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

They walked out of the car one after another, with expressions of excitement and curiosity on their faces.

"Are we there yet? How could it be so fast?" someone exclaimed, they felt as if the journey had ended before it even began. They looked around, seeing the bustling crowds and the magnificent train, they felt as if they were in another world!
Emperor Jingjiang also got off the train. He stood on the platform and looked around. Behind him were the magnificent palaces and towering city walls, and in front of him was this new world full of vitality and change. He took a deep breath, feeling the atmosphere of this era, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

The station in Yangqu County is quite different from the bustling Beilang University. It is a simple and spacious open-air square. The sun pours down, sprinkled on the bluestone paved ground, and layers of light appear. At this moment, the square is crowded with people, like a lively ocean. People are standing or sitting, talking or looking around, with expectations and curiosity on their faces.

In the distance, a long black shadow slowly approached, accompanied by a heavy roar, breaking the tranquility of the square. This was the train that was about to arrive, a "iron dragon" that was dozens of meters long. Its body was painted in deep black, shining coldly in the sun. The wheels rolled, the rails vibrated, and a low echo was emitted, as if announcing its powerful strength and unstoppable momentum.

When the train appeared in full view, the crowd erupted in a thunderous shout. The sound was like a surging tide, full of surprise and admiration. All officials looked back and saw the "iron dragon" lying on the railway, with extraordinary momentum. A big red hydrangea tied to the front of the train swayed gently in the wind, adding a bit of softness and festivity to the steel giant. However, even so, the huge body and roaring sound still made people feel a little scared and awed.

"No wonder Lin Xiaofeng had to sneak people on the train. This thing looks scary. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to get on it!" an official sighed. His words were a bit playful and teasing, but also revealed his awe and curiosity about trains.

Emperor Jingjiang stood in the crowd, staring at the train. His face showed surprise and admiration, as if he was shocked by the scene before him. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was drowned by the huge roar. The officials around him also showed surprise, whispering and talking to each other from time to time.

"It's amazing! I didn't know the train was this big. It's so impressive. It really opened my eyes!" Emperor Jingjiang finally exclaimed. His voice was loud and powerful, full of praise and admiration. He looked around and found that countless people had gathered here, not only his officials, but also many celebrities and merchants from Kyoto. They all gathered here for this train, looking forward to experiencing this magical means of transportation in person.

Lin Xiaofeng stood beside Emperor Jingjiang, his face filled with pride and expectation. He looked at the surprised expressions of Emperor Jingjiang and those famous scholars and merchants, and his heart was filled with satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment. He took a deep breath and explained to Emperor Jingjiang: "Your Majesty, today in addition to inviting all the officials, I have also specially invited many famous scholars and merchants from Kyoto to visit Yangqu County. Later, some of them will be invited to take a car to Kyoto."

Emperor Jingjiang nodded in agreement. He looked at the celebrities and merchants, and his heart was full of expectation and curiosity. He knew that this visit was not only to satisfy their curiosity and interest, but more importantly to show the strength and technological level of a great country.

However, at this moment, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly noticed three old men passing by with their clothes stuffed full of stuff. He frowned and asked in confusion: "Mr. Bai, Minister Li, and Minister Chen, what are you stuffing in your clothes? You are not allowed to steal things on the train!"

The three old men were stunned when they heard this, and then they glared at Lin Xiaofeng in unison. They took out bags of milk slices from their pockets, with smug expressions on their faces. Lin Xiaofeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this. He shook his head helplessly and ignored them. He knew that these three old men were gluttons and must have been attracted by the milk slices on the train. But he was too lazy to pursue it, after all, the purpose of this visit had been achieved.

Emperor Jingjiang looked at the milk slices in the hands of the three old men and couldn't help laughing. He felt that although these old men were a little older, they were as cute and innocent as children. He patted Lin Xiaofeng on the shoulder, signaling him not to take it too seriously. Then he turned and walked towards the county government office.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly followed. He knew that Emperor Jingjiang wanted to go to the county government office to see the prototype of the steam engine, so he did not stop and followed Emperor Jingjiang's steps forward. They passed through the bustling crowd and came to the gate of the county government office. There were already many people gathered there, waiting for Emperor Jingjiang to arrive. Lin Xiaofeng secretly felt lucky that he had made preparations in advance, otherwise it would definitely be even more chaotic.

When Emperor Jingjiang walked into the gate of the county government, his heart was full of anticipation and curiosity. He wanted to see what this legendary steam engine looked like and whether it could change the world as the legend said. So he quickened his pace and walked towards the place where the steam engine was.

Emperor Jingjiang slowly stepped out of the carriage. The golden sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and dappled on his gorgeous dragon robe, like a golden flame jumping, flashing with dignity and majesty. His face was firm, and there was a hint of fatigue between his brows, as if he was carrying too much responsibility and pressure. His deep eyes were as bright as stars, but unfathomable, making people dare not look directly at them.

The crowd was bustling like a turbulent ocean, and Emperor Jingjiang was like a huge ship, moving slowly forward in it. Suddenly, a figure squeezed out of the crowd and swam quickly to the side of Emperor Jingjiang like a nimble fish.

He was a man in coarse cloth, thin and small, with a cunning face. His sly eyes kept looking around, as if he was looking for something. He walked quickly to the front of Emperor Jingjiang, with a flattering smile on his face, and said in a low and respectful voice: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard all the way. Do you want to take a bath to relieve your fatigue?"

Emperor Jingjiang was slightly startled, and looked at the strange man with a sharp gaze. A trace of doubt and vigilance flashed in his eyes, and an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart. He frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Do I... do I know you?"

When the man was asked this, an embarrassed look immediately appeared on his face. He lowered his head and explained hesitantly: "Actually...actually I'm not taking a shower, I'm just looking for a place to rest." His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became almost the sound of a mosquito.

Emperor Jingjiang frowned, and became even more confused. He turned around and looked around, only to see the crowds of people around him, all of them busy with their own affairs, no one paying attention to the situation here. He couldn't help but feel alert, thinking: Who is this person? Why is he here? What is his purpose?
At this moment, a handsome figure happened to pass by. The man was wearing a green robe, with a jade belt tied around his waist, and holding a folding fan in his hand. The fan was painted with landscapes, which looked fresh and elegant. He was Lin Xiaofeng, the county magistrate of Yangqu County.

Lin Xiaofeng saw the Emperor Jingjiang and the strange man at a glance, and anger suddenly surged on his face. He quickly stepped forward and kicked the man out. The man screamed and fell to the ground, rolling on the ground in pain. When he saw that it was Lin Xiaofeng, he turned pale with fear and ran away.

The people around were stunned by this sudden scene and stopped to watch. They talked about it and speculated about what was going on. Some brave people even came forward to ask about the situation of Emperor Jingjiang.

