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

He took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Brother Li is right. There are indeed great risks in running a newspaper privately. However, we cannot give up trying just because we are afraid of the risks. We can start on a small scale and gradually expand our influence while actively striving for legal identity and status."

Lin Xiaofeng's words warmed everyone's hearts and inspired everyone's fighting spirit. Some people expressed their support for his proposal and launched a heated discussion. Zhou Xuemao also actively participated in it. Although his ideas were a bit radical, he also brought new ideas and directions to the organization.

During the discussion, Lin Xiaofeng kept observing everyone's performance and reactions, secretly evaluating their abilities and potential. He believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to achieve their goals!

As the night deepened, they still sat in the yard and enthusiastically discussed their future plans. The bright moonlight shone on them, as if they were covered with a layer of silver battle robe. Lin Xiaofeng looked at the scholars around him, who were either passionate, thoughtful, or enthusiastic... He was full of confidence and expectation. The road ahead was still long, but as long as they moved forward hand in hand and worked together, they would surely be able to create a brilliant future for themselves!
In the night, the courtyard was surrounded by silence, with only the sound of their discussion echoing in the air. Zhou Xuemao, a scholar who was always known for his confidence and decisiveness, also seemed a little confused under the moonlight at this moment. He was convinced that his plan was perfect, but Li Dexian's words were like a cold water on his head, making him start to re-examine his plan.

His eyes slowly swept over every familiar face in the courtyard. Seeing them looking at each other in bewilderment, Zhou Xuemao felt mixed emotions. He thought his plan was perfect, and as long as he followed the established steps, everything would go as he wished. However, Li Dexian's reminder made him realize the cruelty of reality - he had never considered the need for the emperor's personal approval.

"Brother, how do you know that applying for a newspaper requires permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Zhou Xuemao couldn't help but ask Li Dexian about the doubts in his heart, with a bit of unwillingness and inquiry in his tone.

Li Dexian looked back at him calmly, "I've heard people in the newspaper talk about it before, and think about it, how could the court easily delegate power to a newspaper that can influence people's hearts? I'm afraid this path won't work." His words were like another wave of cold water poured on Zhou Xuemao's heart, completely sobering him up from his previous self-confidence.

Zhou Xuemao opened his mouth and was about to retort, but was interrupted by Lin Xiaofeng's gentle but firm voice, "If this way doesn't work, then we'll find another way." Lin Xiaofeng looked around and continued, "We can't let the Jinyiwei raid our home before we take action. If we all go to jail, what else can we talk about? So, listen to my plan first."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Lin Xiaofeng as if they had found a backbone, hoping that he could bring a turnaround. Zhou Xuemao also calmed down his emotions during this brief silence, ready to listen to Lin Xiaofeng's plan.

Lin Xiaofeng straightened his clothes and asked solemnly, "Before we take action, I want to ask everyone, the court now advocates science, but who here knows what science is? Or, what exactly is taught at Beilang University?"

The yard fell into silence again, and no one answered. In their eyes, the so-called scientific knowledge was just the vulgar knowledge of craftsmen, and it was not worth studying in depth for scholars like them. However, Lin Xiaofeng's next words made them realize how narrow their understanding of the world was.

"The reason why the court advocates science is that it can bring real progress and development. But what about us? We are still here, complacent and sticking to the old ways." Lin Xiaofeng's voice echoed in the night sky, "If we don't keep up with the pace of the times, don't understand and master new knowledge and new skills, then we will eventually be eliminated by this era!"

Although Zhou Xuemao was unwilling, he had to admit that Lin Xiaofeng was right. "Brother Lin, why should we delve into these evil things? We just need to criticize Jingjiang and ban these messed up things." He tried to refute Lin Xiaofeng in his own way. "Apart from anything else, the resources of the court are limited. Adding more doctorates in science will definitely encroach on the resources of us scholars."

"Could it be that," he paused, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "what Beilang University teaches is more powerful than our Four Books and Five Classics?"

