However, it is said that Guan Ping is doing nonsense in Hanzhong, and he actually wants to reform religion and establish the myth and legend of the Emperor of Heaven. He also used alchemy Taoist priests as scientists, not only to make cement, but also to make blast furnace steel.

Not only did he solve the problem of the Five Buckets Rice Sect, but he also wanted to become a fat man in one bite.

However, if you can really practice steel and cement, it will naturally be a great success.

But in the face of another thing, it's all fake.

Since ancient times, how many smart people have been born in China, a heavenly creation, is an ancient encyclopedia, but the Chinese people abandoned it, but the Europeans were like treasures.

Gunpowder, thermal weapons were first produced in China, but in the end the Europeans fought back with thermal weapons.

That's the gap.

Huaxia is not bad for intelligent people, but lacks the soil for the survival of technology.

This other thing is the existence that is truly beneficial for the future. Eradicate illiteracy and promote the development of science.

At the end of the twelfth year of Jian'an, the Literature Museum, with Ma Archery as the owner, began to teach 2,000 scholars to learn Luoyang official dialect, textbook knowledge, dictionaries, and pinyin.

On the other hand, they established forty schools in the entire Fangling County, each with forty teachers, and these teachers enjoyed a superior life and treatment.

Each school, tentatively designed, is to recruit 400 students. But as for whether or not 16,000 students can be gathered, in fact, there is no bottom for them.

Guan Ping had calculated before that Fangling had a population of three or four hundred thousand, so there should be about 200,000 boys under the age of twenty, or even more.

Han people are very capable of giving birth, one child a year, the big one pulls the small one, and there is a long list of them.

Recruiting 16,000 students seems to be less than 10 percent. But only people from well-to-do families care about learning.

For example, in ordinary households, children start doing housework at the age of six or seven, and when they grow up, herding cattle and going to work in the fields, it is not uncommon.

The child is also half a laborer.

Now to let the children go out to study is tantamount to giving up half of the family's hard work.

Don't talk to farmers about the future, farmers who can let their children go to school are definitely a minority.

And the scholars may be different. Scholars may enlighten their children by themselves, talk about elite education from an early age, and may not let their children go to school.

So this time the scope of recruiting students is actually very narrow.

However, there is one thing, which is also Fang Ling's advantage. That's because there are a lot of women working in weaving factories in the cities of Fangling County.

As long as there are female dependents in the family who work in the weaving factory, the family conditions must be much better. If the family is superior, it is possible to send the child to school.

However, he said that Ma Jie had already greeted Li Chao, the guard of Fangling County, and asked Li Chao to order all counties to order the officials to go to the streets in the third year of junior high school, go to the countryside to beat gongs and drums, and also publish notices in conspicuous positions to publicize the affairs of the school.

On the third day of the new year, the wind and the sun were beautiful. It's just that the sun is high, but it's still cold. In the Han Dynasty, there was no cotton cloth, even winter clothes, and they were not warm.

Everyone is relying on their physical strength to stay up.

In the winter, how many old people freeze to death at night.

There was no one on the street of the third room of the junior high school, but the alley was lively. Families are visiting the house, and children are frolicking in front of the house.

The joy of the New Year is still there.

"Knock Knock Knock !!!" A pair of officials stepped onto the joint, beat gongs and drums, and shouted from time to time: "General Ming opened a school in Fangling Nine Counties, so that children can go to school without money." General Ming said that reading and literacy changes fate. When the boy has a future career, he may not be able to find a job as an official in the yamen and be decent. ”

Not only were the officials shouting along the alleys, but there were also officials who posted notices in the city. But there were very few responders.

"General Ming's kindness, if I let my son go to fight for General Ming, I can give up my ruthlessness. But what is the purpose of reading and literacy??? My Li family has five generations of ancestors, but they are all carpenters. It's better to be an official. ”

There was a carpenter Li who snuggled by the door, watching the officials shouting, and couldn't help but say to his neighbor Wang Blacksmith.

Wang blacksmith is five big and three thick, and he is powerful. Wen Yan nodded and said, "If I let my son go to the battlefield, I will be ruthless." But even if you are literate and literate, it is better to follow me to learn the blacksmith style, and when you grow up, you can support your family. Reading and literacy? ”

Speaking of this, Blacksmith Wang couldn't help but shake his head.

This is also a helpless thing. This is not the stupidity of ordinary people, but the limitations of the times. Just like the people of Hanzhong, most of them prefer to believe that charms can cure diseases.

To be sick is to offend the ghosts and gods, and even the absurd thing that women go to sleep with the Taoist priests of the Wudoumi Sect happens.

Reading is a matter for scholars, not only scholars think so, but ordinary people also take it for granted.

Guan Ping wants to make a career, and he really has a long way to go. However, there are still responders.

These people are people who have a solid family, do not worry about food and drink, and have spare money. These included three Han commanders recruited by Ma Liang from the western mountains.

That is, Chen Zhou, Zhao Fei, and Song Guang.

