Chapter 156 Jinjiang Exclusive
On board ship No. 1.
Everyone gathered in the large lounge on the second floor.
The children who were the protagonists today, including Lu Chen, were brought to the front of the crowd.
These children didn't know what was going on. They all had confused expressions. They looked at each other, then looked back at their parents and grandparents, and finally looked at the village chief and Lu Xuan standing opposite them.
The adults actually didn't know what the village chief wanted to say when he gathered them together.
Apart from the end of the rainy season, is there anything else important happening recently?
Some people noticed Xu Wenzhe and Ji Xiuling standing next to the village chief, wondering if it was related to them, but these two people had nothing to do with each other.
Li Tie coughed dryly, drawing everyone's attention before announcing loudly, "I called everyone here to share some good news. From today on, all the children in the village can read and write!"
"What!?" The villagers were in an uproar.
"Village Chief, are you serious?"
"Village chief, do you mean to open a private school in our village?"
"The natural disaster is still going on outside. Do we still need to open a private school and study?"
Hearing the last question, Li Tie's eyes widened. "Does the end of the disaster mean the end of my life? I can read now. Isn't it good to have a good future after the disaster ends?"
Are you proud of being illiterate?
If you have the opportunity to learn, just celebrate.
Li Tiedao: "Let Xuan tell you what you will learn in class."
He didn't quite understand the course content, so he just followed along and listened.
Lu Xuan said, "There are four main courses: Chinese, Mathematics, Survival, and Combat."
"Language is about literacy, starting with the basics, with the 3,000 most commonly used Chinese characters. Math teaches basic arithmetic like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Survival classes teach various wilderness survival techniques and first aid. Combat classes are divided into close combat, ranged combat, and supernatural abilities."
"Xu Wenzhe will be in charge of Chinese, Ji Xiuling will be in charge of math, and Aunt Miao, Uncle Wu, and Uncle Gao (the new hunter) will take turns teaching survival classes. I'll also teach occasionally, and I'll be fully responsible for combat classes."
Everyone:!!!
Teach so much content! ?
They thought that literacy meant teaching people to recognize words.
"In addition to these four required courses, there is also a natural science elective. You can choose whether to take it or not, and I will be responsible for the class."
"The four courses are not taught every day. There are only two classes a day, each lasting half an hour. The schedule is adjusted according to the situation. There may be one class in the morning and one in the afternoon, or both in the morning or afternoon. There are two days off for every five days of classes. During holidays, there are five to seven consecutive days off."
"Education is compulsory for boys and girls aged ten and under, and is voluntary for those over ten. The village will provide any paper and pens needed free of charge."
The villagers were surprised to learn that girls could also attend classes, or rather, had to attend classes. Wei Xiang, Ye Ping and Mei Xue were particularly delighted.
Lu Xuan continued, "The private school will hold exams every month. The top five students in each course will receive reward supplies. The first place will receive 50 kilograms of supplies, the second place will receive 30 kilograms, the third place will receive 20 kilograms, and the fourth and fifth place will receive 10 kilograms."
Everyone:! Lots of rewards!
If a child gets first place in all four subjects, wouldn't that child be able to earn 200 kilograms of supplies?!
Even if you only get fifth place, that’s still 40 kilograms!
Someone asked, “What about tuition?”
Lu Xuan said: "Ten kilograms of supplies per month."
Everyone: So little! ?
Doesn't that mean that as long as I can get into the top five in any course, I can earn back my tuition fees?
Zhang Chengming was a little worried: "Will the tuition be enough to pay the teachers' wages?"
Lu Xuan explained: "The teachers' wages are paid from public resources, and the tuition fees of each tutor are mainly used to give exam rewards."
In fact, even giving out rewards is not enough. What is lacking is also the subsidies for public materials, including paper and pens needed for classes.
Lu Xuan said, "That's about it. Anyone over ten years old who wants to take the class can go to the village chief to sign up. Other families with children can also go to the village chief to pay the tuition. Classes will start in half an hour."
The villagers who haven’t reacted yet said: Ah, class is about to start?
After a while, they rushed to the village chief, some to register, some to pay tuition fees.
There are twenty children in the village who are ten years old and above, including Lu Chen. Ye Jing's son and Ji Xiuling's daughter are still in their infancy and are not counted among them.
There were ten boys and girls over ten years old, and all of them signed up without exception.
It’s not that all villagers don’t have a preference for boys over girls and are willing to let their daughters go to school.
