Chapter 112 Talents and Population

Heti and Rebecca were called to Gaowen's camp, and after hearing Gaowen's thoughts, they were shocked.

"Education? Teach every civilian or even serf?" Hetty's eyes widened, almost losing his temper. "And to be listed as a law in the territory, everyone must be educated like taxes?!"

"Yes, reading and literacy will be not only a right, but also an obligation," Gao Wen smiled. It is actually quite pleasing to see Hetty, who has always been mature and steady, being frightened by himself. "Now everyone in the territory must be able to read and write, and those who come to this land in the future must do this, otherwise they will not be able to survive in the new order I have promoted."

Hetty showed a thoughtful expression: "New Order..."

Rebecca next to her was actually more practical. What she immediately thought of was how difficult it was: "My ancestors, it was not that easy to teach an illiterate civilian to be knowledgeable and well-educated. This required literature teachers, mathematics teachers, history and geography teachers, as well as swordsmanship and riding teachers, and one or two museum tutors. Even if you finish these relatively basic courses, as well as super difficult courses such as art, etiquette and heraldry, these courses are not enough for less than ten years!"

Gao Wen was stunned when he was about to explain, when Hetty in front of him covered his forehead and spoke: "Rebecca... Not everyone has to learn etiquette art and heraldry for more than ten years, and in fact you haven't learned them yet..."

Rebecca was stunned: "Hey? Is that true? How do I remember my etiquette teacher said that I have already started..."

Hetty looked so angry: "Because he really can't beat you!"

Rebecca: "…"

Amber, who was standing behind Gao Wen, suddenly laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth, and the whole tent was filled with joyful air.

Gao Wen had to quickly interrupt the topic of the two older granddaughters' increasingly biased: "Stop and stop, the more you talk, the more you become, the more you are talking, I think you misunderstood what I mean, the education I mentioned is completely different from the kind of education you know about to cultivate heirs in a big family. I am not going to cultivate aristocratic children or trainee priests, but to cultivate talents with literacy and mathematical logic, and remember, it is a large number of training."

As he said that, he shook his head: "The way to find a lot of famous mentors, from morning to end every day, and educate several young masters and ladies over the past ten years, is not feasible here. The education I requested is very simple: for adults who are responsible for work, they can provide two hours of basic general education, literacy and recognition after work every day. For children who are unable to take on work, they will be educated for half a day, and the other half a day will be left to them to help their parents work at home."

This "simple" and "cheap" education method is unheard of. Hetty couldn't help but frown: "In other words, their minimum standards only require reading and literacy, and teachers only need this level... What will be the role of such basic education?"

She actually didn't say a word: Why do civilians and serfs have to be able to read?