Emperor Jingjiang nodded slightly, signaling them to leave. He turned to Lin Xiaofeng and asked in a deep voice, "Lin County Magistrate, what's going on?"

Lin Xiaofeng bowed and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, this man is a scoundrel in the city who often swindles people everywhere. He dared to offend Your Majesty today and deserves death. I have already driven him away and will send people to arrest him and punish him severely."

Emperor Jingjiang nodded, expressing his appreciation for Lin Xiaofeng's actions. He looked around at the officials and people around him, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Today's incident is just a small episode. Don't panic, just continue with your own business."

At this time, Wang Yingchao and a group of yamen runners came over. They were dressed in black official uniforms, holding swords, spears, and halberds, looking majestic. Wang Yingchao reported to Lin Xiaofeng with sweat on his forehead: "Master, the order at the scene is a bit chaotic, there are too many people, and we may not have enough manpower."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded, signaling him to rest assured. He turned his head to look at Emperor Jingjiang, then looked around at the officials and people around him, and smiled bitterly: "Hurry up and send the distinguished guest back to the county government office, don't just stand there."

So, surrounded by the crowd, Emperor Jingjiang was sent to the county government office of Yangqu County.

Under the golden sunlight, the figure of Emperor Jingjiang slowly faded away in the crowd, like a dazzling star gradually disappearing in the sky surrounded by stars. All around, the imperial guards were solemn and dignified, with flags flying and drums beating, but in this solemn atmosphere, a discordant atmosphere was quietly spreading.

Lin Xiaofeng, the county magistrate who was known for his strictness, was now livid, his eyes flashing with anger and confusion. He frowned, his voice as cold as ice: "What are you doing! I have repeatedly told you that today's ceremony must be perfect! How can you be careless just because you are in the county?"

His words fell like hailstones on the hearts of everyone present, making them shudder. Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to look directly at the majestic county magistrate. Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were like two sharp swords, shuttling back and forth among the crowd, and finally fixed on a figure - Wang Yingchao, the usually shrewd and capable assistant to the county magistrate, who seemed a little uneasy at this moment.

"Just now when His Majesty came, someone was openly soliciting prostitution. What's going on?" Lin Xiaofeng's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

Wang Yingchao's face turned pale in an instant. He coughed awkwardly and stammered, "This... this situation has indeed occurred recently. The county has repeatedly ordered them not to solicit customers openly. But there are always some people who do it secretly... Master Zhou knows more about this, you can ask him."

Lin Xiaofeng frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Zhou Zhiwei, the famous drama master in the county. Zhou Zhiwei was of medium build, with a kind face and a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. He took over the conversation and said slowly, "Master, I know a thing or two about this matter."

"You say!" Lin Xiaofeng ordered.

Zhou Zhiwei nodded slightly and spoke slowly: "Near the newly developed real estate outside our county, the women of Zuiyuelou have bought houses outside and run their own businesses. I heard that the price is fair, so for the sake of performance, Zuiyuelou sent people out to attract customers. Today, Liu Bangde and other famous wealthy businessmen are gathered here, and they want to take the opportunity to make a fortune."

Lin Xiaofeng was speechless after hearing this. He didn't expect that the buildings in Yangqu New City had attracted prostitutes not long after they were built. Moreover, this also affected the business of Zuiyuelou, an important source of income for the county. He couldn't help but feel an inexplicable irritation in his heart, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his heart.

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly in Yangqu New City, but there was a sense of oppression in the air. The trees on both sides of the street swayed in the breeze, but there seemed to be a hint of low sighs between the leaves. In the distance, the plaque of Zuiyue Tower shone brightly in the sun, but Lin Xiaofeng's heart was full of worries.

"Has Zuiyue Tower been greatly affected?" Lin Xiaofeng asked with concern.

Zhou Zhiwei smiled and looked at Luo Huajun without saying a word. Luo Huajun was tall and strong, with a rough and bold face. He was one of the famous wealthy businessmen in the county. He said carelessly: "It seems that it will have an impact on Zuiyue Tower in the short term. But in the future... I don't think it will have much impact!"

"Why do you say that?" Lin Xiaofeng asked curiously.

Luo Huajun chuckled and said incessantly: "Only young people go there for cheap prices. Are we going out to play just to buy a service? There are plenty of waiters in the building. What's important is the service people! Besides, Master Zhou has planned several new dramas, such as "Tomb Raider", "The Dongjia Travels", "The Infatuated Talented Woman", etc. There is no such thing outside..."

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but admire Zhou Zhiwei after hearing this. He remembered that he was obsessed with Zhou Zhiwei's dramas when he was young, and those wonderful plots and lifelike characters are still vivid in his mind. He didn't expect that after so many years, Master Zhou still maintains a strong creative power.

He couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. In this materialistic world, it is rare to find someone like Zhou Zhiwei who sticks to his original artistic aspirations. He silently made a decision in his heart: to support the development and growth of Zhou Zhiwei and Zuiyuelou no matter what!

At this moment, Yangqu New Town seemed to have sensed the changes in Lin Xiaofeng's heart. The sun became brighter, and the breeze became gentler. The trees on both sides of the street swayed their branches and leaves as if they were whispering some good news. In the distance, waves of melodious piano music and laughter intertwined to form a harmonious and beautiful picture...

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and felt the beautiful atmosphere. He knew that from today on, he would have to put in more effort and sweat for the development of Yangqu New City! And all this was to make this land more beautiful and more prosperous!
On the busy streets of Yangqu County, the sun shines through the sparse clouds and dapples on the ground, forming patches of golden light. The shops on both sides of the street are full of dazzling goods, and people are coming and going, making the streets very lively. However, in this hustle and bustle, a woman with a big belly is particularly eye-catching.

She was wearing a simple blue dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, like a blooming blue lotus. Her face was a little haggard, but her bright eyes were full of determination. Her name was Xiuxiu, Luo Huajun's wife, and she was also a well-known good wife and mother in Yangqu County.

Xiuxiu quietly walked to Luo Huajun. Although her steps were light, each step seemed to carry heavy emotions. She looked at Luo Huajun, a trace of grievance and confusion flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Husband, you went out to whore again? Didn't you swear in public that you would only love me for the rest of your life..."

Luo Huajun was originally immersed in the cheerful conversation with his friends, but was suddenly interrupted by these words. The smile on his face froze, and his head ached like a bucket. He turned around and looked at Xiuxiu's aggrieved and determined eyes, and a feeling of irritation and helplessness surged in his heart.

He frowned and explained impatiently: "Tsk! Why are you following me again? We were just chatting just now. This is a misunderstanding! It's not what you think!" He tried to comfort Xiuxiu with a calm tone, but his words revealed a bit of guilt and uneasiness.

