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

Xiang Xiehong's voice at this moment was like a sophisticated old man narrating long-lost past events. He spoke eloquently: "Luo Huajun, although he suffered a disastrous defeat when he led the army on his first expedition after being named to the gold medal, he escaped by chance and has been homeless since then. In the end, Zhanzhuan came to Yangqu County incognito. Later, he was humiliated and taught by Xie Hongxin, and he simply lived a low-key life here. There were only a few people who knew about it, so he had to keep it secret so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the master. Among the group, only Luo Huajun has actual combat experience. Although his record is not brilliant, under the current circumstances, we really have no other better choice.”

Han Guiliang's weathered face was now like a picture of deep suspicion, with confusion and distrust deeply written in the wrinkles. His eyes widened with an unbelievable light: "The number one martial arts champion has no victories on the battlefield and is not even good at the most basic fighting? Can such a person really become the strength we rely on?" It was an earth-shattering shock, attracting everyone's attention. The sound of whispering instantly filled the entire space, casting doubts on Luo Huajun's actual ability.

Facing this wave of doubts, Xiang Xiehong's eyes did not waver, but revealed a firm and decisive light. His voice was like a hammer hitting a rock, and every word was ringing: "Regardless of whether this person is fully qualified or not, we can only rely on him now. This matter is a foregone conclusion and no further discussion is needed. Everyone acts according to their respective responsibilities. , if you encounter financial problems, you can come to me to solve them. As for me, I will go deep into the city's wealthy families and weave an invisible network of relationships. Although I am the only one to bear this hard work, it is guaranteed. An important step in the big picture.”

Before he finished speaking, Xiang Xiehong made another shocking decision: "The environment here is not suitable for staying for a long time. In order to ensure everyone's safety, I propose to purchase a painting boat as a base. Future meetings and decisions will be based on this." Do it secretly on this ship." These remarks instantly caused an uproar among the crowd, and many people were dissatisfied, thinking that Xiang Xiehong was creating a comfortable environment for himself. Han Guiliang asked directly, his voice full of confusion and dissatisfaction: "Each of us has a heavy responsibility, what easy things are you going to do?"

Xiang Xiehong raised a proud and confident smile at the corner of his mouth, and responded calmly: "I will walk among dignitaries as a judge. Most of you people lack poetry and literature and cannot socialize with the scholar-bureaucrats. I can take on such a heavy responsibility. Even if you are tired from running around and waiting for all the materials and equipment you need, I will shuttle to the banquet in the restaurant and use my social skills to pack up the delicious food and bring it back, even if it is just for a short time. The leftovers after the banquet are enough to fill everyone's stomachs and maintain their fighting strength." His words were filled with pride in his talents and deep concern for his companions, even though he seemed to be alone on the surface. Enjoying leisure time is actually working silently and busy behind the scenes for the benefit of the entire team.

Everyone was speechless after hearing Xiang Xiehong's words, and their faces were stained with shame. It was as if at that moment, they all felt the poverty and insufficiency of their cultural literacy deep in their hearts. Han Guiliang's Adam's apple rolled, as if there were thousands of words stuck in it. After hesitating for a moment, he mumbled out the doubts in his heart: "Lao Xiang, I didn't expect that you have the reputation of being a civil servant, how could you condescend to come to such a remote place in Yangqu County?" place?"

Xiang Xiehong sat as tall as a mountain, exuding an aura of pride, and responded: "The master has a unique vision and took a fancy to my talent that has not yet been revealed, so he specially invited me to work for him in Yangqu County. I think back then, On the way to Beijing to take the exam, I met him unexpectedly, and we hit it off and we had a great conversation. At that time, I made a promise that if I failed to pass the exam, I would come to Yangqu County to help him. "

After hearing this, Han Guiliang had a playful smile on his lips and joked: "So that's it. Then you didn't make the list. It seems that the master made a mistake this time. Your strength is only average." Xiang Xie After hearing these words, Hong's face suddenly darkened, his eyes burned with flames of indignation, and he retorted sternly: "False! I didn't fail the exam that year, but because I unfortunately encountered robbers on the way to Beijing. All my money was robbed, and even the four treasures of my study were stolen. Taking them all away brought my road to fame to an abrupt end.”

