Chapter 33 Multiplication Pedagogy

Li Zhigao's on-site demonstration was very effective, and the shocking scene brought by the machine not only convinced Zhou Daqiang and the local tenant villagers who came with him, but also made the soldiers in the regimental training feel a sense of awe for Li Zhigao, which was a bit of an unexpected joy.

Not to mention the local villagers, those who came to serve as soldiers because of money were originally just to be able to eat and drink, but they may not be very willing to be soldiers, but Li Zhigao gave them good food and drink, good clothing and housing, and a full salary, which made them slowly begin to accept Li Zhigao and have some love, but that's all.

However, this demonstration of the machine is different, many of these soldiers were also bankrupt tenants before, and they had to go to the city to find a way, they naturally knew very well what the appearance of these machines meant, and all of this was from Li Zhigao's hands, which made them in awe of these machines at the same time, but also had a sense of awe of Li Zhigao.

After all, human beings always instinctively feel awe in the face of mysterious things, such as fearing heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, and they are the same in the face of machines that have never been seen.

That is, from the moment when Li Zhigao personally demonstrated these agricultural machinery, Li Zhigao's image began to really penetrate into the hearts of these soldiers, no matter what they had such and such thoughts before, but at this time they really accepted and recognized Li Zhigao, although it has not yet reached the level of only Li Zhigao's foresight, but it is much deeper than the past that just took money to work.

In short, no matter what the reason, at least Li Zhigao can clearly feel that since then, these people have seen themselves differently, his orders have been carried out more thoroughly, and there are fewer and fewer cases of being punished for laziness and slippery during training.

The situation seems to be getting better and better.

In addition to the soldiers who were more obedient, not to mention those tenants, under Li Zhigao's grace and authority, except for a few diehards, most of the tenants accepted Li Zhigao's new conditions, signed a new agreement with Li Zhigao, and each family sent a person to learn new knowledge.

As for the diehards, Li Zhigao never demanded them, and still acted in accordance with the original contract, and would not give them any support, while Li Zhigao vigorously supported those who agreed to sign a new contract. Anyway, time and facts can solve everything, and I believe that in the end, when the power of hybrid rice and fertilizer machinery comes out, the comparison between the two boxes is more effective than any language.

The tenants who agreed to sign the new contract, the people they sent to learn the new agricultural technology were all strong men, there was no woman, children and the elderly, and the purpose of their coming was actually very simple, in addition to learning new things from Li Zhigao, it was also a goodwill given by Zhou Daqiang.

Because Zhou Daqiang knows that since he can't fight against it, it is better to take refuge sincerely, and it is not good to be half-hearted. What's more, people have already handed over such a large amount of money in advance, that is, the minimum deposit of farmers, and they don't know what to do, they have soldiers, and next time they will not give money, but send troops, so Zhou Daqiang not only sent young people from all families, but even his eldest son Zhou Hucheng was also sent to study.

These young people are very happy to come to study, after all, they are exposed to new things, and they all have a curiosity.

Moreover, Li Zhigao's new owner said that these seedlings are all high-yielding new rice, and the yield per mu is at least one or two times higher than what they planted in the past, and it would be great if this is the case, and even if there is no harvest, there is a so-called insurance fund, and they will not be too bad.

The proprietor also said that using these magical machines to drill wells, plough the land, plant seedlings, and water the ground are all free, which saves a lot of trouble.

However, people said again, although it is for free use, but because there are too few machines, so who to use first is particular, basically, who learns to open first, the best to open, the first to pass the comprehensive examination of various mechanical operations, who will be given home first.

In this way, young people are not happy to lag behind, they all want to learn to use these machines as soon as possible, so that they can drive the machines to plough their own land as soon as possible, not to mention saving trouble, the key is majestic!

Have you ever seen a machine farming before? No, my family is it, how about it, admire it! Then Xiaocui, you still don't follow me......

There are too many people who come to study, there are more than 300 people, but there is only one teacher, Li Zhigao.

If Li Zhigao teaches these more than 300 people together, it is not impossible, but the efficiency will be greatly reduced, and it will also waste Li Zhigao's time, Li Zhigao is very busy, and it is impossible to teach these people how to use agricultural machinery all day long.

To this end, Li Zhigao used another method, that is, the multiplication method.

To put it simply, Li Zhigao did not teach all of them together, but first selected three young people who were only 17 years old and had the most literacy as his first batch of apprentices.

People in this age group are more receptive to new things, and with fewer people, they are more effective at teaching themselves, which is able to increase the speed of learning.

This is the same as Li Zhigao learning to drive back then, if you are in an ordinary class, then wait in line, more than a dozen people practice on wheels, it is simply a crime. But if you are willing to pay more money to go to the VIP class, it is two people and one car, if it is more advanced, it is one person with one car and one coach, and you can get results in a few days, and if you are fast, you can learn basic subjects in one or two days.

The same is true, Li Zhigao only teaches three people, so that they can quickly learn and then quickly get on the bus to actually work, and the speed of teaching can also be the fastest.

