Finally, in the meeting room of Konoha Castle—

Lin Sang sat at the desk and after everyone else arrived, he took out the documents he had just written in the office and distributed them one by one.

The four people sitting there were all shocked after they took the document and began to read it carefully. Teaching civilians to read?

For a moment, the air in the conference room suddenly became silent, as if only the sound of people's breathing was left.

Uchiha Izuna looked at the document in his hand. After reading it carefully, he began to study it word by word until he had analyzed it thoroughly. His mind was full of thoughts.

After reading the document, Hashirama Senju was also shocked by Lin Sang's idea. You know, in this era, knowledge is firmly in the hands of the powerful, and the upper aristocratic class has achieved a monopoly on knowledge, so most of the civilians here are illiterate.

However, Hashirama Senju could also see that if this plan was really implemented, it would definitely have more advantages than disadvantages in the long run.

However, Hashirama Senju also believed that this news would undoubtedly offend many people once it came out. To be more precise, it might offend those who enjoyed the benefits of the monopoly of knowledge. Even ordinary people who were taught the knowledge might not accept it completely.

Senju Tobirama also saw all of this. Regarding Lin Sang's plan, he was shocked by the idea at first, and then he began to carefully think about the feasibility of this method. Finally, he concluded that at present, it was a method that had no benefits and would delay the development of the city, and might even offend many people.

But if you look at it from a long-term perspective, the benefits undoubtedly outweigh the disadvantages, and it will definitely bring unexpected development to Konoha City in the future.

Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna were in sync with each other and sighed in their hearts: It's a good plan, but it was proposed at the wrong time.

Of course, the two of them had no idea that their thoughts just now were in sync with those of their mortal enemy. If they knew, they would definitely feel disgusted with each other.

As for Uchiha Madara, he can be said to be the least politically sensitive person present, or he simply does not care about these things. Of course, Uchiha Madara obviously sees the benefits of this plan. For him, as long as there are benefits, it can be implemented. If there are any obstacles, he will cut them off one by one!

At this moment, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama had the same idea, but unlike Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama saw both the pros and cons. However, as long as the plan was ultimately beneficial, he would do it anyway, but would take relatively mild measures.

......

-------------------

Lin Sang carefully examined the expressions of the other four people present.

Well, I can't see anything.

How can you tell what someone is thinking from his expression and eyes? It’s incredible to think about it. Anyway, he can’t tell.

In fact, regarding the plan of only teaching civilians to read and write, Lin Sang himself did not have much hope in his heart, because this plan seemed to be more suitable for the later stage. They needed manpower in the early stage. If they all learned to read and write, then what was the purpose of recruiting civilians in the first place?

Isn't it just for labor?

But if this plan is implemented, although it will be very hard in the early stages, there will definitely be huge benefits in the later stages. Of course, this is not absolute, and Lin Sang cannot guarantee 100% that no one will choose to leave Konoha City in the future, accept benefits from other nobles, and leave here.

After all, if one can read, one will definitely have his own ideas. Lin Sang can clearly feel that this is a double-edged sword with infinite possibilities, both good and bad.

Lin Sang's current thought is that you can't stop others from pursuing a better life...

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Sang considered for a while and finally spoke: "What do you think of this plan?"

Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna spoke at the same time: "It's a good plan, but..."

Before he could finish his words, Uchiha Izuna rolled his eyes at Senju Tobirama, who snorted coldly.

Senju Hashirama: "......"

Uchiha Madara: "..."

Lin Sang: "...calm down."

But don't tear down the conference room.

In fact, this conference room had actually been destroyed because of a few people's heated discussions. It didn't happen once or twice, but happened frequently. Lin Sang sometimes saw them slamming the table like slapping tofu, and with one slap, a brand new table was gone.

Of course, if it was just the table, it would be fine. Sometimes it would even damage the surrounding environment. Senju Hashirama would sometimes use Wood Release to repair it, and as time went by, the conference room became harder. Now it will break tables and glass. It is really cause for celebration.

As Lin Sang was thinking about it, his expression suddenly froze. This, this is actually also a fiscal expenditure. I just don't know what the details are... No, I must take a closer look when I go back!

Lin Sang shifted his gaze to Senju Hashirama, and asked him to make a few wood escape tables so that they would not break down...

Lin Sang's thoughts kept wandering. When he came back to his senses, he noticed that they seemed to have the idea of ​​slamming the table again, so he quickly changed the subject: "I think everyone has discussed it enough. Tell us your opinions..."

After hearing what Lin Sang said, the others calmed down a little.

Uchiha Izuna said: "I am currently against this plan. Although it has more advantages than disadvantages in the long run, we must also consider the present. We are short of manpower right now. If all the civilians we recruit go to study, I am afraid that they will not only fail to play their original role, but will increase our current burden."

After Uchiha Izuna finished speaking, Senju Hashirama also spoke up: "I think this plan should be implemented. I also know what Izuna said just now, but should we give up easily because of the difficulties we are facing? Is it really worth it?"

"If we give up halfway just because of the difficulties we are facing now, no, just like that... we don't even dare to start. I know it may be very hard to persevere, but once we overcome the current difficulties, our descendants and the future will have a brighter future."

Senju Hashirama's words were naturally provocative. He had a natural romantic nature, and everyone present relaxed when they heard his words.

After Lin Sang came to his senses, he always looked at Senju Hashirama with a strange expression.

I really can't tell, it's such a shame that Hashirama Senju didn't become a lecturer.