After hearing this, Xiuxiu's eyes flashed with disappointment and anger. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying not to let her emotions get out of control. She looked deeply at Luo Huajun, then secretly glanced at Lin Xiaofeng next to her, bowed, and turned away with her big belly. Her back stretched out in the sun, as if carrying all her grievances and unwillingness.

Lin Xiaofeng was stunned watching all this, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Luo Huajun. He walked up, patted Luo Huajun on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I don't think you are a human being! Damn it! If you don't like her anymore, I'll let you divorce her as soon as possible!"

Luo Huajun was shocked by Lin Xiaofeng's words. He quickly defended himself, "I really like Xiuxiu! But you forced me to swear in public! I can't even take a concubine now! She is pregnant, and I can't go to a whore, what else can I do?" There was a bit of helplessness and pleading in his tone, as if he was seeking relief from Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Luo Huajun's pitiful appearance and couldn't help but feel a little shaken. He sighed and interrupted Luo Huajun: "Be careful! If you mess around again, I will make you divorce her!" Then he said to Wang Yingchao: "Call Liu Bangde over! I just need to discuss something with him."

Wang Yingchao responded and left quickly. The wind on the street blew slightly, taking away the awkward atmosphere just now. At this time, Zhou Zhiwei suddenly said, "Master, can I also go to the train to take a look?"

Lin Xiaofeng turned around and looked at Zhou Zhiwei's expectant face. He couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart. This guy who was always full of strange ideas, although he often gave him a headache, always brought him some unexpected surprises.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He thought to himself: If nothing unexpected happens, the Train Wolf series will also be born... Master Zhou's special creative talent is really unstoppable! Then let him play freely...

Soon, Wang Yingchao brought Liu Bangde back. When Liu Bangde saw Lin Xiaofeng, he smiled warmly. He saluted respectfully and then stood aside waiting for Lin Xiaofeng's instructions.

Lin Xiaofeng got straight to the point and said, "The train is now open. You are a smart person, so you should know what I want to say, right?"

Liu Bangde nodded and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, sir! I guarantee that the houses will be sold out! Let the county make a lot of money!"

However, Lin Xiaofeng showed an unhappy look on his face. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by making the county a huge profit? This is your career! The county just lent you some money! What I value is your potential and attitude towards work! Don't say you have any relationship with the county government in the future! Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Liu Bangde's face flashed with embarrassment. He laughed dryly and quickly responded, "I understand! Please rest assured, sir, I will do my best and live up to your expectations."

The sun still shines on the street, and everyone's face is coated with a layer of golden light. Lin Xiaofeng stands on the street, looking at the busy and vibrant scene ahead, with his heart full of expectations and confidence for the future. He knows that as long as everyone works together, the future of Yangqu County will be even better. In this era full of opportunities and challenges, they will also write their own legendary stories.

In the backyard of Yangqu County Government, on a wide open space, the afterglow of the setting sun is picturesque, falling on the peculiar iron thing. It is called the prototype of the steam engine by later generations. At this moment, it is like a sleeping giant, standing quietly in the gentleness of the evening. On its huge body, every piece of cold metal reflects the golden light of the setting sun, interweaving into a mysterious and ancient pattern, as if telling the secrets of thousands of years ago.

This prototype of a steam engine has a unique shape, full of the ruggedness and power of the industrial age. Its outline looms in the twilight, like a mysterious creature from ancient mythology. Around it, the carefully arranged banquet exudes an alluring aroma, and the colorful dishes are even more tempting under the sunset. The exquisite porcelain, silver tableware, and crystal wine glasses form a sharp contrast with the huge steam engine, as if telling two completely different worlds.

In this lively atmosphere, Li Dexian sat alone in a corner. He was wearing a blue shirt, a turban on his head, holding a jade-broken fan, and sipping a glass of wine leisurely. His eyes were deep and peaceful, as if he had transcended the worldly disturbances. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was enjoying this rare quiet time.

Emperor Jingjiang and his officials surrounded the prototype of the steam engine, curiously looking at this strange iron thing. They reached out their hands and gently touched the cold metal surface, feeling the cool touch from their fingertips. Although they did not fully understand the specific function of this iron thing, they could vaguely feel that this iron thing had some mysterious connection with the roaring train they were riding today.

At this moment, a figure appeared in everyone's sight. He was wearing a white robe and a tall crown, and walked in with an imposing manner. He was Lin Xiaofeng, a young man known as a genius inventor. The officials could not wait any longer, and rushed forward, asking him questions. Their faces were full of expectation and curiosity, as if Lin Xiaofeng was the key to answering all their questions.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and motioned everyone to be patient, then he took his seat gracefully. He looked around at those eager eyes, and a sense of pride surged in his heart. He knew that today would be a historic moment, and he would lead these people into a new era.

"Are you all hungry?" Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile. His voice was like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely comfortable. "During the explanation, you can eat while listening. I will answer all your questions one by one."

He paused and continued, "Today is a historic moment. You will remember this day and this moment. Because from today on, our lives will change dramatically."

Hearing this, everyone showed a serious and expectant expression. They knew that Lin Xiaofeng was not a person who liked to exaggerate. Every prediction and every innovation of his brought them great shock and change. They recalled the experience of riding the train just now, the deafening roar, the speed of the speeding, the unprecedented shocking feeling, all made them full of expectations for what Lin Xiaofeng would show next.

Emperor Jingjiang sat in the main seat, his eyes fixed on Lin Xiaofeng, his eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation. He knew in his heart that this young man would be an important helper in his future governance of the country. He looked forward to Lin Xiaofeng bringing more surprises and changes.

The officials raised their glasses to toast Lin Xiaofeng, their faces filled with joy and respect. They knew that Lin Xiaofeng was not only a genius inventor, but also a wise man with farsightedness. They looked forward to learning more knowledge and wisdom from Lin Xiaofeng.

Emperor Jingjiang and officials sat in the magnificent hall. Although the delicious food in the hall was fragrant and mouth-watering, their eyes were all focused on Lin Xiaofeng, as if he was the answer to the mystery that was about to be revealed, which made them fascinated.

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes sparkled with wisdom. He was dressed in a simple blue shirt and walked steadily to the huge steam engine. He gently stroked the engine, as if he was talking to an old friend who had been reunited after a long absence.

"My Lords, this is what I mean - the heart of the train, the steam engine." Lin Xiaofeng's voice was low and magnetic, and his words attracted everyone's attention like a magnet.

He explained: "As the name suggests, the steam engine, its power comes from the invisible and colorless water vapor. When we light the fire and heat the water to boiling, the steam generated can drive the machine to operate. This steam power is like the water of a river, endless and infinite."

His eyes sparkled, as if he was recalling the long years of research. He continued, "On that cold winter night, I sat by the stove, brewing tea and reading books of sages. The fire shone on my face, and the tea was steaming. I looked at the boiling tea, and suddenly an idea came to my mind - if I could use the power of water, what kind of energy would it produce? So, I began years of research and exploration."

