The teahouse owner didn't know that many young people in Qi State had the same idea at this time.
For a time, the number of people choosing science and engineering majors in school also increased sharply.
Upon learning of this, the Chief Clerk of Yuanluo County was extremely excited and almost ran all the way into the yamen to report the good news to his own county magistrate.
But after entering the door, he did not see County Magistrate Fang, but only saw Mr. Fang and the two immortals sitting next to him.
This made the chief clerk pause and look around.
Seeing this, Fang Luo temporarily paused his discussion with the immortal, looked at the chief clerk, and said with a smile, "Don't look for him anymore. The charcoal pencil factory is open today, and my father went to cut the ribbon."
The chief clerk was stunned: "Cutting the ribbon? Why?"
Mr. Fang replied, "I'm not sure. This is a common practice in Fenghe County. Perhaps it's a new way of praying."
"Is it really useful?"
"Anyway, the factories in Fenghe County are developing very well."
I have to say that the people of Qi have one good thing, which is pragmatism.
In other words, regardless of whether they understand the process or not, as long as the result is good, they are willing to believe that it is good.
The chief clerk immediately nodded and said, "Your Excellency the County Magistrate is right. This is what should be done."
Fang Luo exchanged a few more words with the Langyun people, then solemnly put away the books and blueprints he was holding. He then stood up, walked over to the chief clerk, and asked, "By the way, what's the important matter that brings you here? If it's urgent, there's still time to look for it now."
The chief clerk didn't leave. Instead, he stepped forward, unable to conceal his smile, and bowed. "My dear, great news! According to the figures reported by various schools, the number of students in science and engineering has more than tripled. According to estimates, after this year, a large number of them will be able to work in factories."
Fang Luo estimated the time: "It's already late autumn, so we can go after March?"
The chief clerk nodded repeatedly, unable to conceal the smile on his face.
But Fang Luo was a little worried. After all, in his mind, these two subjects were quite difficult, and three months seemed a bit short.
You know, in the past, scientific research required years or even decades of hard study before results could be seen.
So Mr. Fang subconsciously turned his head to look at the Immortal Langyun who was watching.
Sitting next to them at this time were Ji Liang and Shao Zhu, as well as a dozen students from the College of Agriculture and Civil Engineering who came with them.
The reason I came here is because Fenghe County is getting back on track.
Everything that should be built in the county town has been built, and a group of experienced construction talents have been trained. It is full of the wisdom and creativity of the working people and can already complete some basic work. Shao Zhu's task has been preliminarily completed, but he has no intention of going back. Instead, he has turned his attention to other county towns.
After all, they are always real when it comes to cheating on scores.
Equipment has also been installed in the new village that Ji Liang is in charge of, and people with relevant expertise are watching over it. As for the crops growing in the fields, there are naturally more experienced farmers to take care of them, and the people from the Agricultural College have entered the "slack season".
So the two of them accepted the invitation and went to Yuanluo County to improve their writing scores and read to help the people in the county improve their living standards and increase employment opportunities.
As for what was happening in Juncheng, they didn't want to interfere.
In particular, as the vice president of the student union, Shao Zhu had specifically told the students through the radio when he was in school that they were only here to engage in technology and construction, and not to interfere in other people's affairs.
After all, Langyun University is now located in Fengwei Mountain at the junction of several countries. It is already an independent entity independent of other countries, so non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries is the basic principle.
To put it simply, each country has its own national conditions, and if you interfere without understanding the situation, you will be backfired.
So as soon as the chief clerk entered the room, Shao Zhu winked at the other students, and no one said anything, but just acted as a spectator.
Only now, feeling Fang Luo's gaze, did Shao Zhu say, "If it's for work, not for the entrance exam, three months is fine."
Ji Liang nodded in agreement. "Yes, some things can be learned by doing. Gaining experience through practice may be more effective than studying in a classroom." He paused. "But this only applies to our related majors. I'm not sure about other majors, and it has nothing to do with your own imperial examinations. You're right to argue with me."
Shao Zhu glanced at him and said, "You have a strong desire to survive."
