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

"Brother Jiang, that's not what I meant!" Zhou Xuemao's voice was a little anxious, with a bit of anxiety, "We originally agreed to work together to do great things, but now we are deeply immersed in the sea of ​​books, with no rest. The first effort is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. I see that the morale is low and the spirit is crushed. Who will have the energy to fight with the court in the future?" His words were full of dissatisfaction with the status quo and worries about the future, and there was a firm light flashing in his deep eyes.

After listening to this, Brother Jiang was silent for a moment, then sighed, "However, the president said that if you want to debate with the court, you must be proficient in science. We don't even understand the basics yet, so how can we talk about a debate... Alas, I really underestimated science in the past. It is so unfathomable! The principles of nature and the precise calculations all contain infinite power!" His tone revealed his awe and yearning for science, as if he had been deeply attracted by the endless ocean of knowledge.

Zhou Xuemao frowned, and he felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He looked around again, trying to find the companions who had fought side by side with him. His sight shuttled through the crowd, and finally fixed on a man who was scratching his head and thinking hard in front of a book. He recognized that it was Brother Wang, and walked over.

"Brother Wang, don't you think the current situation is wrong?" he asked in a low voice, trying to find resonance with this former comrade-in-arms.

Brother Wang raised his head, glanced at Zhou Xuemao, and smiled knowingly: "Something is wrong, Brother Zhou. Do you want to change your major too?" There was a hint of ridicule and misunderstanding in his words, as if he was unaware of Zhou Xuemao's inner anxiety and struggle.

Zhou Xuemao's face changed slightly, and he cursed in his heart how these people were so obsessed with learning that they ignored their original intention. However, he did not get angry, but just forced a smile and said: "Brother Wang, we fought for the benefit of the people! Now if we continue to delay like this, when will it end? When are you going to stop learning?" His words revealed his disappointment with Brother Wang and his dissatisfaction with the current situation.

Brother Wang sighed and put down the book in his hand: "Brother Zhou, to be honest, I did choose the wrong major. But now that things have come to this, what can I do?" His tone was full of helplessness and regret, as if he deeply regretted his original choice.

Zhou Xuemao's face became uglier. He felt that these people seemed to have completely forgotten their original intentions and missions. However, at this moment, Brother Wang continued, "But what you said makes sense. It seems that there is really no end to learning like this. Maybe we should re-examine our goals and directions."

Zhou Xuemao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother Wang, it's great that you are starting to reflect! We can't go on like this! We should find another way! Let's go straight to Zheng Banqiao and explain it clearly! If we continue like this, won't we be misleading the young people? Look at your current state, how can you be a soldier fighting for the people? You are just like a student who is going to take the entrance exam for Beilang University!" His words were full of passion and determination, and his bright eyes flashed with expectation and hope for the future.

Brother Wang looked at Zhou Xuemao in surprise: "Brother Zhou, you are right! I also think that this is not a good way to study! We should find someone to talk to the president! But to be honest, if I can learn all this scientific knowledge, it would be good to earn 100 taels of silver a month! And there is a way to become an official after graduating from a junior college!" His words revealed a compromise with reality and a pursuit of interests. This also reflects a common mentality in society at that time - wandering and struggling between ideals and reality.

"Brother Wang! You are my comrade who once fought side by side with me! How can you say such a thing? We are serious scholars! We have degrees from Dongda University! Wouldn't we be more popular in the court?" Zhou Xuemao said angrily. There was a bit of dissatisfaction, arrogance and disappointment in his voice. He seemed to have seen through the true face of these people - they have been tempted by fame and fortune and defeated by reality; their pursuits and values ​​have changed; they are no longer the warriors who fought for their ideals, but have become slaves of fame and fortune and captives of reality. He felt deeply dissatisfied and contemptuous of this situation.

However, he also understood that this fight seemed to have become meaningless, because everyone had forgotten their original intention, mission and the days when they had fought side by side; all that was left was the crazy pursuit of fame and fortune and the compromise with reality. Zhou Xuemao's heart was filled with disappointment and frustration. The night gradually deepened, covering the entire sky like a huge black curtain. Only a few sparse stars were flashing faint light, as if telling of endless sorrow and loneliness.