At this moment, a timid voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, as if squeezed out from the deepest part of his heart: "Lao Xiang, then... I was the one who robbed you back then. I'm really sorry..." This sentence was like There was a thunder on the ground, and the whole room suddenly fell into deathly silence, so quiet that it seemed like you could hear everyone's heartbeat. Xiang Xiehong was stunned when he heard the sound, and then he became furious, his eyes widened, and he jumped up like an enraged tiger and roared at the man: "You bastard! I will teach you a lesson with my own hands!" The scene was once Out of control, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Some grabbed Xiang Xiehong's arms, while others grabbed his legs and feet. The scene was chaotic.

This impromptu meeting ended hastily in the noise and disputes. Everyone left with their own thoughts and acted separately according to the established plan. However, the shadow left by that night is like a huge stone pressing on everyone's heart, heavy and impossible to ignore. It is like a wound that is difficult to heal, deeply imprinted in the collective memory of this group of people.

･････････････････････････････････
Deep in North Langfang, two gentlemen, Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian, were having a leisurely drink in the bluestone courtyard covered with traces of time. The moonlight fell like a layer of gauze covering them, glowing with a cool and calm light. Li Dexian sometimes looked up at the deep and boundless night sky, dotted with stars, as if he could penetrate the vicissitudes of the world. There was a hint of melancholy between his brows, and his low sigh echoed in the night like an unfinished tragic song.

Lin Xiaofeng listened to the plaintive voice, his face changed subtly, and there was a hint of teasing but deep concern in his eyes: "Your Highness, please don't sigh long and short. This is negative energy, which can easily make people upset and emotionally unstable." He Although his words were smiling, they contained deep worries.

"What is negative energy?" Li Dexian turned to look at Lin Xiaofeng, his eyes flashing with confusion and curiosity, like ripples on the surface of a lake, spreading out in circles.

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a while, and his words revealed a philosophical meaning: "For example, when you are criticized by His Majesty, the depression in your heart is like negative energy, quietly eroding your state of mind." After hearing this, Li Dexian fell into confusion. After a brief silence, he held the half-warm tea cup in his hand and put it down gently. Then he picked up a piece of delicate pastry, chewed it slowly, and muttered to himself vaguely: "I still don't know why I am in front of my father." "My words always seem so weak. Now when it comes to food prices, it seems very difficult to achieve the expected reduction target." His tone revealed helplessness and confusion, like a man lost in the fog. Travelers, trying to find the way forward.

Lin Xiaofeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a light but deep smile bloomed quietly on his face, but his heart was filled with ups and downs. He thought silently: "I have been in this palace for several years, and I know that the power of words can sometimes turn the world upside down. , But in the overall situation related to the national economy and people's livelihood, it is difficult to accomplish the result with one person's wisdom and strategy. What we can do now is to do our best, and as for the result, we can only leave it to fate. "

Li Dexian's face was tangled at this moment, his brows were furrowed, as if a huge stone was weighing on his heart. He mentioned the tragic scene he had witnessed recently, with unconcealable worry and heartbreak in his voice: "Late at night a few days ago, I sneaked into the imperial study room to check Reporting, I accidentally found an urgent document from Shuizhai Township in the south. The place mentioned in the article is suffering from an unprecedented food famine, and the hungry people there are competing to eat the food named Guanyin soil to satisfy their hunger. "

"Guanyin soil? The name sounds quite mysterious, but is it edible?" Li Dexian's face was full of doubts, his eyes were wide open, full of puzzlement and shock. This question was like a heavy stone thrown into the lake, stirring up excitement. Circles of ripples made the atmosphere in the whole room more solemn.

Lin Xiaofeng was about to pick up the tea cup and take a sip. Hearing Li Dexian mention the Guanyin soil, he couldn't help but pause. The delicate porcelain cup trembled slightly at his fingertips. Then he gently put the tea cup back on the table. On top of it, the whole person leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and sighed deeply like a heavy stone in the long river of time sinking into the bottom of his heart: "This so-called Guanyin soil is actually the helpless solution of the people when they encounter famine. A special soil for temporary filling.”