Facing Zhou Xuemao's doubts and challenges, Lin Xiaofeng did not refute him directly, but smiled and said: "You are right." He deliberately paused for a moment so that everyone could concentrate on his next words, "But what I want to say is, if we reason with the court and debate the Four Books and Five Classics, can we really have the upper hand? We may not be as good as the officials in the court when talking about the Four Books and Five Classics. But when it comes to science, the officials in the court are all advocating it, but we know nothing about it."

Li Dexian asked curiously, "What do you mean?" He was obviously very interested in Lin Xiaofeng's proposal. Others also pricked up their ears and waited for Lin Xiaofeng's next words.

"So I think," Lin Xiaofeng looked around and continued, "We first need to understand science, and even have a deep understanding of it, and then we can criticize and refute it in a targeted manner. Now that things haven't gotten out of hand, and not many people outside know about it, this is a good time for us to learn new knowledge." He paused and said, "I plan to go to Beilang University to invite some teachers to explain scientific knowledge to us. Everyone should listen carefully, study hard, and be sure to find out the loopholes in science and its harm to Jingjiang!" Lin Xiaofeng's words made everyone fall into deep thought. They began to realize how narrow and one-sided their previous ideas were. If they want to keep up with the pace of the times, they must put aside their past prejudices and biases to understand and accept new things. "Otherwise, we have nothing to prove and it will be difficult to convince others to believe in our views." Lin Xiaofeng continued, "This is also in line with the rigorous and realistic attitude of our scholars and ancestors when doing academic research."

"I believe that with your talents and knowledge, you will soon be able to master those superficial scientific knowledge. Then what we say will be reasonable and convincing!" Seeing that everyone was lost in thought, Lin Xiaofeng knew that his words had worked, so he continued: "I see that many of you are students who came from other places to take the exam. Now you may not have much money, so you can eat and live here. I will cover all the expenses. Please don't be polite."

Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a spring breeze, bringing warmth and strength, deeply touching everyone present. They not only felt Lin Xiaofeng's sincerity, but also found resonance in his words. Yes, the power of science is endless, and only by continuous learning can we keep up with the pace of this era. Therefore, everyone expressed their determination to study science well and be fully prepared for the next action.

"Then..." Lin Xiaofeng looked around and was pleased to see everyone's enthusiasm. "Since no one has any objection, let's not waste time. Now, let's vote by raising hands. Those who oppose me, please raise your hands!" He said loudly, his voice revealing his unquestionable determination.

There was silence at the scene, and no one raised their hands. Lin Xiaofeng's proposal was unanimously supported by everyone.

An hour later, the meeting ended successfully. Everyone sat together, enjoying delicious food and talking about their ideals and ambitions for the future. The whole yard was filled with an unprecedented atmosphere of unity and struggle, as if everyone was infected by this enthusiasm, full of confidence and expectations. They seemed to have seen the dawn of victory, shining on them not far ahead.

After a hearty meal, everyone was led by the servants to rest, recuperate, and prepare for the next challenge. Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian left separately and went to the Dali Temple to meet up.

As soon as they met, Li Dexian couldn't wait to say, "Lao Lin, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly today. They actually agreed to your proposal. Are you really going to ask someone to teach them tomorrow?"

"Of course." Lin Xiaofeng responded with a smile, "They ate my food, and what I said made sense. They were unsure and knew nothing about North Corridor University. So, with a little guidance, they would naturally agree with my suggestion. I will ask someone to teach them tomorrow and brainwash them so that they understand the importance of science."

Li Dexian nodded and agreed: "Well... the core of the problem is information asymmetry. Let them understand science and learn science, which can resolve some of the contradictions and better promote our plan."

"That's right." Lin Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "In fact, what I said today is from the bottom of my heart. The times have changed, and we can no longer be complacent and stick to the old ways like we did in the past. We need to keep up with the times, understand new things, and accept new things. Only in this way can we better serve the court and benefit the people."

Li Dexian exclaimed: "Old Lin, you are so far-sighted! I support you!" The two smiled at each other, as if they had already seen a beautiful blueprint for the future.

