Chapter 161: Technical barriers that are difficult to break through
Li Wei looked at the picture of primary school students of all ethnic groups holding all kinds of snacks in front of the school and showing pure and bright smiles, and couldn't help but smile happily.
It seems that he has forgotten that with his age, in the eyes of the dragon clan, he is just a dragon cub who has just entered the youth.
The construction of the school was an idea that Levi had when he built Hogg Mining after the initial reunification of Zeelandia, not just a slogan and a means to win people's hearts.
Levi's goal in the future is to create a mining oligarchy that spans the entire Corell continent and even goes to the upper and lower outer planes.
Be real, have a mine at home!
But to accomplish this grand goal, it is absolutely impossible to achieve it by relying only on the enthusiastic miners and the miners!
The existence of an oligarchy that can be called an industry oligarchy must require many middle-level managers who have received a certain amount of education and have the ability to implement the will of the upper level.
And Correll is not a blue star, most of the territory here, due to various complex reasons, is still stagnant in the era of feudal city-state kingship.
In this social context, most of the educational resources are monopolized by the aristocracy or a small group of people in the upper class, and ordinary people need to pay an unimaginable price if they want to acquire knowledge.
Levi had heard Calvin say that in their city of Jishui, if a person born into an ordinary family wanted to reach the level of basic literacy and hyphenation, he would have to spend a lot of money to go to some teachers' homes to get a little instruction.
And the extent of this kind of teaching depends on whether the teacher is not dedicated and responsible.
If you encounter something irresponsible, there are many people who just throw a few textbooks and let the students study on their own for a few minutes.
Most of the basic arithmetic can only be applied to some merchant stores, because they need to provide some basic training, in order to be qualified for the position of buddy in the store.
But this often requires the signing of a harsh agreement, and it is possible to serve the merchant for more than how many years with a basic salary or even only food and lodging.
This is still an ordinary family who can save some money through labor to pursue knowledge.
If they are slaves who are not even civilians, they will have a problem with their basic survival, let alone education.
After some in-depth understanding of the masses, Li Wei got a simple fact that somewhat ruined the three views.
In Correll, in terms of education, except for the colleges established by some large city-states and the tutoring model of the aristocracy, most of them are actually monopolized by the major churches of the gods!
Yes... You heard it right.
In the Corer Continent, the people with the highest average level of education are not the masters who know astronomy and geography and can fire cannons, nor the nobles who are bullish and coaxed to give up others, but the obscure priests of the major churches.
There is also a competition between the beliefs of the gods, but you can't just draw a knife and cut it if you don't agree with each other.
Hence the eloquence, which originally existed to promote its own teachings and attract more believers.
Therefore, in terms of literacy and hyphenation, it is also divided into three aspects: grammar, rhetoric and logic.
Without a grasp of basic grammar and rhetoric, how can one preach the doctrine of belief in gods? Without basic logic, it will be refuted by other priests every minute.
You have disgraced the gods, how can you get the favor of the gods?
And as a spokesman for the gods, he can speak and write, but he is still not qualified for the job of a priest.
On the basis of these three items, several courses were developed: arithmetic, music, and prayer.
Arithmetic began as a daily count of the money received by the church from the faithful and the nobility. Music is studied in order to better praise the teachings and stories of the gods.
Prayer, on the other hand, is a way to elevate one's faith and acquire divine magic.
Later, I don't know if the pastor felt that one-on-one or one-to-several teaching was too ineffective, so there was a church college.
For example, in the city of Gerthorne, there is a spider school.
But Rose's teachings are too bizarre to be a universal example.
In the early days of the Church College, in addition to teaching these, these children had to do two things, copying the scriptures and laboring.
Even if many pre-pastors don't know the words at all, they can only draw a scoop from a gourd.
Priests see it as a way to learn and practice.
The doctrinal scriptures were copied so much that they gradually became early libraries...
The masters looked at it, hey, this method is good, the more books and other things, the better.
