Chapter 62: The Bowen Hall
After the more than 200 people were settled, Xiao Ming asked Chen Wenlong to register Lu Tong and others the next day, and all of them were included in the Equipment Division. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were a total of 231 people who stayed this time, most of them between the ages of thirteen and twenty, and those who were the oldest were probably family people, so they chose to leave.
"Which of you is literate?"
After registering, Xiao Ming asked, now he needs to find out the knowledge level of these people.
There was silence.
Xiao Ming instantly understood that none of these 200 or so people were literate, which was also expected by him, after all, this era was an era with an extremely low knowledge popularization rate.
And this is destined to take a long process to train these people, and even if they are taught overly complex techniques, they will not be able to understand them now.
After all, the scientific and technological spar can only transmit knowledge, and present various technical steps in their minds in the form of images, etc., and the application of knowledge requires realistic exploration.
For example, blast furnace iron-making and paper coke burning were all really mastered by Chen Qi after many failures, and what he taught Chen Qi was only technical knowledge, and Chen Qi understood and mastered this technology in practice.
However, at least there is one thing that is still gratifying about the technology spar, that is, when Xiao Ming imparts knowledge to them, the other party can easily remember the knowledge he imparted.
Although it is not possible to memorize it, it is still possible to retain 80% of the memory at one time, and in this way, the efficiency of teaching will be greatly enhanced.
"In that case, the first thing this king will do is to teach you to read." Xiao Ming said.
This group of people will be the core technical backbone of Qingzhou in the future, and it will definitely not work if they are illiterate, but Xiao Ming will not teach them traditional characters, but is ready to teach them vernacular characters.
In the future, Qingzhou's technical information will use vernacular characters, which is also for the confidentiality of technology and information, of course, even if the vernacular characters, because they generally figure it out, they must be able to recognize some of the people of Dayu, but as long as 50% of them are not recognized, it is enough.
In order to speed up the memory of Lu Tong and others, he adopted modern pinyin teaching, teaching them little by little from the most basic words.
In the morning, he taught all the pinyin to Lu Tong and others, and checked their learning results, and the effect made them very satisfied, and each of them memorized most of the syllables and letters.
In the afternoon, Xiao Ming did not teach them to read again, but taught them mathematics, from the simplest Arabic numerals to addition and subtraction within ten.
In general, he teaches much faster in a day than the normal curriculum of primary school students, one is that they are older and more self-disciplined than primary school students, and secondly, they are highly motivated to learn.
In this era, being able to read is a very lofty thing, and for what is lacking, people have always been eager to get it, at least today, Lu Tong and others are very focused when they go to class.
In the evening, Chen Wenlong brought a plaque with the following words: Bowen Hall, this is the positioning of this courtyard, and this will be the education base of Qingzhou in the future.
"Lu Tong, take them to review their knowledge at night, now you don't need to undertake other work, and there are servants to take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Lu Tong was the most active among these teenagers, Chen Wenlong came over with a plaque, and he sensibly ran over to help hang it up.
"Your Highness, how can we have such preferential treatment, how can we repay His Highness's great kindness." Lu Tong is still a little unaccustomed, from a slave who does errands to a literate scholar, this has changed too much.
Xiao Ming smiled: "This is only temporary, when you learn the real skills, then you will need to serve this king, and then you will think about how to repay this king, and now you can teach you this king to repay this king." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Lu Tong said.
At present, more than 200 people are teenagers, Xiao Ming is afraid that Lu Tong will not be able to suppress these teenagers of the same age, and said to everyone: "From today onwards, this is the Bowen Hall, and there will continue to be people who come here to study, I hope you can cherish the opportunity in front of you, if any of you don't want to forge ahead, this king can only give him some silver, let him fend for himself, don't blame this king for being ruthless, just choose you to come here, in order to revitalize your homeland, not to be missed, now this king orders Lu Tong to be your senior, All of you are to obey his commands. “
The young men bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness." “
Xiao Ming nodded, the meaning of the word senior in Dayu is that the school is in charge of supervising all classes of students to abide by the regulations of the school, and cooperate with the position of teachers and educating students.
After a few more words of Lu Tong's explanation, Xiao Ming and Chen Wenlong walked out of the school, and the guards in front of the school closed the door.
Xiao Ming stipulated that the students of the academy could travel for one day at will every seven days, and they had to study in the academy the rest of the time.
"Your Highness, can you also let the dog come to this school to listen to His Highness's teachings." Entering the palace from the side door of the alley, Chen Wenlong suddenly said.
Xiao Ming laughed, "Why did Chen Bingcao suddenly have such an idea. ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, the dog is only a shallow learner, but some little cleverness, if you still don't want to make progress every day, you will be embarrassed and useful in the future." Chen Wenlong said.
"Parents are sons, they must plan for the long term, although Chen Bingcao is strict with Chen Qi, he also loves his son, Chen Bingcao can rest assured, there is a place for Chen Qi in this liberal arts hall." Xiao Ming said.
Chen Wenlong showed a happy look, "Your Highness Xie raises love." ”
Xiao Ming waved his hand, "You are all the ministers of this king's humerus, this is as it should be." ”
Chen Wenlong's body trembled slightly, and a minister of humerus was enough to deeply move him.
After thanking him, Chen Wenlong went back, and he wanted to tell Chen Qi the news.
Luluo has been following Xiao Ming today, and now she finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Your Highness, what you taught today are some strange things, why have I never heard of them." “
Both Pothos and Aster have read books, so they naturally know that what Xiao Ming taught Lu Tong and others was not formal words, but some words that seemed strange to her.
"This is the king's secret, don't tell it to the public." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
The pothos nodded, not daring to ask again.
At this time, the dinner in the palace has been prepared, different from the embarrassment two months ago, the food is now a little richer, in addition to pastries, there are also some stir-fried dishes.
In addition to the fact that the palace now has silver in the treasury, it is also because the merchants gathered in Qingzhou and brought abundant goods.
A few days ago, Xiao Ming asked the equipment department to specially build an iron pot for the palace, plus a briquette stove, and the cooking hardware is available.
"Your Highness, this is the chicken you want." , Sitting down at the table, Ku Ding brought the iron pot up, and the fragrance of the pot chicken came to his nose, Xiao Ming couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
