Chapter 159: Rejuvenating the country through education
The breeze blows through the grasslands of Tongliao, wafting with bursts of fragrance, and the verdant growth of the grassland after the rain is vigorous, weaving the grassland into a turquoise blanket.
He Tianci enjoyed the beauty of nature, and stretched his waist comfortably: "It's so comfortable!" ”
Early in the morning, the shepherd carried a day's rations and began a day's grazing life, and the cattle and sheep were also cheering enthusiastically, looking forward to the integration with nature.
As soon as he heard the old cow whining, He Tianci thought of himself, and said that there was no worse place, only a tired cow, and now He Tianci has a deep understanding, and now he feels a sore waist for a while, and it seems that he will have to control it in the future, this is not what those stallions said, after crossing the Republic of China, they will marry countless wives, maybe they will carry strong pills when they cross.
Anyway, I can't do it, if I really have so many wives, my waist won't be tired.
It is getting closer and closer to the autumn harvest, standing on the city wall of Tongliao, the golden corn fields in the distance are in full view, standing on a high place to see the scenery and have a special taste, some hard-working farmers have begun to prepare for the autumn harvest, and there are hard-working farmers everywhere.
"Daddy, I'm thirsty."
A little boy of five or six years old followed his father and walked in the fields with a somewhat sloppy gait.
The boy's father, Zhang Yuman, rolled up the sleeves of the coarse cloth clothes on his body and wiped the sweat on the child's body: "San'er, if you are thirsty, you can rest!" ”
After handing the kettle to his son, Zhang Yuman continued to pick up the hoe, although it was summer, the sun was hot, but he didn't want to relax for a moment, and came to Taonan and their family of five was divided into twenty acres of land.
The three children in the family are still young, and the task of cultivating 20 acres of land falls on him and his wife. His wife sometimes has to take care of three children, so his burden is even greater, and there is basically no opportunity to rest.
After a busy morning, Zhang Yuman rarely had time to rest, and took advantage of the gap to take out dry tobacco. Hurriedly took a few puffs, looked at the little son who was catching crickets in the field, and sighed: "The child is getting bigger and bigger, and it's not a matter of staying by his side every day!" ”
Yes, in a family like Dongmeng, there is a lot of land that has been allocated, and the pressure on their shoulders is heavy, and the children not only can't help, but also the parents have to be distracted every day in the field. This has greatly reduced the efficiency of reclamation of wasteland, and He Tianci also sees it.
Looking at everything in front of him, he strengthened the idea in his heart, to run a school, so that these children can get a better education, and secondly, they can better cultivate talents. Without education as a foundation, it is difficult to develop the military, industry, and economy.
Rejuvenate the country through education. For now, it is worth it with little or no amount of interest.
For the next period of time, the whole Dongmeng was busy, and teachers from all over the country came to visit. Due to the chaos of the Russo-Japanese War and the abolition of the imperial examination system by the Qing Dynasty, most of the teachers were at home, and they heard that Dongmeng recruited teachers at a high price. One by one, they were excited.
Although these teaching gentlemen are a little decadent, they can barely make up for it, so that children can read and write and some good Chinese traditions, and let them learn Chinese etiquette from these old gentlemen from an early age. Don't think that in the parallel world, China, which has always been advertised as a country of etiquette, can't find etiquette.
That's the biggest tragedy.
Three days later, a notice issued by He Tianci in Dongfeng was even more shocking.
Dongmeng must ensure that all school-age children are required to go to school in accordance with the law, all fees for Mongolian, primary and secondary schools are exempted, and the monthly salary of teachers and gentlemen is paid by the government! Anyone who obstructs a student from going to school will be fined 100 yuan lightly, and punished by national law! The teachers of the school building are organized by the local government, and if the required funds are insufficient, the town guard can declare and allocate them, and the funds are earmarked!
"All are exempt! Anyone who interferes with the law of the law of the Upper Class! Good, good, good! In the town guard office, Shu Houfang's eyes were red when he read it at the end, and he slapped his thigh and applauded: "Education to rejuvenate the country, this is education to rejuvenate the country!" ”
Shu Houfang is Shu Houde's elder brother, the two brothers are literate and martial, Shu Houde studied military and studied in Japan, Shu Houfang graduated from St. John's University in Shanghai, this time with Shu Houde's relationship, he was invited to Dongmeng to serve as the Minister of Education.
In addition to his role as Minister of Education, he also served as the principal of Dongmeng No. 1 Middle School.
"Shi Jian (Shuhou Fangzi), I've worked hard for you recently! Dongmeng's education is handed over to you. He Tianci didn't expect that Shu Hou Fang had such a lot of energy, except for the teaching gentlemen recruited in other places in the Northeast, the entire Dongmeng was a blank, and they all relied on Shu Hou Fang.
Shu Houfang also lived up to expectations, through his own relationship, he invited a lot of teachers in Shanghai, which made He Tianci excited, his students must merge Chinese and Western, the old gentleman taught to write, so that students do not forget the traditional Chinese etiquette.
Western science and technology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., should also be introduced into Dongmeng, after all, these things will be the basis for the development of industry in the future.
Shu Houfang pushed the black-framed glasses on his face, except for the black-framed eyes, his whole face was like a Maitreya Buddha, always with a kind smile: "In the eyes of the town guard, in today's troubled times, it is really a blessing for the people of Dongmeng to find an enlightened official like you, and I have done everything I should do." ”
He Tianci was able to vigorously develop education, and the tuition fees were all waived, this move made Shu Houfang, who studied at St. John's University and studied in the United States, admire, if you talk about exempting all fees, except in the Christian church schools of foreigners, the whole of China has not done so.
I didn't expect that in such a remote place in Dongmeng, He Tianci could be so open-minded and able to support the cause of education, at this time he was also moved to the face of Maitreya Buddha, his eyes were red, and his greatest wish in life was to promote the education of the Chinese nation.
But after a few years, in addition to the church school in Shanghai, he ran into walls everywhere, the Qing Dynasty has reached the last few years, even can't eat, who still has the heart to study, and finally can only reluctantly return to the Shanghai church school, where the education development is good, but it is always a school run by foreigners, he has always had such a regret in his heart.
But now he finally has such an opportunity, which can be regarded as making up for the regret in his heart, Dongmeng is the starting point of his dream, looking at such an open policy in Dongmeng, he feels that there is a future for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the vast grassland.