So this group of hanging walls even developed the zero-ring trick of [Copying] for this purpose...
Under normal circumstances, such elite-educated groups must serve the interests of their families or forces as their first priority.
Even if he defected to Levi, Levi wouldn't dare to use it before he was screened and reviewed.
In order to consider this, it is the only way to build an educational institution of its own and cultivate its own talent pool.
Otherwise, even if Hogg Mining and Zelandia become bigger and bigger together, they will face many inevitable problems:
Spies, defections, clashes of faith, and so on.
Although the construction of schools may still not be able to eliminate this problem, it can at least prevent more than 90% of the problem.
In the meeting before he fell asleep eight years ago, Levi had already set the basic tone with the Igers.
Due to the problem of financial and educational resources, a Zeelandia mining school was built first.
Nine-year! Free! Mandatory!
When Levi shouted these words, he only felt that his heart was dripping blood.
But yes, in the current society, even if it is a child, it is labor.
If it weren't for the free, I'm afraid many short-sighted parents wouldn't let their children go to school.
And in the course, it also made Eagle and them argue for a long time, and finally settled on a plan.
Namely: Chinese, Mathematics, Foreign Languages (tentative Elven and Dragon), Politics (Hogg Mine), Martial Arts (Physical Training, Basic Martial Arts), Fundamentals of Magic (Nature, Geometry) and Introduction to Arcane (Physics, Alchemy, Biology), Introduction to Faith, and Music.
Levi almost smiled after taking a look at the final plan before leaving, and then deeply mourned for the next generation of Hoag Mining for three seconds.
Nima, this elementary school program is estimated to drive all the high school students in Blue Star crazy.
However, according to Levi's current opinion, the expressions of those bear children do not look like they are too burdened.
'Hmm... It seems that I can propose to Eagle and them later, in foreign languages, the devil's language, the devil's language, and the dwarven language can also be put on the agenda, at least the dwarven language can come in handy in the future business negotiations with the dwarves in the Mithril Hall. Levi thought.
After the two rats ate a beautiful meal of grilled fish in the commercial street, they said goodbye.
What made Levi feel a little emotional was that this Cavins Rat Brother Gui whispered to him before parting to try Hogg Mining's 'Holy Calling', and that expression was like promoting 'Amway', which made Levi speechless for a while.
Perhaps to the Calvinian rats, who were brainwashed and poisoned, this so-called 'vocation' is simply a way to become a rat on a rat in one fell swoop, and once successful, they can wash away their sins, become famous, and become a more valuable Cavins rat to Zeelandia.
Even if you fail, you just return to Heaven...
Just when Levi didn't release the [psychological suggestion], he directly swaggered into Hoag Mining from the main entrance with grilled dried fish.
The young lady of the Drow clerk at the front desk thought that he was here to apply for the transformation quota of the 'Extreme War Mouse', so she stood up and handed him a form:
"Little Brother Mouse, you came so late, I'm afraid you won't be able to take the physical examination today. Oh, this is your number, follow the instructions on the wall, go to the third square at the back of the building to line up to register. ”
"Yes, yes!
Levi ignored the surprised look of the Drow clerk, and with great interest, he took the declaration form and followed the signs on the wall all the way to the plaza behind the building, where he saw the Cavins rats queuing up.
At the end of the line, you can see that there are several areas, and legal personnel wearing white coats and masks are conducting various tests on them, the most important of which is to draw blood.
But as far as Levi could see, a large part of the Cavins rats were directly brushed off, and then they could only silently put on their courier hats and walk out with their heads down and sighing.
And those who are waiting to be tested, many of them are looking next door with envy.
There, the Cavins Rat Brothers, who have been successfully transformed, are also conducting physical fitness tests and even actual combat exercises.
Then Levi saw an acquaintance, Iggy.
He actually came here in person today.
Just as Levi was approaching, he heard Eagle look at the test data and shake his head and say to himself:
"It's still not possible, the gap in the technical foundation is too big, and these items can't be realized at all for the time being. ”f
