Seeing the sacred archway that had stood tall for a hundred years suddenly collapse, everyone present, be it the great scholars or the young talents, were all stunned and speechless. The words' Jade Virtue Immortal Market 'were undoubtedly the mental pillar that had been formed in their hearts for many years. Yet now, it had collapsed right before their eyes, and this sort of powerlessness from losing their pillar was truly indescribable with words. However, this powerful Lord Lin had surrounded the Sacred Market with all his weapons and cannons. These scholars, who had studied hard for many years, frowned and were helpless.
Although Xiao Qingxuan wanted to break off relations with the Sacred Market for her husband, she still felt terrible at this moment. Looking at the broken walls of the archway, she could only let out a deep sigh.
Scholar Jing An's body trembled violently and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Suddenly, she shouted frantically, "Where are the Martial Sect's disciples?"
"Yes, Master!" With an orderly shout, a dozen or so women walked out from the crowd. They were graceful and valiant, with swords hanging on their waists. Li Xiangjun, the girl who had guided Lin Wanrong into the sect, was among them. She was secretly winking at Xiao Qingxuan.
Scholar Jing An used all the strength in her body and shouted, "This Lin San has humiliated my Sacred Market, severed my bloodline, and destroyed my thousand-year foundation. I order all of you to kill Lin San with all your might, and you will not rest until he is dead! "
The women looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. They timidly looked at Xiao Qingxuan and said softly, "Senior Sister …"
Xiao Qingxuan sighed helplessly, "Junior Sisters, I have studied and studied with all of you, and we are as close as brothers. I really don't want to see such a scene happen today. Master has not returned from the mountain, so I don't dare to give orders without permission. However, I believe all of you have heard what my husband said just now. The Sacred Market has stood strong for a hundred years, and although it has made contributions, there are still many unsatisfactory aspects. Junior Sisters, please think about it carefully before making a decision. "
So these were the disciples of Fairy Ning. Looking at them all with swords on their backs and their beautiful appearances, Lin Wanrong shook his head. The so-called heavy responsibility of protecting the Jade Virtue Immortal Market had fallen on the shoulders of these young girls. Those scholars who were well-read were powerless in the face of a true disaster. It was truly lamentable. The old saying that scholars misled the country really did have some truth.
Li Xiang Jun, who was standing in the last row, had tears in her eyes. She was the youngest among them, but she had her own opinion. She suddenly turned to Jing An and said loudly, "Dean, do you have any evidence for Lin San destroying my Sacred Workshop? Did he say something wrong, or did he do something wrong? He and my Senior Sister are truly in love, what's wrong with that? The Sacred Workshop has been passed down for thousands of years. Why doesn't it work on Senior Sister? Could it be as Big Brother Lin had said, that the Sacred Workshop was about 'destroying the Human Dao and seeking the Heavenly Dao'? Disciple doesn't understand, please enlighten me. "
"Disciple doesn't understand, please enlighten me!" The dozen or so disciples of Fairy Ning actually knelt down together and begged Jing An. These girls were all in their twenties, the most brilliant period of their lives. They had always yearned for the beautiful things between men and women, but they had been suppressed by the rules of the Sacred Workshop. Today, they saw that Miss Xiao, who was worshipped and loved by the entire Sacred Workshop, was willing to go against the entire Sacred Workshop for the sake of her marriage. Her spirit and bearing were admirable, and she had set a benchmark for the girls. Lin San's shocking words were even more enlightening, causing the young people of the Sacred Workshop to be more vigilant. As people of the secular world, between the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao, which one was more important?
Seeing that Li Xiang Jun had taken the lead to plead for mercy, coupled with the grace of her leading the way, a teenage girl actually had such courage and boldness, Lin Wanrong secretly nodded her head. Miss Xiao's eyes were filled with tears. She said softly, "Junior Sister treats me with sincerity. Lin Lang, if there's a conflict, please don't hurt my sisters."
"Of course. These Junior Sisters are as beautiful as flowers and jade. If they're hurt, they won't be able to marry in the future. That would be a great loss. "Lin Wanrong giggled. Xiao Qingxuan rolled her eyes at him with a faint smile.