However, they did not know that at this moment, Emperor Jingjiang was worried about Sun Xiaochuan. When Emperor Jingjiang read the contents of the report, his temples throbbed. Sun Xiaochuan's crimes were outrageous. As an emperor, he knew all the affairs of the capital. Recently, a great villain appeared in the capital, doing all kinds of evil, which made him furious.

Wang Jingwen stood aside, frightened like a cicada. He whispered, "The military department reported that they have sent more people to search for Sun Xiaochuan, and they should be able to catch him soon." However, Emperor Jingjiang angrily threw the report. He was already very annoyed, and now he was even more furious. This man did not seek money or sex, but took pleasure in doing bad things, which made everyone in the capital feel scared. He immediately ordered: "Catch Sun Xiaochuan as soon as possible, take him to Caishikou and punish him severely in public to appease the people!"

As night fell, the lights in the yard gradually went out, and the whole house fell into silence. However, in Lin Xiaofeng's room, a bright light was still on. He was making final preparations for inviting a teacher tomorrow, with a focused and serious look. He knew that his plan had just begun, and this plan would change the future of the entire court and even the entire Jingjiang! He took a deep breath, with a determined light in his eyes. No matter how many difficulties and challenges there were ahead, he would move forward courageously and fearlessly.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards have important matters to report." The attendant's voice rang out outside the imperial study, breaking the silence inside.

"Come in." Emperor Jingjiang put down the ancient book in his hand and sat on the carved chair in the imperial study, looking majestic without being angry. The breeze outside the window blew gently, bringing wisps of book fragrance, lingering in the room, adding a bit of elegance to this solemn study.

The attendant cautiously pushed open the door, walked into the study, and respectfully presented a report. "Your Majesty, this is the secret report that the Royal Guards just sent over. Please have a look at it."

Emperor Jingjiang took the report and read it carefully. The report recorded in detail how Jianye Hou Lin Xiaofeng properly dealt with those stubborn Confucian scholars and rented a spacious house in the city as their settlement. Seeing these contents, a trace of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of Emperor Jingjiang. Jianye Hou was able to solve these difficult problems in such a short time, which showed his extraordinary ability.

"Marquis Jianye is indeed a capable assistant." Emperor Jingjiang whispered to himself with a gratified smile on his face, "With Xiaofeng here, the subsequent matters should be able to be resolved smoothly."

He put down the report and looked up at the attendant, "Pass the order down, have the Royal Guards keep a close eye on the movements of Marquis Jianye and report to me at any time."

"Yes, sir!" the servant responded and retreated.

Time flies, and it is already the next morning. The sun shines through the screen window, dappled in the mansion that Lin Xiaofeng carefully rented for the Confucian scholars. After a night of good sleep, the Confucian scholars are all refreshed and energetic. Thinking back to the full meal and good sleep yesterday, they are grateful; and thinking of the Xingsheng Society founded yesterday, they are full of expectations.

At this moment, the scholars gathered in the courtyard, standing or sitting, chatting and laughing. They discussed yesterday's experiences and imagined a better life in the future. The sun shone on their faces, reflecting their inner joy and excitement.

In the house next door, Lin Xiaofeng was busy arranging tasks for the teachers of Beilang University. He knew the importance of this teaching task, so he instructed every teacher in detail. Li Dexian stood quietly by, listening to Lin Xiaofeng's arrangements and recording every detail.

"The mission for calling you all here today is very clear." Lin Xiaofeng looked around at the teachers present and said in a firm and powerful voice, "The Confucian scholars in the next courtyard have a deep misunderstanding of our Beilang University. Your mission is to use your knowledge and enthusiasm to inspire their love and desire for science. Let them understand that science is not a scourge, but an important force to promote social progress."

He paused and continued, "Everyone here is an outstanding textbook writer and the backbone of our Beilang University. I believe you will be able to complete this task excellently and train more talents for the court."

The teachers nodded in agreement. They knew that these Confucian scholars were lacking knowledge in the complex field of science, which was like a desert. This was the stage for elite teachers like them to show their talents and charm.

