After all, in Bai Zhen's eyes, learning a craft is real learning, but these academies are temporarily vacant. There are five academies in total, and they are used as trial points after all.
After the matter was resolved, Bai Zhen returned to the room she had just been in, and Prince Wan followed in: "Are you sure? Do you want to assign a teacher now?"
Bai Zhen nodded: "Of course, these teachers also need to be evaluated. The best students will teach the best students. This is the only way to produce talents. Of course, their character needs to be good, but we have time to do it slowly."
In addition, the craft college will open first. It will accept everyone regardless of whether you can read or not, because there are a variety of crafts to choose from, such as medicine, carpentry, architecture and a series of other subjects.
Kyoto has already selected teachers from various series to come and teach, and they will also select local ones. When Bai Zhen and the others go to the next place, the first group of teachers who followed them will also leave with them. After all, this is Bai Zhen and their team.
Time passed slowly under such a busy situation. In a blink of an eye, it has been three months since Qian Jiujiu and others came to Fucheng. Wan Houyu looked at the three-story ship and was excited: "Quick, someone prepare the boat, I want to go to South Island."
Although more than three months have passed, from the outside, there is no apparent change in South Island, except for a few more factories.
One is a paper mill, one is a printing factory, and the other is a small jewelry factory. However, the small jewelry factory is still empty because there are not enough people, and they are just waiting for people from Yucheng to arrive.
After Wan Houyu arrived on the island, he quickly found Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao. The two were having afternoon tea. After all, everything on the island had been handled, so they had some free time.
"Greetings, Your Majesty, Princess."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Wan Houyu: "Why did you suddenly come to the island?"
After he finished speaking, he thought of something. Could it be a big ship? Sure enough, Wan Houyu said, "Princess, the ship is ready. Please ask the prince and princess to come and check it out."
Wan Houyu's face was filled with pride. Indeed, the tallest and most luxurious ship in the entire Great Zhou was built by him and his men. How could he not be proud
Qian Jiujiu also became a little excited. She was the one who witnessed the appearance of the first large sea-going ship in this era. She looked at Mu Yexiao and said, "Husband, let's go over and take a look now."
As soon as Mu Yexiao heard Qian Jiujiu addressing him, he knew that she was in a good mood. Hearing this address, he was also in a good mood: "Okay."
The two men immediately stood up and called Xiaoman. After all, Xiaoman was also very interested in big ships. The three of them followed Wan Houyu to the South Island Port. The port had been planned, but had not yet been built because of a lack of manpower.
After getting on the boat, the group headed towards Yongfeng County. After arriving, the first thing Qian Jiujiu and the other two people did after getting off the boat was to go to see the newly built large ship.
The three-story ship still looked very majestic to one person. Qian Jiujiu walked around the ship and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad. I'll go take a look inside. Can I go in now?"
She knew some taboos of sailors on the island, so it was better to ask. Wan Houyu smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's take a look inside. After the inspection is passed, the big ship will be launched."
Qian Jiujiu did not get the engine or anything. Although the boat was very big, it still relied on sails and manpower. The huge oars had not been installed yet and were placed aside.
Mu Yexiao picked up a piece and checked it, and found it was very solid. He had to say that he was a professional at doing these things. He followed Qian Jiujiu to the boat, and everything on the boat was according to her requirements, and he had to say it was very good.
"Let's try it out tomorrow. If it works, we can make it in batches."
Wan Houyu nodded: "Yes. If it is mass-produced, it will probably be slower. The reason why this ship is so fast is because everyone is working day and night. We can't go on like this. People can't stand it, so it will be slower."
Mu Yexiao could understand and nodded: "Okay, go slow if you want, the most important thing is to do it well."
Although I have seen the launch of a large ship before, a ship of this size must be different from the previous ones, and the previous ceremony cannot be followed: "When you launch the ship, have people stand further away. Don't take people into the sea with such a large ship."
It seems so. Wan Houyu nodded and said, "Okay, I will deal with it that day."
The launch of a large ship requires an auspicious day, and the nearest day is just right, the third day is one of them, and Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao will naturally participate on that day. Xiaoman doesn't understand these things, and has never spoken up to get involved, but now he sees that people are free.
Then he walked over and said, "We have been staying on the island recently. It's a good opportunity for us to spend some time with the children. Let's go to the palace now. I also want to ask Bai Zhen how things are going."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao naturally had no objection, and the three of them walked towards the palace together.
Nan Nan and Bei Bei watched their father, mother, and aunt walk in from outside. For a moment, they were a little doubtful, wondering if they had seen it wrong. They rubbed their eyes before speaking, "Father, mother?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Are you unhappy to see your mother? Why don't you rush over?"