Ji Liang scratched his head and gave a harmless smile.
But Mr. Fang obviously had no intention of refuting him.
In other words, the reason why Fang Luo changed from being stubborn and obstinate to being gentle and inquisitive during his time in the new village was not because his temper changed, but because he saw technology and wisdom that far exceeded that of ordinary people.
When a person feels insignificant, he will unconsciously be humble.
Coupled with the Qi people's inherent filter for fairyland, Fang Luo basically believed the words of the people in Langyun without thinking.
He immediately turned to the chief clerk and said, "Since that's the case, please go and make the arrangements, sir."
The chief clerk was slightly stunned: "What arrangements?"
Fang Luo smiled and said, "Of course, we'll arrange for suitable students to choose jobs they like after three months. The Immortal Lords have brought valuable experience and design drawings this time. Both the new village and the factory will begin construction soon, so I'm afraid we'll be busy."
After hearing this, the chief clerk said subconsciously: "Congratulations, my lord. This is a great honor for Yuanluo County."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.
Originally, he came here just to report the good news and see if he could get a reward, but how did he end up looking for work for himself?
The chief clerk wanted to say something, but Fang Luo just said, "I will report this to my father later. I think my father will reward you."
The chief clerk was so flattered that he couldn't speak a word.
Just as he was struggling, Fang Luo had already returned to the Langyun crowd, sat down, and said with a serious expression, "I wonder what to do next?"
Shao Zhu directly spread out the blueprint and said, "I've drawn everything that needs to be done on it. Do you understand?"
Fang Luo looked at it seriously for a while: "Hmm, I don't understand."
The chief clerk was standing by and saying, "Your Excellency is honest and sincere, a role model for us."
Ji Liang looked at him silently and thought to himself, it is indeed not easy to be an official no matter what time it is.
Emotional intelligence is high.
Shao Zhu was not surprised. He did not explain any professional knowledge. He just pointed at it and said, "According to the land planning in the county town before, this area can be developed into an industrial zone and houses need to be built." After that, he looked at Fang Luo.
Mr. Fang nudged the chief clerk with his elbow and said, "Write this down."
The chief clerk immediately took out a pen and paper to record it.
Perhaps it was because he came from a civil service background, that is, the chief secretary of the county magistrate, so he was now very familiar with doing this job.
Then Shao Zhu continued to talk about the basic situation of the charcoal pencil factory, from the materials used, to the construction method, to the supply of raw materials, everything was explained clearly.
In this regard, Langyun students will not compromise.
After all, every progress made by the indigenous people represents points earned for them.
After the chief clerk finished recording everything, Shao Zhu moved his finger and placed it on a place that was obviously outside the city: "The villages here are the places that my lord talked about before."
The chief clerk was surprised: "What do you mean?"
This time it was Fang Luo who spoke: "Before, Fenghe County had a new village built because they had refugees who needed to be resettled. But our Yuanluo County is different. We have neither refugees nor extra land, so I went around to various villages, reported to my father, and selected a few villages for modification."
The chief clerk could understand this because the great achievements of Xincun in Fenghe County had spread to nearby counties and prefectures along with the officials who came there to inspect.
Not only officials were amazed, but many farmers who heard about this also yearned for it.
In particular, the Yuanluo County Governor's Office announced that it would help the village transform, and would provide them with a guarantee regardless of success or failure.
Since this is the case, many villagers want to try new methods.
After all, Fenghe County New Village has become a model village and has never refused visits from others. Many people have gone there to observe, especially when they heard that they can work in factories during the slack season and earn money, which is a great thing.
So in terms of public opinion, there is obviously no obstacle.
However, the chief clerk still had some concerns: "It's fine for ordinary households, but what about those wealthy landlords who own a lot of land?"
When this matter was mentioned, Ji Liang also looked over.
Then Fang Luo said slowly, "Don't worry, they are happier than anyone else."
"Huh, why?"
"Those wealthy families bought their land bit by bit with their savings. Land is their life. If there's no benefit, they won't agree. But look at the equipment in Fenghe County. It can not only increase production, but also improve efficiency. More importantly, it only uses coal and water, which is much cheaper than manual labor. Who wouldn't be happy?"
