The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Jiang Jiang's eyes were fixed on the bookshelf, Gu Yanqing suddenly asked her.

Today, this little girl is acting a little weird.

"nothing."

Jiang Jiang retracted his gaze and smiled awkwardly: "Have you read the books I gave you last time?"

"I've read them. They're pretty good." Gu Yanqing glanced at Jiang Jiang and said, "Uncle Ping said you had something to talk to me about. Could it be related to those books?"

"Not bad." Jiang Jiang nodded, and after a few seconds of mental preparation, he spoke again, "I recently...got a windfall. I feel uneasy holding that money, so I want to do something with it."

As Jiang Jiang spoke, she looked seriously at Gu Yanqing in front of her. At this moment, her big watery eyes were full of solemnity and seriousness.

"As you know, my father is a teacher. He has always refused to leave the outer city because there are so many children in the outer city who are eager to study but do not have the ability to do so."

Jiang Jiang said this, glanced at Gu Yanqing, and then continued: "So, I want to open a free college in the outer city, a compulsory education college."

"Free? Compulsory education?" Gu Yanqing was stunned and looked at Jiang Jiang with burning eyes.

"Yes! Compulsory education, free of charge. Let the children from poor families in the outer city have books to read, learn to read at home, and learn etiquette when going out."

This idea has been lingering in Jiang Jiang's mind these days.

The system has given her so many books and such good luck. It should also hope that she can bring something new to the world, right?

These ill-gotten gains from Xuehu Ridge can be put to good use.

And... this time, the incident at Blood Tiger Ridge was all settled by Gu Yanqing's men, and Jiang Jiang wanted to go with the flow and do him a favor.

Gu Yanqing has spent his entire life working for the welfare of the people of Qingyun. Jiang Jiang knows that the best way to repay Gu Yanqing's favor is to work with him to benefit the people.

"If you want to open such an academy, you will need a lot of money. Also, what you lack most is probably teachers and gentlemen." Gu Yanqing was excited in his heart, but his expression remained calm: "Scholars pride themselves on being pure and honest. Not many people are willing to associate with peddlers and hawkers."

"That's why I came to you for cooperation."

Jiang Jiang looked at Gu Yanqing expectantly. "You're a scholar, so you should know a lot of failed scholars like you, right? We can negotiate the remuneration. I don't even need a learned scholar. As long as you can teach elementary school students, I mean, as long as you can teach the simplest introductory knowledge and some miscellaneous knowledge, that will be enough."

"Beginner's knowledge?" Gu Yanqing looked at Jiang Jiang. "If it's just the simplest introductory knowledge, it's easy to find someone."

"That's good." Jiang Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"However," Gu Yanqing said again, "If you want to open a free academy, you will need to invest a huge amount of manpower and financial resources. If you only teach introductory knowledge, isn't it a bit of a waste?"

"Don't waste it, don't waste it. No one can eat a fat man in one bite, right?"

Jiang Jiang looked at Gu Yanqing with a smile.

Universal compulsory education? It is definitely not feasible in a short period of time, and Qingyun Country does not have the conditions for it.

but……

"Do you remember the spark I told you about last time? Our academy is like a newborn fire. Although small, it still shines brightly."

Jiang Jiang looked at Gu Yanqing with a little expectation.

Tinder?

Gu Yanqing felt that Jiang Jiang's metaphor was quite appropriate. Wasn't this a brand new attempt?

Perhaps the spark of reform should start from the bottom...

"Then I'll listen to you. Coincidentally, I have quite a bit of money here, so I can work with you!"

In fact, Gu Yanqing had thought about finding a way to promote the books that Jiang Jiang gave him before, but there were too many things going on in the court recently and he was busy with affairs, so he had no time to arrange this matter.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiang had thought of a plan before him.

However, this prototype of the plan still has many areas that need to be improved.

In fact, Jiang Jiang’s idea is very simple. As long as the college can be initially operated and survive the first few years, it will be much easier in the future.

"The goal I've set for the students in the academy is simple: they should be able to read and write, do arithmetic, have basic common sense, and understand propriety, righteousness, and shame! Of course, when it comes to science and miscellaneous studies, it depends on their individual strengths and talents. We can partner with some businesses in the capital, sign contracts, and provide them with specialized talent. Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that those businesses contribute a certain percentage of their funds to support the daily operations of our academy."

For positions like accountant or business manager, those excellent graduates from the college should be fully capable of doing them.

"We will also establish specialized physics and chemistry courses, prepare dedicated laboratories, and cultivate specialized talents. As the saying goes, there are top talents in every profession. Perhaps scientific research can truly change one's destiny, but this world doesn't offer only scientific research, does it?"

A truly prosperous world should be one where all flowers bloom.

Jiang Jiang's expression became a little excited when she spoke of this. "For example, my cousin's Yanlou will soon establish a dedicated new product research and development department, which will require a lot of professional talent. There's also the Ministry of Industry, which recruits many skilled craftsmen every year. Our school can even offer some agricultural courses. Don't underestimate farming. If you grow it well, it can benefit future generations for hundreds of years."

Jiang Jiang thought of the father of rice in his previous life. Many people in Qingyun Country still have insufficient food to eat. If some agricultural talents can be cultivated and current crops can be improved, then... it can be considered a benefit to the present and future generations, right?

It just so happens that the systematically improved version of "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" also has an agricultural section.

Jiang Jiang told Gu Yanqing all the superficial ideas in her mind, and then blinked her big eyes and looked at Gu Yanqing eagerly.

The man opposite was silent for a long time.

Finally, Gu Yanqing smiled at Jiang Jiang and said, "I've remembered everything you said. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the outer city. It's settled."

Once upon a time, Gu Yanqing thought that the road he was going to take was destined to be full of thorns.

Destined... there will be no future.

But now, he doesn't think so.

Because he is no longer alone on this road, even the thorns on this road seem to become soft and even fragrant at this moment.

Hmm, that fragrance, maybe it's orange.

So, is it settled?

Jiang Jiang didn't expect Gu Yanqing to agree so readily, but when she thought about how Prime Minister Gu had always been concerned about the poor students in the world, Jiang Jiang felt relieved.

Actually, it doesn’t seem so bad to follow Gu Yanqing to do big things?

[Jiang Jiang: I'm sorry, big brother. I will never call you a villain's lackey again!]

Jiang Chaosheng: ...
