One day, the people of Xinhua City suddenly saw a new decree posted in the city hall, a rare new decree issued without notice, that is, all illiterate people must be forced to participate in a compulsory literacy course.

All illiterate people must go to the adult college of Xinhua Academy at night to learn to read and write, and they cannot go or fail to learn, which is a rare dictatorial order in Xinhua City.

Of course, this dictatorial order has caused a very wide discussion in Xinhua City.

"What's wrong with the prince this time? Why do you have to be a big guy to read and write? ”

"I don't know, if you don't go to study, you can study, anyway, didn't the announcement say, you don't need money."

"The problem is that I can't read for so many years, is it still necessary to read now?"

"Of course it's necessary, now I often sign that thing called 'contract', you can't always ask me to show it to you, and the decree issued by the city hall, you can't pull me over and read it to you every time there is a new decree."

"Isn't it embarrassing to get old and trouble those 'instructors'."

"Then you're embarrassed to keep bothering me? You'd better read some books and read Braille. ”

These "contracts" and "instructors" in the mouths of the people are all newly created by Zhao Weiji, if the factions are divided according to the ancient hundred schools of thought, Zhao Weiji is a full legalist.

He didn't believe in such a thing as rule by man at all, so when the decree in Xinhua City was promulgated, he completely turned to the concept of Legalism and governing the country according to law.

And "contract" is what he made out of this concept. He has a provision in the decree that whenever the amount of business exceeds a certain amount, the buyer and the seller must sign a contract, which must contain the amount of the transaction between the buyer and the seller, the number of goods, the time and place of the transaction. There is also what kind of compensation there is if the breach of contract is or what kind of penalty there is if the goods are not right. After these stipulations, both parties must sign and draw the pledge, and then find the guarantor to sign and pledge. Finally, the contract is sent to the exchange for filing.

The reason for this is that Zhao Weiji hopes to protect the interests of both buyers and sellers to the greatest extent.

However, even if this is not without loopholes, for example, one party is illiterate, or there is a deviation in the understanding of certain clauses in the contract, which will infringe on the interests of the shipbuilding party.

The best way to solve this problem is to make it possible for all people to read and write.

As for the "instructors", it is also something that Zhao Weiji came up with newly, because there were too many illiterate people at the beginning, these instructors came to help these illiterate people so that they could understand the contract, or the newly promulgated decree.

Although it is a duty for these instructors to help the people, and their money is given by the city hall, there are still people who will be embarrassed to trouble these instructors.

Under such a background, coupled with the fact that it was a mandatory order, it was the day of the opening of the adult academy, which almost crowded the entire academy.

In desperation, all the gentlemen except Tongmeng Academy were called to teach these illiterate adults, and those students who had hoped to enter other academies for further studies were also temporarily hired as gentlemen to teach others to read and write.

"Lord Wang, I'm going too?"

Basically, the entire Xinhua City is now able to go to teach at night, and even Zhao Weiji is now taking a class. However, although there is a bit of a shortage of manpower, Zhao Weiji has not yet let women teach men in the world, so Fujiwara Kako has not been included in his consideration for the time being.

"Forget it, many students are young men with strong blood, don't cause anything if you go."

"Oh, so what should I do now about what I learned from Mr. Li?"

Nowadays, in the context of full literacy, even Mr. Li Zhicai can only teach people to read and write, and Zhao Weiji really doesn't know if Mr. Li has time to teach Fujiwara Kako again.

"You go and talk to Mr. Li, if Mr. can take the time to teach you, you can seize the opportunity."

"Okay, I'll talk to Mr. tomorrow." After saying that, Fujiwara Kako was about to leave, and at this time, Zhao Weiji stopped her.

"By the way, you should also prepare, once the women's college is established, you will be the chief female gentleman."

"Me?" After hearing Zhao Weiji's words, Fujiwara Kako was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to believe what Zhao Weiji said.

"There's no one else here, not you."

"I can't."

"With your knowledge, being a gentleman is more than enough, not to mention that we can't find a female gentleman here for the time being, it's not you but you."

"Oh, then I'll try my best." After saying that, Fujiwara Kako left. However, it can be seen from her back Zhao Weiji that she still has some excitement in her heart, after all, this is also a kind of recognition.

Just after sending away Fujiwara Kako, Zhao Weiji ushered in Ling Huhuang again.

