In February, Denglai has been frozen and spring is approaching, everything is recovering, the grass on the plain has sprouted green shoots, and herds of horses have been released from the horse farm, and they are galloping on the plain.

On the playground of the school, a large group of teenagers between the ages of ten and fifteen were shouting the trumpet for a morning run. These teenagers were the first to enter the school after the Spring Festival.

Due to the lack of teachers, only 10 to 15-year-olds can be taught, and those younger children will have to wait a few years to go to school.

The school is uniformly militarized, and all students are housed in the school, running for half an hour every morning before starting classes.

In addition to pinyin and arithmetic, the content of the class is divided into two kinds of Chinese: vernacular and classical Chinese, and the articles in vernacular are all written by Zhao Yan after thinking hard and meditating.

Every vernacular essay has a purpose, some are inspirational, some are just, some are spurning the Han annihilation, some are praising the martyrs, and some are teaching students to have a sense of national crisis.

Classical Chinese is also a selection of some of them, but they are not deeply involved, and there are more other courses, so I don't have time to talk about classical Chinese.

In addition to this, there are other courses, such as geography, military, history, general studies, physics, chemistry, and etiquette.

This is the curriculum of primary school, which is basically the literacy stage, while instilling national ideology, a sense of crisis, as well as etiquette and quality.

And a small amount of physics and chemistry knowledge is involved, which paves the way for further study.

Quality education and etiquette education are two key points compared with pre-exam.

In later generations, even if education was popularized, there were still so many rude and low-quality scumbags who shouted quality education all day long, but it still had no effect.

In order to cure the bad roots of a nation, it is necessary to carry out in-depth and thorough transformation, so the etiquette class was born, and quality education is what teachers should always remind and pay attention to.

Although the two are different, they are related.

The etiquette class teaches students what they should pay attention to in their usual behavior, but the etiquette is not cumbersome, but it is only used to improve the education of students.

The upbringing of ordinary people is influenced by their parents, and the parents of people in the world are also uneven.

Quality is always necessary to pay attention to, for which Zhao Yan also specially stipulates various rules and regulations. For example, if a student has a conflict and fights, the reason for the fight should be found out, and the unreasonable party should not be punished.

In addition, students are encouraged to find the teacher if they have something, and if the teacher encounters some trivial disturbances from the students, the teacher should deal with them in a timely manner.

Later generations of teachers, one by one, when they encountered conflicts with students, they all played 20 boards each, regardless of whether they were justified or not. There is no real action on the student's reaction to the problem, such as being disturbed by a classmate.

Anyway, those teachers have a lot of money, and they won't run around for that bit of.

Trivial things between students can easily lead to conflicts, and the first thing that is corrupted is quality, and some students may have tasted the taste of class bullies and school bullies in school, and they can do anything in society.

In addition, if these trivial matters are not dealt with, students will not be able to study with peace of mind.

Students who disturb other classmates will directly suspend classes and go home, and go home to work for a few days first. This is the case with the educational system of Westerners, where teachers intervene in student conflicts.

For students who are in bad circumstances, they should be severely punished, so as to establish a quiet school, where teachers can solve problems for students and students study seriously.

At the same time, in order to restrain the behavior of teachers, each school has set up an inspection team to supervise the behavior of teachers, and students can go to the inspection team to report the teacher's negligence.

Primary education is stricter because it is a literacy stage and there are achievement tests for each subject.

Generally, after three years, if you pass the entrance examination, you will enter middle school, and those who cannot pass will repeat the grade. After entering secondary school, learning is different from primary school, and the examination is no longer scored, but graded into four grades: A (excellent), B (good), C (pass), and D (fail).

Students can graduate as long as they reach a C level, there is no pressure on students, it is easy to obtain a certificate, and there is a lot of room for study options.

Teachers should assist students in choosing major subjects and then spend more time on these major subjects so that they can study the surname.

The mode of education and production is also general, and the college entrance examination model that can only go to a good university if you are excellent in all subjects is like a natural economy, which is unprofessional, extremely inefficient, and a great waste of production resources.

The mode of further education that only requires excellent in one or two subjects is a division of labor and complementarity, similar to the commodity economy, in terms of production efficiency, the commodity economy is naturally higher than the natural economy, and the same is true in education.

