Chapter 258

On that very night, Zhu Chengjun was sent out of Lan City at the fastest speed possible .

Ren Baqian really didn't dare to let him continue staying here . Just in case his brain twitched, and he threw that bottle of sarin gas out, it would become a laughing matter .

But, Ren Baqian also thought of some other issues which he had to account for . As he would have to find out the locations of the other people from Lian Family first, he wasn't in a hurry to destroy the Lian Family when he returned .

Even though they were sent somewhere far away, they still had some sort of connection with the Lian Family .

If Ren Baqian were to exterminate the entire Lian Family, he was afraid that those people would conceal their ident.i.ties . At that time, even if he wanted to dig those rats out, it would be difficult for him to do so .

In any case, as long as this husky was sent back to Great Xia, the other issues had nothing to do with Ren Baqian anymore .

It would be best if successful, but, it didn't matter even if it failed .

However, Ren Baqian also felt that even though aboriginals were powerful, there were many things that were really inconvenient .

For example, the issue this time, if he had another group of people underneath him this time, things wouldn't be this troublesome any longer .

Another example being if the aboriginals wanted to send spies outwards .

There were very few aboriginal spies outside of Dayao . They completely relied on a few merchant caravans . For instance, the two imperial merchant caravans scouted out information when they were on the move .

There were also a small number of weaker ordinary aboriginals, who looked more similar to the people of the other three nations, who acted as spies .

However, these aboriginals weren't really good at reconnaissance . Furthermore, the people from the other nations were also warier of these people . As such, scouting for information was really not easy at all .

Ren Baqian felt that the remnant citizens of the Hao Nation in the South were pretty good alternatives .

However, he counted the number of things he had at hand now . On one hand, was the issue regarding the gla.s.s . On the other hand, there was also the well salt issue which he had yet to deal with .

After settling both of the issues, he was actually prepared to make a trip to the South .

But at present, the problem regarding the gla.s.s had made Ren Baqian lose a lot of his hair . Looking at the bunch of hair he dropped on his pillow every night, he straightforwardly shaved his head bald .

So long as they used pota.s.sium nitrate to oxidize the metal element from the gla.s.s, getting rid of the color on the gla.s.s was not a problem at all .

It was also easy to obtain pota.s.sium nitrate .

However, the silver mirror reaction made Ren Baqian somewhat vomit blood . He listed all the processes of the oxidation reactions that were found online .

Firstly, he wasn't able to obtain ammonia .

Secondly, to obtain nitric acid, it was necessary to add nitrogen dioxide and water, or sodium nitrate and sulfuric acid .

But, nitric acid was required to produce nitrogen dioxide . Also, Ren Baqian had yet to find out whether there was sodium nitrate in this world .

After mulling over this for a long time, it was necessary to have chickens first before obtaining eggs . However, chickens still had to hatch from eggs .

After Ren Baqian had shaved bald, he began to scratch his scalp .

Ren Baqian almost grabbed a piece of his scalp out, yet he still didn't have any way out . In desperation, he felt that he should still s.h.i.+ft those items over from Earth . After which, he would wait for this world to have the concept of chemistry before getting the people to study it .

"I want to nurture a few students," Ren Baqian found the empress and said suddenly .

The empress was somewhat astonished . She didn't expect that he would bring up this kind of idea as he feared to inconvenience himself the most .

All the thoughts in her head were practically written on her face .

"There are some things that I have to do . But, I don't even have time to spare on any given day . I feel that it's better to nurture a few students so that in future, I will be more relaxed," Ren Baqian helplessly said .

Every day, he had to spend half of his time practicing martial arts and doing a variety of things . Ren Baqian felt that he was living on less than 24 hours a day as it always seemed that he had less time than others .

The empress instructed Hong Luan and Qing Yuan to wait outside first . She looked at Ren Baqian for a long time before she finally spoke, "Actually, I always had this kind of intention . Great Xia, the Yun Nation and the Chen Nation all have their own Department of Education as well as various educational establishments . However, Dayao doesn't have any of these .

Since you want to nurture a few students, why not build an educational inst.i.tution and let the people of Dayao have a place to study .

