After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

"That makes sense! Even knowing a few more characters is good! The first batch of people who participated in the literacy experimental class came back and said that pinyin is not difficult, just like drawing, as long as you know the dozens of pinyin What does it look like? You can read all the words. No matter how stupid you are, wouldn't it be better if you practice it a few more times?"

"Isn't that right? A few days ago, Aunt Zhao in Xiaoshui Alley in the east was in her fifties. She had never known a single Chinese character in her life. She was caught as a model and went to that literacy experimental class. Good girl, it is said that she is now stuttering. Not even a single person can read a thousand-character essay!"

"Is it really that magical?"

"Really, if you don't believe me, go find Aunt Zhao at the entrance of the alley."

Wang Sanniang smiled: "No need to look for it. Aunt Zhao is now our substitute teacher for Class 2. With a salary of 50 yuan a day, she might even become your teacher!"

There was a gasp from the crowd.

Wang Sanniang saw the different expressions on everyone's faces, and she couldn't help but deeply admire the city lord's foresight.

There are cultural classes in the military camp. Wang Sanniang had already taken the elementary course when she first entered the camp, and is now taking an intermediate course. Therefore, she knows how practical and easy Pinyin and four arithmetic operations are for ordinary people.

If we force everyone to take the course from the beginning, it will definitely arouse everyone's resentment. Therefore, the Xu family's government affairs team decided to hold an experimental class first after discussion.

The teacher of this experimental class was also chosen very carefully. The teacher is Xu Anping, who lives in the fourth room of the Xu family. Other courses such as military thinking, war psychology, investigation elements, etc. are taught by the city lord himself!

As for the candidates for the experimental class, it was even more shocking.

At first, Wang Sanniang didn't understand why the experimental class didn't just recruit scholars who had a certain foundation and could at least read and write, but instead chose from ordinary people in the city, such as boatmen on the moat, coolies on the pier, aunts in the alleys, etc. A handyman who pours night fragrance.

At this moment, Wang Sanniang understood everything.

As for the so-called education for all, why did she subconsciously think that scholars are considered citizens?

Who are the other common people?

Especially the people at the bottom, who are they?

Are they not considered human beings? They never express their needs. The voices of all sentient beings are never heard in this world. Their voices are drowned, ignored, or even not allowed.

What is allowed is oppression, exploitation, labor, and taxation to fully drain every ounce of value from them.

They don't even know the words, how can you make your own voice?

They are like an island abandoned by the world.

When Xu Zhenying came to class and talked about these topics, although Wang Sanniang didn't show it on the surface, she was extremely resistant in her heart.

She came from a well-off family since she was a child. Although she was not well-off, she was at least comfortable with food and clothing. This was the wealth accumulated by her ancestors for generations.

How can we say that everything she has is derived from exploiting others?

But now looking at the eager eyes in front of her, Wang Sanniang couldn't help but have serious doubts about her own outlook on life.

Xu Zhenying once asked them in class why the people of the Zhou Dynasty could only live a life of barely surviving and without dignity even though they were already very hardworking.

My father worked hard for a day, but he could still earn dozens of taels.

But as for them, they worked in the fields from morning to night, their waists were bent, their backs could not be straightened, and in the end they were just barely able to make ends meet.

It's the same work, but why are the rewards so different?

Is this world really a pyramid structure as the city lord said? Does wealth also comply with the 28/20 rule?

"Fifty Chinese a day? Did you really study for only ten days?"

Wang Sanniang put aside the complicated thoughts in her mind, came back to her senses and said: "If it's fake, it's guaranteed. Not only that, anyone who has passed the elementary literacy class goes out to work, each person must not be less than thirty cents a day. If the price is lower than this , you can definitely report your employer, and our city lord will definitely punish you severely!"

The people cheered again, and they couldn't wait to run around to tell the good news. Thirty cash a day, which is nine hundred cash a month. If a family of three saves a little money, half a year's rations are enough!

"Then my baby is sick these days, how can I attend the first literacy class?"

"Don't rush, this class will be held every day, once every fifteen days. You can decide which class to attend according to your own time, as long as you complete your studies before the first day of March!"

"That's great!"

