 Chapter 449: Teaching and Learning

However, Master Lin was already very pleased that a five-year-old child could think of this.


He then asked Chong Jin.


Ye Muyu was also curious about what this child would say.


Chong Jin didn't hesitate this time and said, "The abbots preach and convey the teachings to the people in the name of the Buddha."


"That's not a bad idea. It doesn't require unnecessary expenses." Master Lin nodded. "However, this requires communication with the abbots in the temples. How do you ensure this?"


"It only needs to start with Deming Temple. By spending one or two years, once there are obvious results in Nanchang County, the news will naturally spread." Chong Jin explained. "Even the county magistrates will take the initiative to purchase this book and explain its key points to the people."


"Although it takes a bit longer, it's the safest method. The power of individuals is ultimately inferior to the power of many." he added.


Master Lin's expression turned into one of contentment.


Ye Muyu was also pleasantly surprised. Chong Jin's insight was unexpectedly profound.


Whether it's directly spreading the message through the county government or having the emperor issue a decree, it's still not as effective as letting the people see the difference for themselves and willingly learn and change.


People always prioritize their interests.


To put it bluntly, it's about not releasing the eagle until you see the rabbit.


In a more polite way, it's about being afraid of not having enough food to support the family.


As for why it would take two years...


Ye Muyu thought that Chong Jin might have a more thorough understanding. The first year is for demonstrating directly in the temples for the people to see. During holidays or festivals, even slightly wealthier people would go to the temples to worship. Even the Chu family goes there several times a year. Once the news spreads, people will pay attention. With a clear demonstration and visible results, the second year would be when the people of Nanchang County themselves start to practice.


Once the people of Nanchang County see the effectiveness and increased yields, they won't need to be told what to do next. The people and officials will gradually develop on their own. And when they later publish more agricultural books, more people will buy them, creating a virtuous cycle.


Overall, it's a good thing.


"Chongjin is really smart." Ye Muyu praised.


Master Lin said, "Madam overpraises. Chong Jin has spent quite some time in the temple which is why he came up with this idea."


"It's like how Jin knows that spreading messages in the village is done by having the village chief speak." Master Lin added.


Seeing that Master Lin seemed to have high expectations for Chong Jin, Ye Muyu refrained from praising further and only made small talk.


After chatting for a while, Ye Muyu left.


She reached out and rubbed Chu Jin's forehead. "Jin, Mommy is going back now."


"Study with Chong Jin and Master more often."


"Mom, I know. I still have a lot to learn." Chu Jin said, feeling a bit disheartened. He could clearly see that Ye Muyu and Master thought Chong Jin's ideas were better than his.


However, he was originally a child with a big heart and wasn't upset. He just realized that his knowledge was still not enough.


"It's okay, sweetheart. Take your time to learn. You're already doing great." Ye Muyu noticed his subtle change in emotions and praised him with a smile.


Chu Jin instantly cheered up upon hearing this, smiling happily with his teeth showing.


"Mom, I will."


Ye Muyu nodded lightly, bid farewell to Master Lin, and left the school with Hu Shi.


They returned home in the carriage.


Upon arriving home, Ye Muyu instructed Hu Shi to put Ziluo to bed.


Luchuan drove the carriage to the stable, fed the horses, and then prepared to go to the county.
