Although the reasons Ji Liang gave sounded mysterious and were seen as "serious nonsense" by everyone in Langyun, it was undeniable that the effect was indeed excellent.
Not only were the villagers successfully appeased, but even the officials from the county town had an expression of "So that's how it is" on their faces.
As for the Taoist priest who was originally invited to subdue demons and monsters, his attitude changed.
Instead of retreating, they jumped out and actively promoted it: "No wonder I felt it was unique when I first saw it. There's a wisp of fairy air wafting above it. It turns out to be an immortal's mount. It's truly extraordinary."
Everything is afraid of someone taking the lead.
Now that these people confirmed what Ji Liang said, the others naturally found a sense of identity, nodded again and again, and deepened their impression of each other.
It took almost no time to accept the rail car's identity as the "immortal mount".
As for Ji Liang himself, he quietly climbed down from the car and dragged his classmates to visit the steam car, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.
Shao Zhu had rushed over from the county town to help after receiving the news. Now he stood aside calmly and began to hypnotize himself skillfully, "I am an immortal, I have an immortal temperament, and I don't love anyone."
But my eyes still drifted towards the rail car from time to time, and I felt indescribable comfort in my heart.
There is no way around it. Anyone who can see the seeds of industrial progress after traveling through time will feel extremely happy.
This thing is not only beneficial to Qi, but also represents that the level of this world is slowly improving, and they are closer to their way home.
But compared to Shao Zhu's touching feeling, most of the others were curious.
A student who came with Shao Zhu came over and asked quietly, "Senior, does this mean we have entered the path of industrialization?"
Shao Zhu nodded gently: "Of course."
The student immediately became excited: "When can we use it? I really want an excavator."
The agricultural students watching from the sidelines also muttered, "It would be nice to have a tractor."
In addition to being an excellent student in civil engineering, Shao Zhu is also the vice president of the student union.
Compared to other students, he was more familiar with the school's mission progress. He didn't even need to ask Bian Yuhang at this moment, and said directly: "In theory, it all makes sense. The school is so big, with so many laboratories, it's not difficult to produce a test product like this. But the difficulty lies in how to promote it and use it on a large scale. To accomplish this, we need to build factories and improve technology, which means mobilizing the power of these indigenous people."
As he spoke, Shao Zhu took out his cell phone, opened the calendar and took a look.
Then he said, "Qi State's Tongsheng Examination will be held soon. We can discuss this after the candidates are selected. Instead of this, perhaps you should consider strengthening the friendly relations between the majors."
This word woke the dreamer up.
After establishing a good relationship, will you still be afraid of not having a car in the future?
So, someone immediately ran to find Bian Yuhang, showing the spirit of unity and friendship, and caring for the classmates from the School of Mechanical Engineering who rarely left the campus.
But some people didn't move.
At this moment, a student was staring at the Taoists who were still talking.
Especially when the student heard that person had already started making up a story about the rail car, his eyes twitched and he muttered, "Senior Shao, why are they so good at bragging? They're even more enthusiastic than us."
Shao Zhu, however, wasn't surprised at all. "These guys are probably just Taoist priests trying to trick people. This time, the incident happened suddenly, and the Zhuang County Magistrate didn't have time to react before sending the officials. They probably didn't check with these people beforehand. The Taoist priests thought they were just putting on a show, but they didn't expect to run into... such a big guy. Now that they don't have to fight, aren't they overly happy?"
"A Taoist priest... a liar?"
"Not necessarily. We'll find out when we get back and ask County Magistrate Zhuang." Vice Chairman Shao paused. "But he's working so hard on this campaign, and it seems like he's been working really hard. I have to express my gratitude."
The student was a little confused: "Then should we report it to the county magistrate?"
Shao Zhu nodded directly: "Of course, human feelings are human feelings, and the law is the law. If he really is a liar, it is not unfair for him to be locked up. The most we can do is give him two more meals of braised pork."
student:……
Senior Shao is such an impartial person, I love him so much.
This vehicle, called "Immortal Mount" but actually a "steam railcar", has attracted a lot of attention.
Among them is Wan Dong.
He was a blacksmith before he fled. Compared to others who were just amazed and sighed, Wan Dong was more interested in the mount itself.
So, when everyone went to watch, he tried to walk to the front of the car, hesitated for a long time, and then walked forward and wanted to talk to Langyun's people.
But as a mortal, I always feel a little nervous when I see gods.
This caused Wan Dong to stutter for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.
Bian Yuhang looked at it curiously and asked, "What's the matter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Dong took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the immortal.
This scared Bian Yuhang.
