At the same time, the survey of the railway from Yangqu to Jingdu was also in full swing. Lin Xiaofeng personally went to the survey site to guide the work and faced various difficulties and challenges with the survey team members. He stood on the hillside and looked at the railway line that was about to be completed, and his heart was full of pride and expectation. He knew that this railway was of great significance to the development of Jingjiang and would provide more convenient transportation conditions for the upcoming sports games.

As the preparations progressed, Lin Xiaofeng felt more and more confident. He was busy until late at night every day, but every time he thought of the upcoming sports meeting, he felt extremely excited and looking forward to it. He believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to make this sports meeting a success so that the whole world could see the prosperity and prosperity of Jingjiang. At the same time, he also looked forward to attracting more foreigners to Jingjiang through this sports meeting, promoting the exchange and integration of Chinese and foreign cultures, and injecting new vitality into Jingjiang's future.

During the preparation process, Lin Xiaofeng was not only a leader but also a participant. He personally participated in every aspect of the Games, building the venue with the craftsmen, discussing cooperation plans with the merchants, and training and competing with the athletes. He could be seen everywhere on the playground, in the shops, and in the meeting rooms, becoming one of the busiest and most eye-catching people in Jingjiang City.

Of course, there are also some difficulties and challenges in this process. Sometimes it is insufficient funds, sometimes it is a shortage of personnel, sometimes it is a venue problem... But no matter what difficulties Lin Xiaofeng encounters, he can quickly find solutions to the problems and lead the team to overcome them. His determination and courage infected everyone around him and made them willing to devote their efforts and sweat for this sports meeting.

As time went by, the preparations for the Games were drawing to a close. Standing on the brand new playground, Lin Xiaofeng looked at the busy figures and the facilities that were about to be completed, and his heart was filled with pride and anticipation. He knew that his and his team's efforts had finally paid off and injected new vitality and hope into Jingjiang's future. At the same time, he also looked forward to showcasing Jingjiang's charm through this Games and attracting more foreigners to come to this land to witness Jingjiang's prosperity and prosperity.

On the vast Beilang Cuju field of Jingjiang State, the sunlight is like golden sand, gently falling through the thin clouds. Every ray of light is like carefully polished gold, sprinkled on the ancient land, covering this field with countless histories with a layer of dazzling golden glory. Under this glorious illumination, the Cuju field seems to be given new life, and every inch of land is shining with vitality and vigor.

The members of the delegation from various vassal states wore traditional costumes of their respective countries, some gorgeous, some plain, but all of them looked energetic. Their figures jumped in the sun, like a group of agile cheetahs, galloping freely on the grassland. The sweat slid down their foreheads, like crystal pearls, shining in the sun, condensing their efforts and enthusiasm.

Their sportswear is colorful, just like a spring garden, and various colors are intertwined to form a moving picture. Red is like fire, symbolizing passion and courage; blue is like the sea, representing wisdom and depth; yellow is like the sun, implying hope and vitality... These colors are intertwined, not only showing the cultural characteristics of each vassal state, but also reflecting their importance and expectations for this game.

Prince Jingjiang stood on the high platform, his eyes swept over every member of the delegation, his eyes flashing with determination. He cleared his throat, his voice loud and powerful: "Dear members of the delegation, today we are gathered here to witness an unprecedented sports feast. In order to enhance friendship and exchanges among countries, I propose to hold a Cuju competition."

The proposal of Prince Jingjiang was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. Although this novel idea surprised people a little, it did not cause much opposition. After all, in everyone's mind, Jingjiang State was like a towering mountain, standing tall and unshakable. Being able to compete with it, even if you lose, is a kind of honor; if you can win, it will be the supreme glory for the country.

The envoys from various countries all brought their own guards, who were all elite warriors from their own countries. They were agile and sharp-eyed, and faced the upcoming challenges without fear. However, as the host, Jingjiang State naturally had more warriors to choose from. This advantage made people from other countries feel a little unfair, and they could not help but complain privately.

However, these objections gradually melted away like spring snow after they learned that the first match was just a friendly match. People began to understand that the purpose of this match was not to win or lose, but to promote friendship and exchanges between countries. As a result, they put aside their doubts and prejudices and began to look forward to this grand sports feast.

