Chapter 72

In the quiet and profound boudoir of the Lu Mansion, Lu Xuanxin sat alone, clutching the love letter sent by Lin Xiaofeng in her hand. The heavy emotion was like a huge stone thrown into her originally calm heart, instantly stirring up layers of emotions. The ripples could not subside for a long time.

The candlelight flickered, and the light and shadow were mottled, reflecting on her delicate face. Her eyes were like a pool of autumn water, but at this moment, there were complex emotional ripples.

She faced the flickering lights alone, as pious and focused as a pilgrim facing a god. She chewed every word and sentence in the love letter carefully, letting the hot words be like a red iron, deeply engraved in the heart. On top of her heart.

Unexpectedly, these passionate feelings turned into sharp-edged arrow clusters, penetrating the veil between reality and dreams, and shooting directly into her deepest dream world.

That night, the moonlight filled the boudoir, but it failed to bring any peace.

Lu Xuanxin was immersed in the confusion and uneasiness that seemed like a world away, and was dragged into the abyss of a suffocating nightmare. In the dream, a slippery and strange octopus appeared. The suckers on its body seemed to contain endless power, and it continuously spit out thick and cold oil, trapping her airtightly in it.

When she struggled to break free and her body rolled in pain in the void, the image of the octopus suddenly distorted and transformed into Lin Xiaofeng's appearance inexplicably - those cunning eyes full of passion, that smile bright but slightly... The evil face was like a ghost coming out of the fog of a dream, making her unable to extricate herself between fear and desire.

At that time, Lin Xiaofeng, who was on the other side of the world, was the initiator of this emotional whirlpool, but was still immersed in the sweet dream he had weaved by himself, and was completely unaware of the huge emotional turmoil that his love letter caused in Lu Xuanxin's heart.

In his own world, he leisurely looked back on the details of yesterday. Every beat of his heart and every whisper from the bottom of his heart were carefully stored in the treasure chest of his memory and became a source of self-indulgence.

The corner of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth couldn't help but slightly raise a smile of satisfaction. The smile revealed pride and confidence, an appreciation for his own talent, and a firm belief that this deep affection could impress Lu Xuanxin.

However, he didn't know that this emotional chase drama that started with a love letter had quietly slid into a new chapter with more ups and downs and entanglements. The wheels of fate were rolling forward silently, waiting for them. , is an unknown and challenging emotional journey.

Under the throne of Emperor Jingjiang, Li Dexian, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of being the crown prince, has a face as haggard as an autumn leaf, and endless fatigue flowing from his eyes, like a war horse that has galloped across thousands of miles of territory and is no longer able to neigh.

For two consecutive days and nights, in order to properly settle the employment problems of the children of court officials, and even those brothers who had bathed in the emperor's grace with him and had a deep brotherhood, he worked hard, thought hard, and searched almost every corner of his heart. , but have never been able to find a way that can both preserve the overall situation and take into account friendship.

Eliminating redundant staff was like cutting out flesh and healing wounds, and increasing the responsibilities of existing officials was like a mountain weighing down on them. Every decision he made was like a shining sword, hanging heavily on the apex of his heart, causing him to suffer. After all, which one of these people was not a colleague and close friend who drank and talked happily on a white moonlit night? Now, how can we bear to wield a ruthless scepter against them?

At the same time, deep in this majestic and solemn court, another figure was also tightly entangled with the same troubles, and that was Lin Xiaofeng.

The two stood side by side. Although they were in the bustling and noisy temple, they seemed to be independent from the world. They both appeared to be in a state of wandering and dreaming.

At this moment, in the court hall, the ministers were arguing fiercely, and the voices were rising and falling, like hot flames splashed on hot grease, instantly igniting the air, filling the entire hall with a tense and heated atmosphere.

However, the uproar of controversy failed to break their inner contemplation. Instead, it made their unspeakable worries and struggles under the spotlight even more eye-catching.

Just when the clamor of this group was about to break through the dome of the court, Emperor Jingjiang's solemn and deep voice suddenly sounded, like a huge bell at dawn, cutting through all the noise and disturbance, and pointed directly at the people's hearts.

He asked Lin Xiaofeng majestically: "Lin Aiqing, do you have any unique insights into this matter?"

This sudden inquiry was like a cold lightning piercing the sky, instantly waking up Lin Xiaofeng who was still immersed in the quagmire of thoughts.

