The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 104 Founding a School
Although Song Wei had already spoken, he still couldn't stop the surprise of the servants.

Do you still look at the cook when you are eating?

Especially after eating a dish, I will be astonished. This meal is really made by the chef.

It was simply the best meal they had ever had in their lives.

But Song Wei was extremely calm and ate slowly.

This is also the day he eats the most.

After eating and drinking enough, the servants still couldn't believe it.

He left with a satisfied and astonished expression on his face.

Song Wei also left and returned to his room, so he doesn't have to worry about getting food in the future, which naturally makes people feel happy.

After returning to the room, Song Wei also ate a few desserts.

At this time, there was a knock on Song Wei's door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Cai Hu walked into the room.

"grown ups."

Song Wei nodded: "You came just in time, I have other things to tell you."

Cai Hu nodded.

"How many literate people are there in Zhen'an County?"

Song Wei asked.

Cai Hu was stunned and scratched his head: "My lord, the population of Zhen'an County is 10,000+, I'm afraid this cannot be counted specifically."

"If you talk about literacy, I'm afraid more than [-]% of the people in the city are illiterate. Those who can read are only some businessmen and some outsiders in the city. Ordinary people can't afford the monthly fee, and they can't read and can only do some simple arithmetic."

Cai Hu said with some embarrassment.

Song Wei nodded, he also expected this.

Song Wei even felt that there were only a few literate people in the city, and [-]% of them might be a high estimate.

"What do you think if a school is established in the city?"

Song Wei said slowly.

Cai Hu was taken aback for a moment, then a little surprised, but only surprised.

"My lord, ordinary people in the city are very simple, and they may spend their whole life on farming. If a school is established in the city, no one will come, and the most educated person in the county is probably the lord, and there is no suitable candidate. Go be a teacher."

Cai Hu expressed his thoughts honestly.

Song Wei nodded.

"Is there anyone in the city you know who can read?"

Song Wei thought about it and asked.

Cai Hu thought for a while, and then said: "Yes, Xin Zimo from the north of the city, he is an old man in the city. It is said that he went to school before, but he returned to Zhen'an County without high school."

Cai Hu immediately responded that he grew up in Zhen'an County and knew many people.

"Oh?"

Song Wei was overjoyed, this might be a talent, and he might be the best candidate for his next plan.

"Cai Hu, I have a task for you."

Liu Feng beckoned for Cai Hu to get closer to him.

"My lord, please give me your instructions."

Cai Hu said respectfully.

"Go and call Xin Zimo to the county government now. I have something to tell him."

"Yes!"

Cai Hu had guessed what Song Wei was thinking when Song Wei asked himself the first question.

Without saying anything, Cai Hu left.

Song Wei was in his room, his eyes became deep.

In this era, literati can determine the rise or fall of a country.

Although a country's force is very important, literati are equally important.

And Zhao Guo is a country where both civil and military forces have advanced, especially a passage left by the emperor at that time when the sage Zhou Xi passed away.

At that time, the emperor of Zhao State was able to use all civil and military skills, which is the main reason why Zhao State has become a big country now.

And when other countries were still using bamboo slips to write, Zhao Guo invented paper.

It's just that the paper that was invented was rather rough and yellowed.

But even so, Zhao Guo invented paper, which is an epoch-making product, and paper is also one of the reasons for Zhao Guo's major changes.

But Song Wei has no way to make better paper now, because he hasn't found a plant with enough toughness yet.

Otherwise, the paper used by Song Wei is whiter and more resilient than the current paper.

Soon after, Cai Hu brought Xin Zimo to the county government office.

"My lord, Xin Zimo has already arrived."

Cai Hu said after coming to Song Wei's room.

Song Wei nodded, and then went to the room where Xin Zimo was entertained.

After pushing open the door, Song Wei looked at Xin Zimo.

One looks like he is in his 50s, and he exudes a strange temperament.

This is the difference between him and those common people.

Because he gives people the feeling that he is a literati.

After Xin Zimo saw Song Wei, he quickly knelt down: "My lord."

Song Wei quickly helped him up.

"It doesn't have to be."

"No, the adults are the county magistrates, and the villains should kneel down."

Xin Zimo said quickly.

"It doesn't have to be like this in private."

Song Wei still helped him up and said.

"My lord, I have heard about it on the way that the villain came here. Do you want the villain to start a school?"

After Xin Zimo stood up, he looked at Song Wei with burning eyes and said.

Song Wei tilted his head to look at Cai Hu next to him, but didn't say anything.

"I'm just doing what I have to do, and I need to get more literate people in Zhen'an County."

Song Wei said slowly.

"My lord, the villain is willing to help my lord and contribute to Zhen'an County."

After Xin Zimo heard Song Wei's words, his eyes became a little hot. This is what he wanted to do.

Just for some reason than didn't make it.

"It's a good thing if you want to!"

"I can help you create a school, and I can let many people go to study." Song Wei thought for a while, and then said, "Of course, I will not force others to learn to read. I will open a school at night and teach at night. Everyone can read and write, of course, it only takes an hour or two."

Song Wei knows that most people are busy running around for food and drink during the day, and only stop at night.

"My lord, this..." Xin Zimo hesitated a little. For those short-sighted commoners, he didn't think anyone would waste time coming to him to learn how to read.

Because he had made some attempts before, but unfortunately, he failed.

After that, he never mentioned this matter again, nor did he continue to establish a school.

"Don't worry, I know your concerns, I will solve this point, you just need to run the night school." Song Wei smiled mysteriously.

As long as there are more literate people, many of his plans can be carried out better. The stupid people are too easy to be instigated by others, and more literate people will produce talents, and he needs a lot of talents.

Well, in the process of teaching, he mixed some personal things, such as how great the county magistrate is, how much he has contributed to Zhen'an County, etc.

Xin Zimo opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Song Wei.

"I know it may be difficult, but you don't have to worry, I will send people to the school to study, and a large number of people will go, you just need to teach them simple literacy."

Xin Zimo looked at Song Wei's confident look, and finally nodded.

"Go back and try it out. Tonight, you can let the illiterate yamen servants in the county go there first. You just need to teach them simple literacy and some numbers."

In the end, Xin Zimo didn't know that he left the county office with a mentality.

He wanted to give it a try, this was his ideal, and now the county magistrate was added.

This time the school should be established.
