Looking at everything in front of you, this was shocking enough for Liu Yan and others.

Although both Tianqiaofang and Qingpingfang are actually located in the marginal areas of the capital, they are all located in a relatively low-lying area of ​​the capital.

Not only that, if you are a permanent residence in the capital, you probably know that Tianqiaofang is better than Qingpingfang.

Tianqiaofang is so severely affected, there is no reason why Qingpingfang is not affected.

But here, there is no trace of heavy rainstorms that have caused disasters here for days.

Of course, if you find it carefully, it is not without it.

For example, in the corners of some houses, there is indeed some water accumulation.

At this time, you can see some people wearing soap clothes sprinkle a kind of powder on these places where water is accumulated.

Looking at these soap-clothed men, Liu Yan felt a natural sense of superiority. They looked for a soap-clothed man and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Spread lime." The man replied, quite kind.

"What are you doing with lime?"

"There is a command for inspection. After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. The neighborhoods must be disinfected, especially when there are water and filthy corners, lime must be sprinkled with disinfection. This will prevent possible epidemics, especially when summer is coming, and after heavy rain, mosquitoes will breed, so you must be even more careful."

After saying that, the soap-clothed man started to transfer houses again, scattering one by one to find places with puddles.

They are obviously very careful and will not let go of any corner.

Of course, Liu Yan and others didn't know that the disinfection work has become the top priority now and the top priority for evaluation. All the pressure has reached the street chief and alley chief. These street chiefs and alley chiefs are afraid of something going on, so they have to patrol their own streets almost every day to avoid the health officer of the inspection department from finding out anything.

The street manager and alley manager inspected every day, and even the servants at the bottom did not dare to neglect them. These layers of pressure finally fell on them. If they were slacking off, they would take it out at any time.

Can lime be disinfected?

Of course, Liu Yan didn't understand this either.

But what surprised him was that Tianqiaofang was collecting corpses, but here he was bored so much that he was sprinkling lime into the remote water.

What is even more surprising is not this, but these soap-clothed men far exceed his imagination.

Before becoming officials, everyone who stands here is a scholar from various prefectures and counties. In terms of local conditions, they naturally discriminate against minor officials.

There are many reasons for this kind of discrimination. On the one hand, it is indeed that scholars have a natural sense of superiority.

This is also inseparable from the problems of the servants themselves, because no matter what kind of officials they are, their performance is mostly manifested as "greed" and "lazy".

They deceive Shangguan, and they are perfunctory and oppressing the people. They have heard of this in the local area!

Any local parent officials appointed by the court, the most complaints are that minor officials deceive their superiors and hide their subordinates and cannot control them at all. When they can see them, they will show respect to you, but when you can't see them, they will be lazy and will not take you seriously.

But everything in front of you is incredible.

These soap-clothed men were obviously very careful. When inspecting places that were invisible, they also carefully searched for various ditches and puddles, and then sprinkled with the powder they carried.

This is what later generations say, that is, there is enthusiasm for work and strong subjective initiative in work.

Liu Yan became suspicious, did these people take the wrong medicine?

In my ears, a censor couldn't help but say, "Officials are deceitful and deceitful and deceitful, and the people are deceitful. This is a chronic disease of all dynasties. I just didn't expect that there would be such a trend here..."

Liu Yan glanced at the censor, who seemed to feel absurd.

Yes, why do I praise Qingpingfang?

Which side are you on?

But... it really blurted out, and... it was really that way.

Liu Yan felt more and more that something was strange at this time.

The group continued to move forward, and the more they looked, the more frightened they felt.

It is very lively, especially when you walk through the commercial area. Hundreds of shops are open one by one, and there are shouts of business everywhere, with pedestrians everywhere, as if the storm has not happened.

Going further forward, it is a schoolhouse.

This school was obviously changed by the Chenghuang Temple in the past.

Some nearby houses were collected and a big sign was hung outside: "Qingping Primary School."

Inside, the sound of Lang Lang reading was faintly heard.

In addition to the school club, there are also several shops, which mainly sell pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and one or two book shops.

Liu Yan felt relieved when he heard the sound of reading.

This reminded him of the scenes when he was young, as if he was in a dream, and memories were always beautiful. Although he had been beaten by his teacher in the clan school, he still thought about it so far, wasn’t that the starting point of his glorious life?

Everything is inferior, but reading is high.

He felt a little excited and walked straight to the shop. He saw a businessman standing at the door of the shop.

When the guy saw the visiting person, he immediately said enthusiastically: "Your guest wants to buy books?"

Liu Yan pointed at the school and said, "Which family's clan school is this?"

You should know that most of the primary schools in this era were carried out in the form of a family. If the local famous families would establish clan studies to be offered to the children of the clan.

However, there are generally no such large-scale ethnic schools in the capital, because there are very few prosperous families in the capital, after all, there are many foreign populations.

The guy smiled and said, "This is not a clan school, this is a school run by the inspection department."

"The school run by the Inspection Department? How many students are there?" Someone couldn't help asking.

The guy said truthfully: "There are probably three or five hundred."

Three or five hundred...

Someone was sucking in the air conditioner and looked surprised.

This number is amazing.

Even local wealthy families generally cannot run such a large-scale primary school.

After all, the family has only so many people, and not all the tribes can go to school.

As for ordinary people...

Reading? This is impossible. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the cost of reading. Moreover, reading is not very useful to ordinary people. After all, not everyone can take the exam for fame.

Liu Yan said in surprise: "There are only two or three thousand households in Qingpingfang. How can so many students come?"

The shop's shop's staff said, "The inspection department encourages and promotes it. There is an education chief in the inspection department who can encourage people to study in addition to building schools. Of course, there is no way for everyone to send their children to school. In Qingpingfang, men are working. Look, like me, I work all day in this book shop, but now I am also in the fabric. How can I feel at ease when I leave this child at home? Moreover, children over twelve are strictly prohibited from working in this shop. To put it bluntly, we don't care about the children from morning to night and send them to school. We can't spend a lot of money every month, so we just let him read some books, which may be of some benefit. Otherwise, we just treat the child as a child to the school club and someone is taking care of them, at least feel at ease. Now, everyone in Qingpingfang is doing this."

It's new, I'm rushing to send my child to school.

In fact, Liu Yan was already very shocked. He looked up and down at the guy in front of him.

Just such a guy, his kids go to school?

This is definitely a thing of the past.

There have never been any such children who have read in all dynasties.

But the guy said it very seriously, not like a lie.

Suddenly, the officials became turbulent.

Someone began to whisper: "Do we still scold Qingpingfang?"

"There are so many students?"

"I listen to so much reading, but I'm afraid it's more or less."

"Oh, this is good governance."

"Yes, in the past, when parents and officials wanted to educate, they could not educate a few people. It was like here, and everyone rushed to send their children."

At this time, the sound of reading was faintly heard from over there: "A man is born with good nature... his nature is similar and his habits are different. If he does not teach, his nature will change."

This time, the listeners became even more enthusiastic.

It is the content of the saint's education.

Think about it, such a large-scale education...

Liu Yan suddenly felt that his head was in chaos.

Although someone else whispered: "This is Zhang Jingyi's conspiracy..."

But……

The person who said this was obviously not confident enough.

The morale of the army was shaken.

"What should we do? Let's still give advice if we don't give advice?"

"Have you ever heard of the death admonition giving up halfway? You should be laughed at by the people of the world."

"But I...I...I don't want to advise..."

There are all kinds of sounds.

Everyone was aimless, and for a moment, they didn't know what to do.
To be continued...
