Zhao Dongting shook his head, not knowing what to say.

He began to ask Mr. Ma about his condition.

Traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, four words: looking, listening, asking and touching.

Zhao Dongting was not sure that he could cure Mr. Ma.

But after hearing him talk about his situation, he probably knew it.

It’s not a serious illness, as Mr. Ma himself said, it’s just an old problem caused by age.

He still suffered a lot when he was young, and his body was not as good as those old people in later generations.

With the common situation in this era, being able to live to the age of seventy is considered a long-lived old man.

Of course, that was before Zhao Dongting unified the Song Dynasty.

Given the current situation in the Song Dynasty, medical equipment, etc., the lifespan of the people in the Song Dynasty will only grow longer and longer in the future.

Because there are many diseases that were not so easy to treat before but were likely to cause death.

Most of this is due to the miracle doctors of Baicao Valley.

Under Zhao Dongting's persuasion and guidance, they selflessly devoted many of Baicaogu's medical skills.

In addition, Zhao Dongting also promoted medical sciences, etc., which made the medical power of the Song Dynasty much stronger than before.

Some diseases were not untreated before, but there were too few people who knew medical skills. Too many people chose to cherish their own treasures.

This is an old problem for too many people in this era.

Mr. Ma just had a little cold and weak body, which led to bedridden like this.

Zhao Dongting can still treat wind and cold.

He immediately asked the old servant to bring in paper and pen and prescribe a prescription.

Then he sent some internal energy to Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma suddenly felt much more refreshed, and he was able to get up now.

While feeling amazing, he quickly got up and took Zhao Dongting to the reception room.

After meeting the three girls of Tolando, Le Wu and Yue Yue, after knowing their identities, he took a serious care.

His wife was also surprised to know the identities of Zhao Dongting and others.

It is hard for anyone to imagine that the emperor will suddenly come to visit his home.

In the reception room, Zhao Dongting and others were tasting tea.

Zhao Dongting said to Mr. Ma: "I wonder what you think about the education on Lizhou West Road?"

Lizhou West Road was originally the territory of the Song Dynasty.

However, when the small court of the Song Dynasty lost its power, the army on the West Road of Lizhou was not in trouble. Perhaps it was because it felt that the small court had lost its power and had no need to struggle any more. Or perhaps it was for other reasons.

Later, it was naturally accepted by the Yuan Dynasty.

When Zhao Dongting gradually rose, Lizhou West Road was thrown into the arms of Xixia again.

It was not until Zhao Dongting brought Lizhou West Road from Xixia that Lizhou West Road was considered to be the embrace of the Song Dynasty.

So over the past decade, Lizhou West Road has changed hands several times.

This also led to the development of Lizhou West Road. To this day, it is still a poor area in the Song Dynasty.

There are even the remaining poisons of the Yuan Dynasty.

Mr. Ma answered Zhao Dongting’s question in a concise way, “The land is wide, the population is sparse, the road is difficult, and the education in Lizhou West Road is difficult to take shape.”

It seems that he has obviously thought about this issue.

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "It's true..."

The land of Lizhou West Road is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is barren. This is an old problem for many years.

It is obviously much more difficult to popularize education in such places than in places where people are concentrated.

Because every village cannot set up a school.

How many students will be there?

Where can I find such a faculty on Lizhou West Road?

It is also a difficult problem to set up the school wherever it is.

Some villages are close, while others are far away. It will undoubtedly be much more difficult for children in remote villages to go to school.

Even some more remote villages may not be able to go to school without setting up separate schools.

And education is undoubtedly the top priority of a local development.

Zhao Dongting pondered for a while and asked again: "Then what do you think?"

Mr. Ma looked a little embarrassed, "I am just a bastard, so how dare I talk nonsense in front of the emperor."

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Just treat me as a friend, let's discuss it casually!"

Mr. Ma is indeed completely different from before. He no longer looks like a businessman, but more and more like a hermit.

Knowledge can indeed change people.

When Mr. Ma came here to be a teacher, he must have worked hard on his studies.

After hearing what Zhao Dongting said, he said again: "The Caomin was brave. Caomin thought that the reason why Lizhou West Road is so poor is because of the barren land and the dispersion of the people. They lived in three or five just to reclaim more land to use to fill their stomachs with enough harvests. To change the education situation of Lizhou West Road, they must first solve their fill problem. If everyone lives together and can still have enough food, then many people should be willing to move out of their hometown. As long as they gather together, it will be much easier to open a school."

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but nodded again, but he didn't expect that Mr. Ma would have such an opinion.

This went with him.

This is urbanization!

However, urbanization is indeed not easy.

Most people are farming and working in this generation, and they don’t have other survival skills. It is difficult for them to live in the city to maintain their lives.

Unless it is industrialized and mechanized.

The problem seems to be back to the origin.