Dali Temple Minister Lin Xiaofeng stood in the crowd, his eyes deep and firm. This official who was born as a scholar was facing an unprecedented challenge at this moment. He knew that this game was of great significance to Jingjiang State and they could not lose. However, the people in Dali Temple were all scholars, and the soldiers' fighting power was not strong. How could they compete with those battle-hardened vassal guards?
This problem kept Lin Xiaofeng awake at night. He sat alone in his study, looking at the bright moon outside the window, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness. However, he did not give up, but began to ponder and look for a solution.

Finally one day, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a brilliant idea - to select warriors from Yangqu County to serve as athletes. Yangqu County is a remote county in Jingjiang State, but the people there are all strong and brave. Lin Xiaofeng believes that as long as he can select outstanding warriors for training, they will definitely shine in the competition.

Therefore, Lin Xiaofeng immediately ordered people to go to Yangqu County to select warriors. After a hard selection and training, a Cuju team composed of warriors from Yangqu County was finally born. Although they had not received professional training, they showed amazing strength in the game with their extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts.

On the day of the competition, the sun was still as bright as gold. Members of the diplomatic corps from various countries gathered together to witness this grand sports feast. In the fierce competition, the warriors from Yangqu County won the audience's applause with their outstanding performance. They not only showed the style and strength of Jingjiang State, but also impressed people from other countries.

The sun shines on every corner of the North Gallery Stadium. The golden light is like a mysterious pattern, weaving the vitality of youth and the excitement of blood. On the court, people are everywhere, and everyone is interpreting their desire for victory in their own way.

Lin Xiaofeng stood in a corner of the court. He was wearing a long blue robe with fluttering sleeves, like a gentleman walking out of a painting. His hands rested lightly on his forehead, forming a simple canopy to block the glaring sunlight. His eyes were as bright as torches, as if they could penetrate the layers of fog and see into people's hearts.

He quietly watched everyone sweating as they trained, taking in every move. The archers from Yangqu County were agile and powerful, and their movements were smooth and natural. Their eyes were firm and sharp, as if they were treating the bull's eye as an enemy. They shot arrows at the bull's eye one after another, and each hit was accompanied by a slight tremor, as if a falcon pounced on its prey, swiftly and accurately.

There were many people running around the field, their footsteps and breathing intertwined, as if playing a vibrant movement. Their sweat-soaked clothes and determined eyes showed their desire and pursuit of victory.

At this time, Lu Sinan came over with Luo Huajun. Lu Sinan was wearing a red robe and a jade crown. He always had his signature smile on his face, as if nothing could bother him. Luo Huajun looked listless, his face was pale, his eyes were dull, and he looked as listless as an eggplant hit by frost.

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but frown when he saw Luo Huajun's appearance. He asked sternly, "Luo Huajun, what's wrong with you? Look at how you look now. How can you look like a contestant at all?"

Luo Huajun smiled bitterly and shook his head, a trace of helplessness and embarrassment appeared on his face: "Brother Lin, I haven't been sleeping well recently, and there are some things going on at home, so I am upset."

"Something happened at home? What could happen at home?" Lin Xiaofeng asked curiously. His eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see through Luo Huajun's heart.

Lu Sinan joked, "Haha, Hua Jun is no ordinary playboy. He recently found a virgin girl and made her pregnant. Now the girl is chasing him every day to ask for an explanation."

"What?" Lin Xiaofeng's eyes widened, with a look of surprise and dissatisfaction on his face. "Luo Huajun, what are you doing? You are destroying the reputation of our Yangqu County!"

Luo Huajun smiled awkwardly, touched his nose, and said awkwardly: "Brother Lin, I can't help it. We love each other, who knew she would be pregnant. I asked someone to check it out, and it's a girl. But now she's chasing me every day, and I can't even go to Zuiyue Tower."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng frowned, with a hint of anger in his eyes: "Luo Huajun, behave yourself! If you can't handle this matter well, don't even think about staying in the county!"

He pointed to the archers and other contestants who were training and said, "Look at them. Everyone is training hard for the competition. They come from more than 20 countries, and everyone represents the honor of their country. Soon, we will compete at North Corridor University. Your task is to take the lead and win the competition!"

After Luo Huajun heard this, a trace of confusion and uneasiness appeared on his face: "Competition? What?"

