Chapter 16 Teaching and Fishing

In the course of these practical learnings, the prisoners of war - who are now called seeds by the teachers - feel refreshed every few days. They are trying to get closer to this advanced era, even if they don't have any foundation in mathematics and physics to learn from scratch, even if many of them are not even familiar with their own words and words, they are still following the path that the teachers have drawn for them, because this road leads to their future happiness.

How can I improve the learning efficiency of my captives? This was a real headache for the teachers who came to the prisoner of war camp in the new district. They are faced with students who do not have the receptivity and plasticity of children, but who are probably more ignorant than preschoolers, and even worse, who do not understand the language. And the time is still very tight, they almost have to quickly become a team of several people can reach the level of secondary school students, this task is not small, and the time is only a pitiful less than three months. If they don't reach their goal before the start of spring, they will have to wait another year - almost the best time to miss the empire's weakness.

Therefore, for the education of the Franks, they tend to focus on quick practicality and pertinence. Frank, for example, learned how to make and use agricultural machinery, which was in fact a carpenter's product of improved ploughs and labor-saving levers, and he would no longer have learned how to compost, how to deal with plant pests and diseases, or how to treat the villagers. He's just part of a team. The working group really doesn't have the time to go from primary school to junior high school to identify everyone's learning direction step by step.

Although it is very easy to say "XX goes to the countryside", many things are not so simple. Those who learn simple mechanical production will inevitably be smashed by a hammer today, and will be pierced by nails tomorrow, and have to face headache arithmetic problems at night; There are endless maps and questions to learn about crop pest control every day, and there are various samples waiting for them to use the knowledge they have learned to identify; It is relatively easy to treat the sick and save people, and they can carry a variety of ready-made drugs that are not large in size. For example, various vitamins: penicillin, erythromycin, cef, azith, nofloxacin, berberine, various sulfonamides, analgesics, hemodiarrheals, antidiarrheals, ...... Fit enough into a backpack, not including the various dressing materials that require local materials. But the problem is that teachers, or rather doctors, have to repeat the symptoms and precautions for each drug many times, and it is not enough to simply translate the instructions into a new instruction manual and attach it to a cardboard box, and each drug has to be taken out separately for the exam...... Those who study animal husbandry are also faced with a similar situation, but the difference is that they have the opportunity to practice, such as holding a syringe to deflate cattle and other practical teaching.

Although he studied hard and tired, returning to the dormitory to clean up and fall asleep, Frank soon realized that these were real skills, and that he could save some effort by learning a little more in the agricultural machinery class, and he could go home and rest after doing farm work more efficiently than before. This kind of knowledge that ordinary people can learn and can apply, without having to buy expensive wands and go to the nobility to fiddle with. In fact, the house was full of slaves of rich nobles, but I had heard of magicians marrying wives, and wives followed suit. A magician who can really afford to squeeze into the circle is extremely rare among civilians. In addition to being talented, it is on the thighs. What's more, they who can use magic basically rely on magic to make a fortune, where would anyone be willing to work in the fields? Even the declining poor nobles would not do such a thing, for them that pitiful glory and blind self-confidence are more important than anything else, even if they can get rich by waving their wands in the fields, and continue to do some tricks to serve the nobles can only eat, and few people are willing to lower their bodies and return to the circle of repairing the earth.

The class of this world is solidified, and so is the society within the country. Wealth gives way to status, to class. If wealth does not flow, or the way and direction of flow are strictly restricted, society cannot usher in new progress. The old buildings had begun to decay but were forever being repaired and not new, and cracks were already covering the entire wall. The whole world is like such a building, waiting for the seeds of metamorphosis to sprout and grow in such a dead place, and the thriving saplings will completely open the cracks in the walls, so that everything will return to the rubble and build a new home.

While Pippins' companions began to finish their early morning assembly and running exercises, and went on their studies in the greenhouse, in the classroom, and in the workshop, Pippons and his non-selected class stood on the playground. Sweat slid down their foreheads to their chin stubble, and although it was itchy, they couldn't wipe it at all. Because the instructor's glue stick can literally hit your ass at any time.

Standing posture is their first subject of the day. Then there's trail running, obstacle running, fighting training, assassination training...... After this set is done, the students can enjoy the sunset and wait for a sumptuous dinner.

The scorching May sun continued to bake the poor group of novices. Sweat flows not only on the surface of the skin, but also under the clothes. In the slow-flowing beads of sweat combined with the equally slow-flowing time, Pippons struggled to restrain his body. The first half hour was very relaxed and pleasant, for him after a period of training, the initial ten minutes of discomfort had been far extended, but the hour-long military posture training was still a great test of the will of this group of soldiers who had just left the old army.

He didn't know what the use of cultivating the will was, and instead of thinking about it, he could only keep imagining other things to distract him from suffering. For example, think of the girl in his hometown by the sea, and think of the sumptuous meal at noon...... Imagination alone may not solve the problem, and you have to pull yourself back to reality from time to time, because if you imagine too deeply, your tense movements will deform and your butt will hurt - or you will have to do some push-ups to make up for your mistakes. At the beginning of the training, some of the trainees even received the punishment of increasing the time of the military posture.

Just like the PLA in East Africa, now the instructors are dedicated to training them with the simple aim of making them PLAs on that planet. After the hostage issue and compensation issue are resolved, the PLA may still take on the task of policing the stronghold, but it is expected that the PLA will not participate in the possible struggle between the new district and Elta, or even the struggle with other forces. There are strong political considerations in this action. In place of the PLA mission, there will be a military force consisting of locals and obsolete equipment. If the prisoners of war who are learning popular science are the plowshares, then these new troops, who have begun to be trained by the capitulationists, are the swords. Both hands should be hard, and both hands should be grasped.
