That night, Zhu Chengjun was quickly sent away from Lan City.
Ren Baqian really didn't dare to let him stay here any longer. If he were to lose his mind and throw out that bottle of sarin gas, it would be fun to watch.
However, Ren Baqian also thought of some other matters. After he returned, he wasn't in a hurry to exterminate the Lian family. Instead, he needed to locate the other members of the Lian family first.
After all, although they were sent to other places, they still had some contact with the Lian Family.
If the Lian Clan was exterminated first, those people might really conceal their identities and go into hiding. At that time, it would not be easy to dig out those rats.
In any case, as long as this husky was sent back to Great Xia, everything else would have nothing to do with him.
It would be best if he succeeded, but it didn't matter if he failed.
However, he also felt that although the aboriginals were very strong, there were many things that were really inconvenient.
For example, if he had another group of people under him, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
Another example would be sending spies out.
The aboriginals had very few spies in the outside world. They completely relied on a small number of caravans, such as the two caravans of the royal family, to gather some information while traveling outside.
There were also a few skinnier aboriginals who looked more like ordinary aboriginals from the other empires.
However, the aboriginals weren't good at this. Furthermore, the people from the other nations were also very wary of them, so it wasn't easy for them to gather information.
Ren Baqian felt that the remnant citizens of the Hao Nation in the south were a good choice.
However, he now counted the matters at hand. On one hand, there was the matter of the glass, and on the other hand, there was the matter of the well salt in the mountains that had not been dealt with.
After these two matters were settled, he was prepared to make a trip to the south.
However, the incident with the glass had caused Ren Baqian to pull out quite a lot of his hair. Looking at the hair on his pillow every day, Ren Baqian decided to shave his head bald.
It was easy to remove the color of the glass as long as the iron in the glass was oxidized with potassium nitrate.
Potassium nitrate was also relatively easy to obtain.
However, the silver mirror reaction really made Ren Baqian want to vomit blood. He listed out all the silver reaction processes that he had found on the internet.
First of all, ammonia was not available.
Secondly, to obtain nitric acid, one needed nitrogen dioxide plus water, or sodium nitrate plus sulfuric acid.
To make nitric oxide, however, you need nitric acid. As for sodium nitrate, he had yet to discover where it could be found in this world.
After a long time, it turned out that to need eggs, there had to be chickens first. However, chickens still needed eggs to hatch.
After Ren Baqian shaved his head bald, he started to scratch his scalp.
Ren Baqian's scalp was about to be scratched off, but he couldn't do anything about it. Feeling helpless, he felt that it would be better for him to move from Earth to this world. Later on, when this world had the concept of chemistry, he would let them study it.
"I want to teach a few students," Ren Baqian suddenly said when he found the empress.
The empress was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to have such a thought. Wasn't he afraid of trouble the most?
These thoughts were practically written all over the empress's face.
"There are some things that I have to do, but I don't even have enough time to spend on it. I feel that it's better to teach a few students so that I can relax in the future," Ren Baqian said helplessly.
Every day, he had to spend half of his time practicing martial arts and doing all kinds of things. Ren Baqian felt that his time was definitely not limited to 24 hours. At the very least, he had much less time than others.
The empress first asked Hong Luan and Qing Yuan to wait outside. After looking at Ren Baqian for a long time, she said, "Actually, I have always had this thought. Great Xia, the Yun Nation, and the Chen Nation all have their own national academies. However, there was no such place in Dayao.
Since you want to teach a few students, why don't you build an academy so that the aboriginals can have a place to learn some things?
Originally, I wanted to discuss this matter at a later time. Since you have brought it up, why don't we do it this way? "
"Ah?" Ren Baqian opened his mouth wide and was a little stunned. He only wanted to teach a few students so that they could help him do some things. Why did it suddenly become an academy?
If it was a few days later, he might not necessarily object to it. However, he still had to practice martial arts every day. There was also the glass factory and the like. He also had to think about how to fill up the treasury of the palace. Where would he find the time?
"Why, are you unwilling?" The empress's expression changed in an instant. It wasn't ice-cold, but yearning. Her eyes were filled with expectation.
"These few years, Dayao has sent out many people, but they haven't been able to gain much. Even though the various officials in the imperial court have obtained some books from other nations, they aren't systematic and there is no one to teach them.
As for the ordinary aboriginals, it is already very difficult for them to learn words, let alone other things.
You have told me before that knowledge is power. In your world, countless ordinary people are the foundation. The geniuses born among them lead the direction of the entire world. Only then can they reach that stage.
However, it is too difficult for my Dayao to achieve this. "
As the empress spoke, she got up from the couch and walked in front of Ren Baqian. She stared straight into Ren Baqian's eyes as if she wanted to see through his heart.
"Only you can do this and let me see the scene that I want to see. In that case, are you willing to do this for me? "
Her eyes were bright and her face was filled with expectation as she waited for Ren Baqian's answer.
This wasn't the first time Ren Baqian saw such an expression. When he first arrived on Earth and looked at the brightly lit city, her expression was somewhat similar to this one.
However, this was the first time the empress showed such an expression to him.
The distance between their faces was less than ten centimeters. Ren Baqian could feel the heat that was transmitted to his body when she breathed. He could also smell the fragrance that was coming from her. He could even see himself in her eyes, which made his heart beat faster.
"The direction that your gaze points to is the direction that I will advance in," Ren Baqian said gently.
Upon hearing this, the empress revealed a rare bright smile on her face. Following which, she returned to the couch with a smile on her face and said, "That's settled then. You will be in charge of the new school. As for the name, let's call it … I will leave the honor of naming it to you." The empress seriously considered for a while and realized that she actually couldn't think of a suitable name. She immediately handed over the responsibility of naming it to Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian looked at the empress's triumphant expression and the smile at the corner of her mouth. Then, he thought about her expression and tone that didn't match her character. He felt that the empress had learned bad things from those period dramas.
Indeed, he had opened the door to a new world for the empress.
"However, they have to start from learning how to read," Ren Baqian said bluntly.
Originally, he wanted to translate the words from Earth into the words of this world. At this moment, he simply changed his mind and let them start from simplified Chinese.
"You can make the arrangements. I hope to see a batch of real talents emerge from it," the empress said.
"I'll do my best." Ren Baqian thought for a while. Those who had received basic education should be considered talents in Dayao.
He would pick out a few who were smarter, quick-witted, and could accept new things to learn more things. They would then be his assistants.
"What about the students? How do we recruit them? "
"Not all of the children in the imperial court are gifted. Those who aren't gifted will be sent to the school," the empress said while scratching her chin.
Ren Baqian spread his hands. Just now, the empress made it sound as if she had pinned all her hopes on this school. In the end, it would become a shelter for useless people.
However, those who were gifted would definitely focus on practicing martial arts. After all, this world wasn't Earth. In the end, martial arts were still the most important. Even though martial arts couldn't solve all problems, it could solve most of them.
