Chapter 76

In this delicate atmosphere, Wang Jingwen was like a keen cat. With many years of experience accompanying the king, he had already developed the ability to observe words and emotions. He caught the anxiety spreading from Emperor Jingjiang at the right time, and quickly approached with a respectful and considerate pace. He asked in a low and steady voice: "Your Majesty, what kind of precious thing are you looking for right now?" ? This slave is willing to go all out to help you solve your problems."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingjiang raised his hand and waved it gently, as if to brush away the haze in his heart. That momentary movement contained the emperor's determination and calmness. He cleverly changed the topic and turned his attention to more practical state affairs, but his words still showed deep concern for the work of his ministers: "Let's put this matter aside for the time being. I am more concerned about the lives of two adults, Lin Xiaofeng and Li Yihao. Effectiveness of governance. Are there any new changes or developments in the areas under their jurisdiction recently?"

Faced with the emperor's inquiry, Wang Jingwen reacted sharply, his eyes sparkling, and he responded with concentration: "To report to the emperor, Jin Linfang under the rule of Mr. Li Yihao, after his careful planning and thunderous management, is now presented. It created an outstanding scene. According to the detailed report of the imperial factory guard, it has become a vivid picture of the prosperous times. The streets and alleys are as clean as new and in order, as if they are a piece of intertwined warp and weft of heaven and earth. The exquisite long scroll is slowly unfolding before the eyes of the world. What is particularly worth mentioning is that Mr. Li is unique in convening a group of talented Confucian scholars who are well-read in poetry and books. They chant passionately among the pavilions and pavilions in the streets and alleys. The scene of an elegant gathering of literati, like ancient poems or delving into academic theories, is like the bright stars inlaid in the silent night sky, attracting an endless stream of pedestrians to stop their hurried steps and immerse themselves in this rich cultural atmosphere. , listen quietly, and indulge in the taste. This elegant fashion quietly enlightens the minds of the people, immersing them in the baptism of profound traditional etiquette culture, and allowing them to be influenced and gradually improve themselves."

What is particularly surprising is that in just a few days, the people in Jin Linfang seem to have undergone a transformation. The street vendors in the past began to wash away the vulgarity from their bodies one by one. They all learned to behave like gentlemen, and no longer made loud noises wantonly and indulgently. Instead, their calm and orderly steps and The right sense of propriety in his words and deeds. Scholars in the community, whether they are talents who have not yet made their mark or those who have great ambitions, all praise Mr. Li's political skills and regard it as a deeply rooted educational strategy. They firmly believe that as long as enough time is given to brew, it will be effective. This well-intentioned effort will surely awaken the common people to consciously follow the etiquette and law, and lead them step by step towards the sacred utopia of "denying oneself and restoring etiquette" that Confucius once tried his best to advocate.

In this heartfelt emotion, Wang Jingwen made this summary in his deeply admiring and unswerving tone: "In a word, Mr. Li's achievements in Jin Linfang are impressive and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. His practical actions It has won the heartfelt support and love of the people. Today, Jinlinfang is glowing with vitality, filled with beautiful pictures of harmonious coexistence, like a vivid paradise, standing in this prosperous world A corner of."

Every brick, brick, tile, person and thing in that district has quietly undergone earth-shaking changes under Mr. Li's careful hard work. The eyes of the vendors are less cunning and more sincere, and their smiles are mixed with philistineness and elegance, forming a unique charm; the bamboo slips and ink in the hands of the readers seem to be stained with the brilliance of Master Li's wisdom. Be more attentive when studying scriptures and more rational when discussing current events. These subtle changes were like the drizzle of early spring moistening things silently, but they irresistibly changed the entire temperament of Jin Linfang.

Mr. Li himself has left a profound mark on every corner of the world. He appears in the bustling market, in the scholarly schools, and even on the threshold of ordinary people's homes. He didn't speak much, but every sentence was resounding. His every move showed his deep concern for the people's livelihood and his persistent pursuit of Confucian ideals.

Therefore, Wang Jingwen's impassioned speech was not only praising Mr. Li's outstanding political achievements, but also announcing to the world that Jinlinfang has become a model place for educating people and advocating etiquette. Every step of its growth and progress are strong evidences of Master Li’s way of governing the world. And under the guidance of that beautiful vision, Jin Linfang's future will undoubtedly be brighter and more worth looking forward to.

