Chapter 0427 - Spreading Knowledge
The time gradually came to the middle of May 1617, and Sun Yuanhua had been in Tianjin for almost a month. Although the collective farm was not far from the city, and although there were more and more buses and carriages in Tianjin, the traffic was becoming more and more convenient, although he himself felt that this matter had been delayed for too long, but he never had time to go.
The reason is very simple, Xu Guangqi asked Sun Yuanhua to collect anti-thief secret techniques, but there are too many anti-thief secret techniques.
The 'Revolutionary Army' pursues the idea of running a school with an open door, and there is too much knowledge worth learning in the school - Zhou Qingfeng does not care about the dissemination of some basic knowledge. For example, elementary school level Chinese, mathematics, history, geography, astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, these simple common sense things are not deliberately hidden. It's easy to get on the market.
The problem of the Ming court was not technological backwardness at all, but a political imbalance of power. The huge national power has not been used in a centralized manner, and the power of the grassroots gentry is too great. After the traversers of the 'Revolutionary Army' came to this world, they quickly understood that the Ming Dynasty could not save itself by relying on technology. If the latter wants to survive, he must first kill all the high-level people within himself, which is equivalent to suicide.
Zhou Qingfeng said very clearly, "The truly stubborn enemy will not come to learn from us, and those who will learn from us are useful talents who can be won over." The necessary diffusion of knowledge will not pose much of a threat to us, but will be conducive to our future rule.
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Even if there are a small number of reactionary people who steal from school, many more will be converted. Everyone is Chinese, the meat is rotten in the pot, and sooner or later they will be used by me one day. ”
Because of this, after Xu Guangqi became interested in the knowledge of 'anti-thief', Sun Yuanhua shouldered the order of the division to break into the 'revolutionary army' and run to steal the teacher. He was able to easily sign up for a primary school in Tianjin to get free education, and he could eat two good meals of fish and meat a day.
Primary schools are still divided into six years, but they are divided into junior primary and upper primary schools in terms of academic qualifications. Elementary school education is knowledge up to the third grade of elementary school.
Although the level of teachers in the 'Revolutionary Army' is uneven, and most teachers can only read from the textbook, Sun Yuan's chemistry is really too simple. It only took him five days to flip through a few books on Chinese, mathematics, and nature, and then happily ran to the exam.
The 'Revolutionary Army' stipulates that if you want to learn upper and primary knowledge, you must obtain a primary diploma. In addition to being a little awkward in the use of simplified Chinese characters and pinyin, Sun Yuanhua was stunned to memorize the textbook by relying on his erudition and strong memorization, and easily passed the exam. Then he applied for admission to the intermediate class.
Anyone who can quickly pass the primary diploma exam will be reported to the Ministry of Education of the 'Revolutionary Army' for the record, not to mention someone like Sun Yuanhua, who is monitored by the Ministry of Security. Knowing that this old man was so eager to learn, Zhou Qingfeng directly ordered: "Give him more weight, don't make him too easy." He was asked to train ten junior graduates before he was allowed to attend the intermediate class. ”
......, because he was too happy, Sun Yuanhua's application was conditional. He was stunned for a long time after learning about this from the school, "You mean you want me to be a teacher in the school?" ”
That's right, if you are given a study that you eat and drink for nothing, you must not make some contribution to the people? Since you are good at learning, come and teach and educate people. It doesn't take much, it can teach ten people to get a primary diploma - the principal of the school is younger than Sun Yuanhua, but there is no accommodation in this regard. Who would dare to be accommodating under the order of the marshal?
Ten people, it doesn't seem like that's a lot.
Sun Yuanhua even immediately thought that he could take advantage of the loophole, "Can I choose my own students?" ”
Of course, we can teach without class, as long as we are willing to learn.
With the approval of the principal of the school, Sun Yuanhua immediately pondered - the junior primary education of this 'revolutionary army' is also quite meritorious. For example, using pinyin to assist in learning Chinese characters is more efficient than simply memorizing the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text". Mathematics is simple but useful.