Li Dexian's curiosity was instantly ignited like a flame, and his eyes flashed with inquiring light: "Old Lin, have you ever tried this Guanyin soil yourself? What does it taste like?"

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes drifted leisurely to the boundless blue sky, as if he had traveled through time and space and returned to that difficult past. His voice also became low and solemn: "I think back then, when I was in trouble, I had no choice but to taste a little Guanyin soil. Although the taste was slightly rough and dry like flour, the bitterness and bitterness in it were unforgettable. I just knew that it was not a way to survive for a long time, let alone one. It’s harmful to the body.”

After listening to this, Li Dexian couldn't help but feel an impulse of curiosity and exploration. A smile filled with doubt and challenge appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Where can I find this Guanyin soil? I also want to experience it personally. ”

Lin Xiaofeng raised a sly smile slightly at the corner of his mouth, with a witty light in his eyes. He answered quite tactfully and cleverly: "The gavel, a special product of Yangqu County, is actually made of Guanyin soil. Yes. If your highness is really interested in giving it a try, I can give you a piece as a souvenir."

Hearing this, Li Dexian couldn't help but laugh loudly, with a hint of amusement and doubt in his eyebrows: "Old Lin, don't try to trick me. This Guanyin soil must be unpalatable. If it is really a delicacy, how can it wait until people are hungry? To try it to the extreme?”

Lin Xiaofeng had admiration on his face, and his words were full of praise for Li Dexian: "His Highness is indeed unique in vision, far-reaching knowledge, and has an understanding of worldly affairs and human affairs that surpasses ordinary people. In this regard, I am ashamed to say that I cannot match your thoughtfulness. "

Just as Li Dexian was deep in thought, he suddenly made an unexpected move and decisively picked up a handful of soil and put it into his mouth. In an instant, his face twisted with bitterness, and he hurriedly spat out the dust in his mouth, his words full of dissatisfaction: "Bah! Bah! Isn't this just ordinary soil? This smell, I guess, is the so-called Guanyin soil. . Eating is useless and harmful. If the disaster situation in the south is so bad that we need to eat soil to survive, it is really heartbreaking and it is hard to imagine the suffering of the people. "

When Lin Xiaofeng heard Li Dexian's question, ripples appeared in his heart, as if he saw countless people struggling in the disaster in that vast land. The prince Li Dexian in front of him had compassion and determination in his eyes, and his feelings of caring for the world and caring for the common people deeply moved him.

"Is Your Highness determined to save this food shortage that is sweeping the south?" Lin Xiaofeng asked cautiously, his voice full of temptation and expectation.

Li Dexian did not respond immediately, but showed his determination by asking rhetorically: "Other than that, what other choice do I have? Are you also indifferent to the people's suffering and unwilling to lend a helping hand?" He The tone of his voice conveyed his firm belief in rescuing the victims and his expectation for Lin Xiaofeng to advance and retreat together.

Lin Xiaofeng was touched by this sincerity and replied calmly: "If I can save it, I must do my best. Even if my power is meager, I must do my best. If I am unable to do it, I can only feel deeply regretful. After all, I am just a human being in this world." Ordinary people cannot predict how destiny will flow, but I hope that I can offer my sincerity and enthusiasm in this catastrophe in the world. "

Li Dexian's eyes became sharper, staring at Lin Xiaofeng, and asked further: "So where should we start today, and how should we take action, so that we can truly bring a glimmer of life to the people in the southern country who are suffering from hunger?" This question was like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, beating in the hearts of the two people, arousing their fighting spirit and wisdom.

Lin Xiaofeng stood up happily, straightened her back, her eyes were as bright as a torch, and her firm eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the fog of the world. He spoke sincerely: "Since His Highness cares about the people and has such compassion for heaven and earth, I will do my best to follow him. Everyone in the world praises my emperor for being as bright as the sun, and I am able to step into the court and serve as an official. This is true." This is your Majesty's unique ability to discern people, which cannot be obtained by vain flattery."