At this moment, the corners of Emperor Jingjiang's lips slowly unfolded into a philosophical smile, just like the traces of history carved on his face by the years. That arc contained the brilliance of wisdom after experiencing all the vicissitudes of life. The jasper porcelain cup he holds tightly in his hand is delicate and warm, just like a world in the palm of his hand. The hot tea contained in it is still rising, and every sip of hot tea juice falls on the tip of his tongue, seeming to tell his boundless wisdom in observing the changes in the world. .

"Li Aiqing, your talent is like a mirror in my heart, and I know that you are dedicated to your duties. However, in just a few days, you have created such remarkable achievements, which really surprises me." Although Emperor Jingjiang's words were understated, Like an undercurrent surging under the calm surface of a lake, it reveals deep recognition and sincere admiration for Li Yihao's outstanding contributions. His slightly raised eyebrows and meticulous movements of drinking tea are all delicate reflections of the approving emotions deep in the heart of this ambitious hegemon.

Behind this majesty, an indescribable regret appeared on the weather-beaten face of Emperor Jingjiang, just like the autumn water flowing over the withered lotus, silently flowing out of worry about the future of the country. He shook his head slightly, as if this moment's movement carried the heavy load of the Tian family's flesh-and-blood struggle. "Alas, the personality conflicts between the prince and Mr. Li are like incompatibility. The prince turns a blind eye to Mr. Li's pearl-like advice. If the prince can be open-minded and accept Mr. Li's unfathomable knowledge and insights, then the prince's In terms of growth and education, it must be more than enough.”

As he spoke, Emperor Jingjiang's eyes quietly shifted and locked onto another courtier, Lin Xiaofeng, as sharply as an eagle. He commented: "Lin Xiaofeng is talented and can occasionally stand out. However, his temperament is like a strong grass in the wind. He is free and unrestrained but lacks the calmness to remain calm in the face of great changes. For this reason, I often stay awake at night. As I sleep, my heart is filled with worries and uneasiness.”

When Wang Jingwen heard this, his face was as still as an ancient well, and his eyes were as silent as an abyss, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves. Although his face was as indifferent as usual, he murmured silently between his lips and teeth: "We don't need to get too involved in Lin Xiaofeng's matter. It is really useless to make unreasonable opinions. This person is not something we can mess with, so we should avoid it." You can still protect your family, but if you are not careful and touch a sensitive part with an inappropriate word, I am afraid that it will arouse the emperor's thunderous wrath, and the power of heaven is unpredictable." He wanted to refute one or two things, but he was afraid of the great power of the emperor and was deeply affected by it. Knowing that flattering people is not his strength, he could only sigh sadly in his heart, complaining about the twists of fate, how could he be allowed to dance with Lin Xiaofeng in the game of power in this court where dragons and snakes are mixed!
Emperor Jingjiang spoke again, his words flowing in the quiet air like cold mountain springs, and the topic quietly turned to Lin Xiaofeng's recent activities. When Wang Jingwen heard this, his throat seemed to be tightened by invisible hands, and the words rolled over and over on his tongue, unable to express them clearly. Lin Xiaofeng's complex situation in Beilangfang was really intricate, tangled, and extremely confusing.

Emperor Jingjiang's eyes were sharp and attentive, and he caught the subtle changes in Wang Jingwen. His sharp eyes were raised slightly, and his piercing gaze came straight at him, asking: "Why are you suddenly speechless?" Wang Jingwen's face suddenly turned red, and he was embarrassed. His emotions were overwhelming. He forced himself to calm down and replied with a slightly trembling voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, that corner of North Langfang does have its own unique features. Let's not mention other things for now. Just talking about public health management, it is widely rumored that it is strict. The level is second to none.”

Wang Jingwen continued to narrate, and the muscles on his face changed with the words, outlining a subtle expression: "However, according to the factory guard's secret report, a shocking thing happened there - just because of spitting. Or for something as trivial as urinating, ordinary people were caught by petty officials in Beilangfang." At this moment, his words were intertwined with careful statements of facts and subtle comments on Lin Xiaofeng's political methods.

This series of events spread like wildfire among the people, causing an uproar, just like a stone thrown into a quiet lake, causing ripples to spread in all directions. Emperor Jingjiang, instead of showing anger at this information, looked up to the sky and laughed. The laughter was as loud as a bell, deep and far away, as if everything was under his control. He smiled and said: "Haha, Lin Xiaofeng, Lin Xiaofeng, I have already foreseen that his methods and uniqueness in Beilangfang may be even better than those in Yangqu County, or even worse." Laughing. In the poem, Emperor Jingjiang showed his admiration and fun for Lin Xiaofeng's unique insights, as if he had already understood his true face in Lushan.

