The man who has traveled through time and space for a long time is so scary

The kitchen servants brought snacks and desserts to the study room one after another, and also brought a small clay stove to warm up the fermented rice wine so that they could taste it while chatting.

Ling Wuxin and Ye Xiao were chatting seriously, but the content was all business. They talked about their layout on certain things, their judgment on certain major events, and the development plans of various industries. "Third brother, your department will probably have to work hard for another two or three years. Once we develop, we can't hide it. Even if we want to hide it, the people will spread it. So I thought, when we build a big granary here, the material reserves will be abundant, the people's lives will be stable and prosperous, and the army will be strong. Whoever wants to know can let him know, and we will have the confidence!"

"Brother, I understand. The situation outside is in chaos. We should hide it if we can. We are not afraid of any hardship. We don't want others to mess up the situation and bully us! But I have seen the people who have been sent out so far. We don't have many people available, and those who have been sent out are all in very important positions." Ye Xiao was in a relaxed posture. He even glanced at Bai Lu while he was talking.

"It's a bit difficult to train new people! I don't plan to train any more. Some small powers still need to be let go to allow more people to participate, so that the power will be greater. But loyalty is definitely rare, so I'll just have to take a step back and seek the hearts of the people!" Ling Wuxin sighed helplessly. Recently, he has been making drastic changes to the army, and the development of some industries has indeed occupied a lot of his manpower.

"Brother, it's probably not enough to just consider feeding and clothing the people, we also have to think about it..." Ye Xiao pointed to his head, indicating what he didn't say. Ling Wuxin knew what he meant, which was to make people believe in him from the bottom of their hearts.

"So far, plans have been made for the military, agriculture, industry, and commerce, except for the 'scholars'. As for education, the issue is very complicated, and I don't have a better solution for the time being..." Ling Wuxin expressed his helplessness. The tragic situation of uneven education levels was a headache. Except for the scholars who had a higher education rate, the others were really not worth mentioning. Those who could read and count were already high-level talents!

"When I was walking on the street, I saw old men strolling around the street who were very interested in learning street slogans. I also learned that when factories required literacy when recruiting workers, many people looked regretful when they were not selected. So I can feel that people are eager to learn..." Ye Xiao recounted what he had seen and heard.

At first, Yiyi and Bailu were whispering in a small place, far away from them, thinking that they would not disturb them if they could. Later, they found that they actually started to discuss education after talking about work. The two sisters could not help but sit up and listen carefully. They looked at each other and blinked, and the meaning was very clear. In terms of academic qualifications, the three sisters all graduated from a serious university. If they were thrown into ancient times, they should not be bad at teaching, right?! They have never had a better position, and if they were engaged in education, they should be good at it!

Yiyi mouthed silently, "How about asking first?"

Bai Lu nodded and whispered, "I think it's okay, let's understand it first!"

The two men with excellent hearing ability looked at them at the same time. The four of them stared at each other for a moment, and it was Yiyi who broke the deadlock first. "I heard that you were talking about education issues, and we two sisters also have some ideas to say!"

"I have a lot of ideas!" Bai Lu nodded in agreement.

Ling Wuxin stood up and came to sit next to Yiyi. "Okay! Let's talk about it later! Are you hungry? Have a snack first!"

"..." Yiyi was suddenly stuffed with a snack and couldn't speak. She could only glare at him.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao followed suit, stood up and sat next to Bai Lu, and also fed her some snacks. This action caused Bai Lu to say coquettishly, "Be serious, I don't want to eat!"

"Okay! I'll eat it!..." Night Owl turned the snack into his own mouth, chewing it slowly and elegantly.

"Can you first tell us about the current state of education?" Bai Lu asked hurriedly as she watched them finish their snacks. What the three sisters lack most at the moment is a true understanding of the current situation.

"Those who go to school are a minority. Big families have clan schools, and only families with a solid foundation will send their children to academies. Kyoto has an Imperial Academy, and it's already very good for ordinary people to be able to attend private schools!" Ye Xiao was able to actively satisfy his wife's curiosity.

"So what courses are they taking? Oh, what books are they reading?" Yiyi was also curious about what types of books people are studying nowadays.

"Children should first learn to read and write. Sanbaiqian is an indispensable enlightenment book, and there are also Elementary School Canzhu, Mingwu Mengqiu, Longwen Bianying, and Youxue Qionglin. After completing the enlightenment, they begin to study the Four Books, Five Classics, as well as history books and the various schools of thought." Ling Wuxin explained carefully with a smile.

Yiyi and Bailu couldn't help but look at each other again. It seemed that there was not much difference.