After three years of secondary school, I went straight to university, and then began to conduct academic research and inventions.

In this era, human beings did not have a lot of knowledge, and there were still a lot of undiscovered things, so it was normal for the school period to be shorter.

At the same time, there is a separation of men and women, and men and women are separated from each other, except for some activities in primary and secondary schools, there will be no contact between the two sides, and only in universities, male and female students will not be separated from each other.

This is not only because of the conservative reasons of the era, but also because of the educational benefits of separating boys and girls, first of all, there will be no messy relationships, and secondly, studies have shown that the separation of boys and girls helps improve student achievement.

When a classroom is full of students with the same surname, there will naturally be no messy thoughts, and the attention will be more concentrated, which is also conducive to improving the students' sense of competition.

It's not that there are no stubborn literati who have opposed such an education system, saying that the vernacular is insulting to Swen, and such an education method has never been seen before, and they were directly driven out by Song Wenyuan.

Song Wenyuan's talent may not be very high, but the important thing is human integrity, and he strongly supported Zhao Yan's vernacular literature and education system, so he became the minister of the Ministry of Education, and I don't know how many literati who worked under Zhao Yan were very jealous.

The Ministry of Education and the Normal School under the auspices of Song Wenyuan fully supported the education method formulated by Zhao Yan, and all opposing voices were not allowed.

Anyway, there are many down-and-out scholars in the Ming Dynasty, in the late Ming Dynasty, the court was basically occupied by literati from industry and commerce, those poor literati, unless they were admitted to the Jinshi, otherwise even if they were lifted, there was no chance to be an official, and it was bribed to raise people to be officials, but those poor children had no money, so they couldn't be officials, and those industrial and commercial children were rich, and it was easy to be an official after being admitted to the bureaucracy.

Therefore, it is a big deal to raise people everywhere, let alone show talents. Since Zhao Yan was promoted to the general of the Dragon and Tiger, there have been more literati who have taken refuge in him, but at this time, Zhao Yan is no longer so short of literati, and it is impossible to rise to the position of leading a department in this group like Zhang Buyun and Liu Heng, who first took refuge in him.

Even if you oppose the vernacular, it's useless, so many talents, love to do it, there is no shortage of one, and there is no shortage of one! Most of the literati who agreed to stay as teachers were also from poor backgrounds and came to Zhao Yan to find something to do.

Working under Zhao Yan, the benefits are very good. Two taels of silver per month, and a stone of rice and wheat, this is the basic treatment of literati, if you have the ability to be promoted, the treatment is better, so the literati flock in.

In terms of salary, the salaries of those senior personnel are still inferior to those of the first and second rank officials of the imperial court, although Zhao Yan's idea is to pay high salaries and maintain integrity, but obviously under the high-pressure anti-corruption efforts, this strategy is not used for the time being.

However, the salaries of low-level officials are much higher than those of low-level officials in the officialdom, and their lives are generally fine.

As far as those high-ranking personnel are concerned, they generally don't need so much money, why do they have to support the whole family or something, it's just an excuse for corruption, and the cost of high-ranking officials is higher than that of lower-level officials?

Those who really have a lot of money are still those soldiers and generals, once they have made meritorious contributions, they will definitely be rewarded, and there are also dividends to be shared by the bandits.

The share received by the general is generally 1.5~3 times that of the soldier, and the maximum cannot exceed 3 times, which is a sentence of death.

In addition, those who are engaged in scientific research, those who are not educated are called craftsmen, and those who are educated are 'scientists' in the science and technology institutes, and their income is even higher than that of soldiers and generals.

Zhao Yan's method of distributing benefits is to break out the interests of high-level personnel and distribute them to lower-level personnel. The income of those high-level leaders is not very high, but in the case of Jindou, their complaints are not high, mainly because Zhao Yan leads by example.

Zhao Yan earned very little money for his own enjoyment, although he usually ate and drank exquisitely, he was not extravagant, and he was not very interested in luxury.

Almost all the silver is used for development, so although the high-level civil and military officials under Zhao Yan don't have much money, they can also live in peace, and they are also convinced by this kind of benefit distribution.

This is the principle that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked. The upper beam is upright, there is an example there, and the lower beam is not crooked.