"Oh no!" Lin Wanrong suddenly thought of something and slapped the back of his head. Miss Xiao hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"
Lin Wanrong pointed at Li Xiang Jun and said, "Is this Junior Sister called Li Xiang Jun?"
Xiao Qingxuan nodded and said with a smile, "She was the one who led you up the mountain. How come you don't even know her name?"
Lin Wanrong said helplessly, "She said it once, and I didn't pay attention. You know that I'm always indifferent to girls." Xiao Qingxuan's expression didn't change, and she automatically omitted the latter part of his sentence.
"Li Xiang Jun, Li Xiang Jun. I was wondering why this name sounded so familiar." Lin Wanrong pulled Miss Xiao's hand and quietly said, "This Junior Sister Xiang Jun, does she have a lover now?"
Xiao Qingxuan tenderly scolded. Her face was bright red as she said, "Don't talk nonsense. She's only thirteen or fourteen years old. How could she have a lover? Do you think they're all scoundrels like you? "
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "That's good. That's good. Qing Xuan, you must look after your Junior Sister well. If she meets any man with the surname Hou, it's best to beat that Young Master Hou to death, so as not to ruin Junior Sister's life. Remember this. Remember this. "
Miss Xiao didn't understand his words, but seeing that his expression was solemn and didn't seem to be joking, she lightly nodded. She didn't know where he got so many instructions from.
Seeing that the disciples of the Martial Sect had collectively rebelled against his will, Jing An's face turned even paler. His finger trembled as he pointed at Li Xiang Jun and the others and said, "Alright, could it be that even you want to rebel against my Yu De Immortal Market? I'll say it again. Kill Lin San as soon as possible without any delay! "
"How dare you! Do you want to rebel by plotting to kill an official of the imperial court? " Du Xiuyuan shouted loudly. The thousands of soldiers under him raised their swords and spears and surrounded the people of the Martial Sect. Countless archers pulled their bows and aimed at the people in the field. As long as Lin Wanrong gave the order, they would massacre the people of the Sacred Square.
The faces of the scholars in the field turned pale. They were all experts in writing poems, but when it came to swords and spears, there was nothing they could do.
Lin Wanrong laughed out loud. After taking two steps, his expression suddenly changed and he said, "Yu De Immortal Market claims to be equal to the heavens and wants to be independent of China. You even privately trained armed forces, endangered the safety of others and destroyed the stability of China. Just based on these two points, I can convict the Yu De Immortal Market of treason. "
"If you want to incriminate someone, you can always find a pretext." The scholar said loudly, "The disciples of the Yu De Immortal Market are all over the world. They won't let you do as you please. Even if I'm in front of the Emperor, I won't be afraid … "
The Emperor? Lin Wanrong chuckled. 'Even in death, you old nun still don't understand. Who exactly is the threat of this lousy workshop?' He waved his hand and the two cannons under Du Xiuyuan fired at the same time, causing the signboard of the Sacred Square in the distance to fly into the sky and suppress Scholar Jing An's roar. Everyone's expression changed.
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "The Yu De Immortal Market gathering people to fight and gather privately is an illegal organization. I will report it to the Emperor and firmly ban it. All of you great scholars and young heroes were deceived by him for a moment, so you were deceived. In accordance with the principle of treating the sick and saving the patient, punishing the former and punishing the latter, as long as you all recognize your mistakes and write a letter of repentance, I will plead for mercy on your behalf in front of the emperor and strive for leniency. Everyone, please help yourself. "
He waved his hand and the soldiers under Du Xiuyuan waved their swords and spears, causing the scholars to tremble and their faces to turn pale. A few of them stole a glance at Scholar Jing An and then looked at the ferocious soldiers. Finally, they raised their trembling hands and said softly, "We repent!"
With a wave of Lin Wanrong's hand, the soldiers brought a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. The few of them wrote down in detail how they joined the 'illegal organization' Yu De Immortal Market, listing the most heinous crimes of the 'Yu De Immortal Market', such as falsifying the imperial edict of the Taizu, inciting ignorant youths, forming a clique without permission, raising armed forces without permission, running amok with corruption, suppressing young disciples, refusing to obey the imperial court's discipline, plotting to murder the imperial court's officials, and so on.
