After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

Zheng Xuan was somewhat surprised, but in the end he just sighed and shook his head with a smile.

He saw the agricultural sciences, and Miss Zhu even said that a certain agricultural university had tens of thousands of students, plus scholars of all ages, which would amount to at least a million.

In just one year, the number of applicants for agricultural science graduate programs reached tens of thousands. Oh, Zhu Qinggu also mentioned graduate and doctoral students from undergraduate level upwards.

They also talked about professors, academicians, and so on.

These are the leading figures in this type of research, and they can bring about a leap forward in the nation's strength.

……

Ying Zheng never imagined that the education system of later generations would be like this, and that there would be hundreds of thousands of people studying agricultural science. With the increasing number of people applying for this major every year, hundreds of thousands of new agricultural research talents will be added every year!

Later generations even had nine years of compulsory education, giving every child the opportunity to go to school. It was precisely because of this that a large population base fostered a great number of talented individuals.

However, he only had a hundred or so disciples who studied how to increase grain production, and he had oversimplified many of the problems.

But Ying Zheng still had to do it. He knew very well that if he didn't start, he would have nothing.

Only by starting and putting in the effort can there still be a sliver of hope.

Besides Ying Zheng, other emperors under the heavens also sent people to study how to increase grain production. Hearing what Zhu Qinggu said at this moment, they also felt that they had thought too simply.

Some people choose to give up, preferring to use the seeds for war or pleasure. After all, developing such a method is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it requires a lot of time and energy. Who knows, maybe one day the sky will allow the purchase of seeds?

Emperor Chongzhen shared the same thought. He was exhausted and felt unsafe even sleeping in the palace. Every penny had to be spent wisely.

As for pleasure... there are plenty of monarchs who indulge in pleasure.

People like Li Cui and Li Cunxu.

This world belongs to them, but the people are not their people. What do the lives and deaths of the people have to do with them?

Once Zhu Qinggu started talking, he seemed to become quite talkative, which shows that he has improved his skills over this period of time.

After answering Zheng Xuan's question, Zhu Qinggu realized that he had gone over time again, which was something he couldn't help.

"This question requires a lot of information, and we've gone over time. We can't answer the next person's question either, so let's meet again next time!" Zhu Qinggu waved to them.

Seeing that there were people cosplaying historical figures chatting with their cosplay juniors or siblings in the live stream chat, I first packed up some things, and after they were almost done, I clicked to close the stream.

The sky disappeared.

Every live broadcast on Tianmu, or every topic mentioned in the comments, indirectly impacted many people from ancient times.

This time is no different.

The three questions about the Olympics, the difficult fate of the nation, or the current learning content, subject system, nine-year compulsory education, etc., each of these things shocked the ancients.

Even if they wanted to help, the passage of time prevented them from doing so. All they could do was marvel day and night at how this nation and country had been able to stand up again and again!

They seemed to have unconsciously sensed the power of the word 'civilization'.

Xin Qiji was moved by this and wrote a poem. If the Song Dynasty could have done the same, it would have been great to recover lost territory. Now that the curtain has fallen, will things have changed?

Will it turn into the epic Battle of Yamen that the comments on the live stream mentioned?

Qiu Ying then painted a picture, and Liu Changchun's face appeared prominently in the sky under his brush. Such a patriot, it's a pity that I couldn't fully capture that kind of tragic grandeur in my painting.

Perhaps there will never be such tragic events again, which is a good thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang used to think that being able to read was a great thing, and that those cultured people were like the God of Literature. But after sitting in this position, he realized that it was the scholars who wanted to serve the country and cry out for justice, the scholars who wanted to fight for power and profit, and the scholars who wanted to embezzle money, form cliques and engage in private activities.

Looking back now, Zhu realizes it was because there were a few bad apples. There are so many scholars in the world, why would he be afraid of not being able to find an official?

But after listening to Zhu Qinggu's words, Old Zhu realized that no matter how many county schools he set up, it seemed like he was only making a small fuss. If there were enough scholars, they could not only become officials, but also do other things.

There are also issues concerning artisan households and military households, as well as the Ming Dynasty's taxation and the Great Ming Treasure Notes. These are all matters that urgently need to be addressed.

After the broadcast ended, Ying Zheng did not return to the palace for a long time. Instead, he used a pen to write down those simplified Chinese characters in a clear and accurate manner on a piece of paper.

The attendant quickly presented a booklet containing the current simplified Chinese characters.

Bookbinding also appeared in the Song Dynasty, but now that paper has appeared, the Qin Dynasty, which already had paper, also began to learn the ingenuity of this binding method.

It is easy to carry, and the handwriting is neat with no blank pages.

Ying Zheng knew he was short of people, or rather, he was short of literate people.

Some simplified characters have been introduced to soldiers in the army for a short period of time. Simplified characters are indeed easier to learn. Soldiers who have only been learning to write simplified characters for a short time can already recite several poems that appear on the sky.

……

After Zhu Qinggu turned off the live stream, he shoved his computer away and left, intending to go back to his dorm and take a nap.

When she got back to her dorm, it was around 2 p.m. The afternoon competition was about to start. Her roommates were either out watching the competition or studying, while she came back to sleep.

If I don't take a nap, I'll feel especially tired at night.

But while she was taking a nap at noon, she dreamed of the same dream she always had: the earth shook and cracked, volcanic lava erupted, countless plumes of black smoke filled the sky, and a tsunami swept the globe.

Is this the apocalyptic scene from the movie "2012"?

Zhu Qinggu's consciousness was hazy in the dream, like a fleeting glance.

Suddenly, a 'ding' sound roused her from her dazed state.

She gradually emerged from her daze, as if standing in the air, looking down at everything around her where time seemed to have stood still, utterly bewildered.

Was she dreaming or in some kind of illusion? Or had she traveled through time?

Just as she was wondering and feeling that everything she was seeing was real, a voice came to her ear.

"Hello host, I am a civilization system from 2360. This is not a dream, but a vision of the future, and this apocalyptic scene is stored in my storage."

Zhu Qinggu: "???"

Zhu Qinggu: "!!!"

She's probably still dreaming.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly woke up in bed, her eyes wide open, panting, her forehead covered in cold sweat, like a fish out of water.

She pinched herself hard and finally felt the pain; it must still be a dream.

But then that voice in my head started talking again!