If the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is required to be positive, the lower beam is naturally not convinced.

A group that does not have too much gap between the rich and the poor, the atmosphere of comparison is naturally not high, and everyone can keep their duties, as long as they follow the supreme path drawn by Zhao Yan for them.

Within a few days, the officers and men of the Qingdao garrison and the officers and men of the coastal fleet had already been handed out, and 90,000 taels of the reward worth 100,000 taels were given to them, and the other 10,000 taels went to the First Fleet.

Of the 1,500 officers and soldiers, almost each of them received a reward of more than 40 taels, and Yan Shiliang also received a reward of 130 taels and was promoted to the Qingdao garrison.

On that day, Yan Shiliang and his soldiers pooled money and set up a table to celebrate the victory of the Qingdao defensive battle.

…… The weather has warmed up, and more than a dozen fishing boats have sailed out of Qingdao Port. The fishermen are praying for a good day.

On a fishing boat, a sturdy young man was putting on the line between the sea and the sky, the young man glanced at his grandfather who was about to hang the hook, and asked, "Grandpa, we didn't catch much yesterday, where are the fish?" ”

"Hey, silly boy, it's just spring! Catch something. Usually in these two days, the fish from the south will come. The old man on the fishing boat laughed.

"Oh!" The boy was a little ignorant.

"In the future, I will study hard when I go to sea with my grandfather, I didn't want you to go to sea, but the chief soldier has built us a big fishing boat, and we can go farther to catch fish, and the future is great!" The old man said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"What's so good! The chief soldier wants us to pay eighty percent of the fishing tax! The boy muttered.

"You know!" The old man immediately said: "Even if you collect eighty percent of the fishing tax, your grandfather and I have been fishing for decades, and I have not seen anyone dare to fish from afar, and the fish in the sea have become fine." The chief soldier built us such a big boat, and it was not difficult to catch him a few thousand catties a day. If you catch a thousand catties a day, you can leave two hundred catties, even if you eat it yourself, it will kill you. Besides, this ship doesn't need money? If you don't confiscate ninety percent, you'll be happy. ”

"Oh!" The boy thought that it seemed to make sense, so he nodded, and no longer dwelled on the question, and the boy asked, "Grandpa, can we catch a fish today?" ”

"I don't know, but it's been a few days." The old man stroked his beard and thought, "It's not very cold this year, maybe those fish will go north early." ”

At this time, a black wave suddenly appeared on the bottom of the sea not far away, and under the light of the morning sun, it emitted some golden colors from time to time.

"Huh! Grandpa, look. The boy shouted as he pointed to the strange place.

"It's a gherkin, ready to cast a net." The old man was in good spirits, and the grandfather and grandson immediately began to prepare to cast the net, and with a pop, the net was thrown into the sea.

After a while, a net full of small yellow croakers was pulled up.

"This big boat is good, I used to want to come to this place to fish, I had to be scared." The old man sighed with emotion, he has almost been fishing very close to the coast all his life, although he has ventured a few times in this distance, but it is very dangerous for a small boat to come so far away, and it may sink at any time, and the old man has not ventured so far for more than ten years.

"Hah! That's a lot of fish! The teenager yelled excitedly.

"Huh! Let's catch other fish. The old man suddenly pulled the sail line and stopped fishing.

"Grandpa, why don't you catch so many fish?" The boy asked, puzzled.

"These cucumbers are not very valuable, let's go catch more valuable ones, since the cucumbers are here, then the mackerel and hairtail fish will definitely come." The old man said, directing the boy to drive farther into the sea.

The fishing boat they drove was a dozen or so 60-ton North American schooners built by the shipyard last year, and the sail rate of this kind of vessel was amazingly high, and a 50-ton fishing boat could be busy for two people.

The 60-ton fishing boat is basically not afraid of the usual wind and waves, and there is no danger in driving farther away.

After driving for nearly half an hour, suddenly the grandfather and grandson saw a sparkling silver light in the distant sea, and the old man said happily: "It's a hairtail, quickly prepare a hook." ”

The teenager concentrates and throws the prepared hook off the boat.

"Grandpa, these fish hooks don't even have bait, how can the fish take the bait?"