For him, their mechanical engineering task was to build a steam rail car that could operate normally, so his current involvement in both the manufacture and appearance of the car was part of the task.
As for what it will be used to tow in the future, it is just to test how powerful the car is. At most, it can be regarded as an additional product of the experiment, and it will also help solve some problems for the students in Fenghe County.
This means that Bian Yuhang basically has no contact with the indigenous people.
I didn't expect that today, when I finally tried to strike up a conversation, he would kowtow to me...
Bian Yuhang immediately said, "Stand up and talk."
Wan Dong was quite agile. After getting up, he looked at Bian Yuhang eagerly, his voice halting, "Um, Immortal Lord, I... a humble... commoner, have a humble request."
Bian Yuhang nodded: "You speak first."
Wan Dong looked at the front of the car again, and then said, "I wonder if I can go up and take a look?"
This surprised Bian Yuhang a little.
Over the past few days, some people have expressed their admiration and curiosity about this iron thing, but this is the first person who told me that he wanted to go and take a look.
So he asked, "What do you want to see?"
Wan Dong was very honest: "Didn't the immortal say that as long as I learn the method, I will have the opportunity to control it in the future? I know I am overestimating my own abilities, but I still want to take a look."
Just one sentence piqued Bian Yuhang's interest.
In fact, he has been very happy during this period of time.
Traveling to another world is certainly unfortunate, but it also means that you can do whatever you want, and it is authorized by the system!
I don’t know about other majors, but after receiving the task, the mechanical engineering students all wanted to run out and play... It was to help the indigenous people build a better home!
But the process of creation is interesting, and the process of testing is boring.
Driving back and forth is far less interesting than building things, but someone has to do the work, and Bian Yuhang did not complain.
But now, Wan Dong's words helped him find a new direction.
So Bian Yuhang smiled.
Perhaps it was because this mechanical engineering student rarely smiled, so his facial muscles were a little stiff.
The classmate who followed him murmured quietly: "What's wrong with you, senior?"
"I don't know. Is your mouth cramping?"
"Maybe, it's a smile? This smile looks familiar..."
"Is this how Grandma Wolf tricked Little Red Riding Hood?"
The students' whispers did not affect Bian Yuhang's good mood. He looked at Wan Dong in front of him and said in a gentle voice, "Do you want to learn this?"
When Wan Dong heard that this was promising, his eyes immediately lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
So Bian Yuhang said, "Then let me ask you, can you read?"
Wan Dong quickly said, "I know him."
"Arithmetic, have you learned it? How far have you learned it?"
"I've been studying for three months and have already reached... yes, the fifth grade."
In three months, from zero to almost graduating from elementary school?
This aboriginal looks simple, but he is actually a talented person!
I found a treasure.
Bian Yuhang's smile was quite genuine: "What did you do before?"
"I am a blacksmith."
"Mathematics is progressing so fast, have you studied physics?"
“No.”
"Why?"
"I'm listening to Master Ji and studying agronomy."
As soon as these words came out, Bian Yuhang said, "It's okay. From now on, you don't need to study agriculture anymore. Just follow me."
Wan Dong was stunned: "But I want to build a new village..."
Bian Yuhang interrupted him with a serious expression: "There is no distinction between high and low jobs. Whatever we do is to serve the people. We must correct our attitude and take all kinds of work seriously. From now on, I declare that you are changing your major."
Wan Dong: Although I don’t understand it, I think it’s very impressive.
A big hat was put on him, and Wan Dong was immediately confused.
I nodded without thinking much.
Bian Yuhang was satisfied, so he asked someone to arrange Wan Dong's next studies.
Even if you don’t know the theoretical knowledge, at least learn how to drive first. The sooner you learn it, the sooner you will be liberated.
But at this moment, he heard a light voice: "Why is the senior driving Lanxiang part-time?"
When Bian Yuhang turned around, he saw Ji Liang who appeared out of nowhere.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the man whisper in a voice that only they could hear: "I am training this Wan Dong to be the village chief. You can't just take him away from me for nothing. You have to give me something."
Bian Yuhang looked at him and asked, "Points?"
Ji Liang shook his head and said seriously: "No, as long as you succeed in the test later, just build us a tractor first."
"Then why don't I return this person to you."
"No, once sold, no refunds."
Bian Yuhang's eyes twitched. "...Has anyone ever told you that you look so cool when you're playing tricks?"
Ji Liang said calmly, "Once you complete a few more missions, you'll be able to develop a thicker skin. Come on, senior!"
Bian Yuhang: ...
However, originally, the various majors in the school helped each other. Now Ji Liang was providing them with tasks, and as a mechanical engineer, Bian Yuhang naturally had no reason to refuse.
