I am a male god in Liyue

"primary school."

"Boss, what is elementary school?"

"It's just like a school for children, but it's bigger than a school."

"Oh."

King Daci Shu was startled, and suddenly remembered what he had said in his dream a few days ago.

Everyone was watching a movie at that time, and she felt emotional when she saw the elementary school in the movie, and compared the difference in educational opportunities between the two worlds. She also said that it would be better for Ningguang to use the money to build Qunyu Pavilion to build a school.

Of course, she was just talking at that time. After all, Liyue was Morax's territory, and Ningguang's money was earned by herself. People could spend it however they wanted, and it was not for her to dictate to others on their territory.

I didn't expect that my cousin would keep it in mind for what I just said casually, and now he is actually planning to actually do it like this out of elementary school.

What? Although my cousin always likes to bully me, he still cares about me...

With King Daci Shu thinking this, he heard Xia Zhi ask everyone.

"Zhuzi, have you ever attended school before?"

"Been there!"

"What do you learn?"

"Literate! Inazuma's writing"

"and then?"

"there is none left!"

"You only teach literacy?"

"Yes, the school teaches literacy. Oh, the teacher will also tell us the legend of Rice Wife!"

"Don't your teachers teach anything else?"

"Does the boss mean craftsmanship? The one who has to apprentice himself to a master, give gifts, and be an apprentice for several years can secretly learn the skills!"

"...I understand, what about you, Ying'er? Have you ever attended school before?"

"No, I didn't even have enough to eat before. How could I have the chance to go to school?"

"Is that so, where is Miss Akabane?"

"When I was here, Liyue was in chaos..."

"I understand, where is Qiqi?"

"Neither did I. My family was poor when I was a child, so I had to go to the mountains to collect herbs to supplement my family's income."

Diona went to the Adventurers Association to issue a commission and has not come back yet. I don’t know what Mondstadt’s education environment is yet, but judging from her confused look, I’m afraid it won’t be much better.

As for Shen He, she never went to school. Her family was ruined when she was a child. She was adopted by Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng and received careful instruction under her sect.

Xia Zhi nodded and said: "Everyone has not gone to school for various reasons, which is also a pity. From this point of view, it is still necessary to establish a school. I don't know the 2000 million in this card." Is it enough."

"This much is definitely enough."

"It's hard to say. Land costs money, construction costs money, hiring teachers also costs money. There are so many places where money is needed."

"There will still be tuition fees."

"No, this one doesn't."

"what?"

"My purpose in establishing the school is to allow children with poor conditions in Liyue to obtain certain educational opportunities, so enrollment will be free."

"!"

"This is just an idea for the time being. I'll think about it carefully. Oh, by the way, cousin, you have nothing to do today and Saturday, so help me draw a design of the school first."

"Row."

Xia Zhi sat at the table, thinking about some issues alone. King Daci Shu took out a pen and paper and began to draw pictures with great interest.

After a while, Diona came back happily from outside holding two thick books.

"I'm back!"

"Ah."

After saying hello, Diona found that the atmosphere in the store seemed a bit too quiet.

what happened?

Maomao was a little curious. She glanced at the boss sitting over there and asked in a low voice: "Senior Zhuzi, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the boss is planning to open a school."

"Huh? School?"

"that is……"

After listening to Zhuzi's explanation, Maomao probably understood.

"Oh."

"What book is this in your hand?"

"A book about how to make wine."

"No wonder it has the word Mond on it. It's so thick that it will take a long time to read it."

"I will try my best to read it and make the best wine in the world from now on!"

In the afternoon, Ningguang came to the store with another secretary, Bai Xiao.

While Xia Zhi was massaging Ning Guang, he told her about school.

"Oh? Why does Mr. Xia suddenly want to open a school?"

"The main reason is that I want to do something practical for Liyue."

"Mr. Xia is willing to do so."

"This money was originally taken from Liyue, so it is normal to use it in Liyue. Moreover, mahjong is considered gambling. In a sense, this money is also considered ill-gotten wealth. It would be better to use it for public undertakings."

"Mr. Xia is very righteous."

“I just don’t know if the money is enough.”

"Enough."

"is it?"

"Well, I have funded some schools myself and have some experience in this matter. Mr. Xia is the right person to ask me."

"Miss Ningguang turns out to attach so much importance to education issues..."

"What? Do you think that in Mr. Xia's eyes, I am just a woman who only knows how to make money?"

"Cough, no."

"At that time, I walked barefoot from Yaoguangtan to Liyue. I suffered a lot along the way. Therefore, I also fully understand how difficult it is for ordinary children to get ahead in this world..."

