"Literacy movement?" to Arthur''s new term, Mr. Boye looked puzzled.

    "That''s right." Arthur explained, "knowledge can guide people forward, books are stairs, and illiterate people are like blind people in the dark. Now Shanghe Town, who promotes education, Arthur plans to complete the literacy task in a few months.

    They don''t need much knowledge. They just need to be able to read and write simply and understand the decrees. The most important one is the first army and the most important one is the ten small captains!

    Even if you read the instructions, how can you fight!

    Mr. Boye frowned and said, "Sir, although your idea is good, it is too difficult. Whether civilians, serfs or slaves, they have no leisure time for literacy. Moreover, it is meaningless for them. Even if you force orders, I''m afraid it won''t have much effect."

    "Coercion is the least efficient management method," Arthur said. "People are benefit animals. If we want to effectively promote the literacy campaign, we must let them see the benefits of literacy."

    "As I said, the implementation of education is only one part of Shanghe town''s reform plan. In the future, literacy will be the most basic requirement for all job opportunities provided by lingfengbao, and the higher the position and salary, the higher the requirement for knowledge."

    "Of course, in order not to delay the construction of the territory, literacy campaigns should be carried out flexibly. For example, for farmers, they should first learn their own names, and then learn the names of land, agricultural work, agricultural tools and livestock... Those who learn outstanding can be rewarded and paid to teach the people by the people."

    Although there is no historical experience of full name education in this world, Arthur has!

    In the last life, he received nine years of compulsory education. In terms of historical experience, it is quite rich!

    After hearing Arthur''s explanation, Mr. Boye nodded. This is indeed a feasible and effective way.

    "My Lord said earlier that this was the first step of the plan. I think there must be other considerations?"

    Arthur gave a sound and then said, "to promote education, my second step plan is to implement three-year compulsory education in Shanghe town."

    "Compulsory education?" Bachelor Boye looked at Arthur suspiciously, which was another word he had never heard of.

    "The so-called compulsory education means compulsory education and free education. I will issue a territorial decree requiring all children over the age of 10 in Shanghe town to receive compulsory education for three years, and the expenses incurred will be paid by lingfengbao."

    "Adults, since there is already a literacy campaign, why should we add another compulsory education?"

    Mr. Boye didn''t care about coercion. After all, it was free, and with Arthur''s previous statement, the parents of these children must be very happy to accept it.

    Arthur continued to explain: "once a sage who liked to collapse on the bench said: what is the most expensive in today''s world? Talent!"

    "Like the sage on the bench?"

    A sage is a respectful title for a bachelor. Only those who are erudite and have a high reputation can enjoy such a title.

    Mr. Boye himself is a sage, but as a sage, he has never heard of a sage who likes to collapse on a bench.

    "It''s just what I saw in that broken ancient book. It doesn''t matter!" Arthur coughed twice and demonstrated his embarrassment.

    It''s just that the conditions are poor. No mobile phone or WiFi. No one even knows what to say.

    No one understands the pain~

    The ancient books had been destroyed, and Mr. Boye didn''t ask, and then asked, "what does the adult mean by talent?"

    "Talent means... Very talented people!" said casually, but couldn''t think of a specific explanation. "It means people with higher professional knowledge and skills in one aspect. For example, in terms of knowledge, a bachelor''s degree is a talent compared with a person who can only read."

    Mr. Boye nodded, understood Arthur''s meaning, and then asked, "what the adult means is to gather these ten-year-old children and train them like a bachelor? In three years, I''m afraid it will be difficult."

    "Schools alone cannot cultivate talents. Schools are only responsible for imparting their knowledge."

    "Bachelor, I have planned to divide the knowledge that the school needs to teach into five disciplines: history, mathematics, language, geography and science. These five disciplines are taught in three years according to the degree of difficulty."

    Arthur gave a general explanation of the meaning of several disciplines to Mr. Boye.

    He originally wanted to set up physics and chemistry separately, but the accumulation of knowledge in these two disciplines in this world is completely blank.

    He racked his brains, but also sorted out some physical chemistry knowledge that stopped in high school, and most of them still can''t remember completely.

    Simply two in one, two into one, all as the foundation for the development of physical chemistry in the world.

    "Bachelor, to carry out compulsory education, in addition to a large number of bachelor''s degrees, the most important thing is to compile teaching materials. I hope you can write to Xuecheng and explain the situation. I am willing to hire them at the price of one gold coin per person per month."

    "Lord Arthur, that ancient book has really been destroyed!?" Bachelor Boye didn''t care about what Arthur said.

    After listening to Arthur''s explanation of several disciplines, he was completely shocked by the knowledge he had never heard of.

    It turns out that flame combustion needs something called oxygen; It turns out that a blacksmith can get steel by hammering pig iron because he removes the excess carbon in it; It turns out that the alternation of day and night and the change of the four seasons are because we live on a moving ball; It turns out that the stars in the sky are incomparably distant suns

    Yeah! Why has no one ever thought about how objects have weight and always fall.

    The great sage named Newton found such a profound and clear truth from the simple trifles of life!

    Looking at the shocked bachelor Boye, Arthur nodded with regret.

    "It has indeed been destroyed. The ancient book has existed for too long, and its handwriting is very vague. After I read it, it rotted to pieces."

    Mr. Boye was immediately distressed: "sorry, sorry! My ancestors had made such a great discovery, but I didn''t know it. Even the school city couldn''t record it!"

    Arthur was a little proud to see the bachelor Boye with a beard beating his chest and feet there.

    This is the bachelor group. If the priests or monks who change to religion hear these views, the gentle will scoff, and the grumpy will denounce Arthur as a heresy.

    But fortunately, this world is not theocracy. Although priests and monks have strong influence, only aristocrats are in the ruling class!

    Even if the priests and monks were no longer dissatisfied with Arthur, they had no right to judge an aristocrat.

    Looking at the grieving bachelor, Arthur coughed twice and comforted: "bachelor, the ancient books have been destroyed, and regret is meaningless. Now the most important thing is to pass on these brilliant knowledge."