When Lin Xiaofeng heard the holy teaching, it was like cold water poured over his head. He subconsciously straightened his clothes and responded with his hands raised: "Your Majesty is very perceptive and extremely wise! I agree with Mr. Li's views to a certain extent."

As soon as he said these words, he noticed subtle changes in the surrounding atmosphere. All the courtiers except Li Dexian cast their surprised and contemplative gazes over them. Their eyes seemed to be asking silently why he would give such a statement. Puzzling answer.

Lin Xiaofeng's heart tightened, and he suddenly understood what he had just said. A strong sense of crisis prompted him to quickly adjust his posture, and hurriedly raised his voice and added: "Ahem, I'm sorry, but I don't completely agree with you! The truth is , Regarding some of the specific implementation issues raised by Mr. Li, I am still considering them in depth at this moment, and have not yet completely sorted out a clear context and countermeasures."

Although these words were somewhat embarrassing and self-justifying, they saved him from the embarrassing situation at this critical moment and avoided a possible turmoil in the court caused by careless words.

Emperor Jingjiang's eyes were like shining torches, turning slightly on his head inlaid with dragon patterns. This momentary movement contained the emperor's endless majesty and profundity.

His eyes were locked on Li Yihao again, his expression was like the lake water in late autumn, calm on the surface, but in fact there were countless tumbling emotional undercurrents underneath.

In this quiet hall, Emperor Jingjiang's words flowed out slowly, and every word seemed to carry a thousand pounds of power: "Li Aiqing, you might as well continue to state your opinion."

When Li Yihao heard this, his body instantly stood upright, like a proud and independent pine and cypress, his eyes were as tough as iron and piercing.

A picture of calmness and resoluteness was outlined between his brows, which was a kind of persistence in faith and a commitment to responsibility. He responded sonorously and forcefully: "Your Majesty is wise and has insight into everything. The place I chose is east of the city." Jinlinfang's prosperity is comparable to that of North Langfang.

On the one hand, we can implement benevolent government here and relieve the people from hardship; on the other hand, we can also use this to demonstrate the image of the court as just and selfless.

If the effectiveness of my administration in Jin Linfang is not as good as that of Master Lin in Bei Langfang, I am willing to risk my fortune and life and go to Beijing to plead guilty. If Mr. Lin has any doubts about this, or thinks that Jin Linfang's geographical advantages are more significant, he can choose to take over. "

When Emperor Jingjiang heard Li Yihao's powerful words, a bitter smile that was not easily noticed appeared on his face. Hidden in that smile was not only the helplessness of his courtiers' decisive attitude, but also his deep concern for the important responsibilities of the country and the country.

He raised his broad and thick palms and waved them gently in the air, as if stroking the invisible pressure.

At this time, there was a tired yet tolerant tone in his voice, as if he had gone through many vicissitudes of life: "Li Aiqing, why do you have to be so decisive? Lin Aiqing, what do you think of this?"

When Lin Xiaofeng faced such a conversation, his eyes as bright as stars flickered for an instant, as if he had an instant insight into this complicated chess game.

He lowered his eyes slightly, the surprise and doubt deep in his heart intertwined, like a rushing stream hitting the dam of reason.

He carefully savored Li Yihao's intention in the brief silence. After he fully understood it, he raised his head resolutely and said in a clear voice without giving in, "Wei Chen has no objection!"

The world in Li Yihao's eyes, when facing Lin Xiaofeng's calm face, suddenly seemed to be shaken by a strange force. An unprecedented surprise crept into his heart, like an autumn wind ruffling the surface of the calm lake. ripple.

He stared at Lin Xiaofeng and wondered to himself: How could this young man be so calm and face challenges without any fear? Does this contain some unfathomable strategic plan?

At this time, Emperor Jingjiang's voice echoed throughout the entire hall again, like a stone thrown into a quiet pond. Wherever the words fell, they aroused ripples of thinking.

"Dear ministers, what insights do you have?"

This voice was calm and powerful, yet subtle and restrained, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Immediately afterwards, as if they had received some invisible call, a group of knowledgeable bachelors stepped out from the depths of the crowd. Their faces were solemn and resolute, and the words in their mouths were as sonorous and powerful as cast iron, forming a neat line. Resonance: "We unanimously agree with Mr. Li's actions. If Mr. Li can achieve remarkable achievements in the governance of Jin Linfang, we implore His Highness the Crown Prince to return to the East Palace and concentrate on studying the ways of governing the country."

