"Brother Xiao, easy to say, easy to say." Lin Wanrong coldly smiled and said: "As Brother Xiao has said, I am indeed not a scholar." Seeing the embarrassed look in Xiao Qingxuans eyes, wanting to say something, but being cut off by his ruthless hand gesture.

  Xiao Qingxuan could only press her lower lip lightly, and gave Lin Wanrong a slight smile, revealing a row of clean white teeth. The handsome appearance made Lin Wanrongs heart skip another beat, and she quickly turned her head away to avoid looking at him.

  This dead maniac actually dared to electrocute me, Lin Wanrong was extremely furious, but also had no way to deal with him.

  It wasnt easy to adjust his mood from feeling sick, but Lin Wanrong didnt look at the dead mans face again and continued: "Although Im not a scholar, I dont quite agree with their complacent emotions, but I think its not their fault because the problem doesnt lie with them."

  "Not on them?" Xiao Qingxuan, this androgynous young master, furrowed his elegant brow and said: "I dont know what Brother Lin means by these words."

  Lin Wanrong said slowly, "Its very simple. What we see now is a reflection of the peoples livelihood in a country. And the peoples livelihood is a barometer of a countrys governance, oh, this barometer thing, do you understand?"

  Xiao Qingxuan revealed a barely comprehensible expression, and Lin Wanrong didnt bother to explain it to him. Instead, he continued: "The situation you see now on the surface of Xuanwu Lake, where officials are as numerous as silk threads and women are shuttling back and forth, is precisely the result of this countrys public opinion guidance."

  Lin Wanrong was still very unaccustomed to this strange place, so he directly referred to it as "this country".

  "Public opinion guidance?" Xiao Qingxuan apparently encountered another noun barrier, furrowing her brow in a lovely way, that delicate appearance made Lin Wanrong think of the classic idiom "Xi Shi holding her heart".

  How could he think of such a disgusting metaphor. Lin Wanrong quickly shook his head and drove this terrible thought out of his mind.

  Xiao Qingxuan looked at him and said shyly: "Mr. Lin, can you explain to me what public opinion guidance means?"

  This kid is really learning with a lot of energy, and now hes even calling out to Mr. Lin Wanrong. Thinking about the two other meanings that Mr. represents, Lin Wanrong suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. To be this kind of perverts Mr., it would be better to ask God to castrate me.

  "Xiao brother, please dont call me mister again, okay? Honestly, Im really a bit... allergic to this title." Lin Wanrong said with a furrowed brow.

  Xiao Qingxuan was taken aback for a moment before responding, "Alright, Mr. Lin."

  Lin Wanrong helplessly rolled her eyes, this dead demon, really unrepentant.

  Xiao Qingxuan also seemed to realize her mistake, and her white jade-like face turned red as she hurriedly smiled at him with embarrassment.

  Im too lazy to bother with him anymore. This is still the first time Lin Wanrong has spoken so much to someone since he came to this place, and its been a month, almost suffocating him. Anyway, he also has plenty of time, in this broken place, thinking that finding someone to listen to his nagging is really difficult.

  "What is called public opinion, its just propaganda. As long as you grasp the direction of propaganda well, creating whatever kind of public opinion isnt a problem. If you let these officials sing and dance in peace, then theyll sing and dance in peace; if you let them rush to national calamity with enthusiasm, then theyll rush to national calamity with enthusiasm - everything depends on the flexible application of methods." Lin Wanrong said calmly.

  Xiao Qingxuan was indeed a clever person, and he immediately understood what he meant. He excitedly said: "Mr. Lin, you mean that we control public opinion..." He stopped halfway through his sentence, clearly already understanding the implication.

  This kid is a talent, with quick reactions and knows the principle of saying three parts of the truth.

  Lin Wanrong smiled coldly and said, "Whether its a peaceful and prosperous country or a nation in crisis depends on the level of those in power. Now, although the country is facing difficulties, these officials are still indulging in song and dance, without feeling any tension at all. This cant help but be seen as a mistake on the part of those in power."

  Lin Wanrong has been here for only a month, but he never belonged here. He didnt have the idea of ??emperor being noble, and even if he saw the emperor, he would not kowtow. There was some arrogance in his bones, so when he spoke, he didnt care about anything.

  In fact, only he, this fearless little rascal, dared to say such a thing. Others might have had similar thoughts, but they didnt dare express them directly.

  This surname Xiao person, a loyalist, upon hearing Lins cold laughter, his face suddenly looked unpleasant and said: "Lin... brother, I think the situation is not as you imagined. The current emperor is in his prime, diligently governing, and this time the northern enemy invasion, although it is a challenge for our great China, but also does not mean there are no opportunities. According to my understanding, the current emperor has grand ambitions, is vigorously reforming the government, rectifying the officialdom, accumulating strength, striving for victory without fighting, and making our great Chinese spirit soar."

  This kid actually knows how to find opportunities in a crisis, and his vision is quite unique. Although what he said sounds grandiose, those words like "the current emperors prosperity" are purely deceiving children.

  Lin Wanrong has been here for only a month, but he also understands that the current emperor is over 60 years old and has no children due to his reckless behavior in his youth. He only has two princesses, and as for being in his prime, that old man is probably already impotent.

  As for whether to work hard and govern well, its not up to the emperor alone to decide, the peoples livelihood is the best proof. Just this stark contrast between the prosperity of Jinling and the war in the north, the four words "work hard and govern well" might as well just be placed on that old emperors ancestral temple for show.

  Look at Xiao Gongzis demeanor, he has absolute trust in the emperor. Lin Wanrong was too lazy to argue with him and coldly smiled, saying: "Since ancient times, merits and demerits have been left for later generations to comment on. Since you, Xiao, have extraordinary confidence in the emperor, I hope your feelings are not wrong, and I hope he will bring blessings to the people of the world."

  That demon young master heard Lin Wanrong call him Xiao Xiao, obviously never having heard such a title before, his face turned red and he glared at Lin Wanrong fiercely.

  Lin Wanrongs face was as thick as a city wall, and he naturally regarded his white eyes as if they had not been seen. However, that handsome young servant of his turned red in the face, clenched his small fist, and seemed to be about to rush up and fight him.

  "From Brother Lins tone, it seems that he doesnt have much confidence in the current emperor?" Xiao Gongzis face turned even more unsightly as he stared at Lin Wanrong and spoke word by word. He was furious, and his body seemed to exude an aura of wealth and power that ordinary people couldnt match.

  Unfortunately, Lin Wanrong was immune to all the airs of wealth and power. The little thoughts in his mind were like a neighbors child throwing a tantrum in Lin Wanrongs eyes, but the flush on his face made him look even more handsome.

  If he were a good boy toy, I would have kept him. The sudden thought that rose in his heart, however, gave Lin Wanrong a fright - what kind of demon was this, to almost change his sexual orientation?

  "Faith?" Lin Wanrong looked at him with a smile: "Xiao Xiao, dont put your hopes on that old emperor, people can only rely on themselves."

  "You—" Lin Wanrongs lack of respect for the emperor, directly calling him "old man", made Xiao Gongzis face turn bright red with anger. He pointed at Lin Wanrong and said: "How dare you utter such treasonous words?"

  His ears turned bright red with rage, and the two small dots on his translucent earlobes became more pronounced.

  "So youre a little girl after all." Lin Wanrong blurted out.