In a simple room, Lin Xiaofeng sat at his desk, deep in thought, with a determined look on his face, as if he was thinking about some important decision. He knew that this seemingly endless fight had turned into a fight for fame and fortune; the scholars had also split into various factions, despising each other and fighting endlessly. This situation was beyond his expectations, and made him feel extremely sad and disappointed.

However, he did not intend to give up. He believed that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he should not give up easily. He decided to take some measures to save the situation - let the scholars reunite and continue to fight for the benefit of the people! He began to conceive a new plan and hoped to awaken the fighting spirit and original intention of these people; let them return to the right path and continue to fight side by side.

In the night, Lin Xiaofeng's figure appears particularly firm. He is like a lonely mountain, standing firm in the darkness. There is a firm light in his eyes, which is the belief in the future, the sense of responsibility to the people, and the indomitable spirit in the face of challenges. He knows that the road he has chosen is full of thorns, and every step may encounter difficulties and challenges, but he did not retreat or fear. Because there is a belief burning deep in his heart, that is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he cannot give up easily. He will challenge those seemingly impossible tasks, fight, and strive for a better future with his own strength for the benefit of the people.

The bustling streets of Kyoto sparkle charmingly in the night, but in this city, there are still many corners with outdated ideas. People living here have thoughts like those old scriptures, and it is difficult to turn over a new page and accept those new and profound scientific knowledge. In their eyes, this knowledge is like the stars that are out of reach, which cannot be touched or understood.

Even though there were visionaries running around, using passionate speeches and vivid examples to try to explain to them the charm of science, the effect was not significant. They shook their heads blankly, looking at those complicated formulas and theories, their hearts filled with confusion and helplessness. To them, this knowledge was like an incomprehensible book, which made them hesitate and unable to move forward.

However, in this confusion, there are still people who hold hope and enthusiasm and work hard to ignite the fire of knowledge in people's hearts. Under the sunshine of early autumn, Zhou Xuemao and his partners, like a group of passionate young people, shuttled through the streets and alleys of Kyoto. With their thirst for knowledge and vision for the future, they used their enthusiasm to infect everyone around them. Their efforts were not in vain. In a short period of time, they gathered more than a hundred knowledge seekers who also had dreams.

This unprecedented change naturally attracted the attention of many people. They may have had doubts about scientific knowledge, or they may have been on the sidelines about this change. But now, they are all attracted by this craze, and they put down their books one after another, and start to pay attention to the progress of this change with some curiosity and expectation.

In the center of the crowd, Zhou Xuemao felt the expectant gazes from everyone. A sense of pride surged in his heart, as if he was the navigator leading everyone to break through the waves. He knew very well that he was shouldering an important mission at the moment, and he had to lead everyone to sail into the unknown ocean and explore the true meaning of science.

However, in this transformation, Zheng Banqiao, who was supposed to be at the forefront, chose to retreat behind the scenes. This made Zhou Xuemao feel a little regretful. He thought to himself that if Zheng Banqiao could step forward and serve as the president, then this transformation might go more smoothly. However, he also understood that everyone has their own choices and decisions. He respected Zheng Banqiao's decision, and at the same time, he was proud that he could stand here and lead this transformation.

Zhou Xuemao looked around at those enthusiastic faces, and his heart was filled with a sense of responsibility. He stood up and said in a loud and firm voice: "Everyone, we can't just sit here and wait for change to come. We must take action to promote this change! Learning scientific knowledge is important, but if we just talk about it on paper, our enthusiasm will soon be exhausted."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was echoed by many people. However, some onlookers still had doubts. They shook their heads and sighed, thinking that although learning scientific knowledge was beneficial, the study in the past few days had already given them some tips and some understanding of the application of technology. This knowledge was like a bright star, illuminating their way forward, but at the same time it also made them more confused and puzzled about the future.

