Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

But there is also a disadvantage to hand-rubbing elemental gems, which is that they cannot be shipped in large quantities. Elemental gems are widely used to provide energy for various Teyvat black technologies.

Strictly speaking, it is even a controlled substance. If there is no reliable channel, it can only be sold sporadically, and at best it can only support a few more Paimons.

He shook his head, and put aside the soul of organizational operation that suddenly burned in his heart.

Lin Feng began to think about the specific process of rescuing Nashida.

——First of all, we have to find replacements for the sages and their followers. This is not a small task. Even if Lin Feng has taken into account the lazy man Elhaisen, it is still not enough.

Because in the plot, Nashida issued a general amnesty and only dismissed the four sages involved. She did not punish other secondary participants and even let those scum sages enjoy their old age in Daochenglin.

Thanks to this, the House of Religion only re-elected the leaders of four colleges, and the most critical position of the Great Sage could be temporarily taken over by Elhaisen.

Even so, there was still considerable turmoil in Xumi, which kept the little grass god busy for a long time.

——But Lin Feng naturally couldn’t accept this way of handling things.

If he were left to handle it, he would simply purge the House of Decrees completely, burn out all those stale termites, and replace them with fresh blood with vitality.

The reason is that after the death of the Great Compassionate Tree King, there has been almost no qualitative breakthrough in the academic field of Xumi. Although it is still prosperous on the surface, in fact, it is just like the incompetent second generation who cling to the heritage of their ancestors and will only go on the road of gradual decline.

Lin Feng naturally understood that reforms need to be cautious, gradual, and that too much is as bad as too little. If he did not have the power and authority he has now, he might have chosen to proceed slowly for the sake of the stability of the entire Xumi, gradually replacing the followers of the old sages in a long process.

But at the moment, even in the most extreme situation, Xumi can still provide safety with the help of the two god-level fighters, Nashida and Lin Feng.

After all, although Nashida's direct abilities are not strong, when it comes to auxiliary abilities, no one among the Seven Gods can match her.

The compatibility between Lin Feng and her is like that of twin gods, which further amplifies Nashida's auxiliary ability. She cooperates with herself in doubles, and even if Grandpa Quansheng comes, Lin Feng will not be afraid.

With such a guarantee, if he still cannot take advantage of this great opportunity of changing dynasties to carry out a thorough reform, Lin Feng might as well dig a hole and bury his non-recyclable garbage.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng began to think about the specific channels for selecting suitable candidates for the management of the Academy of Teachings.

——First of all, the slacker Alhaisen must be counted. In the plot, since there is not much turmoil in the House of Lords, he can be allowed to serve as the acting governor for a few days and then step down.

But this time, a really big wave is coming. Looking at the misfits in the Order Institute in the plot, if Elhaisen is allowed to slack off, Lin Feng really doesn’t know who else can take on this important task.

In addition, special times require special things. Although I hope that the Church of the Holy Spirit can restore the vitality of the Tree King period, blindly pursuing it in one step is not advisable.

At the current stage, with the shortage of talent in the Ministry of Education, Lin Feng’s core selection criteria for new management personnel in the Ministry of Education is just one word - "stable".

Academic ability is secondary. The main task of this group of sages is to quickly sort out the chaos when the entire Church is turned upside down, to ensure the basic operation of the entire Sumeru management system, and to prevent forces such as the Fatui and the Gilded Brigade from taking advantage of loopholes.

When society is stable, Lin Feng also took the time to eliminate reactionary elements such as the Fatui agents, and then gradually selected candidates to replace them.

Compared with reality, the biggest advantage of Teyvat is that we don’t have to worry about these people being unwilling to give up their positions because of their greed for power.

The existence of gods themselves is the best means of managing power.

——You know, even the outrageous political system of Liyue, where merchants rule the country, has been running smoothly for thousands of years under Zhongli’s supervision, right?

If the House of Religious Affairs is not required to make any academic breakthroughs in a short period of time, but just maintain the education of the next generation and normal operations, then the selection of managers will still be difficult, but it will not be as far-fetched as it seemed at the beginning.

As for how to establish the authority of the Grass God and how to bring down the existing sages

This operation is much simpler than the one above.

Lin Feng actually had a rough idea in his mind before coming to Xumi City:

——That is to create a powerful enemy that the Order of the Lords cannot deal with no matter what.

This enemy must be strong enough, strong enough to make all the people of Xumi feel fear and tremble.

It is so powerful that no one can numb themselves and ignore its existence.

Then, as this "powerful enemy" advances all the way, the incompetence of the sages of the House of Ordinances who are unable to stop it will be fully demonstrated.

