Chapter 5: Six Moments in Thirty-Four Years (1)

"Stallions, to pick and kick joints are very straight, the lines should be straight, the chest and back should be wide, and the temper should be fierce. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info breed cattle, pick the smart, the horns bent, the strong, the temperamental, the memory, the other ox to throw the whip and it only needs to pull the reins to understand......"

In the classroom, the smell of blood was strong, the back of a dead cow had been cut open, and Chen Jian was standing at the front drawing a few things with talc on the blackened wooden board, and was talking about something.

"This method can't be used now, you wait until July to come back to study full-time, I will teach you how to identify whether the cow is in heat, then let's see if the method I said can be used."

According to the plan, all six classes of part-time students will have two months of full-time study time in each class for three years, because Chen Jian has no skills, so he can only use this method.

The agricultural class is taught in February and July, because March and August are the seasons for spring and autumn planting, and you can go directly to the farm after learning.

The smelting class is in August and September; Military classes are in October and November; Textile classes are in December and January; Education classes are in May and June; The last medical classes are in March and April - mainly to cope with the hottest time of May and June, when diseases are common.

The education system of the entire summer city will be divided into two levels in the future, after completing one to two years of enlightenment education, the best five or six people will be selected to follow Chen Jian to continue studying, and the rest will be mostly professional education, with workshop and farm practice accounting for eighty percent of the time in a year, and the remaining two months will continue to study full-time.

After three years, the first batch of children in professional education will be released, and they will teach everything they have learned in practice to the next group of people, forming a scale.

These two months are cramming education, only let them know what it is, not let them know why it is, just do it.

These young people who have been instilled with all kinds of technical methods may mess things up, may make mistakes because they are too motivated to make meritorious contributions, and may even lose money and money. But as long as they dare to do it, it's always good, Xia Cheng's financial resources can support them for a few years.

It's February, and Jian Chen has to spend half a day every day to tell them a lot of things.

After finishing today's homework, Jian Chen shook the talcum powder on his body and said, "Okay, let's disperse, there is something delicious in the evening, beef." In a few days you will have to go to the farm, and you will definitely have to suffer some hardships there, and eat something good here. Go ahead. ”

As soon as he pointed to the cow in front of the stage, he left, and the children in the classroom looked at the cow that was cut open in front of them, and they were a little disgusted for a while, and several boys smiled and said, "Then are you born like this?" ”

The girl's face was blushing, and she looked at the severed cow on the wooden table in front of her and said, "Don't say it, who brought this thing to the kitchen?" I won't eat it...... Ji Xia, this is afraid that we will eat beef in the farm, and it will disgust us. ”

A boy put down the clay plate and was about to go out with the half of the cow with a smile, and several children shouted: "Shiquan, how do you see you smiling every day?" Would you like to go to the farmstead so much? It would be nice if we were born a few years earlier, and now those who have finished the first batch of schools, except for Ji Yun, who is not an eighth knight? But it will be three years before we can have the qualification of the twelfth class. ”

The boy called Shi Quan is very delicate, and between his eyebrows and eyes he looks very much like his sister who is very famous and very good at acting.

Shi Quan carried the beef, said with a smile on his face, "Why be upset? Isn't it the same everywhere you work? ”

There was a burst of boos from below, and Shi Quan sighed: "Don't think so, don't you all criticize yourself?" What are these things we are learning? ”

The girl below couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to be in charge of a lot of people at a young age?" Look at Yu Qian'er, she's a little older than us, but even my mother is afraid of her. Even if we have to work, how good is it to stay in the workshop in Yucheng? I don't want to go to the farmstead. ”

Shi Quan put down the beef, carefully put away the clay tablet on which he had drawn a lot of things, and said a little angrily, "Isn't it all about working for Xia Cheng wherever you go?" Ji Xia said, Xia Cheng is ours, we are Xia Cheng's countrymen, don't we have to eat? ”

"As long as I can remember, the tribe was starving, and I thought that one day I would be able to eat enough. I'm full now. But why do you eat enough? It's because our mother and uncles have been working hard. ”

"My eldest brother died in the battle against the Meteorite tribe, the third brother stayed on the grassland in order to let those people in Shishan leave, and was nailed to the wood by the grassland tribes, although my sister likes many people, she has to run around every day, and she rarely can rest, and when she was in Xia City, she secretly practiced singing at night many times, and her voice was dumb."

"For whom are they dead, or so tired? Isn't it for us? Now we can go to school, we can dislike beef, we can even feel that going to the farm is miserable, didn't they get it for us? They are for Xia Cheng, but who is Xia Cheng? Isn't that what we are? ”

"When the third brother died in the grassland, the second brother was the group of people who followed the white horse to attack the big settlement of the grassland, and after he came back, although he hated the white horse, although he beat the white horse with Shishan, he never told me that I hated the white horse, only told me that if I grew up one day and became a man in Xia Cheng, I should be able to distinguish between private hatred and public hatred."

"In the battle of Yangguan, the second brother was shot by the best shooter on the grassland from the city wall and broke his leg. But every year, the public property will take out enough money for the second brother to eat, where did these money shells come from? Isn't it everyone's work? So I believe in Ji Xia's statement that everyone is for me and I am for everyone, and I also look forward to the day when everyone only needs to work a little time to eat, and the rest of the time can do what they want to do. ”

"For example, I am also very lazy, and sometimes I don't want to get up in the morning, lying on the warm kang, but every time I think about it, I hate myself, my brothers, sisters, mothers and uncles have done so much, but I can't do anything."

