Brother Zheng stood where he was, silently listening to the child who was probably less than ten years old recite.
The content was about the Analects of Confucius. Even though Great Qin was based on laws, Confucianism was also considered a prominent school of thought, and Brother Zheng had read it before.
Although there were some places where he stumbled and there were some places where he memorized the wrong words, what was surprising was that the child actually finished memorizing.
"Did you just recite the Analects of Confucius?"
Just as the child finished reciting, a fat uncle suddenly stood in front of him and asked.
The young man obviously had the shyness of a country boy. He did not dare to raise his head when he saw a stranger and only nodded.
"Who taught you that?" Brother Zheng asked.
It was rare for a child less than ten years old to memorize the Analects of Confucius.
"The teacher at school taught me." The child still did not dare to raise his head and only lowered his head to answer.
"School?"
Brother Zheng caught the key word again.
"What is a school?" Brother Zheng asked.
"It's a school. There are many teachers who teach us reading, writing, arithmetic, and the Qin method.”The child replied in a low voice.
Zhao Che's school in Dongbin was also tailored to the local conditions.
It was divided into three levels: small, medium, and high.
In elementary school, they had to memorize all kinds of laws, classic books, and basic arithmetic.
In middle school, they would have to start receiving some education.
The university would begin to discuss problems, usually explaining more well-known political matters and the formulation and implementation of laws.
"You know so many people at such a young age. You're really a smart child.”
Wang Jian also smiled as he came over and patted the child's head.
" No." The child was silent for a moment.
"My studies aren't good, so Master always lectures me."
"A strict teacher produces outstanding disciples!" Brother Zheng smiled.
Brother Zheng thought that the teachers in the school had high expectations.
However, this child could be considered smart to be able to do this at such a young age.
" This is summer homework," the toddler whispered.
"Da Niu and the others have already learned it long ago, but I still can't memorize it. When school starts, the teacher will scold me again.”The child said in a slightly dejected tone.
"You know how to carry someone your age?" Brother Zheng asked in surprise.
" We will. We all have to go to school and get scolded if we don't do well," the child replied in a low voice.
"Everyone has to go?" Brother Zheng asked.
The child nodded.
"During the holidays, the adults will go to class. Master said that everyone in Dongbin has to be literate. Whoever can't read won't have meat to eat during the New Year.”the child replied.
Brother Zheng opened his mouth.
Everyone can read?
This was probably Zhao Che's doing again.
The benefits of being literate were obvious.
In ancient times, there was a saying that suppressed the wisdom of the people, but it was actually wrong.
It was the aristocratic families, the nobles, and not the rulers who suppressed the wisdom of the people.
All the countries in China followed the slavery system. It was not until the Ming Dynasty's national imperial examination that normal people could see it.
As the supreme ruler of the country, he actually hoped for a society where everyone was like a dragon to appear and be born.
And the ones who stopped all this from happening were the aristocratic families and nobles, not the emperor.
Brother Zheng naturally wouldn't think that everyone being literate was a bad thing.
Because everyone could read and write, it would not harm the interests of the emperor.
On the contrary, an increase in education meant that the chances of talent being born would increase.
Therefore, Brother Zheng was very interested in Zhao Che's action of everyone being literate.
"This kid is really scheming!" Brother Zheng opened his mouth.
He could tell that Zhao Che's plan to conspire was not a simple one.
Zhao Che's policies and actions in Dongbin also represented Zhao Che's ambition.
"Hospital! School!"
Brother Zheng frowned.
One was low-cost treatment, and the other was low-cost learning.
Every step that Zhao Che took seemed to have a deeper meaning.
"Where is the school you mentioned?" Brother Zheng asked the child.
"It says Dongbin High School over there?”The child pointed in a direction.
"Let's go take a look!"
Brother Zheng was surprised by Zhao Che's ambition, but he also wanted to see what the school was about.
At first, Brother Zheng only found it interesting when he saw salt making and steel making.
However, when he connected the school and the hospital, Brother Zheng realized that Zhao Che was up to something extraordinary.
Salt making and steel making were only advancements in science and technology.
Schools and hospitals were the progress of society.
It didn't matter if Zhao Che's plan was reasonable or if it was too idealistic.
However, there was no doubt that everyone was like a dragon, and there was a cure for their illness. This was definitely what Brother Zheng wanted to see.
"If this kid has this ability, then he is not ordinary."