Faced with the disagreements and confusion of the crowd, Zhou Xuemao was not discouraged. He took a deep breath and suggested: "Since everyone has different opinions, we might as well go to Brother Tang to ask for clarification. Brother Tang has extensive knowledge and may be able to give us some pointers." After that, he led everyone to the hall to find the person who could answer their doubts - Lin Xiaofeng.

After passing through the magnificent hall, the group came to the corridor. Zhou Xuemao knocked gently on Lin Xiaofeng's door, and the door opened. Lin Xiaofeng's graceful figure appeared in front of everyone. He smiled faintly, as if he had seen through everything: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go to study?"

Zhou Xuemao bowed and saluted, and said solemnly: "Brother Tang, do you still remember the original intention of our founding Xingsheng Society?" After Lin Xiaofeng nodded slightly to indicate that he remembered, he continued: "We gathered here to restore the Holy Word, rectify the source of the court, eliminate scientific pseudo-theories, and plead for the people. However, now, we are wasting time here to learn those seemingly useless scientific knowledge. Brother Tang, as the president, is always invisible and does not lead by example. This is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?" Faced with Zhou Xuemao's provocation and questioning, Lin Xiaofeng was not angry. He sighed and said sadly: "You are right. I think the brothers have not learned it very well. If this continues, it may be difficult to debate with officials in the court."

After hearing this, many people lowered their heads in shame. Lin Xiaofeng continued, "In fact, while everyone was studying hard, I was also preparing a second plan. This is why you can't see me all the time."

"The second plan?" Zhou Xuemao asked curiously, "What plan?"

"Since we are not sophisticated enough in theory, we must provide factual evidence if we want to convince the court." Lin Xiaofeng explained, "We need to find the evil consequences caused by science and use solid evidence so that the court cannot refute it."

Hearing this, many people's eyes lit up. "President, have you found any evidence?" someone asked impatiently.

Lin Xiaofeng pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't found the specific evidence yet, but I already know where the evidence is." He looked up into the distance, as if he saw the dark corners that were eroded by science. "Many new factories have been built in Kyoto, and many of them use technologies from the so-called Beilang University. You may think that factories use new technologies to improve efficiency and save manpower, but that's not the case. The truth is that factories are exploiting workers to save costs!"

Lin Xiaofeng's voice revealed deep indignation. He continued, "I have a friend who is very interested in factories and wants to build one, so I learned about this. After I knew about this, I contacted a reporter from the Beilang Daily to investigate the truth. But the results of the investigation were incredible. The reporter said that the workers in the factory were very happy. They only needed to work four or five hours a day before they could leave work. They also had eight or nine days of vacation a month, and they received gifts on holidays."

Lin Xiaofeng sneered and shook his head: "How could I believe such nonsense? So, I contacted my friends to investigate the factory, and found that the situation in the factory was very bad! The workers were used like slaves, and the factory owners desperately exploited their labor. Some people even collapsed beside the machine with blood on the corners of their mouths, but they were forced to continue working!"

When everyone heard this, they were filled with righteous indignation and expressed their desire to fight for the rights of the workers. Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng continued, "This is the evidence we are looking for. We must expose the evil deeds of these factories and let the court and the people see the true face of science. Only in this way can we truly restore the Holy Word, correct the original source, eliminate scientific pseudo-theories, and plead for the people!"

Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a key that unlocked the anger deep in everyone's hearts. The originally calm expressions on their faces were gradually replaced by resentment, and they felt deeply unfair for the people who were abused by the factory and the dark forces.

"What these factories did is so abominable! Moreover, North Corridor University is actually the driving force behind it, which is really unbelievable!" Someone said gritting his teeth, clenching his fists, showing his inner anger.

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and continued, "If we can obtain solid evidence, we can wipe out these unhealthy tendencies in the country in one fell swoop! We scholars have the responsibility to illuminate the way forward for the people and give them a clear and bright world!" His words revealed great determination and persistence.

