After binding the system, I became a national mystery person

"Yes, Your Majesty," Prime Minister Zhang Heng said with a serious expression. He was well aware of the complexity and subtlety of the current situation.

Since the country opened its doors and exchanges with other countries have become increasingly frequent, the prying and coveting of foreign forces have also followed closely.

Firearms and ammunition, as important weapons in modern warfare, their technology and manufacturing secrets must not easily fall into the hands of other countries, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"Your Majesty is wise. I will take strict precautions to ensure that this kind of core technology is not leaked."

Zhang Heng responded in a deep voice, secretly planning a specific plan to strengthen confidentiality measures.

He realized that in addition to strengthening internal scrutiny, stricter monitoring of foreign envoys and merchants was also needed to prevent them from spying on secrets in the name of cultural exchange or business cooperation.

Su Jinru nodded, with a hint of approval in her eyes.

"Prime Minister, I know you are a prudent person, but this matter is of great importance and must be carried out with absolute certainty.

In addition, you must secretly investigate to see if any officials in the court are colluding with foreign nations with ulterior motives. If discovered, they will be severely punished!

Zhang Heng accepted the order, and felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

This war without the smoke of gunpowder is more dangerous than the swords and spears on the battlefield. If we are not careful, the country may fall into an irretrievable situation.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my utmost to protect the peace of our dynasty."

Zhang Heng spoke in a firm tone, then turned around and tried to retreat, but then seemed to think of something and stopped.

Turning back, he asked, "Your Majesty, regarding those who proposed studying in our academy, how should we respond?"

Su Jinru pondered for a moment, a hint of deep thought flashing in her eyes.

"Mr. Zhang, this matter is of great importance. It concerns the inheritance of our dynasty's culture and also involves the subtleties of diplomacy.

Neighboring countries sent envoys and students to observe our dynasty's knowledge, but in fact they also wanted to test our dynasty's strength.

We must demonstrate the demeanor of a great power and not be stingy with our knowledge, but we must also be cautious and not leak confidential information."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Zhang Heng nodded and continued.

“I believe that a special academy could be established to accept students from neighboring countries, but the teaching content must be strictly screened.

It should cover the classics of our dynasty, but also incorporate common knowledge from around the world, such as arithmetic, medicine, and astronomy. This will both enhance communication and prevent the leakage of sensitive information."

"This is a great plan." Su Jinru praised.

“At the same time, we must select teachers who are both virtuous and talented. They should not only impart knowledge, but also set an example and demonstrate the demeanor of our dynasty’s scholars.

In addition, we need to strengthen supervision of students' words and deeds to ensure that the order of our dynasty is not disturbed."

"I obey your command." After receiving the order, Zhang Heng had a rough plan in mind.

He understood that this was not only an opportunity for academic exchange, but also a display of the country's soft power, and must be treated with caution.

In the following days, Zhang Heng was busy preparing for the establishment of the college. From site selection to teacher recruitment and curriculum setting, he personally took care of every step and strived for perfection.

At the same time, he also paid close attention to the developments in the court and changes in relations with neighboring countries to ensure that everything was under control.

After months of intense preparation, the college was finally completed and officially opened to the public.

Students from neighboring countries stepped into this palace of knowledge with curiosity and expectation.

Here, they not only learned about the profound cultural heritage of our country, but also felt the enthusiasm and friendliness of our people.

Our students have also broadened their horizons and gained knowledge through exchanges with them.

As time goes by, the college has gradually become an important bridge for cultural exchanges between two countries and even multiple countries.

Zhang Heng looked at all this, his heart filled with satisfaction and pride.

He knew that he had not only fulfilled His Majesty's instructions, but also won respect and friendship for the country.

Since then, this college has served as a place for exchange and learning with other countries.

Only limited to cultural exchange.

Ten years later, when Su Jinru was twenty-five years old, the country had become very prosperous.

The fields produce high-yield crops and abundant fruits, there are cheap pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and there are free schools and technical schools.

The country's vigorous development of factories and maritime trade has contributed to the country's construction.

"Daddy, I want to eat candied haws and osmanthus cake." A little girl in red clothes was skipping and jumping on the street.

The lanterns on the roadside are bright, and there are all kinds of stalls on both sides of the street.

The fragrance is everywhere, as if the whole town is immersed in a warm and lively atmosphere.

The little girl's voice was clear and sweet, echoing in the night sky like a silver bell, attracting gentle glances from the people around her.

Her father, a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, was dressed in a blue shirt, holding a folding fan, with a warm smile on his face, looking at his daughter dotingly.

He gently scratched the little girl's nose and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, you little greedy cat, Daddy will take you to find the most delicious candied haws and osmanthus cake."

The father and daughter walked hand in hand among the bustling crowd, and every step they took seemed so harmonious and happy.

Not far away, an old artist was skillfully turning the sugar painting spoon in his hand.

The golden syrup outlined vivid patterns on the stone slabs, attracting bursts of admiration from the children.

The little girl couldn't help but stop, her eyes wide open, full of curiosity and desire.

Seeing this, the father smiled and walked over with his daughter. "Old man, please make a sugar painting for my little girl. Draw her favorite butterfly."

He spoke softly to the old artist, who nodded in agreement, his technique becoming even more skillful.

After a while, a butterfly with its wings spread out, about to fly, appeared on the stone slab. It was crystal clear and beautiful beyond words.

The little girl took the sugar painting and smiled brighter than a flower. She licked it carefully, and the sweet taste instantly bloomed on the tip of her tongue, as if even the air became sweet.

"Daddy, it's delicious. Thank you, Daddy."

"Eat slowly. After you finish eating, you must go to school obediently tomorrow and can't stay in bed." The father tapped the little girl's forehead.

"I know, Daddy. I've always been a good boy and go to school seriously every day."

The little girl was a little unconvinced. She just couldn't get out of bed at the beginning, but she had never been lazy.

Turning a corner, an antique pastry shop came into view with a sign that read "Fragrant Osmanthus" hanging at the door. It was one of the destinations of their trip.

Before entering the door, the rich fragrance of osmanthus hits your nose, making you feel relaxed and happy.

Inside the store, the chefs are busy making various pastries. Among them, the plates of golden osmanthus cakes are particularly eye-catching. They are decorated with a few fresh osmanthus flowers, which are very beautiful.

The father took the little girl into the pastry shop and picked out a few pieces of the most tempting-looking osmanthus cakes.

The little girl took the cake and couldn’t wait to take a bite. It was soft, glutinous and sweet. The fragrance of osmanthus blended perfectly with the density of the cake, leaving people with an endless aftertaste.
