“Yes, while the industrial district is under construction, now is the time to build the Bowen Academy as well. This way, the common people in the fief will have a place to study,” Xiao Ming said.
As more and more people joined the Bowen Academy for classes, the current space was becoming increasingly inadequate.
Thus, Xiao Ming decided to build a proper academy, the first comprehensive school close to a modern educational institution.
The academy would cover a large area and integrate various specialized disciplines. The textbooks he had been writing day and night were prepared for the Bowen Academy.
Given that education in Qingzhou was essentially starting from scratch, and he couldn’t create countless clones like a ninja, Xiao Ming had to adopt a method where senior students taught junior students.
He only needed to teach the highest-level students, and the knowledge would be passed down layer by layer.
In isolated civilizations, people often grow complacent with their current lives and show little interest in change, which is extremely dangerous.
In modern times, it wasn’t until the cannons of foreign powers blasted open the doors of the isolated civilization that the entire society woke up and sought change. But by then, it was already too late.
Therefore, Xiao Ming wanted to spread different ideas throughout his fief to break the long-standing cultural constraints and awaken the people of the Great Yu Empire, prompting them to make the necessary changes.
He wanted to usher in an era of a hundred schools of thought contending once again, ending the age where a single ideology dominated the land.
