Guoguo had nothing else to do, so Yeheng suggested they visit the academy. They took a carriage to the hills outside the city. The academy was located between the third and fourth hills, straddling two peaks. It was majestic, with inscriptions on the gate: "The First Academy in the World—Dayan." Yeheng and Guoguo drove the carriage to the academy's gate.

The guard knocked on the door, and it opened. The carriage drove in, continuing to the office. The guard drove the carriage to the parking area—to feed the horses and rest. Ye Heng and Guo Guo went to the office, where they had their own room. They opened the door. This was the dean's office, usually locked, and Guo Guo could only open it when she arrived. The acting deans were Jiang Ting and Li Kai. Seeing the dean's room open, they walked back and forth. Seeing that it was the prince, they said, "The prince is here, how do you have the key to this room?" Ye Heng looked at them, but they didn't say anything. Guo Guo: "I do." Jiang Ting: "Who are you? How can a girl like you have the key to this office?" Guo Guo looked at the old man, confused, and said, "Why shouldn't I have the key to this office?" Ye Heng sat down and said, "Please sit down. You two have been here for years. But you don't know what this academy is about? Why was it built? The highest institution of learning is the Imperial College, so why is this academy still being run?" Jiang Ting truly had no idea, only being here to oversee daily affairs. It's such a big building, but there aren't many people, just a few classes. Guoguo spoke up, "If you have anything to say, please say it. If not, I'll say it first. I'm very dissatisfied with the current teaching. It's my fault for not taking care of it these past few years. Now I'll take a look. Starting next year, I'll be in charge." Jiang Ting: Who are you? Guoguo: "I'm the founder of this college. In other words, I paid for its construction, and I'm also the dean of this college. I have the final say on what kind of talents my college will cultivate in the future, not just in these few departments. I want a diversified education concept for all kinds of talents. Cultivate talents in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. There are both liberal arts and science, multidisciplinary talents, there are literati, there are both civil and military talents, there are scientists, there are artists, there are those who specialize in agricultural research, there are those who conduct scientific research and create new things, there are those who are proficient in mathematics and mechanics, there are those who are scientific and technological, talents in all aspects. It's not the way teaching is done now. If you two still want to stay here, you'll have to pass an exam to be qualified to teach here. I'm the only dean, no one is needed. Of course, I have to teach too; no one sits around and earns money. Everyone has to go into the classroom, either as a teacher or a student. I teach foreign languages, non-physics, or math. You two should see what you can teach and apply for the exam. That's it for this year, and we'll update next spring. "Let's go, Fengxing. I'm going to lock the door." Jiang Ting came out, Guoguo locked the door, and left with Yeheng. In the car, Guoguo said, "If it's just like this, this academy might as well not open." Yeheng knew that after reading physics books for a few days, he had understood a lot, things he had never learned before. It was the first time he had ever seen such theory.

I understand Guoguo's purpose in building the academy. Ye Heng says, "Guoguo, I support you. Brother Ye has been reading physics for a few days and understands a lot of knowledge and principles. They really aren't up to the task. Choose a new teacher. I'll talk to the Emperor right now and recruit talented people from all over the world to teach." Guoguo: "Let's try, it's hard to find." Master Li Jingwen can be a role model in academic subjects, but he can only teach academic subjects and the principles of conduct. In the future, those who can fly, swim, ascend to the heavens and descend to the earth will possess true skills.

"Brother Ye, get out of the car." Ye Heng got out of the carriage and asked the guards to drive the carriage away. Guo Guo waved her hand, and a luxury car appeared. Guo Guo walked up, opened the door and said, "Brother Ye, please come in."

Guoguo politely invited Ye Heng in and fastened his seatbelt. Guoguo then walked over to the other side, opened the door, and got in to drive. With a roar, the car took off, moving like it was flying! Guoguo said, "Brother Ye, hurry up! This is a modern vehicle. We can't build advanced weapons just by relying on what the Master said. We need to learn modern knowledge." Ye Heng was shocked. He knew Guoguo was special, but he hadn't expected her to have so many more secrets. Guoguo was a hidden gem, his little fairy. The journey took only a few minutes to reach the city gate. They got out of the car, and Guoguo put the car away in her space. They walked hand in hand into the capital. They then walked home.

After eating and washing up, they lay on the bed and talked. A leisurely night of passion. A sweet dream.

The next day, the Emperor's edict, addressed to all aspiring scholars, was posted at the four main gates of the capital, inviting the world's best scholars and earnestly recruiting teachers—the best academy in the world. A notice was also posted at the academy's entrance. Guoguo drafted a list of subjects to be offered at home, including specialized programs. The academy offered the following: Chinese—including literature, poetry, mathematics—mechanical arithmetic, physics, chemistry, zoology, botany, history, music, and physical education—including horseback riding and archery. Handicrafts—weaving, tailoring, embroidery, and painting. A comprehensive academy of medicine was also planned.

Guoguo bought a batch of books from Modern Times. They're going to be put in the library. Some are textbooks. They cover a wide range of interests. ...
