Chapter 391, Knowledge Changes Destiny

Soon, the teams continued to get busy under the leadership of their respective captains, and Lin Xiaoyu, Yang Dalang and other individuals with excellent performance, the number of about 80 people stayed.

Everyone looked at Li Yuanshan, looking forward to Li Yuanshan's next words, since everyone has been promoted to captain, this means that everyone can also lead their own team in the future, and their team does not seem to have a shadow now, or will continue to recruit people from Fujian.

Li Yuanshan kept everyone, most likely for this matter.

"In the past 20 days, everyone has worked actively and performed well, so I promoted everyone to be a team leader, which is not only a reward for you, but also a test for you."

"Because as the team leader, he not only needs to do a good job on his own, but more importantly, he can also lead his team to do the assigned tasks, so this is also a new test for you."

Li Yuanshan looked at the dozens of people in front of him, following Liu Jin's style of work, hard work, and active work will be rewarded, and there will be room for promotion, but in the same way, the more you go up, the higher the various requirements will naturally be.

"In a few days, new members of Ryukyu Castle will arrive here, and then you will all become team leaders, and you will become the most basic management personnel of Ryukyu Castle, and each of you will lead a number of people to participate in the construction of Ryukyu Castle."

"As the grassroots managers of Ryukyu Castle, it is not enough for you to work your own, you must learn more things and knowledge, and one of the most important ones is to read and break words."

"So from the day you become the team leader, after you are busy with your work during the day, at night, everyone has to come over for night classes together, literacy and hyphenation are only the most basic requirements, everyone has a lot to learn, and if you want to continue to be promoted, the more things you need to learn."

Hearing Li Yuanshan's words, Yang Dalang couldn't help but get excited, he actually had the opportunity to study.

In this era, reading is a luxury for a child from a poor family like him, and for the absolute majority of people.

The expenses of going to a private school, buying pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. are too great, and Yang Dalang has been very eager to have the opportunity to go to a private school since he was a child, learn knowledge, and be able to read and hyphenation.

It's just that the conditions at home don't allow it at all, his parents have never moved to send him to a private school, he played with himself when he was young, and when he was a little older, he began to take his younger siblings, and when he was older, he was already the pillar of the family, and he had to work in the field with him.

I didn't expect that now, he still has the opportunity to learn, and has the opportunity to read and hyphenation, just thinking about it is exciting.

Similar to Yang Dalang, the others also widened their eyes in disbelief, after becoming the team leader, they still had the opportunity to go to night classes and learn knowledge, so wouldn't they all become scholars in the future?

"Alright, let's go back to our respective teams first."

"Remember, take a shower in the evening and then come to the city hall in the center for night classes."

Li Yuanshan looked at everyone's expressions and smiled slightly, he knew very well the power of knowledge in this era, for these ordinary people, those who can read and hyphenate belong to readers, and readers are naturally superior to others in front of them.

Everyone dispersed silently, each went back to work, but at this time they were all full of energy, after this brief meeting, their efforts and dedication have been recognized and rewarded by the above, and they also see a better future, one by one is like a chicken blood, work harder.

"Da Lang, what did you say when you stayed?"

Yang Ergou also worked harder, and he generally asked quietly while working hard.

"Tell us to go to night classes in the evening, and in a few days there will be new people here in Ryukyu Castle, and we will take them to do things in the future."

Yang Dalang replied.

"Night class?"

"What do you teach in the night class?"

Yang Ergou immediately became interested, and asked very curiously, as for the newcomers who will come, in his opinion, it is not surprising at all, Ryukyu City is not small, according to the plan, it is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and there will definitely be more and more people here.

"Literate, hyphenate or something."

Yang Dalang thought for a while and said.

"Literacy hyphenation?"

When Yang Ergou heard this, he immediately exclaimed and said: "Then won't you be the same as scholars in the future, then you can still go to the imperial examination?" ”

"If you think about it too much, it should just be literacy and hyphenation or something, so that you can learn some things in the future, so that you can better manage."

Yang Dalang shook his head and said.

"That's also amazing, people who are literate and hyphenated are all readers~"

Yang Ergou couldn't help but sigh, and then his intestines were repentant.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have been lazy~"

"No, no, I have to work harder in the future, I also want to be rated as an excellent individual, and I also have to take night classes."

Then Yang Ergou was like crazy and began to work hard.

Although he is a slippery person, he is actually smart, and now he sees the benefits of hard work, there is room for growth and progress, and the whole person has changed, and he has begun to be positive and work hard.

Seeing Yang Ergou's changes, Yang Dalang couldn't help but smile, and then began to work hard.

Soon, the day passed, and in the evening, Yang Dalang had already eaten early, took a shower, put on clean and tidy clothes, and came to the municipal building of Ryukyu City.

The Municipal Building is the tallest building ever built in Ryukyu Castle, and it is made of reinforced concrete, with five floors and an area of space, and is now the center of management and work in Ryukyu Castle.

The naming of the municipal building is also completely incompatible with this era, which is obviously also from the handiwork of Liu Jin, although others are far away in the capital at this time, but the realization has already planned everything here in Ryukyu City.

Ryukyu City will be the place where Liu Jin first experimented, the place where various systems in later generations were truly fully implemented, which can be regarded as a back road left by Liu Jin for himself.

Although Liu Jin has traveled to this era and has made a lot of changes, the capital in Daming has also rapidly sprouted and developed, becoming an important emerging force.

But Liu Jin knows very well that the current Ming Dynasty is still the traditional feudal power that has the final say, from the court to all corners of the Ming Dynasty, the traditional feudal power is still dominating this huge empire.

