I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

"Madam, why are you angry? I know you have always favored those girls, and I just don't want to see you doing useless work." Xi Tianrui knew what Lin Jin wanted to do, so he said this.

What Lin Jin wants to do is too big, and it is impossible to accomplish it under the current circumstances. At this time, the thing to do is to find talents as quickly as possible instead of wasting time on a group of mediocre people.

"If this goes on, ma'am, how many years will it take to accomplish what you want to do? How long will it take to build the things needed for your South-to-North Water Diversion Project? Will you be able to see it in your lifetime?" Xi Tianrui asked Lin Jin a series of questions, as if asking Lin Jin to think about this matter carefully.

Now that you have something you want to do, you should do the important ones first. Just like controlling floods, the imperial court will not teach everyone how to control floods little by little and find useful people from these people, but directly appoint people. This is the best way.

Lin Jin smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, but I have my own considerations. Please just send me here. Please go back."

She understood this truth, but she felt that these two things did not interfere. If there really was such a genius, she could learn it even if she was not there. A genius is a genius, and this is innate, not taught by a teacher.

Xi Tianrui understood the rejection in Lin Jin's words, and he didn't want to say more. He just said, "Madam, please think about it carefully. This matter is of great importance. The subject of physics is now making a lot of noise in the capital. If Madam doesn't make achievements soon, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for too long."

Lin Jin looked at Xi Tianrui's back and his eyes darkened.

This means that if physics cannot be put to use as soon as possible, this subject will be stillborn, right? Whose idea is this? Is it Xia Zhengan or the civil and military officials? Is the subject of physics getting in the way of someone? Even experiments are not allowed?

Or maybe it wasn't the physics that attracted attention, but her. Just like Fang Zhining said, she had been too active recently and someone had started to target her.

Lin Jin hurriedly rode on horseback to look for Fang Yuzhu. It was already dark when she arrived at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, but she still asked someone to pass on the message. She would not feel at ease if she did not see Fang Yuzhu today. She had to admit that Xi Tianrui's words made her a little nervous.

Fang Yuzhu held her daughter in her arms and looked at Lin Jin who came in. She asked curiously, "Why do you have time to come to see me today? Didn't you say you have a lot of things to do recently? Are you done with your work now?"

"Of course I came to see you for something." Lin Jin took the tea brought by the maid and took a sip. "Do you know what happened recently?"

Fang Yuzhu paused while stroking the cat, and blinked like Lin Jin usually did: "I know a lot of things, what are you asking?"

"The matter of the Women's Academy is about physics." Lin Jin didn't beat around the bush and told Fang Yuzhu what happened in the Imperial College today, and then repeated Xi Tianrui's ambiguous words, "Is something going to happen?"

Fang Yuzhu was wondering what the matter was, but it turned out to be just this matter.

She chuckled and said, "Why are you panicking? My cousin is the one who rules the world. No matter how much they dance, they still have to listen to the emperor."

"So someone really has an opinion about this?" Lin Jin nodded in understanding, but there was still confusion in his eyes, not understanding why this attracted so much attention. "How can this hinder them?"

In other words, Xia Zhengan had no objection, but all the officials did. They were worried that after the release of physics, more people would study physics, which would help women turn things around and improve their status.

Fang Yuzhu pursed her lips slightly, but soon laughed: "Who knows, maybe he has been in charge of the laws of the world for a long time, and he really thinks he is superior to women."

Lin Jin rubbed his brows. He didn't expect that these people would care more about the superiority of men and women than the wealth and power and status. "Have you been arguing a lot recently?"

"Humph." Fang Yuzhu smiled, tacitly agreeing to this matter, "You don't have to worry about this, just do your job, we are here to support you, what are you afraid of."

Lin Jin exhaled a breath of white air, feeling uncomfortable and suffocated as if there was something covering her heart. She didn't understand why women couldn't stand seeing anything good happen to them: "Is it possible that only girls can study physics? What is the purpose of this subject?"

Is it possible that development is not as important as the hierarchy of men and women? Must everything be controlled by these men?

"Don't worry. Didn't I just say that all this land belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects? No matter how loudly they jump, it is just a matter of one word from Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty agrees, nothing they say will be of any use." Fang Yuzhu knocked on the table, telling her not to take this matter so seriously.

These people are not Song Shiqiu and Su Chengan. They have the ability to force the emperor to abdicate. Even if they do, they are still traitors and should be killed by everyone.

"Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about something else. I have something to ask you." Fang Yuzhu looked at Lin Jin leisurely, with a playful and anticipatory look in her eyes, "Do you know that a lady from the Xu family in Beijing has returned?"

Lin Jin: “Huh?”

What does this have to do with her? She doesn’t even know any Mrs. Xu.

"This lady has been dead for several years." Fang Yuzhu's words were like a bomb that exploded directly in Lin Jin's mind. Lin Jin was completely stunned. She looked at her like this and smiled happily, "I guessed that you would definitely do this."

Lin Jin had just heard Fang Zhining say this not long ago, and was still a little skeptical. She didn't expect Fang Yuzhu to give her the answer directly now. The other party's resurrection had nothing to do with her, it all depended on someone else's words. If it was related to the matter of physics, then who knows, someone might really deliberately make a big deal out of it.

"This is really a headache." Lin Jin didn't take it seriously at first, but now she is a little concerned, "Why do I feel like it's coming for me?"

"Hey, why don't you ask about the resurrection first?" Fang Yuzhu didn't expect that this was what she cared about.

Lin Jin shrugged: "What's the point of asking this? If he really came back to life, then it's not something I should worry about. If it's fake, then it's probably a trap set for me. Can I avoid it?"

If you can't hide, you can only face it.

It is indeed suspicious that people who had been dead for several years were resurrected. Logically, they would have turned into bones now. How could they be resurrected? It couldn't be the same excuse Song Shiqiu gave her at the beginning, that these people were saved by a master, so they escaped.

"That's true. The Xu family has been in a state of unrest recently, but they kept it a secret so no one knows about it." Fang Yuzhu knew that it was because she had her own methods and informants. She leaned close to Lin Jin's ear and said, "I heard that the Xu family wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy."

Lin Jin: “???”

Open the coffin for autopsy? How to examine the bones and what can be verified?

"The lady of the Xu family was born with six fingers. If she really came back to life, either the coffin would be empty or the bones would reveal clues." There are not many people who are born with six fingers. It is not easy to find another dead person with six fingers in a short period of time.

Lin Jin: “???”

What kind of logic is this? What does it matter whether the corpse has six fingers or not? This cannot be used as any evidence at all.

Fang Yuzhu shrugged. In fact, this was just an excuse. If you don't want to admit it, you can turn black into white. It all depends on what the Xu family thinks and which side will win.

"This is simply the opposite of Tiangang." Lin Jin didn't know what to say.