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then said slowly: "There are many events in the competition, including horse riding, archery, running, fighting, javelin throwing, weightlifting, etc. In short, it is an all-round contest. Xie Hongxin is not participating in this competition, so you have every opportunity to show your strength."

Luo Huajun’s eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope appeared on his face: “Really? Brother Lin, do I really have a chance to win the game?”

Lin Xiaofeng nodded, with a sly smile on his face: "Of course it's true. And you can also take this opportunity to learn the martial arts of those foreigners and make up for your weaknesses. I believe in your strength, you will definitely win the game!"

After Luo Huajun heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that his performance during this period was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, but he also understood Lin Xiaofeng's expectations and trust in him. He took a deep breath and then said firmly: "Brother Lin, don't worry. I will definitely train hard and strive to achieve good results in the competition!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng showed a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that his words had worked, and Luo Huajun had regained his fighting spirit and confidence. He patted Luo Huajun on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go and train. I believe you can do it."

Luo Huajun nodded, then turned and walked towards the training ground. His steps were firm and powerful, as if he had found his former self again. Lin Xiaofeng looked at his receding back, his heart full of expectations and confidence. He knew that this game was of great significance to them, and he believed that they could win the game and win glory for Yangqu County!
Behind the prosperity of Yangqu County, the ancient county government is like a pearl inlaid in the long river of history, solemn and majestic. Inside the county government, there are blue bricks and gray tiles, towering ancient trees, and the sunlight shines through the treetops, sprinkling on the ground in patches, forming a quiet and ancient picture.

Today, the county government office was unusually lively. Real estate tycoon Liu Bangde was urgently summoned. He walked hurriedly into the gate of the county government office, his face pale and sweat dripping on his forehead. His figure cast a long shadow in the sun, looking so lonely and confused. He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, but at this moment he had no time to care about his appearance. He just looked around anxiously, looking for the person who summoned him.

Inside the county government office, a middle-aged man in official uniform was leisurely sipping tea. He was Lin Xiaofeng, the county magistrate of Yangqu County. He was of medium build, with a warm face, but his eyes were gleaming with sharpness. When he saw Liu Bangde coming in, a smile appeared on his lips, as if everything was under control.

Liu Bangde stood in front of Lin Xiaofeng, clenching his hands until his fingertips turned white. His face was filled with fear and anxiety, and his usually shrewd eyes were now blurred and powerless. He knew that he owed the county a large sum of money, and this summons must be related to this debt. He was anxious, like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Liu Bangde's uneasy look, gently put down the teacup, smiled and said: "Boss Liu, don't be nervous. I asked you to come here today because I have good news to tell you." His voice was calm and magnetic, which made people feel relieved involuntarily.

Liu Bangde was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Lin Xiaofeng, with a hint of doubt and expectation in his eyes. He asked cautiously, "What good news?"

Lin Xiaofeng stood up with a smile, walked to the window, opened it, and a fresh air rushed into the room. He looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale the prosperity and beauty of the entire Yangqu County into his lungs. Then, he turned to Liu Bangde and said, "The follow-up project of Yangqu New City can start."

Liu Bangde was shocked when he heard this, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He stared at Lin Xiaofeng with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see something from his face. He stammered, "Is this... is this true? Can we really start work?"

Lin Xiaofeng nodded, with a proud smile on his face. He walked to Liu Bangde, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, this is true. You should use your current abilities to the best of your ability and build as many houses as possible! Moreover, we should change our strategy this time. We should not build the three-story buildings we used to build before, but six-story buildings! The area of ​​each house should be calculated as one-tenth of an acre, and the distance between buildings should be reduced. We should build as many houses as possible."

Liu Bangde was stunned after hearing this. He stared at Lin Xiaofeng with wide eyes, as if he wanted to find some flaws in his face. He couldn't believe his ears and stammered, "How...how is this possible? Who would buy such a small house? And where would the servants live?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Liu Bangde's panic, with a bit of disdain on his face. He said lightly: "People who buy houses naturally become servants. This is not small, every house can be made into a three-bedroom and one-living room layout. As for selling the house, we can exaggerate the area. If you feel that you owe the customers, you can give them some compensation, such as a parking space."