Emperor Jingjiang's smile was like a picture with hidden ingenuity, shimmering with a cunning and bright luster, like a piece of jade that had been tempered by time, inlaid with a unique charm on his face. When he slowly recounted the past inspection in Yangqu County, his words were full of joking and self-deprecation: "I think back on those days, I casually spit on the ground because of a thought, but unexpectedly I was caught by Lin Xiaofeng, who had sharp eyes and quick hands. He made a move and even paid a fine of several copper coins for it!" His eyes were sparkling and extremely agile, as if he could travel through layers of time curtains and bring people back to that embarrassing yet interesting moment.

However, Emperor Jingjiang's smile quietly faded away like the setting sun, and his face turned into a solemn and solemn expression. This change did not escape the keen eyes of his personal courtier Wang Jingwen. Wang Jingwen observed his words, immediately put away his smile, adjusted his tone according to the rhythm of Emperor Jingjiang, and said with a smile: "Master Lin's methods of managing environmental sanitation are indeed unique and severe. Although he punished just for spitting, it seems that It’s extremely harsh, but it’s actually about adhering to public order.”

Wang Jingwen continued to elaborate in a calm and hesitant tone, as if every word he uttered was weighed repeatedly in his heart: "It is said that in today's North Langfang, even the towering city walls have not been spared, and they have all been painted He issued eye-catching slogans and slogans to remind people to pay attention to public health and strictly prohibit open defecation." He paused slightly, as if sorting out his thoughts, then bit the tip of his tongue and made up his mind to reveal an even more bizarre government matter: "What's even more incredible is that Mr. Lin also introduced a new policy called 'toilet lottery'."

When Emperor Jingjiang heard this, his originally calm face suddenly seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand between his brows, and there were two deep furrows in his face. His eyes were as sharp as a torch, full of confusion and doubts, and he stared at Wang Jingwen, as if the four words "toilet lottery" were a breeze, passing over the lake of his memory without causing too many ripples. Until this moment, after Wang Jingwen mentioned it again, Emperor Jingjiang seemed to wake up from the fog and pick up the dusty memory again. However, the words "toilet lottery" echoed in his mind, triggering a series of questions that were difficult to solve, tangled together like a tangled mess. He couldn't understand why the toilet matter could be linked to the lottery. The logic was absurd, full of dramatic conflicts and irony, but behind the seemingly unreasonable, there was a vague hint of some profound social truth. Philosophy is waiting for people to discover and interpret it.

Wang Jingwen's face was deeply rosy, like a tomato roasted to perfection by the summer sun. He wore a forced smile. This bitter smile contained a complex emotion, which was both a response to the absurd reality. Helpless ridicule, but also with deep sympathy for the people's livelihood sufferings. He continued to talk about it, revealing to the audience the "toilet lottery" strategy that made people laugh in amazement after hearing it - this incredible measure was said to be an idea that the government came up with to guide people to use public toilets more. A clever trick. Every time someone steps into a public toilet and relieves their physiological needs, they automatically receive a ticket to the mysterious lottery. In this strange game, the most eye-catching first prize is It turned out to be a generous reward worth up to five taels of silver.

However, as Wang Jingwen told the story, a hint of imperceptible embarrassment and pain flashed across his eyes, and then he described the actual repercussions of this policy in detail. "Unfortunately, such a well-designed plan did not win the support and praise of the general public. Instead, it attracted a wave of doubts and criticism. Public opinion was boiling, and people were talking about it. They believed that the government's move was tantamount to tempting and defrauding with small profits. People frequently visit public toilets, but in reality, the promised rewards often turn out to be unrealistic. After several rounds of lottery events, many people in North Langfang came with high expectations, but ultimately returned with empty hands and resentment in their hearts. and disappointment. These disappointments accumulate and turn into raging anger, so much so that some people would rather travel long distances to remote areas on the outskirts of the city to find a hidden place to solve their urgent problems than set foot in any public toilet in North Langfang. Even if the government allows He even offered gold and silver as compensation, but they regarded him as if he were a loser and were determined not to be moved, just because of the scars of being deceived and their insistence on justice and integrity."