His words were full of thirst for knowledge and yearning for the unknown. He talked about how he read ancient books to absorb the wisdom of the ancients; how he communicated with craftsmen to explore the principles of machines; how he tried again and again, failed again and again, and started again and again... His voice was full of persistence and perseverance, which moved everyone present.

The Emperor of Jingjiang and the officials were deeply attracted by Lin Xiaofeng's words. They seemed to see the figure thinking hard in the cold wind and felt his love and persistence for science. They began to understand Lin Xiaofeng's concept - to use the power of nature to benefit mankind.

Lin Xiaofeng continued: "This steam engine is not just a simple machine, it is also a symbol of an era. It represents mankind's understanding and utilization of natural forces, and represents our exploration and challenge of the unknown world."

His words were full of pride and confidence, as if he had seen the new era led by the steam engine coming to them. He talked about the widespread application of steam engines in industrial production, and how it would change people's lifestyles and social structures... Every word he said was full of longing and expectation for the future.

The Jingjiang Emperor and the officials were deeply moved by Lin Xiaofeng's words. They seemed to see a brand new era beckoning to them. They began to imagine the new era led by the steam engine - an era full of hope and opportunities, an era where people can communicate freely, transport quickly, and produce efficiently.

Lin Xiaofeng's voice gradually became low, but his eyes remained firm and ardent. He looked at the steam engine, as if he saw his lifelong pursuit and dream. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Today, we are standing at a new starting point. Let us work together to welcome the new era full of hope and opportunities!"

His words echoed in the hall, like a ray of dawn illuminating people's hearts. The Emperor of Jingjiang and the officials stood up and applauded and cheered. They knew that from today on, the history of Jingjiang would open a new chapter and they would become witnesses and participants of this new era.

The sunlight from the window poured into the hall and shone on Lin Xiaofeng, covering him with a layer of golden light. He stood there and smiled at everyone, as if he had seen the beautiful future coming towards them.

Deep in Jingjiang, there is an ancient and grand workshop. As the sun sets, the lights in the workshop gradually light up, dim and weak, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. Under this dim light, rows of huge mechanical arms are like sleeping beasts. Driven by steam, they slowly rise and fall, making a low and powerful roar. This noisy sound echoes in the silent night, revealing a unique industrial beauty, like the pulse of the times beating.

In the workshop, the fire and steam interweave into a strange picture. The blazing fire reflects the determined faces of the workers. Their skin is red from the fire, and sweat slides down their foreheads and drips onto the ground, making a slight sound. However, their eyes are full of determination and expectation, as if they see hope for the future in the fire and steam.

Lin Xiaofeng stood in a corner of the workshop, his eyes passing through the steam and firelight, falling on the busy workers. He had a faint smile on his face, which was a vision and confidence for the future. He took a deep breath, feeling the smell of steam and rust in the air, as if he could smell the breath of a new era.

"Our workshop and our industry will be completely renewed because of it." Lin Xiaofeng's voice echoed in the workshop. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of strength and determination. His words were full of longing and expectation for the future, as if he had seen a brand new industrial era slowly unfolding before his eyes.

He imagined that in the near future, the shuttles in the textile mills would shuttle like flowing water, and the fire in the ironworks would be brighter. The development efficiency of the mines would be doubled, and even the handicrafts in the world would be revitalized by this technology. Those jobs that originally required hard work would be easily replaced, and people's lives would become easier and more convenient.

"The goods will explode like a blowout. Jingjiang's goods will break into the overseas market with lower prices and better quality." Lin Xiaofeng continued, his voice full of confidence and pride. He seemed to have seen those ships loaded with Jingjiang's goods sailing on the sea, bringing Jingjiang's prosperity and strength to every corner of the world.

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the venue. Those who were still hesitant and skeptical were now moved by Lin Xiaofeng's words, and their faces showed excitement and excitement. They seemed to have seen the dawn of a new era rising in the east and felt the unstoppable trend coming.

However, Lin Xiaofeng did not get complacent. He understood that people's doubts and fears about new technologies were inevitable. He walked slowly, scanning the faces of every audience member with a deep gaze. He saw the expectations and uneasiness in their eyes, as well as the fear and worry deep in their hearts.

"I know," he admitted, "that people may be worried that this technology will replace human labor and cause a large number of people to lose their jobs." There was a hint of heaviness and seriousness in his words, as if he was reminding people not to ignore this issue.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became solemn. The emperor and all the officials looked up at Lin Xiaofeng, with doubts and uneasiness on their faces. They were worried that if the steam engine really replaced manpower, a large number of idle people would bring chaos and unrest to the country.

However, Lin Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head: "I don't deny that manpower will be freed up because of this. But I can guarantee with my life that there will never be more hooligans and idlers in Jingjiang because of this." His words were full of firmness and confidence, as if he was telling people that he already had a perfect solution.

He explained that with the development of industry and the application of new technologies, many new industries and jobs will emerge. The manpower released from the land will be firmly locked in these new jobs. He firmly believed that this would not change in another 500 years. His words were full of expectations and confidence for the future, allowing people to feel his firm belief and infinite longing for the new era.

Under his description, people seem to see a brand new Jingjiang rising. People there enjoy the convenience and prosperity brought by industry, and their faces are filled with happy smiles. They no longer have to work hard for a living, but can pursue their dreams and happiness with peace of mind.

Lin Xiaofeng's words made people feel unprecedented shock and emotion. They seemed to see the dawn of a new era waving at them, and felt that the unstoppable trend was pushing them towards a better future.

At this moment, the lights in the workshop seem to be brighter. The mechanical arms rise and fall under the drive of steam, making a more powerful roar. The workers seem to be more motivated, shuttling between the machines, working busy and orderly. The whole workshop seems to have become a factory full of vitality and hope, moving towards a brand new future.

In the magnificent palace, the golden and magnificent lights illuminated the officials who were lost in thought. Some of them were whispering to each other, while others were thinking with their eyes closed. Each of them was filled with anticipation and curiosity about the amazing invention that was about to be unveiled. Among this group of people, one figure was particularly eye-catching. That was Lin Xiaofeng. He stood in the center of the hall, with a determined light flashing in his eyes, like a bright star, illuminating everything around him.

Lin Xiaofeng was wearing a green robe with a jade belt around his waist. He looked elegant and heroic. His face was firm and deep, as if it contained endless wisdom and courage. At this moment, he looked at the officials who were lost in thought, and a deep feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that this technology, this astonishing invention, should have been actively embraced by everyone. However, for some ridiculous reasons, he needed to take great pains to give a perfect explanation so that people would accept and promote it. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, his voice firm and powerful: "Finally, I want to thank the two most important people in my life. Without them, there would be no railways, trains, or even steam engines."

