"Have you been bullied here?" Ren Baqian asked with a smile.
Although the Jing Tribe was rarely bullied in Lan City, it would still happen sometimes.
"Fortunately, we live at Jing Street. I heard that you marked out the place for us to live. The people around us are also from Tianjing Basin, so no one bullies us," Zhan Caixian replied.
Ren Baqian nodded. It seemed that these people went directly to Qingyun Sword after they arrived.
After all, it was one of the two remaining Spirit Wheel experts in Tianjing Basin.
The other one was in charge of Tianjing Basin, so they naturally had to pay a visit to him first.
Ren Baqian chatted with her for a while and learned about the current situation in Tianjing Basin. Most of it was known from the secret reports from the Rearguard Commandery, but some was only heard from her.
All in all, Tianjing Basin was doing pretty well. At least there were no more wars between the powers, and more than half of the sects had disappeared. The lives of the people were much better now.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ren Baqian got someone to send her to Jing Street.
"Uncle Zhu is nearby and will accompany me back," Zhan Caixian immediately said.
Ren Baqian estimated that the person accompanying her wouldn't be too far away. He asked the guards and found that someone was indeed stopped below. However, nothing happened, and the guards didn't report to him.
"Then pay more attention to your safety," Ren Baqian said casually. In fact, the public security in Lan City wasn't too bad, even though it seemed very barbaric to outsiders and fights were happening almost all the time on the streets.
However, it was usually "What are you looking at?" or "What's wrong with looking at you!"
What happened next was natural.
With the Jing Tribe paving the way, there shouldn't be any problems as long as these people kept a low profile.
At least, Ren Baqian had never heard of kidnapping women.
"Master, you kicked me as soon as we met!" Zhan Caixian looked embarrassed.
Ren Baqian felt a toothache. Why was she talking about this again?
"I don't blame you, but can you agree to a small request of mine?" Zhan Caixian blinked her eyes and looked at him.
"What request?" Ren Baqian raised his eyebrows.
"They all say that you are very powerful. You built such a tall clock tower and can tell the time at any time. The palace has also become a city that never sleeps. You even defeated a Spirit Wheel expert … They also say that your school can teach very powerful students. Can I go in and learn from you? Of course, I also want to learn new songs from you! "
Ren Baqian laughed. This wasn't a big problem.
As long as he restrained the little bean sprout Tong Lan and the second year's muscle-brained Zhu Hua, he would be able to win.
"You have to ask your mother first. If you want to study at the academy, you have to stay here for a few years." Ren Baqian rubbed her head.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhan Caixian immediately beamed with joy.
For a moment, the second floor of the restaurant became much brighter.
After Ren Baqian left the restaurant, a middle-aged man hurriedly came upstairs. He was first surprised by the ointment on Zhan Caixian's forehead. Then, he sat in front of the table, poured himself a cup of water, smiled, and said, "Does Principal Ren still remember you?"
Zhan Caixian said happily, "Of course! After all, I'm his only disciple! "
"That's good." The middle-aged man's spirits were lifted. Principal Ren even acknowledged the little princess as his disciple, which was a great thing for both the Golden Ring Residence and Tianjing Basin.
"I want to stay here and learn from Master, but Mother has to agree first. Mother will agree, right?" Zhan Caixian rolled her eyes and asked with anticipation.
"Did Principal Ren agree?" The middle-aged man asked first. After getting an affirmative answer, he thought for a while and said, "Madam will probably agree, but I have to send her a letter first."
"I think so too!" Zhan Caixian smiled until her eyes were squinted.
She knew that Master still remembered her.
It was great to see him again.
Master even agreed to learn from her.
After seeing him today, the unhappiness that she felt about the wedding between Master and the ruler of Dayao was washed away.
Even though she was kicked.
…
When Ren Baqian arrived at the Ministry of Works, Tong Zhenye was already waiting for him.
When Ren Baqian was staying in the restaurant, he had already sent someone to inform the Ministry of Works.
"It's rare for Sir Ren to come so late." Tong Zhenye laughed at the top of his lungs when he saw Ren Baqian.
After all, Ren Baqian had always been punctual, and this time, he had been here for almost an hour.
"I met an old friend!" Ren Baqian smiled and didn't want to talk about it.
"I heard it's a little girl!" Tong Zhenye was gossipy, and his eyes were wide open. "If Her Majesty finds out …"
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Ren Baqian really wanted to give him a kick. "She's my only disciple."
"Disciple? Isn't everyone in the academy like that? "Tong Zhenye was puzzled. In this era, teachers preached and students answered questions. The students in the academy could be said to be Ren Baqian's disciples.
Whether it was Great Xia, the Yun Nation, or even Dayao's predecessor, the Hao Nation, they were all like this.
"They learned different things!" Ren Baqian waved his hand and interrupted Tong Zhenye's gossip. "I'm here to find out how much progress has been made over the past year."
After spending the afternoon at the Ministry of Works, Ren Baqian understood the current progress.
First was the road to the Yun Nation. The progress had reached 40%, which was good news.
This 40% progress had already saved some time for travel between the two places.
Second was the promotion of high-yield crops, which had finally solved the food crisis.
Then, there was the construction of blast furnaces in Dayao and the Yun Nation.
At this point, Tong Zhenye couldn't help but ask, "When will your batch of students graduate? You must send them to me when the time comes, and I will arrange a good position for them. "
Over the past six months, many new blast furnaces had been built in the mines of Dayao and the Yun Nation, and these students had played a great role. Needless to say, they could also repair the equipment in the glass factory, the forging factory, the canning factory, the soap factory, and the salt well.
They could also solve many problems that the craftsmen didn't understand. There were many equipment that the craftsmen couldn't understand even after studying for a long time, but they could figure it out after a few days.
There were also trains and the power plant that Tong Zhenye knew.
Tong Zhenye kept an eye on these students every day. He had already decided that if anyone dared to compete with him, he would first teach them a lesson.
"It will take at least another year," Ren Baqian said casually. He felt very complicated when he said this. It was as if the unripe cabbage that he had been raising in his field for a long time was going to be taken advantage of by someone else.
He wanted the first batch of students to finish the six-year high school curriculum, but unfortunately, he couldn't wait that long. Currently, Dayao was lacking people everywhere.
The Yun Nation was so big that they could only rely on the people of the Yun Nation to govern because there were no qualified officials!
The Ministry of Works lacked technical officials, the Ministry of Revenue lacked officials who knew mathematics, and the Ministry of Appointments, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites, and even his own Ministry of Commerce were all lacking people.
Although his students didn't have much experience, they were at least literate, had basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and had been nurtured by him for a long time. As long as they worked for a while, they would become the new blood of their respective departments.
Compared to other departments, Ren Baqian also felt that the Ministry of Works was very suitable for them, but not every disciple liked to deal with machinery every day.
At the same time, Ren Baqian felt that there was another position that was more suitable for them than the Ministry of Works — being a teacher.
There were more than 40 students in this batch. If each of them led a class, there would be more than 40 classes immediately. If each class had 50 students, there would be at least 2,000 students.
This was a huge number.
Furthermore, in the process of leading the students, they could continue to learn from him.
Of course, this depended on their intentions when the time came.

He couldn't think of one!
Should it be called [Wu Ming (I)]?
