Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Chapter 264 Crop Changes and Literacy

As the days passed, various matters, such as the construction of a new sergeant's base and the selection of women with better physiques to join the army and their preliminary training, were proceeding in an orderly manner.

The inn in Dihuazhou, the heavenly pavilion in the Lishajiao area, and the orphanage in the northern part of Liyue Harbor are all moving forward in unison, being built and improved bit by bit.

At the same time, at the Seven Star Conference, another major event that shocked Liyue was raised and a solution was proposed.

In recent years, there are more and more Confucian scholars, but there are only so many positions in the General Affairs Department. Even if there are some with great potential, they will not be needed if they are absorbed into the intelligence organization.

The main reason is that Confucius is a sage with unparalleled reputation, so many people go to private schools without thinking about their future, they just want to study in private schools.

There is nothing wrong with this, but at the end of the day, all the teahouses and taverns are filled with Confucian scholars from wealthy families, and those whose families can no longer support their expenses seem to have no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and find a manual job or hope to become a retainer of a wealthy family.

If this continues for a long time, it will easily lead to paralysis caused by too many personnel, so Su Ping, the military officer, once again began to worry about the civil affairs.

Su Ping said that these Confucian scholars could be sent to the countryside, and then further spread to Qingce Village and Qiaoying Village, so that everyone in Liyue could be literate and the cultural level of the people could be improved.

This idea is, of course, very beautiful, but there are many difficulties to be faced.

The first and foremost issue is whether there will be villagers willing to study in the private schools of Confucian scholars sent to the countryside. After all, except for Qingcezhuang and Qiaoyingzhuang which are relatively wealthy, people in other places may still be worried about food and clothing.

Su Ping gave his own explanation and the best solution he could think of at the moment.

“The price of 80,000 per year for a private school is not a big deal in Liyue Harbor, but for the villagers outside, it is indeed a fee squeezed out of their teeth, so I want to abolish this fee and switch to free teaching.

Of course, the many Confucian scholars who teach and answer questions can receive financial subsidies, which is also a problem that needs to be solved. As for the specific source of this money, it will be supported by the tax revenue.”

He had a deep understanding of this, as it was the same at the beginning.

The other six stars looked at each other in bewilderment. It was hard for them to disagree with this statement, but the difficulty of achieving it was still too high. And another question arose: would Confucius, the founder of the private school, agree?

Keqing was especially nervous. When she heard the idea of ​​everyone being literate, she knew that this was the first step towards a harmonious society, so while she was asking questions, she was also thinking about solutions.

Tianshuxing spoke slowly, "Everyone in Liyue is a scholar. You are not the only one who has this idea. Others have proposed it before, but it is really difficult to implement it, and it is very complicated."

Yaoguangxing nodded and said, "Indeed, farmers have been working hard in the fields for thousands of years. Now, even if they can study for free, do they have to work in the fields during the day and study at night?"

Not only will this not be effective, it will also affect your normal work and rest schedule. You're already tired from working all day, and now you have to study too. Who can stand it?

Su Ping pondered, "This is indeed a flaw, but fortunately farming is divided into stages, so there will be some leisure time. Looking to the next generation, this will not be a problem. What we can do now is to find ways to increase the yield of rice seedlings to make up for the income from other jobs during the period when we don't have to farm, so as to avoid reducing the quality of life."

"Increase the income from rice seedlings?" The Five Stars all looked puzzled, but Tianquan Ningguang was confident.

Ningguang opened her mouth and helped explain, "It is a feasible method to increase the yield of rice seedlings. Currently, there are professional scholars who have led a group of people to conduct experiments. The results will appear soon."

The other five stars looked at her like this, and then looked at Kaiyang Star Su Ping's face full of conviction, and couldn't help but think that the couple had indeed arranged their statements in advance.

Su Ping took a sip of tea to ease his dry throat, and then said: "The task of universal literacy is a long and arduous one, and it cannot be accomplished by a single stitch. So the first thing is to improve the quality of life. Once the high-yield rice seedlings are truly cultivated, the problems of the Confucian scholars can also be gradually solved."

Tianjixing asked: "In other words, there is no sign of fate at all now?"

Su Ping smiled and replied, "I am writing it down. I also want to see if the founder of the private school will agree. I think the teacher will agree."

Everyone was speechless. After all, this young Kaiyang Xing was not only extremely powerful in martial arts and extraordinary in nature, but his mentor was also the famous Confucius.

Of course, he said he would agree, and everyone believed him.

This is not because Su Ping thinks that he can successfully get the saint to give in by virtue of his close relationship, but rather that Confucius, the saint, cares about the people of the world and has the common people in his heart.

Otherwise, considering the generous conditions of the private school, one student would cost 80,000 Mora per year. Even if there were a large number of students each year, the total cost would not be that much.

To put it bluntly, the 80,000 Mora is just a peace of mind payment, which means that the person's family has a certain level of ability and is not from an extremely poor family where there is no food to eat, and can go to a private school.

