The second half of the eighth year of Jingming was spent in hustle and bustle.
From south to north, there is a commotion!
From time to time, smoke of war would appear, but it would be quickly extinguished.
Every few days, you would hear that a certain family was wiped out and arrested by the Jinwu Guards.
At the beginning, the common people were worried, fearing that they would be affected by this wave.
After a period of time, Xiaomin discovered that although the Jinwu Guards looked ferocious, they would not harm innocent people.
As long as the common people don't join in the commotion, they will be safe.
The common people all over the world breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, I just watched the fun secretly.
As time goes by, I might as well just watch the fun openly.
It’s winter now and we have nothing to do anyway, so we might as well get together and watch the fun and keep warm!
There are people who mediate between the families captured by the Jinwu Guards.
Emperor Liu Zhao issued an edict stating that since they were all citizens of the Great Zhou, and since it was their first offense, they could be released on bail as long as they cooperated with the Shaofu to measure the land, pay the taxes and fines.
If the offense is repeated, severe punishment will be imposed.
The will is conveyed to the world.
The Jinwu Guards have offices in various places, and people come in and out every day to use their connections to arrange bail.
The Shaofu took the opportunity to advance his work.
By the early summer of the ninth year of Jingming, the land in the world had basically been measured.
This is basically consistent with the data held by Sihai Meat and Vegetable Store.
Sihai Meat and Vegetable Restaurant is still the best.
Without making any noise, he went from street to street, from village to village, and without disturbing anyone, he had a clear grasp of the population and the number of acres of land in the world.
Chen Erzhuang made great contributions.
…
"Your Majesty, your foresight is profound and far-sighted. I admire you!"
In the flower hall at dawn, Ren Qiu was playing chess with Gu Jiu, holding the white pieces.
Gu Jiu held the black piece in his hand and gently placed it on the chessboard. "Initially, I just wanted to find out as much as possible about the material production of each village and town to facilitate adjustment of plans. Who would have thought that it would be of such great use."
"Your Majesty is truly too modest! I believe that from the very beginning, Your Majesty has been collecting data with a purpose. After all, no businessman would pay attention to the population and amount of farmland in each village."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "When doing business, it's natural to have as much information as possible. After all, it's not that difficult to find out the population and the amount of farmland in each village."
"It wasn't difficult for Her Majesty, of course! But for the Grand Chamberlain, it nearly cost them their lives. If it weren't for the consistent support of His Majesty and Her Majesty for the Grand Chamberlain, the Jinwu Guard, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, these three offices would have been overthrown by the court officials."
Renqiu flattered sincerely.
Gu Jiu looked up at him, "This is not your style! Do you have something to ask of me?"
Otherwise, why would you go to so much trouble to flatter someone?
After a pause, she added, "I have no shortage of flatterers around me."
So embarrassing!
Renqiu pinched his nose.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, I wish to resign."
"Why are you resigning again?"
This is not the first time Renqiu has wanted to resign.
As early as the reign of Emperor Chengzong Wende, he had threatened to resign several times.
After Liu Zhao ascended the throne, he also threatened to resign.
Ren Qiu said seriously, "Your Majesty, this time I really want to resign. I have been in the officialdom for 10 to 20 years and I don't want to continue."
Gu Jiu chuckled softly, "You also know that you are in the officialdom. Being able to stay in it for ten or twenty years is also a skill. You can continue to do so. The court does not need your salary."
"But being an official is not what I want. Please grant me your blessing, Madam."
Gu Jiu put down the chess piece and looked at him with a frown, "If you don't want to be an official, what do you want to do?"
Ren Qiu said bluntly, "If I tell you I want to leave the capital and travel the world, Your Majesty will probably not agree. After all, I am a talented person, a genius among talents, and Your Majesty would not want a talent like me to pass away."
Tsk tsk tsk…
It's so narcissistic that it's disgusting.
Gu Jiu chuckled, "So you plan to stay in the capital and teach at Shanhe Academy?"
"No! I want to open a college and teach all subjects except the imperial examination."
Hey!
Is Renqiu planning to establish a science and engineering college?
Great!
Gu Jiu became interested and asked, "Tell me what you think."
Renqiu spoke eloquently, "I've already scouted the location. It's right next to Zhixing Academy. I'm not taking the imperial examinations, so there's no competition for me with Zhixing Academy. I'll just teach astronomy, geography, mountains and rivers, numerology, and Taoism... I want to spread my knowledge..."
Renqiu gave a long speech, talking about what he had learned, his ambitions, and his insights and experiences over the years.
He has already written seven or eight books and hopes that Wenqing Bookstore can publish them for him and make them popular.
Gu Jiu listened to him talking for half an hour with a smile.
"That's a great idea! But it's not enough to just talk about it. Make a plan and give it to me along with an implementation plan. If it's feasible, I can promise you that I will fund the establishment of an academy, and you will be the first principal."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Renqiu smiled happily.
Gu Jiu added: "Take this opportunity to establish another medical school."
"Medical school?" Renqiu was surprised. He had this idea, but he had not included medicine in his plan.
He subtly reminded her, "Medicine is often passed down through families, from father to son, and from son to grandson. Your Majesty wants to open a medical school, but who will be the teachers?"