Finally, just before everything is about to become irreversible, the long-awaited Little Grass God will come to the rescue, and all problems will be solved.

As for the sages and their followers, all it takes is a charge of "coveting power and preventing the gods from lending a helping hand" to make this group of scum meet their belated death amidst the scorn of everyone.

Chapter 67: First Meeting with El Haisen

It is clear that the general process of rescuing the little grass god has been conceived, and what remains are the details and the specific implementation process.

Lin Feng's thoughts became much clearer and his mood became much better.

Arriving at the second floor of the giant tree platform, as expected, no one was at Kavi's house, but according to nearby neighbors, the house still belonged to Kavi himself and was not sold to make up for the construction costs of the Casazale Palace as in the original plot.

Although Kavi was not found in the end, Lin Feng did not feel disappointed.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, according to the characteristics of the contact person described by the guard, when Lin Feng sends Falushan back to the Islamic Institute, he will meet one of the most critical figures in his plan.

Seeing that the agreed time had not yet arrived, Lin Feng casually strolled around Xumi City and noted the locations of some landmark buildings such as the Weapon Shop, Health Home, Adventurer's Association and Jusha Hall.

Although Lin Feng was very envious of the Adventurer's Association's intelligence system and had always wanted to visit there since he traveled through time, unfortunately, he did not have enough time this time and could only wait until he had some free time.

As for the garrison of the thirty-man regiment, Jusha Hall, it is even more important.

In terms of identity, the Thirty-Man Group is an older branch of the Gilded Brigade. Although it has always been known for its good reputation and strict management, it is ultimately an independent mercenary group.

Employed by the sages of the Academy of Teachings, the Thirty-Man Group has long been responsible for the defense and patrols of Xumi City. In terms of its function, it can be regarded as a combination of the police and the army.

After actually visiting the Jusha Hall, Lin Feng was surprised to find that as a country's military agency, the Xumi Church actually dared to hand over the army, the foundation for maintaining its rule, to a mercenary group outside the system without any precautions.

Employees can be outsourced, design can be outsourced, and even management can be outsourced, but you can actually outsource the military as well?

——If it weren’t for the fact that the little Grass God still had some deterrent power, the ruler of Xumi would have been replaced long ago.

While Lin Feng complained about Xumi's makeshift political system, he also lamented that other countries in Teyvat were similar.

All we can say is that the existence of gods gives Teyvat’s state system a kind of wild beauty.

——Anyway, there are people to back us up, so as long as the country does not fall apart, it will be fine. If a real war breaks out, it will all depend on the results above. Apart from the existence of the Ancient Thousand Rocks Army, mortals can only provide assistance at best and cannot decide the direction of the war.

After making a sharp comment on the abstract political system of Teyvat, Lin Feng looked at the sky and decided to return to the hotel early to meet up with Falusan.

He had been looking forward to meeting the next person for a long time.

A moment later, in front of the carved door of the hotel.

After changing her clothes, Falushan sat quietly on a bench beside the wooden fence. The soft sunlight caressed her green hair, bringing a subtle girlish feel.

With her outstanding looks, Falushan's "trendy" outfit also attracted passing girls to look back frequently, wondering which stylist's latest design this was.

As a "fashion expert", she was obviously unaware of all this.

Because she bought this "nostalgic" limited edition clothing, Falushan's heart was filled with excitement and satisfaction.

As soon as she saw Lin Feng approaching, she ran over happily, straightened her chest, and said gratefully:

"I didn't expect that there are actually clothes of this style on Baoshang Street!"

"——It seems that good design will still be called a classic even after a hundred years. Thank you so much this time!"

"Although it's much more expensive than what I paid back then, since I'm going back to the Order of the Holy Fathers soon, I will definitely pay you back double when I get back."

It was obvious that she was really happy. Falushan didn't even put on airs as a senior and expressed her gratitude frankly.

"Okay, then I'll thank you first."

Lin Feng just smiled and looked up at the sky:

"Let's go. Judging from the time, by the time we reach the city gate, the people who are here to pick you up should have arrived."

"."

"Oh, that's right. Since I have to meet the scholars from the Ministry of Education, I have to calm down a bit. I can't lose my seniority in front of these young people."

After a night of psychological preparation, Falushan seemed to have gotten rid of her fear of the House of the Holy Orders and instead seemed a little impatient.

Seeing her like this, Lin Feng could only pray for her silently in his heart, hoping that Falushan would not become a salted fish without dreams because of the huge gap between reality and expectations.

Ten minutes later.

The two men, who were not far away, came to the city gate and said Azad's name. The guard at the gate motioned for them to wait and turned to enter the nearby lounge.