In this boiling atmosphere, Li Dexian, who was standing silently in the corner, seemed to be awakened by a thunderbolt, and a look of shock and confusion flashed in his eyes.

He was dumbfounded, his mouth slightly opened but unable to make any sound. His dull eyes were staring at the colleagues who were actively admonishing him, and his heart was boiling like boiling water: How did this sudden turn of events involve him? Into the vortex? Why did these colleagues, who usually seemed gentle and gentle but were actually as cunning as foxes, choose this delicate moment to request that he return to the East Palace to study? What kind of power game and human calculations are hidden behind this?

Emperor Jingjiang's face was like a piece of ice that had been polished by the years. His majestic air penetrated every inch of his skin. The coldness between his brows was astonishing to people's hearts. The power of his words was as loud as a hammer, shaking the hall.

"This matter is finalized! You are given a three-month period. Lin Aiqing needs to join hands with the prince to govern Beilangfang, while Li Aiqing will be fully responsible for all the affairs of Jin Linfang. At that time, I will send a close and capable minister to conduct an on-site inspection. If Lin Aiqing fails to To stand out in this competition, the prince must immediately return to the East Palace and study behind closed doors, so as to sharpen his mind and work hard to govern."

Just as Emperor Jingjiang's words were still reverberating in the air, as if they had condensed into beads and had not completely dissipated, a sharp and fierce protest broke through the air from high in the hall, tearing apart the originally solemn atmosphere.

The speaker was none other than Li Dexian. His voice was full of anger, like a fire burning a dead branch, pointing directly at the emperor: "Father, such a standard of judgment is really unconvincing to the public, and it is biased! If Li Yihao is unfortunately defeated, he should be punished What kind of punishment?”

When faced with doubts, Li Yihao's eyes did not flicker or flinch at all. His eyes were like still water in a deep pool, calm and composed.

He took a step forward, raised his hands to the sky, and spoke in a low and powerful voice, like a bell striking people's hearts: "Your Majesty, if unfortunately I am defeated, I am willing to resign from my high position and be demoted to the position of editor, so as to warn others. Strengthen yourself and temper your will.”

These words, in Lin Xiaofeng's ears, brought up an imperceptible sarcastic smile.

He looked sideways at Li Yihao, his eyes full of amusement and disdain - just now he had vowed to talk about risking his wealth and life, but now he changed his mind and was willing to be demoted to seek peace. The hearts of these scholars, who are full of poems and books, are like nine songs. It's as twists and turns as the Yellow River, ever-changing, but it can't be as refreshing and direct as real bets.

He spat in his heart, but his face remained calm. He just stood aside silently, watching the game of power indifferently, and he was already planning the next move in his mind.

··················································
As the court's morning session dispersed, as usual, the two figures of Li Dexian and Lin Xiaofeng once again intertwined and merged in the crowd, just like the shadows of each other under the rising sun every day, carrying the tacit understanding accumulated over the years.

At this moment, the tiredness of dawn still remains in their eyes, like roosters that have just woken up but have not yet cheered up. While rubbing their tired eyelids, they can't help but let out a long and deep yawn.

Li Dexian's face was full of resentment and unwillingness. These complex emotions condensed between his brows. His frown and trembling mouth corners all expressed his inner dissatisfaction, "What's the truth? It's simply inexplicable and unreasonable." I accepted a bet for no reason. If I lose, I'm afraid I will be forced to return to my hometown, Lao Lin."

Lin Xiaofeng stared at Li Dexian, his eyes showing understanding and helplessness, "You should have boldly rejected his challenge from the beginning. Wouldn't that be wiser?"

When Li Dexian heard this, his eyes widened instantly, and a touch of tenacity was reflected in the depths of his pupils, "Reject? Isn't that the same as directly admitting his failure? In this case, I am afraid that within two days, the prince will have to look down in despair. Return to the East Palace."

"In my opinion, the prince should indeed study more scriptures in his daily life so that he can have them at his fingertips when the emperor asks questions. Quoting the scriptures will definitely make the emperor happy. In this way, we can also avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles."