As soon as these words came out, the chief clerk showed a look of sudden realization: "My lord, you are right."
Then Fang Luo continued, "Of course, I also told them that if they don't agree, then we'll bypass them and move them to other places instead of changing them. Then they'll be surrounded by the new village, and we'll see who suffers."
Chief Clerk: ...
Although my husband has been studying since he was young and has always looked like a handsome young man, when faced with critical situations, his temper is no different from that of County Magistrate Fang, who was born a military general.
They are indeed father and son, their genes are strong.
When Ji Liang saw that they had finished their discussion, he began to talk about the construction of the new village.
Yuanluo County is different from Fenghe County in terms of water, soil and culture. Ji Liang had done his research before coming here, so he can now tell the story with ease.
Compared with architecture, Fang Luo was obviously more familiar with village affairs, so he discussed it seriously with Ji Liang for a while.
When it was over, Mr. Fang finally smiled with ease, his eyes narrowed, and his voice was particularly cheerful: "The immortals are truly powerful. With this, my Yuanluo County will surely prosper."
Shao Zhu then asked, "Do you agree with the plan we proposed?"
Fang Luo nodded directly: "I agree."
This time, Shao Zhu was the one who was stunned: "Don't want to change?"
Mr. Fang remained firm: "No changes, that's fine. I'll let them do it right away."
Then he pulled the chief clerk aside.
Shao Zhu and Ji Liang looked at each other in surprise.
After a while, Vice Chairman Shao whispered, "I only have one wish."
Ji Liang was curious: "What?"
Shao Zhu sighed and said, "If I could travel back in time one day, I would hope that all the parties I meet in the future would be like these two people."
Ji Liang thought about it and shook his head: "Impossible."
"Why?"
"Because in this dimension, you are the father, and in that dimension, Party A is the father. The relationship between father and son is irreversible."
Shao Zhu: ...
It hurts!
Not far away, Fang Luo said seriously to the Chief Registrar, "I will have to trouble you with these matters from now on."
The chief clerk naturally knew what he was referring to. He immediately showed an indecisive look on his face and said softly, "Well, my dear, I'm afraid I'm too stupid to do what the immortal has instructed me to do."
In fact, what he was thinking in his heart was that he had worked very hard to study for the imperial examinations. Although he did not pass the exam and became a Jinshi, at least he had a reputation and now he had a stable job with a government salary.
After finally becoming an official, I still have to work overtime every day?
This is too miserable.
Unexpectedly, Fang Luo misunderstood his words and turned to the Langyun crowd and asked, "Can the Immortal trust our Master Chief Clerk?"
Shao Zhu was studying the blueprints. Upon hearing this, he said without hesitation: "Of course I believe it. The officials in your county are still very good."
This is actually a very good sentence, a praise from an immortal, and it makes me feel proud to say it out loud.
Under normal circumstances, the chief clerk would definitely be extremely happy.
But now he couldn't laugh.
This compliment basically means he wants to work 996...
But before he could say anything else, Fang Luo turned to him and said solemnly, "Master Zhubu, you must know that in this county, you are my father's closest confidant. It's certainly possible to entrust such an important matter to someone else, but if they are not reliable enough, then it will not only be my father who will suffer, but also the entire Yuanluo County."
As soon as these words were spoken, the level of the discussion was immediately raised.
The chief clerk's expression changed slightly, and he looked much more serious.
Then Fang Luo continued, "Besides, you know the affairs of the county city best. In this case, you must be cautious. If you succeed, not only will your father reward you, but it will also benefit your future career."
This sentence finally made the chief clerk's heart beat faster.
If an official says he doesn't want to be promoted, that would be extremely hypocritical.
Now he only needs to work hard to do good things that benefit the country and the people, and it will also be beneficial to his future. No matter how you look at it, he is making a profit.
The chief clerk gritted his teeth and bowed deeply, "You are right, sir. I appreciate your advice." However, after straightening up, he shook his head helplessly, "Now it seems that you and I have many similarities, but there are also some differences."
