Only by reading can we enlighten the wisdom of the people and truly play a role in education."

Yu Qian shook his head and said, "What you said is not right. Everyone goes to study, who will farm? Who will work? What I said just now is unstable without farming, no work is strong, no business is rich. If no one farms, no one works.

, If no one is doing business, wouldn’t all the new policies become empty talk?”

Shang Lu said: "Although Wei County did not pay special attention to education and the county school did not re-educate, but..."

When Yu Qian heard this, he became unhappy. If he didn't do it well, he would just admit it. I didn't blame you, but I still wanted to shirk it. This is your wrong thing.

"...But this year, there are more than 3,600 children enrolled in the county and 952 people who signed up for the county examination..."

"Wait a minute, what did you say?"

Yu Qian was a little uneasy and his eyes were full of surprise.

There are more than 3,600 children studying alone...

Wei County has a population of 30,000 households, and the number of people is about 100,000 to 150,000.

I think the population of children will be around 10,000, and at most it will not exceed 15,000.

But even so, what does it mean to have more than 3,600 people?

In the past, even in the entire Datong Mansion, all scholars combined could not match half of this number.

Therefore, Yu Qian's first reaction was that he heard it wrong.

Even if it is relatively wealthy and pays the most attention to education, one out of twenty people in Nanzhili, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places, which are more prosperous, is already very amazing.

But in just one county, one out of four or five people who study in the school?

How is this ratio possible?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "If so, wouldn't everyone in Wei County be like Yao and Shun? There are so many children in learning from it, this is unprecedented. Shang Magistrate, are you saying these words...

Something is exaggerated?"

"If Lord Yu doesn't believe it, you can go to Wei County and see for yourself. Is it what the following officials said?"

Shang Lu looked slightly angry. In his opinion, you said I could, but it would not be possible to say anything to Weixian under my rule.

Yu Qian was stunned and said, "I just felt that things were a little incredible and there was no intention to target you."

Shang Lu looked calm and said, "The lower official has no other meaning, but it is true that seeing is true. Otherwise, the Lord Yu would not believe anything the lower official said."

Yu Qian was a little helpless and looked at Zhu Qizhen and looked at him asking for help.

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Shang Lu is right, then go and have a look!"

Yu Qian was puzzled and asked, "What the emperor means is to let me go to Wei County?"

"It's not you!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "I'm going with you to see if Wei County is as Shang Lu said, how?"

"this……"

Yu Qian hesitated and said, "It's better to go there as a place for the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The Chinese New Year is coming, so I can't stay in Nanjing forever. You can pass by Weixian on the way back and take a look."

Yu Qian nodded. Wei County was very close to the capital. Since the emperor was about to return to Beijing, let's go to Wei County.

However, the new policy in Nanjing has just been launched. If both myself and the emperor leave, many things will be abandoned halfway.

"The Emperor, Nanjing's new policy..."

"Isn't this Shang Lu here? He was asked to take office as the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture and be fully responsible for the new policies of Nanjing and the six provinces in Jiangnan."

Yu Qian thought to himself, wouldn’t you go to Wei County to inspect first?

It turns out that when we go to Wei County, we are not going to verify whether what Shang Lu said is true, but we are really going to take a look?

OK, you are the emperor, you can do whatever you say...

"I will notify the Ministry of Personnel and issue a formal document of inauguration."

"If you go to the capital quickly and return, it will be a month later..."

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "Just use the name of the Nanjing Ministry of Personnel to submit documents and I will add another seal, and it will be done!"

"Emperor, Nanjing Ministry of Personnel... hasn't it been withdrawn?"

"Will you just need to advance the date of the document by half a month?"

"This... I obey the order!"