"During the explanation, please keep the teaching method simple and interesting, and use experiments to attract their attention." Lin Xiaofeng stood in front of the crowd, his eyes flashing with expectation and rigor. His words were like a guide, lighting the way forward for the teachers. "After today's class, I will guide them to choose their own professional direction. In the subsequent lectures, you must subtly guide them to develop a sense of competition, encourage each other, and even challenge each other. Everyone, do you understand?"

"I understand!" The elite teachers held their heads high with their chests puffed out, their eyes burning with passion, and their voices were loud, echoing in the room like spring thunder.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction. He swept his eyes through the crowd and finally landed on Hu Yimo. "Xiaohu, find a suitable opportunity to bring people in later."

"Yes, sir." Hu Yimo responded respectfully, his face full of determination and loyalty.

After arranging the tasks, Lin Xiaofeng strode out of the room and came to the courtyard next door. At this moment, there were many more Confucian scholars in the courtyard. They were standing or sitting, chatting in groups of three or five. Seeing Lin Xiaofeng coming, they greeted him enthusiastically, their faces filled with desire for knowledge and expectations for the future.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled and nodded in response, his voice gentle but powerful: "Thank you all for gathering here. I have something important to tell you." As soon as he finished speaking, several people rushed into the house to pass on the message. Soon, everyone gathered together, their eyes focused on Lin Xiaofeng, as if he was the guide who could lead them to the palace of knowledge.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Xiaofeng announced loudly: "Do you remember the proposal from yesterday?"

"Remember!" Everyone answered in unison, their voices echoing in the courtyard, deafening like spring thunder.

"Very good." Lin Xiaofeng continued, his face filled with a satisfied smile, "Yesterday, I hired teachers from Beilang University with a large sum of money, and they are now nearby." At this point, he paused for a moment, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, observing their reactions. Seeing that no one raised any objections, he continued, "Although not everyone agreed with this proposal yesterday, since it has been agreed by the majority, in order to ensure the unity of our Xingsheng Society, I hope everyone can do their best to cooperate."

"The sooner we learn the courses of Beilang University, the sooner we can petition the court!" Lin Xiaofeng's words revealed determination and expectation. His words were like a ray of dawn, illuminating the way forward for everyone. He paused again, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, as if looking for dissenters. However, no one raised their hands to object, which made him very satisfied.

So, he turned to the door and said loudly: "Then please come in, gentlemen from North Corridor University." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at the door, looking forward to the arrival of the rumored college scientists. A group of figures appeared at the door in the eager eyes of everyone. After waiting for a while, Hu Yimo led the teachers in with their heads held high. Their faces were filled with confidence and pride, as if they were winners. The various teaching aids in the teachers' hands looked even more mysterious and noble, making people look forward to the courses they were about to bring.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction. He knew that these teachers were not only knowledgeable, but also had unique teaching methods, and would definitely lead these Confucian scholars to a broader world. So, he pointed at the crowd and said to the teachers: "These are your future students. Let's welcome the gentlemen from North Corridor University with applause."

As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause and cheers rang out in the courtyard, as if celebrating a grand festival. Under the gaze of everyone, Hu Yimo took a deep breath and led the way in bowing to everyone. His voice was loud and clear, echoing in the courtyard, making people feel an inexplicable shock and majesty: "Thank you for the invitation! We just got off the carriage from Dongda. I am Hu Yimo, with a college degree. I'm sorry for being late."

Although they had no objection to Lin Xiaofeng's proposal to invite people to teach, when the people from Beilang University actually stood in front of them, these Confucian scholars still felt a little unhappy and resistant. They looked at these young and arrogant college scientists and couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts: Can these people really teach them?

However, when Lin Xiaofeng introduced Hu Yimo's monthly income, everyone showed surprise and envy. They whispered and discussed this matter, as if they had discovered the door to a new world. Hu Yimo also lowered his head shyly, as if he was embarrassed to accept such praise.

"Teacher Mo, is this true?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Hu Yimo raised his head and smiled, "Not worth mentioning... Not worth mentioning! Rumor has it that this... This is a conflict of interest, no more words!" His voice revealed a hint of pride and pride, as if showing everyone his success and glory. Although the scholars were a little unhappy, they had to admit that the knowledge and income of these college scientists did make them envious and jealous. However, they also knew that only through continuous learning and hard work could they narrow the gap with these people. So, they secretly made up their minds to study these courses well and strive to become people like Hu Yimo as soon as possible.