The main reason is that the tuition fees are too cheap and the scholarships are too attractive.
Older children definitely have higher learning abilities than younger ones, and are more likely to get good grades in exams.
To put it bluntly, it's just a desire to take advantage of others.
Besides, other families have sent their daughters to school. If your family doesn't send their daughters, then in the future all the other girls will be able to read and do arithmetic, but your daughter won't be able to. Wouldn't she be unable to keep up and have no common topics to talk about?
The probability of finding a good son-in-law after the disaster is not as high as that of other families.
So give it away, why not!
It’s worth it to exchange ten kilograms of supplies for a daughter who can read!
After registration, the village chief distributed the paper and pens he had exchanged from Lu Xuan in advance.
They are not the four treasures of the study that were commonly used by ancient people and are not very friendly to beginners, but modern notebooks and gel pens. The styles are a little different because of the Star Alliance aesthetic, but they are similar in use.
The village chief had previously exchanged some of these papers and pens with Lu Xuan in order to keep accounts for public supplies, and the other villagers had not exchanged them.
The main reason was that everyone felt that they had no chance of being useful, but when they saw their children received paper and pens and could use them to write in the future, the parents all smiled with joy.
Some people even think about stocking up more in the future so that their children can write whatever they want.
It’s not expensive anyway. One pound of supplies can be exchanged for one. It’s much cheaper than the price of a piece of paper I heard before.
After being given paper and pens and paying tuition, the children were taken to the classroom.
It's actually the smaller lounge next door.
Before, Lu Xuan was reluctant to let all the children in the village run onto Boat No. 1 because he didn’t want them to run around and make noise, but it was still okay for them to attend classes.
The classroom was already equipped with touch-screen desks and ergonomic chairs that Lu Xuan had purchased from the mall.
All Star Alliance books come with electronic versions that can be directly connected to the touch screen on the table.
Because it was the first class, Lu Xuan knew that parents would be curious about the class content, so he asked everyone to listen together in the back of the lounge.
The first class is Chinese.
Xu Wenzhe, who was a teacher for the first time, saw a group of villagers behind the students staring at him with burning eyes. He took a deep breath and loaded the courseware given by Lu Xuan onto the desk in front of him with trembling hands.
Soon a chart appeared on the big screen behind him.
Xu Wenzhe cleared his throat and looked at the children, whose eyes were round and whose faces were full of thirst for knowledge and curiosity, and said, "Come, let's learn pinyin first. Repeat after me: bpmf, dtnl——"
Children: ???
Elders: ???
What is this? Is it chanting?
Zhang Chengming poked Li Jing in a low voice: "What are you teaching? Aren't you teaching the Three Character Classic?" The Three Character Classic isn't a scripture, right?
Li Jing was also confused, "I don't know either."
The confused villagers all looked at the village chief, asking with their eyes what this was.
Li Tie was also confused.
He brainstormed for a while, and then a light bulb went off in his head: "Could this be the language of immortals?"
When the villagers heard this, they suddenly realized that it made sense!
Then he looked at the scribbles on the screen with shining eyes.
If they learned the immortals' language, would they also be able to gain the favor of the immortals?
Thinking of this, those who were quick to react had already started reciting along with the children.
bpmf……
…
[Pfft—Although I already knew the content of the teaching plan, watching a group of ancient children reading pinyin was really weird.]
[Isn’t the funniest thing the villagers misunderstood it as the language of the gods? Hahaha.]
Lu Xuan did not give the villagers a chance to imagine further. He quickly explained the usage of pinyin and said, "We will teach them the Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic after they learn pinyin."
As an enlightenment book that has been passed down for thousands of years in ancient times, although it contains a lot of feudal dregs, after removing the inappropriate parts, the remaining content can still allow children to distinguish right from wrong and understand astronomy, geography, and natural evolution.
At that time, let Xu Wenzhe, who is responsible for copying out the two enlightenment books, mark the pinyin. Even if the kids don’t learn it at the beginning, they can review it by looking at the pinyin.
All Xu Wenzhe needed to do was explain to them the meaning of the sentence and the principles contained therein.
The first class mainly focuses on learning some pinyin, reading, writing and memorizing.
At the end of the class, Xu Wenzhe gave the students today's homework as Lu Xuan had asked.
The homework is to write each type of pinyin learned today twenty times and memorize it fluently, and then check it in class tomorrow.