Pedestrians outside the wall heard the voice of praise and stopped to listen as if they were attracted by a magnet. The voice echoed in the air, as if even the masonry walls could not stop its spread. When Li Dexian saw this, he looked solemn and responded in a low voice: "Old Lin, you are exaggerating. It's just you and me here."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng's expression calmed down and his expression suddenly became solemn. His voice was low and powerful: "I have a plan called 'Leave Stones to Record Merits'. It is intended to carve stones and erect monuments to record every person who has served the country and the people." , The merits of those who donated food for disaster relief will be passed down to generations.”

Li Dexian's eyes instantly lit up, sparkling with curiosity and expectation. He leaned forward slightly, waiting attentively for Lin Xiaofeng's next detailed explanation. His words were full of strong interest in the new strategy: "I would like to hear the details."

Lin Xiaofeng gently put down the tea cup in his hand. The tea leaves in the cup were like undulating mountains, reflecting his thoughtful face. He slowly began to talk: "In the capital, those officials carefully selected from various places are all elites with extraordinary intelligence. If we directly recruit food from them, it will be a temporary convenience, but if we go straight to make a loan request , I’m afraid these people are trying to shirk and dodge, so it’s hard to accomplish anything. Therefore, detailed statistics of each family’s grain production should be made secretly, and a donation list should be made public to show the court’s determination to commend the good deeds.” Li Dexian heard. After saying this, he frowned and relaxed slightly, and responded suspiciously: "If this is the case, wouldn't those courtiers actively donate food in order to become famous in the world?" However, his words revealed worries about the unpredictable nature of people's hearts.

Li Dexian hesitated in his heart, with a thoughtful look on his face, and his voice echoed in the study: "But will those in the officialdom join forces in private to jointly resist such a policy strategy? This matter may not be easy. It requires careful planning to implement smoothly.”

In response to this, Lin Xiaofeng raised the corner of his mouth, and a calm smile was like a light that broke the ice. He replied calmly: "Your Highness is deeply concerned, and it is actually a challenge that must be faced in the way of governing the country. There is also a set of advanced steps for the minister's plan. This strategy requires the help of two 'special skills' to make me feel at ease in the court."

After hearing this, Li Dexian's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, like morning stars breaking through the dawn, and his curiosity was beyond words: "What incredible power can actually help us solve this problem? You can show it quickly! Is your method better than that so-called Is Xie Hongxin, who is so skillful, more capable?”

Lin Xiaofeng gently shook his head, with a hint of indifference and determination in his brows, and denied: "No, Xie Hongxin's attack focused on the use of physical martial arts, while my strength lies in the use of mental strategies."

"Psychic attack?" When Li Dexian heard this, his eyes widened with a look of astonishment on his face, as if he had heard something he had never heard before. His eyes were full of surprise and doubt, and he was locked on Lin Xiaofeng.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng's mouth quietly formed a deep and unpredictable smile. That smile was like a mirror, reflecting endless resourcefulness and cunning. He elaborated in a low and powerful manner, and every word seemed to contain profound inner strength: "Indeed, this is an attack technique at the spiritual level. The first skill I created is called 'Female Fist'. Once it is used, , even the bravest among the heroes will be able to defeat him without any effort. When he first enters this path, his power cannot be underestimated. Just like a parrot, he can compete with heroes from all over the world. As he deepens his practice, he will become more confident. His sway is enough to dominate a place, and no one dares to easily challenge his authority. At the peak level, plants, trees, bamboos and rocks can be transformed into invisible fists, reaching the highest level where no fists can win with only words. , can make the opponent feel ashamed. However, it should be noted that these punches are only effective on men, and can easily arouse strong resentment and counterattack from the opponent, so it is necessary to cooperate with Xie Hongxin's unique skills to deal with the opponent. "

After listening to Lin Xiaofeng's words, Li Dexian's eyes almost jumped out of their sockets, staring like two round pearls at night. His face was full of shock and curiosity, as if he had encountered something new and strange that he had never seen before. He couldn't help but blurt out: "Then to what extent have you achieved these 'stunt skills' now?"

Lin Xiaofeng suppressed his previously mysterious smile, and a look of indifference and humility appeared on his face. He responded calmly: "To be honest, the so-called 'stunt skills' are just a first glimpse of the door, and a parrot-like groping stage. That's all." His words revealed a calmness that was deeply rooted in merit and fame.

