The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 457 Looking for the Chen Clan

After taking a nap, Yao Yangyun felt much better when he got up the next morning, and his fever subsided.

After Hu Langzhong examined him, he announced happily that his malaria had been brought under control, and the medicine given by the natives worked.

For a time, all the ships cheered.

First, because the captain's illness was cured, everyone's backbone is still there.

The second is to find a drug to treat malaria, and everyone no longer has to worry about this disease.

Hu Langzhong was more happy than others, that is, he discovered a new method to treat malaria.

With this alone, they can leave a mark in the history books.

So he immediately found Yao Yangyun and made sure to get the medicine.

Yao Yangyun also knew the significance of this medicine, so he naturally agreed.

Said that the next time he traded with the natives, he would ask the other party for this item.

After taking two more doses of bark decoction, Yao Yangyun's malaria was basically under control.

When it was time to make an appointment with the native, he came to the coast again.

First, he solemnly expressed his gratitude to the leader, and agreed to exchange five steel knives for the items he needed.

In addition to the seeds of potatoes, cotton and rubber trees that were needed before, the seeds and a lot of bark of the tree that can treat malaria were also requested.

With the drug to treat malaria, the morale of the expedition returned to normal.

Many people volunteered to continue going south to see if they could meet any treasures.

Yao Yangyun knew what they were thinking, if they could stay another day, the other fleet would be able to pan for more gold.

This was exactly what he wanted, so he continued to go south with the people.

Along the way, he also quietly checked for traces of the Chen family as before.

This matter was extremely secretive, and others only thought that he was looking for new species, and didn't think much about it.

The insider, Lu Anzheng, turned a blind eye to it. He didn't even mention Yao Yangyun's words to him before.

It seemed that the events of that day never happened.

It's a pity that no matter how Yao Yangyun probed, the final result was the same as before.

There is no relevant information.

He has long been accustomed to this, and after so many years of investigation, he has already decided deep down in his heart that perhaps the Chen family is simply a fiction.

Because of such a powerful force, it is impossible not to leave clues.

But as he said before, does the truth matter?

Perhaps the emperor himself didn't have any hope of investigating this matter, and the reason why he sent someone to investigate was just to express his opinion.

For Yao Yangyun and the others, this matter is the guarantee for their survival.

Because if you don't perform this task, you have to perform other tasks.

Although this task is also very dangerous, many people died on the way.

For example, his former partner, Qian Yi, fell into the sea on the way to Tianzhu, and he didn't even find his body.

But even so, it is much better than performing other tasks.

At least they can grasp this matter, at least in the process of action, they can enjoy relative freedom.

You don't have to worry about it all day long.

So no matter what they think deep in their hearts, they have to investigate this matter as true.

But it's better now, this kind of life is finally over, and he can be free when he goes back.

Of course, only relatively free.

After all, he knew a lot of things that the royal family couldn't see, and it was the emperor's kindness to let him out alive.

It is impossible to give him real freedom.

In the future, he can only live in Yi Nu's Taoist temple for the elderly, and cannot leave at will.

But God knows how attractive this kind of life is to a person who lives in nowhere.

It can be said that this is the life he dreamed of.

I didn't dare to expect extravagantly before, but now I am about to get it, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Before they knew it, another month passed, and they had penetrated deep into the southern part of Nanshangzhou.

Many more seeds were obtained and many samples collected.

There is a lot more content in that notebook, and there are many more lines on the map that only has outlines.

That day Lu An was looking for him and said, "Captain, it's time for us to return."

Hearing this sentence, Yao Yangyun couldn't help being in a trance, and muttered: "Is it time to go back?"

Then he asked himself and answered, "Yes, it's time to go back...it's time to go back."

Lu Anzheng didn't quite understand his feelings, but it didn't matter, he didn't care about such things at all.

He just wanted to go home safely, get a reward from the court, and change the fate of the family from then on.

Even if he dies, his son can inherit everything from him, and he will become the master of Datang from then on.

For such a secret thing, I don't want to touch it at all.

So after Yao Yangyun recovered, he took the initiative to speak out about it.