At least my master's mouth is not as good as this young man's.
First, Chen Qing considered the pros and cons, then the righteousness of the country and family, and finally, he tempted him with benefits.
Who can withstand such a series of punches?
Unexpectedly, Fang Luo just smiled, his voice clear and bright: "I'm just stating the reality. Even if I didn't say it, you couldn't refuse it."
The chief clerk was puzzled: "Why?"
Mr. Fang smiled and said, "Since the Immortal Lord has appointed you, you must obey. Otherwise, do you still want to order the Immortal Lord to change the plan?"
Chief Clerk: ...
There has never been a moment when the feeling is so strong, the difference between immortals and mortals, ah.
As for the people of Langyun, they didn't really care what the two natives said.
Anyway, the plan has been given, and Yuanluo County can just implement it.
As for how it is implemented, it has nothing to do with them.
So Ji Liang took out his cell phone and took advantage of the break to contact the capital.
This is what he has been doing recently. The two sides share their resources and help each other to complete the task together, with quite fruitful results.
I just sent a video request through the system and the call was connected.
At this moment, Kun Jingming had a thick stack of papers in front of him. He looked focused. After the video call was connected, he looked up, then lowered his head again to look at the things in front of him. He only said, "How are things over there?"
Ji Liang smiled and replied, "Not bad. Senior Shao and I have completed our original tasks and are now working on new ones. As for education, compulsory education is not only being implemented in Fenghe County and Jiangyi County, but also in nearby counties."
Kun Jingming put down his pen, raised his head, and narrowed his eyes slightly behind his glasses: "So, there will be more people signing up for the Tongsheng exam next year?"
Ji Liang nodded: "Yes, the number of people will not decrease, and the number of new disciplines should increase dramatically."
Shao Zhu came over and added, "But according to what they said, some are aiming for blue-collar jobs, while others are striving for white-collar jobs. Their goals are different."
Kun Jingming didn't seem to mind this. "In today's Qi State, there's no hierarchy among different types of work. At least in Fenghe County, factory work is more sought-after than teaching or practicing medicine." He paused. "But I wonder how long it will take them to be able to work?"
Shao Zhu raised three fingers.
Ji Liang also said, "In the next few months, Yuanluo County will have to build infrastructure and promote education. Fenghe County is also gradually testing new things. It won't be completed overnight. I guess it will take a while for it to develop quietly, and there won't be much change."
Kun Jingming was not surprised by this.
He simply reached out and clicked on the system's task list, looking at the [Imperial Examination Reform 0/1] in which he participated. Only the last bit of progress was left to be completed, and he looked puzzled.
Ji Liang, on the other hand, moved closer to the screen out of curiosity and asked, "Senior Kun, what are you doing?"
Kun Jingming exited the task list, reopened the video interface, and said, "Those young masters have their final exams, I'm grading the papers."
Shao Zhu leaned over and asked, "How did you do on the exam?"
"It's okay."
"That's good……"
“Even though I failed, at least I knew I had filled in all the blanks.”
“…???”
Gu Zeyun, a newly minted storyteller who had just returned, also heard this and strolled over. He looked at the red crosses on his test paper and sighed, "These kids are so miserable."
Kun Jingming smiled and said, "Don't worry, they are not miserable."
"Who's miserable then?"
"Their father, all papers, whether they are from princes or princesses, need his signature and comments."
Gu Zeyun was a little confused: "He is the King of Qi..."
Kun Jingming said calmly, "So what? This is to ensure his right to know, so that parents can understand their children's situation. So, just because he's a king, he's no longer a father?"
Gu Zeyun really wanted to say that he understood the truth, but the person in front of him was probably the only one who dared to assign homework to the king of a country.
But who can blame the king for having so many beauties in his harem and having children one after another?
With so many copies, I wonder how many reviews he will have to write...
Kun Jingming didn't care about that. He pushed the paper he was playing with aside, raised his head and looked at Gu Zeyun and asked, "Why are you here? Have you finished writing today's new chapter?"
After hearing this, Gu, who had been so happy just now, suddenly became frosty.
