“Indeed, I would’ve taken it on if I had the ability. This is also a good opportunity to make a name for yourself,” Zhou Huaiming said as he walked out of the study.

“I don’t want to be famous.” Gu Chengrui glared at him and muttered.

“So do you want to be the Emperor? Besides, you were the one who brought this up in the first place,” Zhou Huai Ming pointed out.

“What you’re implying is that I’m afraid I won’t be able to succeed in the end. Moreover, these are all highly academic subjects, and there’s no room for mistakes,” Gu Chengrui argued.

“We can’t be careless about this. What if I send two more assistants to the medical center to help you? This way, you can take some time to manage your affairs here,” the Emperor suggested.

“Sure, then please find students with a good foundation and comprehension. I will first teach them what I know, and then the rest of you can gradually study together,” Gu Chengrui agreed.

“Excellent. So, in the future, you will handle matters at the medical centers in the mornings and start teaching the students in the afternoons,” the Emperor decided.

“I understand. When will this begin?” Gu Chengrui pondered.

“Three days later. You will need to spend the next three days explaining everything to your two new assistants,” the Emperor replied after a moment’s hesitation.

“Understood. Then, I’ll take my leave now,” Gu Chengrui said and immediately left.

The Emperor didn’t stop him. After he left, he looked at Zhou Huaiming and asked, “How have you been recently? Any news from the Northern and Western Continents?”

“While there was some resistance, the progress has been relatively smooth. Notably, in the Northern Continent, aside from a few obstinate individuals, no one has stopped us from conducting business,” Zhou Huaiming reported.

“So, the resistance on the Western Continent is still quite strong?” The Emperor inquired.

“Yes, the Western Continent has many mountainous areas, and the people live scattered. Consequently, towns are few and far between, leading to fierce competition among local merchants. We will face even greater resistance if we try to enter the market. Additionally, the government turns a blind eye to this matter, making it challenging to establish a foothold.”

“If it truly proves infeasible, we can adapt our strategy. For instance, we could set up a stronghold in each county. Then, they would venture into the countryside under the pretense of collecting medicinal herbs and wood to infiltrate the area,” the Emperor suggested.

“I agree with this. The restaurants and inns from the Great Ming that worked on the Northern Continent would not be successful there. Therefore, besides the strongholds you mentioned, I propose setting up tea tents along the main roads in various locations. These would sell tea, steamed buns, and other simple food items. These merchants from the south and north are quite well-informed.”

“Regardless of their identity, remember to exercise caution, maintain a low profile, and prioritize your safety,” the Emperor emphasized.

“Understood. Oh, regarding the glass workshop, everything is practically finalized except for locating new mines. Therefore, I intend to make a personal trip to the Western Continent,” Zhou Huaiming informed the Emperor.

“Inform your family and remember to recruit a few reliable individuals from the southwest to accompany you. The Western Continent has a higher prevalence of poisonous creatures, so it’s best to be cautious.”

“Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will be careful.”

After Zhou Huaiming left, the Emperor reviewed the students’ exam papers from the basic mathematics test.

Following careful selection, he consolidated all the students and created a large class of forty people for Gu Chengrui to teach.

Three days later, Gu Chengrui officially began his class. However, he opted not to follow the textbook curriculum.

Since the textbook content began at the high school level, he needed to fill in the necessary foundational knowledge before advancing to the course material they would utilize later..