Lord Lin received the letters of repentance and read them over and over again. These letters of repentance and accusation were written with strong strokes and elegance, listing all the crimes of the Sacred Workshop. Lord Lin read them with a smile and passed them to Miss Xu beside him. He sighed and said, "I didn't know the Sacred Workshop was so evil. Miss Xu, take a look. The crimes are earth-shattering and innumerable. I only read them once and I'm already drenched in cold sweat. Sigh, luckily I came in time and saved the people from disaster. "
Xu Zhiqing was speechless. You're extorting confessions and you still have the nerve to brag about it? Seeing that more and more scholars came out to repent and that the Sacred Workshop was completely divided, Miss Xu glanced at the stack of letters of repentance in her hands and shook her head and sighed softly. If it wasn't for Lin San's threat, who would have thought that these dignified scholars were actually so weak? From this point of view, Lin San could be said to have done a great deed. These scholars who were high above the masses and lacked practical experience seemed to be the pillars of the country, but they were all hollow wood.
Miss Xu smiled helplessly and shook her head. She sighed and said, "A scholar who is useless is a scholar. My ancestors have taught me this long ago, but I only understood it today. Think about it, if the talents and talents nurtured by the Sacred Workshop entered the imperial court, they would be able to manipulate the rules and regulations of the imperial court and assist the imperial court. What would happen to Da Hua? Can we still count on them to fight to the death against the Hu? No wonder the Hu people bully us, even that small Dong Ying dares to touch our Da Hua's tiger's whiskers. "
Xiao Qingxuan's expression dimmed and she lowered her head in silence. Lin Wanrong shook his head. He had said too much and his mouth was cramping, so he decided not to say anymore.
When the wall was down, everyone would give it a push. After encountering the powerful Lin Wanrong, Yu De Immortal Market no longer had its former majesty. The disciples were divided into two extremes. Layperson Jing An never expected that the originally prosperous Yu De Immortal Market would collapse so quickly after encountering the military disaster. It was simply too unimaginable. Her white hair instantly turned gray, and there was no longer a trace of light in her eyes. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth as she stared blankly at the scene in front of her. It was as if she had been petrified.
"Lin San …" Layperson Jing An suddenly called out.
"Layperson, are you calling me?" Lin Wanrong was stunned.
Layman Jing An's face was ashen as he nodded and said, "Can you tell me why my flourishing Jade Virtue Market vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye after encountering the calamity of war?"
This question was really difficult to answer. Even though Lin Wanrong thought that he was knowledgeable and eloquent, he couldn't answer it. He could only shake his head with a bitter smile. "I don't understand this either."
Layperson Jing An sighed sadly and suddenly said softly, "Qing Xuan, come here."
"Court Master …" Miss Xiao's eyes were filled with tears as she hurriedly ran over. Lin Wanrong was anxious and was about to pull her back. However, Xu Zhiqing stopped him and sighed. "A dying man's words are kind. Don't worry, Layperson won't harm Miss Xiao."
"This is for you." Layperson Jing An slowly handed the wooden fish she was holding to Xiao Qingxuan. Lin Wanrong said in surprise, "Aiya, this old granny still hasn't given up. She still wants to pull Qing Xuan to be the Court Master."
Miss Xu rolled her eyes at him and fiercely pinched his arm. "Don't think that people are as cunning as you. In my opinion, Layperson is trying to save Miss Xiao."
Lin Wanrong didn't understand. On the other side, Miss Xiao was shocked. "Layperson, you are …"
Layperson Jing An's expression was calm. She nodded and said, "This wooden fish is your fate. Smash it and you won't have to suffer the pain of the drum. Be a free woman. Marry and have children. You won't be troubled by the Heavenly Dao anymore. You will have a human fate. "
Miss Xu was right. The nun was reflecting. Lin Wanrong's eyes lit up as he listened. He stared at the wooden fish in Qing Xuan's hand. He couldn't wait to rush forward and smash it into pieces.