He shifted his gaze somewhat awkwardly, choosing to talk about something else: "Well, it's been serialized in more than ten issues of the newspaper. I wonder how it's been doing?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Liang became excited: "Good, very good!"
He didn't say what it would be like, but Gu Zeyun was already getting excited.
The man raised his chin proudly and said, "What do you think? When this world is excavated in the future, will we become a celebrity?"
Ji Liang was excited when he heard this: "Let them read and recite the whole text!"
Gu Zeyun continued to float: "That is it!"
Kun Jingming looked at him and said calmly, "Actually, it's because I've researched the stories in this world, and most of them are about gods and ghosts, or talented men and beautiful women. Your subject is novel, realistic, and has the aura of an immortal, so it can become a hit."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Zeyun looked at him with resentment: "Will you lose weight if you praise me?"
Kun Jingming looked at him for a few seconds before saying dryly, "Well, you write really well."
Gu Zeyun was a little disgusted: "It's not what you mean, but forget it, I'm not picky."
At this time, Kun Jingming looked outside involuntarily, and then his expression froze.
Then, he said with a half-smile: "I don't know what will happen in the future, I only know that you are in trouble now."
Gu Zeyun was slightly stunned by this: "What?"
Kun Jingming did not answer immediately, but just pointed towards the door.
Then I saw Zhang Miaomiao coming towards me.
Behind her, two elegant young men were walking towards the hall together.
It was none other than Prince Yun and Prince Dan.
Gu Zeyun's face changed immediately. He jumped up on the spot, turned around and ran away.
Looking at this action, he doesn't look like a writer at all, but more like a rabbit that has become a spirit.
Ji Liang, who was on the other side of the screen, was startled and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Is there an earthquake there too?"
Kun Jingming said slowly: "No, someone came to see him."
"...What's there to be afraid of?"
"Those newspapers weren't distributed in or near the capital, but for reference, before each chapter was completed, he would show them to someone he knew and trusted. Actually, they were the Third Young Master and the Seventh Young Master."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Liang had a premonition, but he still asked: "Then what?"
Kun Jingming slowly curled his lips and said, "Then, the two gentlemen are now his loyal readers. They come every day. In addition to exchanging opinions on the development of Qi State, they also surround Gu Zeyun and watch him write new chapters."
Ji Liang: ... Asking for updates in person is the most fatal!
Fu Yun and Fu Dan obviously did not notice that Gu Zeyun came and went. When they entered the room, they looked around, as if they wanted to see where the immortal who was proficient in the script was.
Waiting for the new chapter is not easy!
Fortunately, although Kun Jingming usually likes to slap Gu Zeyun when he gets upset, he is still very friendly to his classmates at critical moments.
At this moment, Kun had already turned sideways and asked, "I wonder what brings you two here?"
They temporarily gave up the idea of looking for Gu Zeyun and instead walked to the table, bowed and sat down.
Gongzi Yun spoke first: "I came here today to thank the immortal."
"Thank you for what?"
"The counties that previously established newspapers have reported back that the number of students studying there is rapidly increasing. This isn't just in science and engineering, but also in the humanities. Many are actively studying, especially young children, many of whom have already benefited from compulsory education."
The Third Young Master Dan smiled and added, "The news of the Immortal Lords' training of my brothers has spread, and many people are proud of their training."
Kun Jingming was quite surprised: "Who spread this? Why didn't I hear the news before?"
The Third Young Master said frankly, "I was the one who spread it. I also spread the new boxing technique I learned while sparring with Fairy Zhang. I hope it will benefit the people."
Kun Jingming didn't say anything, just looked at Zhang Miaomiao silently.
Instead, Ji Liang on the other side of the screen muttered quietly, "Didn't they say that the sparring between Fu Dan and Senior Zhang Miaomiao was a one-sided defeat?"
Shao Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, if you get beaten enough, you'll gain some insights."
This made Ji Liang inexplicably admire the Third Young Master: "In some ways, he is quite impressive."
Shao Zhu nodded in agreement: "Yes, being able to withstand a beating is also a skill."
Of course, they spoke in a low voice and were not heard by the other party.
