The Cruel Tyrant

88

On Bailu Mountain, former Qing Kingdom scholars led a group of old friends and students. They knelt for a whole day at the altar set up under heavy snow. The rise of smoke from the incense accompanied the various miserable howls that resounded through Bailu Mountain. However, Su Mu simply didn't give a damn about them.

After receiving the news that the Crown Prince told them to find their ancestors, Luo Jingwen instantly vomited out blood in anger, two lines of tears falling down his creased and wrinkled face, and shouted to the sky: "The evildoers are raging, and the kingdom of Qing is going to be destroyed! Heaven! .....Please open your eyes! The ancestors of the Qing Kingdom.....Please show your spirits!"

After shouting, this 60-year-old old man fell directly to the ground, and the people kneeling around hurriedly surrounded him.

"Teacher.....Teacher....."

"Jingwen! Jingwen! Call the doctor....."

"A century-old foundation being destroyed at once, and all the people in the world weep with sorrow. Such a tyrant should truly be annihilated by the heavens! Who can save our Qing kingdom? Who can save the people of our Qing Kingdom?"

Han Yi looked at this group of headless flies coldly, and only felt ridicule in his heart, 'all the people in the world weep with sorrow'? In their eyes, they themselves were the people, while everyone else were animals and beasts! It was undeniable that many of this group of people do have real talents. The "Heavenly Note Record" compiled by that Scholar Luo 20 years ago had now spread to various countries and had become a must-have musical score for the upper class. However, more than 90% of the common people of the Qing Kingdom who work in the soil had not even heard of the name. This group of scholars even said something like, "How can ignorant commoners know rituals and music?" The people of the world they represent were only the people in their own social circle.

Han Yi watched coldly as this group of people carried away Luo Jingwen, who was about to take his last breath. He then turned around and brought the army back to the Crown Prince's Palace to tell the Crown Prince what had happened on Bailu Mountain. After hearing this, Su Mu said: "Keep a watch on those people. If they stay at home then they can do whatever they like to do, but they are forbidden to gather in crowds anymore, this kind of thing that happened today is not allowed to happen again, if anyone gathers crowds to incite the people, kill them without mercy!"

"Yes."

After Han Yi retreated, Su Mu said to Lin Siyuan standing on the side: "The Imperial Classical Academy has been completed and divided into a men's college and a women's college, a university and an elementary school. Lin Siyuan you will be responsible for the men's college while Yun Feiyu is responsible for the women's college. When you go back, inform her of this."

"Yes." Lin Siyuan stepped forward and said, "But, Your Highness, is there too much emphasis on mathematics?"

Towards this world that discriminated against mathematics, Su Mu could not help feeling exasperated: "Not much. Literature and language already takes up half a day, but mathematics and martial arts together take up half a day."

The other Imperial Agricultural Academy and Imperial Engineering Academy were much smaller and only opened a university section. Inside were agricultural and engineering technicians gathered by Su Mu from all over the country who would specialize in studying agriculture and machinery.

In the evening, a Gu Yunzhou who was dusty from travel appeared in front of Su Mu. Su Mu took a closer look at the dark red on his black clothes, and the surprise on his face immediately became clouded: "Call the imperial doctor."
