"The second one is that our county is going to open a school, and all the children in our family who are over the age of six and under the age of twelve need to enter the county school again."

The first thing I said was that although everyone was confident in their farming work, it would not be a bad thing if they could learn some skills from other masters, so when the village chief asked for it, they didn't say much.

However, when the village chief asked the children to go to school, the expressions of everyone present were different.

"Rest assured, the primary literacy school does not need everyone to issue a bundle, and our Hongchao Ministry of Education has provided special funds to solve these problems."

"Only when you go to the intermediate school and professional technical school, you will need to provide your own tuition, but this requires parents to volunteer themselves, and I will never force it."

Even if the village chief said the good news that there was no need to pay tuition, the parents present were still not so optimistic about the matter.

In their hearts, the half-grown children in the family can also do a lot of things, herding cattle and sheep, helping the family take care of housework, cooking and firewood can be worth a lot of use.

Now is the time of spring ploughing, every household has more than ten or twenty acres of fertile land to plant, everyone is idle and the labor is not enough, and now suddenly such a show, at least these people who do not have too much foresight in front of them, can not imagine the benefits behind this matter.

"That stupid guy in my family, he can't use anything to learn literacy, it's better than wasting this time!"

In the crowd, someone complained from below.

Although everyone usually has special respect for knowledgeable and scholars, when such a good thing really falls on their own children, these farmers will inevitably feel inferior and self-abandoned, thinking that all the children in the family are not reading materials, and even let them try it.

"This is the policy of my Hong Dynasty, and anyone who dares to disobey this order, my Dynasty will take back your land and stop your loans."

Wu Jiang, the young village chief who graduated from Hongtang Bengang School, is also helpless, many times for the group of people under his command, he feels in his heart that these people are sometimes really unreasonable, obviously a very good thing, but they will always be unwilling to give in for the sake of small profits, at this time he became the village chief, the biggest feeling.

"Don't try to play tricks, when you register the roster, the children in your family have already been on the roster of our school, if any family doesn't send the children to read and write, then I'm sorry, I, the village chief, will really take people to the house!"

If you want to dispel the inherent views in the hearts of the people, many times it is not enough to rely on explanation and persuasion, but this style of handling things like threats and intimidation can quickly achieve results and be accepted by the people.

"But, but the county seat is more than 100 miles away from our village, so it's not convenient for children to come and go, right?"

In the face of the Hong Dynasty's tough policies, the people could not do much in the end, only compromise, but as they had to accept this fact, they also had a little more concerns about the children at home.

"The boarding system implemented by our Hongchao School teaches for seven days every ten days, and then has a three-day holiday, and there will be a corresponding holiday when the farm is busy, so you don't need to worry too much about their affairs at school."

"And when the children in our village go to the county to study, our village committee will hire an ox cart to send the children to the school safely, so as to solve everyone's troubles and let everyone rest assured."

The stalls of the Hong Dynasty government are still too big, and all places need manpower, even in various parts of the north, they have gradually begun to recruit capable talents to join the government construction, but there are still countless salaries and positions that need manpower.

Of course, this is also related to the conditions required for government jobs in the Hong Dynasty, at least the vast majority of positions in the Hong Dynasty need to be literate and have a certain pioneering vision.

The human resources accumulated by Dayuan Island and Luzon Islands over the years have almost been exhausted by Li Tianyang of the Hong Dynasty, but it has caused the people of Dayuan Island and Luzon Islands to complain.

There is no other reason, young people who have read books naturally hope to go out and see the outside world, after all, everyone has studied hard for more than ten years and learned a stomach of cultural knowledge, and they also need a stage to put it into practice.

And their parents sent their children to study at the beginning, so that their children could have a stable and promising job, and then everyone lived with Meimei as a family, so it was okay.

It's just that now the government of the Hong Dynasty has arranged for the work of young people and cultural people to have a future, but it is necessary to travel across the ocean to work in a strange city thousands of miles away, which is the most unacceptable place for the old people who still retain the thinking of raising children and preventing old age in this era.

In the next few years, it will be impossible for the young people who come out of Dayuan Island to go home to reunite with their families, and they may even be separated by their parents and families, and there will only be more and more people who start a family outside.

As a result, the common people in Dayuan Island and Luzon, the foundation of the Hong Dynasty, inevitably had a lot of dissatisfaction with the government, and at the same time resisted their sons and daughters to work in other places.

However, with the persistence of the young people of the Hong Dynasty and the encouragement of the government, the persistence of the old people could only turn into compromise in the end, and finally hide their anger in their hearts.

But even so, the Hong Dynasty government's cultural ability is still not enough, so now in order to save educational resources, it can only use the county as a unit, gather a large number of hairy boys together, and then teach them in a unified manner.

"My daughter doesn't have to be sent to study, right? It's useless for them to read books, and the family still needs them to help out! ”

"No, the children I mentioned in the policy are not divided into men and women!"

The village chief flatly rejected a suggestion that had a lot of agreement among the crowd.

"Who says girls study hard?"

"The director of the education bureau of our county government is a woman, and the director of the county hospital is also a woman."

"In all the departments of our Hong Dynasty government, all the jobs that men can do, the women under the command of our court can also do it, and they are not bad!"

"So, don't think about making other bad ideas, the girls in the family who are old will be sent to the school with the boys!"
