Chapter 562: The Great Plain (Please vote and subscribe)
The turmoil over going to school continued to ferment in the three counties. Those children who knew they were about to go to school also began to get excited and gathered in groups of three or two. The main behaviors were as follows:
being caught by their parents to take a bath, being caught by their parents to measure the size of new clothes, escaping from their parents' clutches to go out and play, and running to the school building in groups of three or five to "visit"
Of course, there were also more serious ones, such as parents working in workshops or government offices, who understood the importance of learning more. After learning knowledge, they would get a good job in the future, or become an official, or a skilled craftsman. Even if they went back to farm or raise livestock, they could do better than others. In short, there was one idea: go to school, learn the skills taught by the leader, and no matter what they do in the future, they will have more opportunities to make merit and get a title than those who have not been to school.
What is a title? A title is the status of the Han tribe, which means more land, more assets, more privileges, and a better life.
The children of these families are highly expected, because their parents have their current status and identity because they learned to read from the chief, so they attach more importance to this opportunity.
However, those farmers who don't quite understand what going to school is are not fools who don't know anything. They don't know what to teach in school, but they must be taught Chinese characters. Now there is such a phenomenon in the Han tribe that people who can write can be reused by the chief and occupy a large number of official systems. So if their children can learn to write, then their families may also have someone wearing official uniforms and Liangguan.
Of course, they are right to think so. After all, the formal education of the Han tribe has just begun. The results of the first batch of education must be very popular. No matter what walks of life in society, people with culture can do better if they join. This idea is definitely correct.
Therefore, under the supervision of parents, many children also began to take going to school seriously. Another point that attracted them even more was that there was such a saying in the Han tribe that the knowledge and skills taught by the chief were taught in school.
And who is the leader of the Han tribe? He is a figure that has been mythified by the people, and is an idol in the minds of many young people. He is the boy who is about the same age as them. He led the tribe to grow day by day when he was just over ten years old, and has come to this day. Compared with the oldest among them, he is only one or two years older.
This is completely a personal worship, and it is also a very profound reflection of Luo Chong's influence on the people. In short, it is personal charm. He is the spiritual leader they worship.
Now that they have been selected to enter the school, at the same age as the leader, they begin to learn the knowledge taught by the leader himself, which means that they are one step closer to their idol. How can this not make people excited.
And here in Luo Chong, he is also holding a meeting with those teachers in a large classroom to study the allocation of personnel, which ones need to stay in the Hanyang City campus, which ones need to move to the Liuyang County campus, and how to divide the classes next.
"I'm going to tell you now, remember this, the purpose of our teaching is to train more talents for the tribe, so how can we achieve the goal of training talents faster, better and more efficiently? As
you all know, I am not recruiting students of one age this time, but from seven to twelve years old. You can teach those who are younger in the normal way, but those who are about to become adults will soon enter the society. We can't keep so many adults in school, which will affect the operation of our tribe.
So when it comes to class division, you have to divide them according to age.
I'll talk about the younger ones first, from seven to ten years old. Seven to eight years old will be grouped together, and then divided equally according to the total number of people. There will be 60 people in a class, and boys and girls must be evenly separated. The ratio of boys to girls in each class must be similar. Nine to ten years old will also be grouped together, and the method is the same.
These two groups of students must start from Start teaching from the most basic level, and teach according to our syllabus. Don’t be in a hurry, but teach well. I hope that these children can become talents in a few years.
The rest are the older ones, ten, eleven, and twelve years old. These three ages are divided into classes respectively, and the same age is divided into one group, because these are all about to enter the society to work, so they must be educated differently and quickly.
Don’t expect to be elites. I ask you to mainly achieve two words, that is, "literacy."
Especially for the twelve-year-old group, my requirement is that they don’t need to learn poetry and Chinese etiquette, but they must establish correct social values for them, learn the social ethics that people should have, and the most important point, that is, they must learn to read and write Chinese characters. This is the most important point.
In addition, in terms of mathematics, you also teach in the normal way. You don’t require everyone in this group to be proficient, but you must select those with good math grades and then train them specifically. Focus on training.
Another very important thing is that for this group of twelve-year-old students, 25% of their course time must be used for interest education.
What does this mean? It means that half of the morning or half of the afternoon must be set aside every day for them to take interest activity classes, mainly to learn experience and abilities, and to train talents in a targeted manner.
For example, if they like mathematics, you can ask the students what they want to do in the future, whether they want to work as an accountant in a government office, or to be a craftsman in a workshop. If he wants to be a craftsman, then take out half a day every day to organize these people with the same hobbies, and send them to the workshop to visit, study, and intern, starting as an apprentice. Use the knowledge they have learned in class to become a better craftsman, and strive to allow these people to be able to directly engage in work after one year.
Of course, it’s also right to like farming and breeding. We have nature classes and interest classes . If you like biology, you can also organize them to participate in internships at farms during activity classes, let them learn about breeding techniques in person, and see if they can make any useful innovations with the knowledge they have learned.
You can also observe the growth process of various crops during the busy farming season to see if there are any better ways to grow more food or how to improve the efficiency of farm work. These can all be discussed and studied by students. The
same is true for girls. There are also many female teachers among you. You should be more concerned about the future of these girls, whether they are learning textile technology, clothing cutting, farming and breeding, and even if they have outstanding grades, you can support them to stay in school to teach. This is also true for boys.
You are the first batch of teachers in the Han tribe, but you are definitely not the last batch. In the future, our teaching team will only continue to expand, so you should also pay more attention to your successors.
