Chapter 898 Movable Type Printing Three-in-One



It was already autumn, and before we knew it, the sky had become very high.

There are some cotton candy-like white clouds floating in the blue sky.

A relatively cool breeze blew by, and the leaves on the trees rustled.

The papers in front of the children who were taking the exam were rustling in the wind. Amid the rustling sound, two children put down their pens and moved their legs to chase the papers that were blown away by the wind.

Han Cheng, the invigilator, couldn't help but smile when watching this scene. Suddenly, he felt a sense of time and space confusion.

It was as if I was back in elementary school, carrying the small stool I brought from home and squatting in the open space outside the classroom to take exams.

It was quiet all around, the sunlight was shining on my body, making me feel warm. Apart from some numbness in my legs from squatting for so long, I felt fine.

Time passed quietly, and people began to hand in their papers one after another.

This time, Han Cheng did not collect the papers, but handed the matter over to Shitou, Yuan and other teachers from the Qingque tribe.

There were only four invigilators including Han Cheng. On the one hand, it was because the minors in the tribe were very honest and would not cheat. On the other hand, the papers from the third batch onwards had not been copied yet, and the rest of the people were still working overtime to copy the papers.

The test papers with names written on them were collected together, some were filled with names, while others had large blank spaces.

Han Cheng asked the minors who had been taught the test papers to rest for a while and continue with the math test later.

During their break, Han Chengshitou and a few others went to the toilet, then divided the papers into four parts and prepared to start grading them soon.

Among them, Han Cheng got the most papers, almost half.

Sitting on a wooden chair with a backrest, Han Cheng took the time to correct more than a dozen papers, then stood up and announced the start of the second exam.

These minors returned to their previous seats and sat down quickly.

Stone, Circle and Yellow Bug began handing out math test papers.

After looking for a while, Han Cheng sat down again, leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, put the test paper on his legs, and held a pen dipped in red ink in one hand to correct the Chinese test paper.

It was quiet all around, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing through the leaves and the sound of some children flipping through their test papers.

Fu Jiang came over at some point and lay down beside Han Cheng, resting his chin on his front paws, with his tail lazily swaying from time to time.

After correcting the papers for a while, Han Cheng raised his head and looked around, then continued to correct the papers in his hand.

The time is beautiful, with peace and tranquility.

It even made Han Cheng want to become a teacher in the tribe.

This first batch of papers were very simple, so they were graded very quickly. By the time these children handed in their math papers, Han Cheng and his colleagues had almost finished grading them.

After the math test, Han Cheng and his colleagues took the papers back. After grading all the Chinese papers, Han Cheng took them all over and added them up as he was very fast at math to calculate the total scores.

The rest of the people started marking math papers.

According to the plan, two more exams will be held in the afternoon to select second-year students, so we must hurry.

After a busy period, both the Chinese and mathematics papers were graded.

Just like in the previous teacher examination, the number of people who passed in Chinese was far higher than the number of people who passed in mathematics.

This time, there were a total of 453 people taking the exam, 371 of them passed the Chinese test, and 252 passed the mathematics test.

There were two hundred and two people who passed both Chinese and mathematics.

Han Cheng’s plan was to have those who failed to pass even one subject start directly from preschool classes along with those who had never been trained in Chinese literacy.

Those who have only passed one subject will start from the first grade but will not participate in the second grade assessment.

Only those who have passed both Chinese and mathematics can take the second grade exam, which is the afternoon exam.

Those who fail the afternoon exam will continue to the first grade, and those who pass any subject can go to the second grade.

The following are similar.

After lunch and some busy work, Han Cheng and his team finished the statistics, wrote down the names of those who only passed one subject, and notified them to move on to the first grade.

At the same time, a statistics was made for those who did not pass any subject and asked them to attend preschool classes.

Those who have passed both subjects will continue to take the next exam.

After such a selection, Han Cheng found that there were a lot of first-year students.

There were 169 people who only passed the Chinese test, and 50 people who only passed the math test. The total number of people who passed the two tests was 219.

If we add in those who didn’t pass the second-grade exam, I’m afraid the number will easily exceed two hundred and fifty.

