But so what?

Depression was prevalent in that society; eight out of ten people were depressed, and even several high school students would jump out of school each semester.

Happiness has nothing to do with how much material wealth one has.

Happiness has nothing to do with the speed of the pace.

Social status is never determined by how much resources you have, but by what you have that you don't, and what you have that you have better.

Guan Yingying said to Xie Zhaozhao, "So what if you become emperor? The whole country is ignorant and illiterate. They don't even have books, and they can't even afford paper. Let me tell you, in our time, we had nine years of compulsory education!"

Xie Zhaozhao feigned surprise at the opportune moment: "It's free?"

“Yes…” Guan Yingying began to speak at length.

She used to hate studying terribly in high school, but now she is truly grateful that it was the education she is most proud of.

This conversation lasted for two hours.

During the meeting, Xie Zhaozhao asked a few questions.

"Pencils seem to have a high production cost."

Does writing with a quill pen look nice?

Guan Yingying was very proud; this "I know you don't know, the emperor looks so stupid" feeling was so exhilarating!

Talk, talk, talk! Talk with all your might!

Until it got dark.

Xie Zhaozhao asked Yuanyuan to take her back to the prison.

Yuanyuan asked, "Should we reward her?"

"Put her in solitary confinement and forbid anyone from communicating with her. Give her an extra chicken leg with her meal today and tell her she spoke very well," Xie Zhaozhao instructed.

This person is full of malice. If released, he might just concoct another panacea. If killed, who knows who might possess his body.

Just lock him up; as long as he doesn't die, that's fine.

After Guan Yingying left, Bei Chen ordered someone to take the screen away.

On the table behind the screen, Ling Xun had filled twenty sheets of paper with notes.

Xie Zhaozhao was very satisfied with the diagram drawn by Guan Yingying and said to Ling Xun, "You and Emperor Chen can learn from compulsory education and implement it in stages in the Jade Dragon Kingdom."