But it was said that these three people were the first to respond to the descent of the mountain, so they got a farmhouse, a beautiful woman, and wealth as a reward, and now there is land outside the city, the family has money, and the life is boundless.

But people are not near-superior, but have far-sightedness.

The birth of the scholar clan began with a solid family background. When someone starts reading, there will be a steady stream of people reading in the house.

After Chen Zhou, Zhao Fei, and Song Guang came to Fangling, they lived a leisurely life, but they also wanted to be motivated. Among the three, Song Guangnai is a person who can read and write, and he is barely a scholar.

He felt that the rise and fall of the family needed to train scholars. And because the three of them have the same identity and live in neighborhoods, they have frequent daily contact.

Song Guang's thinking affected Chen Zhou and Zhao Fei.

As soon as the three of them were combined, they found a teacher to enlighten the children of the three families, but the effect was not very good.

You must know that a good teacher is very beneficial to the child. Just like in modern society, elite families will have tutors.

Guan Ping found a good teacher for Deng Ai, Liao Ning.

But the three mountain leaders obviously did not have this kind of way, and the Mengshi they found was very ordinary, even very inferior.

The three of them had just dismissed their teachers at the end of last year, and they planned to hire another one this year. Suddenly, when he heard the gongs and drums beating by the officials, his heart moved.

"Your Excellency. I don't know where the school opened by General Ming is? What are the requirements for admission? When Song Guang heard the news, he hurriedly walked out of the mansion and asked a servant.

"I'm a villain in the yamen, but I don't dare to be called an adult." The official hurriedly said, and then replied, "There are no conditions." General Ming stipulated that as long as they were under twenty years old, they should be over six years old. You can enroll. If you study for six years, you can become a scholar as long as you are not too stupid. ”

Song Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked the servants, and then went back to discuss with Chen Zhou and Zhao Fei, and the three of them immediately found the family, and the children of the clan, from six to twelve years old, a total of twelve. Although Guan Ping stipulates that everyone under the age of 20 can be enrolled, it is too big to count. After all, the years have passed, and at the age of thirty, you can call yourself an old man, and at the age of twenty, you will be twenty-six years old, which is too cost-effective.

Soon after, the three of them came to the school under the guidance of the official with twelve children to sign up. A school with a new outer door, but an older inner door.

At a glance, you can see that it was temporarily planned, using the original old house, and the gate and wall were newly built.

There is a plaque hanging on the gate with four words written on it.

"Fangling North School"

However, it is the nine counties of Fangling, with more or less population, and Shangyong County and Fangling County have the largest population. There are forty schools, many of which are in Fangling County, and there are several schools in the county, so they are called Fangling North School.

And people like Chen Zhou, Zhao Fei, and Song Guang who bring their children to study are not a few. Either a well-off family or an ambitious person.

There are also many merchant families.

The ten teachers in charge of this school are all well-dressed and easy to gain people's favor. There are also officials who maintain order.

Chen Zhou, Zhao Fei, and Song Guang obediently lined up with their children, and when it was their turn, they would register their children. After this was done, the teacher told the three that they could come to school in the eighth year of junior high school.

.............

Zhang's family.

It was Guan Ping who went up the mountain to hunt and used words to attract the first group of mountain people who came down the mountain. The respected old gentleman Zhang Bang is still alive, but he is weak and sick from time to time.

He stopped being the lieutenant governor anymore and gave up the position of lieutenant governor to his son.

This is normal, although the position of lieutenant chief also needs to be appointed by the government, it is generally recommended by the lieutenant government. Zhang Bang's son is also prestigious, and it is normal for the son to succeed his father.

Zhang Bang, an old man in his seventies and eighties, is not dead, but his immediate boss, the pavilion chief, is dead. Now there is a pavilion chief in the pavilion, named Wang Hai.

Nice people.

In fact, the officials in Fangling are all good.

Zhang Bang fell ill a few years ago, but he got better at the beginning of the year. I was basking in the sun in the yard on this day. Suddenly, I heard the sound of gongs and drums, and soon after, Wang Hai, the new pavilion chief, came to Zhang Bang's house.

Although Zhang Bang's son became the lieutenant chief, when the officials came to Zhang's house, they still had to find Zhang Bang first.

Zhang Bang hurriedly invited Wang Hai to sit down in the lobby, and after Wang Hai sat down, he talked to Zhang Bang about the school. Wang Hai sighed: "Back then, I was educated, but it took a lot of effort. Because he can read and write, he became the pavilion chief. And now General Ming can open a school and teach the boys, which is really a blessing for the people. I have already sent seven or eight of my children to school, what does the old gentleman think? ”

"Go, all of them. Only when you are literate can you be promising. Zhang Bang himself was a scholar, and when he had nothing to do, he taught his grandchildren and great-grandchildren to read and write.

But he was too old to teach. I was planning to invite a teacher back this year, and when I heard about such a good thing, I hurriedly called my sons and packed up my young grandson and great-grandson and sent them to school.

No two words.

Learn.