As long as the words were not said that day, he didn't want to get involved.

Yao Yangyun readily agreed.

After that, the two went about their business as usual.

For example, now, Lu Anzheng didn't care how he was doing with his mission, he just looked for him when he saw that it was time to return to the voyage.

"If you don't return, the strait will freeze over."

Yao Yangyun lost his mind because he was finally saying goodbye to this kind of life, and also saying goodbye to the previous life, and he felt a little emotional for a while.

However, he has no nostalgia for his previous life, so after sighing, he felt suddenly relieved, and raised his voice:

"Okay, let's go home."

Hearing this sentence, the subordinate next to him shouted ecstatically, "I'm back, I'm home... I'm back, I'm back..."

Soon everyone in the fleet shouted together, returning, going home.

After being out for such a long time, who would miss home?

Listening to the cheerful cheers, Yao Yangyun also showed a sincere smile.

The fleet went all the way north, and arrived at the Jinsha River after fifteen days. It was half a boat full of crude gold ingots, which completely made the crew boil.

This trip not only gained status, but also gained money. It can be said that more than half of the pursuit of life has been realized.

Seeing so much gold, many people were moved by it and wanted to stay and shop for a few more days.

Even one more day of scouring would be enough for them to earn half a year's hard work.

Even Yao Yangyun, who didn't care much about money, was a little surprised to see so much gold.

The Jinsha River is indeed a river flowing with gold.

However, his brain is very clear, and he knows what it means to have endless desires.

So he immediately ordered the burning of all residences and tools, and forced everyone to evacuate.

To prevent someone from stabbing him at night, he took a group of confidants on another boat alone.

He didn't board the big boat again until he was far away from the Jinsha River and everyone woke up from the stimulation brought by gold.

Afterwards, the fleet continued to go northward, and arrived at the Shangzhou Strait before freezing.

Looking at Shangzhou Continent in the distance, Yao Yangyun was filled with emotions, but more of them were amazed.

This continent is truly blessed.

In the past, he always thought that the Central Plains was the best place in the world, but he realized that the geographical environment of the Central Plains was really only half of what he traveled to.

Tianzhu's climate and land are more suitable for farming than the Central Plains, let alone Shangzhou. The endless plains are simply natural cultivated land.

But it was the infertile land of the Central Plains that gave birth to a powerful and splendid Chinese civilization.

This is the place that makes him most proud. The longer he travels outside and the more he sees, the more proud he is.

……

Chen Jingke started to have a headache again recently, not because of any difficulties encountered in science or research, but because of Oracle's research here.

Seeing Cheng Huailiang's disheveled face, he said:

"Arguing again?"

Cheng Huailiang sighed, and said, "I'll be damned if I don't quarrel once."

Oracle bone inscriptions are a completely unfamiliar thing, and there are countless guesses about every word.

Everyone has an opinion, and quarrels are inevitable.

Don't think that the quarrels of these big guys are gentle, most of the time they are just as red-faced.

If it weren't for the consideration of face, it is estimated that physical persuasion would have to be done manually.

Cheng Huailiang likes to join in there when he has nothing to do, often acting as a peacemaker, and then being sprayed by everyone.

He was very angry every time, but he never tired of it every time.

Chen Jingke didn't have such a big heart as him, and said: "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't put the Institute of Chinese Language and Literature in the academy, it would save me so much trouble."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Huailiang immediately objected: "No, it must be placed in the academy, and this reputation must remain in the academy."

There was a smile on the corner of Chen Jingke's mouth, and he quickly covered it up, pretending not to care and saying:

"Does our academy lack this reputation? Now who doesn't know that this is the highest palace of physical science?"

Cheng Huailiang said: "So what, no one thinks too much of fame. Now we only have Gewu, and in the future we will have both literature and Gewu."

"The people in the Institute of Characters are all masters in literature."

"I've taken care of them now, and I'll find an opportunity to let them take an elective course in the future. Are they embarrassed to refuse?"

"Elective electives can become regular courses after a while, and then we can open up a liberal arts school."

