The conversation didn't last long, and Peng Wenchang said goodbye and left not long after.
At present, he has moved out of Qi Yu's official residence and rented a house in Fucheng.
He had heard that Qi Yu's family was about to move south and it would be inconvenient for him to live there. In this case, he might as well move out as soon as possible to avoid being too busy then.
For now, everyone has their own salary and there are no difficulties in life. Therefore, Qi Yu did not force him to stay, but after a few polite words, he allowed him to leave.
They just moved to another place to live, so what’s the fuss about?
It is said that after Peng Wenchang left, Qi Yu went into the study and started working overtime.
During this period, he didn't go to bed until after three o'clock almost every day, and he kept writing every night without a break.
Someone may have asked, has Qi Dalang returned to his old career and started writing novels again?
No, no, I have something serious to do this time, and I am making preparations for Qiongzhou’s education.
Qiongzhou Institute of Technology is about to be built, but the tutorials for professors have not yet been released.
The next policy focus is to promote culture and education and start to educate the people.
Theoretically speaking, culture and education should start from childhood, but Qiongzhou’s situation is special. It is not only necessary to carry out early childhood enlightenment, but also to popularize juvenile education.
If conditions permit, Qiyu would like to open adult literacy classes.
If we pursue science and technology, education comes first, and development without the support of talents will not go far.
As a time traveler, Qi Yu naturally has a forward-looking vision that others do not have. He clearly divides education into two major parts: "liberal arts" and "science".
The main purpose is to separate arts and sciences and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.
The details are as follows.
The liberal arts still followed the imperial examination system of the current dynasty, and the teaching materials were mainly based on the Four Books, Five Classics and major classics. While inheriting and promoting traditional Chinese culture, it also cultivated and supplied talents for the imperial court.
In order to accomplish this important task, Qi Yu also specially built a brand-new Qiongzhou Fuxue. There was no way, this place was too poor, and there was not even a nominal Fuxue established before. Since he wanted to develop culture and education
, we must try to improve the education system prescribed by the imperial court so that it cannot fall behind.
In science, we should try to focus on cultivating practical talents. You must know that this type of talents is the backbone of promoting social development, and they are also innovators and creators of science and technology.
However, this kind of academic promotion requires a process. First of all, students must have a concept and know what science and engineering are. And facts have proved that it is quite difficult to do this, let alone ordinary people.
Even the knowledgeable Peng Wenchang could not understand.
Qi Yu explained to him: Science and engineering is a broad field, which includes various applications and combinations of mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, biology and engineering. In fact, science and engineering belong to the fusion of natural science and engineering technology.
Fusion.
Even though he explained everything in detail, he still said he didn't understand.
This made Qi Yu realize firsthand that as far as the current Dafeng Dynasty is concerned, science and engineering are definitely a puzzling wonder, and he has indeed created a historical precedent and become the so-called originator.
So the question is, will the imperial court’s Ministry of Etiquette recognize this type of special talent?
The answer is: no.
In this era that pays attention to the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Rules, strange and obscene skills are not tolerated, and they will not be favored in the selection and appointment of talents by the court. At best, the most you can do is to work as a little master in the Ministry of Industry.
However, Qi Yu did not think about this aspect. To say the least, even if the court wanted it, he would not be willing to give it to him.
Haha, since I can train them, I have the confidence to place them well and let them apply what they have learned.
Since there were no ready-made textbooks for science and engineering, I had to try to write it myself. This is a delicate job, much more rigorous than writing a novel.
From the most basic Arabic numerals, to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and then to basic physics, advanced physics, chemistry, biology, etc., nothing was left behind. Anyway, Qi Yu compiled everything he knew and understood.
.
Currently, the construction of the college is in progress. In two or three months, it is estimated that it will be completed and ready for use, including the mysterious science and technology research institute.
In fact, what Qi Yu wants to build most is a new government office in Qiongzhou, so that his family can live more comfortably.
Unfortunately, the production of cement is still seriously insufficient, so we have to use limited resources first.
Rome was not built in a day, this requires a process and cannot be rushed.
"The road is long and long, I will search up and down..." After sighing with emotion, Qi Yu rubbed his red eyes and continued writing at his desk.
"As long as you persist for a few more days, the basic tutorial will be almost finished..."
"..."
The busy official duties and long hours of staying up late made Qi Dalang even darker and thinner.
The documents are so laborious!
…
Not long after, there was a sudden barking from a nearby deep alley.
Then, a clerk on duty ran in to report that an official document from the provincial government had arrived, with the word "urgent" written on it.
Have an urgent business?
Of course this cannot be delayed!
"You first let the messenger from afar take a look at the tea, and I will arrive soon." Qi Yu put down the pen and paper and said with a yawn.