So he quickly turned his attention back to Wan Dong.
Although this rail car is the world's first steam car, it is not very complicated to operate.
What Wandong needs to do now is to familiarize himself with each link and learn how to move and stop.
But as he watched, Bian Yuhang remembered another thing: "Now they say this is a fairy mount, which is fine, but what if they want to mass-produce it in the future? Sooner or later, we will have to explain the reasoning to them."
Ji Liang replied without hesitation: "Just say it's a replica made according to the appearance of the mount."
"Won't they question it?"
"Believe me, it won't happen. With Lang Yun's current reputation in Qi, they would believe me even if I told them that pigs could fly."
Bian Yuhang: ...
To some extent, metaphysics is really powerful.
This incident caused quite a stir.
Even before the steam railcar was officially put into use, various legends had already spread.
There are various theories, the most outrageous of which is that this mount can fly into the sky and dive into the sea, which is extremely amazing.
Some people believe this statement, while many others doubt it.
On the contrary, Langyun’s students suddenly felt some emotion.
Facts have proved that even in a different world, even among the indigenous people who do not have universal education, their dreams are still the stars and the sea.
But it's not good to spread it like this.
It is okay to have some legendary elements at this stage, but we cannot let them be regarded as superstitious legends forever.
So, under the students' intentional guidance, the standard answer was quickly produced.
Soon, Fenghe County and the surrounding counties all knew that there was a fairy mount in Fenghe County. It was big in size and had a lot of pretense. The most rare thing was that it was very honest and would go wherever it was told to go.
He is a little too honest and stupid, and only knows how to crawl along the track.
But this also has an advantage, that is, ordinary people also have the opportunity to control it!
Not only that, if you follow the immortal's instructions, you can even create one exactly the same!
This completely ignited the enthusiasm of many people, especially Jiang Yijun. They had only made various parts before, thinking that they were making armor for their mounts. Now that they heard that they could make the same thing, even if they didn't know the inside story, they felt that they had the upper hand and could try more.
But before that, you need to learn some relevant knowledge first.
These are the various disciplines that came from the fairyland.
Then someone soon discovered, what a coincidence! The relevant subjects turned out to be the scope of the two new subjects that emerged after the imperial examination reform!
It is obvious that the sudden educational reform in Qi State is closely related to Langyun Fairyland!
For a time, the counties and prefectures that had previously taken the imperial examination reform lightly became nervous.
Not to mention anything else, the immortal subject alone is attractive enough, not to mention that the immortal subject is now linked to the imperial examination, which makes it even more exciting.
So, when the Tongsheng examination started, many people signed up for the science and engineering subjects, which were originally thought to be slow.
At the same time, teachers went in groups to Fenghe County, Jiangyi County, and other counties where there were immortals, hoping to learn some relevant knowledge so that they could go back and teach their students.
As a result, the number of candidates taking the Tongsheng examination increased sharply.
Normally, the King of Qi would not care about this.
As the first level of selection, the Tongsheng test is held in all places. The King of Qi would not care about such a small matter.
What he was eyeing were the outstanding talents who would pass the final palace examination.
But this time it's different.
Although the new reform of the imperial examination was implemented only after he gave his approval, the King of Qi was still worried about whether there would be any problems in the implementation of the new policy.
As a monarch, the King of Qi has always wanted to avoid making mistakes rather than seek merit, and to live up to his ancestors.
Just like what happened this time, even if no one is chosen, it would be better not to cause trouble.
So he has been keeping a close eye on him, and fortunately everyone is safe and sound with nothing unusual happening.
Someone has been collecting information about the situation in various places, and finally it was summarized in the hands of Mr. Pei Fu.
The reason why it was handed over to him was not only because the old man was not involved in the loyalty of any young master, but also because the King of Qi paid special attention to the examination ability of the Pei family.
There was a small three-yuan on the left and a big three-yuan on the other. The Pei family father and son won more than one top prize.
Since they are so good at taking exams, it would be best to ask them to take charge when taking exams in science and engineering.
After looking at the examination results in various places, Pei's father immediately chose to enter the palace.
The King of Qi thought something big had happened and immediately summoned him. But he saw Old Master Pei smiling and bowing. "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is a testament to your education and education. It is truly a blessing for the State of Qi!"
The King of Qi's nervous mood immediately eased a lot.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then did not ask immediately, but said: "It seems that your Shilang also took part in this exam?"
Pei Fu replied, "Yes, my child is determined to try to study science. Since the scores of the three subjects are not shared, he took the exam again."