Tears streamed down Miss Xiao's face. She held Layperson Jing An's skinny hand tightly and screamed, "Layperson …"
Layperson Jing An coughed and blushed. She seemed to be talking to herself. "Qing Xuan, I watched you grow up. Since you were a baby, I chanted sutras for you every day. At that time, your master was still a little girl and didn't know many things. So I took you with me and took care of you. Although I pursued the Heavenly Dao, I was still a mortal. Humans are not plants or trees. No one was happier than me to watch you grow up quietly and gracefully. There are countless disciples in Yu De Immortal Market, but I only treated you like this. Cough, cough … "
Miss Xiao cried silently. She couldn't say a word. Layperson Jing An's face turned redder and redder. Her eyes seemed to brighten. She smiled bitterly and said, "You have a noble status, but you ended up in our Yu De Immortal Market. The previous Court Master took a fancy to you, and you were destined to face this disaster. The only thing I did wrong was to urge you to make that painful vow. But to me, for the sake of the Sacred Market's thousand-year legacy, I had no other choice. Anyone in my position would do the same. If you want to blame me, I have no complaints. "
Xu Zhiqing shook her head and sighed, "You're right. In her position, if she didn't force Miss Xiao, there would be another woman who would suffer. It's not her fault. Lin San, you're too cruel. "
Women's logic was really messed up. One moment she was sympathizing with Qing Xuan, and in the blink of an eye, she was showing concern for Layperson Grandma. I'm the bad guy anyway. Lin Wanrong laughed dryly and didn't say anything.
Xiao Qingxuan choked and said, "Layperson, I don't blame you. It's Qing Xuan's fate to face such difficulties, just like how I met my husband. These are my sufferings, and I have to bear them."
Layperson Jing An sighed, "Although I've painstakingly passed down the legacy of the Sacred Market, in the end, I ended up like this. Everyone deserted me, and the Sacred Market disappeared in my hands. I'm ashamed to face my ancestors. Even when I reach the Western Paradise, I don't have the face to meet them. Gathering and dispersing, these are the great principles of humanity and go against the Heavenly Dao. Yet, I'm so concerned about it. It seems that the Heavenly Dao isn't something mortals like us can pursue. "
Xiao Qingxuan suddenly turned around and said, "Husband Lin, come here."
Lin Wanrong hurried to her side. Miss Xiao held his hand and said gently to the Court Master, "Layperson, look, this is the husband I've chosen. He taught me that humans are mortals. Birth, old age, sickness, and death, the seven emotions and six desires, wealth and hardship, these are the rights given to us by the heavens. It's something that mortals like us have to bear. Breaking away from humanity and pursuing the Heavenly Dao is an act that goes against the heavens. Qing Xuan doesn't want to be someone who transcends the mortal world. I just want to be a mortal woman, loving my husband, taking care of his children, bearing children, and sharing the Dao of human relationships. Please grant me my wish, Court Master. "
Layperson Jing An looked at Lin Wanrong carefully and nodded, "Qing Xuan, you have a strong personality and are opinionated. You're much stronger than I was when I was young. The husband you've chosen is unrestrained, and he's the best among men. He's a good match for you. It's rare, it's rare! "
Lin Wanrong beamed with joy, "Layperson Grandmother, I'm not as good as you say."
Layperson Jing An glanced at him and shook her head, "It's just that your husband has a lascivious look in his eyes. I'm afraid he's a dissolute and despicable person. You have to keep an eye on him in the future. Don't let him defile the pitiful women in the mortal world."
Sir Lin's face darkened. This old woman, she's really stubborn to make up stories about me in front of my wife. He was annoyed and snorted, but didn't say anything. Miss Xiao, on the other hand, was grateful. "Thank you for your kind words, Court Master. I know this husband of mine. I'll definitely discipline him well in the future. "
Layperson Jing An nodded and panted for a while. She looked around and said worriedly, "Yu De Immortal Market has collapsed, and I'm a sinner. However, I still have many young disciples under me. They don't have clothes or a place to eat, so how can I be at ease? Qing Xuan, I have no one to entrust their livelihood to, so I can only ask you to take care of them. "
Xiao Qingxuan hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Court Master. My husband is smart and resourceful. He'll definitely think of a way to settle down these young disciples."