Originally, I wanted to bring this matter up later on . Since you've raised this issue, it would be better to settle it this way . "

"Eh?" Ren Baqian's mouth was wide open as he was caught off guard . All he wanted was to nurture a few students so that they could a.s.sist him in his tasks . How did this topic escalate to an educational inst.i.tution?

He definitely wouldn't object if the empress asked him some time later . It was just that at present, he had to practice martial arts daily, manage things that were ongoing at the gla.s.s factory, and so on . Also, he had to come up with a solution to overcome the deficit at the imperial depository . How would he have the time?

"Why, unwilling?" The empress's expression changed in an instant . It wasn't cold, rather, she was longing for an answer . Her gaze was filled with hope .

"All these years, there were many people sent out of Dayao, but there had been no great gains .

Even though the court officials managed to gather some book collections from the other nations, they were not systematic . Also, there wasn't anyone to guide us on it . "

As for the ordinary aboriginals, learning how to read was already difficult for them, let alone other things .

You have told me before that 'Knowledge is power . ' Precisely, your world is based on countless ordinary people as the foundation . Among them, the geniuses born would lead the entire world's direction before they could achieve that state .

And it is too difficult for my Dayao to attain that state . "

As the empress spoke, she got up from the couch, walked towards Ren Baqian and faced him . With her eyes fixated on his eyes, it was as if she wanted to see his innermost being .

"Only you can handle this and allow me to see what I want to see . In that case, are you willing to do it for me?"

The empress was waiting for Ren Baqian's reply with a pair of beaming eyes and a face full of eagerness .

It wasn't the first time that Ren Baqian had seen such an expression on the empress . When the empress first arrived on Earth and looked at the brightly lit city, her expression was somewhat similar to what she was showing now .

But for the first time, the empress showed such an expression to him .

Both of their faces were about ten centimeters apart from each other . Ren Baqian was able to feel the heat transmitted when she breathed and smell the scent emitting from her . He could even see himself in her eyes, and it made his heartbeat increase a little .

"The vision that you have pointed out, is the direction that I will advance towards," Ren Baqian replied softly .

Upon hearing these words, the empress revealed an astonis.h.i.+ngly brilliant smile that was hard to come by . In a flash, she returned onto her couch with a bright smile on her face . "We will do it this way . You are responsible for the new educational inst.i.tution . As for its name, we will call it… I'll give the honor of naming it to you . " After careful consideration, the empress couldn't come up with any suitable names for the educational inst.i.tution and immediately handed the task over to Ren Baqian .

Ren Baqian looked at the empress's expression and at that smile on her mouth . Then, he thought of her facial expression and tone just now, which was totally incompatible with her character . He felt that the empress had followed the bad examples from the costume dramas that she watched on Earth .

Sure enough, he opened the door to a new world for the empress .

"But, they have to start learning how to read first," Ren Baqian bluntly said .

Originally, he was thinking of translating the characters on Earth to the characters in this world . At this moment, he changed his thinking and might as well get them to start learning the simplified Chinese characters .

"I will leave the arrangements to you . Hopefully, I will see a group of real talents coming out from the educational inst.i.tution," the empress said .

"I will strive for the best . " Ren Baqian thought for a while . Those who had received basic education should be considered as talents in Dayao .

He will then pick a few relatively smart and witty students, who are able to accept and learn new things to a.s.sist him .

"What about the students? How do we go about recruiting them?"

"Not all of the kids of the court officials are gifted and extraordinary . Send those who are not to the educational inst.i.tution," the empress stated as she scratched her chin .

Ren Baqian spread out his hands . Previously, the empress spoke as if this educational inst.i.tution was where she placed all her hopes on . In the end, it became a shelter for the good-for-nothings .

However, the standard for those who were gifted and extraordinary would certainly be based on martial arts . After all, this world wasn't Earth . At the end of the day, strength still stood above every other aspect . Even though strength couldn't solve all problems, but, it was able to solve majority of the problems .

And those who were not gifted and extraordinary, they were just candidates who didn't excel in martial arts . It didn't imply that they wouldn't excel in other aspects .