Lin Xiaofeng first pointed to the crown prince Li Dexian who was sitting below the palace. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing a golden crown, and his brows were full of heroism. When Li Dexian heard Lin Xiaofeng's praise, he couldn't help but straighten his chest, and a glimmer of pride flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had put in too much effort and sweat for this great invention. And the eyes of the officials looking at him were full of admiration and respect. They knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had put in a lot of effort for this technology.

"The first one is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He ignored his status as a member of the royal family and devoted himself to the research and development of trains, learning scientific knowledge, and even transformed the East Palace into an experimental site." Lin Xiaofeng said affectionately. His voice was full of gratitude and respect for Li Dexian.

Then, Lin Xiaofeng turned his gaze to Emperor Jingjiang who was sitting on the dragon throne. Emperor Jingjiang was wearing a dragon robe, a golden crown on his head, and a dignified and solemn face. When he heard Lin Xiaofeng's mention, a glimmer of relief flashed in his eyes. He knew that the success of this technology was inseparable from the support of North Corridor University and the Royal Research Institute, and the establishment of these institutions was inseparable from his strong support.

"The second person I want to thank is Your Majesty." Lin Xiaofeng said respectfully, "The success of the steam engine is inseparable from the support of North Corridor University and the Royal Research Institute, and the establishment of these institutions is inseparable from the strong support of Your Majesty. Not only that, Your Majesty is also the founder of the construction of the railway. Without Your Majesty's participation and enormous pressure, the train would not have been successfully launched."

Lin Xiaofeng's words also excited Emperor Jingjiang. He held the edge of the table with his knuckles clenched white, as if he could feel the excitement and pride welling up from the depths of his heart. He seemed to see the moment of his own creation of new history, his chest heaving, tears welling up in his eyes. He knew very well what kind of prosperity and strength this technology would bring to the country.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace reached a climax. All officials stood up and applauded, expressing their support and expectations for this technology. Amid the warm applause, Emperor Jingjiang slowly stood up, walked to the steam engine and fondly stroked the cold steel. He seemed to be able to feel the infinite power contained in this machine and the earth-shaking changes it would bring to this land.

Emperor Jingjiang turned around and looked at Lin Xiaofeng affectionately. He walked up to Lin Xiaofeng, put his arm around his shoulder and said softly, "Xiaofeng, you've worked hard..." His words were full of gratitude, affirmation, and endless expectations. He knew that Lin Xiaofeng had put in so much effort and sweat for this technology, and he also knew how this technology would bring prosperity and strength to the country.

Hearing the words of Emperor Jingjiang, Lin Xiaofeng felt a warm current in his heart. He was surprised and felt extremely relieved. His father-in-law, the emperor who was in a high position, really had a sharp eye and did not make a mistake. He thought of his boss and former colleagues in his previous life. If they had such vision and foresight, he might not have fallen to such a state in that world. Or maybe, he did not marry the leader's daughter in his previous life, so he had such a rough experience.

But now everything is different. He stands at the pinnacle of this era and fights side by side with Emperor Jingjiang to create a brand new future. He knows that this technology will completely change the world and bring endless prosperity and strength to his country. At this moment, he feels extremely proud and satisfied, as if all his efforts have been rewarded.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall reached a climax. All the officials came forward to congratulate and pay tribute to Lin Xiaofeng. His face was filled with a happy smile. He knew that this moment was the most glorious moment in his life and the greatest contribution he had made to the country. He believed that in the days to come, this technology would lead the country to a more glorious future.

In the magnificent palace of Jingjiang, sunlight shines through the beautifully carved window lattices, dappling on the court. Lin Xiaofeng, the young scientist, dressed in a green shirt, is like a green bamboo in the mountain stream, tall and tough. His face has clear contours, and his eyebrows reveal a unique heroic spirit. His eyes are as deep as the stars in the night sky, shining with confidence and perseverance. Compared with his usual easy-going appearance, at this moment, he is more like a navigator who controls the future destiny.

He raised his head slightly and took a deep breath. The air seemed to be filled with a mixture of wood and metal, a unique smell of the hall. His fingers gently stroked his sleeves, as if he was looking for a kind of strength, a strength that could support him to stand in this court and show the charm of science to everyone.

"My contribution is actually insignificant." Lin Xiaofeng's voice flowed through the court like a spring, clear and firm. He looked around, and wherever his eyes fell, they were the officials wearing court robes and with different expressions. Some of their eyes were full of curiosity, some were scrutinizing, and some were pure admiration.

He continued, "The advent of the steam engine and the train should be attributed more to the students of North Corridor University. Without the unremitting efforts of these grassroots scientists, I would not have achieved anything." There was a kind of humility and respect in his voice, which made people respect this young scientist.

Emperor Jingjiang sat on the dragon throne, his eyes were like torches. He listened to Lin Xiaofeng's story quietly, with a smile of approval on his face. He stood up and walked slowly towards the prototype of the steam engine standing quietly in the center of the court. The machine seemed to be a towering mountain, standing there, exuding an indescribable majesty and power.

Emperor Jingjiang reached out his hand and gently touched the metal shell of the steam engine. The metal surface was cold and smooth, as if it was telling of a power that transcended the times. His eyes were shining with curiosity and awe, as if he was exploring a whole new world.

"Is this the power of science?" Emperor Jingjiang sighed softly. His voice was full of desire for the unknown and awe of science. He recalled the past, those cannons and hot air balloons that once shocked him, although they were incredible, they could still be understood with imagination. However, this iron lump, relying only on ordinary steam, could drive such a huge weight, which was beyond his imagination.

The officials in the court also nodded secretly. Only then did they truly understand why Lin Xiaofeng admired science so much. The productivity changes brought about by science were really earth-shaking. They seemed to see a picture of the future, where people used the power of science to create a better world.

Seeing the reactions of the Emperor of Jingjiang and the officials, Lin Xiaofeng could not help but feel proud. He knew that his efforts today had planted the seeds of hope for science in this land. He took a deep breath and continued, "The potential of science is endless. If the court can continue to invest and encourage the people to devote themselves to science, there will definitely be more miracles in the future. Not only steam, but also wind, rain, thunder and lightning in nature may be used by us in Jingjiang in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, a lot of discussion broke out in the court. Some officials agreed, believing that the power of science should not be underestimated; others expressed reservations, thinking that natural phenomena such as lightning could not be used by humans.

Emperor Jingjiang also showed a curious expression. He asked, "Can lightning really be used by humans? This is simply like the method of immortals."

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with infinite longing for the future. He explained: "Regarding the research on lightning, North Corridor University is also carrying out intensively. Although there has been no substantial progress yet, this is just my beautiful vision of the future. I believe that as long as we continue to explore and try, one day we will be able to master the power of lightning in our own hands."