It was the first time Chen Jingke heard of his plan, and he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Yes, when did you think of it?"

Cheng Huailiang said complacently: "I've thought about it a long time ago, but I didn't know if it would work, so I didn't say it."

"During this period of time, I have been going around there, just wanting to have a relationship with those big guys."

"Recently, three people have agreed to open elective courses, and seven people are willing to take an open class from time to time."

"When their courses are opened and the atmosphere is improved, I believe more people will join in."

"At that time, I believe that many people will be tempted to invite them to officially start the class."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and then he stood up and said, "No, I'm going to use some of the new classrooms as soon as possible, and set up the shelves of the Faculty of Arts."

Chen Jingke was very speechless, stopped him and said: "Don't worry, what are you doing in such a hurry, don't worry about it for a while."

"It is not difficult to establish a liberal arts college. The difficult thing is how to develop and grow. This must be well planned."

Cheng Huailiang said: "What's so difficult about this, isn't it the same as Gewu College?"

"We can build the Gewu Academy from scratch, but we can't make it to the Liberal Arts Academy."

Chen Jingke said: "It's not that I hit you, it may not be possible to do well."

"Don't be unconvinced, let me ask you, are you planning to focus on literature or object research?"

"Should we teach literature and Gewu at the same time, or separately?"

Cheng Huailiang said subconsciously: "Of course we taught together..."

After he finished speaking, he realized the problem. The students of Gewuyuan spent more time in the laboratory than in the classroom all day long.

Sometimes in order to do research, I don't leave the laboratory for a few days.

Under such circumstances, how can you spare time to study literature?
If we really open up literature classes in this way, either the students will not be able to concentrate on studying science knowledge, or the teachers who teach literature will be annoyed.

Thinking of this, he also knew that he was sloppy, so he sat down again and said, "Do you have any ideas?"

Chen Jingke said: "The method is actually not complicated. Separate Gewu and literature and start them as two colleges."

Cheng Huailiang frowned and said: "But I still hope that the people in Gewuyuan know more, otherwise it will be too easy to suffer when dealing with people."

Chen Jingke said: "Your idea is good. Literature can cultivate personal sentiment and help people establish a correct life direction. It is indeed necessary to learn."

"But you must distinguish between the primary and secondary, and you can't delay the study of things for the sake of studying literature."

Cheng Huailiang said with some headache: "Then what do you think should be done?"

Chen Jingke said: "After the grade material textbook is compiled, we will classify it according to different levels of difficulty."

"The first grade is the entry level, the second grade is more difficult, the third grade is even more difficult...and so on."

"The first grade is the time to get started and lay the foundation. You can study both literature and physics."

"When you reach the second grade, you can choose your major. Is it literature or Gephysics?"

"If you choose Gewu, you should major in Gewu and minor in literature. If you choose literature, you should major in literature and minor in Gewu."

"When it comes to the third grade, we will further reduce unnecessary courses and leave more time for professional courses."

"In the fourth grade and even higher grades, except for professional courses, everything else is taken as elective study."

"The elective courses are set up a little simpler, mainly for students to understand, and do not require much in-depth research."

"In this way, those gentlemen who teach literature will not feel that they are underestimated, and the students of Gewu also learn knowledge other than Gewu. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Cheng Huailiang said: "Good idea, this idea is good."

Then he suddenly came to his senses and said, "My good boy, you haven't planned this for a long time, have you?"

Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "There is really no such thing. Human energy is limited, so I don't have time to think about it."

"My plan for Qiuxuan Academy is the highest hall of Gewuxue. I never thought of opening a comprehensive academy."

"Today you talked about the Faculty of Arts. I think it's a good plan after thinking about it."

"Since you want to do it, then do it. It will be good for the academy if you really do it."

Cheng Huailiang asked: "Then how did you think of this? Don't tell me you just thought of it."

Chen Jingke said with a smile: "It's really not what I thought of, that's what I did at my home."

Cheng Huailiang said with an unexpected expression, "Sure enough, it's just as I guessed."

"Since your family has done this before, it means that this method is feasible, and our academy will try to do the same."
