"How has Shuoyang been while I was away? Has it been stable?" Bai Qingyan asked.
Bai Qingping nodded: "Everything in Shuoyang is fine. Sister, are you injured?"
"It's nothing serious!" Bai Qingyan said. "How are things at the military camp?"
"Recently, many people have come to join the military camp. Because they heard that they could learn to read and write, many people have sent their children here, even from neighboring counties! After all, ordinary people... can't afford tuition. There are also few schools, and it's rare for a village to produce even one literate person. Now that soldiers can learn to read in the military camp, naturally, many come."
The status of literate people was different. Who wouldn't want someone in their family to be literate? Even if they couldn't become a scholar, being able to write letters for others could provide a living.