Li Dexian asked eagerly, his eyes fixed on Lin Xiaofeng, looking forward to his next words. Lin Xiaofeng straightened his back, relaxed his shoulders slightly, and exuded a restrained and calm aura, as if a wise man was about to reveal a secret. He slowly expanded the topic: "As for the second kind of Kung Fu, it is more mysterious and profound. It is called 'Moral Kidnapping'. This is one of the methods I am best at using. Regardless of men, women, old or young, no matter what the situation, as long as it is used skillfully, it will often It is this kind of 'moral kidnapping' that can achieve unexpected results."

Li Dexian's expression at this moment seemed to have returned to the days when he was a child studying. He was listening intently to Lin Xiaofeng's story about moral kidnapping. His bright eyes were full of desire and curiosity for new knowledge. He showed great interest in the matter of moral kidnapping. In contrast, the mention of the absurd-sounding mental attack - female boxing, and the so-called "mental damage" contained in it, was even more disturbing. It's incredible, like being in another strange world.

When talking about the newspaper, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes showed a hint of depth and helplessness. Obviously, this matter was not a secret that he was eager to reveal. The inside story of the low cost of papermaking in Yangqu County is a secret that few outsiders know. Emperor Jingjiang knew nothing about this and often misunderstood Lin Xiaofeng's extravagant and wasteful life. Originally, Lin Xiaofeng planned to wait until the time was right before making this secret public. However, the current situation is urgent and he has made countless enemies day by day. He is worried that disaster will suddenly strike one day in the future. His limited family resources are like a shield, and he will suffer serious consequences every time he uses it. The damage is irreversible, so we have to be cautious in dealing with this matter. Only by relying on His Highness to personally preside over it can we ensure that everything is foolproof and stabilize the situation from overturning.

Within the territory of Jingjiang Kingdom, movable type printing sprouted quietly like buds after spring rain, making the printing of newspapers a piece of cake. Even if it required mass production, it was not difficult. Although the number of literati in the capital was limited and the social circle was small and closed, the publication of thousands of newspapers was enough to satisfy word of mouth among the people. However, Lin Xiaofeng always had a layer of worry in his heart. He knew that once the newspaper was officially launched, its influence would be as unstoppable as a flood breaking a dike. If it was not handled carefully, it would most likely be taken over by the court and even banned. If you give up halfway at that time, all your previous hard work will be in vain. Therefore, it is undoubtedly a more stable and wise choice to establish this newspaper with the solid backing of Prince Li Dexian.

Li Dexian still had doubts about this new thing. He frowned and his eyes flashed with confusion: "What kind of newspaper are you talking about?" Lin Xiaofeng was not impatient and patiently explained to the young prince: " A newspaper is like a private version of the Dibao. It carries the big and small events that happen every day. In order to maximize its effectiveness, we plan to publish it in the form of a daily newspaper to ensure that the content is updated every day.”

After hearing this, Li Dexian was still puzzled and asked again: "What is the deep meaning behind this? The number of literati in Beijing is very small, and the world's affairs will soon spread to the streets, not to mention the need to write new articles every day How can there be so many topics for writing in manuscripts?" There was a hint of questioning and exploration in his voice, as if he was looking for the meaning hidden behind the paper.

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth, and the light of a wise man shone in his eyes. He responded leisurely: "The wisdom and strategies contained in this are really rich and diverse. Just imagine, Your Highness, people in the world often have little interest in daily government affairs. On the contrary, Those anecdotes and mysteries such as the exact amount of gold and silver in His Majesty's internal funds are almost unstoppable to everyone. By analogy, the financial situation behind the officials of the imperial court is also the focus of common people's talk after dinner. Bizarre stories such as the six-winged monster chicken and the pig that gave birth to a demon make people want to find out and find it difficult to let go. Therefore, the charm of newspapers lies in its ability to convey information and satisfy people's curiosity, thus gaining popularity among the people.