Zhou Xuemao's breathing quickened as he listened to Lin Xiaofeng's words. He had never thought that Lin Xiaofeng had mastered such a big secret. He looked around and saw black smoke coming out of tall chimneys on the streets of Kyoto. It was a symbol of how many factories were operating and how many workers were suffering in those factories waiting to be rescued! As long as this matter could be made public, their influence would increase greatly, and they would be able to fight for better treatment for those workers.

"So how does the president plan to collect evidence?" someone asked impatiently, with eagerness and anticipation in his voice.

Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and said slowly: "The factory, newspaper, Beilang University and other forces have colluded with each other. If we want to conduct a direct investigation, it will be extremely difficult and difficult to gain anything. So, I thought of another way, but it requires everyone to suffer a little. I wonder if you are willing?"

Everyone said in unison: "Please speak, President! For the sake of the people of the world, what does it matter if we endure a little hardship? We are willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!" Their voices were firm and powerful, as if they were fully prepared.

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with emotion, and he continued, "There are many factories in Beijing that need workers. I have bribed the people in the brokerage industry to provide us with many jobs. We can sneak into various factories and find and record evidence while working. In this way, we can secretly collect solid evidence, and even if the factory is carefully disguised, it will be difficult for us to escape."

"We can secretly collect evidence while working in the factory. When the time is right, we can come back here. That time is when we can speak to the court and seek justice for the people! What do you think?" Lin Xiaofeng's words were full of passion and appeal, and his eyes flashed with expectation and confidence for the future.

After listening to Lin Xiaofeng's plan, everyone fell into a brief silence. This was not a trivial matter, but a mission that required risking one's life. The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it also felt the depression and anxiety of the world, just like the heavy mood of the students at the moment.

Zhou Xuemao frowned. He had to admit that although Lin Xiaofeng's plan was risky, it might be their only way to reveal the truth. However, he was still a little worried: "Brother Tang, this is feasible, but the risk is too great. We are all scholars. How could we have done such rough work? Moreover, once we are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lin Xiaofeng understood Zhou Xuemao's concerns. He looked around at every young and determined face, took a deep breath and said, "Brother Xuemao is right. This trip is indeed full of risks. However, think about the people who are suffering. How can we sit back and do nothing? As scholars, we should shoulder this responsibility. I believe that as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome all difficulties!"

At this time, the plainly dressed housekeeper appeared in front of everyone again. He held a list and a map in his hand and handed them to Lin Xiaofeng. Lin Xiaofeng took the list and map, glanced at them, and then solemnly handed them to Zhou Xuemao: "Brother Xuemao, this is our target factory and job arrangement. Take a look, if there is no problem, we will act according to this plan." Zhou Xuemao took the list and map and looked at them carefully. He saw the familiar factory name and job arrangement, and a sense of pride surged in his heart. He looked up at Lin Xiaofeng, with a firm light in his eyes: "Okay! Act according to this plan! We will definitely succeed!"

As Zhou Xuemao finished speaking, everyone expressed their agreement. They knew that the road ahead would be full of hardships and dangers, but they were ready. They wanted to use their actions to illuminate the way forward for the people and give them a clear and bright world!

However, despite their determination, when the students actually stepped into those dark factories, they found that the hardships here were far beyond their imagination. Not only did they have to endure heavy physical labor and a poor working environment, but they also had to be on guard against being discovered by the factory management. Every day was as thrilling as walking on a tightrope.

However, despite all the difficulties, the students never gave up. They encouraged and supported each other, and together they searched for clues to reveal the truth. Every time they found a strong piece of evidence, they felt extremely excited and thrilled, as if they saw the dawn of victory waving at them.

In the spacious and elegant room, Lin Xiaofeng and the old housekeeper sat on exquisite chairs. The old housekeeper's face was full of wrinkles and he sighed, revealing deep worry in his voice: "Master, we really can't go on like this. There is not much money left in the family."

Lin Xiaofeng's originally calm expression changed when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "How could this be? I remember that my family still has at least several thousand taels of silver as a foundation."

