Feng Yichen followed behind the two, and said bitterly: "Ignorant women and children, is mowing the grass more important than going to school?
Never heard of it, this book has its own Yan Ruyu, does it have its own golden house?
Everything is inferior, but reading is high. After reading and knowing how to read, even if you work as an accountant for others in the future, it will be much better than working in the sun on the ridge of the field? "
He Wenhao is not surprised by these current situations: "You have said that these people are ignorant women and children. Since they are ignorant, how can they know these truths?"
Feng Yichen: "..."
Feng Shaojin said: "The sage said: 'The barn is solid and you know the etiquette, and you know the shame if you have enough food and clothing'. It means that if the common people have food in their homes, they will know the books and rituals, and they will not worry about food and clothing, so they will pursue propriety, justice and shame!
The war in the south resulted in countless deaths and injuries, and many families lost their young and strong labor force. It was really difficult for women and children to support a family.
For the sake of future generations, it is normal for a woman with a long-term vision to send her children to private schools or schools.
But some women support a family alone, worry about three meals a day, go to school to study hard, maybe the young children in the family will starve to death, they don’t want to send their children to school, let them help From their point of view, it makes sense to deal with family affairs. "
Although Feng Shaojin lived affluently since he was a child, he lived in his grandmother's house for a period of time, and he was extremely sympathetic and empathetic to those poor families.
When Feng Yichen heard it, he also felt that it made some sense. Compared with going to school, it's better to live without hunger.
He Wenhao and Renzhi didn't expect Feng Shaojin to look at the problem in this way, "Young Master Shaojin said that the south is different from the north.
The northerners lived at the feet of the emperor for a long time, and the imperial examinations were also held in Jincheng, and they always attached importance to the education of the younger generation.
But the south is rich, and there are many families who started business. Some ordinary people without foresight think that there may not be a better way out by studying. In terms of education, only Yuncheng and the cities closer to Yuncheng pay more attention to education.
This is not the case when it comes to folk or even more backward remote mountainous areas.
These people, even if they are alive, have already exhausted a lot of energy, how can they have the energy to go to school and study..."
Mo Lingwei said softly: "If this continues, the poor will become poorer and the rich will become richer. Accumulated from generation to generation, there will be a gap between poverty and wealth."
The corners of He Wenhao's lips twitched slightly, and he said with a light smile: "There are always high and low in all occupations in this world. Those who are capable should naturally do noble jobs, and those who are incapable, if they want to survive, they just have to do it." To be able to do the menial jobs that are hard and tiring.
If their ancestors have been unwilling to seek a future for their descendants for generations, it is actually quite normal to fall to that point. "
Mo Lingwei somewhat disagreed: "That being said, a strong youth makes a country strong, and if Yuncheng wants to restore its former prosperity, or even surpass its heyday, it will definitely take a generation of effort.
If these children are allowed to be dull, they will only repeat the old ways of their ancestors and make no progress.
If these children are sent to school for enlightenment, read the books of sages, and know the thoughts of wise men and the principles of life, they may change their minds, work hard, and become the hope of the family by themselves. the elders! "