"How are your grades?"
"It's just the first case, not worth mentioning."
The King of Qi wanted to say, how could winning first place be insignificant?
But considering the Pei family's unique talent in exams... they might be telling the truth.
It's just a bit of a show.
The King of Qi then stopped asking and asked, "Are the results from all places in?"
"yes."
"Is there anything strange?"
Pei Fu's eyes moved, but he still said respectfully, "There are two quite different ones."
"explain."
"Yes, one of them is that there is a legend in Fenghe County that a fairy mount has arrived, which has attracted a lot of attention."
The King of Qi had already heard about this matter.
But like many feudal monarchs, he had an instinctive resistance to new things.
In addition, the Langyun students in the capital told him that it was very ordinary and common, and nothing special. Compared with those magical mounts in the legend that could fly, hide in the ground, and transform into many different forms, this lump of iron was indeed not that special, so the King of Qi did not pay much attention to it.
At this moment, he just said, "Well, what else?"
Pei Fu didn't seem to want to talk about this matter any more, so he jumped over it and said, "The second thing is still about Fenghe County." After that, he handed over a memorial.
This was something new to the King of Qi.
In theory, the examination for young students was held once a year in Qi State. It was important, but not rare.
In addition, there are so many counties and prefectures that there is no need to write a separate one.
But the King of Qi still opened it and took a look.
Then he saw the number of people who passed the Tongsheng exam in Fenghe County written on it. He glanced at it and was slightly surprised. "A huge number of 1,800? How many of them took the exam?"
"Your Majesty, over 1,900 men."
"……What?"
"The exact number may vary, but according to information from Fenghe County, apart from the dozen or so people who were unable to participate due to illness, the number of people who failed to make the cut was less than a hundred."
After hearing this, the King of Qi was finally shocked.
Even though this is just the most basic exam, the pass rate is ridiculously high!
The King of Qi wanted to ask the reason, but at this moment, he remembered the gift that Fenghe County had sent him before.
compulsory education……
How could this be so effective?
The King of Qi could no longer sit still. He stood up and asked the eunuch beside him, "Where is the immortal? Where is he?"
The eunuch hurriedly said, "Kunxian Jun went to see some young masters studying not long ago."
The King of Qi immediately walked out of the palace. When he passed Pei Fu, he said, "You should go and take a look too."
Old Master Pei quickly responded and then followed King Qi away.
At this time, Kun Jingming was looking at the young masters in the hall with an expressionless face.
In fact, he had no interest in teaching children, but there is a saying that goes, education should start from childhood, especially these are the sons of the King of Qi, and their teachers are the great men of Qi. Kun Jingming came here purely with other classmates with the intention of communicating.
Although before they came, the Seventh Young Master Fu Yun had reminded them: "My brothers are still young and may be a little naughty. I hope you will forgive me." But at that time they all took it as a polite remark.
I thought I'd see the ancient version of the sound of reading aloud, but when I really got here, it felt like I was in kindergarten...
No, that's not the case. Even the kids in kindergarten know to listen to their teachers and sit in a row to eat fruit. How could they be as naughty as they are now?
The hall was in chaos at the moment.
They didn't run around everywhere, or do things like tearing up books, but they opened up a new way -
Arguing.
The teacher said something and they argued with him, and they never stopped.
Especially since this class was a mathematics class specially requested by the King of Qi, it gave these young masters more room to complain.
"Why are these numbers so crooked? It's so strange."
"One plus one equals two? Who said that? I don't believe it."
"In this question, Xiao Ming is chasing Xiao Hong, and in the next question, Xiao Ming is buying cloth? Why is Xiao Ming so busy?"
The teacher who taught them had a big beard and was a rare person in Qi State who was good at arithmetic. He had studied it for a long time before. Now he was overjoyed to get Langyun's mathematics book. He had a lot of experience, so the King of Qi asked him to teach his own children.
But the Master himself did not expect that after he came, there would be basically no peace.
Kun Jingming was sitting nearby, annoyed by these young men who were deliberately looking for trouble, so he simply said to the old man, "Let them shut up."
The Master smiled bitterly: "Although the Great Qi respects teachers, as a teacher, my job is to teach, learn and answer questions. If they have questions, I naturally have to explain them."
There is another sentence that is implied but not said.
These are all descendants of the royal family. As a subject, how can I be their master?
Kun Jingming was not afraid at all. He lowered his eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking. After a while, he turned his head and asked the guards who followed him, "Where is the king?"
Before the guard could answer, he saw King Qi walking in with Pei Fu.
The hall, which was noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.
