Today I updated the eighth consecutive days and have been writing for a whole day. Please give me some support and motivation! Thank you for your monthly tickets and rewards, thank you!

Liuqiu’s current agriculture and sericulture are very good. Liuqiu has a county that is as big as a road. Some are land, immigrants continue to increase, and the reclaimed fields are also increasing, and the population is rapidly increasing.

It can be said that we encourage the growth of agriculture and sericulture and household registration, both of which are already very good.

However, the culture and education are still insufficient at present. So far, there are only a few schools in Liuqiu City, but the population of more than 50,000 on Liuqiu Island is not enough.

But if the official education is run, it will cost money.

Although the Li family had handed over the taxes that Liu Qiu had received to the county government, he could not use the taxes collected by the county at will. He first received one-third of them to the Li family, then paid one-third to the central government, one-third to the Fujian Road, and one-third to stay in the prefecture. The county's finances must be withdrawn from the prefecture.

Now Li proposed that the Li family pay for education, and all villages have built schools and are responsible for the maintenance of expenditures. This is a huge gift for Fan Lubing.

"How can I let the Li family pay? It's impossible to do it." Fan Lubing said hurriedly.

"It's really bad to let the Li family pay for it." Li smiled when he saw Fan Lubing's attitude, "How about this, my Li family will lead the establishment of a Liuqiu Cultural and Education Foundation and raise funds from all parties. The money received will be used to establish a school in Liuqiu, hire teachers, and provide school expenses, so that the children of the people who immigrated to Liuqiu have the opportunity to go to school."

"I propose here that all donations received by the Foundation will be used for school expenses, and the foundation's operating expenses will be donated separately by the Li family, and all accounts will be made public regularly."

Fan Lubing thought about it and found that this was much better than the Li family who invested.

"Is this foundation the same as the Bailu Academy established by King Yue in Bashang, Chang'an?"

When Li established Bailu Academy, he also raised funds and obtained a foundation to manage funds with transparent accounts. Bailu Academy has long become one of the most famous academies in the Tang Dynasty. It now has primary schools, middle schools and even a university with more than 3,000 students.

Although in terms of scale, it is far less than the size of more than 8,000 students in the Imperial College, it is already very powerful as a private academy. Especially Bailu Academy has a good reputation and the students in it have also achieved good grades. Zhenguan held four imperial examinations, and many people in the academy have already passed the Ming Jing and Jinshi exams.

In addition, the Bailu Academy College also obtained the qualification specially awarded by the court. Students from the university can directly participate in the annual imperial examination for the court. The examination results of the Bailu Academy students are indeed very good, and they have provided many outstanding students with the government to join the official position.

Now Bailu Academy has planned to open one branch in Hanjing and Luoyang, and each school plans to enroll more than a thousand students.

Many people say that it won’t take long before Bailu Academy will pass the Imperial College.

When Li was in Longyou, Lintan Academy, he had more than 2,000 students, and had a very good reputation.

Li’s reputation for running the school is there, and he will succeed wherever he starts.

It costs a lot to build a primary school in a Tunzhuang.

In fact, it is better for the official to do this, but it is definitely unrealistic to let the official promote compulsory education now. Although running a school requires money, it has gained a great reputation.

In ancient China, local gentry were keen on running schools. Even if he just opened a small private school, he could gain a lot of reputation. The Li family was not short of money, but promoting this free primary school could indeed gain a lot of reputation.

For Li, Liuqiu is the private territory of the Li family in his eyes. Running schools can also make Liuqiu develop faster.

"My plan is to have a primary school in every Tunzhuang. The primary schools are divided into junior high school and junior high school, junior high school third grade, and junior high school third grade. In junior high school, you can enter the school at the age of five or six. I hope that Lu Bing can order in the name of the county government that all children of the people of Liuke must pass the third year of junior high school education, which is mandatory."

"The compulsory education for junior high school students in the third year of junior high school is free of charge. The school also provides brunch, school uniforms, paper and pen, etc. Those with excellent grades can also give scholarships."

"As for the third year of high school, the people will choose voluntarily. Those who are willing to continue studying are still free. Those who are unwilling to study do not force them. But if they have good grades, the school can give scholarships to give them the opportunity to finish the study."

The classification of primary schools into primary schools is also based on actual conditions.

In many people's homes, children aged five or six to seven or eight can't do much. It's free to ask their parents to give their children fruits, and many people are not willing to do it. But by the time they are ten years old, these children can already count as half of their labor force at home.

Many people are no longer willing to let their half-best continue to study.

After all, although studying is a good thing, it is not so easy for a child to read. Just study for a few years without blindness.

If you go further, you will definitely need money. The Li family will not be able to run free education for all. At most, it will be free popular education. It will be very good if you can complete the primary school in six years.

There are indeed many children who may not be able to read them all. Their grades are not good, and no matter how much they read, they may not be promising. Li will take the actual situation seriously.

Compulsory compulsory education for primary school in the early three years, while voluntary education for primary school in the three years.

Even if the people's children have only received these three years of education, it is very good, at least they will no longer be illiterate.

Primary school education not only teaches children to read and calculate, but also promotes the Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty. Especially for a place like Liu Qiu, which is composed of immigrants, promoting Mandarin is very important, and this is a long-term development.

Of course, this is also a kind of favor and a way to win people's hearts.

Children received education funded by the Li family since childhood. From childhood, they would leave the impression that the Li family was a good person and the King of Yue Li was a good person. Once this concept is left, it would be the same as a brand.

"There is another thing. After the schools in each Tunzhuang are opened, I hope to use the evening or weekend to literate the people in Tunzhuang."

“Literacy?”

"Those who are illiterate are illiterate, and those who are blind with their eyes open. Those who are literate for only five hundred are semi-illiterate. Only those who are literate for more than one thousand can they say they are not illiterate."

The Tang Dynasty's literacy rate was only 5%, and there were 48.5 million illiterate illiteracy.

So many blind people are a huge obstacle for Li, who is determined to promote the industry and commerce exhibition and want to change this era.

If you are illiterate, you will easily be ignorant, and illiterate will also hinder production. In workshops, shops, and people who don’t even know their words will definitely greatly affect their work.

"Hold literacy classes to teach people to read and get rid of blindness, and also teach them official language and some simple barbarians. Otherwise, the exchanges between the immigrants from all over the world here will be a problem."

Fan Wenlu was stunned for a long time when Li proposed this wild literacy class. Then he thought for a while, if this literacy class was really effective, then the literacy rate of the people in Liuqiu County under his rule will be 5%, even if it is increased by one point, it will be great.

That is the great achievement of culture and education.