"Hey, that little lady!" someone called out, and the companion next to him immediately reminded him, "What little lady? The king said, he wants to call them soldiers!"

"Oh, oh, little soldier, please read this second notice. I only recognize a few words. It says one tael per month, but the king is looking for workers?"

The word "recruiting" instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The people of Lan County don't know that the king is famous for his generosity. Anyone who works for their government team is given a lot of money, the work is light, and he also takes care of a meal!

"I'll read it!" A ten-year-old child volunteered to stand up, leaned forward, and then squinted to read the pinyin above.

Someone recognized him as a student in the first experimental literacy class. This kid could read smoothly without stumbling at all, so everyone was looking forward to the literacy class.

Look at this kid, after just a few days of studying, he can actually read the notices!

Is it possible that they are not as good as Aunt Zhao, this little kid?

If they attend literacy classes, will they also be able to read and recognize words?

Everyone present had their own calculations, and the kid summed it up after reading: "The king is recruiting workers, and he wants everyone with a certain skill to apply..."

Someone immediately grabbed him: "Good boy, tell me again, what kind of person does the king want?"

"As mentioned above, carpenters, stonemasons, and blacksmiths are all suitable. Anyone who has a craft and can bear hardships and stand hard work can go to the county government office to sign up now, which will include two meals a day and one tael a month! And if you can follow the instructions Your Majesty, whoever thinks of something and achieves something will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"

"Good guy!"

"Oh... Your Majesty is really generous! I have the strength to move three hundred kilograms of heavy objects. Can I go?"

Wang Sanniang then said: "Brother, you can also try at the county government office. The city lord always does things in an eclectic way. If you really have this ability, maybe the city lord will treat you differently!"

Everyone was talking about it for a while.

At this time, on the carriage not far away, Mrs. Wang opened a corner of the curtain and watched Sanniang Wang talking among the crowd, and she couldn't help but feel proud. Seeing that it was noon, Mrs. Wang asked the maid to prepare a lunch box, and she personally passed through the crowd and handed it to Wang Sanniang.

Unexpectedly, Wang Sanniang was startled when she saw her, and almost subconsciously drew her sword at her. After seeing clearly that the person who came was her own mother, she complained: "Mom, what are you doing?!"

Mrs. Wang patted her chest with a brocade handkerchief and said, "You damn girl, I finally saw you once. I thought it was noon and I was worried that you wouldn't have eaten, so why didn't I bring you something? How dare you do this to your own mother?" Draw your sword?"

Although everyone was pointing at the content on the notice, Wang Sanniang always felt ashamed for some reason. She quickly refused, "Mom, there is food in the canteen of our military camp! I am still on a mission. You Don't make trouble, otherwise my colleagues will laugh at me when they see it!"

Mrs. Wang snorted and brushed her face with a handkerchief, "What do you think? You are my daughter. Why don't you give me a meal as a mother?"

"Mom, please stop making trouble. I'm on a mission. There are many spies in this city. What if the officer sees me and thinks that I, Wang Sanniang, am spoiled and can't bear hardships? Put your things away quickly. I will take a rest the next day. Wait for me to rest. I will definitely come to say hello to you on the day of Mu!"

"No need to be in a hurry, just take one bite. Mom prepared the sweet-scented osmanthus cake for you. You can take a bite quietly so no one can see it!"

While the mother and daughter were pulling, they heard the communications soldiers in the camp shouting Wang Sanniang's name.

"Wang Sanniang, the city lord has an order and orders you to go to the county government office to attend the meeting as soon as possible!"

Wang Sanniang was a little shocked, "You're looking for me, are you sure?" "That's right, Wang Sanniang, the captain of the second brigade of the female soldier training camp, is that you?"

"Yes, it's me."

"That's it, act quickly and don't keep the city lord waiting!"

Mrs. Wang's impression of Xu Zhenying was still that of killing the Chen family when she first entered the city, so she held Xu Sanniang's hand with some anxiety, "Son, have you gotten into some trouble?"

Wang Sanniang smiled: "Mom, you heard it just now. The city lord asked me to go to a meeting."

Mrs. Wang's face softened slightly, "Since it is the king who invites you, you have to go quickly."

