In Chinese culture, there is a very famous idiom called "Long nights and many dreams".
The meaning of this word is that if you delay it for a long time, changes may occur that are detrimental to you.
Andre thought so, and Qi Yu was no exception.
Since both parties are interested in speed, the efficiency of work will naturally be improved.
Three days later, the two parties signed a landmark "Qiongzhou Treaty" at the provincial government office and witnessed by a number of subordinate officials.
This is the first of its kind in history!
According to the provisions of the Treaty, France must make symbolic war reparations. In order to show their sincerity, they also decided to sever diplomatic relations with Fuso and Sarawak!
Abandon darkness and embrace light?
Seems to be!
The day after the leak came out, "Qiongzhou Daily" reported this major event with the largest space in its history.
Front-page headlines and sub-page headlines abound.
In an instant, there seemed to be a huge uproar that spread throughout the streets and alleys, making it known to every household, women and children.
The intensity of the debate is no less intense than the enthusiasm of the people who opened up new territories.
ah! !
Have the arrogant foreigners paid compensation to Qiongzhou?
Think about it, it’s so shameless!
The people were beating gongs and drums, setting off firecrackers, and were so happy that even the anti-pornography brother who repaired broken shoes at the roadside stall felt very proud.
Just as Qi Yu expected, although these small sums of money were not much, their influence was far-reaching.
In short, it can not only increase China's national pride and military self-confidence, but also reshape the image of our heavenly country as a great country.
The history of humiliation in the previous life is all hell!
Get out of here, you humiliator!
Okay, let's look further afield.
This move can not only weaken Franco's international status, but also provoke political relations between him and Western powers. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Before long, he will be isolated from the pack of wolves and become a loner.
This is the advanced state of gaming. You can defeat your enemy without fighting.
Back to business.
Only one day later, "Qiongzhou Daily" once again published a heavyweight editorial article.
Look, the author's signature is that of the notorious Guo Chunhai and Guo Xiaocaizi.
He said in the article: The signing of the "Qiongzhou Treaty" marked that the era of being passively beaten has passed. Today, Nanyang has become an overseas powerhouse that scares foreigners. And all of this was accomplished with our real swords and guns! As Mr. Qi said, a weak country has no diplomacy!
These sharp words immediately became the focus of heated discussion among the scholars. Not only that, it has also been recited sentence by sentence by storytellers like a classic.
For a time, Guo Chunhai's name suddenly became famous.
Last year, he publicly spoke out about the relocation of the Huanqiong Railway, and then gained a good reputation as a petitioner for the people.
But now, when he rises to the top and shouts like this, his image immediately becomes great.
After this incident, no one would make fun of him anymore.
Afterwards, someone couldn’t help but ask:
He is just a young boy with poor talent. What qualifications do he have to publish a commentary in the "Qiongzhou Daily"? Even if he has some writing skills, he wouldn't be so high-profile, right?
Yes, those older scholars have not come out to show off. Why do you, a child half a year old, promote literature?
At this time, someone knowledgeable came out to clear up the doubts: Little did you know that Guo Chunhai's move was specially authorized by Mr. Qi.
What, what, what?
Why is it involving Mr. Qi again?
People who understand explain: Is it known? Previously, Guo Chunhai had asked for a privilege from Mr. Qi, saying that as long as he passed the imperial examination this year and passed the imperial examination, Mr. Qi would allow him to open a column in the "Qiongzhou Daily" to criticize current abuses.
oh……
So that's what happened.
Not only the common people, but also Qi Yu looked at this kid with a special regard.
I really didn't expect that this boy actually passed the college examination and also won the coveted honor of being a student member.
What is even more worth mentioning is that he actually won the first prize in the case.
Qi Yu was very sure that Guo Chunhai was the youngest and most talented childhood scholar in Qiongzhou, and even in the entire Dafeng Kingdom.
hehe!
How can it not be gratifying when culture and education are like this?
After sighing with emotion, Qi Yu realized that it seemed that it was time to release the results of the provincial examination!
Isn’t it a problem to delay it any longer?
Therefore, Yang Gonglin asked in private: "Master Qi, how should the results of this subject be drawn up?"
Qi Yu stroked his beard and thought, and said: "Don't be impatient, just let me think about it..."
Generally speaking, local officials are prohibited from interfering in the evaluation of rural examinations.
However, this time it was different. Favoritism and malpractice unexpectedly occurred.
If we say that there is no human intervention, wouldn't it be that the fairness that should be lost is lost?
In view of this, Qi Yu had no choice but to operate in secret.
In front of the law and the people, he stood decisively in front of the latter.
"In this way, we will remove the two candidates who cheated for personal gain and then kick them off the list. As for the others, no action will be taken and their original results will be retained."
"okay!"
After thinking for a while, Yang Gonglin asked again: "Should we try to destroy those two fraudulent test papers?"
That means destroying the corpse and eradicating traces?
Why do you say this way?
According to the current system, examination papers for rural examinations and above must be sealed and submitted to the Ministry of Rites for preservation to facilitate future reference and verification.
This method is a bit like the archive storage system in the previous life. No matter how high or low the performance is, a visible and solid foundation must be left.
If it is destroyed, no such certificate will be found in the future.
If the plate is preserved, it will be transferred to the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court for management. That way, it would be out of your control.
If they really wanted to review it, they would be sure to find some clues. Once an accident occurs, you will get into unnecessary trouble.
In contrast, destruction is the best option.
However, Qi Yu shook his head and said: "Those two papers must not be damaged. They are handed over to the Ministry of Rites intact for preservation. If anything happens, I will deal with it."
response?
How to deal with it?
Yang Gonglin was confused when he heard it. He knew it but didn't know why.
However, Mr. Qi has already given the order, so he has to act according to the plan.
How can we get along well with each other as old friends?
However, little did he know that Qi Yu had already prepared a countermeasure.
With the ironclad evidence in hand, what else is there to be afraid of?
