"Go and go, play while playing, don't stand in the way on the road, if you touch it, I can't afford to pay for it!"

Thursday pushed a cart of stout timber and yelled at children playing on the concrete pavement.

No wonder he was upset. The car is pulling heavy things, in case it touches, who should bear the responsibility?

But it was useless for him to get angry. The hired workers in the ironworks, plus the miners on the mountain, and the hard-working figures like him, could have numbered thousands.

Thousands of people are thousands of families, and there are thousands of children. Nowadays, there are frequent wars, refugees are all over the mountains, and eating and drinking are problems, who will especially discipline these naughty children.

Go to school, learn the four books and five classics, and dress up neatly, that is a matter of the Taiping years. Now parents are busy making a living, just thinking about filling their stomachs and their families, where to take care of their studies, just like this herding sheep, as long as nothing big happens.

This also made the area around the iron mill, the ferry of the grass market, and the banks of the river full of children between the ages of five and sixteen who were playing wildly in rags. They don't know the hardships of life, they still go into the water to fish turtles, go up trees to dig birds' eggs, and even fight.

It's just that in May, only the people who are busy making a living are left on the ferry, and they can no longer see this group of children playing wantonly all over the mountains. People with school-age children know that the children did not disappear out of thin air, but were all locked up in the "school".

The people who have been working for a long time know that this iron mill has a great background. And with Wang Song's frequent entry, the people suddenly realized that the owner of the iron workshop was Wang Song and Wang Xianggong.

Naturally, the new school that their children attend is run by Wang Xianggong.

Wang Xianggong's name is naturally well-known among the people. In addition to his outstanding martial arts of "Saibawang", there is also a legend that he wrote poems in seven steps on the imperial palace and won the favor of Emperor Roufu with two songs.

Going to school in such a school, even if you have a meal at noon, and there are Wenqu stars like Wang Xianggong to guide you from time to time, the people are naturally a hundred willing in their hearts.

And the harsh management system in the school, whether it is the parents of the children or the people who do not have children, take it for granted. If you want to ask them, "jade can't be cut into a vessel", "the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold", "the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle", they can't finish talking about this truth for three days and three nights.

It's only in the school that the co-ed system makes them mumble. Since ancient times, a woman's lack of talent is virtue, but this prince treats everyone equally.

However, the Northern Song Dynasty was not as strong as the confinement of Zhu Xi after the later Southern Song Dynasty, and the constraints on women were relatively less. In addition, in troubled times, eating enough is the first principle, and other nature can't be taken care of.

The school is completely militarized, with only one day off every seven days. Half-day cultural class study, currently learning the Four Books and Five Classics and other Confucian subjects. As for the half-day physical exercise, it is completely born out of the training in the army, but the intensity is much less, and the intensity of women is far less than that of men.

The school building was built in the ironhouse, but some of the original houses were temporarily vacated and enclosed with simple wooden walls. Anyway, the iron mill stands on the mountain, and the space is large.

The students' dormitories are for orphans, and although they are a little shabby, they are neat and clean, and they are equipped with toilets and bathhouses.

The cultural teachers in the school were hired from the refugees, and the Jin soldiers went south, many of them were ruined, and the refugees were hidden in the dragon and the tiger, and there were not a few literate Confucians, and it was naturally more than enough to find dozens of qualified teachers.

Physical exercise classes, also known as physical education classes, are all conducted by officers in the army. Military posture exercises, running and cross-country, spear stabbing, horseback archery, etc., are all included in the scope of physical education classes.

"Have you forgotten the Abyss Alliance?"

"Have you forgotten the shame of Jingkang?"

"Have you forgotten the Battle of Taiyuan?"

Often accompanied by the immature voices of the teenagers:

"The Jurchen barbarian clan, bullying me and no one in China! I will never forget such a great shame!"

Together with Xu Bingtian, Zhang's father Zhang Guowen, who came to this Hebei Iron Fang, is now teaching in this new school.

Xu Bingtian used to be a craftsman of "Da Guangye", and his craftsmanship was extraordinary, and he entered the iron workshop, which was quite appreciated by the above, and the father and son of the two of them also had a source of livelihood.

Zhang Guowen used to be a famous local Confucian scholar, and he was recruited as a teacher in the iron workshop.

After staying with these simple children day after day, Zhang Guo's conscience also had sustenance, and the grief of the destruction of his family was gradually hidden in his heart, and he devoted himself to the education of the children.

Wang Song's knowledge, he admires it very much. However, every day, when he saw those young children sweating like rain on the playground, dancing knives and guns, and receiving corporal punishment, he felt an inexplicable heartache.

"Soldiers, murder weapons, and warriors are in danger; Soldiers, the country's major affairs; Soldiers, treacherous ways; soldiers, civil and military; Soldiers, courtesy, righteousness and faithfulness."

There is nothing wrong with everything, only a rich country and a strong army can deal with the Jurchens who are like wolves and tigers. Is it too cruel to let such a young child undergo this kind of physical and mental training?

