Chapter 635: Writing Teaching Materials

The memories of youth are really intoxicating, Li An stood in the water flushing toilet that had not yet been built, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile of memory, smiling very happily and sweetly, and also very nostalgic.

However, Ang Lee did not want such a thing to happen again in the local area, so as not to affect the physical and mental development of local children and delay their studies.

In addition, due to the insufficient number of gentlemen, the temporary enrollment scale is not large, so Ang Lee does not plan to recruit female students, and it will not be too late to recruit female students after the team of gentlemen grows in the future.

After recruiting girls, they will choose the innermost corner of the school as the toilet, and the two toilets are nearly 100 meters apart, which can definitely put an end to the idea of curious people.

The school is a place to learn knowledge, not a place to explore curiosity, anything that has nothing to do with learning must be suppressed as much as possible, after all, people's energy is very limited, if the energy is invested in other aspects, then, the energy used in learning will be obviously insufficient, and the consequences of this will naturally be the abandonment of learning, the lessons of the past are vivid, how can Li Ang let history repeat itself.

To prevent the idea of early love, Ang Lee will also ask his subordinates to warn the gentlemen, let them pay more attention, and must create a good learning environment, so that the local children can learn the Tang language and knowledge as soon as possible, so as to become the first batch of local people who admire the Tang culture, and when they become adults, they can join the team of Mr. and continue to teach local children knowledge, so that more local people can understand the language and history of the Tang Dynasty and be full of yearning for the Tang Empire.

For some students who are particularly good at learning, they will naturally be given certain material rewards, and if they perform particularly well, they can also go to Chang'an City, the most prosperous city in Datang, for free to study and get in touch with the real Datang culture.

Li Andu has recalled these long-term visions many times, and every time he feels very happy, it is his biggest dream in this life to open up overseas territories for Datang.

After all, Ang Lee has already got everything he can get now, there is a lot of money, there are as many beauties as he wants, and the food and drink are also the most high-end, if he doesn't open up overseas territories for Datang, life will seem to have no pursuit, so, what's the point of living?

Pursuit, continuous pursuit, in order to make life more colorful, in order to make one's life more meaningful, in order to make oneself happier.

Walking out of the water flushing toilet that was about to be completed, Ang Lee casually walked around the rather large playground, and then went to the teaching area.

Four buildings were being built at the same time, two of which were teaching buildings in the front, the one on the left behind was the office and the dormitory, and the one on the right was still the teaching building.

Of course, this is only a preliminary plan, and it can be adjusted at any time in the future, and the authority for this adjustment is in the hands of the principal.

Although the house is still in the stage of construction, the most basic prototype is already very clear, each building is four large houses, and each large house is enough to accommodate fifty or sixty people, of course, in the case of spacious rooms, it is not impossible for a room to accommodate a dozen people, depending on the specific situation.

In this way, three school buildings are 12 classrooms, and if a house can accommodate 10 children, it is enough to take on the teaching task of 120 people, and if a house can accommodate 60 students, it can accommodate 700 teachers and students, depending on the specific situation.

One office was sufficient, and the remaining three large houses could be used as dormitories for the gentleman, if they were willing to live in the academy.

Of course, there are also rooms such as warehouses, so that classrooms that are not yet in use can be used temporarily if there are not enough rooms.

The core building of the whole school is these four big houses, in order to save money is a single-storey structure, and the temporary source of students is also insufficient, and the construction of multi-storey buildings is also a waste.

Because the construction was underway, there was a certain degree of danger, so Li Ang did not get too close to these main buildings, and took a few steps back after taking a look.

"There is a statue to stand in this position, the statue of the Confucian saint, this must be there."

An official in charge of directing the construction opened his mouth to direct the coolies.

The location of this statue is directly opposite the gate, dozens of steps away from the gate, and it can be said that it is in the middle of the playground, so that students can pay tribute to the statue of the Tang literati when they get out of class.

"Li Shilang, do you have any other advice?"

The subordinates saw Li An standing at the construction site of the school and asked.

Li An nodded and said: "You did a good job, but the construction of the academy can be completed in seven or eight days at most, and the enrollment work must be carried out in advance, and from now on, you can recruit nearby students." ”

"Yes, Li Shilang, let's do it."

The subordinates put down their work on the construction site and went to organize recruitment.

Because of the language barrier, it was difficult for Datang officials to recruit students directly, so they had to contact the local wealthy class, ask them to send their children to the school, and ask the rich people to convey to the poor about the school's enrollment of students.

The enrollment work was carried out quickly, and the effect was still very good, because the teaching was all free, and there was a lunch at noon, which was very attractive to many poor people, even if they were rich, they also hoped that their children could learn the language of the Tang Dynasty, after all, they had more knowledge and understood that their children would be more promising if they learned a foreign language.

Ang Lee's original plan was to enroll one or two hundred children near Tanar, and then expand the enrollment when the number of gentlemen was sufficient.

However, the results of enrollment and registration made Li Ang stunned, there were thousands of children who signed up to come to the school to study, which greatly exceeded Li An's expectations, and the current Mr. and teaching resources could not be satisfied, so the enrollment work must be stopped immediately, and the enrollment can not be continued to be advertised.

"Li Shilang, these are the registration materials for more than 1,000 children, what do you think?"

The subordinates are very serious about their work, and the information of each student is very well counted, and it is neatly placed in front of Ang Lee.

Li An casually flipped through some information and said, "There are too many, the school can't accommodate it at all, it's enough to choose three hundred children from them." ”

"Li Shilang, what is the principle of choice?"

The subordinate asked.