At this moment, in a corner deep in the palace, Emperor Jingjiang was sitting upright. What he heard in his ears made his face change instantly like turning the pages of a book. It was a subtle wave of emotions hidden deep in the texture of his skin and wandering in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes. . The celadon tea cup that he was holding leisurely in his hand, and the clear green tea soup, seemed to be sucked away by an invisible force in an instant. All the freshness and elegance were left behind, leaving only an indescribable bitterness, just like he The complicated feeling in my heart at this moment.

His frown was like mountains and rivers. He placed the tea cup heavily back on the table, making a dull sound, like thunder in his heart, and finally turned into a sentence full of sullen words: "Why is this! Lin Xiaofeng's move, It is really too rash and out of proportion. Apart from the cleverness of these fools, does he have no intention of doing something real?" As he spoke, Emperor Jingjiang's dissatisfaction was like a river bursting its embankment, gushing out.

At this moment, Emperor Jingjiang was shrouded in doubts, his thoughts were swirling, and he even began to waver in the factory guard information that he had always trusted. After all, in his memory, the Lin Xiaofeng of Yangqu County in the past was by no means the kind of person who was obsessed with power and scheming. A practical person.

Wang Jingwen on the side saw Emperor Jingjiang's face solemn, and the worry in his heart became more and more intense. His face was helpless, and every word in his mouth seemed to be carrying more than a thousand pounds of pressure: "Besides, I have not captured it yet. Regarding Lin Xiaofeng’s further deeds. His current series of actions has made Wei Chen feel as if he has fallen into an embarrassing situation like talking in the dark. "

Emperor Jingjiang's face was shrouded in gloom at this moment, and his gaze quietly shifted, looking deeply in the direction of the prince, like the last touch of darkness before dawn, looking for a glimmer of light. His voice was deep and powerful, and the subject of the conversation suddenly changed, asking everyone a new question: "What major matters related to the country and the country have the prince been busy with recently?"

The moment when Lin Xiaofeng splashed ink, it was like thick and colorful wolf hair soaked with emotion, settling heavily on the delicate fibers of the scroll of Emperor Jingjiang's heart, leaving an indelible mark. His strategizing was not only to tailor His Royal Highness to the body and carefully sew a government affairs robe consistent with his status, but also to single-handedly assemble a huge array of thousands of people. It was an army called Environmental Protection The Iron-Blooded Great Wall of the brigade stood majestically among the fireworks and dust in the alleys. The majesty of its lineup attracted people from all over the world to stop and look at it with amazement.

This team is like a fortress waiting for orders. It is given important responsibilities and is led by the prince himself. Its daily mission is to deeply clean up and rectify the environment inside and outside the factory. Its influence even crosses the boundaries between cities and towns. , the advancement of various tasks is like a loom with exquisite structure and rigorous operation, with every detail and clear warp and weft, turning the giant wheel of life in an orderly manner. When Emperor Jingjiang heard about this, the lines on his face that were originally tight due to the complicated affairs of the government quietly relaxed like the rain coming from a long-drought land, and his solemn expression slightly relaxed with a touch of unnoticeable relief. In the eyes of ordinary people, there seems to be nothing outstanding about the prince's command of such a seemingly trivial sanitation army. However, behind Emperor Jingjiang's unfathomable eyes, what is reflected is his far-sightedness in governing the country and handling government affairs. He knew very well that the prince had practiced on the battlefield and experienced the hardships of commanding thousands of troops. Now he was working hard on this inconspicuous detail. It was a different kind of honing of his ability to govern the country and secure the country. It was a unique and precious way of training.

Emperor Jingjiang lowered his jaw and lowered his eyebrows. His deep eyes were filled with admiration. His words came out calmly from his throat, as if they were struck by gold and stone: "Lin Xiaofeng's move is really a demonstration of the prince's education and training." He has unique ingenuity and achieved great results, which shows that he has worked hard to achieve the results he has today."

At this moment, Emperor Jingjiang secretly sighed in his heart. Lin Xiaofeng's techniques not only have the rich texture of the bottom of life, but also have the wisdom and strategy of the temple. Every step of the prince's growth is full of ups and downs of stories and allegories, which is in line with reality. Logic, but also contains profound implications. And all these arrangements and descriptions are vividly reflected in this brigade carrying the mission of environmental protection, like a condensed novel chapter, reflecting the twists and turns and glory of governing the world.