"yes!"
Qi Dalang walked out of the official residence after washing his face, and the messenger was also called to the second hall to meet with him by the pian of the reception room.
After the ceremony, the man directly presented the official document.
Qi Yu took it and spread it out, only to see that it read: The emperor was shocked to learn that bogus Japanese pirates often cause trouble on the shores of Litu, disturbing the peace of the people and plundering merchants' property, with tens of millions of victims. His Majesty said, if
If we cannot cast a shadow over the vast mansion, what will happen to the common people? It is imperative to rectify the universe, maintain discipline, and improve people's livelihood. According to the imperial court, all coastal provincial governments will investigate adultery within three months.
, go out to suppress the bandits and completely quell this situation. Anyone who slacks off or is perfunctory during this period will be dismissed from their posts and severely punished...
Although this official document was not an imperial edict, it indirectly conveyed the temple's high intentions. It was not difficult to see that the emperor was going to take action against the fake Japanese.
Haha, that’s a good thing!
However, Qi Yu read another meaning from it, that is, although the emperor showed his power, he did not hold the governors accountable for their dereliction of duty. Could it be that this was intended to allow them to quell the false Japanese?
Atoning for one's sins?
A bit like.
No matter what, the emperor still left enough face for the feudal officials.
Continue to interpret this official document.
If the holy meaning is applied to Guangdong Mansion, wouldn't it mean that the local snake like King Yong is going to be touched?
Could it be that... Yin Jun really spoke for himself?
Haha, Bai Mianshou is a good man, and the emperor is also very wise, both are good.
In the recent period, I have been constantly bombarded by King Yong, and if I don't vent my sullen words, I will almost go crazy.
The purpose of Governor Lu's letter is to prepare himself mentally and take corresponding self-protection measures in advance.
Just when Qi Yu was secretly wondering whether it was possible to take advantage of the fire or take advantage of it, he suddenly heard the messenger say again: "Sir Qi, Mr. Lu also has a private message for you, please read it."
"Oh? Bring it over!"
"yes!"
After taking it, Qi Yu first glanced at the fire paint at the seal. After seeing that it was intact, he opened it and looked at it. He saw that there was only one sentence on it: Kunji changed hands, beware of undercurrents.
What?
Qi Yu was horrified and looked shocked!
So, what does this sentence mean?
Kunji is another name for the mother and queen of the country. The change of ownership of Kunji naturally means that the emperor has been dethroned.
As for the following sentence, beware of undercurrents, it roughly means to be more cautious, watch more, and never get caught up in the surging undercurrents.
The dethronement of the emperor is a major event in the world!
Who is not horrified?
Although Qi Yu didn't know much about the secrets of the palace, he had been a Beijing official for so long, so he had heard about it more or less. According to the information released by the Zongren Mansion, Queen Hu, the owner of Jiaofang, was originally from Shandong Mansion.
She was admitted to the palace after being recommended by the royal family, and she was named the Crown Princess the following year. After she ascended the throne, she naturally sat on the throne of the queen.
People in official circles often say: She is beautiful and dignified, known for her virtue, and is often praised by the clan and courtiers.
Why waste such a good man?
It’s so puzzling…
Suddenly!
A small detail from the past appeared in Qi Yu's mind.
King Yan said that he had laid a so-called hidden line in the palace, and this Queen Hu happened to be from Shandong Mansion. Could it be...
It is indeed possible.
King Yan was dying in a hurry at that time. Before his death, he only uttered the words "Empress Dowager" intermittently and did not really finish the words. Perhaps, he happened to miss Empress Hu.
If this speculation is true, what role did the Empress Dowager play in it?
It feels a bit complicated...
Forget it, forget it, don't think about it, curiosity kills meow, you can just keep a secret like this in your mind and never say it openly.
However, the term 'change of ownership' also implies another layer of meaning, that is, a new noble has risen in the harem, and she has successfully overthrown the queen and replaced her.
After the messenger left, Qi Yu couldn't help but sigh to himself: Tsk tsk, although the emperor has three thousand beauties, it is difficult to find a caring person to sleep with. From this point alone, he is obviously not as good as himself.
Are you more sexually blessed than the emperor?
Well, this logic is very valid!
At the very least, whether I am sleeping or making love, my heart is at ease, and I don’t have to worry about being bitten by someone. Look at the emperor again, if someone bites him inadvertently, who can he talk to for explanation?
Just as I was thinking about what I was proud of, I suddenly heard a yamen servant reminding me: "Sir, it's daybreak, it's time to prepare for the unveiling of the 'Product Patrol Room'."
"Oh..." Qi Yu rubbed his slightly sleepy eyes, nodded and said: "Let's go!"
