Chapter 337: Building a School
"Nasirdin! Are they majestic? In a glass shop, a man in a turban stands by a window facing the street. There was a little boy lying next to him, playing with the clairvoyant mirror sold at a high price by Li's firm.
"Majestic!" , The little boy squinted his eyes and saw clearly through the clairvoyant mirror the cathars walking below.
"Do you want to be like them, then?" , the man is good at seducing.
"Can I look at the stars? Can I read those fun arithmetic books? The little boy seemed more interested in these.
"Hehehe... You just have to go to the barracks and you'll have it. The man looked at the majestic cathar and admired it.
"Then I'm going! Go now! The little boy was intrigued and danced. As a result, his hand slipped and he threw the clairing mirror out of the window. This made the little boy feel distressed to death, and immediately leaned over and leaned out of the window.
"Yikes!" , the man was shocked and wanted to stop it. It's just that he's still a little slower! The boy let out a scream and fell out of the window.
The people who were watching the excitement were also suddenly frightened by the little boy who fell. Before he could react, someone was smashed.
The cathars, who were marching, also stopped because of this accident.
"Da da daยท", a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, and I saw a guard in armor quickly coming to Li Chengji.
"Governor Qiqi, there's chaos ahead!" As he spoke, the guard briefly told him how someone had fallen downstairs.
"Oh? Is anyone hurt? On this happy day of entering the city, Li Yi doesn't like to make trouble.
The guard shook his head, and Dao was only a little frightened, but it was fine. It's also that the second floor is not too high, and there are people below. So when Nasir-al-Din fell, he was not seriously injured.
However, in the end, it affected the entry of the cathars, so this matter can't be left as it is.
So while he was talking, Nazir al-Din was brought up with his father.
"Governor-----Governor", the first time I saw such a big official as the Governor, and because of such a thing, Nasir-al-Din and his father were so nervous that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"You're the one who hurt someone?" When Li Chengji saw Nasirding saluting, he looked up at himself from time to time, and couldn't help asking.
"The child is ignorant, please forgive the governor!" , Nazierdin's father had weak legs, and his face was pale.
"You like this thing?" , Li Chengji saw that Nasirdin had been holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and his tone was gentle.
"Hmmm! Father said that my mother went to heaven and lived on the brightest stars. If you want her, just keep staring at the brightest star, and you can see her. Nazierddin replied in a milky voice.
"Oh?!" , Li Chengji found it interesting, and then asked: "Then do you know which star is the brightest?" โใ
"Before sunset and sunrise, the brightest is Venus. In winter, Sirius is the brightest in the sky. โ
"Huh?! Do you still know Venus and Sirius? Li Chengji was a little surprised. Because the names and directions of these stars are only briefly introduced in the small encyclopedia issued by the barracks.
Books that are usually read in addition to literacy classes in your spare time are not essential subjects.
Therefore, many of the soldiers of the cathar army did not know the names of Venus and Sirius.
Now the little boy actually knew, which was really surprising.
"I heard that the "Little Encyclopedia" came out of the barracks, so I bought it for Xiao'er." , Nazierddin touched the sweat on his head and said cautiously.
The things in the barracks have always had enough gimmicks to attract attention. Especially in the barracks of the cathars, the things that flow out of it, whether it is eaten or used, are sought after.
Literacy books, for example, are both scientific and educational, and interesting. Not only is it easy to understand, but it is also easy to learn and remember. For the big guys in the barracks, it's the most suitable.
This is also the most suitable reading material for those children who are just starting out. Therefore, many families with some family backgrounds will buy some literacy books from the military camp and take them home for their children to see.
Since this is a good thing to enlighten the people, the cathars are not strict in regulating it. As a result, as soon as the literacy books are replenished within the Apologists, the civilian study rooms are simultaneously put on the shelves.
In the schools for children to study, all of them are purchased on a large scale. This has become one of the few sources of revenue for the Department of Science and Education of the Ministry of Rites.
Li Chengji knew this, so he smiled and asked, "Is he literate?" โใ
"Recognize some. When children were in Tous, they often looked at the Qur'an. The insiders taught from the side, but they recognized the above scriptures completely. Speaking of this, Nazierdin's father's face was a little sad.
Because his wife was destroyed by a war during the siege of Tus. So when I talk about the past, I can't help but feel emotional.
Swallowing his saliva, he saw that Li Chengji seemed to be interested in Nasuirdin, so he continued: "A few days ago, I moved to Malu, and I spent some dinars to set up a shop. The child also studied in the school in the city. Today, when the cathars entered the city, the school was closed. โใ
In the seven counties ruled by the Governor's Office of Khorasan, schools sprung up in various counties. This is hosted by the Ministry of Rites! Recruit some learned gentlemen from the people and enter the school to teach.
The Ministry of Rites will issue a part of the monthly salary. The other half is borne by the school.
At this time, it was at the time of the great development of the Governor's Palace in Khorasan. In many places, a huge amount of money is required. Therefore, where you can save it, you should naturally save a little. And the school bears a part of it, which can also make students understand that it is not easy to study.
Of course, the biggest motivation for the people to send their children to school is profit.
Because the Ministry of Rites said that in the future, imperial examinations will be held, and officials will be selected from among the learned scholars. This is great news for those businessmen who have sharpened their heads and want to enter the ruling class.
Therefore, in the school, most of the children who study are often from businessmen. In addition, in order to encourage private schools, the Ministry of Rites also allowed businessmen to donate money to build schools. After completion, the name of the school can also be named by the merchants themselves.
That's a great deal!
Far-sighted businessmen will naturally not be stingy with such a small amount of money. Therefore, the construction of the school was very fast.
The Governor's Office of Khorasan will also give a certain tilt in many policies. For example, on land, you can apply directly to the Governor's Palace. And then on the official side, you only need to use a small amount of money to get a lot of land.
This is in Malu City, where every inch of land is expensive, but it is a big bargain.
(Something went wrong and I had a minor operation.) It is currently recovering. I also wish you all book friends a happy new year! Although it was many days late. I feel the reward of Li on the street, and I am also grateful for the support of the first class book friends when to start. Your perseverance is my greatest motivation. Without further ado, keep updating. ๏ผ