"I'm not smart, I'm far behind the seven people who were named by Ji Xia, but I'm not jealous of them. They learn from Ji Xia and can learn better than me, just like my sister goes to acting far better than going to the dyeing and spinning department to work. Since Ji Xia asked me to go to the farm, it proved that it would be more suitable for me to go to the farm than other places, and I would not feel wronged in my heart. ”

"I think...... Your eyes are looking long after. Three years ago, I could read and count, which was really powerful, but from now on, what is this ability? You've seen a cart and a ploughshare, do you know how to use it? Even...... Even I don't think I'm as good as the farmer on the farm who isn't a countryman. ”

"It's time for us to grow up, and working is what we have to do to support ourselves, because we are not children, and we can't rely on the city anymore."

"Besides, Ji Yun made such a mistake, didn't he also do a good thing in the mine? Ji Xia said that he was alone with 600 people, and his story was written in the book, so why can't we do such a thing on the farm? ”

"It's not good to cry and complain when you go to the farm, because as Ji Xia said, you don't even have the courage to face the unchangeable, and you don't have the courage to think that your wisdom can change the things that can be changed. I don't like you guys like this. ”

After saying that, he left the house with the beef, and several girls looked at his back with a smile, but more people were disdainful.

"Hey, it's so nice, Ji Xia can't hear it, why bother? He's such a fake, I didn't think about it that way, never did, so he must have pretended. ”

"Definitely."

Several people nodded in agreement, and suddenly felt much more comfortable in their hearts, and took out the Taobei given to them by their mother or brothers and sisters before leaving: "Let's go eat something else, as long as there is Taobei here, you can buy anything." I met Suyu from Sucheng yesterday, and I chatted with him for a few words, and I was convinced by what I said, and he said that a person like me in their city might be able to become a priest in ten years......"

The people in the house gradually separated, talking about their own imaginary lives, and naturally divided into two groups. A group of people touched the pottery shells given to them by their mothers or older brothers and sisters, and when they thought of Shi Quan's words, they felt that there seemed to be something sticky and greasy on these pottery shells, as if they were sweat or blood.

After hesitating for a long time, he swallowed the saliva caused by the delicious stir-fry in the iron pot in the separate dining room, and fiercely picked up the taobei.

"When I grow up, I want to earn Taobei by hard work, and when I buy my mother a pair of boots made of fine lambskin and handmade felt next year, my mother's feet will always be cold."

Thinking this way, or thinking that way, or instinctively feeling that something really didn't seem right to them, the group went together to eat the beef that had been cut open by a knife.

A few days later, Ishizumi had finished his last class in February, and was leaving for the farm tomorrow.

At night, all the children who went to the farm were invited by Chen Jian to drink, and after a few glasses of wine, Chen Jian gave them a message.

The sky is high and the earth is wide, and there is a lot to be done.

"When you go to the farm, toss the ones I taught, it's okay to toss them, our Xia City is now broken, but don't affect the normal work of the farmers. I really hope that when I go to the farm again next year, the peasants will not mention you with disdain and say that you don't even know how to use a ploughshare, but will give you a thumbs up and tell me that your manure stacking method is very good, and your method of raising pigs and sheep is better than before. ”

"The farm is the lifeblood of Yucheng, and people want to eat. It is true that iron and copper can be exchanged for food now, but if one day they don't exchange it for us, what will we do? So what you are doing is not a small thing, but a big thing, a big thing, so big that you will be afraid if you can't do well in the Yucheng workshop. Do you think about how many people and how many ships are needed to transport grain from Xia City? ”

"Those peasants are not our countrymen, if they do more work than yours, and work harder than you, I will be very unhappy, because you yourself don't think of yourself as the countrymen of Xia City."

Midnight wine, midnight songs, the children are a little hazy, this is the first time they have drunk, very light fruit wine, but they are all a little drunk.

Early the next morning, Jian Chen personally sent them on the ship.

Before leaving, Jian Chen took out four pockets.

"In one pocket are six hundred peas. There are 1,200 grains in total, and they are all carefully selected. ”

"The white pockets are full of tall peas; In the black pockets, there are peas with short stems. ”

"You plant them separately, and when the peas grow, it's about July. At that time, you told me what you saw in these peas. ”

Then Jian Chen pointed to the other two pockets and said, "It's all wheat." One is wheat that we planted a long time ago, and the other is malt that I soaked in the poison I made with daylily. This one is divided into two species, remember not to mix together, otherwise it will be harvested next year. ”

"The same fertilization, the same weeding, the same harvesting, the same planting. In the fall, tell me which of the two types of wheat yields more. ”

"Just two extra things, there's not much more to say. Go ahead, it's getting late. In the most ordinary land, do something different and big. ”

Finally, Jian Chen took out a brass badge engraved with the logo of the ear of wheat and the sickle and said, "I hope that one day, this badge can be hung on your chest." Labor is the same as a hero, and it can be remembered. You are for the summer city, and the summer city is for you. (To be continued.) )
