What happens
The children of samurai and ruling families have always had dedicated public educational institutions, often founded by Buddhist temples. With the rise of the merchant class, the commoners have started to demand education for everyone. Some have laid forth the suggestion of terakoya, educational institutions for commoners, which would focus on teaching reading and writing to the whole population of, sometimes also teaching counting with the abacus (soroban), history, and geography. It has been clearly voiced by our people that they feel strongly about this, and that we, as their ruler, should lead the way.
