Iron Dynasty

"Send an envoy to Ottoman?"

After the signing of the covenant, Li Wei took Chu Wang's messenger to the Wei's restaurant to rest. At this time, Xiao Ming proposed another plan.

"His Royal Highness, where is this Ottoman? We don't know what is being said, this is how to go to Ottoman?" Fiji and Pang Yukun looked at each other and felt that this plan was very risky, and it was even impossible for the messenger to come back alive.

Of course Xiao Ming understood what the two meant. Such a shocking plan had only been tried by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Qian was able to come back with too many chances.

However, this is not the time. The current era of great navigation is not the environment faced by the Han Dynasty. This time Xiao Ming is going to let the mission go to Ottoman from the sea, as long as Ottoman can cause trouble to the barbarians in Central Asia. It will be much smaller.

As for whether you can succeed, you never know if you don't try.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming said, "This king will prepare the mission for the Ottoman ambassador. Don’t worry. As for where the Ottoman empire is, this king also knows what it is, but you have stayed in Bowen Academy for so long. Do you see the knowledge of other countries?"

"His Royal Highness, the old minister is just looking at some maps of Dayu, Wa, and Goguryeo. I haven't read these yet." Fiji seems to be taken for granted.

Pang Yukun was a little embarrassed, and he didn't look at it either, because in his thoughts there were only two parts of the world, one Great Yu Country, and a country outside Great Chongqing.

As for the history of other countries, he has no interest in developing it.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ming had a scrutiny in his mind. After all, in the hearts of these officials of the Dayu State, the concept of the heavenly kingdom is still deeply ingrained, and they simply disdain to understand other countries.

Although angry, Xiao Ming also understands that the people of one era have the ideas of the same people. Compared with people like Fiji and Pang Yukun, some young officials are willing to understand the current situation in the world, so he has been planning to put in the cabinet. Some young and promising officials constrained conservative officials such as Pang Yukun and Fiji, lest no one would help themselves to talk with these people in the future.

Xiao Ming took over the affairs of the mission in a big way, and the two had no words, they were just worried, but if they could really send the mission to Ottoman, they would be very happy.

The covenant was signed and the mission was finalized. Fiji and Pang Yukun looked at each other, and Pang Yukun said, "His Royal Highness, the government affairs of this country have to be dealt with, but should your Highness also think about the issue of prolonged heirs?"

"Longing offspring? Isn't this the king's private business?" Xiao Ming immediately became vigilant. The two old foxes laughed strangely, quite a sign of singing a double song.

Sure enough, after Pang Yukun had said it, Fiji said bitterly: "His Royal Highness, the emperor's family affairs are national affairs, and this continuous offspring is the most important thing. For the stability of the country, I hope your highness will think twice."

Pang Yukun hesitated and said: "His Royal Highness, it's been almost a year since the princess has been in the mansion. Do you need to call the imperial physician to check the pulse of your Royal Highness and the princess?"

"No need." Xiao Ming really wanted to kick it over when he heard it. He didn't have any problems, and these two people were worried too much.

Fiji's eyes turned wildly, as if he and Pang Yukun had reached an agreement. He said: "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance, and the old minister is absolutely selfless..."

Seeing that the two of them are endless, Xiao Ming said angrily: "Shut up, this king has a sense of measure in his heart."

After all, Xiao Ming left the government office as if fled, leaving Fiji and Pang Yukun looking at each other.

"Pang Changshi, do you think your Highness has another woman in your heart? Why is your Highness so tired of this matter." Fiji is worried. This Fei Yueer is her daughter. From any angle, he doesn't want his own daughter. Aggrieved.

Pang Yukun recalled for a while and said: "Impossible. His Royal Highness and the princess are very affectionate. People often see the princess and the princess go in and out, and there has never been a quarrel between the two in the palace."

"That's weird, what does your Highness think?" A dark cloud in Fiji was too abnormal in his opinion. Many people in the tribe had secretly said about it.

Pang Yukun frowned when he saw Fiji, and he said: "I mentioned this to your Highness before, and your Highness ignored it, but your Highness is not worried. Those of us who are ministers can't help but think of your Highness. Now there is the Fei Pavilion. You and I mentioned this to His Royal Highness every three or five hours. I'm not afraid that His Highness will not accept it. How to say this is one of the most important things."

This was exactly what Fiji was thinking. He said: "With Pang Shoufu's words, even if someone wants to save his face, don't want to do this."

The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

Here, Xiao Ming went to Bowen College since the government office left. The world is in chaos, and the development of the country cannot be stopped. Instead, the development of education must be accelerated.

And because of Xiao Wenxuan’s death, the last yoke on him was also released. From now on he can boldly develop astronomy in the fief, popularize the current world development situation, clarify the concept of nation and country, without worrying about someone Criticize him.

After all, Confucian control over the secular is always the weakest during wars. Everyone is surviving, and whoever comes to him with classics is in trouble. In fact, the Qufu Confucian family is also in panic.

Therefore, in view of this, Xiao Ming officially sent astronomy books and telescopes to the Bowen Academy to establish a branch of astronomy, and recruit talented people who have studied astrology to participate in the study of astronomy.

At the door of Bowen Academy, students wearing white gown uniforms from UU Reading www.uukanshu.com entered Xiao Ming's eyes.

With Lin Wentao, Lu Tong and many other students gaining the title, the private manor, this folk scholar gradually turned from resisting to sharpening his head and entering the academy. One of the changes in this situation is that Xiao Ming used the last scholar to make trouble. In order to enter the officialdom without the orthodox education, the scholars had no chance to participate in the imperial examination because of the war.

On the contrary, some scholars seemed to see the opportunity. They all wanted to work for Xiao Ming, hoping that Xiao Ming would be able to sit on the dragon chair one day, so that they could rise to the top.

Of course, these are just some official fans. In addition to this kind of scholars, some scholars who like craftsmanship have also increased. Under Xiao Ming’s deliberate guidance, there are also some children of folk craftsmen who have entered the academy to participate in various scientific knowledge. learning.

And because of the accumulation of two or three years, Bowen Academy also has a group of students who have mastered various scientific knowledge. Although their level is only at the level of middle school and high school, the professors who have just entered the school are more than enough.

Therefore, during this period of time, the Bowen Academy has become more lively, and the number of students has risen to 8,000.