Layperson Jing An nodded silently and glanced at Lin Wanrong. He said softly, "Lin San, do you resent me for obstructing you and Qing Xuan?"
"I can't say that I resent you. People in the martial world have no choice." Lin Wanrong laughed. Seeing that you handed over the wooden fish, I can't hurt you.
Layperson Jing An coughed violently and said weakly, "Qing Xuan is lucky to have you helping her like this. However, to me, back then, who helped me? In the end, I'm suffering the same as Qing Xuan! "
Lin Wanrong was silent. Miss Xu was right. This Court Master was also an innocent victim. However, who was the culprit behind all this?
"Lin San, you have to believe me." The Court Master suddenly choked and spat out a mouthful of blood. The light in her eyes suddenly dissipated and two teardrops rolled down her cheeks. She grabbed their hands tightly and said, "I, I'm not an evil person …" Her breath was gone, and her body choked in midair. Her breath dissipated and she suddenly passed away.
I'm not an evil person! Lin Wanrong muttered and smiled bitterly.
"Court Master …" Xiao Qingxuan cried out in grief and hugged her body as tears rolled down her cheeks. Lin Wanrong was shocked and hurriedly supported her delicate body. He said softly, "Qing Xuan, you're pregnant. It's not good for our baby to be so emotional."
Xiao Qingxuan's tears fell like rain. She said, "Lin Lang, the Court Master has raised me. I want to worship her!"
This request could not be rejected. Lin Wanrong supported her body. Miss Xiao knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to the Layperson. Lin Wanrong followed her and kowtowed. He said helplessly, "Layperson, I'll say this first. I'm paying my respects to an elder, not your Sacred Workshop. Old man, please don't misunderstand me in heaven. "
Miss Xu gently poked him and said angrily, "How can you be so insensible?"
A few of the great scholars who were still holding on saw the Layperson passing away. While they were shocked, they also lost their last bit of support. They looked old and sad, and tears rolled down their cheeks. When the disciples of the Sacred Workshop saw the passing of the Court Master, they immediately knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Even Li Xiangjun, the young girl who resisted the Court Master, was no exception.
Miss Xu followed Lin San today and witnessed the decline of Yu De Immortal Market in just a moment. Her heart was filled with endless emotions. She pulled Lin Wanrong and murmured, "Lin San, did we go too far?"
Lin Wanrong said helplessly, "Miss Xu, if you want to sympathize with your opponent, then please think about the consequences if I lose."
His words were not false at all. Kindness to the enemy was cruelty to oneself. Lin Wanrong looked at the scattered memorial archway in the distance and sighed. "To be honest, although we won today and found Qing Xuan, my heart is empty."
"Why?" Xu Zhiqing asked curiously.
Xiao Qingxuan held Lin Wanrong's hand and said softly, "What you mean is that although we won this battle, it was a victory without an opponent. Is that right, husband? "
Lin Wanrong chuckled. "Forget it. Such deep content is not my style. Let's talk about something lighter."
Miss Xu frowned. She looked around and shook her head with a bitter smile. "Lighter? How? I'm afraid you won't be able to relax in such a mess. "
The sudden change in Yu De Immortal Market, the death of the Dean, the decline of the Sacred Market, and the destruction of the landmark building by Lin Wanrong's cannon was tantamount to destroying the pillar of support in everyone's hearts. Cries could be heard from the top and bottom of the mountain. The great Confucian scholars sighed, and none of the young disciples had experienced such a harsh experience. A few of the weaker ones were already crying.
Xiao Qingxuan's expression was also a little sad. The Sacred Market was in such a mess today because of her. Needless to say, she was sad. "Lin Wanrong, do you have any good ideas to stabilize the situation on the mountain and let the senior and junior brothers temporarily calm down?"
It was easy to destroy, but difficult to build. It seemed that the collapse of Yu De Immortal Market was not necessarily a good thing. At the very least, there was no one to clean up the mess. These hundreds and thousands of scholars and elites were originally holding onto the golden rice bowls of Yu De Immortal Market. However, after the two bombardments, the immortal market closed down, the rice bowls were destroyed, and the scholars were laid off. These thousands of mouths needed to be fed. Miss Xu thought through the difficulties and glanced at Lin Wanrong. She said softly, "If we don't arrange these people well, I'm afraid they will become unstable factors."