People are snobbish, and this is vividly reflected in a group of scholars at Beilang University. Although they always talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom, they are still worldly in their hearts. These scholars are always proud of themselves, as if they are models of morality. However, in front of money, their attitudes have subtly changed.

That day, when Lin Xiaofeng proposed an astonishing figure - a monthly income of 100 taels, the looks of these scholars changed. Their originally upright postures began to become a little stiff, and an indescribable anxiety and uneasiness surged in their hearts. Some people couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of world is this!? College graduates can actually make so much money..."

Lin Xiaofeng keenly caught this change. He smiled slightly and secretly rejoiced in his heart. His plan was already half successful! Next, as long as these college scientists perform well, I believe these stubborn Confucian scholars will soon change their views on them.

So he said loudly: "Lin Xiaofeng will not say much, now please let Teacher Mo share his knowledge, experience and insights..." As Teacher Mo came on stage, a new scientific trend began to spread on this ancient land.

Science is a strange and novel concept for students at Beilang University. They have been reading the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and their understanding of nature has always been shrouded in the exploration of human nature. However, when Teacher Hu Yimo walked into the classroom and started his first class, the students' attitudes began to change subtly.

Teacher Hu started by talking about the rising and setting of the sun, and then talked about the various forces in the world. His explanation was like a spring breeze, moistening the dry hearts of the students. The physics teacher took out a pulley set and let the students experience the principle of saving effort. Although the students who usually hide in their study rooms know nothing about this, their curiosity was completely ignited and they stepped forward to try it with great interest.

The appearance of the chemistry teachers opened the students' eyes. They showed a bunch of experimental glassware and various wonderful scenes of chemical reactions. Acid-base experiments, combustion tests, mineral analysis... Heating, grinding, dissolving and other methods were presented one by one, and the students also participated in them in person. After only two classes, their curiosity has been greatly mobilized.

As the course progressed, students began to immerse themselves in this new trend of science. They found that this knowledge did not conflict with the teachings of the sages, but complemented each other. Their hearts began to be attracted by this new trend and they began to actively explore this unknown world.

After a day, when the selection of major subjects was over, most people felt that they had not finished yet. They began to look forward to the next class and expect more knowledge to flow into their minds. Lin Xiaofeng was also quite surprised. He originally thought that these students would be more interested in majors that could make money quickly, but he did not expect that they were so interested in biology.

When the microscope was shown, their curiosity reached a climax, and many people rushed forward to see what animal and plant cells looked like. After taking turns to observe, someone asked the eternal question: "What does the liquid that 'one drop is equivalent to ten drops' look like under a microscope?" This question immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In order to achieve excellent teaching results, Lin Xiaofeng immediately sent people to urgently look for this wonderful liquid. Fortunately, when the owner rented this big house, he kept the big black dog that guarded the house, and it was an energetic male dog! This big black dog made a "huge sacrifice" for teaching, and the dog juice was squeezed out for teaching experiments.

When the students saw the tadpoles swimming in the indescribable liquid with blood streaks, they were shocked and began to whisper and speculate enthusiastically. Why were there only so few puppies? Countless scholars began to think wildly and discuss, with all kinds of fantastic ideas emerging one after another. Lin Xiaofeng was sweating profusely when he heard it, but he was secretly delighted in his heart.

The results of the first day can be said to be a great success, and everything was within Lin Xiaofeng's expectations. In the following days, things went even more smoothly. The students studied independently according to the subjects they had divided the day before. The courses were mainly based on experiments, with occasional questions and answers. After class, they left homework for students to exchange and learn with their majors, and handed it in the next day for the teacher to grade.

In addition, Lin Xiaofeng also specially made a huge sign - "Top 100" to promote learning progress. He displayed the rankings according to the teachers' scores every day to stimulate the students' sense of competition. The effect of the launch of this list was immediate. Students who already had excellent study habits immediately began to study overtime, and everyone was full of enthusiasm.

