Now that all Anxin's energy is focused on building a new town, everyone doesn't understand why Li Yi proposed to set up a night school in the first place.

The main duty of the chief security officer is to keep the people at peace. On weekdays, he only needs to call for messages from time to time, so there is no need to go through such trouble. But Li Yi proposed this matter, and everyone is waiting for him to explain his reasons.

Li Yi also knew that everyone was very confused, so he said: "This night school is a place to teach people to read and have no other use. At that time, Mr. Zhao will find a few scholars to teach, and each gentleman will have merit.

If the results are good, I plan to let more people start attending night classes to learn literacy."

Zhao Renchang nodded and said: "If there is merit to be gained, there must be someone who is willing. But why should Shitou spend money and food to teach them how to read and judge things? I really can't understand this matter."

Not only him, but everyone also didn't know why they were spending money and food just to have people learn literacy.

Different from the idealistic ideas of many scholars, Zhao Renchang and others have experienced famine and natural disasters, and have seen the cruelty of reality, so they all think and do things based on practical considerations, focusing on utilitarianism.

If it were some scholars who opened schools to teach people to read and write and listen to the teachings of saints, it would be a good thing. But if it were Zhao Renchang, he would have to pity the money and food spent on Li Yi's behalf.

It can be said that a lot of An Xin's money and food were obtained with everyone's lives.

Li Yi did not object to Zhao Renchang's utilitarian ideas, because in fact most of them were extremely utilitarian. Even he himself did this because he had some income.

Good deeds without benefits will never last long. Just like some people do something for fame or for spiritual comfort. As long as they do something, they all do it to get some desired result. And this kind of utilitarianism is not shameful, because it is

It is a good deed that benefits oneself and others. Only in this way can good deeds be truly done for a long time.

The establishment of the night school actually came from the words of the father-in-law of Tongkou Village. That day he said that he came to the door after learning that Li Yihaohao said that ordinary people should not be bullied.

After the incident, Li Yi kept thinking about the words "people should not be bullied". Although these words were uttered by himself, they were also due to the terror of the wave of people's power that he had seen.

I think back then, a single spark could start a prairie fire. Although it refers to a party organization, in Li Yi's opinion, it would be more appropriate to refer to the common people.

Because in the end, whether it is resisting aggression, overthrowing the landlord exploiting class, or defeating provocations from powerful countries, it is all the power of the small people.

What Li Yi wants is to make Xiaomin Haohao indestructible as soon as possible, so that the real master of this world can awaken his power.

But he also knew that it was almost impossible to do it now. Otherwise, he would have settled down in Tianliang Village a long time ago and relied on the opportunity of the current boiling public dissatisfaction to rapidly expand his power and start a huge peasant uprising.

Some people may say that Li Yi is fully capable of doing this, but Li Yi is self-aware, because more than two hundred years later, a person with similar ideas to him did such a thing.

But in the end, that man failed. And the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom he established also went to destruction amid its short-lived glory.

In this uprising that shook the entire empire, the Han Dynasty gained power through political conspiracy, the Manchu emperor maintained his rule, and the foreigners gained huge wealth. Only the ordinary people, who suffered tens of thousands of casualties, still lived.

In dire straits.

Taking history as a guide, now is definitely not a suitable moment. Li Yi knew that even if he did it, at most he would be like Li Zicheng and other bandits, plundering and fleeing everywhere, destroying production, consuming officers and soldiers, and finally stepping on the bones of tens of millions of people to reach the top position.

He despises this approach and will never do it.

"What is the stone? Come on and let everyone hear it?" the old patriarch urged from the side.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Li Yi smiled slightly, because this was really difficult to explain.

It is not difficult to gather the power of ordinary people, but the most difficult thing is to make them understand what kind of world they want to build.

What I want to do is to first let the folks in Anxin understand the world and understand the unreasonableness in it. Only in this way will everyone be able to conceive, yearn for a better world, and be willing to fight for it.

Just like the birth of New China, it has a lot to do with many movements that enlightened people's wisdom and gathered strength. It was the May Fourth Movement that aroused everyone's patriotic feelings, workers' strikes to oppose exploitation and oppression, and the New Culture Movement.

Only by opening up the people's wisdom and waiting for these movements can we have a true people's country, a country of small people, and a country of communism.

To achieve this goal, the only thing Li Yi can do now is to first make everyone literate and sensible.

But for the old patriarch and the others, why they should teach everyone how to read is not so natural.

He thought for a while and said: "I want everyone to learn literacy. Firstly, they can understand government orders and facilitate education. Secondly, they can also judge right and wrong, know etiquette and make clear decisions. These do not consume too much lamp oil, and are not difficult. But they can

Cultivating a group of capable people is extremely beneficial."

Li Yi briefly stated the reason. Although it was not very convincing, it was acceptable.

Zhao Renchang nodded and said: "Although Anxin is now working hard to build a new town and everything is fine, it can be regarded as a mixed bag of good and bad, with many fights. The Baochang is a person who handles disputes. If he can be specially trained, it will be extremely useful.

"

The villagers in Anxin are divided into three types. One is the refugees from the northwest, the other is the local fugitives, and the third is the surrendered bandits. There are many differences between these three types of people, and disputes can easily break out and lead to group fights. Zhao Renchang is the

He is a scholar, not a bookworm, so he is keenly aware of this problem.

Everyone agreed, so the matter was considered approved.

After that, Li Yi discussed with everyone the establishment of a nursing home for the elderly. Now that the nursing home has not been formed yet, it is okay for Li Yi and others to discuss and decide in private. If the nursing home is established, important matters will of course need to be discussed by the nursing home.

.

Doing so is not conducive to absolute control. The old patriarch also said privately at the time that the establishment of the rural nursing home could be temporarily postponed in order to ensure Li Yi's absolute leadership, but Li Yi refused.

The reason why Li Yi proposed the component rural nursing home was to give Anxin a good autonomous system. He understood himself very well. In such a large environment, Anxin could only temporarily accumulate strength on his own.

place, one day, I will go to a broader battlefield to fight.

At that time, he hoped that An Xin could reassure him and become his solid backing.