Nanbeibei looked at each other, a hint of helplessness flashed in their eyes, and then they rushed towards Qian Jiujiu together: "Mom, I miss you so much."
Qian Jiujiu hugged the two children contentedly: "Mom misses you too. What have you been doing during this time? Have you been obedient?"
Mu Yexiao just looked at the scene in front of him lovingly. Xiaoman rolled her eyes and felt a little regretful that she didn't bring Gu Xiangning with her this time. She had been fed dog food by the two of them and had no chance to give back.
I couldn't help but cough twice: "You two little guys, you can't see me at all."
Nannanbeibei came out of Qianjiujiu's arms and looked at Xiaoman: "Aunt, we miss you too."
Xiaoman reached out and touched Nannan's head: "That's good enough. Auntie misses you too. Have you prepared your gifts? Take Auntie to see them."
When she came, the gift was not ready yet. Now such a long time has passed, should it be ready? Xiaoman thought so, but looked at Nannanbei and laughed: "If auntie wants to see it, she has to go back to Beijing. The gift has been sent back, and it should have been received."
At this time, Yin'er had indeed received the gifts. The people from Zhenwei Escort Agency delivered the things to the palace, and Qingyu took over. Looking at these things, of course they had to be checked before they were sent to the palace. After finding that they were harmless, they were sent to the palace.
"My Lord, Princess Ankang has sent you another gift."
Yin'er has been receiving gifts from Beibei for a while now, and he is no longer surprised. When he heard about the gifts, he just said, "Move in."
Soon, they saw a huge thing being carried in. Yin'er was a little puzzled. In the past, his sister always sent small things, so why was the thing she sent this time so big
After taking a curious look, he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore: "It's so beautiful, come on, move my bed over here, I want to sleep here tonight."
The news that the eldest prince had received another big gift soon spread throughout the palace, and the emperor, out of curiosity, brought the queen and two little princes to see it.
Looking at the scenery at the seaside, a hint of nostalgia flashed in the queen's eyes: "This is the situation at the seaside."
Yin'er looked at his mother in confusion and said, "Mother, have you ever been to the beach?"
The Queen nodded and sat next to Yin'er. Although she had two more children, the Queen never neglected Yin'er. On the contrary, when she learned that Yin'er had studied so hard recently, she paid more attention to him.
"Yes, I have been there. My mother even caught crabs there! There were also fish with eight legs that could spit out black ink. It was magical!"
Yin'er looked at his mother in surprise: "Mother, why can you go to the beach?"
The Queen was somewhat amused: "When my mother was in the boudoir, she was not a young lady who was kept in seclusion. At that time, my mother liked to run around outside and had seen a lot of things..."
To be honest, if she had not been chosen by the late emperor, she would never have been able to sit on the position of Crown Princess, let alone become the current emperor.
After listening to what the Queen said, Yin'er liked the gift even more. When he learned that Xiaoyi also had a gift, he went over to take a look. He found that none of the gifts were as good as his, and it was made by his cousin. Only then did Yin'er return to the palace satisfied.
After receiving the gift, Yin'er wrote a rare letter to Beibei. Qingyu found the escort leader of Zhenwei Escort Agency and said, "This is a letter written by the eldest prince to the princess. You must not lose it, understand?"
When the leader of Zhenwei Escort Agency heard that it was written by the eldest prince, his hands trembled a little, and then he said very solemnly: "Madam, rest assured, the letter is as good as the person, and the letter is disgraced and the person is dead."
Seeing that this person actually made such a serious promise, Qingyu expressed great satisfaction: "Well, if nothing goes wrong, it will be delivered to the princess smoothly."
After the people from Zhenwei Escort Agency left, the Third Chief Steward looked at Qingyu and said, "Why don't you let Xiaoying deliver it? Can the people from the Escort Agency be trusted?"
Qingyu blinked her eyes: "A person that the county lord trusts should be reliable. Besides, isn't Xiaoying following the county lord there now? How can we find him?"
The two men walked towards the palace after saying this. The people from Zhenwei Escort Agency did not even take other escorts because of the letter from the eldest prince. They directly escorted this letter and rushed to Fucheng as quickly as possible.
Halfway through the walk, when passing by a forest, they heard someone shouting for help. After all, Headmaster Hu was a kind person, so when he heard the voice, he went over to check.
Then he saw a child in the trap and pulled the child out directly: "Whose child are you? You are so naughty that you fell in? Where are your parents? Do you want me to take you back?"
