Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

"Why do you want to run a school again?"

In Tong Ran's bedroom at night, he was sitting on the bed, the jade pendant was shining with warm light, when Chu Jun's deep voice came.

"I've been thinking about this. I was thinking about it when I made movable type printing in Zhuoyang Mansion, but there were no resources at that time." Tong Ran said.If he hadn't relied on the emperor, he wouldn't dare to say that now.

Chu Jun didn't speak for a while, probably thinking.

Educational resources in this era are very expensive, and there is no concept of compulsory education at all. Even Chu Jun needs time to understand this concept.

Tong Ran wasn't in a hurry, he slapped the little tiger's back all at once, it was fluffy and warm, and it felt particularly good.

It's a pity that the little tiger fell asleep. It always seemed to fall asleep when Chu Jun contacted him. There was no fate.Tong Ran slandered.

"Each aristocratic family has its own ethnology, and there are government schools and private schools in various places. There is no need to open more schools." Chu Jun said after consideration. Compared with the situation in neighboring countries where only nobles can read, many ordinary people and businessmen in Dacheng also Both can read and write, the situation is already very good, and he doesn't think there is a need for more.

Besides, most farmers and workers do not need to read and write to make a living, so why bother?The country always needs farmers and workers.

"I mean to open more, so that ordinary people, even the poor, have the opportunity to learn to read and write. This can expand their access to information, read a lot of books, and even write down their experience in farming and working, so that they can Spread it.” Tong Ran said that it was really difficult to explain the importance of knowledge to an ancient person.

"Besides," Tong Ran paused, "Now there are quite a few people in Dacheng who have gathered the seeds of righteousness and at least have the qualifications to be officials, but they can't even read and write application documents. It is unfair to these people to continue the life of their ancestors, and it is also a loss of talent to the court."

Chu Jun understood this point. He had seen such people when he became a little tiger and followed Tong Ran. It was indeed a pity. If this group of people could be used, it would indeed be able to add a lot of fresh blood to Dacheng.

"On the other hand, the gentry and the wealthy can afford teachers to teach, and their children and grandchildren don't have to work hard for decades. They only need to listen to the books of sages, and they can easily gather the seeds of righteousness by following the path of self-cultivation. This is also a kind of injustice.

"Injustice cannot be completely eliminated, but it can be reduced. Giving more people the opportunity to be literate is the first step."

"Eliminate injustice, and let more poor families and even poor people become officials of Dacheng?" Chu Jun was shocked by Tong Ran's statement. He thought he was bold enough to support the poor and attack the nobles in an attempt to shake the foundation of Dacheng since the founding of the country. Ran thought further than him, he even wanted to find available people from the poor.

"It's not just officials." Tong Ran added, "There are also skilled workers, doctors, gentlemen, accountants, and even physicists, chemists, geographers, economists, inventors, and more people can read and write. Knowledge can be disseminated more widely, brainstorming, and Dacheng will continue to produce new things that promote social development."

Chu Jun had never heard of many terms that Tong Ran mentioned before, so he tried to understand them, and asked what those families meant one by one. Tong Ran explained them one by one, and Chu Jun felt as if he had glimpsed some kind of secret.

Tong Ran stroked the little tiger's head and scratched its chin. The cub was so soundly asleep that he didn't move at all.

Chu Jun was quiet for a long time, as if he needed to digest, he said after a long time: "These are also what you saw in your dreams... um, memories from previous lives?"

"Almost." Tong Ran said.

Chu Jun keenly grasped the ambiguity in his words, and asked, "Can you even dream of such an abstract thing as the benefits of running a school?"

Yo, they all use such trendy words as "abstract".

Tong Ran slandered, and then said: "It's about the same." Anyway, if he didn't go into details, Chu Jun couldn't dig his head out to have a look.

Chu Jun obviously felt his perfunctory, but didn't ask further.If you don't say it, don't say it, you have something to hide from him, don't you?I don't know how to confess this matter, Chu Jun really doesn't want to think about it.

He changed the subject and said, "Where are you going to start?"

"Start with Dunan Road first, and start with the villages under Chuzhou Prefecture. I plan to openly recruit a group of gentlemen, do training first, determine teaching materials, and then set up schools in the villages below. Wait for the experiments here to gain some experience. After that, it will be slowly promoted to the subordinate counties of Chuzhou Prefecture and other counties, and finally to the whole territory of Dacheng." Tong Ran said.

When Tong Ran said these things, what Chu Jun thought was: he wants to do so many things, when will he go back to Beijing to accompany him?After all, he is young, he is nearly [-] years old, and in a few years, he will not be dismissed as an old man?

He almost imagined the scene where he was trapped in the deep palace waiting for Tong Ran, it was so desolate.

After thinking about it, the words came out directly: "When do you plan to return to Beijing?"

Tong Ran was taken aback for a moment, the topic jumped too fast.

"Chinese New Year." Tong Ran said, if he doesn't go back for the Chinese New Year, he can't kill him?And I am also looking forward to seeing you soon.

"Well," Chu Jun knew the answer a long time ago, and he was a little disappointed. He wanted to know when Tong Ran would come back and would not leave. "You just take care of running the school. If you have any disputes, I will help you." block."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tong Ran smiled.

He lightly traced the pattern of the jade pendant with his fingertips. At this time, it was time to kiss Chu Jun, but the jade pendant was still not convenient enough.

Tong Ran was reluctant to hang up here, and Chu Jun should also be reluctant, and asked Tong Ran about his daily life, and Tong Ran also asked him about his daily life. This time, he didn't find any mistakes, so he must have eaten well.

