Chapter 221 What is people's livelihood?

"The strategies for scientific expeditions also involve issues of people's livelihood. You know nothing about this, and the articles you write are too empty."

What happens after the scientific expedition?

Some people passed the imperial examinations and entered officialdom. As a local official, if you don't understand the people's livelihood, isn't that a joke? The imperial court pays salaries and various subsidies to officials precisely to ensure they serve the court and benefit the people.

There are also some people who may never reach the final peak in their entire lives. Shouldn't we understand people's livelihoods even more?

To live, one needs to eat and wear clothes. These things don't fall from the sky; they are earned through the hard work of your family.

Regardless of whether you come from a farming family, an official family, or any other family, shouldn't you all have a skill to make a living?

Jiang Shuyun's words silenced the students below.

For most of them, the main purpose of life is reading; they really don't understand or care about anything else.

Jiang Shuyun didn't know whether her words today would resonate with some of the students.

He was merely fulfilling his duty as a teacher, telling them things that only a few cared about. However, these things were of paramount importance to the entire court.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

No matter when or what era, ordinary people, who may seem insignificant, are the most important part of the entire country.

Jiang Shuyun also hopes that these students, no matter what they do in the future, will at least be kind people.
