Chen Fei inspected the classes where the students were being taught at night, and these craftsmen worked twelve hours a day, and then set aside four hours a night to teach the students before going to rest and sleep. And Chen Fei persuaded them not to work so hard, but they were obviously all desperate for the field. Chen Fei couldn't say anything, because they were desperate to get land for themselves, which was normal in ancient times. And if Chen Fei stops it, it will be absolutely thankless. As for their willingness to teach, Chen Fei let them teach together.

However, I found that there were a few people who were very interesting, they were not teaching, they were actually resting. This made Chen Fei feel a little interesting, did they actually want land? Are they not wasting their time by doing this?

"Don't you go and teach your disciples? Do you not take disciples, and do you not want the fields? Chen Fei asked.

And one of these craftsmen said: "Chen Langzhong, it's not that we don't want land, but we have a better method. ”

"Oh? What's the method? Chen Fei asked.

Then, they took Chen Fei to another place, where a craftsman was teaching ten apprentices, and then Chen Fei saw that they seemed to have a good relationship, they were together.

"In Chen Langzhong, we are a group, and the six of us work together and then teach in batches. We estimate that it should take about a year to teach an apprentice to become a teacher. Of course, these apprentices who have just graduated from the school are also relatively basic things. The Master leads them into the door to practice, and their future depends on them, and we can't help them much. And we, the craftsmen, are all the same for these ordinary basic things, and there is no big difference. So we thought, since everyone learns the same thing, why should a master teach from the beginning to the end? We might as well teach separately to save time. Ability to train more apprentices in less time. A craftsman said.

Chen Fei then calculated and asked, "The six of you, according to one year, each of you will teach for two months, and the last year will end up with sixty people." So you don't seem to have changed much, right? ”

Chen Fei also understood that this model could not actually accelerate the speed of apprentices. And the number of teachers is the same every year, so it doesn't really make sense, so Chen Fei couldn't figure out why they did this. There was no point in doing this, but Chen Fei felt that it was a bit cumbersome.

"Chen Langzhong, this one is different. Each and every one of us craftsmen is working. But we're not good at things like that. Some people are good at making arrows, some people are good at making spears, some people are good at making horizontal knives, these are all different. And if we teach us what we're not good at, that's half the effort. And we just teach separately, and the first person is responsible for teaching the basics, about forty days or so. The rest of the people are different, teaching what they are best at, which can shorten the time. If it's the way it used to be. When a person encounters something he is not good at, he has to ask others before he can come back to teach, which takes a lot of time. And now we don't have to, everybody is what they are best at. This will save at least one-third of the time! ”

And Chen Fei probably understood the meaning of this craftsman, that is, if it is the usual model of one person from beginning to end, it is equivalent to letting many craftsmen teach them subjects that they are not good at. And this is actually a question of the type of work. Some people are good at crafting different weapons, so if they are asked to build something else, it will definitely not be so good. The same is true of the teaching apprentices. Let them teach what they are not good at, and it will naturally be half the effort. And now let them separate, everyone is teaching what they are best at, and that will save a lot of time.

Good at and not good at it, are two completely different concepts. I'm afraid that I am very skilled in the projects I am good at, and I am very fast in teaching apprentices. If you are not good at something, you are not good at it in the first place, so isn't teaching others a misguided child? So these craftsmen do the opposite, so that everyone is in the right way to the best subject, which is not only fast, but also very effective in teaching. The speed at which the apprentice emerges is getting faster and faster. It was supposed to take a year to leave the school, but now it can completely save one-third of the time, and it will be able to leave the school in eight months. Moreover, such apprentices, what they learn from each tutor is the subject that the tutor is best at, so they are the most effective.

"I really didn't expect that these guys would be able to think of this method, and they can also let go of the so-called gateway view, it's not simple!" Chen Fei thought.

Chen Fei was also a little surprised by this method proposed by the working people. If these craftsmen can save one-third of their time, it is equivalent to being able to obtain one-third more fields every year, so that they can also get thirty-three acres in ten years, which is a lot. And this is a matter of methodology, and the quality of the teaching is very good. That is tantamount to revolutionizing the method of education, so that they have their own model.

"Who came up with this method?" Chen Fei asked.

"Chen Langzhong, it's me, my name is Zhu Laosan!" The craftsman said.

"Okay, you are responsible for promoting this method in the Ordnance Prison, if it is the best, I will recommend you to Yang San, let him give you a raise, and maybe even be able to become a foreman. If you're lucky enough to read a little more, you might be able to become an inbound officer of the Ordnance Prison. Chen Fei said.

And this Zhu Laosan's eyes suddenly lit up, because he could not only get a salary increase, but even become a foreman, and if he was lucky, he could still become an official. Of these craftsmen who work for the government, very few of them can become petty officials. However, they are even less than those scribes, because their level of education is too low, and they do only technical work, so it is difficult for them to become officials than scribes. So Chen Fei encouraged them to study more, and then they might become officials who entered the stream. The Tang Dynasty was actually better than the later generations, that is, he was able to make those ordinary officials become officials, and it was impossible for the later Song, Ming and Qing dynasties. Therefore, the selection and employment system of the Tang Dynasty was not completely rigid, and it was much better than that of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties. (To be continued......)