Mrs. Wang returned to the carriage and saw her aunt opening the curtain and looking at Sanniang Wang's retreating back. She couldn't help feeling very proud, but she sighed: "Hey, it's true that this king can't leave my Sanniang for a moment. This Not only did I entrust Sanniang with an important task, but I also sent someone to call her back. At first, everyone said that it was not good for her to be a soldier, and everyone wanted to laugh at me. Now my son is considered the number one person in Lan County. , some people are afraid that their teeth will be sore."

The aunt secretly rolled her eyes and sneered in her heart, thinking that it would not matter if Wang Sanniang was reused again. A group of grasshoppers would not be able to jump around for a few days after the autumn.

If someone from the court comes to suppress the bandits, it will be up to her to see how Wang Sanniang ends up.

However, the aunt didn't show it on her face. She followed Mrs. Wang's words and said that she was sincere in her praise: "That's right. Who said women are inferior to men? I see the third girl's current demeanor, even the master has to look at her differently. It’s divided.”

Needless to say, Mrs. Wang was in a very happy mood after receiving such flattery.

Although Wang Sanniang comforted her mother, she was still worried in her heart. Although the city lord often came to give them lessons from time to time in the evening, it was just a lesson, and there was never any private communication.

Furthermore, as a team leader, how could she be qualified to attend government team meetings?

While Wang Sanniang was rushing to the county government office, she was going through it in her mind, but she couldn't figure out the clue.

When they arrived at the county government office, the guards registered and introduced them. As soon as Wang Sanniang saw the people attending today's meeting, she knew that the matter was not trivial.

The political affairs team of the Xu family was basically all here. The room was silent at the moment. Xu Zhenying was sitting on the main seat with his head lowered and he was reading some materials. He didn't seem to see her come in.

Wang Sanniang stood at the door, looking at the dark crowd of heads. She didn't know where to sit for a moment. Fortunately, she met Zhou Bo, a familiar face from the male soldier.

Zhou Bo sat in the corner and waved to her, "This way!"

Wang Sanniang was even more shocked. It turned out that there were also people from the male soldiers attending the meeting.

Also, the city lord has always been fair-minded and never favored one over the other. Since it involves military affairs, it is certain that both male and female soldiers will not be left behind.

However, as soon as Wang Sanniang sat down, she heard Xu Zhenying shouting: "Where are the representatives of the male and female soldiers, are they here?"

Wang Sanniang's scalp tightened, and she quickly stood up and performed a standard military salute: "City Lord, the female soldier has arrived on behalf of Wang Sanniang!"

"The male soldier representative Zhou Bo has arrived!"

Xu Zhenying looked at the two slightly mature leeks with a smile, with admiration on her face. She opened a pile of information and said: "Wang Sanniang, Zhou Bo, you two have the first place in the comprehensive performance of culture and training in this competition." , it just so happens that Feng'er and Da Zhuang have gone south. Considering your excellent performance, I will promote you to the first level. I am the general instructor for the female soldiers, and Wang Sanniang is the deputy instructor. The number of male soldiers is five times that of the female soldiers, so After setting up a sergeant and three officers, Zhou Bo, you will take Da Zhuang's position. The new personnel order will arrive soon and will be posted at the entrance of the military camp."

Wang Sanniang and Zhou Bo both looked shocked.

Why was he suddenly promoted?

Was the vigorous competition in the relationship a few days ago just to fill this gap?

Wang Sanniang felt as if she had been hit hard by a pie. She was so happy that she couldn't control herself.

These two positions are really exquisite.

Although Wang Sanniang had few people in charge, Xu Zhenying was busy with government affairs, which was equivalent to Wang Sanniang's sole responsibility for female soldiers. As for Zhou Bo, although he is one of the three deputies, his power is much greater than that of Sanniang.

It was too late for the two of them to analyze the meaning of Xu Zhenying's step, because Xu Zhenying said immediately: "You two went to help as publicists for a long time today and report the situation."

Being asked this suddenly, Wang Sanniang hurriedly made a mental draft.

She had never spoken in front of so many people, not to mention that the people sitting in this room were all the elites of the Xu family. These people were all very smart. If she said something wrong, it would be ridiculous.