"The prince works with his own hands every day, walking firmly throughout his vast territory. Every inch of land is imprinted with his footprints, like a persevering benchmark, silent but majestic and powerful, directly inserted into the people of Li. In his heart. Every move he made followed the law, and he carefully avoided noise so as not to disturb the tranquility and harmony of the people's lives. As a result, in the streets and alleys, the voices of praise for the prince were like streams trickling, gathering into a river."

Emperor Jingjiang was in the palace, and his ears were often filled with the good stories about the prince among the people. When he heard it, a deep and comforting smile quietly bloomed from the corners of his tight lips, as if the warm sunshine in autumn fell on the harvest. On the rice field, he once again praised the prince Lin Xiaofeng: "Putting aside many complicated and trivial matters, from the perspective of educating the people, Lin Xiaofeng is indeed unique and ingenious. He is a rare talent."

However, in this seemingly calm court, Wang Jingwen's heart was full of waves and undercurrents. His delicate insight captured a hint of hidden worry, and the worry revealed between his brows was difficult to conceal. His words were rigorous, full of prudence and respect, and he addressed Emperor Jingjiang: "Your Majesty, should you consider issuing an imperial edict to give Lord Lin Xiaofeng a slight warning and remind him to adjust his country-governing strategy in a timely manner? After all, if you focus too much on a certain In one field, such as environmental remediation, over time, I am afraid that his overall governance capabilities will be somewhat deficient compared to Mr. Li in the eyes of the world."

At this moment, Emperor Jingjiang was leisurely savoring the fragrant tea in his hand. Faced with Wang Jingwen's worries, he did not show the slightest panic. Instead, he calmly and calmly put down the tea cup in his hand, and there was a flow of water in his words. He said indifferently and calmly: "My dear, there is no need to worry too much. No matter how the outside world evaluates people who are truly talented and knowledgeable, their inner qualities and talents will not be easily shaken. Whether I give them a reprimand or not does not actually determine them. direction of action. We might as well give them two months to let practice verify their respective political achievements. At that time, we will make a fair judgment based on the actual situation, which is the most appropriate thing to do."

In this solemn and solemn hall, a thin but vigorous little eunuch galloped in like a bolt of lightning. He held a volume of urgent memorials tightly in his hand like a treasure, with a look of awe on his face. He walked quickly to the dragon chair and reported respectfully to Emperor Jingjiang: "Long live my Lord, I have received news that Lin Xiaofeng, Lord Lin, has urgent matters that need to be reported."

Emperor Jingjiang's originally slightly tired face instantly glowed brightly after hearing the news. His eyes were like candles in the dark night, suddenly becoming blazing under the strong wind. He solemnly and decisively delivered his decree: "Send it up!"

Wang Jingwen, a high-ranking and thoughtful minister, took action immediately after hearing the news. His steps were light and steady, like a cat walking without making any sound. He walked up to the young eunuch, carefully took the urgent memorial from him, and then handed it to Emperor Jingjiang respectfully.

While submitting the memorial, Wang Jingwen couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart. He noticed that Emperor Jingjiang was rummaging anxiously among the piles of memorials, which made him wonder whether Emperor Jingjiang had been looking forward to this memorial from Lin Xiaofeng?

The moment Emperor Jingjiang took over the memorial, his fingers gently touched the page, feeling a familiar temperature and texture. He opened the memorial and scanned the writings one by one. Wang Jingwen, on the other hand, could not restrain his inner curiosity and took a cautious sideways look.

On the memorial, Lin Xiaofeng's handwriting was flowing freely like a violent storm. His brushwork is rough and wild, and every word stands as tall as a rock, huge and clearly legible. Every word reveals his respect and concern for His Majesty - "My most beloved and respected Majesty, are you in good health at this moment? Have you eaten? I have not submitted any memorial to you for two days. The coldness increased sharply last night, so I pray that your majesty will put on more clothes and take care of the holy body."

Emperor Jingjiang's fingers were like hesitating butterflies, dancing between the words of the memorial. His deep eyes scanned every line of ink like a swift arrow. Then, with an almost pious solemnity, he slowly closed the memorial. , the page carrying countless thoughts quietly slipped to a corner of the Long Case. At this moment, his face seemed to have been carved with new lines by the years, which were traces of relief after unloading a heavy expectation, as if a traveler with a heavy burden finally arrived at a temporary inn. He exhaled slowly and deeply. This breath of air passed through the silence of the hall, like an ancient poem that no one listened to but was sung quietly, swirling and echoing in the air, filling every room in the hall. corner.