It easily exceeds the total number of students of all ages from the second grade and above.

Without a doubt, the largest number of students are in pre-school and first grade.

It will take another two years for the situation to return to normal.

The afternoon passed quietly. In the lighted room, Han Cheng and others continued to correct, tally, and copy scores, and carry out related matters...

Two days later, all the exams had been completed and the classes and grades had been divided according to the exam results.

As expected, the higher you go, the fewer qualified people there are.

For example, in the highest grade, the fifth grade, there are only thirteen students, and except for three who passed both Chinese and mathematics, the rest all passed only a single subject.

The preschool class is divided into two classes, each with more than 70 students. The first grade has the largest number of students, divided into four classes, each with more than 60 students.

Apart from these two outliers, there are fewer classes in the remaining grades, with only one student each.

After the grades and classes are divided, teacher resources need to be allocated.

Because there are fewer students in the upper grades, the two highest-level courses, Stone and Circle, are taught to both fourth and fifth graders.

In addition to studying cultural subjects, the children in the tribe also need to learn other things and participate in labor, so they only have classes half a day.

And there are two days of rest in seven days.

In this way, Shitou and Yuan were fully busy teaching two grades.

For the remaining thirteen teachers who had just passed the exam, Han Cheng picked those with lower academic performance and good personalities to be teachers of preschool and first grade. Some of them also needed to teach two classes.

After finishing all these, the next step is to find an empty house to serve as a temporary classroom before the new classroom is built.

Before this series of tedious, detailed, yet indispensable and unomitted tasks were completed, the autumn harvest in the tribe had already begun.

After a sumptuous feast, the Qingque tribe entered the annual harvest season.

The children in the tribe were very lucky. They had just passed the exams and were assigned to grades and classes. Before school started, they were already on vacation and joined the autumn harvest with the adults.

As for Han Cheng, he still hadn't left the tribe with his men as he still had some things to do.

It’s still about teaching.

When he was compiling the textbooks before, he did not think about grading the students in the tribe, so now he has to revise the previously compiled textbooks.

At the very least, textbooks for each corresponding grade should be compiled.

Therefore, he split the two books he had previously edited and expanded and extended them on the basis of the previous ones.

The later the Chinese text is and the higher the grade, the longer the text is and the more advanced the content is.

Mathematics textbooks go further and go beyond just geometric concepts like perimeter, area, and volume.

Including the angles, these are also written out.

At the same time, he also included reciprocals, fractions, decimals, linear equations, simple squares and cubes in the corresponding textbooks.

Because he was always thinking about Jinguan City and rice in the south, Han Cheng worked really hard during this period. He kept writing these things from morning to night, really day and night.

Even when I was humming some tunes with my sister Bai Xue at night, I was thinking about how to write a certain text or what a certain law is.

In the past, he always envied people who sat in the office holding a pen, but now, he doesn't envy them at all.

Who says sitting in an office is easy?

The pen is not light at all to hold.

This is not only mentally taxing, but also physically taxing.

After a busy day, I feel dizzy.

It was not until this time that Han Cheng suddenly realized that his thoughts some time ago were wrong.

If time could flow backwards, space could change, and I could go back to the past, I would never again have the idea of ​​locking up some Mo Shebai in a small dark room.

I won't play his little hook for no reason anymore...

Time passes quietly in the busy days.

By the time he finished these things and finalized the teaching materials, the first batch of millet planted in the tribe had been harvested and the second batch of millet had already begun to be harvested.

