The Foundation of Education (Asking for Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 1586 The Foundation of Education (asking for monthly ticket)
His attention was attracted by the little cutie from Long Qilin's family. Long Qilin heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Qin Mu would not pursue the term "old leader".
Qin Mu took these little monsters that looked like neither bird nor beast, and neither beast nor dragon, to travel around the city to observe the customs and people of Yankang. It was quite relaxing to have these little monsters to entertain him.
A little guy ran to his shoulder and looked at his ear holes, very curious.
Two other little guys ran and hid in his hair, and soon started fighting over this "bird's nest".
"Master, the beast world has developed very rapidly in recent years."
Long Qilin accompanied him and said, "The Beast Realm is vast, and the beast tribe is the most numerous behind the ancestral temple. I helped Long Xi build many divine cities. Many cities have also been built behind the Yuan Realm, Xuandu, and Youdu. And..."
He hesitated for a moment, and said, "I discussed with the emperor and decided to reduce the number of soldiers and increase the number of forts to relocate some of the Yankang population to the back of the Yuanjie, where we built many divine cities. It was called Little Yankang."
Qin Mu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Little Yankang in the animal world is Yankang’s retreat.
"The plan of reducing soldiers and increasing stoves can make it impossible for the Heavenly Court to detect the decrease in the population of Yankang. In addition, the Book of Life and Death can be used to erase all traces of their existence. In this way, these people can go to the Beast Realm without anyone noticing and open up a second Yankang."
Long Qilin said: "I also have a lot of power in the beast world. In recent years, I have been trying to open up the wisdom of the beasts in the beast world. Saint Lan Yutian has some beast disciples, all of whom are ancient giant beasts. This time, we can build Xiao Yankang with their help."
Qin Mu nodded, feeling very relieved.
Lan Yutian taught and preached in the ancestral temple. Many ancient giant beasts followed him, awakened their spiritual intelligence, learned how to practice, and evolved into a new race, the beastman.
After the Beast Realm was opened up, Qin Mu asked Long Qilin to follow Long Xi to the Beast Realm. These beasts also followed Long Qilin to the Beast Realm. Qin Mu's goal was to let Long Qilin operate in the Beast Realm and establish another sphere of influence.
The beast world is on the dark side of the universe and has a harsh environment, but if a war breaks out, the beast world will be the last pure land.
The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, so Qin Mu must send the most trustworthy person to handle this matter. Long Qilin has not appeared for so many years because he is handling this matter.
"The beastmen and I used reverse summoning magic to summon the people of Yankang to the beast world. The progress has been slow over the years because we have to be careful of Long Hun to prevent him from knowing, but fortunately we have made some achievements."
Long Qilin smiled and said, "When will the leader go to the beast world to take a look at Xiao Yankang?"
Qin Mu smiled and said, "I'm at ease with you doing things. Pi, in my heart, you have already become an independent person."
Long Qilin was overjoyed and wanted to wag his tail, but his status in the animal world over the years was second only to Long Xi, and his status made him a little reserved.
Qin Mu touched his big head, and Long Qilin couldn't help but wagged his tail twice, looking very satisfied.
Qin Mu traveled around this divine city and visited the vegetable market, alleys, primary school, and university. He spread his spiritual sense and listened to all the conversations of the people in the entire divine city to check on the people's sentiments.
"This divine city is great. Although it has its share of impurities, it is generally positive."
Qin Mu suddenly asked: "I have seen the Divine City, but how is the development below?"
He came to the edge of the city and looked at the land below, where there were also many villages and towns.
Long Qilin followed him to the land. Qin Mu walked through the countryside and came to a town. He asked, "Do your children have names?"
Long Qilin said, "They've all been given names. My last name is Long, Yan'er's last name is Zhu, and the boys will take my last name, and the girls will take theirs. The eldest was born early, a boy, and is named Changli. The second girl is named Hongyu, and the third is eloquent, and is named Tanxuan..."
Qin Mu came to the towns and cities, and saw that they were mostly populated by elderly people with children, but very few young and strong people. He could not help but frown.
He went to the town's primary school again and listened to a few classes, his brows furrowed even more.
The people in this town are not as well dressed as those in the City of Gods, and their living conditions are much worse than those in the City of Gods, as is their food.
What is even more frightening is that in primary schools and universities, the teachers who teach the children are all ordinary people with supernatural powers. There are not many people with outstanding talents. They are perfunctory in teaching the children, and even the teachers only have a superficial understanding of the subject.
He went to ask the old man in the town, and the old man said: "The young people have gone to the sacred city, or to the mines, the supervision factory, and some have crossed the mountains and rivers to go to the capital. You may not see them once or twice in a year."
"So, the primary and university in the countryside..."
"With fewer people, primary schools and universities can no longer operate. Some have already closed down. Our town is relatively large, so they can still operate. Children of families with some money go to school in the city, and those without money can only stay and learn some skills so as not to starve to death."
Qin Mu stood in the dilapidated primary school in a daze, muttering, "It's only been a hundred years, it's only been a hundred years..."
Long Qilin said cautiously: "Master, their lives are actually much better than they were a hundred years ago."
Qin Mu shook his head and said, "This is not what I want. Let's continue walking and take a look ahead."
He came to a country village, which looked even more dilapidated. Qin Mu did not stay for too long and asked directly where the village primary school was.
"It has been closed for more than ten years." Someone took him to the ruins of a country primary school.
Qin Mu led Long Qilin all the way, traveling through the countryside. Above their heads was the bright and beautiful divine city, extremely prosperous, and below them was a dilapidated town with only the old and the young left.
He traveled through many cities and villages in Yankang without ever relaxing his brow.
As the night deepened, Qin Mu stopped. Long Qilin led his little ones to build a bonfire, and everyone sat by the fire.
