Chapter 0145, Cultural Revolution
At the same time, Fan Jinyan also obtained 10,000 exchange points in the system, which finally gave him the intention to squander.
The Galen type is now commonly used in European countries, and the difference is only in the size of the hull and the number of guns.
And in a few years and ten years, it will be the world of sail warships, and it has also been found from the system that the first sail warships will also be built from the hands of the British in the next two years.
If you still build the most primitive sail battleship, then there is no advantage at all.
Finally, Fan Jinyan finally chose a Big Mac as his treasure for his future entry into Europe.
The USS Santa Trinidad, the most formidable battleship of the eighteenth century and the heaviest warship in the world at the time, had a terrifying 140 guns.
Displacement: 4950 tons.
Length*Width: 61.3 m x 16.2 m
Draft: 8.02 m
Capacity: 1050 people.
Armament: A total of 140 guns of various types on four floors.
Looking at the data of this ship, Fan Jinyan swallowed his saliva very unproductively, if this appears, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world!
Without thinking much about it, Fan Jinyan immediately clicked on the exchange, and at the same time spent more than 8,000 exchange points.
With such a formidable battleship appearing, the rest of the battleships are just fishing boats in a small ditch.
As for how to balance these ships after buying them to various countries, Fan Jinyan has already thought about it.
Lao Tzu bought you the sail warship and asked you to fight hard. When Lao Tzu wants to pick up the bargain, you will find that the sail warship in your hand, which can be called the overlord of the sea, is nothing more than a pile of rotten wood in front of Lao Tzu's steel battleship.
Fan Jinyan still threw the drawings to the craftsmen as at the beginning, and after a few simple words, he started to be the shopkeeper and no longer asked.
After all, if you keep it every day and look forward to it every day, the result will only put pressure on the craftsmen, so it is better to let them play freely, and maybe there will be surprises
Just when Fan Jinyan thought that everything was arranged and he could live a comfortable life for a few days, the damn system gave him a problem again, and this mission was even more difficult than asking him to go to war and kill people.
And what?
Within six months, the literacy rate should reach at least 60 percent.
According to the system's prompts, the literacy rate of the people on Qiongzhou Island is now less than 3 percent.
Completed in half a year?
In the previous life, New China spent nearly a decade to popularize national literacy, what night schools, education, and all kinds of tricks. It's not that it hasn't worked as expected.
Although Qiongdao does not have the same large land area as in New China, it does not have that much population.
But the population of the entire Qiongdao is also a million, and the number of people who can understand a few simple words may be close to 100,000, but the number of people who can really read and write is estimated to be no more than 20,000.
It is even more difficult to make millions of people literate in half a year than to kill a million people in half a year.
The requirement of the system is that sixty percent of the population is literate, which is nearly 600,000 people.
Don't say one Fan Jinyan, even a hundred, a thousand, it's nonsense.
Without a group of professional teachers, this is simply an impossible task.
Therefore, Fan Jinyan's first step is to train professional cultural teachers.
Before training teachers, it is necessary to edit textbooks that can be quickly literate. Otherwise, with the shaking head of the teaching method in this era, this task will be in vain even if it takes ten years.
At this time, Fan Jinyan suddenly thought of the enlightenment textbook he wrote for the children of the Enlightenment Institute of Nanzhou Academy of Letters, the content in which is not much different from the current teaching, but the only difference is that each text is marked with pinyin annotations under it.
That's right, Fan Jinyan shamelessly plagiarized the pinyin used in the textbooks of primary school students in later generations.
At least the effect is really good, he heard Fan Meng say a few days ago that those children are very literate, basically as long as it is not a rare word, most of them can already be read and written silently without relying on pinyin.
There is a successful example, Fan Jinyan instantly burst with information, and immediately re-edited a new textbook.
Adults' memory cannot be compared with children's, children are in the stage of memory development, and it is normal for them to learn quickly by touching books every day.
But adults can't, and due to the problem of nutrition in this era, most people's memory is not very good. In addition, adults have busy work every day, and there is not much time to study with books.
So, Fan Jinyan thought of the newspaper.
Newspapers were also a means of cultural popularization, and he remembered seeing newspapers sold by the imperial court when he was in Nanjing. It's just that it's all official information, it's too formal and rigid, and not many ordinary people buy it.
First of all, all the words in the newspaper in the early stage must be annotated in pinyin, so that the people who are not yet literate can read them. In terms of content, it will be divided into several sections, such as government information, business information, news and interesting facts, story collection and advertising.
Let Qiongzhou Daily become an indispensable part of people's lives, and at the same time read the newspaper, they also knew more words.
After Fan Jinyan confirmed the idea in his heart, he immediately left the matter of establishing the information department to his deputy Wei Liangxu, and asked him to set up the information department, recruit reporters and writers, and so on.
And he himself began to edit new textbooks in preparation for the training of the first teachers
Fan Jinyan spent three days and two nights on the textbooks alone, and finally couldn't stay up anymore so he fell on the bookcase and slept for a whole day.
At the beginning of the new textbook, there is a list of initials and finals of Hanyu Pinyin, followed by some examples of how to read the letters together, what is the flat tongue, tired color, tone, and so on. There are a lot of things that he forgot about himself, and he still redeemed them from the system.
In fact, Fan Jinyan's idea is very simple, and the main thing to teach is pinyin. As long as you master the pronunciation and combination of pinyin, it is much easier to learn the words marked with pinyin.
For the selection of teachers, Fan Jinyan did not have time to recruit in the other three states, but directly selected five hundred students from the Nanzhou Academy of Letters, all of whom were about twenty years old, and he was the future reserve official of his power.
As for teaching, Fan Jinyan transferred Soya over to teach these students with him, although they all knew words, they really didn't understand pinyin.
