"Send an emissary to the Ottomans?"

After the covenant was signed, Li Wei took the envoy of the king of Chu to the Wei family restaurant to rest, and at this time Xiao Ming proposed another plan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Your Highness, where is this Ottoman? We don't know what he said, and how did he go to the Ottomans? Fiji and Pang Yukun glanced at each other, and both felt that this plan was very risky, and it was even impossible for the envoy to come back alive.

Of course, Xiao Ming understood what the two meant, such a shocking plan was only tried by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at the beginning, and there were too many coincidences that Zhang Qian was able to come back.

However, this time is not that time, the current Age of Discovery is not the environment faced by the Han Dynasty, this time Xiao Ming is ready to let the mission set off from the sea to the Ottomans, as long as the Ottomans can make trouble for the barbarians in Central Asia, the pressure on his side will be much less.

As for whether it will succeed or not, you will never know if you don't try.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming said: "This envoy to the Ottoman mission is prepared by this king, don't worry, as for where this Ottoman Empire is, this king also knows in his heart, but you have been in the Bowen Academy for so long, haven't you seen the knowledge of other countries?" ”

"Your Highness, the old minister has only looked at some maps of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom, and Goguryeo, and these have not yet been seen." Fiji seems to be taken for granted.

Pang Yukun was a little embarrassed, and he didn't look at it, because in his mind, there were only two parts of the world, one was the Great Chongqing Country, and the other was a country outside the Great Chongqing Country.

As for the history of other countries, the development of which he is not at all interested.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming had a plan in his heart, to put it simply, in the hearts of these officials of the Great Yu Kingdom, the concept of the Heavenly Empire is still deep-rooted, and they don't bother to know about other countries at all.

Although he was angry, Xiao Ming also understood that people of an era had the thoughts of people of an era, compared to Fiji and Pang Yukun, some young officials were willing to understand the current situation in the world, so he had been planning to stuff some young and promising officials into the cabinet to contain conservative officials like Pang Yukun and Fiji, so as not to have no one to help him and these people in the future.

Xiao Ming took care of the affairs of the mission, and the two of them were speechless, and they were just worried, but if they could really send the mission to the Ottomans, they would be happy to see it.

The covenant was signed, the mission was finalized, Fiji and Pang Yukun glanced at each other, and Pang Yukun stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the government affairs of this feudal country have to be dealt with, but should Your Highness also think about the matter of extending the heir?" ”

"Extended heirs? Isn't this the king's private business? Xiao Ming immediately became vigilant, the two old foxes smiled weirdly, quite a precursor to singing double reeds.

Sure enough, after Pang Yukun said it, Fiji said bitterly: "Your Highness, the emperor's family affairs are state affairs, and this continuous heir is the most important thing. ”

Pang Yukun hesitated: "Your Highness, speaking of which, the princess has been in the palace for nearly a year, do you need to call the imperial doctor to check the pulse of His Royal Highness and the princess." ”

"No need." Xiao Ming really wanted to kick it over when he heard it, he didn't have any problem, these two old people were a little too worried.

Fiji's eyes rolled, as if he and Pang Yukun had reached an agreement, and he said: "Your Highness, this matter is very important, and the old minister is ...... selfless."

Seeing that the two of them were endless, Xiao Ming said angrily: "Shut up, this king has his own sense of proportion." ”

After that, Xiao Ming fled away from the mansion, leaving only Fiji and Pang Yukun looking at each other.

"Pang Changshi, did you say that Your Highness has another woman in your heart, why is Your Highness so tired of this matter." Fiji was worried, this Fei Yue'er was her daughter, and he didn't want his daughter to be wronged from any point of view.

Pang Yukun recalled and said: "Impossible, His Royal Highness and the princess are very affectionate, and people often see the princess and Her Royal Highness going in and out, and there has never been a quarrel between the two in the palace." ”

"That's strange, what does Your Highness think?" Fiji has a dark cloud, which seems to him to be too abnormal, and many people are already talking about it in secret.

Pang Yukun frowned when he saw Fiji, and he said: "I mentioned this matter to His Highness before, and His Highness ignored it, but His Highness is not worried, we who are courtiers can't help but think about His Highness, and now that there is an old man in Feige, you and I will mention this matter to Your Highness every once in a while, I am not afraid that Your Highness will not accept it, how to say that this is also one of the top priorities." ”

These words hit Fiji's mind, and he said: "With Pang Shoufu's words, even if you don't want to show your face, you have to do this thing." ”

The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

Here, Xiao Ming went to Bowen College after leaving the government, and the world was in turmoil, and the development of the feudal country could not be stopped, but the development of education should be accelerated.

And because of Xiao Wenxuan's death, the last shackles on his body have also been untied, and from now on, he can boldly develop astronomy in the fiefdom, popularize the current development situation of the world, and clarify the concept of nation and state, without worrying that someone will criticize him.

After all, every time there is a war, Confucianism's control over the secular is always the weakest, everyone is trying to survive, who still holds the classics to find him to touch the head, in fact, the current Qufu Confucian family is also in panic.

Therefore, in view of this, Xiao Ming officially sent astronomy books and telescopes to the Bowen College, established an astronomy branch, and recruited talented people who have studied astronomy to participate in the study of astronomy.

When he arrived at the door of Bowen College, the students wearing white robes and uniforms entered Xiao Ming's eyes.

With Lin Wentao, Lu Tong and other students obtaining knighthoods and private estates, the folk scholars gradually went from resisting to sharpening their heads to enter the academy, one of the changes in this situation is because Xiao Ming used the last Confucian trouble to cut off the way for scholars to enter the officialdom without orthodox education, and at the same time, because of the war, the scholars have no chance to see the imperial examination.

On the contrary, some scholars seem to see an opportunity, and they want to work for Xiao Ming, looking forward to Xiao Ming being able to sit on the dragon chair one day, so that they can soar.

Of course, this is just some official fans, in addition to this kind of scholars, some scholars who like craftsmanship and skills have also increased, and under the deliberate guidance of Xiao Ming, there are also some children of folk craftsmen who have also entered the academy to participate in the study of various scientific knowledge.

Because of the accumulation of two or three years, there are also a group of students who have mastered all kinds of scientific knowledge in the Bowen College, although their level is only at the level of junior high school and high school, but it is more than enough to teach the students who have just entered the school.

As a result, the College of Liberal Arts was unprecedentedly lively during this period, and the number of students rose to 8,000.