韩成稍稍的休息了一会儿,就将石头、圆、黄虫等人召集起来,进行会议。

主要就是交代这些新编的教材的誊抄与应用的问题,并让他们都抓紧时间将自己所教授年级的教材研读一下,不懂的地方就赶紧问他。

将这些事情都解决了之后,他好快些带着人南下。

为此,韩成还特意批准他们,暂时可以不用参加到部落的秋收之中。

于是,石头他们就开始了紧张的研读,遇到不懂的地方,就询问韩成,并且不少时候都会将韩成讲述的一些东西,用小本本记上。

石头的任务更重一些,这不仅仅是因为他需要教授四年级与五年级,还有一个原因就是,韩成还对他交代了一些关于之后制作竹纸的事情,让他记下来,到时间进行摸索。

而且,在这个时间段里面,他还需要不时去指导一下部落里的几个人,如何去生产制作部落里已有的那种纸张。

这是因为随着课本的编写与各种考试的进行,部落里对纸张的需求,一下子就变得多了起来,所以需要抓紧时间制作一批出来。

在进行这些事情的间隙里,韩成还抽空检查了部落里为这次南下而准备的东西。

还将巫、大师兄等一些部落里的高层召集起来,安排后半年的事情。

主要就是冬季运动会的举行,选择合格的部落奴隶使之成为部落里的公民,以及后面的需要举行的解除奴隶身份的大会,与新加入的公民喝青雀酒的事情。

这些事情对于部落的发展与稳定都很重要,需要安排妥当。

而他,如果不出意外的话,需要等到第二年将水田开辟出来,并且将秧苗种下,才会归来,所以这些事情都需提前安排好。

最后商议出来的办法就是,祭祀英雄与冬季运动会如约举行。

至于解除奴隶身份的事情,需要打上一个折扣。

就是到了举行冬季运动会的时候,会将所有将会被解除奴隶身份的人的名单公布出来。

同时,这些人也会从奴隶小院中搬出,住进内院里面,并且享有一切青雀部落公民应该享有的权益。

但颁发居民身份证,与喝加入部落的青雀酒的事情,需要等到韩成回来之后,再举行。

这一方面是韩成思索之后,觉得这些事情不应该假借与他人之手,另外一方面就是,这些韩成到来之后,才弄出来的事情,从开始到现在,在举行的时候,都是韩成在唱主角戏,部落里的人都已经习惯了,有朝着不成文的规矩方向发展的趋势。

如果将之交给巫、大师兄他们两个,不仅仅部落里的人不认同,就是巫、大师兄两个都不习惯。

将举行这两个仪式往后推迟,等到韩成回来之后再举行的事情,就是他们两个主动提出来的。

除了这些事情之外,还韩成还将黑娃、跛、谷、豆、老羊等人召集起来,交代了下半年在各种好已有土地的基础之上,继续开垦土地,加强放牧,以及修建青砖学堂等这些事情。

事情零零碎碎,但是却不能不交代一二。

在将这些都交代下去之后,韩成还单独将跛与黑娃找来,向他们交代印刷术的事情。

印刷术的科技树必须要将之点开了,这一段儿时间各种抄书、抄卷子,实在是让韩成受够了。

如今,看到需要将一份东西抄成几十份或者是上百份的事情,韩成就觉得自己的手腕疼。

“……等等了,你们可以将陶泥或者是木头弄成小方块,在其中一面上,将字反着刻在上面……常用的字了就多刻一些,不常用的字了,就少刻上一些…以后部落里再有什么东西需要大量抄录了,就将这些字一个个的排列上去,弄结实之后,在上面刷上墨水,再将纸张往上面一印,立刻就能得到一篇新的……”