Lin Xiaofeng gently patted Li Dexian's strong back, as if trying to sow the seeds of wisdom into the other person's heart through this patting action, "Books are, after all, something we cannot ignore, and their value is inestimable.

Although I dare not boast that I am talented and knowledgeable, I can at least be said to be rich in learning.

Reading while busy is not contradictory, but can actually complement each other. "

He was thinking in his heart, from the elementary school where he was enlightened to the university where he studied knowledge, aside from other things, he had accumulated more than five cars of vernacular reading. If you add in the vast sea of ​​articles on the Internet, it would be five hundred Che's statement seems conservative, and this statement is definitely not groundless.

As Li Dexian listened to Lin Xiaofeng's teachings, the look of worry on his face became more intense, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, you're absolutely right! I'll take the time to read a book now, but at this critical juncture, I'm afraid it's really hard to cram for anything. late."

His tone was full of anxiety and urgency.

However, Lin Xiaofeng looked resolute, with a cunning and determined look in his eyes, like a bright light in the dark night, "So what if there are so many people? No matter how many people support Li Yihao, there are only two of us here, so there is no need to be afraid." ! I have a plan here - I still have tens of thousands of taels of silver in my hands. I just need to return to North Langfang and distribute them all to the people to promote the concept of sharing wealth. Wait until night and wait for an opportunity to ask the emperor to severely punish Li Yihao! "

Lin Feng's words were sonorous and powerful, showing a decisiveness that was as decisive as breaking the boat.

After listening to Lin Feng's plan, Li Dexian suddenly had a proud and cunning smile on his face, as if he saw a glimmer of hope, "I see, according to what you said, I seem to have figured out the solution. I'll go back and convene immediately. Brothers of the environmental protection team, let them completely overturn Jin Linfang and turn it into a desolate land, and then at night, I will implore my father to impose severe punishment on Li Yihao!"

His words were filled with determination and determination, as if he had foreseen the coming victory.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded approvingly, his eyes flashing with wisdom, which was the result of long-term practice. "Your Highness, this plan is very clever, and it is indeed one step ahead of others."

After hearing this, Li Dexian laughed and responded, "We are heroes and we have the same vision."

The two looked at each other and smiled. This smile contained endless trust and consensus. It seemed that at this moment, their fates were closely connected. In this tumultuous competition for power, they worked hand in hand and relied on wisdom and wisdom. Courage, vowing to win the final victory.

··················································
The small town of Beilangfang is like the corner of a splash-ink landscape painting, quietly waiting for two figures returning from a long journey - Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian.

The two stepped into this familiar yet unfamiliar land, as if travelers had finally found a place to live after a long journey. As soon as they stopped, they couldn't wait to splash their ink, and jointly painted a blueprint for the future full of unknown challenges and longings.

Li Yihao is a figure who bears the mark of the capital city. The pride and cultural heritage contained in his body are like treasures forged in the long river of history. Moreover, because of the shining No. 1 scholar crown above his head, his foundation is deep enough to match the thousands of years of history. Comparable to trees.

As long as he is determined to accomplish something, he will be like a magnet to attract all forces to gather and respond. The wealth and connections accumulated by those powerful people with long-standing heritage and prominent families are like towering mountains, which will invisibly make any potential competitors twice as powerful. Feeling stressed. Although Lin Xiaofeng's words were casual and comfortable, his heart was entangled with doubts and confusions that were constantly being cut and confused.

Facing this war-free wrestling match, he did not have full confidence in his ability to win.

He knew very well that if he really came to the point of no return, the bottom line he could do was to escort Li Dexian back to the deep and complicated East Palace, and once again get involved in the palace life where power is intertwined and people's hearts are unpredictable. .

At this time, North Langfang looks bustling and noisy on the outside, as if fireworks are rising endlessly in the world. However, if you peel off this appearance, it is actually the beginning of new shoots and an unstable foundation.

Although the people in the town have got rid of the struggle on the edge of survival and have begun to enjoy a certain degree of life security, however, it is still a thorny problem to truly achieve a fundamental leap in income growth and quality of life.

The next key step is to find a practical and effective way out of poverty, with precise drip irrigation, to nourish the soil, so that every family’s pocketbook can gradually become fuller, and ordinary people’s lives can be filled with real energy. Real warmth and abundance.

