Chapter 684 Han Qiu.
Guo Ping replied: "We are not short of people at the moment, but we will be short of people in three years. Also, the teachers in the school need to further their studies and improve their level.
Many schools were set up in a hurry. There were not enough teachers, so some teachers with better literacy were selected. Education nowadays is becoming more and more sophisticated and profound, and the original teachers have a hard time teaching.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "You are the governor. You can organize teachers from all over the country to go to the county seat or Chengdu for further studies. You can also send outstanding teachers to exchange and teach. As a governor, you can make the decision on this matter yourself without going through the court."
The local government affairs are all decided by the prefect, and they just need to follow the major policies of the court.
Guo Ping smiled and said, "Officials are limited, their energy is insufficient, and personnel exchanges also require travel expenses. To improve the teaching and education standards, the court must continue to increase investment."
"I understand. I will cut investment in agriculture and continue to support education and health care."
Ye Kun understood, he wanted money!
After many twists and turns, we finally arrived in Chengdu.
Xie Baochan's family came to greet her from thirty miles out of the city.
When Xie Baochan saw her relatives from her mother's side, tears filled her eyes.
Han Chun, who is already old, came with his family to welcome the emperor.
After retiring from the Ninth Division, this old guy returned to Chengdu and established the Dahan Charity Foundation to make use of his remaining energy.
The foundation's account is jointly supervised by the Ministry of Finance and Taxation and the Ministry of Justice, and its operation is relatively clean.
During these three years, the foundation raised more than one million taels of silver in donations, all of which were invested in medical care, education, and orphanages and nursing homes.
In front of Ye Kun, Han Chun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you to come."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "It's a pity that Sang Buyi, Wu Qiong, Ma Zhao and others wouldn't let me go. Otherwise, I would have come to visit you a long time ago."
"The nine ministers are also thinking about the court. You should do your job well."
Han Chun smiled and asked his son and grandson to meet Ye Kun.
Ye Kun asked: "Old Han, you brought your son and grandson here. Do you intend to let them serve the court?"
Han Chun shook his head and smiled, "My sons are all mediocre people. They can barely do some business to support their families. But my eldest grandson Han Qiu, although he is not good at speaking, is very smart. If possible, I want him to follow the emperor and serve him."
After saying that, Han Chun pulled his eldest grandson Han Qiu in front of Ye Kun.
Han Qiu was only twenty years old, with delicate features, but he didn't want to have a stutter. He bowed to Ye Kun and said, "Qiu, Qu... I meet the emperor."
No wonder Han Chun said that his grandson is not good at speaking.
Ye Kun chuckled and asked, "Qing Yan Qu Qu, are there two Han Qu?"
Han Qiu was startled, raised his head and replied: "Phoenix, Phoenix, so it is one Phoenix. When I say Qiu Qiu, it means only I am Qiu."
"Hahaha, what a talent, what a good debater."
Ye Kun nodded and asked, "Have you ever been to college?"
"I have studied... I have graduated four years ago. I majored in economics, finance and taxation..."
"Very good." Ye Kun thought for a moment:
"You are still young and have no experience as an official. You cannot take on the responsibility all at once. Let's put it this way. Chen Haoran, the magistrate of Dongba County and Fuling County, will step down in three months. You will go to Fuling County and take over Chen Haoran's position as magistrate. After the three-year term, the officials will be evaluated. If your performance is outstanding, I will propose to the nine ministries to adjust your position."
Han Chun was obviously a little disappointed, but he still clasped his fists to express his gratitude.
In ancient times, a county magistrate managed a population of tens of thousands, or even less than ten thousand, and was not as good as a town mayor in later generations.
Han Qiu was very happy, and bowed, saying, "Qiu, Qu obeys your order!"
Ye Kun waved his hand and ordered the team to enter the city.
The people of Chengdu had already heard the news, and they gathered outside the South Gate. There were huge crowds of people lining the streets to welcome him and shout "Long live the emperor".