The old housekeeper made a bitter face and explained helplessly: "Alas, Master, you are usually busy with external affairs, and you don't know some things. In order to help everyone find jobs privately, we originally agreed with the intermediary for 1,300 taels, but they suddenly changed their minds and raised the price directly to 2,000 taels. Now that the family is short of working capital, it is really difficult for us to raise the extra 700 taels."

At this time, the students gathered outside the door accidentally heard this conversation. They were reading or discussing in the courtyard, but at this moment they involuntarily stopped what they were doing and put their ears close to the door, trying to hear more clearly. When the words "the family has no money now" floated into their ears, their hearts tightened. It turned out that President Tang had been silently bearing all the expenses, so that these students could study at ease in the Tang family without any worries.

The students looked at each other, their hearts filled with guilt and gratitude. It suddenly dawned on them that President Tang had been silently supporting them behind the scenes, but they knew nothing about it.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng's angry voice suddenly came from the room: "Enough! Stop talking! Go and take the famous paintings and deeds in your home to the pawnshop! No matter what, I can't let my brothers suffer any grievances!" Then, there was a crisp sound, as if a teacup was smashed to the ground.

When the students outside the door heard this voice, their hearts trembled, and many of them were already in tears. They felt President Tang's sincerity and righteousness, and felt ashamed of their previous misunderstandings and complaints. It turns out that there is true love in the world, and it does not take a long time to get along with someone to see the heart of a person. The students were moved by President Tang's sincerity, and they decided to do something for him to repay his kindness.

Zhou Xuemao was also standing in the crowd. He originally thought that he had a wide range of friends, but at this moment he was touched by President Tang's sincerity. He deeply sighed that meeting such a frank confidant in life was better than meeting countless casual friends. So he made up his mind to follow President Tang into the factory to investigate the truth hidden in the darkness.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened and the old housekeeper rushed out. His face was pale, and he ignored the others, covering his face with his hands and ran away quickly. In his hands, he was still tightly holding a land deed and a painting, which were the last heritage of their family. Then, Lin Xiaofeng walked out slowly. His eyes were red, as if he had just cried. He looked a little embarrassed at this moment, although he was originally elegant. However, his appearance made people feel very distressed.

The students looked away and looked at Lin Xiaofeng. He took a deep breath, raised his hand, smiled and said to them: "Ahem... Sorry to have kept you waiting. I will continue now." Although his voice was trembling, it was full of determination and strength.

Lin Xiaofeng began to explain in detail why he had to ask students to go into the factory to investigate in person instead of hiring people to collect evidence. He was worried that his power was too great and his resources were abundant. If the evil forces found out that he had bribed his people and came back to bite him, he would be in an irreversible situation. Therefore, the only people he could rely on were these students.

He believed that with the students' sense of justice, they would not succumb to evil forces. Of course, he would not force the students to do this, but just hoped that they would voluntarily sign up to participate in this action. If the students did not want to go, they could stay at Tang's house to learn theoretical knowledge of Dongda; if they wanted to go home, he could give them some money. However, if the students gave up halfway, he would not blame them, because they had accompanied him for a while, and he was already very grateful.

At this point, Lin Xiaofeng's expression became solemn. He slowly bent down and bowed deeply to the students to express his gratitude. Suddenly, a pair of strong hands held his arms. He looked up and saw that it was Zhou Xuemao. Zhou Xuemao's face was full of shame, emotion and solemnity: "Brother Lin! You don't have to say anything more! It's just to work in the factory! I, Zhou Xuemao, am willing to be a pioneer!" As soon as he finished speaking, there were echoes from behind.

"President, I'm willing to go too! We'll prosper and suffer together!" a burly student shouted loudly, his face full of determination and resolution, as if no difficulties could stop him from moving forward.

"Yes! The president has done so much for us. What's the big deal about going into the factory to investigate such a small matter? I want to go too!" Another student waved his fist and expressed his wishes passionately. His eyes were shining with a fiery light, which was a desire for justice and support for the president.