In this majestic and empty hall, Emperor Jingjiang's figure seemed particularly lonely and resolute. He was accustomed to receiving unique memorials from Lin Xiaofeng every two days at the turn of day and night. The unique charm of those characters that appear on the paper is like clear spring water surging from the depths of time, quietly infiltrating his monotonous and complicated world of government affairs. At this moment, when he once again grasped this familiar memorial, the long-lost breath of words came to his face, as if he had found a solemn ritual that had been lost for a while, and it was also an emotional support deep in his soul. Every time you read it, it is like lighting up a lamp that illuminates the inner wasteland, adding a bit of poetry and warmth to the boring imperial life.

··················································· ···
The five days were like a stream of gurgling water, quietly slipping through the fingers of life inadvertently. In a daze, what was delivered from Yangqu County was not the usual bits and pieces in the world, but something heavy in weight, like a pile of bricks and stones. A thick stack of brochures, numbering in the thousands. This stack of paper carries not only ink marks and patterns, but also a moving historical scroll. As each page is turned, the image of shopkeeper Liu emerges vividly, just like the soul on the scroll breaks away from the shackles of the plane. His smile is honest and warm, as if it has the power to penetrate the back of the paper. His innocence and enthusiasm seem to burst out of the paper at any time and jump into the real world.

Shopkeeper Liu's face is engraved with the ravines of time, but he reveals endless simplicity and sincerity in the vicissitudes of life. His eyes are deep and focused, and the sincere feelings seem to be condensed into entities, flowing out from his eyes, infecting everyone. A person who watches. One of his big hands pointed firmly at the sky. The gesture was like a carefully carved oath by a sculptor. It was resolute and determined, full of expectations and beliefs for the future; the other hand gently held a piece of delicate pastry, on top of the pastry. A resounding slogan is engraved on it: "Liuji Grocery Store, thanks to the blessing of the abbot of the White Horse Temple, the whole store has been consecrated and prayed by respected monks one by one. All customers who patronize the store in the early morning light will receive a gift of gold upon purchase." Opportunities to gain blessings of increased blessings and longevity, and when the sun sets, there are even more unexpected surprise discounts waiting for every guest who comes."

Under this sonorous and powerful advertising slogan, lines of text as detailed as dust are arranged in an orderly manner. They are low-key and restrained, as if to find a balance for the passionate emotions: "The above is only a summary of the promotion, more details For more detailed information, please visit our store for enquiries." Such an ingenious and creative advertising technique made even Lin Xiaofeng, who is used to seeing the bustling world and reading countless people, couldn't help but be stunned by this, and there was an unspeakable feeling deep in his heart. Shocked, as if being awakened by an unprecedented power to a new understanding of life and business wisdom. In this complex and delicate description, the image of shopkeeper Liu becomes more and more full and three-dimensional, and the vivid scenes blend together to construct a story chapter that is both life-like and philosophical. It is the poet who The unique and deeply rooted narrative charm lies in the writing.

Looking back to the past, the painter had a passionate artistic intention, aiming to express his artistic style, capture the unique urban atmosphere of Liu Ji Grocery Store, and cast it into a vivid and expressive picture. However, things are unpredictable, just like the sudden waves on the river, a change like Cheng Yaojin's happened halfway - Shopkeeper Liu, an old man who is over sixty years old but still has his backbone, is not willing to just be the background of the picture scroll, insisting on turning his The figure is imprinted in it, and he personally drafted a series of amazing advertising copywriting, just like a creative master hidden in the market.

Faced with such a sudden turn of events, Lin Xiaofeng secretly felt deep respect for Shopkeeper Liu. Although time flies by and has quietly cast pale frost on his temples, the shopkeeper still burns an immortal dream of stardom in his chest, which is so intense that it can melt copper and iron. What is even more astonishing is that he dared to touch the golden signboard that was heavy in the hearts of the villagers - the White Horse Temple. In order to prosper the grocery store and accumulate wealth, he resolutely moved it to the chessboard of the commercial war. This kind of courage and courage is really rare in the world.

