Chapter 325: Preparing Gifts

King Yong's death was naturally expected by Qi Yu.

However, he insisted that it was not him who assassinated King Yong, but someone else.

Isn't this nonsense?

Who else could it be if not you?

He felt that it would be more appropriate for this bad debt to be placed on Huang Fei's head.

Why do you say that?

You see, I luckily killed Prince Yong by using the colorless and odorless poison he gave me before. So, it was the insidious Huang Fei who indirectly killed the prince.

If we also count the pocket quiver used to kill King Yan, two princes have already died in the hands of Lao Huang.

So Huang Fei has to take the blame for this.

Well, nothing wrong!

At this moment, Huang Fei, who was studying archery in the Annan brothel, suddenly felt a numbness in his nose. He looked up to the sky and sneezed loudly. He thought to himself: I suddenly felt a chill on my back. Could it be that someone is cursing me?

Ahem, guess what?

The book returns to its true story.

Due to the special circumstances this year, I have been busy with Wu Wanrong's affairs after the official opening of the government office. Therefore, I was not able to spare time to attend the 'opening ceremony' of the government school and college. Logically speaking, this

It shouldn't be.

Although Liu Shicheng was appointed to host the ceremony, in terms of influence, it was not even close to one point or two.

You must know that this is the year of the imperial examination. Culture and education are the top priority in governance and must not be ignored.

The children's examination in February and the government examination in April are coming soon. It is necessary to prepare for these government affairs in advance to avoid being too busy. For example, issuing announcements to determine the time and place of the imperial examination, as well as the examination questions and propositions,

etc.

However, these tasks were basically taken care of by Peng Wenchang alone, and Mr. Qi hardly needed to participate too much. What he did was only a symbolic decision.

In order to highlight the fairness of education, Qiyu also included polytechnics in the exams, which are called mid-term exams.

The purpose of this examination is to identify good potential candidates, who can then be trained in key areas and even given special teaching positions.

In this case, wouldn't it be unfair?

There is no way. For now, the education in polytechnics is not systematic, and we can only explore as we go. After the cake is big enough, we will then consider how to divide it evenly. The premise is that we must first divide it.

Make the cake.

Qi Yu composed all the exam questions for the Polytechnic Institute. There was no way he could do it. His pen calligraphy was the best at present. It was so easy to copy, trace and engrave.

Just as I was writing the topic, I suddenly saw a "key" official document presented by Chengfa Fang.

It was a letter from the imperial court's Ministry of Etiquette.

It says that on the occasion of this year's sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, the Holy Emperor got married and a new queen was appointed on the wedding day.

Sure enough, Kunji changed hands.

The new queen's name is Su Liu, and she is from Shandong.

Yes, she is the mysterious noblewoman who once stayed for one night in the old house of Qiyu Yongchuan Mansion.

Generally speaking, the emperor's wedding is a time when everyone in the world rejoices, especially those who are involved in officialdom. No matter whether you are sincere or fake, you must put on a happy face, and you may even be more excited than when you married your own wife.

However, in addition to false performances, there must also be some practical expressions, such as 'Yours sincerely'.

Niang Xipi, you can’t even drink a sip of the wedding wine, but you still have to pay for the gift. It’s really a big loss.

If it’s a loss, put it aside for now, and think carefully about what you can give to our emperor.

This matter really stumped all the officials.

Yes, what should I give as a gift?

Qi Yu spread his hands, signaling for everyone to express their opinions and brainstorm.

All right!

Peng Wenchang was the first to speak out. He believed that if you want to give something, you must give real money and silver. You can fool anyone, but you can't fool the emperor, otherwise it will be disloyal.

Tan Junyan felt that it was good or bad to give money. If the money was given too little, it would feel a bit difficult to handle. But if it was too much, the officials themselves were suspected of being greedy, and it was difficult to control the amount.

Liu Shicheng thought for a while and gave his own suggestion. He said that the Qiongzhou area was rich in seawater pearls. It would be better for the government to spend some manpower and material resources to raise money and present this as a congratulatory gift.

Ren Yu said that although seawater pearls are quite famous, they are far from being considered as rare treasures. It felt a bit unworthy to be given to His Majesty as a congratulatory gift.

In this way, we discussed it for most of the day, but we still couldn't come up with a reason.

Qi Yu sighed and said: "This gift is really difficult to figure out!"

Indeed, how can something that can enter the emperor's eyes be considered ordinary?

I still remember that Meng Lanshan was stumped by this kind of 'Emperor's Gift' when Ding You was at home in Yongchuan Prefecture. Later, he was really at his wits end, so he tried every means to contact him, and he was also there

That "Dafeng Territory Map" was drawn by chance.

Picture~~

Hey! Got it!

Why don't I repeat my old trick and draw another one?

It is indeed feasible to use paintings and other things that not only show face but also gain recognition on the stage.

The key is, save money!

As for what to draw, Qi Yu already had a plan in mind.

How about a three-dimensional version of "Map of Eurasia"?

good!

After establishing this idea, Qi Yu began to collect information, purchase colored ink, and prepare to draw this work. As for the information, it was not particularly difficult to find.

Navigation charts of the Pacific Ocean and local chronicles are good reference materials.

After spending several days, this masterpiece was finally completed.

The three-dimensional effect is good!

At least it looks stunning!

Now that the congratulations are in place, what is missing is a congratulatory form.

How could something like this kind of writing be so rare among those who visited the court?

Let's see how I, Qi Dalang, fool him.

After writing a long flattery for Imam, he emphasized that Qiongzhou was poor and the finances were very tight, so he could not come up with any decent gifts. After thinking about it, Wei Chen finally decided to give

I made a humble painting to show my respect and hope that Your Majesty will accept it.

At the end, he even slapped the dragon's fart: Maybe one day, our Dafeng Dynasty will be the ultimate overlord in this territory.

This phrase implies the expansion of territory. What emperor wouldn’t like to hear it?

Haha, done!

Um?

No, it seems like something is missing.

Oh, now that I think about it, I still have the title of Queen!

Adhering to the principle of saving money when you can, Qi Yu customized a special suit for the Lord of Kunji.

What?

Cheongsam with small opening.

You see, it saves money, right?

Some people may have asked, how did Mr. Qi know the Queen's figure since the mountain is so high and the Emperor is far away?

If you gain weight or lose weight, wouldn't it be a ridiculous act?

Haha, why is this so difficult? Just ask Leng Qing.

You know, the amount of information from internal guards is quite huge. As long as you can pry open their mouths, you can get absolute useful information.

"Ahem, Sister Leng, do you think the Queen's two... balls are so big?" Qi Yu opened his claws and asked with a gesture of grasping.

Leng Qing didn't know how to answer for a while. She thought for a while and replied: "The figure of the new queen is very similar to Miss Yin Tao. If you take this as a guide, you can't go wrong..."