"My two distinguished guests! I've finally waited for you!"

Soon, Azad came out behind a young man and greeted Lin Feng with a smile.

The leading man had gray hair and green eyes, an indifferent expression, and muscular body that was very different from that of an ordinary scholar. He was wearing a uniform representing a civil servant of the Ordinary Court, with a tight black underwear underneath.

"Elhaisen, secretary of the Ministry of Education, liaison officer for the Falusan scholars."

Elhaisen glanced at Falusan's clothes, paused for a moment, and said in a businesslike manner:

"Falusan, a scholar of the Zhilun School, is affiliated with the Sravasti College. According to the Void records, the last time she checked in was one hundred and three years and seven months ago, and her registration status is missing."

Having said this, he turned his gaze and looked at the young Lin Feng:

"I have no intention of questioning the authenticity of their words, but scholars from a hundred years ago suddenly returned, and recording the specific details is one of my missions on this trip."

Facing Elhaisen's intellectually charged questioning, Falusan felt somewhat relieved:

"I didn't expect that a hundred years later, the Zhilun Sect still has a younger generation like you who is so resolute and efficient. It seems that those old antiques are still quite capable."

"You already know my identity information. If you want to know the details of the ruins, it will take three days and three nights to finish. If you want to know who saved my life, just ask the young man next to me."

She moved aside to make room for Lin Feng.

Facing Elhaisen's gaze that would make ordinary people feel oppressive, Lin Feng just smiled and stretched out a hand:

"Lin Feng, former trainee forest ranger of Huacheng, subordinate and student of the forest ranger of Tinari."

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Clerk of the Ordinariate."

"If you want to know how Senior Faluzan was rescued, you can go to a nearby cafe and discuss it in detail. I will explain the process as detailed as possible."

The moment he opened his mouth, Elhaisen's eyes froze slightly, but he finally reached out and shook hands with Lin Feng:

"You're welcome. Researcher Tinari helped me a lot when I was studying at the Order."

"This is indeed not a good place to record. Considering the environment and distance, please move to the Rand Café 500 meters away for the next detailed discussion."

The moment Elhaisen held Lin Feng's hand, his back straightened and his body stiffened slightly.

The young man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person, and Elhaisen's intuition was giving him a crazy warning.

——An existence that is absolutely unrivaled.

This was his first impression of Lin Feng as a clerk.

Chapter 68 The plan begins

Elhaisen is a typical "wise man" who is independent, self-centered, respects rationality, but also has some paranoia that is unique to geniuses. Mediocre people will not leave any impression on him.

Knowing well El Haisen's slacking work attitude in the plot, Lin Feng did not intend to completely hide his strength.

The purpose of revealing a little bit of one's own "essence" is to arouse the other person's most fundamental quality as a scholar - curiosity.

Falushan's return will not encounter any obstacles with the Void, a universal database.

Appearance, experience, and academic level.

Every feature perfectly matches the existing information. Under this premise, no one can question her identity as "Falusan".

The so-called "detailed discussion" between Elhaisen and Lin Feng was more about testing the true identity and purpose of the boy in front of them.

For Elhaisen, the work assigned by the Ministry of Education can be done in a perfunctory manner in a way that others cannot find fault with. Only things that interest him will make him willing to spend a lot of time and energy to explore.

And all the information about Lin Feng was obviously one of the things he was most interested in.

But apart from the strange feeling in the initial moment, in the subsequent conversation, Lin Feng behaved like an ordinary teenager, even making Elhaisen think that his initial fear was just an illusion - but this was of course impossible.

A feeling will not arise for no reason; it must have its roots. The most taboo thing for a scholar is to doubt himself and simply attribute everything abnormal to illusion.

The more he tried, the more confused Elhaisen became. It was as if the other party had seen through his thoughts and perfectly avoided all the traps he had set for him.

The overly flawless response actually revealed an indescribable abnormality.

Such an unusual situation has never occurred before throughout Elhaisen's research career.

Compared to "humans", Elhaisen felt that the boy sitting opposite him was more like some kind of "alien" who was high above everyone else and looked down on everyone indiscriminately.

——This is certainly not Elhaisen’s illusion.

In fact, for a muscular man like the clerk who is more cunning than normal people, the more you confuse him and make him unable to figure out your true intentions, the easier it will be to reach a consensus with him.

——Because geniuses often disdain to work with mediocre people who can be seen through at a glance.

Therefore, Lin Feng decisively used the dream power he had just obtained.

The entry for this thing clearly states that, although it usually takes the form of dreams, it is essentially an interference with thinking and consciousness.