Li Zhigao had already thought about it, he didn't have time to stay here all day to teach his disciples, he still had a lot of things to do, and now was the time to plant rice, and he couldn't delay the farming time, so Li Zhigao had to teach these three apprentices in the shortest possible time, and after that, let these three apprentices copy their own methods and teach three more each, so multiplied, it is definitely faster than one person teaching a large group, and the teaching is good.

In other words, the multiplication method is very similar to the traditional master with apprentice, and it is easier for these people to accept.

This teaching method is very simple, that is, the master teaches a fixed number of apprentices, after teaching the apprentices, the apprentices become teachers, continue to teach a fixed number of apprentices, and multiply in turn, the advantage is that the teaching is comprehensive, the speed of transmission is fast, and the apprentices are teachers in a blink of an eye, which also increases their learning enthusiasm and improves learning efficiency. Well, in fact, to put it bluntly, this thing is similar to the flickering of MLM, but it is used in communication technology.

Of course, there are many disadvantages, that is, this kind of teaching method is not deep enough, too coarse, can not learn deep things, theoretical things are difficult to master, but I think that anyway, I just learn the most basic machine, and it is not a profound thing, once it doesn't work, twice, as long as you can do the basic work, you will practice more in the future.

There are no traffic police here, and he has brought a large amount of fuel and a lot of agricultural machinery in advance, which is enough for them to toss.

As for whether there will be danger in the process of learning mechanical work, this, anyway, the precautions are clear, and if something happens, it will be their own business, Li Zhigao doesn't have time to care about this, what he needs now is time, but he doesn't have time to talk to you about safety.

In this way, it took only three days for Li Zhigao to teach the three apprentices how to indulge this series of agricultural machines, and in the process of teaching, he took advantage of the situation to plough the land of most of the people who signed a new agreement with him in the Zhuangzi and planted seedlings, so that everyone could really see the power of the machines.

After that, it is to let these three people be teachers, teach others separately, so as to spread constantly, of course, what they will do in the future is not to cultivate land for their own families, but to open up new wasteland, anyway, the surrounding land, including Ma'anshan, is already full of Li Zhigao, just plough it casually.

After spending another day supervising on the side, I nodded with satisfaction after discovering that the three of them were teaching well and the others were also very enthusiastic about learning.

Can you not be enthusiastic about learning? Let's not talk about the rarity of these machines, let's just talk about the ability, but it is really a good thing that can save time and effort!

The owner is now kind, not only ploughing the land for their own family, planting seedlings, but also giving them a chance to learn to use these machines, no longer learn hard, not to say that the owner and their own people are not right, just say that so many people are here, they all know each other, in case others learn to learn by themselves, how embarrassing, how to greet people in the village in the future?

You have to learn, you have to learn!

It is under this enthusiasm that these young people learn very quickly, and they can understand a general idea after almost teaching a few words, and then they can actually open it with a few hands.

This also made Li Zhigao nod secretly, feeling that illiterate people may not be able to learn how to use machines, and illiterate people may just learn words more slowly, but if they use actual teaching methods, it is just as effective.

For example, in later generations to learn to drive, in addition to traffic laws and regulations or something need cultural knowledge, really get on the car to practice the stage, you don't need much culture, as long as you get more hands, you can drive.

In addition, these people cannot be said to be completely illiterate, because Li Zhigao found that most of them can read, but they don't know much.

This is also related to the local environment, after all, this is Anhui, and close to Nanjing, since ancient times it has been a prosperous place, even if it is a villager, it will basically be enlightened by the family or the school run by the villagers themselves, and the advanced knowledge does not dare to say, but if you are over seventeen or eighteen years old, you can know Braille for the first time, and you can do simple arithmetic, this is still a farmer, if you are a city person, the literacy rate is higher.

In this regard, Li Zhigao's illiterate army is a special case, he recruited refugees at the beginning, after all, there are many options for better refugees in these years, such as working as a worker in a factory, or going to an apprenticeship in a shop, and so on.

Most of these people are people who have been poor since childhood, and their poor families have no conditions for them to learn cultural knowledge, and it is this group of people who wanted Li Zhigao at the beginning, so it is reasonable that the cultural level is outrageously low, and even too low.

In other words, the literacy rate of the Chinese people during this period was indeed very low, but it was not so low as the outrageous training of Li Zhigao's regiment.

You see that the Beiyang Army selects soldiers, and the height requirements are not high, but there are certain requirements for the literacy rate, what is required is preliminary literacy, plus there is a name for the imperial court, and if necessary, you can also arrest Ding, which is incomparable with Li Zhigao's situation.

In contrast, the peasants in Chenjia Village are different, they are basically tenants with land to cultivate, although they are also very poor, but after all, they have an economic foundation, and secondly, they live in groups, and with mutual help, it is still possible to let their own family members recognize a word.

For example, Li Zhigao heard that in Jinjia Village, next door to Chenjia Village, there is a great talent who has been shown to be talented in the past and has opened a school hall to teach children enlightenment, and the children of Chenjia Village have also been sent there to study in the past, so there are so many literate young people.

After seeing that these apprentices were doing a good job, Li Zhigao explained a few words to Liu Runsheng, Scott and Edward, saying that he would go out for a few days to do something, so that they should not worry, train with peace of mind, and take a good look at the troops and the base, and then quietly came to a place that did not attract attention, and started the ring to return to modern times.
