Exquisite silks, fresh fruits and vegetables, and a dazzling array of trinkets... everything is available, attracting the attention of passersby.

Occasionally, small vendors would carry their wares on shoulder poles along the street, their clear and loud calls rising and falling: "Fresh candied hawthorns! Sweet and crisp!"

"The buns are fresh out of the oven and still warm!"

These sounds, full of life and warmth, intertwine, adding boundless vitality and energy to the city.

On the street, there were also acrobats performing, their unique skills attracting passersby to stop and watch.

A man tossed the jar high into the air and caught it steadily, his movements skillful and fluid, earning cheers from the crowd.

The other person breathed fire, and flames instantly rose up, eliciting gasps from the children and creating a lively atmosphere.

Qin Qianluo watched all this quietly, her eyes filled with relief and emotion, and a surge of warmth welled up in her heart.

That was pride in the fruits of their labor, and also boundless anticipation for the future of Tianxuan.

A bright smile unconsciously bloomed on her face, even though the world before her was still different from modern times.

But this ancient society has undergone earth-shattering changes, and the prosperous age she has always dreamed of is now within reach.

Qin Qian landed in the study, enveloped in soft light.

Sunlight streamed through the carved window lattice, like fine golden gauze, gently falling on the densely written plan on the paper in her hand.

Her eyes followed the words line by line, and her past efforts and achievements played back before her eyes like a movie.

From meticulous planning to improve people's livelihoods to bold innovations in commerce and trade.

From the improvement of agricultural technology to the grand layout of urban construction, every single thing is the culmination of her hard work.

The ideas that had been repeatedly sculpted in their minds have taken root and blossomed on this ancient land thanks to the tireless efforts of the Tianxuan people.

Looking at the completed tasks, a fleeting sense of relief crossed her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a solemn expression.

Establishing schools was a grand vision she always cherished in her heart.

In her vision, establishing a nine-year compulsory education system as comprehensive as modern ones is the key to changing the fate of this ancient country.

She has a profound understanding of the modern education system, where knowledge is like a universal key.

It breaks down the rigid barriers between social classes, opening up countless paths to success for people.

In this era, if children from ordinary families can obtain educational opportunities, it will be a turning point that changes their lives.

Even though various real-world factors may make it difficult to achieve the goal of nine-year compulsory education in the short term.

However, as a second-best option, implementing six years of compulsory education is also of great significance to the people.

She seemed to see those children who had been shut out of knowledge because of their poor backgrounds.

Being able to sit in a bright classroom, recite classics, and write about the future, allows one to find their own direction in life outside of the imperial examination system.

From a national perspective, attracting and cultivating talent is fundamental to the country's long-term stability, prosperity, and strength.

However, Qin Qianluo knew in her heart that the road to enlightening the people was full of thorns.

In the imperial court, conservative officials, clinging to outdated and corrupt ideas, viewed any change that might threaten the existing order as a formidable enemy.

They are cautious, conservative, and accustomed to established ruling models, and are deeply concerned about the potential chain reaction that the popularization of education might trigger.

The powerful and influential families have deep roots in this land, having monopolized knowledge resources for generations.

They viewed education as a stronghold to maintain family privileges and the widespread dissemination of knowledge as a fatal threat to their own interests.

Overcoming the dual obstacles of the imperial court and powerful families is no less difficult than climbing a steep and treacherous cliff; every step forward requires unimaginable hardship.

In ancient times, most rulers believed in the policy of keeping the people ignorant, thinking that the ignorance of the people was the cornerstone of their stable rule.

To reverse this traditional view is tantamount to engaging in a breathtaking head-on confrontation with deeply ingrained traditional thinking and a huge vested interest group.

Qin Qianlu frowned slightly, her fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the table as she fell into deep thought.

Driven by a series of effective reform measures, the national treasury has gradually escaped the predicament of insufficient revenue and is slowly becoming more substantial.

However, establishing education is by no means a simple matter of financial investment; it is a massive undertaking that requires long-term and substantial financial support.

In the first few years or even a decade or so, you may only see a continuous outflow of funds, but it will be difficult to achieve significant results in the short term.

The selection and construction of each school, from the building of classrooms to the creation of desks and chairs.

The hiring and training of each teacher ranges from the instruction of teaching methods to the enhancement of academic literacy.

The writing and printing of each textbook, from content selection to layout design, requires a huge amount of money.

This enormous expenditure is undoubtedly a formidable obstacle for the national treasury, which has only recently begun to recover.

As a result, the emperor and court officials will most likely have many concerns about this plan.