In the early stage, we can recruit some scholars who are familiar with poetry and books and are good at collecting and writing to go around the streets to capture all social events and update news reports every day; at the same time, we can invite literati and poets to submit excellent poems to enhance the cultural taste of the newspaper. For long-term planning, you can use newspapers as a medium to charge merchants for advertising, and even sell interview opportunities to talented people to help them become famous. As a result, the economic benefits of newspaper operations will be immeasurable. "

The sunlight was dappled in the courtyard, and Lin Xiaofeng was pacing back and forth, his thoughts swirling, as if he was measuring the infinite possibilities of the newspaper's future development with his footsteps. Li Dexian followed closely and asked with piercing eyes: "I understand what you said, but how do you use newspapers to cleverly kidnap the officials morally and get them to donate food?"

Lin Xiaofeng did not show the slightest panic because of Li Dexian's question. He spoke calmly and calmly, as if a wise man was teaching his disciples how to govern the country: "Your Highness, there is no need to rush, just listen to my detailed analysis." Newspaper The vitality and value of newspapers lies in the authenticity and timeliness of the information they carry, which can establish a strong influence on public opinion among the people. If there is any false news in the capital, it will be easily seen through by the public. Our credibility will be severely damaged. Therefore, we must form a team dedicated to news investigation to rigorously verify every piece of information to be published to ensure that it is correct before publication. As for excellent poems, they must also pass the review of a professional jury. After strict screening and scoring, only those works of high quality can be published in the newspaper.

When we have accumulated enough reputation and trust through this method, we can announce the amount of food stored by each family of court officials in a timely manner and conduct a fair ranking. Next, with the help of newspapers, a powerful tool of public opinion, we can exert moral pressure and encourage them to actively donate food. Regardless of the amount of donation, we will publicize the recognition in newspapers to stimulate their sense of social responsibility and honor. If we encounter stingy people who are unwilling to donate generously, then we can use articles to implicitly praise and satirize them. We can even arrange newspaper readers in busy streets and alleys to read relevant reports repeatedly, so that these people can express their gratitude. People's behavior is invisible in the public eye. How can they still sit back and ignore the pressure of public opinion? "

Hearing this, Li Dexian suddenly turned pale in astonishment, and his eyes flashed with confusion. He raised a key question: "But how do we know the amount of grain stored by those officials? How could they take the initiative to tell their secrets? us?"

Lin Xiaofeng's face was as cold as iron, and his words were filled with a decisive and fierce momentum, like an undercurrent under the cold winter ice: "When the power of newspapers sweeps across the earth like a tide, the influence of their words is enough to overturn the world, just like Wrapped in yellow mud, it is difficult to tell the authenticity of those who keep claiming that they are serving the country and the people. When improper regulation of food prices leads to disasters, I vow to uncover their hypocritical masks and let the world see them clearly. True colors! If this doesn’t happen, I, Lin, will have no face to face my ancestors, and I will be ashamed of the name of the Lin family in this life!" At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng was deeply entangled in his heart, and he knew that this move might He will have an insatiable feud with all the officials in the court, and his future official career may be even more thorny. However, he did not back down even half a step because of this. Instead, he chose to face the reality and frankly analyzed it to Li Dexian: "This move is undoubtedly a challenge to the world's taboos. Whether it is put into practice depends on your decision, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Li Dexian's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement. He responded firmly and confidently: "Do it! As the prince, what do you have to be afraid of? You can give it a go and give it a try, so there is no need to worry! As for the matter, Do you have any unique ideas for the name of this newspaper?" Lin Xiaofeng pondered for a moment and suggested: "Initially, the name of this newspaper is 'Reuters Daily'." But Li Dexian frowned slightly after hearing this. In his opinion, the name was neither easy to remember nor attractive enough.

At this moment, a flash of light seemed to flash between Li Dexian's eyebrows. His expression changed from initial confusion to enlightenment, and his eyes shone with the light of wisdom. He straightened his body and suggested: "I suddenly thought of a name. Why not just name this newspaper 'Prince Daily'? This name is concise and intuitive, and can clearly show its relationship with the imperial court, eliminating many things." Complicated explanations and communication costs, Lao Lin, what do you think?”