You must know that this is not the familiar land they have struggled with in Yangqu County. Although Lin Xiaofeng has countless ideas in his mind, he has not been able to find a clear path to follow in this brand-new territory, and everything in front of him is still shrouded. In the fog, the direction needs to be discovered.

Li Dexian on the other side seemed more pure and focused compared to Lin Xiaofeng's complicated mood.

It seems like the only thing left in his world is the environmental protection team that carries the suffering of the people and shoulders the mission of saving lives and healing the wounded.

He poured all his talents and energy into it without reservation. Behind every minute decision, he made this team stronger and stronger, and ensured the health and well-being of the villagers.

Li Dexian chose to deal with the comments or interest disputes from people around him indifferently, with only his determination to persevere and contribute in his eyes.

He longed to carve indelible traces of himself and the environmental protection team through actions on this affectionate soil. No matter how the wind and rain changed, his unswerving enthusiasm remained the same.

Li Dexian frowned and rubbed his scalp uneasily with his fingers, as if he was plowing out a barren land in his head, thinking hard about the way out of life.

He stared at the ground, with helplessness and confusion in his words, and confided to Old Lin beside him: "Old Lin, I have been thinking about it for a long time. Apart from sweeping the floor and digging out excrement, I know nothing about other crafts. ah."

When Lao Lin heard this, deep recognition appeared on his face, and there was also an indescribable distress in his eyes.

Like Li Dexian, he was tightly entangled with this issue and fell into a deep entanglement.

He knew that if he wanted to make the pockets of the villagers bulge, he had to give them something to do and a job to work for.

However, whether it is Beilangfang in front of us or the bustling capital city, more than 90% of the people are still farmers with their backs to the sky and their backs to the sky. Their lives depend entirely on the one-third of an acre of land.

The current social environment in Jingjiang State does not allow them to have more illusions. The buds that breed capitalism are far from breaking through the ground, and large-scale industrial recruitment is even further out of reach.

Although there are some small workshops in the market, most of them are run by family units, and recruitment of workers from outside is extremely rare.

Although Yangqu County's development model can draw on external forces, it is limited to self-nourishment in a small area and is of little help in solving the employment problem of the entire region.

How can North Langfang rely on blood transfusions for a long time to survive in such a big capital? He smiled bitterly to himself. He was not a wealthy man, so how could he get so much money to fill this bottomless pit? I can't help but think of Li Yihao who is far away. I wonder what his opinion is on this current situation and whether he has found a clever way to solve this people's livelihood dilemma.

··················································
Ever since Emperor Jingjiang's thunderous decision took root, Li Yihao, a talented and sought-after scholar in the capital, who was born into a noble family, had a reputation that had already penetrated the hearts of the people like spring thunder.

At that time, everyone who had interacted with him, both in the government and in the public, was an elegant scholar and thoughtful political dignitary who was well-read in poetry and books. Their conversations often touched on deep-seated topics about the country, the country, and the sufferings of the people.

Because of this, Li Yihao developed a rock-solid self-confidence in his heart - facing the seemingly ordinary area of ​​Jin Linfang, he determined that he could drive it as easily as taking out his belongings from his pocket.

Although the glorious aura of Taifu faded, Li Yihao did not lose his luster. Instead, he continued to serve as a bachelor's lecturer. His future career was like the rising sun, radiant and full of potential.

This time, he decisively set up a bet. On the surface, he was acting as an assistant to the prince, but in fact, he was hiding a secret mechanism to target Lin Xiaofeng. He intended to become famous through this move and completely trample his opponent.

Just imagine, if you don't know what's going on, how can you dare to take on the important task of inspection as an attendant?

As soon as word of this kind of ambition and heroic spirit spread, most people in the bachelor's academy admired and expressed their support one after another. In the circle of scholars and officials, the praise for Li Yihao was endless, and many scholars flocked to talk to him.

On the other hand, Lin Xiaofeng's situation is completely different.

His background is humble, and his behavior often reveals vulgarity and roughness, which often attracts people to look at him with contempt. Apart from the tricks of flattering and flattering, it is really difficult to find any commendable real talents.

Li Yihao understood this clearly. In this duel that was about personal honor and disgrace and decided the future direction, he clearly realized that as long as he could dominate Lin Xiaofeng, then regaining the authority of the Prince's Division would no longer be far away. The stars are a goal within reach.