After hearing this explanation, the Emperor of Jingjiang and the officials were somewhat disappointed, as if they had fallen from the clouds back to reality, but they also breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that the power of science was infinite, but it also took time and patience to explore. They believed that under the leadership of scientists like Lin Xiaofeng, Jingjiang would surely usher in a better future.

In the palace of the Jingjiang Empire, a discussion about future changes was going on. Under the carved beams and painted buildings of the palace, the lights were brilliant, reflecting everyone's face. Lin Xiaofeng stood among the crowd. He was of medium build, with a slightly immature face, but with a strong determination. His eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, shining with a desire for knowledge and expectations for the future.

He watched the expressions of the crowd change, and a trace of unspeakable regret welled up in his heart. He thought of his neglect of his studies and his shallow understanding of physics. At that time, he was just immersed in online articles and fragmented information. His understanding of steam engines was only superficial, and his knowledge of electricity was even less. Whenever he thought back to that time, he felt deeply ignorant and naive.

However, even so, he still did not give up. He used his own way and did his best to contribute to the development of the School of Physics at Beilang University. He collected those fragmented memories, picked out those "prophecies" one by one, and hung them in the corridors of the college. Although those words were short, they contained deep wisdom. "Electricity generates magnetism, magnetism generates electricity", "Left hand force, right hand electricity, palm facing magnetic field lines"... These words spread in the college. Although teachers and students still have a vague understanding of the profound meaning, they can all feel Lin Xiaofeng's love and persistence for physics.

Lin Xiaofeng stood in the palace, his eyes looking into the distance through the bustling lights. His heart was full of hope and expectation. He knew that as time went by and scientific research continued to deepen, those seemingly insurmountable problems would eventually be solved one by one. He firmly believed that under his leadership, the Jingjiang Empire would usher in a brand new era.

"I think everyone has roughly understood the introduction of steam engines and trains." Lin Xiaofeng collected his thoughts, and his voice echoed in the palace. He continued, "In the past, we in Jingjiang could be seen as strong warriors, with brute force but unable to use it effectively. The railway is like opening up our Ren and Du meridians, allowing us to use our strength more efficiently and become martial arts masters."

His words were full of passion and confidence, which moved everyone present. They seemed to see a brand new Jingjiang Empire rising, and an era full of hope and vitality coming.

Emperor Jingjiang was also touched by Lin Xiaofeng's words. He pulled Lin Xiaofeng to the banquet, patted the chair beside him and asked him to sit down. Then he personally poured him a glass of wine. This glass of wine not only contained the deep friendship between the monarch and his subjects, but also represented the recognition and reward for Lin Xiaofeng's outstanding contribution.

Lin Xiaofeng picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The aroma of the wine made him feel warm. He knew that this was a recognition of his efforts and an expectation for his future. He looked around and saw that those officials who had doubts and concerns about him now showed respect and admiration.

However, amidst the laughter and joy, some people also looked worried. One official, Chen Shuguang, even stood up and raised his glass to Lin Xiaofeng and asked, "Master Lin, I have a question for you."

Lin Xiaofeng put down his wine glass and responded, "Please go ahead." His eyes flashed with wisdom, as if telling the other party that he could give a satisfactory answer no matter what the question was.

Chen Shuguang took a deep breath and then slowly said: "Steam engines will greatly release manpower. Do you have any real evidence to support this? You know, if a large number of people walk out of the land, it will not be a trivial matter. If it causes unrest, a happy event will turn into a disaster."

This question was like a bombshell that exploded in the palace. Everyone was shocked by this question. They knew that this was a very realistic and important issue and was also a concern in the hearts of many officials.

However, Lin Xiaofeng was prepared. He replied calmly, "What I said is not groundless. Laying down and operating railways requires a large number of workers, while steelmaking, lumber, and all industries surrounding railways require a large number of people. I understand your concerns, but what is really worrying is that if the court really has the courage to build railways all over the country, the lack of manpower will become a limiting factor."

Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a breeze that blew away the doubts in everyone's hearts. They began to understand that steam engines and railways were not only a means of transportation but also a force that promoted social progress. They would bring countless job opportunities and give more people the opportunity to change their own destiny.

Chen Shuguang's brows also relaxed and he said with a smile, "I hope so." Then he raised his glass to Lin Xiaofeng to express his respect and gratitude to him.

In the court of Jingjiang City, the crowd was bustling and the voices of discussion were rising and falling. Suddenly, a short, fat, ruddy old man stroked his sparse beard, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, and broke the noise with a loud voice: "You think too much about this question! This is just the beginning. How to use the steam engine in the future is still unknown. Just talking about trains and railways, if the whole world is built with railways and all the coal in Jingjiang is mined, how many years can it burn?"

As soon as he said this, everyone turned their eyes to him. He was wearing a green robe, a gold belt around his waist, and black boots, looking solemn and majestic. His small eyes sparkled with a shrewd light, as if he had already seen through the vicissitudes of the world.

The atmosphere in the court suddenly became solemn. Yes, although the cost of running a train is extremely low, if it is used on a large scale, how terrifying will the amount of coal required be? This is indeed a question worth pondering.

At this moment, a young figure walked out from the crowd. He was tall, handsome, with black hair fluttering in the wind, looking very heroic. He was Lin Xiaofeng, a young man full of wisdom and foresight.

Lin Xiaofeng walked up to the old man, smiled and bowed, "Senior, what you said is very true, but this problem is not unsolvable." He paused and continued, "If we only worry about the depletion of coal resources, then our world will never progress. However, human history has always been constantly discovering new resources and developing many alternative energy sources."

The old man frowned when he heard this, and seemed to disagree with Lin Xiaofeng's words. But Lin Xiaofeng ignored his reaction and continued to explain his point of view: "It is theoretically possible to burn firewood, but how can firewood be as durable as coal? You can't always carry a few carriages of firewood everywhere you go, right? How can you transport goods then?"

As soon as these words came out, a lot of discussion broke out in the court. Some people nodded in agreement, while others shook their heads and sighed. But Lin Xiaofeng was not shaken by this. He continued, "But what everyone said is not completely unreasonable. The demand for coal in steam engines is indeed huge. But we can continue to explore new minerals, and at the same time we can also acquire overseas minerals at low prices. In this way, the coal problem will not be a big problem."

At this point, Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and looked at everyone in the court: "The most important thing is our understanding of the world." He pointed to the distant sky, "You can imagine that before the water wheel was invented, water was only used for drinking. But after the water wheel was invented, water flow became a source of power. Similarly, before the steam engine was invented, coal was only used as fuel for heating and iron smelting; but now, through steam, it has become a source of power."

Lin Xiaofeng's voice was sonorous and powerful, as if it had a kind of magic, which moved everyone present. He continued: "What does this show? This shows that the essence of resources is knowledge and our understanding of the world. As long as the truth is endless, the power of the train will never run out. Everyone can rest assured!"