For several days, the entire group was immersed in a frenzy of learning, and comrades had begun to turn into competitors. At midnight, the house was still brightly lit, and people could be seen reading and discussing everywhere. Lin Xiaofeng's plan was progressing steadily, and he believed that these college scientists would soon be able to change the views of these stubborn Confucian scholars.

Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian strolled side by side in the wide courtyard, their pace was neither fast nor slow, with their hands behind their backs, looking around. The night was getting darker, but the lights in the courtyard were still bright, illuminating everything around as clearly as day. The breeze blew by, bringing bursts of floral fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Li Dexian whispered, "Old Lin, looking at the current situation, they seem to have forgotten why we gathered here. If this trend continues, they won't be able to cause trouble again." There was a hint of helplessness and regret in his voice.

Lin Xiaofeng was about to respond when he suddenly saw a sneaky figure shaking in the corner. His face immediately changed and he shouted angrily: "Who is there? You are not allowed to do that next to the microscope! These teaching aids are borrowed. If you break them like this, how can others use them!" His voice echoed in the night sky with unquestionable majesty.

The figure shuddered in fear and immediately stopped what he was doing. Lin Xiaofeng walked over quickly and saw that it was a student who was observing his saliva with a microscope. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel speechless, but he didn't blame too much, just reminded: "These teaching aids are very precious, we must take good care of them. Don't do anything that is against public morality because of momentary curiosity."

After this incident, the learning atmosphere in the courtyard was not affected. The students were still immersed in the new scientific trend. Everyone was trying to absorb knowledge, and their faces were filled with a desire for knowledge and a vision for the future. Lin Xiaofeng was also quite satisfied, knowing that his plan was half successful. He looked forward to these students going further and further on the road of science, constantly innovating and breaking through, and bringing more changes to the world.

The shadows under the light swayed in the dusk, as if they were given life. When they heard the owner's scolding, they trembled and shrank back in fear, then quickly disappeared into the darkness like a shy girl. The shadows under the light seemed to be the messengers of the night, silently watching everything and taking everything in.

Lin Xiaofeng came back to his senses, looked at the disappearing shadow, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Although it has been relatively stable recently, I am afraid that turmoil is coming soon." His voice revealed a deep worry as if he had foreseen the future storm. This worry was not groundless but based on a keen insight into the current situation.

Li Dexian raised his head in confusion, frowning as if trying to see through Lin Xiaofeng's inner thoughts. "Where did you get this from?" he asked curiously, with a hint of confusion in his voice.

Lin Xiaofeng turned around and looked out the window at the night sky. The stars twinkled in the night sky, just like the worries in his heart. "People are still enthusiastic now because of curiosity, but the difficulty of learning will soon appear. After a long time, people will lose interest because they can't understand. By then, all our efforts will be in vain and everything will return to the starting point." His words were full of helplessness and worry. This was a foresight of the future and a helplessness of reality.

Li Dexian fell into deep thought after hearing this. He understood that Lin Xiaofeng's worry was not groundless. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What are your plans?" His voice revealed his trust and expectation for Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning and mystery in his smile. "I plan to let them learn some practical knowledge here to ease some social conflicts. Of course, this is just a preliminary plan." He paused and continued, "More importantly, I want to let reality teach them how to be human beings." His voice was firm and powerful, as if he had seen hope for the future. This is a profound interpretation of the educational concept and a firm belief in the future.

"Oh? How to teach?" Li Dexian asked curiously. He was full of expectations and curiosity about Lin Xiaofeng's plan.

"You will know when the time comes." Lin Xiaofeng smiled mysteriously, "The house I rented and the funds I provided will not be in vain." His eyes flashed with a firm light, which was the confidence in the future and the firm execution of the plan. It seemed that everything was under his control and only waited for the verification of time.

After hearing this, Li Dexian couldn't help but laugh at him. He crossed his arms and said, "I've been wandering around lately and I feel that my father may be dissatisfied with me. I have to go back. Can you do it alone?" There was some worry in his voice. This was his concern for his friend and also his uncertainty about the future.