【!!! You actually brought up homework, the root of all evil! You have no heart, host!】
【Sympathize with these little brats.】
Lu Xuan disagreed.
There is a truth in the saying that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
At least he didn't leave these children with homework that they needed to complete with their parents, which was already merciful.
After the Chinese class, there is a quarter-hour break, followed by the second class, mathematics.
We teach Arabic numerals. First we learn the numbers 0-9, and then we learn addition within 10.
Ji Xiuling and Xu Wenzhe both received emergency training for a few days before taking up their posts, and they also consolidated their knowledge during the training process.
The villagers were once again stunned by the earthworm-like numbers they had never seen before, and then subconsciously followed suit.
In order to allow the villagers to understand the specific content of each subject at one time, all four courses were arranged in one class on the first day.
The first survival class was taken in Wucheng.
There is no step-by-step progress like in the first two classes. The course starts with teaching students the skills to survive in the mountains, including how to walk on mountain roads more easily, how to identify directions, how to save yourself if you get lost, how to find water, etc.
I will give a brief introduction first, and then explain each one in detail later.
In the future, there will be content such as how to identify animal footprints, how to find prey, and how to save yourself when encountering wild beasts.
Hunter Gao Dalin mainly taught the children how to make traps; how to make weapons when they don’t have any; how to deal with emergencies if they are injured in the wild; and what herbs to find in the mountains to treat themselves.
Lu Xuan is mainly responsible for teaching some more advanced first aid methods that the ancients did not understand, including but not limited to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Heimlich first aid, fracture fixation, electric shock, self-rescue from drowning, and most importantly, how to save yourself in natural disasters.
Miao Jinfeng mainly teaches how to identify wild vegetables, edible wild fruits and mushrooms.
In short, the survival courses contain very useful and practical information.
As long as you learn it and can apply it skillfully in reality, it will not only be useful during disaster periods, but will also benefit you for the rest of your life.
The first class in the afternoon is combat class.
Long-range is to teach children how to use the crossbow correctly, including the grip and force method;
Close combat was simple. Half of the class was spent on horse stance, and in the remaining half, Lu Xuan used the blood-sucking vines to grow and launch an "attack" on the little guys, chasing them and making them jump up and down and scream.
Xiong Mao watched his son, his fat body trembling from being chased by the blood-sucking vines, and wondered, "Isn't this a combat class? Doesn't it teach you how to fight?"
Zhang Chengming, Li Jing and others were speechless.
Fighting and fighting are not two different things.
But they also found it quite strange and thought they could learn a few tricks from him.
Lu Xuan said calmly, "Why are you so anxious? You're just a bunch of little kids, not even as tall as a beast. If they really run into danger, do you think they can solve the problem with their bare hands?"
Ah, this...
The elders were speechless.
Lu Xuan said: "Rather than learning how to fight head-on, they should first learn how to escape and be as slippery as a loach."
"In troubled times, the most important thing for survival isn't how strong your fighting ability is, but how to survive. If you can survive to the end, you win."
Everyone looked confused.
What the hell?
Being a dog?
How did the kids win even though they were dogs?
It was Lei Yan, who often heard Lu Xuan say some strange words, who explained the meaning of "Guo" to them. Only then did the others understand and comprehend Lu Xuan's approach.
Everyone wants their children to be successful.
But if they were asked to choose between making their children stronger or living safely to old age, they would definitely choose the latter.
The task of becoming stronger can be left to the efforts of the elders, but for children, safety is definitely the most important thing.
Because the children in the class were of different ages, Lu Xuan slightly controlled the intensity of the vampire vine's pursuit.
For example, a boy like Li Miao, who is thirteen years old or above, has at least three thick vines chasing him, while Wei Yunyun, who is only three years old, has only one thin vine chasing her.
After all, the child is still young, he was only eight years old when the disaster ended, so just treat it as fitness.
The audience in the live broadcast room watched with great interest.
They originally wanted to see a bunch of little brats groaning and laughing, and pulling each other's hair, but it also seemed quite funny to see them being chased by vampire vines and screaming in pain after being whipped on the balls, hehehe.
Many people couldn't help but smile strangely.
The last subject is natural science.
The content of this course is quite diverse, including astronomy, geography, biology, and physics.
Because there were no specific textbooks and the Star Alliance books were not very suitable, Lu Xuan could only fill in the content by trying hard to recall the natural science courses and basic biology knowledge he learned as a child.
In this class, the kids will learn about photosynthesis and the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.
