Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)
Hall read write
Everyone flocked to the streets to see the march of their new emperor, the face full of falsified smiles staring around peacefully as it waved its hand. But, Wu Li Mei actually looked at them without the slightest interest, the concubine just glanced curiously and returned to scooping her seaweed soup. The Emperor did not escape to observe how the beautiful face looked very disliked those who were sitting on palanquins while throwing gold coins to the residents.
The Emperor only kept silent and observed for a while, especially as Wu Li Mei screeched and continued stirring her food. “Actually what's bothering you, Mei’er? You don't like seeing them?” ask emperor.
Wu Li Mei forced both corners of her lips to smile, “Does it look so obvious?”
“Yes, you weren't good at lying long ago.”
“I really don't like them, I'm sure those people won't like it either if they know who the person they're glorifying is.” Wu Li Mei turned to Wu Zhen's entourage who stopped and delivered a speech in front of his people.
The eatery chosen by the emperor this time was a large building with two floors, and they were on the upper floor devoted to the nobles. From up here, the sickening sight for Wu Li Mei was clearly visible. Wu Zhen and the new empress were paraded around the city and delivered speeches in several crowd centers, everyone cheering and worshipping their new emperor. “Are we not supposed to go? I'm sick of them.”
“Alright, if that's what you want.”
Emperor Zhou took out a bag of money from his hanfunya arm, he put down some gold metal pieces to pay for their food. Without waiting again they immediately left the store. The destination was not that place, they just stopped by to fill their stomachs as it was still very early morning as they went to visit the city secretly. Disguise is what they usually do, it is not difficult at all to adjust to the ordinary people there. There was actually only one place that Wu Li Mei really wanted to visit was the education hall. A medium-sized building without doors and windows, there are only wooden tiles and shelves containing books. At the very front there is a board and stationery made of simple chalk.
Reading Hall Write, that's how the nameplate named this place. Not only Wu Li Mei, but the emperor was made agape with children dressed in tatters and looked tangled were learning to read letters and numbers in the hall. There was one scholar whose duty was to teach them, patiently and diligently.
“What is this?” the emperor was still very confused.
Wu Li Mei pointed to the board, “Balai read and write, this is the place to learn to read and write.”
“But.. they are common people.”.
“That's the superiority of this country, Your Majesty, ehh!” Wu Li Mei patted her lips as she accidentally summoned the emperor in public, it was fortunate that no one suspected them. “This is one of the advantages of this country, its people can read and write, at least almost all residents can understand letters and numbers. Education is very important, a country can be prosperous because its people are good at reading and writing.”
The emperor was made speechless, the man looked at Wu Li Mei and the hall took turns. After being looked at even deeper, it was true what the concubine said. This hall is made specifically for people to learn to read and write, not only children but also adults who participate in learning activities. “What can this kind of thing be done? Only those from the nobility can get Mei’er education, aren't they already presumptuous? Why didn't the empire punish them.”
“The books are his witness!”
“It is very unreasonable.” Resist emperor.
“Not make sense? How could? I myself asked my father and mother about this hall, how can you say this makes no sense.” Wu Li Mei ruffled her waist to look at the emperor equally fiercely, “Try now think of the importance of education for humans, if you as the emperor could not read and write, what would happen? Of course you're going to be stupid and easy to cheat. Same with those people.”
“How dare you equate me with them, obviously nothing will compare!”
Wu Li Mei rolled her eyes lazily, the emperor seemed to be unable to accept if the common people also obtained the same education as the nobles. Living in a palace environment that upholds dignity and dignity, Emperor Zhou grew up to be a high-hearted person because since childhood he had been taught to visit their own degrees. “But look again at how this country is so advanced, bulletin boards are everywhere, many writers of poetry, as well as many great literary works and are here. Isn't that great? Ming Country can definitely become even more powerful with this new system.”
“Why didn't you build an education hall for ordinary people in the city first? I'm willing to be a mentor if the scholars no one wants.”
Emperor Zhou gawked then turned around, “Have Mei’er, just keep that dream of yours, commoners will not be able to read and write. They have been born into slaves and lowly workers, nothing will change if they can read.”
“There!” Wu Li Mei restrained the emperor's arm that was about to leave, “I'm sure there is, I'll prove it, Your Majesty!”
“Just save your dream because I won't do it.”
“Then I will make it!” challenge the great concubine, the woman ruffled her waist and stopped her steps. He looked at the emperor's back which slowly started to turn around, “If you don't want to, then it doesn't matter, I'll build it myself with all my treasures. Don't be so sorry, Your Majesty, education is very important for a civilization, if you dare to imitate this good policy then satisfactory results will you achieve.”
“You just go believe that this will be done, maybe at the beginning will not work well but all it is a process.”
“I really think about the lives of the people, it's a pity you don't want to accept my idea.” Wu Li Mei.
The grand concubine raised her chin high with both hands folded, Wu Li Mei was like reluctant to leave and this would be very troublesome. Recalling how stubborn the great concubine was, the emperor sighed deeply. “Alright if that's what you want, I'll do it, Mei’er.”
