The matter of the overseas visit was settled in this way.
But in terms of time, Qi Xiaotong just replied vaguely, "It will be after the new year." As for the specific time to set off, she did not make it clear.
This does not mean that she is careless in state affairs, but because she has concerns.
Great Britain is thousands of miles away from Australia. Even if the steam engine is turned on to its maximum power, it will take a year or more to make the round trip.
And during this period, who will be in charge of domestic administration?
Xie Jiong and Dong Yun, it is okay to let them carry out the administration step by step, but if they are asked to predict the administration, it will be a bit difficult.
In other words, after you leave, you will face the embarrassing situation of having no one available.
We must clearly understand that Australia is not only China's expanded territory, but also the only retreat for the Qi family. No matter what, there must be no mistakes.
The only solution is to find available talents before leaving.
However, Dahua has only just been founded, and the people’s wisdom is still waiting to be enlightened. How can there be any dusty talent to save the world?
Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you are unlikely to get a big harvest.
Or, don’t go to Great Britain?
That's not OK?
If the Rakshasa Kingdom was not defeated, wouldn't Uncle Qi Jing have to fight hard in Mobei all year round?
In addition, Hong Tao clearly mentioned in his letter that the future war is unpredictable, and it may take three to five years, or even ten years, to achieve real victory.
He could afford to wait for such a long time, but he couldn't afford to waste it!
By then, it is estimated that even the tail of youth will not be able to be grasped.
In order to avoid the tragic situation of "a general dies in a hundred battles and a strong man returns in ten years", he must do his part and speed up this matter.
Today, for the first time, Qi Xiaotong felt personally how important talents are. It is no wonder that his father attaches so much importance to public education. If the support of talents is lost, what development plan can be discussed?
Alas!
I urge God to cheer up and send talents of any kind!
As the saying goes, you have something to think about every day and something to dream about at night.
That night, Xiaotong had a dream about a talent coming from heaven.
However, I never expected that this time my dream would actually come true!
Early the next morning, an urgent official document suddenly arrived, and the place where it was signed was his father, Mr. Qi.
Let’s talk about the content of the official document first.
After a few relatively simple greetings, Qi Yu briefly summarized the good news about moving Fu Renyi to Australia as the governor. In the article, he emphasized that this person must be reused and must not be neglected.
.
In addition to recruiting talents, he also introduced domestic matters such as his appointment as the governor of Nanyang and the country's Shaobao. As for the war disturbances in the capital, he only mentioned them in a few spring and autumn strokes, all of which were understated.
The end of the letter is basically some words of encouragement.
He solemnly told his daughter that she must work hard to govern and not be lazy in government, let alone act on impulse, start troubles, etc.
This article contains only about two hundred words at most.
However, Qi Xiaotong's heart warmed and tears filled her eyes when she saw it.
It is often said that as parents, they will put themselves in their children's shoes and resolve all the difficulties that their children may encounter in advance, so that they can be at peace with the world without any distractions.
Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.
Wasn't the problem he faced cleverly solved by his father's hand?
ah……
It feels so good to be pampered by your parents!
In fact, Qi Yu still had reservations and was not truly open and honest.
First of all, there is absolutely no mention of the news about Meng Lanshan's death in this letter.
The little cotton-padded jacket is extremely loved by the old man. If he knew this bad news, wouldn't he burst into tears?
Qi Yu felt that if the matter faded away for a while before mentioning it to her, it would not seem so sad after time passed.
Secondly, he also did not reveal anything about his family's return home.
There is no other reason, but I am worried that this little girl will be homesick away from home, which will only make her sad after learning about it.
In addition to the above, there is one more thing that Qi Yu did not mention.
That is, how he moved Fu Renyi.
The operation of this section can be described as painstaking.
This is probably what happened.
After Qi Yu decided to start looking for talents, he immediately went to Fu Renyi's retreat.
Earlier, in accordance with traditional etiquette, he sent a fine person to deliver the assassination in his own hand, and stated the date of request in the invitation.
Unexpectedly, when the day came, the old man Fu who was at home perfunctory actually broke the appointment directly on the grounds that he had not returned from an outing.
Just like that, Qi Dalang returned chattering.
Three days later, he once again prepared a generous gift and went to ask for it in person.
However, this time, it still failed.
Fu Renyi declined Qi Yu's pious request for an audience again, citing the inconvenience caused by the cold.
Once again, it was fruitless.
After two consecutive setbacks, Qi Yu couldn't help but pay more attention to it.
He had a feeling in the dark that the other party's move was a deliberate attempt to test his sincerity and see if he was really condescending to seek talents and treating virtuous corporals as the legend said.
After becoming an official, Fu Renyi could only be regarded as a corporal.
After coming back to his senses, Qi Dalang continued his efforts and came to see him again the next day.
According to the perfunctory words of the servant who opened the door, his husband's condition improved after taking a dose of decoction, but he was not cured. At present, the old man was sweating under the bed to relieve his symptoms, so it was not suitable to go out to see the wind.
The secret meaning is that it is still missing.
"It doesn't matter! I'll just wait here peacefully until he stops sweating."
"this……"
In this way, Qi Yu stood in the courtyard of the Fu family, standing in the ice and snow for two full hours.
Chengmen Lixue in ancient times was probably nothing more than this, right?
In the end, Qi Dalang succeeded in impressing the worried Fu Renyi with his full sincerity.
The latter decided to come out again to show off his talents in the so-called Australia and benefit the country.
Seeing Old Man Fu's heroic appearance and generosity, Qi Yu was also inspired to feel proud.
Due to his temperament, he made a promise on the spot: descendants of the Fu family can enjoy various welfare benefits for free throughout Nanyang, such as education, medical care, housing, etc.
You can even promote talents without avoiding relatives, and choose to serve as officials only if they are worthy of their position.
"Master Qi is so kind, how dare I not do my best?"
"Haha, I have Brother Fu like a fish in water!"
After his wish was fulfilled, Qi Yu immediately made arrangements for the next action.
Fu Renyi took a special ship directly to Australia to assist Xiaotong in handling government affairs. His family members and descendants can go with him to reunite, or they can live temporarily in Qiongzhou. You can choose between the two.
As for himself, he set off immediately and rushed to Yongchuan Mansion to reunite with his family.
