    Because Sun Yuanqi participated in the construction of public primary and secondary schools in Tongshan, the edict was also sent to Tongshan.  After receiving the order, Sun Yuanqi calculated on his fingers that it was already early November and it would take at least twenty days to take a boat from Shanghai to Marseille, France. It would still take some days to get from Marseille to Stockholm. Time was quite tight, so it was best to leave immediately.

    Although Tongshan has the word "tong" in its name, it is actually surrounded by thousands of mountains. The roads are rugged and the people's customs are blocked. It is not "tong" at all.  Sun Yuanqi came to this remote rural area to express his attitude through actions: basic education must be done well!

    Precisely because the mountain is inaccessible, Shangguan rarely visits, even the prefect of Wuchang rarely visits.  Sun Yuanqi came here as a second-rank official to supervise education. He went up and down the mountain, from the county magistrate to the poor, and he tried his best to flatter everyone.  I thought that setting up the school would take a lot of effort and time, but as a result, orders came out like a mountain and execution was lightning fast. It took more than ten days to select all the teachers and students in place, and the sound of books could be heard in the school that was renovated from the Chenghuang Temple.

    Seeing this, Sun Yuanqi knew that the school was on the right track, and his next work was to persevere, and he no longer had any worries in his heart.  After receiving the imperial edict, he ordered the accompanying security guards to pack their luggage and went to the county government office to say goodbye.

    When the county magistrate heard that Sun Yuanqi was about to leave immediately, he was stunned at first, and then earnestly urged him to stay: "Master Sun, even though the matter is urgent, it is already noon and the carriage and boat are not ready yet. Please stay one more night!"

    Hearing this, the county magistrate and the imperial magistrate also hurriedly came to dissuade him, almost bursting into tears because of their sincerity.  Seeing this situation, Sun Yuanqi had no choice but to stay in Tongshan for another half day.

    The next day, Sun Yuanqi woke up early and was eating breakfast when he heard a commotion outside the door and asked the security guard to go out to visit.  The security guard came back and reported: "Sir, the magistrate of Tongshan County and all the senior citizens are at the door!"

    "Then why don't you invite us in quickly?" Sun Yuanqi quickly ordered.  He put down his chopsticks, put on his official uniform, and went out.

    When everyone saw Sun Yuan coming out, they knelt on the ground.  After helping him and exchanging greetings, the magistrate of Tongshan took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, praising: "Your Majesty, in order to promote culture and education, is not afraid of hard work and comes to our town. Everyone in the county admires him! Now I am going on a long journey. I will serve you as an official.  It's not respectful to the elders to prepare Cheng Yi, but I hope you will accept it!"

    The so-called Cheng Yi means that when a relative or friend goes on a far journey or an official leaves his post, someone gives a sum of money to make the trip more enjoyable and to use it as a trip expense.  Needless to say, this is a bribe. It was a reasonable bribe in the official circles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. No one can find fault with it!

    After Sun Yuanqi took it, he pondered for a moment and said: "Nowadays, it is the general trend to promote education throughout the country and open up people's wisdom. However, the wealth and poverty are uneven in various places, and schools are established in sequence. I know that it is not easy to run a school in the mountains and the barren land and the people are poor. However, I came here  After that, everyone worked hard and helped a lot, so that the school was quickly established and the students were taught. Sun was very grateful! As the saying goes, knowledge changes destiny and learning changes life. I believe that after the school is established, as long as you persevere, it will be better in the next few decades.  , will definitely change the face of poverty and backwardness in Tongshan. Now we should stay away from it. We only use this gift to lend flowers to Buddha and donate it to schools in Tongshan. I hope that all teachers will stay in poverty and teach seriously; all students will actively learn, become talented as soon as possible, and repay their hometown.  .¡±

    After finishing speaking, he solemnly handed the letter to the county school teacher next to him: "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will come to Tongshan again!"

    After politely giving in for a while, the teaching was reluctantly accepted: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely run the school well!"

    Seeing that it was getting late, the county magistrate stood up and said, "Sir, it's getting late, so I won't bother you too much. I'll prepare a little wine at the east gate of the county to bid farewell to you!" Then he resigned with the squire.

    Sure enough, before Sun Yuanqi and a group of security guards arrived at the east gate, they heard loud noises outside the door.  When I got closer, there were loud gongs and drums and firecrackers. There were already old men and young students holding two large plaques more than ten feet long, with the words "Zehong Le Yu" and "Xie Fu Culture and Education" respectively written in large gold characters.  Looking at the whitened wood on it, I guess it was done in a hurry last night.

    After taking the plaque, an old man brought three bowls of fine wine. Although the dialect he spoke was hard to understand, it seemed to be a farewell, so he had to drink it all in one gulp.  Fortunately, it was rice wine with a low alcohol content, otherwise Sun Yuanqi would have been drunk on the spot.

    Surrounded by the crowd, I walked a few more steps and saw a writing desk. The desk was covered with thick white jade-printed propaganda, the inkstone was filled with freshly ground thick ink, and a large purple brush was placed on the desk.  .  The county magistrate had already explained on the side: "It is rare for Mr. Sun to come to our city. Before leaving, I hope to leave a calligraphy treasure for future generations to admire!"

    Sun Yuanqi¡¯s scalp began to feel numb.  I know my own handwriting, it's just a ponytail wearing tofu - I can't mention it.  How to give someone an inscription?  Besides, what can I write with this little ink in my belly?  Is it like Major General Mao who wrote "First Division is a good school"?  In full view of the public, it would be too much not to write.When it comes to raising students, people must have their own ideas, and the matter of running schools must be stopped.  Why?  The whole construction of primary and secondary schools will not only waste people and money, but also squander education funds without any profit. Who is willing to do it?  Since we are about to stop, why should I waste all my energy?  It would be better to rest, drink wine, and recite poetry, how comfortable it would be!  When Mr. Sun is here, he will give us a hard time" Chen Fengshi complained.

    "Then you are anxious to return to Wuchang?"

    "Hehe, when a new official takes office, it is inevitable that some personnel changes will be made. Brother Yu, this general subject is really thankless. I want to communicate with the new teacher and ask for a better job." (To be continued.
