After the test in Anjifang, Xiaojiu became the monitor of the first class in Anjifang.
Then, Lin Tongxi imitated the class organizational structure during his student days and set up relevant class leaders in order to better manage the first class.
The first class here is actually more like the concept of class, that is, the first class.
In the future, classes will be updated every 5 years. Those who enter Anjifang in the 6th year will be classified as the second class, and the same will apply to the subsequent times.
Of course, this is a later matter.
Nowadays, the focus of Anjifang is to gather intelligence for Lin Tongxi and others.
Lin Tongxi sent the people from Anjifang out and distributed them in the streets and alleys.
Because they were disguised and the villagers of Qingshi Village came to the town to provide assistance, the residents of Ruihe Town did not have too many doubts about them.
Half a month passed, and Lin Tongxi and others finally had a good understanding of the town's intelligence and could carry out follow-up actions.
At the same time, Lin Tongxi also accumulated enough system power to upgrade the remaining two abilities.
The ability of [Item Storage] has been upgraded, and it can even store one living thing, similar to entering Lin Tongxi's own small world.
[Skill Refinement] can also be upgraded, and the effects of [Creating Something Out of Nothing], [Live and Die Together], and [Teammate Strengthening] can also be strengthened.
[Out of Nothing] can generate two items with 1 point of system power, the effect of [Live and Die Together] has been changed to be able to be terminated at any time, and [Teammate Strengthening] can directly increase teammates by two levels.
All five abilities have been upgraded to level 2. If Lin Tongxi wants to become stronger, he needs to update the version, which requires more system power.
Having said that, as far as the current situation is concerned, the power accumulated by Lin Tongxi and others is already sufficient, and there is no need for Lin Tongxi's version upgrade for the time being.
In the past half month, the Pang family, Jin family, and Tian family, who were against Lin Tongxi, had repeatedly provoked trouble, which had made Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan dizzy.
Almost half of the officials under them were also won over by these three families, and only a small number of them had their own beliefs and were unwilling to be corrupted.
According to the intelligence collected by the villagers of Anjifang and Qingshi, most of the officials were not only bribed, but also engaged in illegal activities, following these three companies to bully the market and seriously damage the image of the government.
Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan noticed this phenomenon and were just waiting for an opportunity to intensify the conflict.
In addition, they also have to take extra time to prepare for the supplementary recruitment of officials.
One day, Lin Tongxi and two others brought a bunch of gifts to the home of their subordinate Yan Chenghong and knocked on his door.
His family was relatively poor. He had no wife or children, and only a mother to support him.
"Who... are you?" Yan Chenghong's mother opened the door, hunched over, her clothes patched.
Chen Yunxuan spoke first: "Hello, I am Lin Chenxuan, the mayor of Ruihe Town. These two are Master Lin Tongxi and Su Ruoxue, the former owner of Fuchuntang."
"Madam Yan, you look much better than before." Su Ruoxue recognized this guest. Yan Chenghong had brought this guest to see a doctor before.
Although Fuchuntang had only been in business for a few days, Yan Chenghong still went to the Lin Mansion as usual to get medicine for his mother.
Apart from anything else, Su Ruoxue's price is very cheap and the treatment effect is outstanding.
"Oh... you are the miracle doctor from Fuchun Hall... My health has indeed improved a lot, thank you, Miraculous Doctor Su." After saying that, Old Madam Yan called out from inside the house, "Hong'er, stop practicing, Mayor Lin and two other distinguished guests are here!"
After hearing his mother's instructions, Yan Chenghong put down the work in his hands, received the three guests in front of him, and brought them into the house.
When Lin Tongxi and others came in, they found that the other party's home environment was extremely poor. There were no decorations, and it was basically daily necessities, which were relatively old.
Compared to this, any household in Qingshi Village can be considered a mansion.
"Chenghong, I didn't expect that you would live in such a simple place. It was my negligence." Chen Yunxuan then realized his carelessness. He obviously didn't care enough about his subordinates. If Lin Tongxi hadn't reminded him, he would probably have been unaware of Yan Chenghong's family conditions for a long time.
There was no way. Yan Chenghong himself didn't tell him, and Chen Yunxuan was busy with many tedious affairs in the government, so he naturally didn't know Yan Chenghong's family situation.
"Don't worry about it, my Lord. It's just me and my mother at home, and we can make do." Yan Chenghong sighed, then quickly cheered up: "My mother always taught me not to focus too much on a comfortable life, but to focus on serving the country."
"It's a pity that I have no way to serve my country. I am stupid and have no ability."
"If Lord Gan hadn't taken a liking to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to do this job as an official."
According to the conditions of this official, he is actually most likely to be corrupted by the three major families in the town.
However, the man refused.
Moreover, through the intelligence collected, we know that this person is relatively kind to the people, will not accept money privately, and even refused bribes from the three major families.
Lin Tongxi didn't expect that there would be officials with such character in such troubled times. After confirming the situation, he quickly took the two of them to express his condolences.
No matter what, we must not discourage people with good character.
"Chenghong, can you tell me why you refused the bribes from the Pang, Tian and Jin families? The money they gave can greatly improve your family's conditions." Lin Tongxi stared at Yan Chenghong, waiting for his answer.
Yan Chenghong scratched his head, glanced at his mother, and then said, "My mother wouldn't let me. She once said that people should be upright in the world, follow their own hearts, and not do bad things."