After hearing about Li Yihao's actions, the Military and Horse Division responded quickly without hesitation and selected a group of smart and capable officials under their command, who were dispatched and commanded by Li Yihao.

Not only that, even Shuntian Mansion, which always focused on practical results, was not to be outdone and sent an elite team to Jin Linfang to assist Li Yihao.

In terms of material and financial preparations, whether it is the ready-made resources in his hands or the solid support provided by the strong backers behind him, Li Yihao firmly believes that he can firmly grasp the advantages and ensure that he will always beat Lin Xiaofeng in this competition. .

When Li Yihao set foot on Jinlinfang, a land that was in urgent need of rectification, his first step was directed to the location of Si Yamen.

I saw that his steps were steady and powerful, each step seemed to be stepping on a solid foundation, and there was an aura of calmness and determination in every move and every move he made.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the yamen, he immediately summoned all the officers in the yamen. Everyone held their breath and waited for the new chief's instructions.

The scene at this moment is like a delicately sketched market folk painting. As the protagonist of the picture, Li Yihao has a full image and a lively expression. He is getting ready to use his economic skills to rebuild the country.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the crowd, Li Yihao stood on a high platform like a stone statue. His eyes were like an eagle overlooking the weak sheep, looking at the crowd of government officials below with indifference and majesty.

His face was so dark that it seemed as if the entire autumn lake had settled. His thin lips were tightly closed, and no words were about to escape from that solemn mouth.

Although those people were seemingly subordinates who depended on their lives, in Li Yihao's eyes, their status was so humble that they were almost negligible, like tiny specks of dust in the dust, hardly noticeable.

The skill of controlling subordinates is to be dignified without being angry, especially when dealing with these servants whose status is far lower than his own. Li Yihao knows that he must maintain the noble majesty derived from his family lineage.

He stared at the group of people in front of him. Their clothes were old and shabby, their behavior was rough and rude, their faces were full of sophistication and fatigue, and there was no trace of otherworldliness at all.

He thought to himself, since he was the top scorer in the imperial examination and came from a famous family, how could he lower his status to talk to these low-level subordinates at will?
The servants in the audience all felt the invisible pressure. They lowered their heads, averted their gazes, and even breathed carefully, for fear that any movement would touch Li Yihao's sullen anger.

In this feudal era, class concepts have been deeply imprinted in everyone's soul, becoming an insurmountable gap.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and Li Yihao still maintained that suffocating silence, as if he was storing up an unexploded thunder.

Finally, a bold foreman mustered up all his courage, bowed slightly, and said in a trembling voice as soft as a mosquito: "It is truly a great honor for us, Mr. Li, to condescend to come to Jin Linfang. I wonder if you need to humble yourself now?" Can you give a brief introduction to the basic situation in the workshop?"

"No need to rush."

When Li Yihao heard this, an almost hard-to-catch look of disgust quickly flashed across his eyes, and a cold and hard line formed at the corner of his mouth, "Although I only serve as a bachelor's student, I am now also the master of the people, and I am responsible for A great responsibility to govern a place.”

His words were like stones falling into a well, crisp and powerful, echoing endlessly in the spacious hall, "The purpose of my personal visit to Jin Linfang this time is to get rid of old evils, boost people's livelihood, and restore simple customs. However, what I saw along the way was that the city Various people from all religions and professions gathered on the street. The vendors were shouting and selling along the street, their voices hoarse; the pedestrians all had shabby clothes and haggard faces."

"Although ordinary people are simple, they are also ignorant. They openly bargain loudly with merchants in broad daylight. This behavior is undoubtedly a blasphemy and destruction of etiquette."

His words suddenly paused, and his sharp gaze pierced forward like a sharp blade, "When it comes to governing the people, the first thing is education and guidance. The goal of my trip is to uphold the concept based on education and promote the change of customs, because this This is the fundamental path to building social stability and harmony.”

As Li Yihao finished speaking, it was like a breeze blowing away the stagnant air, causing the small officials below to look around as if guided by mysterious power, quietly looking at the clothes of their colleagues around them.

Looking up, everyone is wrapped in rough and simple fabrics. The color of the clothes is dull and the texture is rough. It seems that every fiber is telling the hardships and hardships of life at the bottom and the hardships of the years.