Moreover, when the children were in class, they sat upright, with their heads raised and their chests straight, and their bodies were straight, exactly like the guards stationed around the iron workshop.

"Deng Xiaohu, do you like this kind of training in the academy?"

In his spare time, Zhang Guowen couldn't help but ask his students.

"I don't like it!"

Deng Xiaohu's answer was sonorous and clean.

Zhang Guowen shook his head, and just wanted to leave, but heard Deng Xiaohu continue in a childish voice: "Teacher Zhang, in the future, I will be the great general of China, Jin Ge Iron Horse, go straight to the Yellow Dragon, seal the wolf Juxu, and restore the glory of our Han people." It's worth it!"

Zhang Guowen's eyes were hot, and he quickly turned around and turned to leave.

In addition to the Chinese language and physical education classes, the school has recently added history, mathematics, geography and physics.

Originally, Wang Song also wanted to join chemistry, but this chemistry was an experimental science, and he had no instruments and medicines.

"China, the world does not know how many people are ordinary. About 3,000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor, the leader of the tribal alliance living in the Yellow River Valley, cultivated grains and domesticated livestock, which made the tribal alliance gradually stronger. The Yellow Emperor led the tribe to defeat the Yandi tribe in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and the Chiyou tribe in the south. Later, the Yandi tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe formed an alliance and lived and multiplied in the Yellow River Valley for a long time, constituting the backbone of the Chinese nation. The Yellow Emperor is revered as the ancestor of the Huaxia people. My Chinese descendants are called the descendants of Yan and Huang, and this is also the history of my China. ”

Wang Yan, the historical hero of the anti-gold resistance, picked up the book for the first time and read aloud the history lesson in his hand to the children below.

"Since the Yellow Emperor, there are Yao, Shun, and Yu. From the beginning of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the unification of the sea by the First Emperor, the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the completion of the unification of China, China has since entered the era of monarchical rule......"

"What do you have to say, classmate?"

Wang Yan secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He hadn't finished a lesson yet, and he was already sweating.

"Before my China, there was Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and then there was Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Taizong of Tang, the saint of martial arts, and the barbarians in the northwest fled in the wilderness. Why did we not say why we couldn't take the sixteen states of Yanyun in our dynasty, but they were beaten by the small tribes in the northwest, such as Jin, Liao, and Xia, and they couldn't form an army. Mr. Wang, why do you say that?"

"Self-improvement Jinling is violent, China is ruined, and it is embarrassed. People are displaced and miserable. ”

Wang Yan smiled bitterly: "The officers and soldiers are weak, and they have no blood. Therefore, in order to expel the Hulu, restore the rivers and mountains, establish the Chen Ji, and relieve the people, it is necessary to restore the blood and qi of the Han people, and to shed blood and sacrifice. ”

"Mr. Wang, the people say that the Great Song Dynasty can't stop the Jurchens, it's all because the emperor is mediocre, the ministers are incompetent, and the officials and soldiers are all cowards, do you think this is the truth?"

An eleven or twelve-year-old half-grown boy stood up and asked loudly.

Wang Yan's face was already shocked, this kid dared to say anything. If this is heard by the ministers of the court, not only Wang Yan, but also Wang Song will be affected.

"Is this ......?"

Wang Yan coughed a few times, straightened his face, and said loudly: "You all have family members or relatives and friends who were brutalized by the Jurchens, do you have to learn your skills well, so that you can deal with the Jurchens well in the future." You say, yes and no?"

"Yes!"

The children's voices were much neater this time.

When the bell rang for the end of class, Wang Yanfei hurriedly withdrew from the classroom. After this class, he understood what it meant to sit on pins and needles.

"These kids, they're really bold enough!"

He shook his head with emotion, but he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart. If there are thousands of such descendants of the Great Song Dynasty, who would be afraid of these barbarian tribes!

In another classroom, Yue Fei's math class was full of relish.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the first few classes we talked about the multiplication formula of the algorithm, and today we will calculate the proportion problem."

Yue Fei stood on the podium, turned around, and wrote on the blackboard:

"The method of corn: 50 millet rate, 30 rice rice, 27 rice rice, and 24 rice rice, which means that five buckets of millet can be peeled to get three buckets of brown rice, and two buckets of nine folds of rice can be scooped up to get seven liters of rice, or eight buckets of rice two buckets and four liters."

He ignored the end of the plaster chalk that fell on his body, and continued to ask: "Today's topic is: There is a bucket of corn today, and if you want to be a rice dumpling, how much do you ask?" The students who are the first to calculate and know what method to calculate can leave class early. ”

The classroom was silent, and the students began to calculate quietly.

Yue Fei looked at the students below with satisfaction, as if he remembered the scene when he went to school when he was a child.

"Sir, I have calculated that the method is to multiply all numbers by the probability of being true, and to multiply all rates by the law, and to be true to the law. The answer is......"

Just when Yue Fei was wandering the world, there were already smart students below who took the lead in shouting.

Yue Fei was startled, and Wang Song's words flashed in his heart, could it be that these children are really the future of the Great Song Dynasty?