韩成向两个人说着印刷术的事情。

没有走先雕版印刷,再活字印刷的路子,而是直接就祭出了活字印刷。

雕版印刷不适合目前的部落。

部落里现在哪怕是重复率最高的一份东西,也就三百份左右,大多都是百十份,甚至是更少一些的存在。

在这样的情况下,专门为之雕版,再进行印刷,实在是太不划算了。

不等雕版完成,就已经能够手动抄好了。

还是能够拆掉重组的活字印刷更加的适合部落里这种规模小的印刷。

毕竟活字印刷,最大的麻烦就是之前制作活字的时候,只要能够将活字制作好,并将其余一些问题克服掉,那用起来就方便的太多了。

而且,哪个字坏掉了,直接将之换掉也就是了,不用如同雕版那样,只要其中一个字坏掉,整个板面也就随之报废了。

对于活字印刷,韩成并不怎么陌生,因为当初上学的时候在历史课本上,学过这样的章节。

虽然具体没有操作过,对于一些细节也不了解,但有了这样的大致方向与框架就已经足够了。

剩下的东西,通过多次的实验,总能将之摸索出来。

毕竟这个东西,最为重要的其实是创意。

跛与黑娃两个人一个是木匠外加编织匠,另外一个是陶匠、制模匠,如今还在朝着制瓷这条道路上摸索,与文教事业不是一个系统里的人。

因此上,在听韩成说出了活字印刷的事情之后,虽然也对神子的这个想法感到新奇,但感触并不是特别大。

但石头、圆、黄虫这些人就完全不同了。

在韩成对跛与黑娃两个人交代了这件事情之后,知道了活字印刷之事的他们一下子就都变得激动起来了。

这些天来,没少抄东西的他们,能够深刻的体会到这样的东西真的能够被制作出来,将会对部落带来多大的好处。

他们可以从繁重抄写东西的工作中解放出来不说,还能够迅速的推进部落教学的发展。

其余不说,单单是课本的事情,就能被迅速的解决。

毕竟课本与卷子不同,课本上的字多,一本就需要抄上好长时间。

想想一下部落里的孩子们,等到秋收结束之后,人人都可以捧着两本新书,坐在教室之内听课学习的情景,石头、圆、黄虫、小美等人,就忍不住的一阵儿激动与心醉。

这样的情景实在是太美了,只需要想象就让人无比的迷醉。

在为神子这个天才的设想而敬服的同时,这十五个人集体前来寻找他们的神子,并向神子表示他们都想要参与到这件事情中来,想要早些将这样的好东西给制作出来。

担心韩成不同意,不等韩成开口,他们就进行保证,说绝对不会因此而影响到抄写课本,备课之类的事情。

他们都说到了这个份上,韩成自然也没有再拒绝的道理。

而且,他们的这个举动也给韩成提了一个醒,那就是将相关的事情,交给相关的人来完成。

石头、圆、黄虫这些人,虽然不是木匠与陶匠,但是他们以后都是要经常与文字这些打交道的,让他们来进行篆刻之类的,似乎更加的合适。

至于陶活字的用泥、以及进行烧制的时候,让黑娃多指点有些也就是了。

而且,跛还有黑娃都有很多的事情要忙碌。

比如,以跛为首的木匠室,就需要抓紧时间赶制出来一大批专门用作教学的桌椅。

挂在墙上的黑板,以及让未成年人们使用小黑板也都需要抓紧制作出许多。

除了这些之外,修建青砖瓦房的时候,门窗这些都需要跛他们来制作。

至于黑娃,也很忙碌,除了陶器与模子之外,他现在还在摸索怎么用高岭土烧制瓷器,同时,部落里青砖的烧制这些,他也是主要负责指导的人。

而活字印刷术这个涉及到好几个难点的新工具,是需要有人能沉下心去,花费大量精力与时间认真钻研的。

跛与黑娃两个人,显然并不是太适合做这件事情。

相比之下,将之交给石头、圆、黄虫、小美他们更加的合适。

想通了这些事情之后,韩成就将跛、黑娃找来,进行了重新的交代,让研究活字印刷术的事情,以石头他们为主,跛与黑娃两个人为辅。

对于韩成这个重新的安排,跛、黑娃以及石头等人都显得很是高兴……

这么多零零碎碎的事情一一安排下去之后,部落里第二批种下的谷子也已经收割了一半了。

而韩成,也终于要启程了。

带着一些薄雾的清晨,青雀部落的广场之上就已经汇集了很多的人。

早已经收拾好的各种物资,以及之前就已经被明确告知了将会随着韩成一起前往锦官城的人们,都在这里汇集。

背着双肩背包的韩成,一个胳膊抱着小豌豆,另外一个胳膊抱着小杏儿出现在众人的面前。

在两个小家伙的脸上各自亲了一下之后,韩成将他们放在地上。

The two little guys were very well behaved. They didn't ask Han Cheng to hold them more. After being put down, they followed Han Cheng obediently.

"Son of God, be careful, drive slowly, don't be so anxious, we will take good care of the tribe..."

The witch gave instructions there.

He had said similar things a few days ago, many times.

Han Cheng listened patiently and nodded vigorously to reassure Wu.

Almost everything that needed to be said had already been said, so Han Cheng did not say anything more. He just stayed here for a while and then set off with his men...
