A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 Extra 059 Travel Notes, Wang Jiayulang
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen couldn't stay here forever. After treating Zhan Yan for a while and making sure that Zhan Yan had recovered well and leaving enough medicinal materials, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were about to leave...
"Every three months, I will send a doctor to check up on Zhan Yan and give her the medicine she needs for the next season. Remember to take the medicine on time, rest well, and don't overwork yourself."
No matter what Zhou Xing thought, Feng Qingchen didn't want them to live too hard.
"Even after the treatment, Zhan Yan's body is still very weak and cannot withstand the hard work. It is best not to let her do the daily housework. If you don't want to let the servants serve you, please ask the local women to help me do the chores at home."
However, despite Zhan Yan's background, she was a pampered young lady before she married Zhou Xing. Zhan Yan really cannot do these tasks, and even if she wants to do them, it will be more difficult than ordinary people.
"Don't worry, sister. I will take good care of Zhan Yan. When Zhan Yan recovers, I will bring her and Xiao Shuyu to see you." Zhou Xing was reluctant to leave. After spending the past month together, he felt like he was back to the beginning.
Countless times in his dreams at midnight, Zhou Xing wondered what would have happened if he had not gone to Nanling at that time, but had stayed in Dongling, in Feng Mansion?
There may be some regrets, but there should be more happiness. You know, ordinary days are suitable for him.
After hearing Zhou Xing's words, Feng Qingchen's depression finally subsided a lot: "I'll wait for you in the capital." She was afraid that Zhou Xing would never return to the capital.
"Aunt, I will miss you..." Little Shuyu held Feng Qingchen's hand, looking reluctant.
The Queen Aunt was very easy to talk to. She taught him fun things and took him horseback riding, which he loved.
Feng Qingchen bent down and picked up little Shuyu: "After you go to Jixia Academy to study, aunt will come to see you when she is free."
That’s right, little Shu Yu is going to study at the Jixia Academy, and the person who recommends him is naturally the Ninth Prince.
Zhan Yan comes from a prominent family and is quite talented, but she can only teach Shu Yu an education. After all, she is a woman, and all she can teach Shu Yu are the romantic poems and songs. Shu Yu cannot live on these in the future.
As for Zhou Xing?
How much talent can you hope for a prince who changes his career halfway through to have?
Zhou Xing is willing to live in a corner, but that doesn't mean he wants to see his descendants living in mediocrity. If there is a chance to let Shu Yu go to the Jixia Academy, Zhou Xing will naturally not miss it.
In fact, it doesn't require the Ninth Prince to put in too much effort for Shu Yu to go to the Jixia Academy. You have to know that Shu Yu's nominal grandfather was once the Palace Master of the Jixia Academy. Shu Yu was also taught by Zhan Yan since he was a child, so his talents and knowledge can't be too bad, and he can definitely be admitted to the Jixia Academy.
Speaking of the Jixia Academy, we have to talk about the plans that the Ninth Prince made for the Jixia Academy.
The Jixia Academy is a holy place in the hearts of students all over the world. Unless the Ninth Prince wants to be infamous for eternity, he will never use violence to conquer the Jixia Academy.
The scholars had been trying to rebel for ten years but failed. The Ninth Prince was not worried about the people from the Jixia Academy rebelling, so he had plenty of time to slowly take over the Jixia Academy.
The boiling frog in warm water method is the most suitable method. The Ninth Prince will nibble away at the people in the Jixia Academy step by step. By the time the people in the Jixia Academy react, the Jixia Academy has been controlled by the royal family.
Every year, the Ninth Prince sent a large number of officials' children to study at the Jixia Academy. These officials' children were carefully selected, not only for their ability to study, but also for their ability to behave.
Compared with those bookish students, the children of officials are more tactful and good at socializing, so it is easy for them to find a few "intimate" companions.
After graduating from the Jixia Academy, everyone became classmates, and it was normal for them to help each other...
In the past few years, countless students from the Jixia Academy have been lured into the officialdom by the Ninth Prince using this trick to work for him.
I have to say that the disciples taught in the Jixia Academy are quite good. Although there are some pedantic ones, there are more practical people, so the Ninth Prince can feel more at ease using them.
What's more, the Ninth Prince is already considering sending a minister to the Jixia Academy every season to explain to the students the various aspects of people's livelihood and the ways of being an official...
Feng Qingchen was right. As long as we could subdue this group of students, with them leading the way, the ordinary people below would naturally follow...
Education is the foundation of the country, and it is necessary to spend time on it!
but……
The stubborn old men in Jixia Academy were not so easy to convince. They could not refuse the Ninth Prince's sending of students to Jixia Academy, because the world belonged to the Ninth Prince. However...
They were not happy about sending teachers to the Jixia Academy.
The Jixia Academy originally had no connection with the imperial power. By doing this, isn't the Ninth Prince undermining them?
By then, will the Jixia Academy still be the Jixia Academy?
The two sides argued about this matter for a long time, and even Wang Jinling came out to mediate, but the Jixia Academy and the Ninth Prince refused to give in.
However, Wang Jinling believed that this would happen sooner or later, and the Jixia Academy would not be able to hold out for long. After all, no one had the ability to go against the emperor all the time.
The emperor did not resort to violence against the Jixia Academy, which had already given the Jixia Academy enough face. If the Jixia Academy had continued to be tactless, it would have followed in the footsteps of Nanling, Xiling and Beiling, and might not even have been able to keep its name.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with the eldest son. Since leaving Xuanxiao Palace, the eldest son has cut off contact with other people, and no one can find him...
Mobei, the frontier, the prairie... the cliff of the sea, the corner of the sky
When the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were traveling together, Wang Jinling's footprints also covered every corner of the Kyushu continent.
Wang Jinling was not like the Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen, who just came and went. Whenever Wang Jinling arrived at a place, he would write down the local geography and folk customs. Whenever he arrived at a place, he would choose a place to paint and put the local scenery on paper...
These things were compiled into a book for him by his servant as Wang Jinling's travel notes.
Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, but...
Not everyone has the conditions to do so. Not to mention the gold and silver money and other things, even the safety cannot be guaranteed. For ordinary people, traveling thousands of miles is undoubtedly a fantasy.
Wang Jinling knew this very well, so wherever he went, he would write about the local things, so that those who could not travel thousands of miles could understand the local customs through words.
I have to say that the eldest son's character is really noble. He never acts just for himself...
Ten years later, when Wang Jinling published his travel notes, it caused a sensation and was reprinted again and again...
Those who can read and write are proud to hold Wang Jinling's "Travels in Jiuzhou" in their hands, and those who are officials regard this book as an official treasure, because...
The local customs and practices described above can allow officials in Beijing to understand local affairs without leaving their homes, and can also let those who are going to be officials in the local areas know what they will face next...
A book called "Travels in Kyushu" once again deified the eldest son. Even though he was over fifty years old, he was still the prince of the royal family in the eyes of the noble ladies in Beijing!