"And me! I want to go to the factory too!" More students raised their hands to sign up, their faces filled with youthful enthusiasm and fearless courage. They knew that this action might face many difficulties and dangers, but they chose to support the president without hesitation and chose to pursue truth and justice.

Seeing students rushing to sign up for this action, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes were moistened again. He knew the danger and uncertainty of this action, but these students chose to support him without hesitation and accompany him to face unknown challenges and difficulties. This firm support and selfless dedication made him feel extremely moved and proud.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm his excitement, and then said loudly: "Okay! I, Lin Xiaofeng, would like to thank you all! Don't worry, I will do my best to protect everyone's safety and ensure the smooth progress of this operation. Let's uncover the truth about that dark factory and fight for justice!"

Amid the cheers, Lin Xiaofeng and the students held hands tightly. Their eyes met, revealing a silent understanding and determination. The sun shone on their faces, reflecting the determination and persistence in their eyes. They knew that the journey ahead would not be a smooth one, but full of unknowns and dangers. However, for the justice in their hearts and the belief in pursuing the truth, they went forward without hesitation.

Lin Xiaofeng stood in front of everyone, his smile as warm as the spring breeze, as if it could dispel all the haze. He looked around, looking at those eager and expectant faces, and a sense of pride surged in his heart. He said in a smooth manner: "Great! Seeing everyone so united, why should we worry about not being able to accomplish great things?" His voice was soft but full of power, like a spring stream, warm and firm. Every word seemed to carry magic, making people involuntarily convinced.

He looked up into the distance, his eyes flashing with a fiery light, and then said loudly: "I will send someone to register you. Maybe the day after tomorrow, you can enter the factory in batches." His words revealed great confidence and determination, as if everything was under his control. When the candidates heard this, they all showed expressions of surprise and joy on their faces.

Lin Xiaofeng reassured everyone, "Although it is an illegal factory, please rest assured. I will arrange for you to work in a big factory. You can get two taels of silver as salary every month, and your life will definitely not be in danger. If you encounter difficulties, you can quit at any time." His voice was gentle and sincere, like a close friend, giving the most sincere care and encouragement.

However, despite the many shady dealings within the factory, the candidates believed Lin Xiaofeng's words without a doubt. They seemed to have been drugged and were full of expectations and longing for the upcoming factory life. "I understand, let's register!" The candidates shouted in unison, their faces filled with excitement and expectation. It was as if they saw themselves working hard in the factory and earning a good salary.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction, and a gleam of pride flashed in his eyes. He said loudly: "Okay! Now please line up in an orderly manner to register. Please report your place of origin and name, and you can prepare to enter the factory after registration." Candidates lined up to wait for registration, and the scene was orderly.

However, Zhou Xuemao asked doubtfully: "Brother Tang, can we use a pseudonym when we enter the factory? Can't we just make up a name?" A cunning look flashed in his eyes, and he was obviously proud of his cleverness. Lin Xiaofeng sighed softly and shook his head helplessly: "I have thought of this method, but the rules of the big factory are extremely strict, and using a pseudonym may not work."

He paused and continued, "What's more, what we do is to bring honor to our family. If we use a pseudonym, wouldn't it be a joke if it gets out in the future?" Zhou Xuemao nodded in sudden enlightenment, "I see, I didn't think it through." He scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly. The other candidates also smiled in understanding.

The sun shone brightly in the busy courtyard. Lin Xiaofeng called two clever servants to help register the candidates' information. They set up a long table at the door and began to work, while the candidates came forward one by one to sign in. The whole process was full of anticipation and tension, but everyone seemed extremely excited and excited.

As the last candidate completed registration, Lin Xiaofeng announced loudly: "Please rest and prepare for departure in the next two days! If you need my help, just come to me!" His voice was sonorous and confident, making everyone present feel extremely at ease and trusted. The candidates responded in unison, very excited.