Li An thought for a moment and replied: "Family situation, we must first admit children from wealthy families." ”

Although the children of the poor need to come to school more urgently, they need to learn more knowledge, and they also need that free lunch, but according to Ang Lee's understanding, only the children of the rich are most suitable to study first.

The level of nutrition and health from an early age determines that the children of the rich are better able and will definitely learn faster, as for the lack of perseverance, they only need more guidance from their husbands.

As for the children of the poor people, due to the lack of nutrition, the level of intellectual development is bound to be relatively low, and the poorer the children, the more naughty they are, the most disobedient, and the probability of success is also very small.

As for why the market is full of the theory of success of the poor, it is because of the special national environment, the political power is won by the poor, so in all aspects must reflect the greatness and wisdom of the poor, a certain place where the poor are admitted to a good school, it will inevitably carry out vigorous propaganda, creating the illusion that only the poor can learn well, and the rich are all children of the poor, and they do not seek to improve.

Of course, with the development of the economy, the children of the poor will soon die, and in the end it will still be the children of the rich and the middle class who will do better.

There is an old saying that poverty restricts people's thinking, limits people's horizons, and makes it more difficult for people to succeed.

Therefore, after some thinking, Ang Lee decided to pick up the children of the rich families first and start enrolling, and then recruit the children of the poor families when the conditions are better.

Moreover, the rich class are relatively well-known figures, and only by recruiting their children first will they not cause chaos, and if they recruit the children of the poor first, these rich people will not be angry.

Although the poor class lost a chance, as long as Datang gave a promise and promised to expand the enrollment as soon as possible, they would not have much opinion, after all, they had been enslaved for too long, and they would take it for granted that they would give good things to the rich class first.

After making some promises, Datang officials successfully selected 300 children to study in the school a few days later, when it was completed, in order to complete their studies.

Li An has also been busy these days, he has been preparing teaching materials, although the dozen or so gentlemen recruited are specifically responsible for teaching, but these temporary gentlemen are really very limited, and their abilities in all aspects are not as good as Li An, except for knowing the local language, there is nothing commendable.

Ang Lee personally wrote some simple teaching materials for these gentlemen to teach, which can be regarded as a contribution to the Tanar Academy, and there will be a rather comfortable sense of accomplishment.

The language is not very easy to write, because Ang Lee does not understand the local language, so there is no way to write the language subject, so he can only let these gentlemen write and teach.

Arithmetic is mathematics, in this regard, Ang Lee's strength is still very strong, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there is really no one who is better than Ang Lee's arithmetic, such as calculus, the knowledge of several yuan several equations, except for Ang Lee, there is really no one who knows this thing.

Therefore, Ang Lee volunteered to compile the basic knowledge of arithmetic, that is, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, etc., as for esoteric knowledge such as calculus, Ang Lee did not write it, with the IQ of these children, it is too difficult for them to learn too esoteric knowledge.

Arithmetic is the focus of Li An's compilation, and Li An's work in the past few days is mainly used to compile arithmetic textbooks, as for history, Li Ang also participated, but the main work was handed over to his subordinate officials.

In terms of historical knowledge, there are still many talents under Ang Lee's command, and their level is not worse than Ang Lee, and even more powerful than Ang Lee.

Days of writing made Li Ang quite tired, and when he looked in the mirror, he found that he had dark circles under his eyes, but as long as he saw that the teaching materials and teaching materials he had compiled were so perfect, he was still very proud.

After compiling the teaching materials, the next step is to print, if not printing, how can the children have a copy, only let each child have a book in his hand, so that the learning is fast enough, and it is easy to review after going back.

There were 300 students in the first batch, plus a small number of gentlemen, who needed more than 300 books, so much demand, if it was copied by hand, it would definitely be a waste of time, and only the method of printing was the most reliable.

The equipment for movable type printing in Datang, Li An did not brought, and the movable type printing also has limitations, only the text of the Tang Dynasty, and later added some characters from Tubo and other places, but the text of the Lion Country is absolutely none, so if you want to print these more than 300 teaching materials, you can only use other methods.

Before movable type printing was invented by Ang Lee, Datang used engraving printing, however, after Ang Lee invented engraving printing, with the gradual development of technology, and finally invented wax paper printing, compared with movable type printing, wax paper printing is more convenient and fast, but the only drawback is that it needs to consume wax paper, and the manufacture of wax paper is not too easy, so the price is naturally more expensive.

Ang Lee didn't care about being expensive, as long as it was convenient, he brought a lot of coins and wax paper with him when he set off south, and now they can come in handy.

As for why Ang Lee brought this kind of thing, it was not to prepare for printing books, it was just to prevent what might happen along the way, and it would never be wrong to bring more items.

Except for Ang Lee, the newly recruited more than ten gentlemen don't know how to use coins and wax paper at all, but as long as they can write, it won't be too difficult to learn this thing, and it will be easy to learn.

Ang Lee first gave the gentlemen a hard pen and a piece of wax paper, let them practice first, and then give them more wax paper when they were able to use it proficiently, and let them write their own teaching materials on the wax paper.

There is a lot of content in the arithmetic written by Ang Lee himself, and it is estimated that there are more than 50 sheets! If it is written one by one, it will be enough for Ang Lee to work for a long time, but Ang Lee has already cultivated helpers, and the two little guys, Yuna and Beauty, have already learned to use a hard pen and wax paper.

In order to cultivate these two guys, when they were in Chang'an City, Li Anke did not break the wax paper, at least more than 100 pieces of wax paper were ruined by Yun'er and the beauty, in addition to writing, they also used wax paper to draw pictures, and painted Li An's peerless face uglier than passers-by.
