811 Lori School
This is especially true for girls---- although many immigrant parents agree to send their six-year-old girls to Zixia Public School, but in fact, the only reason is: girls at this age can not do labor, but also have to dress and eat, which belongs to the "loss of money stage".
Therefore, in the initial stage, most of the campuses of Zixia Public School were small Lori, which made Zhu Beiguo Li Sanduo, who had passed by here, jokingly called Zixia Public School "Loli Public School" after visiting the school.
As for those girls who are over eight years old, I'm sorry, almost no one among the immigrants is willing to send their children to school, not to mention the shackles of the concept of "women are virtuous if they are not talented" in the minds of Han immigrants, which is also the reason why girls at this age can already help the family, so parents are reluctant to let girls go out to study.
It is precisely because of this that in the end, Li Junming, who was a little exhausted, was reminded by Sun Lao and a group of other old guys, and asked Ren Ke and Li Dewei to come forward to do the "enrollment".
So the two men took the soldiers to go door-to-door to do recruitment persuasion and mobilization - the last four words were in quotation marks.
So these soldiers of the garrison first came to a "fierce exercise" when they entered the door, either poking the chicken nest or lifting the kang head, or "accidentally" knocking over the dining table, in short, how to toss and how to come, and then an official who looked like a squad leader said to the head of the family with a smile, congratulations, is your ancestral tomb smoking or the ancestors have accumulated virtue? You can actually let your children go to school for free, read and write, your children will be masters in the future, and there are such glorious things at home, do you say you are happy?
At this moment, what else does this head of the family dare to say besides joy?
You must know that the peasants of this Celestial Dynasty are a group of people who are not afraid of heaven and earth - except for officials and soldiers.
But now the Australian officials are all amiable, their manners and speech are no different from scholars, and they have no official authority at all, which makes the immigrants from the Celestial Empire from the mainland very unaccustomed, but over time they have become accustomed to it, so the peasants of the Celestial Empire are not afraid of the Australian officials, and sometimes they will kick their noses in the face.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Junming soon set up a police station on Zixia Island, because Australians are not afraid of the parents above their heads - after all, people have votes in their hands, as well as the constitution and the legal system, plus the Australian Federation does not prohibit civilian guns, so the police @ inspector must be very fierce, otherwise they will not be able to control the field and maintain order.
Of course, in comparison, no matter how fierce the police @ inspectors of the Australian Federation are, there are also laws to govern, to say that the degree of power and harm to the people, compared with the mighty and powerful Goshha of the Qing Dynasty, it is simply a small thing, so all the farmers who immigrated from the Qing Dynasty, even if they are ignorant, more or less know what is good or bad, as long as they are not crazy, compared with the two sides, the immigrants still think that the Australian police @ inspectors are much better......
it, it's a long way to gossip, so stop it.
In the months that followed, Mr. Li finally enrolled the immigrants' children in school, largely with a hard hand, only to be met with another storm — caused by a co-educational school.
The attitude of immigrants towards co-educational schools is complicated, and from this incident, we can see what the so-called "different styles of government and people" in the Celestial Empire society were.
For ordinary farmers, when families with boys hear that there are female students in the school, they are not disgusted, but they are happy to see it.
Because, let's note that what we're talking about here is what if—because of the co-educational school, a boy and a girl do something "immoral", and the man's parents may be happy that their silly boy can pick up a cheap daughter-in-law, because for girls, this is called "self-contempt".
Note that ordinary peasants do not refer to personality when they say this four-word phrase - there is no concept of "personality" in the minds of the people of the Celestial Empire, and the "self-contempt" of the peasants means that girls are not qualified to ask their husbands to give women a lot of dowries, so this means that the man does not have to spend a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law, what a good thing!
Of course, for the woman's parents, this is a loss of face and a loss of money, and if their daughter can't sell it for a good price, maybe it will really become a money-losing product.
However, the worries of the woman's parents are useless, and the immigrants are frightened by the soldiers who entered the house a while ago to "persuade and mobilize", and they are worried about worrying, but they really dare not take action.
Obviously, the squires and the townsmen are more courageous in this matter, after all, they have read a little bit of books - those who have read books, whether more or less, in their actions and thinking compared with those fools who live like animals, act more or less "principle", of course, the premise is that the books you read are not poisonous, or have fewer toxins, otherwise, it is better to live like illiterate animals, after all, animals are basically harmless, and poisonous books are more poisonous, Eventually, it will become a social cancer that harms others and oneself, as well as family members and grandchildren.
Well, I accidentally pulled away the idle story again---- and now back to the present, one of the squires and villagers does not understand the fact that Australians are co-educational schools, and even has some flavor of group anger, plus the parents of those girls are also very worried that their daughters will become money-losing goods, and the opinions of several parties converged, and finally caused a big and small storm.
One morning, in the living room of the Governor on the second floor of the Container Castle, Governor Li Junming, who was awakened by the alarm clock, reluctantly stretched on the bed, paused, and then jumped up from the bed, rubbed his eyes again, and staggered out of the bedroom door.
At this time, the orderly soldiers who lived at the gate were already waiting at the door, and when the orderlies saw Governor Li coming out, they immediately saluted and said good morning to Mr. Li.
Li Junming doesn't like others to call him a position, especially his subordinates, he often says that the position is temporary, so it is best to call him for a long time or even for a lifetime, so after Li Junming's many corrections, his subordinates all call him a teacher - the governor said to his subordinates that the governor is temporary, and the teacher is for life, so it is good to call him a teacher when they meet.
The subordinates also gladly accepted, because usually the soldiers of these garrisons also had to go to night school to read and write, and the teachers were all traversers, and Li Junming was of course among them, so calling the governor a teacher was not only appropriate, but also very kind.
At this moment, Li Junming waved his hand casually as usual, muttered a good morning in his mouth, and then went straight to the bathroom to put water to brush his teeth and wash his face, a few minutes later, Governor Li, who was a little more energetic, reappeared in the corridor, and was about to ask what was prepared in the kitchen this morning, but saw several orderlies looking at the Governor Governor speechlessly, and pointed to the ground of the courtyard.
Li Junming couldn't help but be startled when he looked downstairs, only to see that the courtyard was full of people, about fifty people couldn't stop it, there were many familiar and familiar faces in the crowd, and they were dressed very formally, unlike ordinary farmers - they were all squires and villagers, and most of them had the status of land assessors.
At this moment, the crowd finally saw the Governor, and before Li Junming upstairs could react, the crowd in the courtyard suddenly stirred, and then there was a hula, and the standing crowd suddenly became shorter - it turned out that this group of people suddenly knelt down facing him!