In stark contrast to them was the dazzling official robe worn by Li Yihao. Its luster was like the twinkling stars, revealing an unavoidable authority and awe-inspiring temperament, which instantly aroused an indescribable fear in the hearts of everyone. The feeling of humility is just like dust looking up to the sky, and a sense of awe for the sublime power arises spontaneously.

Among the crowd, a few bold little officials couldn't help their inner drive, carefully raised their eyes, and secretly glanced at Li Yihao.

Their eyes are intertwined with inquiry and uneasiness, like undulating lake water, reflecting complex mentality.

More minor officials lowered their humble heads, with respect and obedience between their brows, and nodded frequently in agreement with Li Yihao's sonorous and powerful admonitions.

Li Yihao observed this and accurately captured this subtle change. An almost imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, like the hot lava under the tip of the iceberg. Hidden under the cold appearance was a wealth of knowledge and illustrious military exploits.

Li Yihao was filled with emotion in his heart. It was indeed his fate that these ordinary subordinates could manage this land together with him.

So he held his chest high and his head high again, made a loud and contagious voice, and began a new round of impassioned speeches: "You know, if the original nature of the world has not been tempered by wind and rain, how can it wash away the glitz and realize life? Sublimation and transformation? If you want to change the people and lead them onto the right path, the only way is to immerse them in the ocean of wisdom of the sages and listen devoutly to the voice of the great road. Only by perseverance, day after day, can you quietly Silently cleansing away the bad habits of the world and refreshing people’s spiritual outlook.”

He waved his arms and pointed into the distance, his words filled with extremely firm determination: "Even though we only have three short months, I firmly believe that as long as our policies are implemented properly, the people of Jinlinfang will gradually become kind." , At that time, Jin Linfang will surely achieve a harmonious scene where the doors are open at night without being violated, and the lost items on the road are not picked up, thus becoming a benchmark of virtue in the capital city!"

At this moment, his words became more and more passionate, as shocking as thunder and rolling stones: "Prick up your ears and listen clearly!"

Immediately afterwards, he decisively ordered that from now on, every street in Jinlinfang must be cleaned twice as much to ensure that it is as clean as a mirror and spotless. This action shows his determination to reform and eradicate the old.

Not only that, Li Yihao also proposed a grand plan to set up study pavilions on both sides of every street in the square, so that scholars who are eager for knowledge can immerse themselves in the study of classics and history anytime and anywhere, and carry out academic exchanges.

In this way, no matter where you go, you will hear the melodious sound of reading echoing in the lanes. Over time, even the dullest peasant woman will understand what it means to be a saint through daily exposure. Tao, what is the conduct of a gentleman?

“This is the power of education, which is silent but omnipresent, just like the spring rain that moistens the earth, nourishes the growth of all things, awakens the conscience and virtues sleeping deep in people’s hearts, renews the entire social atmosphere, and makes the pace of civilization and progress more solid and powerful. "

In this stagnant moment, Li Yihao's name seemed to have been pressed by the finger of time, and he accumulated many memories of North Langfang's past in the abyss of thinking.

His eyes were deep and fiery, like glowing coals in a fire, carrying both his love and worries for this land.

His tough face is engraved with a delicate taste for historical textures. His fingertips lightly touch the table, and every tap seems to be plucking an unspoken historical chord. Each syllable reveals his profound knowledge of Beilangfang's heritage. Understanding and originality.

Even if Lin Xiaofeng is full of flaws, he is not completely without lessons. Deep in his heart, Li Yihao swears secretly that as long as he can catch even a glimmer of precious light from Lin Xiaofeng's behavior, he will be open-minded and choose the good; On the contrary, he regarded Lin Xiaofeng's various shortcomings as a warning, determined to reflect on himself, eliminate his own shortcomings, and pursue continuous sublimation and perfection.

"It is particularly important that from today onwards, vendors on the streets and alleys must operate in a regular manner and display their goods neatly and orderly. They must not set up stalls to sell at will and disturb the peace of residents. Otherwise, once confirmed, they will be severely punished!" Li Yihao's words were sonorous and powerful, like a bell striking people's hearts, resounding everywhere.

"In addition, price management in the city is very important, and we strive to maintain stability while lowering prices. If someone takes the opportunity to speculate and maliciously raise prices, once discovered, they must be arrested immediately and severely punished!"
