Chapter 309 An Impromptu Lesson
“Mr. Yuan, since we have this opportunity, why not add a stop along the way so that our female students can also learn on the spot how to handle such situations?”
Yuan Hongqu glanced at the person who spoke; it was Sun Qingwei, the head of the academy's academic affairs group.
Before joining the academy, Sun Qingwei was the matriarch of a prominent family. She was exceptionally talented and learned, but unfortunately, her family committed a crime. Although the misfortune did not extend to married women, it still implicated her in her husband's family, causing her considerable suffering.
She entered the academy with Yuan Hongqu. At first, she just organized books and cleaned in the library. Later, when Yuan Hongqu became the vice dean, she found that although Sun Qingwei was usually not very talkative, her thoughts and ideas were actually in sync with hers.
The new courses that Yuan Hongqu introduced at the academy were first handed over to Sun Qingwei's team to design teaching methods and arrange trial classes before being formally incorporated into classroom teaching.
She had just sent someone to invite Sun Qingwei over to discuss the new courses, but Sun Qingwei overheard Lan Su's report.
This was the first time Sun Qingwei had offered to provide on-site instruction.
Yuan Hongqu quickly considered it for a moment, then glanced at Lan Su beside her.
"After you've eaten, continue your reconnaissance. I need to know every detail of these bandits' activities. If necessary, using some methods is not out of the question. I need this information before we set off this afternoon."
Although Lan Su didn't quite understand the thought processes of Yuan Hongqu and Sun Qingwei, she heard Yuan Hongqu's words clearly and understood them perfectly.
Since Mr. Yuan said that some means could be used if necessary, then this matter becomes much simpler.
Lan Su nodded, her tone tinged with excitement, "I understand."
"We need to clarify the time, location, number of participants, and what weapons they will bring. In addition, we need to determine the mode of operation: whether to ambush or simply block the road... If there is still time, we should also find out about the situation in Yujiapu," Yuan Hongqu added.
"Mr. Yuan, please rest assured!"
Lan Su was even more excited, feeling that this was about to cause some trouble, and she loved it!
"Let's go and discuss how to conduct this class." Seeing Lan Su leave excitedly, Yuan Hongqu turned to Sun Qingwei.
The two went to the academy tent next to them. The tent was divided in two by a curtain. The inside was where the teachers rested, and the outside was used for meetings.
The teachers leading the group have finished their lunch and are resting here.
Mi Ling and the others never took a midday nap, so it was quite unusual to see Yuan Hongqu and Sun Qingwei come in together.
The dean had only accompanied the Lin family the entire way and had never set foot in the academy's tent.
"Hongqu, did you remember we came together and came to see us?" Mi Ling teased.
"Hmm, you still need me to come and see?" Yuan Hongqu sat down with a smile. "Qingwei, you go ahead and do it. We'll all cooperate."
She gestured for Sun Qingwei to express her thoughts, and what she said next was to give the teachers a clear understanding, indicating that she supported what Sun Qingwei wanted to do.
"Qingwei, what courses do you want to add? We can discuss this back at the academy; there's no need to bring it up on the way."
Mi Ling said that she naturally knew that Sun Qingwei was in charge of curriculum design, but they were currently on a study tour, and now was not the right time to open new courses.
“Dean Mi, we do need to urgently add a course. This course is scheduled for this afternoon, and we have very little time to prepare. Therefore, we need to mobilize everyone’s efforts.” Seeing that Mi Ling had cut off Sun Qingwei’s next words, Yuan Hongqu couldn’t help but speak first.
Sun Qingwei then continued,
“Our study tour group was targeted by a band of bandits. However, the guards and imperial guards in our group were able to easily subdue these bandits, so I boldly designed a live demonstration class to let our students learn on the spot how to deal with bandits and how to prevent being targeted by them.”
"In addition, we will expose some of the tricks of scammers and kidnappers, and teach students some ways to prevent being scammed or kidnapped." Yuan Hongqu added two more things on the spot.
As someone who works in the martial arts world, Lan Su should know a lot about these methods. We can have her come over and explain them to the students.
Or have Lan Su catch two con artists and kidnappers and teach the students on the spot what methods they use to deceive people and what tricks they employ to abduct women and children.
"Dean, I'm afraid there won't be enough time," Sun Qingwei reminded him.
"Then let's schedule the anti-abduction and anti-fraud training for the evening. Now let's plan how to conduct the afternoon classes. Mi Ling, write this down and explain it to the team leaders later."
The teachers then came to their senses.
"Dean, there are bandits ahead. Should we take a detour?"
"Or should we turn back? The students' safety is the most important thing!"
"They're all rich young ladies; it would be difficult to explain if they got hurt."
...
The teachers discussed the activity animatedly, but almost none of them agreed with it.
Just kidding, those are bandits, real bandits!
Extremely vicious and wicked.
How could we let those delicate female students watch bandits fight?
"alright!"
Yuan Hongqu lightly tapped the table, and the teachers quieted down.
"We have the most powerful guards in the entire capital, and the Imperial Guards will protect us. This is a rare opportunity, and it would be a real shame not to let the students experience it."
Mi Ling nodded in agreement, and the other teachers, seeing Yuan Hongqu's confident assertion, couldn't help but nod as well.
"Now that everyone agrees, I'll go over some points to note."
"Participation in this class is voluntary. There may be bloody scenes during the fight, so please don't attend if you can't handle it. Also, those whose families have special religious beliefs and who are usually vegetarian should not come to class..."
"That's what I meant. Please add anything else."
After Yuan Hongqu finished speaking, she gestured for the teachers to speak up and offer suggestions...
They finally came up with a workable method that afternoon, and then waited for Lan Su to return.
Not long after, Lan Su returned unharmed, living up to everyone's expectations.
"Mr. Yuan, that village is truly astonishing! From eighty-year-old men, they all have sleeping pills hidden in their canes. And even three-year-old children have toys made of lead... As for the women there, it's hard to describe..."
Lan Su deeply resented these things, and she actually found a way to get to the bottom of it, bringing several people over to be kept as hostages.
Once everything was arranged, the carriage started moving forward again, but the atmosphere inside was a little heavy.