"You don't have to prepare for class in Yaori?"

"Lord Wang, don't tease me, something happened."

"What's the matter? Did the Great Song Dynasty send troops to recruit us? ”

"No, why might Da Song come to ask us, we have neighbors."

Hearing Ling Huhuang's words, Zhao Weiji was stunned for a moment, neighbor? Which one is this singing? Now Xinhua City's neighbors don't have anything but bison.

"What do you say? Neighbor? Is the bison fine? ”

"Lord Wang, don't make trouble, it's a group of natives here, listen to Snow, that group of people is what you call the remnants of China."

"The remnants of China." It turned out that the Indians came, which made Zhao Weiji a little unexpected, because the Indians in this era were either concentrated on the east coast, or in the later Mexico area, Xinhua City was located in the middle of the west coast, and there were no Indians in this area.

"When did they come?"

"I don't know, it's just that one of our people went out hunting today and ran into this group of people, and then it seems that there was a conflict because of a little dispute over the prey. Now Snow is adjusting there. ”

"Oh, then, do you need me to take a look?"

"You'd better go for it."

Since Ling Huhuang said this, Zhao Weiji couldn't refuse, and he also wanted to see how many Indians had moved to the vicinity of Xinhua City.

So the two of them set off at once.

Soon after the two of them arrived at Xinhua City, they saw a group of people gathered together, and from the dress of the two parties, it was clear that this was the group of Xinhua City Orions and Indians who were in conflict.

When Zhao Weiji saw them, some of them also saw Zhao Weiji and Ling Huhuang.

"The prince is here." With just such a sentence, the people in Xinhua City stopped their saber rattling with the Indians, and turned to look in the direction where Zhao Weiji and Ling Huhuang came.

At the same time, the Indians also looked in that direction, because the actions of the people of Xinhua City aroused their curiosity.

And Snow, who was between the two parties as an interpreter, also saw Zhao Weiji, and Zhao Weiji's arrival made him finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, the two parties had been arguing for a long time, and they almost started fighting.

So Snow hurriedly greeted him, "Lord Wang, you are finally here." ”

"What's going on?"

Hearing Zhao Weiji's question, Snow told the entire cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that the hunters in Xinhua City came out to hunt as usual, but they didn't expect that a group of Indians had recently migrated to this vicinity.

And this group of Indians actually classified this hunting ground as their own private hunting grounds. The hunters in Xinhua City naturally didn't know about all this, and they still entered the hunting ground to hunt as usual.

But when they had finished hunting, the Indians appeared, and they demanded that the hunters either leave their prey or gold.

But the Orions couldn't understand what they were saying, so the two sides clashed.

However, because there was a person in Orion who knew Snow and knew some things about Snow, he rushed back to the city to find Snow.

When Snow came, he originally thought that it was just the language barrier that caused the communication barrier, but he didn't expect that after he translated the Indians' request, it would not be a language barrier.

For the request of the Indians, the hunters of Xinhua City must not be able to agree, not to mention that this hunting ground is originally a terra nullius, even if an owner is to be established, then it should be a Xinhua City hunter who has been hunting in this hunting ground for a long time.

So the two sides have such a stalemate, and the contradiction has a tendency to become more and more intense, according to Snow's estimate, if Zhao Weiji does not come again, the two sides will fight.

"Oh, that's the way it is, but then again, how did you come out hunting? Haven't we started raising and grazing livestock? ”

This is exactly what Zhao Weiji finds strange, except for the large-scale hunting activities in the early days of the city's founding, when everything in Xinhua City gradually began to improve, the hunting activities gradually decreased. Especially when animal husbandry began to develop, basically no one lived by hunting.

After all, there are no animals with precious fur such as tigers and brown bears living in this area, and there are usually few people who come out to hunt.

"Back to the prince's words, in fact, we were just hunters in the past, and then we all did something else, but recently we got together again during class, so we discussed taking advantage of the good weather to go out hunting and play together. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. ”

"Do you have any thoughts on this?"

"Actually, we don't pay much attention to these prey, after all, none of us live on these prey now, we just feel that we can't swallow this breath, after all, if it is more time, we have to hunt too long before this group of people hunting here."

"That's right, but in this situation, they definitely won't give up easily, but can you leave this matter to me?"

"Okay, lord, you can do what you say."

So Zhao Weiji officially began to intervene in this matter.