Lin Wanrong nodded and said with a smile, "Wife, give me some motivation. Kiss each of your cheeks. I'll use my brain to think about it."
Xiao Qingxuan's pretty face turned red. She shook her head and said, "If I let you take advantage of me, there will be no end to it. I won't fall for your tricks. " Xu Zhiqing held Xiao Qingxuan's hand and said with a smile, "Miss Xiao, you know him the best. You can't be nice to someone like him."
Xiao Qingxuan smiled faintly and said indifferently, "Sister Xu also knows him very well!" Miss Xu hurriedly turned her head away. Her face was bright red, and she didn't dare to speak. Lin Wanrong burst into laughter. Miss Xiao glared at him and snorted, "Don't laugh either. If there's anything you want to say, hurry up and tell me. If you wait until you get dragged into it, I won't bother with you."
"I'll think of a way, I'll think of a way." Lin Wanrong's forehead was full of sweat. The first wife's words had a profound meaning. It could be said that he was listening to thunder in silence. It made his heart pound.
Seeing Miss Xiao's methods, Xu Zhiqing sighed. There was finally someone in this world who could control him. If he continued to run around like a wild colt, who knew how many good girls he would harm. In the end, he would evolve into a stud. Miss Xu's face was bright red. She hurriedly looked around to distract herself.
"Senior Sister …" Li Xiang Jun walked to Xiao Qingxuan's side and looked at her with teary eyes. She looked delicate and pitiful. "The dean is gone, the market is gone, and Master is not here. What should we do?"
This little girl was able to support Qing Xuan in a difficult time. This kind of help was very touching. Lin Wanrong hurriedly said, "Little sister, don't be afraid. We will protect you."
Li Xiang Jun snorted and said, "I don't need your protection. You just need to take Senior Sister away. Why do you need to destroy the market? Isn't it all because of you that our Sacred Workshop is like this today? "
A child's words carried no harm. Lin Wanrong laughed and pretended not to hear her. Xiao Qingxuan held Li Xiang Jun's hand and said softly, "Little Junior Sister, Lin Lang is thinking of a way. Don't worry, we have been together for many years. You have treated me deeply. I will not abandon you. "
"Got it." Lin Wanrong suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly.
"Got what?" Li Xiang Jun said, "Senior Sister, don't you already have a baby?"
Xiao Qingxuan let out a cry. Her face turned red and she covered her face in embarrassment. Xu Zhiqing held Li Xiang Jun's hand and said, "Little sister, you are still young. There are some things you can know, but you can't say it casually. Remember next time."
Although Miss Xiao was graceful and elegant, she had nowhere to hide when she heard the two girls teasing her. She could only grab Lin Wanrong's arm and pinch it hard.
I will endure it! Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "I have thought of a way to arrange the workshop. I wonder if it will work?"
"Don't keep us in suspense. Hurry up and say it." Hearing the serious matter, Xiao Qingxuan also held back her shyness and asked hurriedly.
Seeing that the girls' eyes were on him, Lin Wanrong said, "Isn't this workshop a place to gather and discuss? A place to form a clique for private interests?"
Xiao Qingxuan and Li Xiang Jun spat at the same time. Miss Xiao said angrily, "What do you mean form a clique for private interests? It's not as bad as what you said. It should be to educate people and impart knowledge. "
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. It's just that the way I say it is different." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, "Since this workshop was originally a forum, then we might as well make it bigger. The workshop was originally specialized in writing poetry and teaching Confucianism. This function is too simple. It is easy to encourage the arrogance of scholars and cause them to be lazy and disregard work. We might as well expand it and make it a top forum with a complete range. "
"Top forum?" The few of them were shocked at the same time. Even though Miss Xiao and Xu Zhiqing were people who were far more knowledgeable than ordinary people, they were a little confused when they heard this new term.
