After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

From the very beginning when the plague broke out, the people of Anping were instigated by the refugee army, and then the conflicts between men and women in Guangsha and Shucheng were provoked. In the final analysis, it was the lack of culture that caused the disaster.

It was not easy for people in ancient times to survive. Not having enough to eat would lead to slow thinking and naturally the brain would not be flexible.

In addition, there is the suppression of the policy of keeping the people ignorant.

The rulers suppressed thoughts and unified public opinion. They adhered to the principle that "a country is easy to govern when it is rich and its people are easy to govern when they are ignorant."

The richer the country, the poorer the people, and the dumber the people, the easier it is to govern the country.

Sticking to this governance ideology, whether in terms of eliminating unfavorable speech or cutting off the channels of communication (books), it will be difficult for the majority of ordinary people to break out of the cage of thought after generations of domestication.

Whether it was the people of Anping at the beginning or the people of Guangsha, Shucheng and Daocheng today, they are all the result of being domesticated.

In order to prevent this from happening and to help the people better understand future policies, it is imperative to carry out literacy campaign.

Having just finished the work on farm tools, Mu Qing then asked the officials in the government office to launch a comprehensive literacy campaign.

With such a large population base, it is impossible for everyone to be literate.

But Chinese characters are simple, and even an elderly person who is willing to learn can recognize most of the characters in three to five years.

In China's nine-year compulsory education, it doesn't take long for pinyin and Chinese characters to be combined from primary school onwards, and the speed at which primary school students learn to read can be accelerated through the use of spelling.

Literacy classes were held in all cities, but the results were minimal and were always inferior to those in Huangxian and Anping counties.

Mu Qing had a headache about this for a long time.

Officials in the government office were busy every day, and after a while they got used to it, and even followed Mo Xuzhi's example of introversion. As a result, the learning atmosphere in Anping Prefecture School and various county schools was very good.

There is also a tendency of involution among students.

If the people in the literacy classes had this awareness, Mu Qing wouldn't have to worry so much.

After several rounds of study at the prefectural school, most students cherish this platform. Mu Qing recently copied a few fairy tales and printed them out and placed them in the school's book corner.

Both woodblock printing and movable type printing became popular in Anping.

Mu Qing had just passed by the school when someone was discussing the contents of the fairy tale book:

"Princess Cinderella is so pitiful. She has been bullied by the evil queen for so long."

"I've also seen this story. Why is the queen so bad? I remember they said that queens are the mothers of the country."

"Who knows? Princess Cinderella almost lost the chance to marry the young master of a noble family because of the queen."

"Ah, didn't you see the back? It's better not to have this opportunity. Poor Cinderella."

"What happened back there?"

"You'll know when you see it."

……

Almost all the students leaving the prefectural school were discussing the fairy tale that Mu Qing had printed a few days ago.

For this story, Mu Qing moved the story framework from Grimm's Fairy Tales and Andersen's Fairy Tales, but changed the story direction and characters into characters in this world.

Everyone fears the imperial power, but Mu Qing is not a person of that era. During the first class in Huang County, Mu Qing separated the imperial power from the various forces.

At that time, except for Zhuge Huaian, Shen Moyan and the people from the Mu family, the expressions of everyone else present were not good.

As time went by, Mu Qing spoke more and more, and became bolder and bolder, and the officials' acceptance level gradually increased.

This time, Mu Qing tried to introduce the authority of this world into the prefectural school in the form of a story, and the response was quite good.

Mu Qing continued to move forward while thinking. Since she wanted to open her mind, she might as well take bolder steps.

The literacy class may start with stories, mark pinyin on storybooks, and learn Chinese characters by reading stories.

Mu Qingyou still remembers that the first book with pinyin that he came into contact with when he was a child was a storybook.

The sector of education has been constantly changing. At first there was only a county school, then the factory had night schools, and then the night schools were expanded into literacy classes.

One of the teaching materials compiled from storybooks quickly caught the attention of the people in the literacy class.

Xiao Lingyao is in charge of the Guangsha literacy class.

She only taught for one day, but within a day, the first story in the storybook spread quickly throughout the surrounding streets.

And this first story is exactly the chapter "Cinderella and the Wicked Queen" in the fairy tale book in the Anping Prefecture School Book Corner.

Common people's love for gossip is almost something they are born with.

In just one village, there can be many versions of the love-hate relationship between someone and someone else.

In an era without the Internet and print media (poor people could not afford newspapers), the information ordinary people received was limited, and a family marriage or a quarrel between neighbors could set people's gossip spirits ablaze.

Not to mention the explosive gossip within the royal family.

They rarely have access to royal affairs, but that does not prevent them from making wild guesses or all sorts of outlandish speculations.

The protagonists of the first story in the story textbook written by Mu Qing are the princess and the queen.

Although Mu Qing asked the literacy class teacher to tell the people that the story was fictional, it did not hinder the people's eagerness to watch the show.

People in the streets and alleys began to gossip with each other:

"I think it's not that easy to be a princess of the royal family. Look at this Cinderella, she is so beautiful but she was framed by the queen. I think it would be better for her to be born in a peasant family."

"Of course it's not easy to be a princess. Do you think princesses are all cabbages? This queen is so evil!"

"That's right. Why are you trying to break up someone's marriage? There's a saying that goes, it's better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage."

"If my daughter had a stepmother like this, I would definitely divorce her."

"That prince consort is also a bad man. He married her but didn't treat her well. He just loved to flaunt his power. Sigh, Cinderella has a miserable life!"

"By the way, Erzhuang, have you learned a few words?"

"I know all the words like princess, queen, and firewood room."

"We have to take the exam next time. The teacher said that too many people failed, so he won't read stories to us."

"I'll go home and learn it quickly."

……

As soon as the story teaching materials were distributed, not only did the enthusiasm for learning in the literacy classes reach an unprecedented high, but the number of people who took the initiative to sign up for literacy lessons doubled compared to usual.

The story "Cinderella and the Evil Queen" written by Mu Qing is based on Cinderella.

Mu Qing changed a lot of content.

Cinderella was changed to Cinderella, and the wicked stepmother and three wicked sisters were changed to the wicked queen and the three princesses born to the queen.

This story in the story teaching material is about the evil queen who dislikes Cinderella, who is not her biological daughter, and has been abusing her since she was a child.

At a flower-viewing party (blind date meeting), in order to select princes-in-law with good character for the three princesses, the Queen designed a plan to prevent Cinderella from attending the party.
