Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Moreover, the Yuan Dynasty's extensive rule led to moral decay and made it difficult to unite people's hearts."

"At times like these, it is essential to unify thinking and strengthen control."

"When it develops to the Hongzhi, Zhengde, and Jiajing periods,"

"The socio-economic situation has recovered,"

"Productivity has also improved significantly."

"New social structures and economic environment,"

"It is imperative to pursue intellectual progress,"

"In order to achieve alignment between ideology and morality and contemporary society."

"Therefore, in the mid-Ming Dynasty, all sorts of ideas began to emerge again."

"The Confucian reforms of the Song and Ming dynasties,"

"Actually, they all follow the same path."

"During times of economic prosperity and social development,"

"We seek novelty and change because new social classes are emerging."

"When faced with external enemies or societal decline,"

"And it leans towards pragmatism."

"The Qing Dynasty was an exception,"

"The imperial court is too strict,"

"It wasn't until the late Qing Dynasty that social trends could no longer be suppressed."

When the emperor and his ministers had a private conversation,

He has a habit of sending everyone else away.

Eunuchs, palace maids, and court attendants,

Gradually, it became a habit.

Whenever the emperor and Prime Minister Wen meet, this

These people automatically walked several dozen steps away.

A palace eunuch suddenly stood at the palace gate.

Zhao Yuan said, "Come in, everyone."

The eunuchs and the court attendant entered one after another.

Then they brought Hu Yin in.

Hu Yin bowed respectfully and said, "Your subject Hu Yin greets Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Please sit down."

Wen Huanzhang asked, "Why didn't you become an official in the capital?"

"But you want to become a professor at the state-run school?"

Hu Yin replied, "Books on physics, mathematics, and astronomy."

"Although it has been published all over the country,"

"But currently, it can only be purchased in provincial capitals and a few wealthy states."

"And there is a severe shortage of teachers,"

Students can only study on their own by buying books.

"Your subject wishes to go to a remote prefecture,"

"Changing locations every three years,"

"To spread the teachings of physics as quickly as possible."

"Excellent!" Zhao Yuan praised.

Hu Yin then said, "The next imperial examination will have questions on physics, mathematics, and astronomy."

"I believe that the questions should not be too difficult."

"Just test the basics,"

"Otherwise, a large number of students will find it difficult to adapt."

"We want all the candidates in the national examinations to be proficient in this subject,"

"It will take at least twenty years,"

"The difficulty of the imperial examination questions could be increased year by year."

Zhao Yuan particularly liked this young man:

"Your official rank will be promoted three levels,"

"You can choose a remote state capital yourself."

Since Hu Yin chose to serve as a school principal across the country,

Zhao Yuan was not stingy either.

He was promoted and given a raise immediately.

.....

After much deliberation,

Hu Yin chose Jiangling Prefecture.

Chapter 362 The Qin Brothers

Firstly, the cultural heritage there is waning.

It is indeed necessary to have renowned teachers;

Secondly, that place has some historical and cultural significance.

The quality of the students will not be too bad;

Thirdly, that place is a thoroughfare connecting several provinces.

It is beneficial to the propagation of physics.

He gave up his position as a government official in the capital to become a school principal in a local area.

This decision is truly surprising.

"The Hu family is truly cunning,"

Qin Hui sighed,

"Hu Yin was just a minor official,"

He submitted a memorial requesting to be transferred to a prefectural government as a professor.

"It can please the officials,"

"And there's no suspicion of flattery,"

"They might even receive unanimous praise from both the government and the public!"

Qin Zi, his half-brother

I happened to be back in Beijing for a work report during this period, and I was astonished at the time:

"A promotion of three ranks in quick succession, in peaceful times,"

"It will take at least seven or eight years."

"Although his official rank has been demoted,"

"Getting a promotion is always worthwhile."

Qin Hui said, "We still need to figure out the Emperor's intentions."

"Sanlang, how's your agricultural training going?" Qin Zi asked.

Qin Hui sighed and said, "My foolish younger brother has been conscientious and diligent in his official duties."

"You also need to frequently help your colleagues with their tasks."

"Although I only had time to learn about farming,"

"But where would one find the time for that?"

"I just learned how to grow vegetables."

Qin Zi said proudly, "I have already mastered most of mathematics and physics."

Qin Hui nodded and said, "Official business related to accounting."

"I really find it easy to use math."

"I've also looked at some physics material,"

"Inertia, friction, gravity, lever, refraction..."

"I do have some knowledge of this kind of subject."

"Unfortunately, there really aren't many opportunities,"

"To be displayed in front of officials and the emperor."

"I heard that Sanlang had a falling out with Prime Minister Zhai last year,"

Qin Zi said worriedly,

"The Duke of Gan has now retired to his hometown."

"Zhai Xiang took advantage of the situation to become prime minister."

Qin Hui sighed, "How could I not be worried?"

Qin Hui, in order to please the emperor and the emperor's family,

He almost openly betrayed his mentor and benefactor, Zhai Ruwen.

Although it did not cause any serious consequences

But this severely damaged Qin Hui's reputation.

He could only resort to various means

Make an effort to get along well with your superiors, colleagues, and subordinates.

Through his exceptional work skills and interpersonal relationships,

Gradually reverse the negative image you have of yourself.

Who knew that only a year had passed,

Zhai Ruwen has actually become the prime minister!

He flattered the emperor.

He was not promoted as a result.

This is a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

Qin Zi asked, "Didn't Sanlang try to smooth things over?"

Qin Hui sighed, "Alas, I've come to request an audience more than ten times."

"Zhai Xiang doesn't want to see me again."

"But we need to think of another way," Qin Zi said.

Qin Hui shook his head: "Instead of asking for favors again,"

"It's better to rely on your own efforts."

"The current officials and emperor,"
