Yes, no matter how chaotic the court was, the imperial examinations would be held as scheduled every three years.
In previous years, the examination was based on eight-legged essays, but since the emperor said that science and technology should be used to develop the country, mathematics and some simple knowledge of physics and chemistry have also become one of the selection subjects for the examination.
There is a saying in modern times: if you master mathematics, physics and chemistry, you will not be afraid to travel around the world.
Mathematics is the foundation of all subjects.
Therefore, the Imperial College and the Hanlin Academy made corresponding adjustments and included mathematics, basic physics mechanics, optics, etc. into the examination scope.
Therefore, the books translated by Liu Qiaoer sold better and better.
However, these books are very cheap, with the prices set by the emperor himself.
But if she wants to make money, Liu Qiaoer naturally has a good idea. She made a lot of exercises, which are expensive. It is said that this year's imperial examination questions will appear in these exercises.
Therefore, Liu Qiaoer still made a lot of money with these exercises.
Liu Qiaoer's space technology value has increased. It turns out that as long as high-tech things are developed in this era, the space technology value will increase.
Once her technology value reaches a certain level, she will be able to travel through time and space at will.
It was not until this time that Liu Qiaoer truly understood the significance of this space, which was used to develop science and technology.
Liu Qiaoer watched as the soldiers surrounded Prince Xin's residence. It was said that they and the Yituan had killed Prince Xin last night, saying that Prince Xin had deceived them.
Then, a fire broke out in Prince Xin's mansion, which burned for a long time.
When the emperor received the news today, he ordered the Imperial Guards to surround Prince Xin’s mansion.
Liu Qiaoer snorted coldly. The emperor was poor and wanted to ask Prince Xin for money. Prince Xin refused to give it to him, so the emperor sent people from the Yituan to kill him.
However, Qian Kun, who was sent by the emperor, did not go to Prince Xin's Mansion first after coming out of the palace, but found Liu Qiaoer first.
Liu Qiaoer was in the Marquis's Mansion at the time, sorting out documents in her own yard.
She needs to sort out the medical information and also the scientific information.
Linglong came to her and said that a doctor named Qian Kun was looking for her. She was quite surprised because Qian Kun had been arrested by the emperor and imprisoned a long time ago.
Now that more than a year has passed, could it be that he has been released again
Liu Qiaoer left the house and saw Qian Kun. She didn't expect that he was really released.
Liu Qiaoer invited him to have tea, and while drinking tea, Qian Kun told her about the emperor's mission.
Qian Kun sighed deeply: "The Prince Xin's mansion is heavily guarded. Not to mention that Brother Fan and I can't get in, even if we get in, Prince Xin has been very kind to us, so we can't kill him."
Liu Qiaoer pondered for a while: "It costs a lot of money for the emperor to make cannons and guns. Prince Xin has money but doesn't spend it, so the emperor wants to kill him. If the murderer is you and the Yituan, it will be easier to say."
"It doesn't matter if your mission fails. The emperor will send someone else to kill him and come up with another excuse. If your mission succeeds, the emperor will get a lot of silver from Prince Xin."
Qian Kun asked: "What should we do?"
Liu Qiaoer thought for a moment and said, "Let's confront Prince Xin directly. Otherwise, Prince Xin will not only die, but he will also lose everything."
Qian Kun: "Now the Xinwang Mansion is surrounded by the Imperial Guards, and we can't get in."
Liu Qiaoer said, "How about this, I'll take you in tonight. After you complete the mission, don't ask for the emperor's money anymore. Just leave the capital and go to the south to meet up with your Yituan."
Qian Kun nodded and actually agreed.
Liu Qiaoer asked again: "Why did you ask me for help?"
Qian Kun looked at Liu Qiao'er deeply and said, "In fact, I can tell that you don't have any deep hatred towards us and the Yituan people, and you don't seem to be disdainful of our and the Yituan's ideals."
Liu Qiaoer smiled sincerely: "The Yituan is a very heroic organization that fights against foreigners, but after all, it is small in scale and limited in strength. If you try to shake the officials and nobles of the court with your own strength, it is undoubtedly like an ant trying to shake an elephant."
Qian Kun nodded in agreement: "It is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, someone has to do it. The court of Dayuan Dynasty is too corrupt. They clean up the prefectures for one year and make a lot of money for ten years. They are seriously corrupt and plunder the people's wealth. For money, they even colluded with the British and sold opium."
Liu Qiaoer: "We all know this. You probably also know that the seaside smoke three years ago was hosted by the son of Zhennan Marquis. I was there at the time."
Qian Kun nodded: "I heard about it. So when Prince Xin asked me to kill the Marquis of Zhennan, I thought it was impossible. The fact that the Marquis of Zhennan had a son who was willing to destroy the opium shows that he was well educated, and he also won the war in the south."
The Marquis of Zhennan's cooperation with the Heyi Tuan in this southern expedition also had a mass base, and the people of the Heyi Tuan still trusted the Marquis of Zhennan very much.
Liu Qiaoer: "The court is corrupt, and ordinary people can do nothing about it. We can only disintegrate them from within, and the best weapon is the emperor. The emperor is actually quite wise. Western countries are developing rapidly in science and technology, and our Dayuan Dynasty is lagging behind. If we lag behind, we will be beaten, and the emperor does not want to be beaten."
"If the emperor doesn't want to be beaten, he must develop technology, but 80% of the economy of the Dayuan Dynasty is in the hands of the nobles and ministers. You also said that a year as a prefect is worth 100,000 silver coins. If the roots are rotten, they must be uprooted."
"But it's not us. We want them to fight among themselves, and pit the emperor against his ministers. What the emperor wants is money. He needs to develop his country, and the court officials can be replaced one after another until those who are replaced are not corrupt."
Qian Kun asked again: "What if the emperor loses?"
Liu Qiaoer chuckled, "If the emperor fails, we can just replace him. It doesn't matter who is the emperor. As long as the people live and work in peace, the corrupt people spit out the money, and the Dayuan Dynasty has a peaceful environment, and everyone has food to eat and clothes to wear when it's cold, that's enough."
Qian Kun thought for a long time and seemed to have an epiphany.
"We just want a country where everyone is equal, where the people have food to eat and clothes to wear when they are cold. If there is such a court, we and the Righteous Group will support it."
Liu Qiaoer nodded: "It is difficult to make everyone equal. Privileges always exist. It is almost impossible to eliminate them. But we can improve the social status of ordinary people and the combat capability of the whole country. For the rest, we can only do our best."
Qian Kun's eyes sparkled. "Listening to your words is worth ten years of study. Miss Liu, I want to ask you one more question. How did you learn the Thirteen Soul-Chasing Needles at such a young age?"
Liu Qiaoer took out a very old medical book from her bosom and handed it to Qian Kun: "I'll give it to you. There are many lost medical skills in it, mainly acupuncture, and many other acupuncture methods, which I see have been lost now."
"Medical skills require inheritance. I hope they can be passed down, not just passed down to one family. Otherwise, after a long time, nothing will be left."
Qian Kun looked at Liu Qiao'er incredulously: "Inheritance? Aren't you afraid that if others learn it, you won't make any money?"
Liu Qiaoer smiled: "Studying medicine is about saving lives and healing the wounded. If you study medicine for the sake of making money, then you will become a drug dealer."
Sure enough, this girl's mind is beyond his reach.
Qian Kun flipped through the book carefully and found that there were indeed some techniques he had never seen before. Some acupuncture techniques could treat various diseases and were very useful to him.
