章 238: 236

"My father has always had a vision to provide free basic education to all children in the Minze Country, regardless of their social status or income levels. He hopes that through education, they would understand and practice moral norms: to care for the old, to utilize the strong, to educate the young, to support the widowed, lone, and disabled; to be honest and cultivate harmony. He often dreams of an ideal society where people wouldn't need to lock their doors at night or leave things unattended on roads. However, for various reasons, this vision remains an unfulfilled dream." Shangguan Xuanhao spoke of this with a hint of regret.

Upon hearing this, Xiao'er silently pondered. Ideals were indeed grand, yet reality was often brutal!

She hadn't expected the emperor to hold such foresight, to use compulsory education as a means to realize his utopian ideals.

But how was it to be said?

It's true that education fosters morality, but not every educated person behaves ethically!