At this moment, the Third Young Master had already said, "While the response from the county town outside is quite positive, there isn't much movement in the capital."
Kun Jingming didn't say anything about this.
In other words, with 5,000 years of history behind him, Mr. Kun had anticipated this outcome long ago.
However, he had no idea about Qi's internal affairs. Instead, he picked up the teacup and started to watch.
As expected, the Seventh Young Master replied first, "Because this matter was suppressed by my father, and he even deliberately prevented it from fermenting in the capital."
Gongzi Dan was surprised: "Why?"
And now, for Gongzi Yun, he has become connected with the three of his family members and is on the same boat, so there is no need for any secrets between them.
So Fu Yun said directly, "Because once factories increase and people become more enlightened, the interests of the aristocratic families will be the first to be impacted. They will definitely be unwilling to make the move. So, instead of waiting for them to interfere, it's better to be quiet and avoid them."
Ji Liang muttered softly: "What a wretched development?"
As a result, Shao Zhu covered his mouth and signaled him to speak in a lower voice.
Otherwise, if these indigenous people heard it, they would probably write it down as the words of immortals, and it would be a bit inappropriate if they learned it at that time.
Fortunately, the two young men were discussing very seriously and did not notice the noise coming from the mobile phone.
Although the Third Young Master was of a simple and honest character, he was not stupid and he quickly figured out the key points.
At the same time, he also realized that his father would not keep those aristocratic families for too long.
But he didn't want to get involved in these matters, so he just did whatever his father said.
He was worried about something else: "How can we avoid the capital? This is such a fascinating story. If they read it, they'll probably figure it out."
Unexpectedly, Fu Jun wasn't worried at all: "After listening to so much highbrow literature, how can you be willing to stop studying Libaren? Now it's just a few newspapers, a storybook, and a few students. They won't notice. By the time it becomes a big deal, it will be too late."
As he spoke, his voice paused.
Then he laughed: "They have been at the top for too long. They can't bend down. They don't get close to the people. They are destined to be abandoned by the people."
Fu Dan was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "That's interesting."
Fu Jun still smiled: "I heard it in the fairyland."
This time it was Shao Zhu's turn to grumble quietly: "Hey, Brother Kun, did your School of Arts give him some ideological education?"
Kun Jingming looked at the sky silently without saying a word.
Then the two young masters seemed to have reached an agreement, especially the third young master, whose expression changed when he looked at his seventh brother.
It's not just because Fu Jun's ideas are different from others, but also because Fu Jun is now the most trusted young master around the King of Qi.
He knows a lot of important things, and he is the only one who knows them.
The profound meaning behind this is self-evident.
The Third Young Master's eyes twitched slightly, but he said nothing. He turned to look at Kun Jingming and said, "Even with such a good publicity effect, it still depends on the help of the Immortal Lord. I wonder where Immortal Lord Gu is?"
Kun Jingming did not give a direct answer, but said: "This is normal. Books are the ladder of human progress."
The Third Young Master exclaimed, "This statement is quite profound. I wonder who said it?"
Kun Jingming: "...Gorky."
The Third Young Master: "So it's Immortal Gao, he's really amazing."
…
The legendary immortal team of Langyun is growing stronger and stronger.
But, his last name isn’t Gao…never mind.
Fu Yun smiled and said, "These are the numbers of people receiving compulsory education reported by the various counties. I hope the Immortal will take a look."
Kun Jingming reached out and took it.
But just as he touched it, there was a sudden "ding" sound in his ear.
Student Kun quickly looked at his phone and saw a message notification:
【Imperial Examination Reform 1/1】.
But after the notification ended, the dinging sound did not stop.
And it wasn't just him, all the teachers and students in Langyun received the news at this moment.
Ji Liang picked up his phone, clicked on the message, and read it word by word:
“Points are being settled…settlement completed.
"The system is acquiring energy...Energy acquisition successful.
"Signal capturing... captured successfully."
Shao Zhu was slightly stunned: "What does this mean?"
Then Ji Liang continued, "Please note, teachers and students, the system has intercepted some signals from another dimension. Please check them."