Because Ye Kun has been in Chengdu for more than ten years, he has done a lot of practical work and got to know many officials and civilians, so he has a good base among the people.
Guo Ping governed Yizhou by doing nothing, which was also because Ye Kun had a good foundation and the people cooperated.
Ye Kun rode on his horse and kept clasping his fists to signal: "Dear fellow villagers, I, Ye Kun, have returned to visit you all!"
The common people also waved and shouted, tears streaming down their faces: "The King of Hanzhong is back, the Emperor is back!"
Jiang Yourong and Xie Baochan were also very excited. They sat in the open carriage and waved to the crowd.
After entering the city, many people followed all the way to the former Hanzhong Palace.
The original Hanzhong Palace later became an official inn.
In order to welcome the emperor, the inn was cleared out half a month in advance, and the inn was cleaned repeatedly inside and out, making it look brand new and ready for Ye Kun and others to move in.
Several main courtyards and rooms have been restored to their original state.
Ye Kun and his group rested for one night in the Hanzhong Palace, and met with the Chengdu officials early the next morning.
Ye Kun had already learned about the situation in Chengdu and Yizhou from Guo Ping, so he didn't ask any more questions.
When meeting with officials, he just gave them encouragement.
After lunch, Ye Kun’s first stop was Tiangong University.
Tiangong University, formerly known as Chengdu University.
Because it was a five-story building, located at a high altitude, with glass windows and tiled floors, it was bright and colorful, and was called Tiangong University.
After some consideration, the name was finally changed to Tiangong University, which seems a bit out of place.
The university has had several presidents. The current president is Jia Santai, who is only in his thirties and was originally a physics professor at Tiangong University.
Jia Santai had met Ye Kun before, but Ye Kun had no impression of him.
Guo Ping accompanied the inspection and said, "Since the emperor left Chengdu, Tiangong University has undergone two expansions. Now there are 19 colleges and more than 30 professional courses."
Ye Kun nodded: "I know all the latest disciplines and majors. I want to know what achievements have been made in each discipline and major?"
Guo Ping smiled and said, "For professional matters, I need to report to Principal Jia."
Jia Santai said, "I'll report back slowly after the emperor inspects the infrastructure."
"It seems like you have achieved great results. Okay, I'll take a look at the hardware construction first."
Tiangong University has been built for more than ten years.
There were expansions and renovations during this period.
The previous glass was of poor quality, so it was replaced.
The laboratories of various disciplines in the university have been updated four or five times, and new equipment has been continuously added.
I walked around the school for a few hours in the afternoon and looked at every corner.
Ye Kun returned to the principal's office and listened to Jia Santai's report.
Jia Santai had already prepared a written report and gave a copy to Ye Kun. He also took a copy for himself and began to read the manuscript.
Ye Kun scanned the entire report, interrupted Jia Santai and asked:
"Do our college students still believe in the flat earth theory? Do any of them still doubt that the earth is spherical?"
Jia Santai smiled and said, "The latest astronomical telescope sent by the Science and Technology City can already see the rings of Saturn and the flares of Jupiter. The craters on the moon can be seen even more clearly.
Therefore, our students can all understand that the earth is a sphere that revolves around the sun.
Mr. Jinfeng's latest research results, based on the law of universal gravitation, calculate the masses and orbits of the planets in the solar system. They have been summarized and are being promoted in the Department of Astronomy, Department of Physics, and Department of Mathematics. "
Ye Kun was very pleased: "It's not easy for education to be popularized to this point. Back then, I said that the earth is a huge sphere and I almost got sprayed to death."
Jia Santai thought for a moment and said in deep thought:
"It's no wonder that the people are like this. As of now, unless they have seen an astronomical telescope, have been to school, and understand the movement of the sun and the moon, most people still don't dare to believe that the earth is a sphere.
Our middle school teachers always spend a lot of time explaining the earth in class."