In the face of powerful feudal forces, what Liu Jin could do was to continuously strengthen the power of emerging capital and rely on the power of emerging capital to fight against these traditional feudal forces.

But since ancient times, the transition from one era to another, the alternation of old and new forces will inevitably be accompanied by countless blood, even in Europe, the same is true, England, France have emperors have been guillotined.

In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Jin knew very well that politics decided everything, and the old feudal forces still held the lifeblood of the empire, and once there was a war between the old and new forces, their counterattacks would inevitably be extremely rapid.

At that time, the emerging capital forces will inevitably win, because this is the trend of history, but he, Liu Jin, as a trendsetter of this era, may die on the beach first.

Therefore, Liu Jin must leave a way back for himself, and also for this huge empire, this nation that has experienced thousands of years of suffering.

Once there is a change in the future, Liu Jin can also retreat overseas, to this Ryukyu City, so that he will not die without a place to be buried.

Therefore, for Ryukyu City, Liu Jin realized that he had planned all aspects.

From the layout of Ryukyu Castle, to the future operation mode of Ryukyu Castle, and even the future population and residents of Ryukyu Castle, Liu Jin has already made a plan, everything is completely different from the tradition, and a new style and atmosphere must be erected.

According to the name of this era, the municipal building should be called a government office or something, but Ryukyu Castle is not called that here.

As night falls, the municipal building is brightly lit, the rooms are lit with oil lamps, and the municipal building uses a lot of glass windows, so when you look at it from the outside, you feel that the municipal hall is brightly lit, brilliant, and very eye-catching in the dark night.

One of the conference rooms was temporarily used as a classroom, and a glass oil lamp lit up the entire classroom as if it were day.

The others were similar to Yang Dalang, all of them had already washed up, wearing new clothes that had been washed, and they looked like strange students, quietly waiting for their teacher to arrive.

Everyone didn't wait too long, and Li Yuanshan walked in with a smile on his face.

In this first session, he came to teach everyone, and Li Yuanshan came with some assistants, who carried bundles of books, notebooks and pencils in their hands.

Each person has a book, a notebook and a pen, which is much better than before, of course, this also means that Liu Jin has also done a more mature job in this regard, and has embarked on a road that is different from the traditional education model.

Of course, it is still a lot worse than later generations, because this book is just a very simple book, with some words and phrases, arithmetic and the like, which are convenient for teaching.

Later generations are divided into many pieces, such as Chinese, mathematics, geography, history, etc., which are obviously not realistic here, and can only carry out some simple education.

Able to read and hyphenation, be able to calculate some arithmetic simply, and be able to know some common sense things, even if this night class is successful, if you really want to achieve the education of future generations, you still need to carry out systematic education from an early age.

Of course, in this regard, Liu Jin is also already preparing that all the children here in Ryukyu City in the future will receive a systematic education similar to that of later generations from an early age.

Only education can cultivate talents, can we truly open up the wisdom of the people, and can we also enable the Chinese nation to defeat the Europeans in this era of great exploration, so as to grab a piece of cake of its own.

"This is a textbook, this is an exercise book, this is a pencil, everyone will bring it to the night class in the future, everyone first open the textbook, turn to the first page, today we will first learn the 10 words on the first page~"

Yang Dalang listened carefully, and at the same time, according to Li Yuanshan's words, he opened the textbook, and there were ten square characters written on it.

"Everyone sees the first word~"

Li Yuanshan wrote the first word on the blackboard, which was the word 'heaven'.

"This word is called the word Tian, the day of the heavens, the day of the Son of Heaven, the sky of the sky, everyone look carefully, its strokes are very simple, two horizontal, one skimming and one ....."

Li Yuanshan's voice was not loud, but it was very clear to everyone's ears, the classroom was very quiet, and everyone was very serious about learning.

They are all adults, no longer children, they all know the value of knowledge, and they all know how rare it is to be able to have someone ask you to read and write, and they also know that if you want to continue to improve, you must study hard.

Soon, ten simple words were finished, after speaking, Li Yuanshan began to talk about numbers again, the numbers are Arabic numerals, 0 to 9 ten numbers, it is very simple to learn, everyone's receptivity is also very strong, and the study is serious, so the learning is very fast.

According to the usual practice, after the lecture, Li Yuanshan also began to tell the story, and the one-hour night class passed in a blink of an eye.

"An hour has passed like this?"

When Li Yuanshan announced the end of class, Yang Dalang looked at the pitch black outside, and immediately felt that this time passed really fast, and an hour passed in a flash.

Look at the ten words in the textbook, the numbers, and the crooked words written by yourself on the notebook.

"I, Yang Dalang, also know how to read, can write, and count."

Deep down, Yang Dalang couldn't help but shout.

His Yang family ancestors don't know how many generations have been farmers, all of them are illiterate farmers, and now that he Yang Dalang is here, he can finally have the opportunity to read and hyphenation, be able to write, and be able to count, you can imagine the excitement in Yang Dalang's heart at this time.

He hummed a little song almost all the way back to his place, so excited that he couldn't even sleep, tossing and turning, constantly recalling the content of the subject in his mind, reviewing the words learned in the night class over and over again, and consolidating the Arabic numerals he learned over and over again.

At the same time, he was constantly recalling the story told by Li Yuanshan in his mind, and he always felt that a door had been opened, and through the crack in the door, he had seen a new world, a world that was different from the world he had lived and been in contact with in the past 18 years, a world that made him excited and fascinated.

He knew that he would never be able to go back, and he would never be able to go back to the Yang Dalang in Dongmei Village in the past, who didn't understand anything, and was worrying about Yang Dalang every day for a full stomach.