As Lin Xiaofeng finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the court. Emperor Jingjiang also showed a satisfied smile. He knew that he had not made a mistake. Lin Xiaofeng was indeed a visionary talent. Lin Xiaofeng also felt extremely proud and satisfied. He knew that he had brought a little change to the world. Even if it was just a trivial contribution, it was enough to make him satisfied.

The night was as dark as ink, falling quietly, but the banquet hall in the palace was brightly lit and bustling. The light was like a starry sky, illuminating the entire palace, forming a sharp contrast with the sparse starlight in the night sky. In the hall, the guests were dressed in gorgeous clothes, clinking glasses, laughing and talking one after another, as if to add a bit of liveliness to the night.

In the center of the banquet hall, a young man was particularly eye-catching. He was Lin Xiaofeng, a talented scientist who had become the focus of everyone's attention today because of his successful development of the steam engine. He was wearing a cyan robe, with a white jade belt tied around his waist, and his brows revealed heroism and wisdom. His eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, shining brightly, making people dare not look directly at him.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Xiaofeng. They surrounded him like stars surrounding the moon, and asked him questions in rapid succession. Lin Xiaofeng smiled and answered them calmly. His voice was as smooth as running water, clear and powerful, and every word seemed to carry magic, making people intoxicated.

Sometimes he lowered his head in deep thought, sometimes he looked up, as if he was pondering the mysteries of science. Every movement he made was so graceful and calm, as if the whole world was under his control. His wisdom and talent shone like light, making it impossible to ignore.

Around the banquet hall, there are various precious flowers and artworks, which complement the atmosphere of the banquet and add a bit of elegance. The moonlight outside the window shines in through the window, interweaving with the indoor lights, forming a beautiful picture.

As time went by, the banquet gradually came to an end. Emperor Jingjiang was a little drunk, but his eyes were still bright and he smiled with satisfaction. He patted Lin Xiaofeng's shoulder vigorously and said in a loud voice: "Xiaofeng, you have really made a great contribution! The research and development and supervision of this steam engine have made a great contribution to our country. I have decided that from now on, the railway affairs will be led by North Corridor University and the Royal Research Institute, and the Ministry of Industry will fully assist. Others, please don't interfere."

As soon as Emperor Jingjiang finished speaking, the whole banquet hall was boiling. Officials raised their glasses to congratulate and cheered for Lin Xiaofeng's achievement. Lin Xiaofeng was also very excited. He knew that once the emperor's words were spoken, they would count. He was filled with satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment, as if he had already seen the moment of his success.

Although the Emperor Jingjiang was a little tipsy at the moment, his eyes were shining with determination. He waved his hand, as if pointing out the direction for this new era: "Northern Corridor University must expand enrollment, vigorously expand enrollment! The Ministry of Revenue must allocate money to fully support it!" Then he turned to the various departments of the Ministry of Works and said, "You must also go to Northern Corridor University to learn scientific knowledge. Look at the East University and the Royal Academy, they have made great achievements, you must catch up. You must study the design of this steam locomotive in depth. If you don't make any progress, hum, I will not be polite!"

Although the voice of Emperor Jingjiang was slightly drunk, it was full of majesty and determination. His words were like a flash of lightning, breaking the silence of the night sky and illuminating the hearts of the officials. They all expressed their full support for the construction and development of the railway and their contribution to the prosperity of the country.

After the banquet, Emperor Jingjiang stood up shakily, holding onto the table, and said in a slightly drunken voice: "It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow. Go home and prepare the train!" However, Lin Xiaofeng stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the train is waiting at the station, please take the train back."

When Emperor Jingjiang heard this, his eyes lit up and an excited smile appeared on his face. He turned to the ministers and said, "Go back by train? Haha, that's great! We all like to take the train!" The ministers' laughter echoed in the night sky, as if cheering for the arrival of this new era.

The night was deep, and the train whistle echoed in the night sky of Kyoto. Emperor Jingjiang and the officials took the train and slowly left the station. The lights in the carriage were bright, and Emperor Jingjiang's face was filled with a smile of satisfaction and joy. He looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, and his heart was full of expectations and longings for the future.

At this moment, the people of Kyoto were also attracted by this spectacular and magical new gadget. They flocked to the train station and the railway, wanting to see this magical train with their own eyes. Whenever the train passed by, they would squat beside the railway and cheer, as if cheering for the arrival of this new era.

The railway was in operation for three days and three nights, and with the vigorous publicity of the Beilang Daily and six newspapers, people started to have a craze for taking the train. After get off work and having a full meal, everyone squatted by the railway waiting for the train to come and then cheered and jumped for joy, which has become a beautiful scenery in Kyoto.

However, as trains became more popular and people's curiosity increased, some strange phenomena began to appear. Some naughty kids would deliberately put stones on the rails to test the sturdiness of the trains; and some greedy people would pick up the tempting "jerky" beside the railway without hesitation and eat it... These phenomena made people laugh and cry, but also made people more curious and pursued the things of this new era.

In order to prevent accidents, Beilang Daily quickly published several popular science articles about railways. These articles introduced the safety knowledge and precautions of railways in detail, allowing people to look at things in this new era more rationally. At the same time, the railway department has also strengthened inspections and management to ensure the safety and smooth operation of railways.

…………

In the meeting room of the cabinet, the candlelight flickered, reflecting a quiet and peaceful picture. Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the bluestone-paved courtyard, reflecting the mottled shadows of the trees. The air in the house seemed to be frozen, and only the rustling sound of turning newspapers occasionally broke the silence.

Around the round table sat several important officials of the court. Some of them held feather fans, some stroked their beards, and their eyes were focused on the Beilang Daily in their hands. Some of these officials were handsome and graceful, while others had deep wrinkles, revealing the vicissitudes of life. Their eyes revealed their deep concern for the current people's sentiments and the development of the railway.

Bai Yongyuan, the chief minister of the cabinet, took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyes. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed and said slowly: "It's really terrible. This train is still running stably without any problems. It seems that what Lin Xiaofeng said is true."

His words were full of admiration and emotion for Lin Xiaofeng, the genius inventor. Another minister beside him nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, the railway from Yangqu County to Duantianfu must be built."

This minister, Zhao Wenyuan, was a man of action in the imperial court. He always had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were full of determination. He knew that the construction of this railway would have immeasurable significance for the prosperity and stability of the country.

However, Li Qiuyan was a little hesitant. He put down the newspaper in his hand, frowned and said, "Isn't it too hasty? That would cost a million taels of silver, and it's only been a few days?"

Li Qiuyan was a cautious minister who was well aware of the country's financial situation. He knew that one million taels of silver was a huge expense for the court. Therefore, he had some reservations about the construction of this railway.