Sun Yuanhua immediately wrote a letter to his teacher asking for help, wanting to arrange ten smart and clever schoolchildren to come to Tianjin, so that he could quickly and smoothly complete the task of stealing school - there are children who are good at learning. Xu Guangqi didn't think much about it, so he recruited some children from his side who were good at school and sent them over. He was even afraid that ten would not be enough, so he sent twenty to Sun Yuanhua.
Most of the children who were sent over were eleven or twelve years old, and they had a foundation in learning, and they were taught very quickly. Sun Yuanhua set up a class to teach the children to study, and at the same time he was allowed to get textbooks for secondary education, so that he could study on his own.
This is simply sending talent to the 'revolutionary army'.
These twenty children came with a lot of money and were accompanied by their families, and they all trembled when they arrived at the territory of the anti-thieves. But when he found out that the thief had three meals a day and meat every day, he suddenly became convinced. After learning that he studied well, excelled in exams, and had a lot of scholarships, the parents who accompanied him immediately hated to take out the whip and whip their children to study hard.
At this moment, Sun Yuanhua fully realized the tremendous power of spending 500,000 taels of silver a year to develop education. As soon as the children he 'selected' entered school, the Ministry of Education of the 'Revolutionary Army' immediately issued two sets of school uniforms to each of them - both of them were good clothes made of thick cotton, strong and warm. It's just that the color is a little dirty, and the 'Revolutionary Army' hasn't opened the dye tech tree yet.
There are clothes and food, breakfast, lunch and dinner, fish and meat, and the food is really more luxurious than the landlord's house. The 'revolutionary army' raided homes in the Gyeonggi area, and all the food they stole was used for food. deliberately let the people at the bottom take advantage of it, just to let them all eat well. After eating for half a month, students can make a few pounds. Many of the children's emaciated cheeks were visibly bulging, and the end of their studies was even more sufficient.
At this time, they are not happy to let these children go. Their parents even kept writing to their relatives and friends, encouraging them to come to Tianjin to take advantage of it – if nothing else, just eat more.
Because these children have a good foundation, Sun Yuanhua taught them for half a month, and they can basically pass the junior high school diploma exam. And he himself studied the intermediate class course for half a month, and even some knowledge points that are extremely difficult for ordinary children, such as the Primary School Olympiad, have been completely mastered.
Within the 'Revolutionary Army', the diploma of the upper primary class is basically the completion of the six-year primary school curriculum. After learning this knowledge, Sun Yuanhua no longer dared to despise the education of this 'revolutionary army'. Because there are many things in it, such as mathematics, either the content of "Principles of Geometry" that his teacher Xu Guangqi has just translated, or the mathematical methods that he has not even learned.
That's all most people need in their daily lives. And as far as this simple knowledge is concerned, the Ming court has never paid attention to it. The Ming court took the examination of the eight-strand text, and those things were useless in real life. However, the knowledge taught by the 'Revolutionary Army' can be used in real life, and if you learn these things, you will not be blind.
Now Sun Yuanhua remembered the sergeant he saw when he first entered the city, and he should be a person who had completed primary school education. And this kind of people within the 'revolutionary army' are not to say that there are tens of thousands, but there are always thousands.
"These are thousands of talents who can't chant poetry, but they are better than poetry." Sun Yuanhua felt that his knowledge should still be higher than that of the 'revolutionary army', a person who had completed primary education, but he always felt a sense of urgency of crisis, "There are thousands of talents to be enriched, no wonder this 'revolutionary army' does not look down on the original scholars at all, no wonder they dare to massacre the Ming gentry." ”
It turned out that the 'revolutionary army' had no fear, and even thought that the old forces were too in the way, so they wanted to kick it out and forget it, and they didn't want to carry their burdens. For a moment, Sun Yuanhua also hated to be like the 'revolutionary army' and killed all the moths in the DPRK and China with a sharp blade. But who exactly are you going to kill? As soon as he closed his eyes, he would think that almost all the people he was going to kill had something to do with him.