Understand that the world beneath our feet is round; what is universal gravitation; what is gravity; how solar and lunar eclipses are formed;
What different terrains exist around the world and how were these terrains formed? The evolutionary process from Paramecium to humans, and what Lu Chen had wondered before about what mammals are, etc.
In the first class, Lu Xuan did not explain in too much detail, but just briefly went over what he was going to teach.
Even so, this unprecedented knowledge still fascinates adults and children alike, as if it has opened the door to a new world.
The children, who were already full of curiosity about the world, were very excited, and the adults were even more interested. Many of them decided to audit this course more often when they had time in the future to hear how wonderful this world, which they had never cared about before, was.
At this point, all courses have been completed.
When Lu Xuan announced the end of today's class, everyone's faces showed a look of wanting more.
The adults suddenly realized what was happening and were so busy listening to the class that, except for the person in charge of operating the plant protection machine and watering the mushrooms, all their work for the day was delayed!
But when they thought about how much new knowledge they had absorbed that day, everyone felt that wasting a day was no big deal.
On the way back to boat No. 2 with the children, a group of people were discussing the five courses.
When the child was doing his homework, he was still reciting 'bpmf' and '1234' beside him.
…
Within two days of the kids starting school, the rain outside stopped completely, the temperature began to rise, the sun shone on the earth again, and the flood began to recede at a rate of at least two or three meters a day.
The villagers, who were suffocated by the continuous rain, took off their raincoats that had almost become one with them and walked and ran outside freely.
During this period, Lu Xuan was busy with another matter.
Digging a lotus pond.
He used his earth-based ability to dig a shallow pit of only 50 centimeters deep covering ten acres of land in the area that first emerged from the water, and then filled it with the lotus roots he dug from the wild lotus pond.
After laying the seeds to a height of about one-third, put the freshly baked mutant lotus seeds into the plant protection machine for sowing.
Previously, it only took Lu Xuan three to five days to cultivate other mutant species, but for some reason, it took him half a month to finally cultivate this lotus root.
Fortunately, the mutant lotus root performed quite well.
The longest original lotus root has only six sections, the average has only three or four sections, and the thickest is only as thick as an adult man's wrist.
After the mutation, these lotus roots were like they had been treated with growth enhancers. Not only were they as thick as Lu Xuan's thighs, but each section had at least nine segments, and the most could grow to 12 sections, completely breaking through the growth limit.
A mutant lotus root with 12 sections can weigh more than 20 kilograms, and even a lotus root with nine sections can weigh 14 or 15 kilograms.
In addition, Lu Xuan also improved the growth rate of lotus roots.
He didn't know before that not all lotus flowers have lotus roots. It was only after many of them were grown during the cultivation process that he discovered that only half of the original lotus flowers they found had lotus roots.
No wonder the yield per mu is only 800 kilograms!
After his special improvements, although the growth rate still cannot reach 100%, it can basically guarantee 80%.
In this way, as long as the nutrition of the lotus pond can keep up, the per-acre yield of lotus root should be able to increase three to five times from the original basis without any accidents.
After sowing the seeds, spray the nutrient solution and inject about 10 cm deep water, and the lotus pond is completed.
Later, when the lotus seedlings grow out, the water level can be slowly raised. According to Lu Xuan's experiment, the most suitable water depth for the original species is more than 20 centimeters, but the mutant species is different and needs to be increased to 50 centimeters.
The maturity cycle is the same as that in the field, it matures in one month, and the first harvest can only be harvested during the extremely cold season.
After digging the lotus pond, Lu Xuan suddenly wanted to eat lotus seeds.
After sending a message to Lu Qing, who was busy in the mushroom house, saying that she wanted to eat lotus seeds, there were pumpkin and lotus seed porridge and lotus seed, yam and pork ribs soup on the Lu family's dinner table at noon that day, which was both delicious and nutritious.
Lu Xuan's lotus seeds were saved during the process of cultivating mutant varieties. In half a month, he had saved several hundred kilograms, which was enough to eat before the next batch of lotus roots matured.
·
That night, something good happened that Lu Xuan had been looking forward to for a long time.
After more than a month's absence, new special-ability users finally appeared in the village again, and there were still two of them.
The side effects lasted one day shorter for one person than for the other, so even though they took the evolutionary fluids one after the other, they awakened on the same day.
These two people are Wei Xiang’s man Jiang Fan, and Su Ying.
