The conversation didn't last long, and before long, Peng Wenchang said goodbye and left.

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 any longer. 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. He just said a few polite words and let him go.

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 ask, has Qi Dalang returned to his old career and started writing again?

No, no, I have something serious to do this time, and I am making preparations for the education industry in Qiongzhou.

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 develop culture and education and develop people's knowledge.

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 seek science and technology, education comes first. 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.

Details are as follows.

The liberal arts still followed the imperial examination system of the current dynasty. 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 is no way, this place is really too poor, and there was not even a nominal government school established before this. Since we want to develop culture and education, we must try to improve the education system prescribed by the imperial court, and we must not leave it 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, students must have a concept and know what science and engineering is. Facts have proved that it is quite difficult to do this. Let alone ordinary people, even the knowledgeable Peng Wenchang cannot understand it.

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 are a fusion of natural science and engineering technology.

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 was concerned, the academic field of science and engineering was definitely a puzzling wonder, and he had indeed created a historical precedent and became 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 Constant Rules, strange and obscene techniques are not tolerated, and they are not favored by the court in terms of talent selection and appointment. At best, he would just go to the Ministry of Industry and become a junior master.

However, Qi Yu did not think about this. 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 are no ready-made textbooks available for science and engineering, I had to try to write it myself. This is a delicate job, much more rigorous than writing.

From the most basic Arabic numerals, to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and then to basic physics, advanced physics, chemistry, biology, etc., everything cannot be 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 expected to be completed and used, 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 busy!



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 let the messenger from afar take a look at the tea first, and I'll be there 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 official 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 it written on it: 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 the property of merchants, with tens of millions of victims. The Holy Sage said, "If you can't cast the shadow of a vast building, what's the use of the common people?" It is imperative to rectify the universe, enforce discipline and improve people's livelihood. According to the report from the imperial court, all coastal provincial governments will be responsible for investigating adultery and suppressing bandits within three months to completely quell the situation. Anyone who slacks off or is perfunctory during this period will be removed from their posts and severely punished...

Although this official document is not an imperial edict, it indirectly conveys the temple's high intentions. It is not difficult to see that the emperor is 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 being suppressed and bombarded by King Yong. If I don't vent my sulk, I will almost go crazy.

The purpose of Governor Lu's letter was 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 deposed emperor is a major event in the world!

Who is not shocked?

Although Qi Yu didn't know much about the secrets of the palace, he had been a Beijing official for such a long time, so he knew more or less about it. According to the news 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. The following year, she was named the Crown Princess. After Jinshang ascended the throne, she naturally sat on the throne. the queen's throne.

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 Queen Mother play in it?

It feels a bit complicated...

Forget it, forget it, don't think about it, curiosity kills meow, you can only think about secrets like this in your mind, and never say them 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 pillow person. From this point alone, he is obviously inferior to himself.

Are you more sexually blessed than the emperor?

Well, this logic holds true!

At the very least, whether I'm sleeping or making out, I feel at ease and don't have to worry about being cheated on. Look at your Majesty again, if you are bitten by someone inadvertently, who can you 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 dawn, 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!"