After hearing this, Liu Bangde shook his head in anguish and said, "This is an immoral thing! I have never done such a thing! People are not stupid, how could anyone buy such a small house?" His face was full of puzzlement and confusion, as if he could not accept this cruel reality.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Liu Bangde's painful expression, and his face showed a bit of displeasure. He said in a deep voice: "How can you say that? I am teaching you sales experience! If you want to gain a foothold in this industry, you must learn to adapt. If you feel that you owe the customers, you can give them some compensation. For example, give them a bicycle parking space."

Liu Bangde was even more confused after hearing this. He scratched his head and asked, "Where is the carriage space?"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at his confused expression and couldn't help laughing. He explained, "It's not a carriage space, it's a bicycle space. When the roads are repaired in the future, bicycles will become the main means of transportation for people. At that time, the bicycle space you gave away will become one of the selling points of the house."

Liu Bangde suddenly understood. He patted his head and said, "So that's it! I'm so stupid! I can't even figure out such a simple truth!"

Lin Xiaofeng looked at his sudden realization and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He continued, "It's okay to reveal something to you. Our county is planning to build a new road. Once this road is completed, Yangqu County and Kyoto will be closely connected! You are in me and I am in you! When that happens, the housing prices in Yangqu County will skyrocket! You must seize the opportunity!"

Liu Bangde was very excited after hearing this. He clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir! I will definitely seize this opportunity!" There was a determination in his eyes, as if he had already seen the prosperity of the future.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at his high morale and smiled with satisfaction. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, go get busy!"

The tense and long wait, like the darkness before dawn, shrouded the sky above the capital. However, the long-awaited moment, like the fireworks about to bloom in the sky, leaped in everyone's heart and flashed dazzling light.

･･･････
Three days ago, Lin Xiaofeng stood in the magnificent palace of the imperial court, and his figure was particularly tall. Although he knew that the plan in front of him still had many shortcomings, his firm eyes and sonorous voice seemed to have foreshadowed the dawn of victory. He was wearing a blue robe embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns, which complemented the solemn atmosphere of the court. He held the carefully drawn plan tightly in his hands, and his fingers trembled slightly, which was excitement and nervousness.

Inside the hall, there was silence. The court officials were either sitting or standing, their eyes focused on this young talent. Hong Cheng stood aside, his eyes full of trust and support for Lin Xiaofeng. He was wearing a gorgeous court dress, and his golden belt gleamed in the sun, highlighting his noble status. The representatives of the overseas missions sat on the other side of the hall, their eyes full of expectation and curiosity.

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and began to slowly present his plan. His voice was loud and powerful, and every word seemed to hit the ministers' hearts with a thousand pounds of force. He described in detail every aspect of the sports competition, from the layout of the stadium to the selection of athletes, to the rules and rewards of the competition. Every aspect was carefully designed and planned by him. His words were full of passion and enthusiasm, as if he had already seen the exciting scene on the field.

As Lin Xiaofeng spoke, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became heated. The ministers began to discuss this unprecedented plan. Hong Cheng showed a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that once this plan was implemented, it would bring endless glory and benefits to the court. Representatives of overseas missions expressed their support and expectations. They were eager to witness this grand event full of friendship and passion.

With the strong support of the court and the firm participation of overseas missions, this plan aimed at enhancing friendship was finally passed. Preparations for sports competitions and celebrations were quickly launched, and the entire capital was immersed in a busy and orderly atmosphere.

The people were full of expectations and curiosity. Although some civil servants did not care much about the friendship activities of these small countries, the excitement and passion of the celebration made them start to look forward to it. They imagined the grand scene, the fierce competition, the cheers, the applause... It seemed as if they could already hear the familiar gongs and drums and cheers echoing in their ears.

In order to create a stronger atmosphere, local newspapers began to warm up for the event. They carefully planned a series of publicity activities, using vivid texts and exquisite illustrations to show the details and wonderful moments of each event. Those articles and reports on sportsmanship made people's blood boil, as if they were already in the fierce competition.

The slogan "Higher, Faster, Stronger" has become the belief and pursuit in people's hearts. It inspires everyone to pursue their dreams and goals, to challenge their own limits and possibilities. This slogan has been sung in the streets and alleys of Beijing, and has become the symbol and sign of this era.

Businessmen saw the business opportunities brought by this large-scale event, and they rushed to the newspaper office to sign up as if they had smelled the scent of money. They valued the advertising effect and commercial value brought by this large-scale event involving many countries. (End of this chapter)