"The imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital will be the first group of teachers at the medical school and will also be members of the medical school's evaluation committee."
"What is a jury?"
"Any doctor in the world can take the medical school entrance exam. The exam is divided into two rounds. The first is a written test. After passing the written test, there is a second round of interviews. If you can get the approval of half of the members of the evaluation committee, you can become a teacher at the medical school. You will receive a generous salary, be free to compile teaching materials, and have the opportunity to be included in the list of famous doctors."
Ren Qiu laughed heartily. "The Famous Doctors' Record is great, very great. It's much better than salary or compiling textbooks. These doctors, when their medical skills reach a certain level, all they seek is fame. Doctors are also the group of people who cherish their reputation the most. A famous doctor's record can lure doctors from all over the world to the capital."
Gu Jiu looked at him with a smile, "Are you interested in becoming the first dean of the medical school?"
"Me? Your Majesty should give this position to the Director of the Imperial Hospital."
"Everyone has selfish motives! Competition in the medical field is particularly fierce, and I know this all too well. It's certainly possible to have the director of the Imperial Hospital serve as the dean of the medical school, but there's no guarantee that selfish motives will get in the way and tarnish the medical school's reputation."
Ren Qiu pinched his chin and pondered for a moment. "Your Majesty, you should know that I only know the basics of observation, auscultation, listening, questioning, and palpation. I have limited knowledge of deeper medical knowledge. I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public to be the dean of the medical school."
Gu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, "Have you ever performed a dissection on a human body?"
Renqiu's face turned pale in an instant.
"I don't know what your Majesty is talking about."
Dissecting the human body was taboo at this time.
Even in Renqiu, we have to be cautious.
Gu Jiu comforted him, "Don't be nervous."
After saying that, she clapped her hands.
Eunuch Xu Yousi brought some people and carried a box to the flower hall.
After putting down the box, he walked out directly.
Gu Jiu nodded and motioned Ren Qiu to open the box.
Renqiu looked suspicious and didn't rush to open the box. Instead, he asked, "Your Majesty, you asked me to be the dean of the medical school. Aren't you afraid that I will be unfair and ruin the reputation of the medical school?"
"Can you?" Gu Jiu asked back.
Ren Qiu laughed heartily. "I quite like to watch the fun, so I wouldn't say I'm being unfair. However, if I became the dean of the medical school, it wouldn't be peaceful. Splitting the school into three or five factions is a simple matter for me."
"Medical schools don't need to be lumped together, because every student has a different direction of study. Don't understand? Then take a look inside the box first."
Renqiu opened the box with some doubt.
Piles of books are neatly stacked together in boxes in the house.
There are about forty or fifty books in total, including "Elementary Anatomy", "Elementary Pediatrics", "Gynecological Theory", and "Basics of Surgery".
Renqiu was secretly shocked, with too many questions rolling in his throat.
He picked up a book at random, and was amazed by the content of the book and couldn't bear to put it down.
He only regretted that the occasion was not right, otherwise he would have gone into seclusion and read all these books in one go.
Gu Jiu coughed lightly, "Don't ask where these books came from. What you need to do is verify the content of the books and promote them. Some of these books have truly broken through people's cognition. Once released, they will definitely cause a sensation. You must be careful and proceed step by step. Don't rush. Therefore, you must write a detailed implementation plan. Only after the implementation plan is approved will I allocate funds to build the academy and medical school."
Ren Qiu nodded heavily. "Don't worry, Your Majesty! Although I'm very curious about the origins of these books, I know I shouldn't ask about them. I will personally verify the contents of the books to ensure they are authentic and feasible. I will be the first reader of these books and the first promoter."
"I believe in you."
"What about my resignation?" Renqiu was still thinking about it.
Gu Jiu laughed and said, "You don't have to go to the government office to work tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your majesty is far-sighted and I deeply admire you."
"Stop flattering me! Your ability to flatter me is not even one tenth of the people around me."
"So, Your Majesty is dissatisfied with my lack of flattery skills. Your Majesty, rest assured, I will practice diligently and strive to catch up."
"You're not going to be a palace servant, so why are you practicing?"
Renqiu felt a chill all over his body, and then he laughed foolishly twice.
"I'm leaving!"
Gu Jiu felt relieved as he watched Renqiu leave with a box of books.
She wrote down all the medical knowledge she knew and could promote.
Next, the task of promotion was handed over to Renqiu.
He was a man of wild imagination, and although the theories he put forward were shocking, they were not unacceptable.
After all, everyone has become accustomed to Renqiu's strange practices and the fact that people do things their own way.
…
"Master Ren, please wait a moment."
Xu Yousi chased out and said, "This is a gift from my queen to Lord Ren. The queen said that Lord Ren would definitely be able to use it."
"What gift!" Renqiu asked casually.
"We don't know! Lord Ren, why not open it and take a look yourself."
Renqiu opened the wooden box in front of Xu Yousi.
A set of surgical instruments emitting a cold glow were neatly placed in a wooden box.
Bang!
Renqiu closed the wooden box tightly to block Xu Yousi's prying eyes.
His face was full of surprise and shock, and he couldn't wait to try out this set of surgical instruments. As for the corpse, there was always a way to get it.
"Thank you, Eunuch Xu. Goodbye!"
