The Gu Family School has been completed, and people are starting to register. Classes will officially begin in two months.
Literacy classes have already been running for some time.
This means that the people of Kuncheng are forced to learn to read. The Gu family provides the venue and the teacher. Gu Shouxin requires that everyone must learn all the commonly used characters within three years.
Regardless of age or gender, everyone must learn, starting with Kuncheng.
Qian Liangduo was in charge of this matter. He had divided the people of Kuncheng into several groups and was using their free time to teach them in batches, with fixed homework every day. You don't have to know how to write, but you must be able to recognize characters.
Gu Shouxin had a paper mill, and Gu Nian also provided blackboards and chalk. Apart from paying the teacher's wages and the space required, it didn't cost much at all.
The Gu family's businesses are so profitable that they can be described as making a fortune every day.
Since he was going to develop Kunzhou, Gu Shouxin was planning to make a big splash.
Therefore, Gu Xin felt inspired and thought that since everyone was gradually becoming literate, she should create a unique reading material for Kunzhou that could encourage everyone to learn every day.
"Isn't that a newspaper?" Gu Ren exclaimed, looking at Gu Nian in disbelief.
Gu Nian didn't even look at him. This was something Gu Xin came up with herself, and she hadn't mentioned it at all.
Moreover, she carried everything herself, and she was worried that others would think she was a freak. If Xin Xin could think of something, that would be the best; she could just focus on inventing things.
"Newspaper?" Gu Xin turned to look at Gu Ren.
"Oh, just like the official gazettes that Second Uncle usually receives. Isn't that right?" Gu Ren asked, looking rather naive.
"Anyway, it's about keeping it simple and fun so that everyone enjoys watching it. If people can't read, they can't watch it, so wouldn't that encourage everyone to work hard to learn to read?" Gu Xin asked.
“I’ve thought about this before. Like Sister Xinxin said, we can make it simple and clean. We can start with some simple words and gradually add more complex ones. Everyone will learn a little and read it. Some of them you won’t recognize, but you can understand some of them. The content will be different every day, and everyone’s life will be richer.” Huo Yanyu said, stroking her chin.
“Yes! It can contain some more relatable content, such as introducing the fruits that Uncle grows, their health benefits, and how to grow them. It can also include some of the new regulations issued by our government office,” Gu Xin said.
“This sounds fun, I think it’s a good idea! Xin Xin, have your second uncle write a letter to the Emperor, asking him to start doing it simultaneously in the capital and Kuncheng. There are more literate people in the capital, so this will definitely work.” Princess Jinghe understood and suggested.
Gu Nian directly instructed Gu Ren to bring over the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone: "I'll draw it according to what you said, and it will be clearer when drawn."
Gu Ren looked at the group of sisters around him. Well, he wrote the book; he brought this mess on himself!
After bringing the items over, Gu Nian picked up a pen and drew a simplified version of a newspaper. Gu Xin's eyes brightened: "Wow! Sister, that's it, that's it! Sister, you're so amazing! I couldn't figure it out before, but after you drew it like this, my thoughts suddenly became clear!"
The group of Gu Nian gathered together, chattering about what each place was used for.
There are three transmigrators here: Gu Nian, Gu Ren, and Gu Yingxue. If we only mention one point, others could offer many more.
They finalized the layout in one day and discussed it with their families that evening.