Ning Guang's tone was a bit sad.

"I learned a word from Miss Xia Ci these days, which is called monopoly. Nowadays, the knowledge in Liyue is in a state of monopoly by the upper class. I tried to break it, but I later found out that it was not me who founded some Simple problems that can be solved in school.”

"really."

"Mr. Xia, do you have any ideas?"

"Takami can't say, but I can discuss it with Miss Ningguang."

"Please say!"

“Knowledge cannot be spread, in the final analysis, it is because the cost of the carrier is too high.”

"A book?"

"Well, to be precise, it's paper."

"Paper is really expensive."

"So if we want knowledge to be spread freely, the first point is to keep the price of paper down to a point where ordinary people can buy it at will without feeling distressed."

"It's difficult. I also have a paper mill, which mainly provides official paper for Yuehai Pavilion. However, the paper output can only be so much every month. Sometimes there are many things and there is not enough paper. We still need to find private sources. of paper mills to buy.”

“It’s a process issue in papermaking.”

"Yes."

“Is this true in other countries as well?”

"Absolutely. Only Fontaine's papermaking process seems to have been improved, and unique new energy is used in the production process. Therefore, the output is huge, making Fontaine's paper very cheap, and it can even be used to create various newspapers. .And the solstice..."

"Is that so, so if Liyue wants to do this, it also needs to improve its papermaking process."

"Yes, I have already asked the technical staff of the paper mill to develop new processes, but there has been no progress. Fontaine also sent people, but no useful information was obtained."

Ning Guang was a little helpless.

It was obvious that she had put a lot of thought into this matter.

Xia Zhi chuckled lightly, stretched out his hand and pressed her forehead.

"Miss Ningguang, don't worry."

"Oh?"

"I happen to know a little bit about papermaking, maybe I can help you."

"what!"

"Miss Ningguang, don't you believe it?"

"No! No! Of course I believe what Mr. Xia said!"

"Out of curiosity, I have studied this matter before and got some results. I will sort it out in the evening and give them to you when you come over tomorrow."

"it is good!"

"When the new papermaking process comes out, if nothing unexpected happens, the price of paper will drop significantly. Then, the first problem we just mentioned, the carrier of knowledge, will be successfully solved."

"If it is true as Mr. Xia said, it is a great blessing for Liyue that people can buy books at will."

"Miss Ningguang, things are not that simple. There is a second problem, the source of knowledge, that needs to be solved. I asked everyone in the store today and found that only Zhuzi and Diona went to school, but the teachers in the school It will only teach them some words, but other than that, it will not teach them any other knowledge."

"But this is how the school is..."

"So, what I want to establish is not a school, but a school, a place that can teach students more knowledge."

"School?"

Ning Guang looked slightly stunned. She had just heard Xia Zhi mention school. Although it was not the same word as school, she still thought it was something similar to school and didn't think about it in detail.

"The reason why the teachers in the school only teach students writing and not other knowledge is not that the teachers are unwilling to teach, but that they are unable to teach. Firstly, it is because they themselves do not have the knowledge reserve. Secondly, Because there is a lack of a complete knowledge system.”

"What does Mr. Xia mean?"

"So, we still need to create teaching materials."

"Textbooks?"

"It is a kind of book specially used for children to learn. The knowledge in it should be shallow and interesting, so that children are willing to learn, able to understand, and know how to apply it."

"Mr. Xia, do you have any predictions?"

"Well, I thought about it carefully today and I have some ideas for the time being. The first is the most basic literacy. The traditional method is for the teacher to teach you character by character on the stage. It is too rigid. It is better to introduce auxiliary sounds."

"What is auxiliary sound?"

"It's hard to say this now. I'll wait until my cousin gets it out later and I'll ask her to show it to you."

"Oh!"

"In addition, I plan to ask Mr. Zhongli to compile a Liyue history textbook. History is inherited by a country and should not be forgotten."

"Well, Mr. Zhongli is very knowledgeable and knows the history of Liyue very well, so he is indeed suitable for this matter."

"I am going to ask Dr. Baizhu to compile a medical knowledge textbook to prevent diseases and treat minor injuries. Today, the health level in Liyue is still very low, and the level of pharmacists varies. Many people, especially children, are weak and cannot afford to see the doctor. If the disease cannot be treated well, it is often delayed, and eventually it becomes a serious illness. If medical knowledge can be popularized and various diseases can be prevented, the disease and mortality rate of Liyue's population will also be reduced."

"What Mr. Xia said is absolutely true!"

"I'm also going to ask Miss Ningguang to write a mathematics textbook."
