"Fairy, how many people are there in this city?"

After some calculations, the six people quickly asked their questions.

Wuyou didn't even think about it: "Our city is not particularly big. The urban population should be less than 500 million. This is the number from the last census. It's really unclear how many there are now."

"Census?"

This is another very unfamiliar word.

"Yes, census." Wuyou nodded, and then explained what the census was and its significance.

"With a scientific and systematic census, we can understand the country's population, the population of each city, the gender ratio, etc. Only by understanding these data can we formulate various plans more scientifically."

"In the last census, our country's population exceeded 14 billion..."

Her words were an understatement, but they were like thunder in the hearts of the six people.

A population of 14 billion, that is, 14 million people. How many people are these?

How to feed so many people?

There are still people like this who feel numb just thinking about how much manpower and material resources it takes to conduct a census.

"Is there no hiding place?"

Du Fu couldn't help but ask.

Wuyou laughed: "Are you kidding? Unless you commit a crime and hide in a place without human habitation... In fact, it is difficult for criminals to hide now. After all, we have Skynet... and in modern society, identity is required wherever you go. It proves that it is difficult to move without an ID card, but hiding? It is almost impossible."

These new terms shocked the ancients to the point of numbness.

They discovered that they knew absolutely nothing about this society.

Wuyou feels that we should spread some common sense to the ancients.

"And who wants to find trouble and become a hermit? Isn't this suicidal? In ancient times, seclusion was to avoid high taxes. People couldn't afford the taxes, so they were willing to be the kind of people without an account. But here we are It’s different. Agricultural taxes have been abolished here a long time ago. Not only do you not have to pay taxes on farming, but the state also provides subsidies. If you don’t farm, you don’t have to pay taxes as long as your income does not meet a certain standard... and we implement the Nine Under the compulsory education system, children do not have to pay tuition fees to attend primary school and junior high school..."

Wuyou said everything, and the six ancients who listened had difficulty breathing.

They think this is simply a fantasy.

Su Shi pinched himself hard. It hurt so much that it was not a dream.

He screamed in pain, and Wuyou laughed: "You didn't expect it, you will find more unimaginable things in the future."

Xun Yu had been silent before, but now he couldn't help but ask: "If this is the case, wouldn't everyone be able to read?"

Wuyou nodded: "Yes, it is said that it is a nine-year compulsory education system. In other words, studying these nine years of education is the obligation of our citizens."

The ancients also understood what the word obligation meant.

However, reading has become an obligation for everyone, which is simply beyond the imagination of the ancients.

Xun Yu made quick calculations in his mind. Each of the 14 million people needed to study, and it would take at least nine years of study. In this case... eh...

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "How many talents will we need?"

Wuyou was very proud when he heard this and puffed up his chest: "Isn't that right? There are too many talents. There are more than 1000 million university graduates every year..."

“After completing the nine-year compulsory education system, you need to pass an exam to advance to higher schools. Some students go to high school to continue learning cultural knowledge. Some students go to vocational schools to learn certain skills. After three years of high school, they then pass the college entrance examination to enter university. It’s still four more years of college.”

At this time, even Zhao Yun couldn't help but start calculating: "Nine years plus three years is 12 years, plus four years is 16 years. It takes 16 years of hard study... There are more than 1000 million such people every year..."

His scalp started to feel numb again. What a talent base this must have.

Anyone like this who comes to their place will be treated as a guest by the Lord, and there are more than 1000 million of them here every year. "What are you going to learn in school?"

At this time, Li Bai also spoke.

Wuyou began to mutter: "When I was in elementary school, I learned less, which was Chinese, mathematics, and English, as well as ideological and moral character, science, music, physical education, art, computers, etc."

"Is that less?"

The six people were shocked again.

Wuyou hummed: "Of course it's a small amount. You'll learn more in middle school. In addition to the above, there will also be courses in history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry, and biology. High school basically has these courses, and you will learn more in college. Choose a major. After choosing a major, you will focus on studying in a certain direction."

She thought it was nothing, everyone came here like this, for the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, who didn't pass the test to death.

But to the ears of the ancients, it was like thunder.

In other words, people in this era not only need to learn arithmetic and write articles, but also have to know astronomy and geography, and know hundreds or thousands of years in advance. They also need to be able to play, sing, write and draw.There are not just one or two such people, but tens of millions of them every year. With such a large number of talents, it is no wonder that they look so prosperous and stable.

Wuyou answered the ancients' questions while driving.

The traffic jam was so severe today that it took her a long time to drive to the village in the city. She couldn't remember clearly the questions she answered along the way.

Finally arriving, Wuyou found a place to stop the car: "Okay, we're here."

A few people got out of the car, and the six ancients looked at the dilapidated building in front of them. After thinking about the places they had passed before, they felt the difference.

"Where is this?"

Wuyou led six people forward: "City Village, don't you want to know what the life of the poor is like? I'll take you to see it. Many of the people living here are migrant workers from other places because the rent is cheap. , in order to save money, many people rent here, and some whose families are not rich and cannot afford houses in new areas also stay here."

Before entering the urban village, the six ancients had already begun to imagine what civilian life here would be like.

In their imagination, there should be sewage flowing across the street, feces and urine on the streets, and a stinky smell. The people living here are not well-fed and clothed, and all of them have food.

But after actually going in, they realized that they were wrong.

The houses here look older, the streets are not wide, but a bit narrow, and there are many people coming and going. There are not many cars entering, usually small three-wheelers or electric cars.

But the streets here are not dirty, they are very clean, and there is no smell.

The people here are in a hurry, but their clothes are clean and tidy, and many of them have fair skin. Even if their skin is tanned, their faces are rosy, and they don't look like they are hungry because they don't have enough to eat.

Going further, there are many small restaurants on the roadside, and there are also some roadside stalls.

The aroma of food came in waves, and it smelled really delicious.

Smelling the smell, Su Shi's stomach growled again.

He sniffed and smelled the smell and went to a stall selling pancakes and fruit. He watched the stall owner spread the batter on an iron plate, and then turned it into a thin pancake, and then the stall owner poured it on top. Egg, then turn the pancake over, spread the sauce on top, add chopped green onions, turnips and fried until browned crispy, this roll looks so delicious.

Su Shi couldn't move his feet while standing in front of the stall.

Wuyou sighed helplessly.

She knew this would happen, this person was a true foodie.

I have no choice but to pamper the guests I invited.

Wuyou smiled and went over to the stall owner and said, "Six pancakes, please."

The stall owner took a look and asked with a smile: "How many eggs, do you want to add sausage..."

Before Wuyou could answer, Su Shi said loudly: "Two eggs, add intestines, add whatever you can, there's enough ingredients."