"Yes, top forum." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, "Originally, there was only literature. We will expand it into five major subjects: literature, industry, agriculture, science, and medicine. We will specially teach the most common knowledge in these five subjects. At the same time, we will allocate a lot of money to reward outstanding talents and groundbreaking knowledge in these five subjects. We will hold regular academic conferences to promote academic events and prosper China's cultural and technological undertakings. This way, the five subjects will be intersected and everyone will be influenced by what they see and hear. We will let those high and mighty scholars also see the profound knowledge in the various subjects of industry, agriculture, science, and medicine. We will open up their mouths and avoid the problem of building a cart behind closed doors. We will also avoid the appearance of a second Yu De Immortal Market in a hundred years. "
Miss Xiao listened and nodded. In prosperous times, literature flourished, and in troubled times, martial arts flourished. In China, the literature was flourishing. It was fine in prosperous times, but in times of crisis, it was not a good omen. She had already heard of Lin Wanrong's idea when the two of them met in Jinling, but she didn't expect him to come up with such a great idea. Moreover, this idea happened to make use of the specialty of Yu De Immortal Market, killing two birds with one stone.
Miss Xu clapped her hands and said in a sweet voice, "This is a good idea. China has a strong literature style, but no one studies the principles of all things and machinery. If we can really set up such a forum and set up a heavy reward, it will be a great thing. It can call on countless skilled craftsmen in the world to look up to it and a higher level of knowledge. In a hundred years, the level of craftsmen in China will definitely rise to a higher level. Lin San, where did you come up with this idea? "
"Alas, I have always been such a great person. It's just that I've never been good at expressing it." Lin Wanrong sighed, but the expression between his eyebrows couldn't hide his pride.
Xiao Qingxuan chuckled and said, "Don't be too proud of yourself. Although the idea is good, it needs a lot of money to build a school, a forum, and a heavy reward. Where will the money come from? "
Xu Zhiqing shook her head with a smile and said in a sweet voice, "Miss Xiao, this is something you don't know. This Langjun of yours is running a business and selling perfume. In the future, the Xiao Family in Jinling will be his. His net worth is now millions, and it's leaping towards tens of millions. How would he care about these few taels of silver? "
It's easy for you to say that. Those taels of silver are my hard-earned money. How can I just spend it like that? Miss Xiao listened with a serious expression. She held his hand and said, "Lin Lang, even if you have money, don't spend it recklessly. You have to be thrifty —"
Lin Wanrong listened and nodded to himself. This is my wife, considerate. Before he could finish feeling proud, he heard Miss Xiao continue, "— For this school, you only need to take out 100,000 taels of silver. You can't take out more than that."
Lin Wanrong wanted to cry but had no tears. 100,000 taels of silver was not a small amount. It was enough to buy thousands of young and beautiful maids. If he changed one every day, it would last for ten years.
Seeing him frowning, Miss Xiao covered her mouth and chuckled. She pointed a finger at his forehead and said, "Who told you to spend money recklessly? I want to remind you that it's not easy to earn money, but it's easy to spend it. You have a family now, so don't be so extravagant. This school is decided in advance. I'll think of something about the money. In the future, the reward will be called the Lin Family's Scholarship. Langjun, what do you think? "
"Okay, okay!" Lin Wanrong naturally nodded. His first wife really had the demeanor to settle this matter with just a few words. He was grateful and raised a finger, "Okay, then I'll donate this amount first!"
Miss Xu's eyes lit up, and she said anxiously, "10,000 taels?!"
Lin Wanrong rolled his eyes at her and said angrily, "1,000 taels of silver, and it'll be distributed over five years. 200 taels a year."
"Stingy!" Miss Xu snorted and said helplessly.
Xiao Qingxuan's face was full of shyness. She suddenly kissed him on the cheek and said softly, "Husband, this is Qing Xuan thanking you for taking care of my brothers and sisters."
"It's what I should do. Qing Xuan, I also thank you for taking care of my son —" Lin Wanrong smiled and was about to "thank" Miss Xiao when Miss Xu's face turned red. She gritted her teeth and pulled him over. She kissed him on the cheek and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Lin San, thank, thank you for coming up with such a great idea."
Oh, what was going on? Lin Wanrong was stunned with the fragrance on his face.
Miss Xiao kicked him in the leg. Official Lin couldn't stand steadily and with a putong sound, he fell on his butt.