But after all, she was a soldier. Although she had only been a soldier for more than two months, Wang Sanniang's psychological quality was far superior to others. She thought about it in her mind and was about to speak, but Zhou Bo had already answered first: " City Lord, the people are very supportive of the work of universal education, and most of their words praise the City Lord's benevolent actions. I believe that when the literacy class starts in three days, the number of places for these students will surely exceed demand."

Wang Sanniang was beaten first, but she was not in a hurry.

Xu Zhenying came to the military camp to teach many times. Wang Sanniang naturally knew that Xu Zhenying was a person who did not like flattery.

After Zhou Bo said this, although Xu Zhenying's face did not show it, Wang Sanniang was still keenly aware that Xu Zhenying was not very satisfied with Zhou Bo's answer.

So Wang Sanniang slowly added: "The city lord is indeed a benevolent act, but for the common people, they are more worried about whether they can keep up with the fifteen-day course, whether they can pass the final exam, and whether they will affect their employment if they are delayed in completing the course. . According to my observation, most people are in a wait-and-see attitude towards education for all. The city owner might as well hold a second phase of the experimental class this time, so that more people can see the benefits after completing the literacy class, and this will surely fully mobilize their enthusiasm for participation. "

Xu Zhenying couldn't help but take a deep look at Wang Sanniang.

Wang Sanniang was a little panicked by her sight. She suppressed her nervousness and continued: "Secondly, since the city lord wants to promote education for all, does he still have to go out of Lan County and go down to the villages? If so, he will let the people in the villages Should people come to Lan County, or should they send teachers down? If you send teachers down, people in the village may not listen to the teachers. But if you let the villagers come up, production will inevitably be delayed."

Wang Sanniang felt that she had never said so many words in her life, and her mouth felt dry for a moment.

Zhou Bo on one side kept staring at her, seemingly thoughtful.

Xu Zhenying smiled: "You said it very well. Education for All was originally planned to be promoted in Lan County. Once the people in Lan County learn it, there will naturally be a steady stream of teachers. As for how to get to the grassroots level in the villages, this plan is currently It is also under discussion. But you can see this, which proves that you are thinking, which is very good!"

Wang Sanniang's face was slightly red, and she imitated her father and spoke in an official tone: "It's all the city lord who has taught me well."

"There's no need to say polite words, it's a waste of time." Xu Zhenying patted the table, and everyone looked up at her, "Now that you have received your duties, you have to work harder than before. It's spring, the weather is getting warmer, and there's ice and snow on the road. It has also melted, we have to make some big moves! We have to start dividing the fields!"

Xu Yinxi's voice sounded faintly: "There is no need to delay this matter. Otherwise, the refugees will have no land and never feel like home, let alone a sense of belonging. I suggest that we wait for the first batch of literacy class students to graduate and then immediately pull them out to work." Survey. Since we want to divide the land, we must first understand the condition of the land."

Ming Xiaoshuang said: "There are two groups of people for this time. One group of people will lead some people to Ye County. Everything is ready there, so the field distribution will definitely go quickly. One group of people have to measure Ye County and Lan County. The land between counties depends on which land can be used for farming, where there is water, and where is suitable for building houses. The second group needs a lot of manpower, and people from literacy classes can just take over."

This was the first time for Wang Sanniang to participate in such a high-profile meeting, and she felt that her brain could not keep up.

Didn’t they all go to Ye County to divide their fields?

Why do you think they have to set aside a piece of land in the middle of Ye County and Lan County to open up wasteland?

Although she was full of questions, Wang Sanniang was new to the country and naturally she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

But Wang Sanniang had a gut feeling that the city lord's promotion of their positions at this moment must be related to the matter of dividing the fields.

Sure enough, Xu Zhenying said: "In that case, Mo Jinchun, you lead the team, Wang Sanniang and Zhou Bo each select 20 people, and go to Ye County to organize the distribution of fields. How to distribute and how much to distribute are two big issues. You must do it "Fairness and openness are the four words, and we try to satisfy the majority of people. If we encounter someone who is tricky and weird, we must also explain the reasons to the people, and don't let the people think that we are biased or targeting anyone."