"No problem, Your Highness, please don't stay too long. I can handle it alone." Lin Xiaofeng nodded with a confident smile on his face, "But there is one more thing I would like to ask Your Highness for help." He continued. This is a trust in friends and a further improvement of the plan. It seems that everything is going in an orderly manner and is just waiting for the final success.

"The Jinyiwei will pay your salary the day after tomorrow. I'm busy so you can go and collect it for me." His words revealed his trust and reliance on Li Dexian, as if everything had been arranged and he was just waiting for his friend's help.

Li Dexian smiled and said, "It takes a whole day to distribute the salary. I've collected it for you three times. You really don't need to do this." Although he complained verbally, there was a gleam of determination in his eyes. He had made up his mind to do his best to help his friend complete this plan, as if this was a commitment to friendship and an expectation for the future.

The conversation between the two echoed in the night, as if it was a firm belief in the future and a persistent pursuit of success. Everything around them was silently witnessing their efforts and dedication, looking forward to them going further and further on the road ahead and creating more brilliant achievements.

"Oh, it won't hurt to go for a while. I'm sleepy and want to go to bed." Lin Xiaofeng said, and walked into the room slowly with his hands behind his back, leaving Li Dexian alone in deep thought in the night. He stood there, looking at Lin Xiaofeng's disappearing back, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He was worried about Lin Xiaofeng's plan, but also admired his determination and courage.

Li Dexian sighed and looked around. He saw students around him biting their pens and thinking hard, their faces full of concentration and effort. He couldn't help but feel a little funny, these young people were so devoted to the pursuit of knowledge. He walked over and asked softly: "Brother, haven't you solved this problem yet?"

The student looked up at him and said unhappily: "This is physics, not as simple as the biology you are studying. You can solve it, come and try it!" The biology students next to him also cast dissatisfied glances, as if they were angered by Li Dexian's words.

Li Dexian was not afraid. He picked up the pen confidently and quickly wrote down the answer on the draft paper. Then he threw down the pen and said with a smile, "I don't want to do such a simple question anymore." His smile was full of pride and satisfaction. The physics students were stunned and incredulous as they watched him solve the problem. The other biology students applauded and cheered, admiring Li Dexian's wisdom and talent.

This small competition instantly livened up the atmosphere in the courtyard. The students gathered together, enthusiastically discussing various academic issues and exchanging their thoughts and experiences. They seemed to have forgotten their previous conflicts and disputes, and were only immersed in the ocean of knowledge and enjoying the fun of learning.

However, this harmonious atmosphere did not last long. Soon, students studying chemistry stood up to challenge the biology students. "You biology students are so great? Our teacher said that what you learned is useless! Students who graduate from North Corridor University cannot find jobs or make money!" A student shouted, breaking this harmonious academic exchange.

Li Dexian sneered after hearing this, shook his head and said, "Don't argue, those who study physical chemistry will sooner or later realize their shortcomings." His words revealed his disdain and ridicule for physical chemistry. It seemed that he had seen their failure and loneliness, and other biology students also echoed and laughed at those students who studied chemistry.

···········
This sudden dispute instantly made the atmosphere in the courtyard tense. The students were divided into different camps, attacking and cursing each other. They seemed to have forgotten the harmony and communication before, and were only immersed in quarrels and struggles, enjoying the pleasure of defeating their opponents, but forgetting the original purpose of coming here.

Zhou Xuemao looked at the textbook absentmindedly. He looked around and felt uneasy that things were not going well. Everyone had gathered here to petition the court and fight for their rights, but now they were fighting for fame and fortune. The scholars were divided, and the scientists were each working for their own interests, despising and attacking each other. What else could they do if this continued? He couldn't help but feel worried and confused about the future prospects.

Zhou Xuemao sighed and looked up at the sky, which was stained blood red by the setting sun. He began to miss the comfortable life at home, the comfortable reclining chair, and the hot tea in the cup, as if he was tired of this seemingly endless struggle. He looked down at the textbook in his hand, and those complicated formulas and theories were like disordered lines entangled in his mind. The confusion and tediousness of scientific knowledge made him feel dizzy.
