Although it is very difficult to change the appearance of the village, it is man-made, and as long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing that cannot be done.

When the villagers got the benefits, everyone seemed to work very hard, because it was about how much money they would get.

More work is more rewarding, especially if the family has a large population, it will be more energetic.

The gourd immortals took Mu Hao and Zhang Chuan on a magical trip, the purpose was to let them witness history, when the truth of history appeared in front of them scene after scene, and they were powerless to change, they had a feeling of powerlessness.

It's like a person who wants to work hard, but the limit he can reach is far from what he wants. It's a tragedy.

Mu Hao said: "I really didn't expect that China, which once led the world, would actually fall into this kind of scene." ”

The rise of the imperialist powers had a tremendous impact on the Chinese nation, especially after the Opium War. This kind of impact is more intuitive, and it is more naked.

Hulu Immortal: "I believe you have seen it, what you have seen is the true face of history, although it has a great impact on you, but I have to admit that this is real." ”

The changes brought by the gourd to the small village are also huge, and when the villagers meet the most basic food and clothing problems, they naturally think of the next problem.

That is the most concerned issue of parents in modern society, the education of the next generation.

Education is always a top priority, but the current situation in the village is very worrying, and the whole village does not even have a school, let alone a teacher.

The infrastructure is so inadequate that many children have not touched a book by the age of 10. Although engraving printing had been invented at this time, due to the high cost of printing, it was still out of reach for the poor to study.

Engraving printing is an important invention of the ancient Chinese, is the technology of engraving graphic and text on the plate to lead the way to print, its development in China has gone through several stages from seals, ink rubbing steles to engraving, and then to movable type plates.

The plate material for engraving printing is generally made of fine and solid wood, such as jujube wood, pear wood, etc. Then the wood is sawn into pieces of planks, the words to be printed are written on thin paper, and then pasted on the boards, and then according to the strokes of each word, the strokes of each word are carved into yang characters one by one, so that the strokes of each word are protruding on the board. Once the board is carved, the book can be printed.

Block printing was invented in the Tang Dynasty and began to be widely used in the mid-to-late Tang Dynasty. Later, although movable type printing was invented in the Song Dynasty, it was still commonly used by block printing.

At this time, because of the high printing cost of books, it became very difficult for ordinary people to read books. Therefore, only the upper strata of society have the economic strength to buy books and read.

This situation must change, and the first task is to get a gentleman for the children in the village.

The village did not spend a lot of money to find it in the city, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and soon a few applicants came to the door.

These people are all very old, almost all of them are over 60 years old.

Since the establishment of the imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui only had to ask questions, and Emperor Yang of Sui opened ten subjects.

There were many examination subjects in the Tang Dynasty, and the permanent subjects mainly included Ming Jing (Jingyi), Jinshi, Ming Law (Law), Ming Zi (Writing), and Ming Arithmetic (arithmetic).

The form of the examination is also different in various dynasties, the Tang Dynasty mainly has Moyi, oral examination, posting scriptures, policy questions, poems, etc., and the Song Dynasty mainly has scriptures, policy questions, poems, etc.

Mei Xiaohan is not interested in these subjects at all, he doesn't want these children to learn these things, even if they want to study, they can only be selected as an extracurricular reading material.

Science and technology will always be the primary productive force, so we must start from children and cultivate scientific and technological talents. So the gentlemen who invited me didn't fancy any of them.

Mei Xiaohan felt that she was still acting in too haste, and many things were not planned. Including the planning of the entire village, so he is now messy.

In fact, the biggest problem is the language, many villagers do not understand what they say, but the children are different, if you can strengthen their education and instill in them the concept of modernization, it will form a virtuous circle.

Mei Xiaohan decided to gather the children and teach them Mandarin herself.

Everything starts with Mandarin, and speak Mandarin well. At the beginning, when I heard that the children were going to be sent to study, the village refused because there would be one less laborer. But when I heard that I could get a subsidy for studying, no one objected.

Most of the villagers feel that although it is useless to study, they are a little embarrassed to see that many children have gone and not let their children go.

From this day on, the way of timing changed.

In ancient times, the day was divided into 12 hours, and the earthly branch was ranked: that is, the 12 zodiac signs in the Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

An hour is now two hours. 23~1 o'clock, 1~3 o'clock, 3~5 o'clock, 5~7 o'clock, 7~9 o'clock, 9~11 o'clock, 11~13 o'clock at noon, 13~15 o'clock at noon, 15~17 o'clock at Shen time, 17~19 o'clock at unitary time, 19~21 o'clock at the time of Xu, 21~23 o'clock at Hai time. In ancient times——— the evening was regarded as a watch, the second watch at sea, the third watch at the sub-time, the fourth watch when the ugly time, and the fifth watch when the Yin time.

The way the time is measured has changed and the day has become a 24-hour clock.

The school is open from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Although such a time has been set, the villagers' concept of time is still very vague.

So in order to supervise, a horn appeared, and the time was set, and when the time came, the horn would automatically sound. To read a short text, you need to master at least a few hundred basic Chinese characters.

However, now a problem has arisen, there is a shortage of teaching materials, and classes cannot be attended without teaching materials. What's more, to learn these Chinese characters, you also need to start learning from pinyin.

It seems that it is very necessary to go back, but this trip must not be in vain, and it is necessary to plan well, such as: what to bring and how many things to bring.

"A list has to be made!"

Mei Xiaohan shared her thoughts with several administrators and asked them to discuss.

"If you want to bring something, you have to bring something!"

"After all, every crossing is an adventure..."

"There is still a risk of crossing."

Zhang Yun said: "Why don't you let me go!" ”

"No... Or I'll go by myself, I don't worry about you! ”

Doing everything by himself will always be much more at ease, not to mention that crossing is facing a lot of risks, and he can't let his friends bear it.
