So as a poor person, having a child means putting the child in a hell-mode start.

If this child were a little stupider and more numb, his life of being a beast of burden would soon pass by.

But if the child is smart, his life will be full of suffering.

She will need to spend her entire life to understand and eliminate this intergenerational injustice.

And it is very likely that they will fail in the fierce competition due to various reasons not attributable to themselves.

This is how human beings have lived from generation to generation, and there has never been any fairness.

People live to endure injustice, so some lower-class humans who are unwilling to endure this injustice choose to self-destruct.

She didn't want to have another child who would have to struggle at the bottom of society like her.

If you don't have children, you can use the money you earn to enjoy yourself and enjoy a high-quality life in your limited life.

If you don't give birth and I don't give birth, there will be rich people who will give birth to three children in four years, and this wife will give birth after the other wife does.

Human beings will never stop reproducing, and the automatic breaking of the bottom layer will not affect the development of history at all.

But why?

Xie Yiyao thought about herself at the end of the world. Was she not working hard enough? Was she not talented enough?

No!

It's because she doesn't have a strong family and a team that she can unite and trust.

At that time, everyone was in danger, and everyone was trying their best to survive, and had no time to care about others.

So, even though she tried her best, she was still squeezed out by the children of the aristocratic class, and she never entered the sacred Imperial Academy until her death.

"Feng Junyi, let's build a school in Yanjing and implement nine-year compulsory education."

Xie Yiyao looked at the bustling crowd and the smiling faces, and suddenly spoke to Feng Junyi.

She cannot completely change this unfairness, but she can at least give those who are capable and talented a chance, unlike her who has no chance at all.

In the end, he could only watch his mother and brother die in front of him, and then he himself repeated the same fate and died...

Feng Junyi's eyes lit up after hearing what Xie Yiyao said:

"I was just about to tell you about this. I see that children in your world don't have to pay tuition fees to study. I think this is a good policy that benefits the country and the people."

It is said that today's officials are selected through the imperial examination, but how many common people can actually afford to read?

Among the officials selected by the court every year, at least 10 out of 9 are from noble families and aristocratic families, and only 1 is born a commoner. Even this 1 commoner will eventually be recruited as a son-in-law by one of the noble families.

He had long wanted to change this situation. In his spare time these days, he would look at the tablet computer that Xie Yiyao gave him. He deeply felt the prosperity and advancement of the future society, and had been thinking about the importance of education.

"Okay! Let's get started! Hurry up and find Zhang Zhongdan to draft the draft. Recruit teachers! Recruit construction workers!"

Xie Yiyao made a prompt decision and decided to resolve this matter today!

She had already found a lot of construction workers, but the city of Yanjing was in ruins and needed to recruit more construction workers.

Zhang Zhong looked anxiously at Feng Junyi and Xie Yiyao who were sitting on the high seats, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"My Lord, Princess, it's not that I don't want to draft a draft, it's just that... this matter is really of great importance. Should we discuss it with the noble families and gentry in Yanjing first?"

Zhang Zhongdan did not say that he would report the matter to Emperor Wende because Yanjing was Feng Junyi's fiefdom, and he had absolute say in the selection of officials in Yanjing.

The imperial court would not interfere, but allowing common people to enter school for free would greatly increase their chances of taking the imperial examinations, which would squeeze out the places of the nobles and gentry. I'm afraid the nobles and gentry would not agree.

"This is my fiefdom, why should I discuss it with them? If they are not satisfied with my way of governing, they can get out of Yanjing City. I will not keep any of them."

Feng Junyi looked at Zhang Zhongdan with some amusement. He didn't think that he would give face to those parasites. In his eyes, those parasites had less face than ordinary people.

Why did he, knowing that the whole country was suffering from famine, just spread the news secretly and asked those who really couldn't survive to come to Yanjing?

It was because he knew that even if he sent the relief grain to various places, those who really needed the grain would not be able to get a few grains, and these nobles and gentry would do everything they could to withhold it from them.

The lives of ordinary people have nothing to do with them, they just want to make money from the national disaster!

He believed that the relief grain he had distributed to various places before would be received by the people on the first day when the nobles had not reacted, and they would find various reasons to divide and hide the grain later.

Therefore, he could only take a roundabout approach, getting these soldiers from the Xiao family to guard Yanjing, and then sending his own Black Armor Guards to transport food to various parts of the country for disaster relief.

When Feng Junyi thought about the fact that something that could have been easily solved now required so much time and effort, he didn't have a good impression of these nobles and gentry.

Fortunately, due to the popularity of coal, kangs, fire walls and stoves, people no longer suffer from the cold and save a lot of money on buying medicinal materials. Life is still bearable even if it is tight. The number of refugees is indeed decreasing.

Zhang Zhongdan looked at Feng Junyi hesitantly as if he wanted to say something.

"Almost all officials in Yanjing come from aristocratic families and gentry. If they collectively oppose, Yanjing will be in chaos."

What should we do if all officials strike up a rebellion and quit their jobs?

The affairs of Yanjing are now complicated and chaotic, and officials cannot be left behind for a moment!

"If they don't do it, there are plenty of people who will do it. Why do you think I have to use them?"

Feng Junyi remained unmoved.

Seeing Feng Junyi's firm attitude, Zhang Zhongdan didn't dare to persuade him any further and had to go and post the notice obediently.

"Jiahan! Jiahan! You can study now!"

Ma Xianyong returned home excitedly and shouted loudly before he even opened the door.

He originally wanted to take the villagers to see if there were any job openings today, and when they got there, he actually did find one: the government was recruiting a construction team to build a school.

At the beginning, he was only concerned about his reputation and did not take it seriously. After all, the school would be built for rich people to study and had nothing to do with poor people like them.

Later I heard that this school was actually meant to provide free compulsory education to all those who wanted to go to school in Yanjing City!

My God, his heart was so excited!

He didn't understand what compulsory education was, but he knew his son could go to school!

He knew that his son had always wanted to study, and he had thought about letting his son go to school.

But times were hard, and ordinary people like them could barely make ends meet, so where would they get the money to let him go to school?

Now that he finally has the opportunity, he is extremely glad that he had insisted on coming to Yanjing!

"Really! Dad, you didn't lie to me!"

Ma Jiahan rushed out of the house with a look of joy on his face!

There were two little kids following behind him, looking at Ma Xianyong expectantly.

"Dad, can we go study?"

"Yes, yes, yes! All is possible!"

Ma Xianyong's face flushed with excitement and he nodded quickly!

All of a sudden, the small courtyard was filled with children's shouts and adults' laughter.

Ma Xianyong's daughter-in-law looked at the children jumping and dancing with joy, and leaned against the door frame to wipe away her tears.

Such a great day!