"You'll find out just by waiting." The old man looked confident, and then he saw the buoys floating on the water begin to shake.

"Hooked, hooked, grandpa, let's pull the hook up!" The boy shouted for joy.

"Wait, don't be in such a hurry, let's have another stick of incense!" The old man said calmly.

"What if you run away?"

"The hairtail fish is so greedy that it won't let go when it bites, and it can't run."

The time for a stick of incense passed quickly, and as the old man pulled the word, the two struggled to turn the gallows at the stern.

"It's so heavy! It's almost impossible to turn. The boy muttered, but he looked at the sea intently, and the hook was gradually pulled up.

The boy saw a shocking phenomenon, only to see hundreds of hooks, each biting a hairtail, and those with a tail, another bite, some even biting three or four. These hairtail fish bite their tails, and when they pull it, it's a big run! Only then did the boy know why his grandfather asked him to wait for a stick of incense.

"It's really gluttonous."

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to pull these hairtails onto the deck in exhaustion, and those hairtails were very active on the deck, making a snapping sound.

"My God, let's say five or six hundred pounds. This one is so big! It's really a success. The old man grabbed a hairtail, which weighed five or six pounds.

The boy also grabbed a hairtail and looked at it carefully, very curious about the living hairtail.

"Good grandson, don't look at it, let's catch it a few more times, luck really came today, let us meet such a big group, as long as we have the strength today, it's no problem to catch 10,000 catties."

"Tens of thousands of catties! How much silver can it be sold for! The young man had little stars in his eyes, and then asked worriedly, "Can our ship fit it?" ”

"Nonsense, such a big ship can't hold 10,000 catties of fish? The adults in the shipyard said that it is not a problem to load 570,000 catties, at most not more than 80,000 catties, otherwise it is easy to be overturned by the waves. The old man urged again and again.

One old and one young, fought in this bright morning light, constantly casting hooks. This time they learned to be obedient, and they didn't leave it for a long time, and most of them pulled up immediately after biting the hairtail, plus they used the noose at the stern, so it was not very difficult to lift it.

"The hook net given by the chief soldier is easy to use! It saves effort. The old man couldn't help but praise the hook designed by the Academy of Science and Technology again.

The grandfather and grandson were busy from morning to dusk, and the number of hairtail fish they picked up far exceeded expectations, and it seemed that it was more than forty or fifty thousand catties.

Exhausted, the grandfather and grandson drove the boat back to the port, and when they returned to the port, the sky had completely darkened, but the fish market in Qingdao port was still lively.

Many fishermen are moving seafood to the docks, and some traders are picking seafood and haggling from time to time.

Immediately afterwards, two tax collectors came forward to greet them, and the old man saw them and hurriedly invited the two tax collectors to the boat to check on them. The tax officer was not too surprised to see that the grandfather and grandson had caught so many hairtails. Today's fish flood is coming, and many fishermen have caught tens of thousands of catties.

The tax collector directs the workers on the wharf to come and carry the fish, and after the workers remove the fish from the wharf, they begin to weigh them.

"Fifty-three thousand two hundred catties, the amount payable is forty-two thousand five hundred and sixty catties, and there are ten thousand six hundred and fourteen catties left, and these hairtail fish are three cents per catty, which is ......" The tax officer took the real abacus and calculated with a crackle, "Thirty-one two hundred and nine dollars and two cents of silver!" ”

"Thirty-one taels!" Both grandparents and grandchildren were stunned by the income of this day, they never thought that they could earn thirty-one taels of silver in one day.

However, the purchase price of this hairtail fish is extremely low, only 3 copper plates per catty, and 20 copper plates per catty of pork.

In fact, the price of hairtail fish has reached more than 30 copper plates per catty on the market, mainly because the fishery is not developed enough, and the fishery in many places is affected by the sea ban.

The seafood is first collected by the tax collector, and then processed and sold locally in Qingdao Port.

After receiving the silver taels, the grandfather and grandson were a little unbelievable! He earned more than 30 taels in one day, which was much higher than the income of being a soldier.

As soon as the seafood arrived, it was sent to a nearby processing station, where more than 3,000 women were still busy killing fish.

Some of these seafood are killed and then salted, and some are sold directly to merchants who come to Qingdao Port.
