Chapter 579: Madness (2)_1
"What a good plan," Situ Gong exclaimed.
The methods proposed by Lin Ziyin would harness the potential of almost everyone in the Northern Land.
"Given that the people in Border City live in a dangerous area, we can reduce their grain tax by ten percent. In the free schools, martial arts will be the main subject of teaching, but we won’t neglect academic studies. All children aged six to fourteen must attend school," said Lin Ziyin.

"Most importantly, we must make the people feel a sense of belonging to the Northern Land and ensure that their safety, honor, and properties are closely linked to the survival of the Northern Land." In modern military schools, ideological education plays a significant role.
Belief is the first step for people to foster a sense of belonging to their place.

In Chu Suifeng’s eyes, there was more than just admiration; there was a sense of pride. He was pleased that he had unintentionally found a treasure. Indeed, while people of Daqin laughed at him for choosing a peasant girl as his future queen, little did they know that this girl was indeed a gem.

No one expected that he would end up being the biggest winner of all.
