Under Qi Yu's special promotion, preparations for Chinese novels in multiple languages began to proceed in an orderly manner.
This move, on the surface, seems to be a form of communication, but in fact it is a covert 'invasion'.
In a sense, the collision of cultures is an ideological war with no smoke in sight.
However, the battlefield is set in people's minds.
Compared with the low-key layout of publishing novels, the public opinion caused by newspapers is much more lively.
The article "Reflections on Reading the Deer's Ming Banquet" had just appeared in the newspaper, and it immediately caused an uproar.
The issue of how to correct learning attitudes soon became the focus of discussion.
At the end of the article, Guo Chunhai also specifically quoted Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments" as a comment, saying: A husband and a gentleman's journey is to cultivate one's morality through tranquility, and to cultivate virtue through frugality. Without indifference, there is no clear ambition, and without tranquility, there is no progress...
…
Although Qi Yu didn't respond from the beginning to the end, it didn't mean that he wasn't secretly paying attention.
In addition to observing the effect of purging bad academic styles, he also paid special attention to the young talent Guo Chunhai.
"This boy is very talented and has extraordinary understanding. He is like a piece of flawless jade. If he is carefully carved, he will become a great weapon in the future!" Qi Yu specially found Luo Yuan for this purpose and warned him.
Old Man Luo was overjoyed when he saw Lord Qi praising his beloved disciple so much.
He nodded and said: "My lord, please rest assured. I will leave no stone unturned to pass on what I have learned in my life. I will try my best to shine in my twilight years. I don't want peaches and plums all over the world, but I want a tree to become a pillar!"
Lao Ji Fufeng!
Thumbs up!
Qi Yu did not hide his inner admiration at all and gave Luo Yuan a thumbs up.
With him as a leading figure in the literary world, why worry about traditional culture not flourishing?
After talking about education, Qi Yu asked about others.
For example, what about those foreign professors?
Luo Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "Those of them have already passed the golden age of seeking knowledge. How can they learn well?"
"Can't learn well? What does it matter?" Qi Yu smiled nonchalantly and said: "My idea is not complicated. I just want to brainwash them and then contribute to China's cultural communication. There is nothing else.
Others. To be honest, I have no intention of letting them grow into real Chinese experts."
Just taking advantage of it?
Understood.
After expressing his position, Qi Yu added: "In my opinion, the current 'Confucius Institute' is just an experimental model. After the base of students has truly grown, I will encourage these foreigners to come to them."
I want to open branches in my motherland, use this method of spreading from overseas to expand our cultural front, and then increase the global influence of our Chinese culture. As the saying goes, stones from other mountains can attack jade!"
Spreading foreign knowledge to foreign countries?
This method is good!
Moreover, this stone from other mountains is used very well and fully.
After bidding farewell to Luo Yuan, Qi Yu went straight back home to prepare for dinner.
Since Xiaotong returned home, the Qi family's meals have become much more punctual. Only when the bright star loomed slightly did the hot meals arrive on the dining table.
Look, braised pork head with a single firewood, first-class champion chicken, etc., are all the traditional signature dishes of Lao Qi's family.
One word, fragrant!
Qi Yuqing held the small wine glass, but he was reluctant to speak. He seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Liu Quan saw this and asked curiously: "Ms. sir, do you have something to say?"
Hearing this, Xiaotong and Zhou also put down their chopsticks and looked at the head of the family.
Qi Yu sighed quietly and said: "Since Tao'er and Xiao'er left home, I miss them day and night. However, government affairs are entangled and I can't escape, so I have to wait patiently. But now, the locust plague has returned.
The imperial examination is over, and it's time to take a boat to the north. Here, I want to use the jade seal I got to exchange for their return home."
This is something I have been thinking about for a long time, and I feel uneasy until it is resolved.
Who else would it not be like?
Xiaotong nodded first, then said worriedly: "Father, if you leave, who will be in charge of the provincial government?"
Qi Yu said with a smile: "Today's Qiongzhou has good governance and good people, and everything is prosperous. What else is there to worry about? In other words, as long as there is no invasion by foreign enemies, our development will be as stable as Mount Tai."
"But if you leave, who will be in charge? I mean, if there is an emergency, who will make the decision?"
"Well..."
Qi Yu thought for a while and said with a smile: "How about you come and try this position?"
"I?"
"Um!"
"In this way, I will not give you any nominal rights, but I will give you the seal and ribbon for safekeeping. If there is an emergency, you can use this to stabilize the overall situation."
this……
Xiaotong frowned and said, "Daughter, can I... do it?"
"You used to be brave but not calm, but after going through the baptism of the Nanyang War, you have been transformed. Through your secret support of Leng Qing and the pardon of Emperor Jianwu, we can see that you already possess the qualities
It shows a certain degree of political wisdom. It's just that the firepower is a little lacking." Qi Yu said without hiding his pride at all.
Seeing the praise, Xiaotong was slightly shy and said: "I...how could I not be as awesome as I said..."
Qi Yu laughed and said, "You don't have to be too nervous. Qiongzhou is stable now, so how can there be any big test? Just think of it as an opportunity to learn."
"..."
In the end, with Qi Yu's initiative, the matter was settled.
After avoiding her mother and grandmother, Xiaotong asked in private.
"Father, do you feel safe coming to Beijing this time? Emperor, will you give you some shoes to wear?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty will never do it!"
"Why?"
"First of all, we have obtained the lost jade seal of the country. This is a big trump card. Your Majesty will not embarrass me based on the consideration that the secret will not be leaked. In addition, our aid to Huguang has gained a lot of people's support. Your Majesty has also
How can I risk the disdain of the world and deliberately create difficulties? Especially the second point, with the people supporting me, what else is there to be afraid of?"
This is indeed the truth.
At critical moments, the support of ordinary people is still very powerful.
If you help them in times of need, they will definitely repay your kindness and come back. The care of the people is much more effective than the iron coupons of the elixir book.
The king is the boat; the people are the water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
Which emperor is not afraid of public anger?
Therefore, the emperor would definitely not dare to mess around.
After saying that, Qi Yu sighed softly: "Have you seen, the main reason why my father dares to stand up and defy the power of heaven is because there are thousands of people supporting me! It can be seen that the public support is the key to career.
The true talisman in.”
Xiaotong suddenly understood, nodded and said: "My daughter has memorized my father's teachings."
