The principal said: "Our school lasts for two years and does not charge tuition, so there is no such thing as being unable to pay the tuition.
The main reason we investigated is that these children have to work at home.
If they come to school, their families will Reduced income.”
Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "Little children can do many things, the most they can do is look at cows.
For this trivial matter, adults can just use their hands a little.
Why should they be prevented from going to school?
Don't they know the role of going to school?"
The mountain chief did not dare to speak anymore, but Wei Zhongxian said from the side: "Your Majesty, children from poor families are not just looking at cattle, they are used as labor."
Zhu Youxiao looked at the mountain chief, who nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Zhu Youxiao asked in disbelief: "If a child like this is squeezed, is this what parents should do?"
Wei Zhongxian replied: "Your Majesty, if the children don't do things, those poor families will become even poorer.
They don't want to exploit their children, they do it because they have no other choice."
Zhu Youxiao still didn't believe it, but he wasn't going to dwell on it anymore, so he asked: "Even so, it's just a poor family.
Could it be that except for the more than 100 people here, all other families are poor families?"
The mountain chief was silent, and Wei Zhongxian was silent as well.
Zhu Youxiao understood and stopped asking, so he asked instead: "Are there any girls who want to go to school?"
Keshi covered her mouth and looked at Zhu Youxiao in disbelief.
The mountain chief said: "When we were divided, the Normal School did raise the issue of allowing girls to enroll, and proposed that a special girls' school be opened.
Since there are only three of us now, the girls' school has not been put on the agenda.
But we have tried it with others as a joke, and everyone thought it was funny, so I am just afraid that it will be difficult to do the girls’ school thing.”
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
In fact, he also knew that it was almost impossible to open a girls' school outside the capital.
The first girls' school in the capital was currently under construction, but according to the survey, very few were willing to enroll, let alone male students here.
They all occupy a very small proportion of the place.
He then asked: "How are things going with the benevolent people in the school?"
The so-called benevolent people in the school refer to people who donate money and materials to the school in various ways.
Zhu Youxiao feels that when others have made contributions, of course there must be rewards.
Then set up a charity association in the school and include them in the school's supervision system.
This will not only improve their social status, but also provide suggestions for various issues in the school.
It will definitely attract many wealthy people to donate enthusiastically.
The mountain leader replied: "This is going very smoothly.
Six schools have already expressed their willingness to donate money and materials to the school, and some people have offered to provide students with a lunch.
This should allow more people to come to school."
Zhu Youxiao wondered: "Why can more people come to school by providing lunch?"
The mountain leader said: "Some families let their children skip breakfast and then come to school.
After eating at noon, they can pay for the morning and evening meals.
This is equivalent to saving a day's meals."
Zhu Youxiao said: "To attract students to school with one meal, how poor is this?
Are you going to stop eating three meals?"
The mountain chief whispered: "Your Majesty, farmers usually only eat two meals a day."
Principal Zhu You sighed and realized that he had not underestimated the poverty of farmers.
He waved his hand and said tiredly: "Okay, that's it for today.
You have done a good job.
Keep up the hard work.
I hope to see a more prosperous Qinghedian School next time."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
As he walked, he said to Wei Zhongxian: "Go find an inn and take a rest first."
Wei Zhongxian replied: "Your Majesty, the best inn in Qinghe Branch is the restaurant where we ate first.
I have visited there specifically.
The conditions are not very good.
Do you want me to ask this slave to find a new gentry's home in Dongchang to let them live in?
They It’s too late to like it.”
Zhu Youxiao snorted and said, "I'm afraid it's too late.
Just stay in the inn and don't disturb the place."
Wei Zhongxian did not dare to say anything anymore, and the group arrived at the Qinghe Restaurant.
Zhu Youxiao entered the room first and said to Duan Ying: "Bring me my paper and pen."
Duan Ying took out a stack of paper and a quill.
Zhu Youxiao was still accustomed to using a hard pen.
He used a quill pen to write these words on the paper: poverty, ignorance, religion, corruption.
A family actually needs children to support the family, which shows that poverty has become a common problem.
If the majority of the people in a country are poor, it means that the country is also poor.
Industrialization is the most important method to solve the poverty problem.
Farmers used the most primitive tools to perform heavy labor, but the result was still poverty.
If we change our thinking and on the one hand create a large number of new agricultural tools and on the other hand start the process of industrialization, the poverty problem of farmers will be fundamentally solved.
In fact, the problem of ignorance is closely related to poverty.
We can't even eat enough, so how can we have the energy and time to learn cultural knowledge.
Therefore, we must first get rid of poverty, and then we can improve everyone’s cultural level.
Corruption is a long-standing problem.
Even in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, under Zhu Yuanzhang's severe punishment, it could not be completely banned, and it even intensified in the end.
The most important reason is that the number of supervisors is too small and the people's cultural level is too low, so they are not suitable supervisors at all.
Although religion is conducive to the rule of rulers, religion can also make people ignorant.
However, a large number of temples own a large amount of land and do not pay taxes.
This must be changed.
The most important of these four issues is poverty, so we must start from this point.
Some people say that poverty is the original sin, and Zhu Youxiao agrees with this view.
Buddhism says that a thief's heart leads to poverty and a kind heart brings wealth.
Zhu Youxiao felt that the opposite should be said, poverty breeds thieves, and kindness breeds wealth.
Some people in later generations believed that the poor were the kindest, but Zhu Youxiao disagreed.
You can't even eat three meals a day, but you expect it to help others.
It's really too much.
Duan Ying saw Zhu Youxiao frowning and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, you cannot make them rich just by growing crops."
Zhu Youxiao shook his head.
He at least knew that the food problem of the Ming Dynasty was the most important reason for the downfall of the Ming Dynasty, so he did not dare to let farmers plant other crops to occupy the food planting area.
He smiled and said: "Now we can only rely on food.
If there is no food to eat, people will die in the end.
Poverty can only make people look good, at least it will not kill them all at once