"Then where will our baby go to school in the future?" Bai Lu asked in confusion.

"Haha, I'll teach myself!" Night Owl was pleased with her question and laughed heartily.

"So, the child doesn't even have classmates?!" Yiyi also questioned.

"My dear, what do you want to say? Just say it!" Ling Wuxin smiled dotingly. He seemed to have discovered the routine of the two sisters. They must have some ideas after asking them this many questions.

"Husband, let me tell you, education is really important. Our most powerful strategy is 'Education is the foundation of a century-long plan'! For a country to develop, talent cultivation is very important! This talent does not refer to those who take exams to become officials, but talents selected through universal education in all walks of life. After all, science and technology are the primary productive forces. Am I right, second sister?" Yiyi's words sounded a little lofty, and she hurriedly pulled Bailu to support her.

"Of course, the power of education is immeasurable, but let's not propose such lofty goals for now. At least we should start with universal literacy, so that everyone can recognize words and count. Then we can popularize basic education, and finally select high-level talents. Am I clear?" Bai Lu added in the details, and then she looked at her husband for his opinion.

"It's very clear! How are we going to carry out this literacy campaign? The number of people is huge and the task is arduous!" Ye Xiao's eyes were sharp and his face was serious. This was a huge project.

Bai Lu: "What's the big number of people to worry about? It's not like you need to gather everyone together to learn. Well, literacy classes are of course for the whole nation to participate. We should still use the old method to find ways to get people to learn actively and mobilize all positive forces to learn. Of course, we should first standardize the commonly used characters, with pictures and texts, explanations, and sentence structures. Since this is a popular version, of course the characters are close to life, and the obscure ones are ignored. Yiyi, do you think ten thousand characters are enough?"

"Textbooks with pictures and texts are the most suitable, but what kind of motivation is lacking to make people willing to learn to read? If the recognition of words is added as a recruitment condition, it will be given priority. If everyone participates, each district will have a literacy competition and set reward levels. For example, how much food will be rewarded for recognizing 100 words? I think people of all ages on the streets and in villages can be mobilized. In addition, literacy and writing learning must be carried out in military camps and factories..." Yiyi blinked as she spoke and thought.

"Both text and pictures? Are you trying to say that you want to publish a textbook?" Ling Wuxin rubbed her hair helplessly, and reminded her to pay attention to her bulging belly. Is this the way she can still do things?

"Oh! Husband, we feel that there is no one more suitable to do this than us. It would be great if we could set up some interesting activities to encourage people to learn to read actively. Besides, it's the New Year and many people are free. Why not hold a reading competition, which will be lively and rewarding? Isn't it?" Yiyi looked at her expectantly, hoping that he would approve.

"Okay! You can participate, but I'll still arrange for someone from the government to handle this matter!" Ling Wuxin couldn't bear to completely reject her kindness.

"There's no need to arrange people from the government to do it. Just issue a notice and arrange for some cultured students, or teachers, or people from the academy to host this event, and give them certain rewards. Besides, these activities are great for their enrollment promotion! It's best to recruit people in the name of your husband. You see, this way you will win the favor of scholars! They not only get benefits, but can also help you educate the people. Don't you think so?" After Yiyi expressed her point of view in a firm tone, she found that the man's eyes were burning. He looked at her steadily without saying a word, so she hurriedly asked for his opinion.

Ling Wuxin and Ye Xiao were both stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses and nodded. They had been thinking about who could take the lead in doing this. Yiyi's suggestion was just in time! This is so right. Aren't they just short of people? Isn't it here? Compared to building a school on a large scale, which is time-consuming and costly, this is a national literacy competition. The school can also be built slowly in accordance with public opinion!

"Okay! I know what to do! Guaiguai, you and your second sister take a rest, I and Lao San will do this." Ling Wuxin's eyes were full of his Guaiguai who was devoted to him, and he felt extremely satisfied! See? This is what a lover should be like!

"I understand, but can you find a set of enlightenment books for us first?" Yiyi was very happy and she made a further request.

"Of course there are!" Ling Wuxin stood up and pulled out a wooden box from a rare location at the bottom of the bookshelf, opened it, and took out a large stack of books. They were enlightenment books: Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, Thousand Character Classic, Names and Objects, Children's Book of Qionglin...

"Wow, so many! Actually, I haven't read the original versions of these books. Second sister, let's learn their essence and discard the dross..." Yiyi's eyes lit up, ancient books!

"Puchi!...You are so naughty!" Bai Lu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Both men had doting smiles on their faces. They sat back in their original seats and began to think about writing letters, proposals, and plans...