As the crowd slowly dispersed, whispers began to circulate. "Do we need to prepare some protective gear when we enter the factory this time? What if we get whipped?" a candidate asked worriedly, with a look of fear on his face. "It shouldn't be that brutal, and where can we find protective gear?" another candidate tried to comfort him, but his tone also revealed some uncertainty and worry.

"What are you going to do?" "We have to work hard to earn two taels of wages a month! The president has spent so much money on us, we should use the money we earn to make up for his deficit." One candidate said firmly, with a determined look on his face. It seemed that he had made up his mind to share some of the financial pressure for the president. "That makes sense!" The other candidates echoed, and their faces also showed expressions of approval and determination.

With the gate tightly closed, the courtyard regained its tranquility. At this time, Lin Xiaofeng sat in the house, leisurely sipping tea, feeling particularly happy. He opened the list in his hand and handed it to a Jinyiwei, saying, "Take this to the pawnshop to make arrangements, and come back to report immediately after the arrangements are made!" His tone revealed a kind of majesty and unquestionable attitude. "Yes!" The Jinyiwei saluted and left quickly, his figure gradually disappearing in the afterglow of the sunset. Lin Xiaofeng continued to sip tea, with a smug smile on his lips, as if everything was under his control.

Another Jinyiwei was still standing there, with a smile on his face and admiration in his eyes. He said to Lin Xiaofeng, "Sir, your method is really brilliant! Lin Xiaofeng heard that someone plans to use the salary to make up for the deficit. Maybe this expenditure can be recovered." His voice was full of admiration for Lin Xiaofeng, as if he saw the wisdom behind Lin Xiaofeng that was as shining as the stars.

Lin Xiaofeng was originally bringing the tea to his mouth, but when he heard this, his hand suddenly stopped. He raised his head slightly, glanced at the Jinyiwei with a deep gaze, chuckled and shook his head, and said with an almost inaudible disappointment and helplessness: "You, your vision is still too short-sighted, and it is difficult for you to achieve great things." Although his tone was flat, every word hit the Jinyiwei's heart like a heavy hammer. After speaking, he drank the tea in the cup in one breath, as if venting some emotion in his heart.

Jinyiwei's smile became a little awkward, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He tried to change the subject to break the sudden silence: "Sir, today's official documents and Dongda's information have arrived. Do you want to see them?"

"Well, bring it here." Lin Xiaofeng waved his hand, and his voice returned to his usual calm and decisive tone. Although he was not in the court at this time, the heavy and important official duties had never been reduced due to the change of environment.

As the Jinyiwei left, Lin Xiaofeng stood up and paced around the room with his hands behind his back. He closed his eyes and thought, as if he was building a grand blueprint in his mind. Everything was going well, and he was just waiting for the realization of the last link. He imagined that if he succeeded, the candidates across the country would become a huge force in promoting the popularization of science; even if he failed, they would not become a hindrance. Thinking of this, Lin Xiaofeng's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

The afterglow of the setting sun filled the whole room, and the golden light added a touch of warmth to the quiet room. Lin Xiaofeng sat at the desk, his figure looking particularly firm under the reflection of the setting sun. He focused on the official documents in his hands, and his dedication and persistence to official duties seemed to become the most beautiful scenery in this evening.

After a while, the Jinyiwei who had left earlier came back with a pile of information in his hands. He gently placed the information on Lin Xiaofeng's desk, then quietly stepped aside.

At this time, another Jinyiwei who had gone to do other things also came back happily. He stood in front of Lin Xiaofeng, his face filled with joy that could not be concealed: "Sir, the matter has been settled."

Lin Xiaofeng raised his head, a hint of expectation and inquiry flashed in his deep eyes: "Oh? Tell me in detail."

"There are a total of 765 people who signed up to join the factory this time," Jinyiwei reported excitedly, "The brokerage fee stipulated by the brokerage company is two taels of silver per person, and they should have paid 1,530 taels. But when they settled the bill, they actually gave an extra 170 taels of silver, making it a total of 1,600 taels." His voice was full of pride and pride, as if all this was within Lin Xiaofeng's expectations. (End of this chapter)