The same is true for the remaining ten-year-olds and eleven-year-olds. As they get older, they can pay more attention to their all-round development. However, students of these two ages should also participate in interest-based activity classes. The proportion of courses can be less, but they must be there.
For example, ten-year-olds should have an activity class once a week, one afternoon at a time, so that they can do more things and learn more skills.
Eleven-year-olds should have activity classes twice a week, or once every two days, so that they can learn more. When they reach the age of twelve, they should also increase the frequency to one activity class a day, so that they can prepare for starting a family and building a career in the future.
Another point, which is very important, is that older people are allowed to fall in love, but they cannot mess around. If anyone does that before graduation, he will be convicted directly and I will kill him. Forced behavior is not allowed. Those who want to get married and have children should wait until they graduate and become adults. The government office will issue an independent household registration and land, and they can have children after they are officially married and get a certificate.
Remember this bottom line. There is no benefit in forcing children to have children at a young age. The risk of having children is very high. This must be noted and they must be warned.
Okay, there are no other things for the time being. Did you write them down? "
Luo Chong sat on the podium to hold a meeting for them, and sometimes he would write some of the key issues he had said on the blackboard for the hundreds of teachers below to take notes. The meeting lasted for about an hour. After Luo Chong felt that he had almost finished speaking, he stood up and asked the teachers.
"I've written it down."
"Understood."
The teachers all responded and put down their pens. The papers on the table were already filled with lines of text.
"Well, that's it. Let's adjourn the meeting. Go back and summarize the content of today's meeting. You will all be taking up your posts soon. I hope you can all work hard and educate more talents for our Han tribe. "
Luo Chong encouraged many teachers, and then directly announced the adjournment of the meeting. The teachers below also stood up and bowed to see the leader off.
After the meeting, these teachers also packed up and set off for their own work units. Those in Hanyang City were exempted from this, and they did not need to move. Those who were assigned to Liuyang County had to leave now. They also had to arrange for moving. There was a ready-made house over there, and they could just move in with their bags. The main thing was to get familiar with the school environment over there first.
After Luo Chong returned home, the first wife Xiaodie and the second wife Zhan Ying were also busy. Although they were pregnant, they were not pregnant for a long time, so it did not affect their activities. Therefore, Luo Chong arranged a task for them in the past few days, which was to teach the women in the city to make school bags.
The style of the school bag was invented by Luo Chong. One is a shoulder bag with a long strap, and the other is a rectangular cloth bag with two ropes crossed on the top. The ends of the ropes are sewn on the two corners below the bag, so that the top of the bag can be pulled and tightened with ropes, and after tightening, it can become a simple backpack.
This is what Luo Chong learned when he was a child . I saw a kind of backpack that was very popular in the school. It was not a formal schoolbag, but a portable small bag for taking homework home at noon. It could only hold a few books. It was also very easy to make. The key was that it did not require zippers or metal buckles, and it was not very troublesome to sew one by hand. The
style and production method had been spread. As for whether the people would use it, that was not Luo Chong's concern. Perhaps some smart people could improve it, or they might not be able to afford it due to family conditions. But in the current situation
of the Han tribe, there were no families that were so poor that they could not afford a piece of cloth. It was just a question of whether they were willing to give it up. Time passed in busy preparations. Half of August had passed quietly. The sailing factory in Liuyang County had produced three new ships, of which Youye's fleet still had two. He was now responsible for geographical surveying and mapping work within the great lake. There were not many opportunities to use large ships, so two were enough. On the contrary, the attendance rate of small boats was higher, because in some narrower waterways and shallower waters, small boats had higher passability than large ships. Sometimes bamboo rafts were even used. Large boats were more difficult to use. The ship became a mobile integrated supply station.
So Luo Chong directly allocated these three new ships to Jing Yan and Yu Mao for use as materials and equipment transport ships for their coal mine development. Together with the previous sailboat, there are now a total of four sailboats traveling between Liuyang County and the Deer Tribe, constantly transporting various preliminary exploration equipment and daily necessities, as well as more personnel.
After leaving the Barbarian Tribe, the Youfu fleet continued to move downstream to the southeast, and they also discovered a wider world.
The Barbarian Tribe territory discovered before is a piece of flat land that is very suitable for human habitation. The bottom is flat and the soil is fertile. It relies only on rivers and forests, which is very suitable for farming, grazing and settlement.
However, after they continued to walk downstream for a few days, they found that there were fewer high mountains, mostly low hills, and stone mountains were basically no longer seen. Even if there were mountains, after field reconnaissance, they found that most of them were earth mountains with lush vegetation and many plains. The rivers were more stable and wider, basically maintaining a width of about 300 meters.
They More large animals were also found in this place. Moas were common, elephants and rhinos were also common, and there were many wild cattle, horses, and antelopes. In contrast, there were wolves, leopards, saber-toothed tigers in groups, cave lions without manes, bears in the forest, some vegetarian giant tapirs, monkeys, foxes, rabbits and other small creatures that fed on them.
Finally, Youfu, who often went out, came to a conclusion that this should be a plain that was not inferior to the western grasslands, or even much larger than the western grasslands. It should be parallel to the grasslands, on the east side of the grassland lake, and across the lake from the grasslands.
It is just that I don’t know how the resources in these places are distributed. Otherwise, this plain should be more suitable for development than the current mountainous area of the Han tribe in terms of topography.
Of course, there are also many humans here. The abundance of animal resources means sufficient food. Although there are more beasts, since the day when humans learned to use fire and make tools and weapons, no animal can be a match for humans, so Youfu naturally encountered a large human tribe here.
