Chapter 332 Popularizing Entertainment Games (Seeking votes and subscriptions)
The overall structure of the teaching building is a brick-concrete structure, that is, a building with bricks, wood, and tiles as the main materials. The walls and load-bearing columns are made of strong, pressure-resistant blue bricks, and then giant wood is used to frame the main beams and secondary beams, and wooden floor slabs are laid on the beams.
The floor slabs are paved with thick wooden squares, and a ten-centimeter-thick wooden board is laid on the grid-like beams. The main load-bearing structure actually relies on the beams.
This construction method is actually very similar to shipbuilding. There are also multi-story buildings in ancient wooden ships. The structure of Zheng He's treasure ship, plus the multi-story bottom cabin and the four-story poop, is at least seven or eight stories high, and it is a pure wooden structure. A Western second-class battleship is larger than this teaching building.
A teaching building in Hanyang City is 16 meters wide, 35 meters long, and three stories high. Compared with those warships, it is actually just a tiny thing. If it is a first-class battleship, not counting the bottom cabin of the living area, the gun deck alone has three floors. A single cannon weighing several tons can be placed on one floor. Dozens of them can be placed, not counting the weight of the shells, gunpowder, and crew members. The teaching building in Hanyang City only has dozens of wooden tables.
It is no exaggeration to say that with such a structure of the floor, it is no problem for a group of adults to dance in the classroom. Of course, this is impossible. The classroom is only used as a place to teach cultural courses on a daily basis. Physical education classes have to be held outside the teaching building.
On the teaching building construction site, many tribesmen are working. The 200 slaves are now very cooperative and do whatever they are asked to do. Moreover, they have built so many warehouses and now have experience in building houses and laying walls. Under the command of the tribesmen, the construction is also carried out in an orderly manner.
Brick movers moved bricks, wall builders built walls, and mud workers kept stirring the mud piles on the ground. However, there was a special situation. There were many children on the construction site.
There were seven or eight hundred little boys rescued from the Fire Tribe, and they were all five or six years old. They didn't have to work every day, and they had nothing to play with. The older children began to help the adults with work, and these half-grown children ran around the city all day long. Wherever there were many people and where there were new things, you could see these children.
For example, there were children playing in the mud next to the mud pile, and there were also naughty children chasing and playing around the construction site.
This was not a good thing. Not to mention that they hindered the construction work, the safety aspect alone was a problem. The construction site was full of tools, vehicles and bricks. What if they accidentally bumped into each other? These children had to be taken away.
After thinking about it for a while, Luo Chong understood the root of the problem. To put it bluntly, there was nothing to play with. Although there were not so many electronic products when he was a child, there were still many toys to play with, and group games were not uncommon. However, the primitive children in these tribes really had nothing to play with.
In fact, this problem is also easy to solve. Luo Chong can easily find some group games suitable for children to play. It’s just that he didn’t think of this problem before.
Having made up his mind, Luo Chong waved to a child who was "stealing" mud on the construction site. The child was scared and quickly threw away the mud in his hand and walked over with his hands behind his back.
"Hello, leader (^^●)"
"Well, hello to you too, but you can't go over and make trouble when the adults are working." Luo Chong said with a smile.
"But my brothers and sisters don't take me with them when they go to herd sheep. I also want to go out to herd sheep, but they think I'm too young and there's nothing to stay at home, so I can only go out to play." The child who stole mud said aggrievedly.
"Well, you are right. I also know that you have nothing to do. How about this, you call all your friends to the square and tell them that the leader said he wants to teach you some fun things." Luo Chong said, rubbing his head.
"Really, Chief? What's the fun stuff?"
"Go and call people to the square first. I'll tell you when they get there. Go quickly and remember to wash your hands." Luo Chong urged the child.
"Okay, I'll go right away. Thank you, Chief~\(≧▽≦)/~"
The child immediately ran away and began to call his companions to spread the news Luo Chong just said. When the naughty children heard that there were toys, they cheered and immediately called their friends to run to the square.
Luo Chong looked at them and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These children were really pitiful. They had never seen the most common toys when he was a child. They had no childhood fun at all. Shaking his head, Luo Chong turned around and prepared toys for these children.
In fact, toys don't need to be expensive or exquisite for these simple children. Sometimes, just a sandbag, a skipping rope, a rubber band, or a chicken feather shuttlecock can make these children have a lot of fun. Isn't that how he went through it when he was a child?
Just do it when you think of it. It's not a difficult thing. Rubber bands are definitely gone now. Shuttlecocks have chicken feathers but no copper coins. However, sandbags are still easy to make. Luo Chong found a bunch of small cloth bags used to hold salt, stuffed a handful of rice bran, which is the shell of rice, into them, added some sawdust, and finally mixed some sand, tied the mouth tightly, and a simple sandbag was made.
Jumping rope is even simpler. You can just find a hemp rope to use as a toy. These are not precious things, on the contrary, they are very cheap, but these simple toys have brought endless happiness to a generation.
Hundreds of children soon gathered in the square, chattering and waiting for Luo Chong to come. Luo Chong didn't say anything nonsense and came over with a basket of sandbags, followed by several women carrying ropes.
Seeing the leader coming, a group of children also surrounded him noisily, and they all looked at what Luo Chong was holding.
"Come on, don't fight over it. This sandbag is a toy. There are a lot of them. You will have them all soon. I will tell you how to play first. Then you can form a team to play later, okay?"
"Okay! O(∩_∩)O"
Luo Chong immediately called three children at random. Two of them stood facing each other with a distance, and another stood in the middle. Three people had one sandbag. The people on both sides hit the person in the middle with the sandbag. The child in the middle had to dodge. If he was hit,
he had to change positions with the one who hit him. This is the simplest way to play. It can also be played by multiple people at the same time. In short, just hit people with sandbags. This game is not dangerous. Running and jumping can exercise
your body and practice throwing things accurately. When you grow up, you will be good at throwing stones even if you are pulled to the battlefield. After the demonstration of several people, the children suddenly burst into great interest in such games. They called their friends to get sandbags and found a place in the square to start playing. In just a moment, the square was filled with children's laughter.