Long Qilin said: "Master, this is inevitable. The development of the Divine City will definitely attract young and strong people. Young and strong people have a way to make a living in the Divine City. They can contribute, study, and have greater development opportunities. However, the Divine City does not need the elderly and children, so the old and the young can only stay in the countryside. This is fair, not justified."
Qin Mu nodded and said, "I understand. I was the one who taught you the truth."
Long Qilin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Since you understand this, you should know that the faster Yankang develops, the more different classes will emerge. Some people make a lot of money with their own abilities and talents, and rise to prominence. Some people lag behind, but they can still thrive and have no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Some people, because they failed to become supernatural powers, can only stay in the countryside. Yankang, learning for practical use, only talents are promoted, knowledge and practice are unified, and only useful people can achieve success. Isn't this the ideal of the leader?"
Qin Mu nodded: "I understand too. I taught you these principles."
"Then why is the leader so sad?"
Long Qilin was puzzled and said, "Yankang has been developing for more than a hundred years in accordance with your ideas and the way of the saints for the people to use. Why does the leader still have worries in his heart?"
Qin Mu exhaled a breath of foul air and said in a deep voice: "Everything can be run according to fairness, except education."
Long Qilin was stunned for a moment, and said, "There is no distinction in Yankang education. Regardless of whether one is from a poor family or a rich family, the magical skills that can be learned are all the best. Yankang does not keep any of them for himself. Isn't this fair?"
Qin Mu added some wood to the campfire. The flames illuminated his face, making it dim and bright. "People have different talents, different understandings, and different temperaments. When they grow up, they have different achievements and different classes. This is correct and should be so. But education should not have classes."
"Parents are stupid and become poor, but their children are not necessarily stupid. If a child is extremely talented but is born in a poor family, he cannot receive a good education because of his poor family background, and wastes his talents and becomes mediocre. This is the greatest injustice. He becomes mediocre because of his poor family background. This is fair, but not just!"
"Everything is fine in Yankang right now, but it is not fair in education. If education is polarized, the poor will get poorer and poorer in the long run, and there will be no chance of turning things around. This is what horrifies me. The Yankang Reform is moving in this direction, which is not what I want."
Qin Mu pondered, "Reform is to give people hope, not to solidify this class. Tiansheng Sect has 360 halls, but there is no school. After I became the leader of Tiansheng Sect, I established the school. The students in the school back then were all from poor families. We were able to do this back then, why can't we do it today?"
He frowned, "The voices of the poor are low, and even if they complain loudly in the wilderness, the people in the God City cannot hear them. But someone must speak for them, not to ask for a future for them, but to ask for justice for their descendants. I am the national teacher, the tallest person in the God City. If I don't speak, hehe, who else will speak for them?"
Long Qilin frowned, thought for a long time, and said: "I see that the leader has been worried these days. I am afraid that a war is coming. If the education system is to be reformed now, it will inevitably affect the interests of many people and cause instability in the upper echelons."
Qin Mu fiddled with the bonfire and said in a deep voice: "The Heavenly Court wants to take Youdu, and then take Wuyou Township and Yankang, and restore the rule of the demigods, so that people will no longer have the ability to resist. At this time, the educational reform of Yankang will indeed cause some chaos. But what I want is not a temporary victory or defeat, but the long-term prosperity of Yankang, and constant victory and invincibility! The educational reform now will make it prosperous for hundreds and thousands of years in the future. Otherwise, today's upper class will be tomorrow's Ten Heavenly Lords. We must be careful."
He chuckled, "Now in the world, demigods eat people, so Yankang wants to overthrow the rule of demigods. If people eat people in the future, that would be a joke! You should do your job. I am the national teacher, so I must do my job. Education reform is imperative. I will write to the emperor and ask her to promote Master Wenyuan to take charge of this matter. Master Wenyuan has always been down-to-earth, but he must walk in the countryside for a few years to see the situation clearly."
Long Qilin looked at him and suddenly smiled: "The leader is still the leader of the past. Since this matter has been decided, then the leader should probably go to the heavens and myriad worlds."
Qin Mu looked at him in surprise.
Long Qilin smiled and said, "The Heavenly Court promoted the Heavenly Coin to control the world's economy. Back then, the leader decided to forge the Heavenly Coin to establish a country. A hundred years have passed, and the leader should go and take a look at the situation in the heavens and myriad worlds."
Qin Mu thought for a moment and said, "Whether the Yankang event can be accomplished depends on the support of the people. Not only the support of the people of Yankang, but also the support of the people of the heavens and myriad worlds. Okay, let's go to the heavens and myriad worlds!"
He stood up. The little monsters in Long Qilin's family were still sleeping. Little Tu Bo made a gesture to silence them and gathered these little guys together.
Long Qilin opened his ears and let him pick up the little guys and put them into his ears.
The two of them headed for the nearest sacred city. On the way, Qin Mu had already written the memorial. After arriving at the sacred city, he ordered someone to rush it to Yankang in the capital.
Ling Yuxiu reviewed memorials overnight. When she saw Qin Mu's memorial, she pondered for a moment and ordered people to go to the ancestral temple to invite Wen Yuan.
"It's a rare visit for the cowherd to come back, but he didn't come to see me. He just sent me a memorial..."
She shook her head. The memorial not only talked about the educational reform, but also about Youdu. It asked her to order people to find Ling Tianzun, Yue Tianzun, Langhui, Kaihuang and others.
Ling Yuxiu suppressed the thoughts in her mind and thought: "The battle of Youdu cannot afford to fail, otherwise Yankang will be in danger!"
She immediately ordered people to search for the whereabouts of these Heavenly Lords, thinking: "Where did the cowherd go if he didn't come back?"