This is not because Confucius despises poor people, but if you can't even have enough food at home, then why bother studying? It is the right way to farm and work to make a living.

Keqing pondered for a long time and said, "I think this method is feasible. At least there is no better choice at the moment. However, there are still some large chambers of commerce in Liyue Harbor that have not paid their taxes. We have to deal with them first."

Ningguang said slowly: "Please rest assured about this. It won't be long before no one or no organization in Liyue Harbor dares to evade taxes even a Mora!"

Her voice was not loud and she spoke very slowly, but these words coming out of her mouth, with her beautiful face and white hair, were very intimidating and could not be ignored.

Su Ping opened his mouth slightly, but in the end said nothing.

Tianshu Star, who caught this scene, immediately laughed and said, "Tianquan Star, Kaiyang Star seems to have something to say, and he looks very anxious. Don't you want to listen first?"

After being reminded by the gray-haired Tianshu star, they also noticed that Kaiyang star's expression changed just now. The look of wanting to say something but stopping, yet somewhat anxious, as if he had to say it, was hard to forget.

Su Ping looked at the old man with a dim gaze.

Tianshuxing was not afraid at all. Although the younger one was more powerful, the previous one was more majestic. After all, who would be scared of a handsome young man?

The others also laughed with their hands covering their mouths, but they weren't too excessive, or at least they didn't really laugh out loud.

Generally, after discussing serious matters, there will be some such banter, which can not only ease the mood but also bring people closer together. Since they are colleagues, it will not work if they are at odds all day long.

Ningguang's eyes turned slightly, and her sweet smile overwhelmed all the flowers. She really wanted to see how her little brother would end up, so she was not in a hurry to help and just watched the show quietly.

Under the gaze of these six people, Su Ping, with his unshakable fighting spirit, was not embarrassed at all. He just looked back and had no intention of answering.

Tianshuxing started to stir up trouble again, "Don't be silent, everyone cares about your thoughts and wants to leave the opportunity for you, you must learn to cherish it."

"No!" Su Ping looked at the mocking expression on the "old face" and felt more and more speechless. Why was it that when he was at work and showed a little concern for his wife, someone would bring it up?

Tianshu, Tianxuan and Tianji all had their eyes slightly closed. Yaoguang seemed slightly interested but was still quite reserved and didn't show it too obviously. Yuheng Keqing didn't show any change, but she was actually looking forward to it.

As one of the parties involved, Ningguang gradually became playful and wanted to hear what the little brother would say in public.

Su Ping's face was firm, he remained calm and fearless.

Ningguang looked puzzled, then smiled faintly, a little coldly.

Su Ping was suddenly frightened, and a pleading look flashed in his eyes.

Ningguang refused to give in and maintained that expression.

Su Ping's eyes flickered, and he wanted to go back and talk about it.

"That's about it, you guys are almost getting tears in your eyes." Tianshuxing was making a fuss again, like an old child.

"Yes."

"envious!"

Tianxuan and Tianji, two of the Seven Stars, also nodded in agreement.

Su Ping and Ning Guang looked at each other. The couple really responded to those words. Their eyes met, and then they kept their gazes on each other. They didn't look away, and they only had each other in their eyes.

They did this to clear their names. After all, they hadn't done anything yet, but a hat was put on their heads. How could they not do something to justify the name?

The more elegant Yaoguang Star sighed: "They are inseparable, and their love is stronger than gold."

Keqing had a smile on her face. She understood the principle of combining work and rest, and she was very happy looking at this scene.

In Ningguang's eyes, there were three parts tenderness, four parts love, and two parts shyness that others could not see. After all, she hadn't looked into the eyes of this guy for a long time, so her heartbeat inevitably quickened.

Su Ping stood still, his handsome yet resolute face showing a serious expression, as if he was a soldier who had returned home to visit his family and had not yet recovered from the relaxing environment.

"Kaiyang Star, is there any political matter?" Ningguang spoke slowly, as if they were colleagues.

Su Ping continued, "There is no national policy, no political affairs, but there is a family matter, which concerns a family of four!"

"State affairs are important."

"The country is prosperous and the family is healthy!"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Be careful... don't disturb the fetus."

Ningguang smiled, unable to help herself, and said, "It's not time yet, don't worry for now."

Su Ping wanted to say that he was worried, but he couldn't resist the other party's hint and kept silent.

The other five stars applauded continuously, expressing their gratitude and appreciation for the two people who took the lead and for this loving drama.

After the fun, the meeting will be over.

Before leaving, Yuhengxing Keqing asked, "What's the name of that professional scholar?"

"My friend, Nan Zhangsheng!"

The person who answered was Su Ping.

At this moment, far away in Liyue Harbor, a young man in blue clothes, with a handsome appearance and waist-length hair, who was leading a group of people to the fields, sneezed.
