One day, the people of Xinhua City suddenly saw a new decree posted in the city hall, a rare new decree issued without any preview, that is, all illiterate people must compulsory participation in a course called voluntary literacy.

All illiterate people must go to Chengren College of Xinhua Academy to learn to recognize words at night. They must go and learn. This is a rare reading order in Xinhua City.

Of course, this time the reading order has caused extremely widespread discussion in Xinhua City.

"What's wrong with the prince this time? Why do you have to study and learn to read?"

"I don't know either. If you can't go to study, just study. Didn't the announcement say that it doesn't cost money."

"The problem is that I haven't read any words for so many years. Is it still necessary to read words now?"

"Of course it is necessary. Now you often sign something called "contract". You can't always ask me to show you. There is also the decree issued by the city hall. You can't bring me over to read it to you every time there is a new decree."

"Isn't this a pity to bother those 'instructors' when they grow old?"

"Then you're embarrassed to always bother me? You'd better read some books and read some words."

The "contracts" and "instructors" mentioned by the people are all things that Zhao Weiji has created. If the factions are divided according to the ancient Hundred Schools of Thoughts, Zhao Weiji is a complete Legalist.

He did not believe in the rule of man, so when the laws in Xinhua City were issued, he completely turned to the Legalist philosophy and ruled the country according to law.

"Contract" is what he created under this concept. He has a provision in the law that whenever the amount of business exceeds a certain amount, the buyer and seller must sign a contract, and the contract must include the transaction amount, quantity of items, trading time and place of the buyer and seller. Also, what kind of compensation will be paid if the contract is breached or what kind of punishment will be imposed if the goods are not appropriate. After these are stipulated, both parties must sign and seal, and then find the guarantor to sign and seal. Finally, the contract will be sent to the exchange for filing.

The reason for this is that Zhao Weiji hopes to protect the interests of both buyers and sellers to the greatest extent.

However, even so, there is no loophole to take advantage of. For example, one party is illiterate, or has a deviation in the understanding of certain chapters and sentences in the contract, which will lead to the interests of the shipbuilder.

The best way to solve this problem is to make all people able to read and read.

As for the "instructor", it was something that Zhao Weiji had come up with. At that time, there were too many illiterate people, so these instructors came to help these illiterate people so that they could understand the contract or the newly issued decree.

Although these instructors are obliged to help the people and their salaries are paid by the city hall, some people are still embarrassed to bother with these instructors.

Against this background, and with a forced order, the Chengren Academy almost burst the entire academy on the day of school.

In desperation, all the teachers except Tongmeng Academy were called to teach these illiterate Chengren to read. Those students who originally wanted to study in other academies were temporarily hired to teach others to read and read.

"Prince, I'm going to go too?"

Basically, the entire Xinhua City can teach at night, and even Zhao Weiji is now in a class. However, although the staff is a bit short of people, Zhao Weiji has not yet asked women to teach men, so Fujiwara Kako has not been included in the scope of consideration by him.

"Forget it, many students are young men with strong spirits. Don't cause any trouble if you go."

"Oh, then what should I do now what I learned from Mr. Li?"

Nowadays, under the background of literacy for all members, even Mr. Li Zhicai can only teach people to read with underestimation. Zhao Weiji really doesn't know if Mr. Li is free to teach Fujiwara Kako again.

"You go and talk to Mr. Li. If the teacher can take the time to teach you, you can seize the opportunity."

"Okay, I'll go to talk to the gentleman tomorrow." After saying that, Fujiwara Kako was about to leave, and at this moment Zhao Weiji called her.

"By the way, you can prepare it too. Once the Women's College is started, you will be the chief female lady."

"Me?" After hearing Zhao Weiji's words, Fujiwara Kako was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to believe what Zhao Weiji said.

"There is no one here, but you don't have anyone else."

"I can't do it."

"With your knowledge, it's more than enough to be a gentleman, not to mention that we can't find a female gentleman here for the time being. It's not you, but you."

"Oh, then I'll try my best." After saying that, Fujiwara Kako left. However, from her back, Zhao Weiji could see that she was still a little excited, after all, this was a kind of recognition.

Just after seeing off Fujiwara Kako, Zhao Weiji welcomed Linghu Huang again.

