Yinzhen raised an eyebrow without speaking, then looked down and saw the Qiqiao Academy on his desk.
He was somewhat surprised.
The mansion is large, and there is a Qiqiao Courtyard.
He naturally knew what they were doing, but he didn't interfere much. Now that the Qiqiao Academy had arrived, Yinzhen naturally knew what the academy was for.
"Are you planning to open another academy?"
Tong Cheng'er nodded: "Yes, we can't just sit around doing nothing every day."
Every day, besides reading stories and playing with cats, I feel like I'm wasting my time.
I also felt that I shouldn't continue like this in the afternoon. I should take advantage of the fact that I have ideas now, enough energy, and no problem with money.
Why doesn't she give it a try?
Tong Cheng'er waited for him to speak, but after a long time he still didn't say anything: "Do you think this is inappropriate?"
Yinzhen said, "There's nothing wrong with it, but what are your plans for the headmaster of this academy?"
Thinking of the scene she had just imagined, Tong Cheng'er smiled and said, "I want to try it myself."
Yinzhen was somewhat surprised. He had long known that his young wife was a tired person, and now she actually wanted to become the dean.
He naturally had no objection, but the idea of a woman running an academy, even if the curriculum wasn't for the imperial examinations, still sounded rather "rebellious."
However, since the young consort likes it, Yinzhen will naturally support her. As for those who like to gossip when they have nothing better to do, he will find an opportunity to punish them severely and they will probably behave themselves.
Yinzhen smiled and said, "Then from now on I'll call you Dean Tong?"
Tong Cheng'er blushed upon hearing this: "It's not even close to happening yet, why are you saying these things now?"
Yinzhen said cheekily, "I'm not just getting used to it in advance, but also letting you get used to it in advance, Dean Tong."
Tong Cheng'er couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Sometimes Tong Cheng'er also found it amusing that people who didn't know Yinzhen felt unapproachable just from hearing his name, while those who did know him thought he was steady and reliable. However, he seemed too steady and reliable, which made him appear somewhat mature. In addition, given his status, no one would joke with him.
He could only truly smile when he was in her presence.
While finding it amusing, Tong Cheng'er felt secretly delighted.
After all, no one dislikes being the exception of being favored.
After telling her about her affairs, Tong Cheng'er couldn't help but ask about Yinzhen.
"Have you finished writing your report?"
Yinzhen said, "It's finished."
I was quite excited when I got back, so I wrote quickly.
It was already quite late. Tong Cheng'er looked at the time and said, "Why don't we have someone prepare dinner? Father Emperor probably hasn't returned yet. Let's eat first, then go find him."
Yinzhen nodded: "That's fine too."
Recently, Emperor Kangxi has been keen on traveling, and he only returns home after having dinner outside every day. The matter that Yinzhen wants to talk about is somewhat complicated and may require some discussion, which will inevitably take up a lot of time.
After dinner, Tong Cheng'er returned to her study to consider the Qiqiao Academy. She didn't have much experience with academies, and in the capital, she was only responsible for funding them.
In fact, it is not easy to run an academy.
First of all, an academy needs a location. Since she plans to be the dean, the academy cannot be built too far from the Prince Yong's residence.
She wasn't worried about the money to build the academy, but the area where she lived was mostly inhabited by powerful and wealthy families, who wouldn't sell their homes for money.
Therefore, the location of the academy was already a problem.
Besides the location of the academy, there's also the question of where to find teachers once it's established. While there are certainly people skilled in mathematics and physics, finding them would be quite difficult.
Furthermore, there is the issue of student enrollment.
She wanted to select students from all over the country, but how to get the news across the country?
Furthermore, how should the selection exam be conducted? Will some people give up because of the fact that people are sent to the capital to take the exam? After all, the future in the capital is uncertain, and it is not certain whether they will pass the exam, but the expenses will definitely be considerable.
However, if we send people to local areas to conduct the selection, the fairness of the process becomes questionable.
...
Every little thing is a problem.
The more you think about it, the more problems you encounter.
Tong Cheng'er had many questions. Since Emperor Kangxi hadn't returned yet, Yinzhen was also in the study. Looking at the questions she listed, he was somewhat surprised. The questions she considered were all very practical.
Yinzhen added some information and shared his own thoughts. The two of them continued to supplement each other's points, and half an hour passed.
At that moment, Su Peisheng's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, His Majesty has returned."
Tong Cheng'er said, "Go ahead!"
Yinzhen picked up the memorial, glanced at it, and then got up to leave.
After Yinzhen left, Tong Cheng'er continued to write and draw at her desk.
Yinzhen took the memorial and went to Kangxi's residence.
Emperor Kangxi just returned. He had a good time today and is in a great mood.
Just as Kangxi was thinking about who to summon to serve him in bed that night, Liang Jiugong came in and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Yong requests an audience."
Kangxi found it strange that his son appeared at this time, but he knew his son well. He wondered if there was something important going on so late.
"Let him in."
Yinzhen entered Kangxi's study.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities. What brings you here so late?"
Yinzhen briefly explained the situation he had encountered that day before handing over the memorial.
As Kangxi listened to his words, his expression gradually darkened.
Pirates and Japanese pirates are indeed a problem.
Previously, the main problem was that Gordan was not behaving properly. Because Gordan was too conspicuous, the pirates and Japanese pirates could not be identified. Now that Gordan has been dealt with, the urgent problem to be solved has become the pirates and Japanese pirates.
Moreover, judging from the implication in Yinzhen's words, these pirates and Japanese pirates were also connected with the imperial court and its officials.
