Wang Laipin left the village of Yanding and went to Liaodong to join the army.

If you don't go by land, it will take too long.

It was by water, and I just took a small fortune boat to Shanhaiguan.

If you take the land route, you need to pass through the Shandong Governor's Division and Beizhili, and it will take a month to say the least.

It was much faster by water, and according to the boatmen, it only took four days to reach Shanhaiguan.

When the patriarch of the ancestral hall of Yanding Village heard this, all of them were full of distrustful doubts, suspecting that these boatmen were not honest.

In order to ask for merit and reward, he lied and deceived Mr. Xiao.

Only two people thought that what the boatmen said was right, and one was Wang Yanren, who had been at sea before.

The other is Wang Youzhen, because he knows more accurate data.

From Changyi County to Shanhaiguan across two large provinces, separated by more than 1,000 miles.

The mouth of the glue is only more than 100 nautical miles away from Shanhaiguan, although it is also very far, but it is much closer than more than 1,000 miles.

In addition, the daily journey by water is much less than walking, and it takes about three or four days to reach Shanhaiguan from the glue estuary.

This is also because the boatmen use wind-powered pontoons, and if they are replaced by steam engine ships, it is estimated that they can reach Shanhaiguan in one day.

Wang Youzhen has not even invented the steam engine yet, and as for the steam engine ship, he can only think about it temporarily.

Wang Yanren arranged a small fortune boat to go to Yongping Mansion in the rear of Shanhaiguan, not just to send Wang Lai to join the army at Shanhaiguan.

In addition, there is also the meaning of opening up a shipping route, going to Yongping Mansion to buy bulk cotton.

Mr. Wang got confirmation from Wang Yanren and Wang Youzhen that it really took only four days from the glue into the sea to Shanhaiguan.

In my heart, I felt less guilty about letting the third child go to Liaodong to join the army.

In this way, their father and son are not separated from each other, and they will not be able to see each other until they die of old age.

In the eyes of the common people, the daughter who married into Yu'er Town is a world apart.

Not to mention surpassing Changyi County, surpassing Qingzhou Mansion, and even leaving the Shandong Governor's Division.

After the third uncle Wang came to hire and left, Wang Youzhen became even busier.

Not only should we be busy with the education of the industrial school, but we must also quickly build the framework of the martial arts hall.

Although after more than half a year, the younger brothers have grown up completely.

Even if the third uncle Wang came to hire and left the rivers and lakes, it would not have much impact on the martial arts hall.

But the construction of this framework is still quite energy-consuming.

There are priorities in things, and Wang Youzhen's top priority now is not to build a new framework for the lecture hall.

Instead, an industrial primary school was established to allow the children of the three Yanding villages to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry from an early age, so as to provide a steady stream of talents for the industrial revolution in the future.

Building industrial propaganda, others can't help much, Wang Changmu Wang Youzhen father and son discussed this matter together.

Industrial Academy.

Den.

Wang Changmu sat on the official hat chair, Wang Youzhen stood next to him, and began to talk about his plan: "Dad, I mean that in the future, every three villages will build an industrial primary school."

"After all, there are only a few hundred households in an ordinary village, and there are no more than 100 children studying in an industrial primary school."

"If you build an industrial primary school in three villages, it is basically equivalent to more than 200 to 300 children."

"That way, there won't be a waste of educational resources."

Wang Changmu understood what Wang Youzhen meant, and said that it was a hundred, and it was too much.

Some villages may even have less than 50 villages, and it would be a waste of educational resources to build an industrial primary school.

When Wang Youzhen said this, it was not his own fantasy, but a complete education system that had been tested for many years by later generations.

In later generations, there was basically only one primary school in three or four villages, or even one primary school in five or six villages.

In later generations, the population of a village was much larger than that of a village in Daming.

Wang Youzhen said that three villages should build an industrial primary school, but he still hugged each other and said that it is normal for five or six villages to build an industrial primary school.

But it was such a complete education system that had been tested for many years, but Wang Changmu shook his head.

Wang Changmu first shook his head, glanced at Wang Youzhen, who was full of incomprehension, and said with a gentle smile: "Zhen'er, your idea is good, but it is a little unrealistic." ”

"Ask you a question for my father, how long does it take to walk from Yancang Village to Haiyan Village?"

Yancang Village, Haiyan Village, and Yanchi Village, three of Yanchi Village, are listed side by side on a line.

Yancang Village and Haiyan Village are two villages that are separated by each other, and they are neither far nor close.

After about ten miles of travel, Wang Youzhen finally understood what his father meant, but still replied: "The time for two incense sticks." ”

Wang Changmu nodded, and continued to smile gently: "We don't have the kind of electric light you said now. ”

"The way of life in the countryside has been sunrise and sunset for thousands of years."

"The time of dawn adds up, and there is only a total of ten incense sticks."

Wang Changmu said that he would not say anything more, Wang Youzhen should understand the rest of the words.

Indeed, as Wang Changmu expected, Wang Youzhen did feel that he had some fixed thinking.

Daming doesn't have a school bus or a bicycle.

Even if the industrial primary school is built in Haiyan Village, which is located in the middle, the time spent by the children of Yanchi Village and Yancang Village on the road will take the time to go back and forth with four incense sticks.

If you remove the time to eat and go to the thatched house, the time that can be used to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge will be reduced too much.

Wang Changmu glanced at his eldest son Wang Youzhen, who was deep in thought, and smiled gently: "This is secondary. ”

"The current world is not very stable, and after the three Yanchi villages dug a moat-like creek, it is indeed relatively stable."

"But there was no moat to keep the children safe on the way to the technical primary school."

"If you come across a flower shoot, it will tear a family apart."

When Wang Youzhen heard this, his heart was suddenly shocked.

It seems that everything has to be adapted to local conditions, and if everything is done rigidly, the favorable things will become very harmful.

Wang Youzhen no longer insisted on his opinion, and said seriously: "Father, then let's build an industrial primary school in one village." ”

"The location of the industrial primary school is in the middle of the village, which not only saves time, but also prevents the children from being photographed when they go to school."

Wang Changmu smiled gently, stood up and left the study: "My father is going to continue to write letters, and Zhen'er will look at these things." ”

got his father's affirmation, and Wang Youzhen's heart was inexplicably much more stable.

also walked out of the study and went to his grandfather to arrange for someone to build an industrial school.