"Yao said, don't you need to prepare lessons?"

"Prince, stop teasing me, something happened."

"What's the matter? The Song Dynasty sent troops to conquer us?"

"No, how could the Song Dynasty come to conquer us? We have neighbors."

When Zhao Weiji heard Linghu Huang's words, he was stunned for a moment, neighbors? What did he sing? Now the neighbors in Xinhua City have nothing but North American bison.

"What did you say? Neighbor? Did the bison become a sperm?"

"Prince, can you stop making trouble? There are a group of natives. I heard from Snow that those people are the Chinese survivors you mentioned."

"Chinese Remnants." It turned out that it was the Indians who came, which made Zhao Weiji a little unexpected, because the Indians of this era either concentrated on the east coast or in the later Mexico area. Xinhua City is located in the center of the west coast, and there are no Indians in this area.

"When did they come?"

"I don't know, but today we are going out hunting and met this group of people. Then it seems that there was a conflict over some prey dispute. Now Snow is adjusting there."

"Oh, that's it, do I need to go and see?"

"You'd better go there."

Since Linghu Huang said this, Zhao Weiji could not refuse, and he also wanted to see how many Indians moved to the vicinity of Xinhua City.

So the two set off immediately.

The two immediately saw a group of people gathered together shortly after Xinhua City. From the clothes and outfits of both sides, they could understand that these were the group of Xinhua City hunters and Indians who were in conflict.

When Zhao Weiji saw them, some of them also saw Zhao Weiji and Linghu Huang.

"The prince is here." With just one sentence, the people in Xinhua City stopped being nervous about the Indians and turned to look at the direction where Zhao Weiji and Linghu Huang came.

At the same time, the Indians also looked in that direction, because the actions of the people in Xinhua City aroused their curiosity.

Snow, who was between the two parties, also saw Zhao Weiji. Zhao Weiji's arrival made him finally relieved. The two parties had been arguing for a long time and were almost fighting.

So Snow hurriedly greeted him, "Prince, you are finally here."

"What's going on?"

When he heard Zhao Weiji's question, Snow told him the whole story.

It turned out that hunters in Xinhua City came out to hunt as before, but they did not expect that a group of Indians migrated to this nearby recently.

And this group of Indians actually classified this hunting ground as their own private hunting ground. Naturally, the hunters in Xinhua City did not know all this, so they entered the hunting ground to hunt as usual.

But after they finished hunting, these Indians appeared, and they asked the hunters to either leave their prey or leave gold.

But the hunters couldn't understand what they were saying, so the two conflicted.

However, because someone in the hunter knew Snow and knew something about Snow, he ran back to the city and found Snow.

When Snow came, he thought that language barriers were just caused by communication, but he didn't expect that after he translated the Indians' request, it would be a problem of language barriers.

The hunters of Xinhua City must not agree to the Indian request. Don’t say that this hunting ground is originally a homeless land. Even if you want to establish a master, you should be the hunters of Xinhua City who have been hunting in this hunting ground for a long time.

So the double customs became stalemate, and the contradictions became increasingly fierce. According to Snow's estimate, if Zhao Weiji did not come to double customs again, he would fight.

"Oh, that's how it's going to be, but then again, how could you come out to hunt? Haven't we started breeding and grazing livestock?"

This is exactly what Zhao Weiji felt strange. Except for the large-scale hunting activities in the early days of the city's founding, when everything in Xinhua City gradually began to improve, hunting activities gradually decreased. Especially after the development of animal husbandry, basically no one made a living by hunting.

After all, there are no animals like tigers and brown bears living nearby, and no one comes out to hunt.

"When it comes to the prince, we were just hunters before, and later we did something else. But recently we got together again during class, so we discussed what day the weather was good and we went out to hunt and play together. Unexpectedly, we encountered such a thing."

"Then do you have any opinions on this matter?"

"Actually, we don't really value these preys. After all, no one of us lives on these preys anymore. We just feel that we can't swallow this breath. After all, if it's time, we'll hunt here too long before these people."

"That's right, but they will definitely not give up easily in this situation, but can you leave this matter to me?"

"Okay, prince, just do what you say."

So Zhao Weiji officially began to intervene in this matter.