Although Shopkeeper Liu has entered his old age, he still maintains strong vitality and ambition. He is like a horse that has been on the battlefield for a long time and its hooves are tired but still eager to gallop thousands of miles. A strong aura of a hero. His every move is an interpretation of how an ordinary little person can write an extraordinary life chapter in ordinary life with wisdom and courage. His perseverance and unyielding spiritual power not only won the respect of his neighbors, but also shone with dazzling brilliance in the fireworks of life, making him a legendary story passed down by word of mouth in this land and water.

Under this situation, Lin Xiaofeng's heart was filled with sincere admiration and deep admiration, like a humble student seeking knowledge, fully accepting the business experience that Shopkeeper Liu had devoted his efforts to weaving. The talented painter is like a sharp-eyed hunter, searching for the clues left by his prey in the mist. He holds the brush in his hand as an extremely sharp detector and meticulously depicts every detail on Shopkeeper Liu's face. An expression line full of vicissitudes of time, meticulously carving the marks carved by time on his face. After countless polishing and tempering, a lifelike portrait of Shopkeeper Liu was finally achieved.

As soon as this work, which carries countless stories, was finished, I couldn't wait to embark on the journey to Yangqu County, where I looked forward to undergoing the sacred baptism of the ancient engraving reproduction technology, and allowing the image of shopkeeper Liu to travel through time and space with the scent of ink on the wooden board. .

In the ancient land of Yangqu County, the older generation of craftsmen are like stone tablets of wisdom polished over the years. Their vision is unique and profound. Facing Lin Xiaofeng, a well-connected and popular young man, their attitude was extraordinary. Their love for him was palpable. They were all willing to teach him everything they had, even at the expense of profits, close to the cost or even Build what he needs at a price lower than cost. The lifelike, simple and friendly portraits of Shopkeeper Liu were born in the hands of these old craftsmen, as if they were magical glue extracted from the depths of time, tightly pasted on the back of every environmental protection team member, giving them Their role transcends the city's guardians - they are transformed into walking, three-dimensional paintings full of vitality, circulating in the streets and alleys. No matter whether the sun is clear or the sky is rainy, they are burdened with this heavy art, like a An "oral ballad machine" that does not require external drive and broadcasts in a self-circulating cycle, repeatedly chants the deeply rooted advertising slogan until the sentence is deeply imprinted in the deepest heart of every passer-by like a knife.

However, amid the hidden business background under this prosperous scene, Lin Xiaofeng was not intoxicated by the diversified interests before him. He quietly launched an in-depth investigation into the undercurrents of the undercurrents of society, and his sharp eyes penetrated everything like searchlights. Rumors penetrated the streets quietly like the cool breeze in the night, revealing that several small gangs in the community were being violently impacted by Ma Laosan's thunder. Now they are in a mess, disintegrating and drifting away. The few fringe characters who are still hanging on are just struggling to maintain their existence. It is obvious that they are only a handful away from completely disappearing into thin air. Lin Xiaofeng was not at all shocked by this scene. On the contrary, he felt a sense of calm relief that his prediction had come true. Because in this splendid and prosperous world, he knew very well that brothels, green houses and casinos were the fertile places for wealth. To be able to stand firmly on the tide of such muddy water, Ma Laosan was by no means an ordinary person. His profound strength and skills are enough to devour other gangs. Just like the law of the jungle in nature, the strong will always be strong and the weak will eat the strong. This is the inevitable trend of the development of things, not the result of luck.

After several winter and summer reincarnations, day and night strategizing, Lin Xiaofeng's tough as iron heart and soul, like a sword that has been sharpened over the years, has been tempered on the millstones of the years, and finally broke through the fog in the chaos, as precise as an arrow. The ground penetrated Ma Laosan's hidden shelter. His expression was calm, but there was a turbulence in it. He calmly summoned a group of smart and capable officials. These people were like lone beasts in the jungle at night. Every look in their eyes was burning with insightful energy and resolute determination. In this team, there are two heavyweights standing impressively. One is Li Dexian, who is well-known in the Beicheng Military and Horse Division, and the other is Brother Xin, who is famous for his thunderous methods. The two of them stand side by side, their figures Towering like a mountain, stable as a rock, unshakable.

This group of people were like a dark cloud that was ready to go, and with a majestic momentum that would rather be broken than destroyed, they moved quickly towards the predetermined goal without hesitation. What is shocking is that Ma Laosan, who is as cunning as a fox, actually set up his lair in one of the most prestigious brothels in the city. The gold characters on the signboard are already mottled, as if silently telling the story of the past prosperity and changes in the world. .