After finishing the primary school course, Sun Yuanhua did not take the corresponding diploma. Because he asked, the follow-up middle school courses can only be learned by going to Jinzhou University in Liaodong. So he simply continued to teach the students of the school patiently, and at the same time he discovered another treasure trove - the school library.
Zhou Qingfeng personally selected the books in the primary school library, and a large number of extracurricular reading materials can greatly expand students' horizons and stimulate their interest in learning. Sun Yuanhua's school was originally renovated from a temple in the city, and the library is located in two wings in the temple - it is an exaggeration to say that it is a library, but it is actually equivalent to a reading room.
But when he walked into this reading room, Sun Yuanhua immediately found a treasure - a map of China copied from the "Historical Atlas" hung on the wall. This map details the geographical location of the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding countries.
Seeing this thing, Sun Yuanhua was immediately stunned. The map was too detailed, more than any other map he'd ever seen. And it uses a scale on it, so you can see the distance between cities at a glance.
Sun Yuanhua was born in Shanghai in later generations, and after staring at it for a long time, he immediately found Jiangdong Gaoqiao Town in Songjiang Prefecture. When he really found such a place as his hometown, he was ecstatic. He found the capital, found Tianjin, and found places he had been to or had not been. For a while, it was really refreshing and joyful.
There was an illiterate old woman sitting in this reading room, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the people who were reading books, and no one was allowed to steal or destroy them. She has also seen a lot of Sun Yuanhua, who was staring at the map and was stunned. Basically, anyone who comes here to read a book will be stunned for a moment when they see this map.
"Old man, where did you get this map?" Sun Yuanhua had a little ghost thought, and politely asked the old woman who was guarding this place.
The old woman raised her head and said in the tone of looking at the soil buns: "This map was naturally sent by the marshal. ”
"Oh......, too, too." Sun Yuanhua lowered his voice again and asked, "This map is ......, can it be ......, can it be resold if it has a ......?" ”
"One hundred yuan a piece, sell as much as you want." The old woman said.
Sell it for a hundred dollars?
Sun Yuanhua suddenly trembled with excitement, and hurriedly took out money on his body. But a hundred silver dollars was not a small amount, and the weight was not light, and he only carried one or two dollars with him. The money was not enough, so he immediately said to the strong servant who followed him: "Go back and get the silver, take a hundred yuan." ”
The strong servant hurriedly asked in surprise: "One hundred silver dollars is enough to buy a concubine, master, you just sell such a piece of paper?" Is this thing better than the Spring Palace painting? ”
With a snap, Sun Yuanhua stretched out his hand and hit the servant's skull, "How can such a fine Kunyu map be compared to the Spring Palace painting?" This picture is too precious, a hundred silver dollars is really cheap. Let you go, go quickly, there is too much nonsense. ”
The strong servant said a few times, turned around and left.
Sun Yuanhua turned around, and saw the old woman staring at him coldly, so he hurriedly pretended to be stupid and said: "The next family is okay, and if you don't have the book of the saint, it's a miscellaneous." I've learned a lot about geography, so I just want a map like this, and it doesn't hurt to spend a little more money. Hehehe....... ”
The old woman stared at it for a long time, and suddenly said, "The old woman still has some books, maybe the gentleman likes it too." For example, "Agricultural Surveying", "Soil Fertilizer", "Iron Smelting Guide", "Refractory Brick Process", "Small Coal Kiln Opening Tips", "Soil Papermaking", "Chicken Farm Construction", "Animal Feed", "Wood Processing Technology" and so on, are all secrets to making a fortune.
These books are all cheats for the handsome to compete for the world without spreading them, and they are never shown on weekdays. Today, I have a relationship with Mr., all of them are 20 yuan a book, only 20 yuan a book. As long as you learn these cheats, you will be rich and rich, with a house full of wives and children and grandchildren.
If you buy them all, you can get another 20% discount. Sir, do you want to pick a few copies and buy them back? It's almost the end of the month, and I want to rush the performance. ”
Rush to the performance ......
Rush to the performance ......
Rush to the performance ......
Sun Yuanhua stood in place, dumbfounded, expressionless, not knowing what to say .......