Facing Li Dexian's initiative and careful consideration, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, which was a mixture of deep admiration and gratification for his colleagues. He nodded slightly, with a knowing smile on his face, and responded: "Since His Highness is willing to personally take charge and take on this important task, I firmly believe that there is no more suitable candidate. From now on, you will be the president of this newspaper. And I am willing to play the role of editor-in-chief and help. Time waits for no one. We must act as soon as possible, recruit talents, prepare everything as soon as possible, and jointly draw and realize this grand blueprint." As the words came to light, the two of them said. Where the eyes met, a warm flame seemed to burn. It was a spark of confidence and expectation for the future. It spread quietly in the quiet air, indicating that a newspaper industry was about to set off a magnificent event in the capital and even the entire Jingjiang Kingdom. Reform storm.

･･････････････････････････
Lin Xiaofeng acted decisively and resolutely, like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves. In just three days, he dispatched all the mountains of uncut toilet paper from Yangqu County to the capital. At the same time, he carefully planned and quickly completed the establishment of a team of reporters and newsboys. The temporary newspaper office was located in a corner next to the Si Yamen in North Langfang. Although the plaque has not yet been officially hung, the interior has been Various work processes were started in full swing. The reason why we chose this place is a deliberate move. Once an emergency occurs, we can communicate and respond in a timely manner and adjust our strategies quickly.

Most of the reporters who were recruited came from the group of scholars who gathered in Beiling Square to comment on books and plays and make friends through literature. Among them were many talented young people like Yang Baixi. However, some scholars inevitably have doubts about the decision to join the newspaper industry, and there are many private discussions. In this regard, Lin Xiaofeng was not eager to defend, but with a calm smile on his face, he retorted sharply but humorously: "How can I get fame and fortune if I indulge in listening to plays and reading books every day? Nowadays, I have a job package. The opportunity of distribution is here, you can understand the world and earn the necessities of life, why not? Besides, I have not charged you any fees, it is already the most benevolent, you should be satisfied. "

In this simple but vibrant newspaper office, every corner is filled with busy atmosphere, and everyone seems to feel that a new power is quietly awakening. Lin Xiaofeng sat in person, inspecting the newspaper samples in his hands while directing and scheduling various tasks. The determination and wisdom in his eyes were like a beacon that illuminated the way forward for this group of new reporters and newsboys. They began to go deep into the people and dig up news. Although the road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges, everyone embraced this unprecedented cultural change with longing and expectations for the future.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng was alone in the quiet and solemn building of Jingjiang New Newspaper. Especially in the space on the second floor, the original emptiness and silence had been completely changed. This floor is now divided into rows of closely connected grids, like a carefully laid out chess game. Each grid is a small stronghold on the news battlefield. On the main wall, a huge banner is eye-catching. On it are written the famous four lines of Hengqu's teachings by Zhang Zai, a great scholar of the Northern Song Dynasty, in vigorous and powerful strokes. Each word seems to contain thousands of years of philosophy and charm. A stroke hits the heart like a knife, making the whole room filled with a rich cultural heritage.

Some modern slogans are cleverly inlaid around the walls. These slogans not only inherit the traditional cultural spirit, but also annotate the work concepts of the new era. For example, "Wolf team, everyone is united as one", showing a spirit of unity, hard work, and fearless advancement; another example is "If work is fun, life becomes enjoyment; if work is responsibilities, life will be like hard labor." This sentence is in The contrast between light and dark reveals the differences in life experience brought about by people's different attitudes towards work; and the phrase "life is distinguished by work, and work is joyful by diligence" is like a hymn, praising the value of labor and hard work. The glory and joy it brings; finally, the aphorism "Be content in life, know not enough in study, and be dissatisfied in work" not only embodies the indifferent and open-minded attitude towards life, but also conveys the never-satisfied enterprising spirit in the pursuit of career. Heart. These slogans surround everyone who works here like a motto, silently inspiring them to forge ahead in their respective positions and jointly build the soul and strength of this news palace.

Lin Xiaofeng looked around. Everywhere he looked was the interior of the newly renovated newspaper office. There was a trace of self-mockery and relief in his deep eyes. He raised the corners of his mouth and whispered lightly: "Looking at it today, I have finally become what I once was." The most despised kind of person, but the joy and excitement brought by this kind of investment and dedication are unprecedented experiences in my life." The scholars around them were all dazzled, and they looked at the wall curiously.