The young men who were originally chattering became unusually well-behaved. They stood up from their seats, bowed respectfully, and looked very docile.
Kun Jingming raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly, "It seems like they did it on purpose just now."
The Master said nothing, but just smiled bitterly.
Then I heard Kun Jingming continue: "It's not good for children to make trouble. Most of them are idle."
The Master was slightly stunned, but still did not respond.
However, the conversation between the two did not reach the ears of King Qi.
He first encouraged the children, then walked up to Kun Jingming and said with a smile: "It is truly a blessing for them that the Immortal Lord would come here to look after my children."
Kun Jingming just smiled and said nothing.
The King of Qi knew the Immortal's temper, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Immortal, could you tell me more about the compulsory education you mentioned? And the educational methods, I think it would be great if they could benefit the people of Qi."
Kun Jingming did not mention these things, but instead asked a question: "Then does the king want your sons to benefit as well?"
The King of Qi naturally nodded.
Then Kun Jingming said, "But now, in my opinion, the knowledge and learning intensity of these young masters are probably not even as good as those of the private schools in Fenghe County."
When these words were spoken, the young masters became a little annoyed.
They were still young and fearless, and their impression of immortals was vague, so they acted so recklessly in front of Langyun's people just now.
Now he also wanted to glare at me, but he couldn't do it because his father was here.
The King of Qi took it very seriously.
After all, I had just heard about Fenghe County's great achievements, so I was naturally very concerned at this moment: "I wonder where the gap that the immortal mentioned is?"
Kun Jingming's expression was indifferent as he asked directly, "It's useless to just rely on the teacher's explanations to learn. They are still young and easily distracted. For some key knowledge, they must concentrate on studying hard. Pressure is the driving force."
"I wonder what the immortal means by pressure?"
Kun Jingming pushed his glasses and asked directly, "Are there exams? Are there monthly exams? Midterms, finals, quizzes, quizzes, all kinds of papers? Are there any?"
King Qi: “…Ah?”
Kun Jingming didn't stop: "Not only are there no exams, I see they haven't done any homework. How can they grasp the knowledge?"
Although the gray-haired master had been argued with by the young masters before, he was still a teacher after all, and had a kind heart. He couldn't help but say: "Actually, I will leave some lessons."
Kun Jingming said expressionlessly: "It's just three pages a day, it's almost the same whether I have it or not."
The Master was curious: "How much is the homework that the Immortal Lord mentioned?"
Kun Jingming said modestly, "People their age should be entering higher education. At least they still have ten pages of papers to do every day."
……ah?
"In places where the competition is more intense, there are people in their twenties and thirties."
Kun Jingming was obviously recalling his study path before traveling through time. They were all people who were trained through various examinations. Let us ask, who did not love and care for "One Lesson One Exercise" and have a love-hate relationship with "Five Three"?
But to the indigenous people, this sounded like a fairy tale.
Especially for the young masters, they don’t have to take the imperial examinations and have always studied casually. Who knew that there would be sudden pressure now!
Pei Fu, who had been silent the whole time, finally said, "Could it be that this is the case in Fenghe County?"
Kun Jingming: "About the same."
Now, Master Pei understood why the pass rate was so high, and he felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart.
The King of Qi said, "But, Immortal Lord, with such a strong power, is it..."
Kun Jingming heard his hesitation and said directly, "Forget Fenghe County. I heard that Zhou State is also doing it. Now they are not even as advanced as Zhou State."
As soon as these words were spoken, the King of Qi immediately swallowed up all his objections.
After the King of Qi ascended the throne, everything went smoothly, except for the neighboring State of Zhou, which was always competing with him.
In fact, the two sides are friendly neighbors, and even the competition is benign.
But after a long time, it was inevitable that they would call each other "old men" in private, and no one wanted to be outshined by the other.
The State of Zhou was like a button on the body of the King of Qi.
Just one touch can quickly stimulate all the power of King Qi.
Without a second thought, and regardless of his beloved sons' surprise, he turned around and said, "Exam! All exams must be arranged according to the Immortal Lord's instructions. We absolutely will not be outdone by the Zhou Kingdom!" Then he turned to the teacher and said, "From now on, follow the Immortal Lord's instructions. If any of you disobey, just tell me, I..."
Kun Jingming suggested gently: "If you make a noise once, you'll have double the homework."
The King of Qi raised his eyebrows. "Double it? No, triple it! As the Prince of Qi, I should strive to be the best!"
Young Masters: ...???
The Langyun students who came to watch looked at each other in bewilderment at this result.
In the end, I can only sigh, ah, doubling the bet is like playing Landlord, this is indeed what a real father would do.