It was not until Zishi passed that Tong Ran reluctantly broke off contact.He stuffed the jade pendant under his pillow and fell asleep.

About half an hour later, the little tiger under the quilt opened his eyes. His big, round green eyes pierced through the darkness and found Tong Ran.It approached cautiously, and the furry tiger's mouth moved up to kiss it.

Tong Ran slept soundly that night.

Early the next morning, he put on a washed-white blue round-neck gown over his satin jacket, looking like an ordinary scholar in the countryside.

"Wow!" The little tiger blocked Tong Ran at the door.

Tong Ran helplessly knelt down and said, "Zai Zai, my brother is going to Weifu for a private visit, and it's too big of a goal to take you."

"Wow." The little tiger sat down, making it clear that he would not give in.

"Brother, can I eat jerky for you?" Tong Ran took out the jerky from his arms.

The little tiger turned his head, no.It is not a tiger that can be bought by jerky, so I have to take it with me no matter what.

The carriage was speeding across the cement-paved road, and Sang Le sat outside the carriage alongside the driver, pretending to watch the rapidly receding scenery around him.

"Wow wow!" The little tiger roared again.

"You want to come with me, you have to put it on when you come." Tong Ran said.He might have grabbed the little tiger by the back of the neck again, and the tiger's roar stopped abruptly.

I don't see, I don't hear, I don't know anything.

Although it's just a little milk tiger, it has a very bad reputation. From the county magistrate's office in Xiaoguo County to the governor's office in Chuzhou Prefecture, there are countless government servants with paint on their faces and arms because of it. Most of the cases are because they want to stroke its fur.

Sang Le never dared to touch it casually. As for today... Mr. Tong's thing, the tiger obviously doesn't like it.

"Wow!" The little tiger waved its front paws wildly, trying to escape again.

Tong Ran clamped it to his chest, and a small silk cloak was forcibly tied around his furry neck, and his head was also covered by the hood.

"Wow!" The little tiger shook his head violently.

"Zai Zai is obedient, put on your cloak so that no one will recognize you, brother has business to do today." Tong Ran hugged it to coax him, but with righteousness, his arms tightly wrapped around him like steel.

"Wow!" The little tiger glared at him with big, round green eyes.Of course it’s okay to wear a cape to cover up, but why is this batch of pink?It is obviously a mighty little male tiger!

Tong Ran must have done it on purpose.

premeditated.

Otherwise, how could there be a cloak for tigers in the governor's office?Still satin.

"My lord, the village is ahead, do you want to get out of the car now?" Sang Le opened the curtain and asked Tong Ran.

The guard posts under the Chuzhou government have been spread out, and Tong Ran said that he would come to listen to the feedback from the villagers, so he came here subduedly for the authenticity of the feedback.Today they used a low-key one-horse carriage, but to be on the safe side, it's better not to enter the village.

"Yeah." Tong Ran picked up the sulking little tiger, put on its hood, and with the tiger's head facing his arms, he coaxed him in a low voice and got out of the car.

After Tong Ran got off the car, Sang Le and the others turned to park in a hidden place.

Tong Ran carried the little tiger to the village.

He is no stranger to such a village, after all, he has often dealt with the local villagers since Xiaoguo County.The villages around Chuzhou Prefecture are richer than Xiaoguo County, but the lifestyle of working at sunrise and resting at sunset has not changed.

If he went to the fields at this moment, the peasants would definitely not have time to talk to him.So he carried the little tiger to a mill in the middle of the village.

The village is called Ear Village, and it is said that it got its name because the shape of the village resembles an ear.

The mill in Ear Village is more particular, it is a house with walls on all sides, there is a waterwheel outside, and the mill inside is hydraulic.Because of the water passing by, many women washing clothes gathered here.

Tong Ran hugged the little tiger and squatted beside the woman to wash the tiger's paws. They quickly noticed this young man who looked like a scholar.

The little tiger cooperated so well that he didn't show his head, only a little bit of white beard.

Tong Ran was handsome, with a smile on his face that was not aggressive, and the women started talking to him while they were washing their clothes.

Tong Ran asked worriedly, whether the village was safe or not, and the women immediately became interested, talking about the new guard post set up by the governor.

"A burglar came to my uncle's house yesterday. He patrolled at night when he was on guard. When the dog barked, they rushed in and caught him on the spot!"

"Yes, it's coming soon!"

"A few days ago, I caught a wild boar that destroyed the crops. The meat is delicious."

The little tiger nestled in Tong Ran's arms and listened to him chatting with people. After chatting with these wives for a while, he chatted with the people in the mill again.

After learning about it here in Er Village, he went to several other villages and got good feedback.

Walking out of a mill in another village, Tong Ran, in order to make himself less suspicious, pretended to be borrowing the mill, and came out with a basket of ground flour on his back.

"Cub, let's go back."

When the laborers in the village were walking back in the setting sun, Tong Ran went against the current and took the little tiger out of the village.

The little tiger, who had been suppressed all afternoon, stuck out his head from his arms and shouted, "Wow!"

"Don't bark." Tong Ran reminded in a low voice.

The little tiger shook his head and threw off the hood, it was almost suffocated.

Villagers passing by nearby: Why is there the roar of the tiger?And it still has a milky tiger roar.

The author has something to say: Sorry for being late, I wish you all a happy meal.

Tomorrow's update will be relatively late, probably around this time.

Thank you for your support, okay!