However, Bai Yongyuan shook his head and answered firmly: "Your Majesty has decided to build it, and Yangqu County has taken the lead. Once this railway is completed, there will be no difference between Duantianfu and Jingji. At that time, the flow of materials will definitely be greatly accelerated, and a large amount of military expenses will be saved."

Bai Yongyuan's words were full of confidence and expectations for the future. He believed that the construction of this railway would become a turning point in the country's development.

Another minister echoed, "Your Majesty's attitude is very clear, and no one in the court opposes this matter... Who doesn't want to see the grand sight of a railway connecting the whole country?"

The minister's words were full of longing and yearning for the future. He seemed to have seen the winding railway, crossing the mountains and rivers, connecting all corners of the motherland.

Li Qiuyan's heart was also filled with emotion. He thought of Lin Xiaofeng, a young inventor, who could actually come up with such an amazing thing, and he couldn't help but feel a sincere admiration in his heart. He thought of Lin Xiaofeng's firm eyes, persistent pursuit and selfless dedication, and a warm current surged in his heart.

However, the problem now is that although this magical thing has many benefits, the initial investment is frighteningly high. Li Qiuyan couldn't help but frowned, feeling a little worried. If it weren't for the court's lucrative sea voyage, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the courage to invest.

Another troublesome matter was how to reward Lin Xiaofeng. The court was still considering it, because Lin Xiaofeng was promoted too quickly, and every merit he had made before was worth writing about. The power in his hands and the favor of the emperor were unmatched in the court, and now he had created this shocking train, which was really difficult to deal with.

Everyone was talking about it, speculating about Lin Xiaofeng's future. However, Lin Xiaofeng himself didn't care about it. He was just thinking about how to use his inventions to better serve the country and the people. He firmly believed that only the power of science and technology could truly change the fate of a country.

At this moment, Chen Shuguang suddenly thought of something and said excitedly: "The train is so popular, so won't the land price along the railway go up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yongyuan and Li Qiuyan looked at him at the same time. Bai Yongyuan smiled slightly and said, "Did you realize it now?"

Chen Shuguang was stunned, and then his face changed. He felt something was wrong. He thought that the land had already been bought. At the beginning of the railway construction, a mysterious man bought all the land along the railway at a low price. Who is this mysterious man? Why did he do this?

Chen Shuguang's heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He thought of the fact that he had bought a lot of milk tablets from Lin Xiaofeng before, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of a terrible possibility - could that mysterious person be Lin Xiaofeng?

When he thought of this, his heart trembled. If it was really Lin Xiaofeng, then his foresight was too terrible! This young man not only had amazing talent and wisdom, but also had such a far-reaching vision and layout. What kind of person is he? Chen Shuguang's heart was filled with awe and curiosity about Lin Xiaofeng.

At this time, another minister also revealed this shocking news: "Don't think too much, it must be that Lin Xiaofeng had planned it all along! What a cunning guy!"

The sunlight shines through the cracks in the window lattices, scattering in patches in the cabinet of the Forbidden City and on the ministers in high positions. Chen Shuguang, a middle-aged man, has a resolute face and a pair of deep eyes that seem to be able to see through everything in the world. At this moment, he frowns and casually plays with two milk slices in his hands, as if he is considering some important decision.

He raised his head suddenly and threw the milk slices to Bai Yongyuan who was standing opposite him. The two slices of milk slices drew an elegant arc in the air and fell accurately into Bai Yongyuan's hands. Bai Yongyuan was slightly stunned, then raised his head and looked at Chen Shuguang, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Chen Shuguang sighed softly, his voice revealing a bit of helplessness: "The land is indeed in Lin Xiaofeng's hands, and there is no news of it being sold yet. But, have you heard? Houses are being sold outside Yangqu County recently, and I heard that the prices have risen sharply."

Bai Yongyuan looked down at the milk slice in his hand, feeling a little emotional. This milk slice was once his favorite snack in childhood, but now it has become a medium for him and Chen Shuguang to pass messages. He gently stroked the milk slice, as if looking for the long-lost innocence.

Li Qiuyan was sitting on the side, holding a newspaper in his hand, flipping through the news while listening to Chen Shuguang's words nonchalantly. He raised his head with a cynical smile on his face: "Forget it, I sent someone to inquire about it. The house is located outside Yangqu County and is very small, only about one-tenth of an acre. Who would buy such a small house?"

Chen Shuguang's eyes flashed when he heard this. He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling street outside the window, but his heart was calm. He spoke slowly, his voice full of determination: "What's the big deal about a small house? As long as the price goes up, what's the difference between buying and selling it and buying land? You just have too high standards. You are used to living in a big house, so you don't like small houses?"

Bai Yongyuan and Li Qiuyan's eyes lit up at the same time, as if Chen Shuguang's words had enlightened them. They smiled at each other, but each had his own plan in mind. Li Qiuyan picked up the newspaper again and read the news seriously, saying lightly: "I'm not interested. The land price in Yangqu County has always been frighteningly high. Only rich people can live there. Who would be interested in a small house? It's said that the price is rising, but it's just speculation."

Bai Yongyuan also put on his glasses again, laughed and said, "That's right, who would buy a small house outside the city? Let's not be stupid and give money to Lin Xiaofeng."

However, Chen Shuguang was unmoved. He knew very well that this era was undergoing earth-shaking changes, and those seemingly insignificant things often contained huge business opportunities. He turned back to the table, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng did not know that he had become the focus of discussion among the ministers in the court. He was busy in his laboratory, contributing his strength to the country's scientific and technological progress. The sunlight shone on him through the window, reflecting his young and resolute face. His eyes were full of love and pursuit of science, as if the whole world was under his control.

The laboratory was filled with all kinds of strange instruments and reagents, all of which were carefully prepared by Lin Xiaofeng to explore the mysteries of science. In the test tube in his hand, a mysterious liquid was rolling, which was the focus of his recent research - a new drug that could change the fate of mankind.

Lin Xiaofeng observed the changes in the test tube with great concentration, his heart full of expectations. He knew that once this research was successful, it would bring unprecedented benefits to mankind. However, he also knew that this road was difficult and long. He needed to put in more effort and sweat to finally realize his dream.

At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He looked up and saw a young assistant standing at the door with a document in his hand. The assistant handed him the document respectfully and whispered, "Master Lin, this is the latest news from the court."

Lin Xiaofeng took the document and gently opened it. His eyes quickly scanned the document, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. It turned out that the court had learned about his research on new drugs and had high hopes for him. This news made him feel excited and nervous, and he knew that his responsibility was even greater.

However, Lin Xiaofeng was not shaken by the news. He knew his mission and goal. He put down the documents and returned to the experiment. He knew that only by continuous efforts and exploration could he become stronger and better.

In this new era, Lin Xiaofeng is destined to become a dazzling star. His wisdom and talent will be recognized and appreciated by more people. (End of this chapter)
