Chapter 182: Suddenly
Of course, Ning Qi's unscrupulous cowhide is impossible to be exposed, and at this time, no one in the Ming Dynasty knows what the situation is in North America, which is thousands of miles away, even if he includes all South America, it doesn't matter. Li Nai, who didn't know the truth, could only face the map and sigh at the strength of the Haihan Kingdom: "Your country's territory is so vast, and its national strength must be at its peak, no wonder you can create so many exquisite things!"
Ning Qi just smiled, neither denying nor acknowledging Li Nai's speculation. The territory of Haihan in the future will definitely be very vast, but it is still far from being close to the heyday, at best, it can be a soil overlord in Sanya, a place far away from the emperor of the mountain.
Next, Ning Qi took two guests to visit several more classes, and also audited half of the general knowledge class. After coming out of the classroom, Li Nai began to express his feelings: "It is a blessing for the local people that you have built a Mongolian school to teach and educate people in Shengli Port. It's just that the course you teach, I really can't agree with it. After looking at it for half a day, there was no gentleman who taught the Four Books and the Five Classics, and all the lectures were mathematics and common sense. If it is inconvenient for you to buy books, I am willing to buy some from Guangzhou and give them to your primary school. ”
Ning Qi first thanked Li Nai for his kindness, and then explained: "The purpose of our primary school is not to cultivate talents, people, and scholars here, but to teach these children to read and write, and let them master the methods of learning. In this way, in the future of their lives, they can slowly learn all kinds of knowledge that we brought from Haihan. ”
Li Nai was puzzled: "Why don't you study the various works of the sages? Mr. Ning looks down on me?"
Ning Qi shook his head and said, "I don't have such thoughts. The things that Daming scholars learn are not the same as our Haihan, you pay more attention to spiritual things, while we value practical value. ”
"Governing the country and leveling the world, don't we all rely on the doctrine of the sages?" Li Nai argued.
"Mr. Li, to govern the country and level the world, it is not enough to rely on political doctrine, which dynasty have you ever seen that relied on one mouth and one book to ascend to power? Military strength is indispensable!" Although Ning Qi is also an intellectual, he is not the style of a civil official in the Ming Dynasty, and he only wants to suppress the military attache system, and he is very clear about the importance of military power to maintain political power: "If you learn the Four Books and the Five Classics, you can't make guns or cannons, but you can learn the knowledge of our Haihan." The work that these students will do in the future is not something that they can do by taking a meritorious service examination in the imperial court, and we do not want them to spend their time and energy on obtaining meritorious fame. ”
Through the current situation of the group, it is destined that the training goal of the education system is to focus on practical skilled workers, and as for some majors in the direction of liberal arts, even if Ning Qi is not willing to give up, he can only obey the needs of the group first. At present, there are not enough teachers in the cultural and educational system to teach reading and writing, so how can there be any effort to teach the Four Books and the Five Classics? If Ning Qi dares to put forward this bill at the executive committee, he will definitely be sprayed with blood by the industrialists.
Li Nai opened his mouth wide, and he didn't know how to refute Ning Qi's "fallacy" for a while. It's the first time he's heard that studying isn't for fame, which simply subverts the values he has formed for more than 20 years of life.
Ning Qi shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, I don't say this to make you accept my point of view, I just want you to know that what we are doing here has our own considerations. For these children, the fact that they can get a free education here is in itself a good thing, you can't deny it, right?"
Li Nai nodded, agreeing with Ning Qi's statement. Although there are also schools in the Ming Dynasty, they are often backed by local clans providing financial support, and the enrollment targets are mainly for the children of their own families, which are not as eclectic as the primary schools run by the Haihan people, and even the children of the Li and Miao clans are also accepted. If you really want to look at what Confucius said, Li Nai must admit that the Haihan people are undoubtedly doing better than the educational institutions of the Ming Dynasty.
Ning Qi then said: "Which education system is better, I won't argue with you, time will help us divide the superior ......"
At this moment, the phone on Ning Qi's body rang. When Ning Qi found out and saw that it was the office number of the executive committee, he thought to himself, could it be that the Yanma was making too much trouble, and the brothers who stayed in the office couldn't hold it anymore?
Li He and the others have seen many Haihan people use this strange little black box to make air calls in the past few days, and at first they thought it was a spell of the Haihan people, but after explanation, they learned that this is some kind of communication tool that they can't understand, even if they are miles away, they can also make air calls. Of course, Li Nai's attempt to buy a phone was not surprisingly rejected.
What was a little unexpected for Ning Qi was that the call from the executive committee was not to ask him to go back to help him fight, but to inform him that there was a warning from the meteorological department that there might be a short-term tropical storm passing through today and tomorrow, and Shengli Port Primary School needed to immediately suspend classes and place all the students in the barracks in Base 1 first.
There are no real meteorological majors in the meteorological department of the group, but the college graduates of marine, agriculture, information engineering and other majors have learned some relevant knowledge in school, and they have formed a weather forecasting team in a patchwork manner, and the old expert Yuan Ruoxiu of the Ministry of Agriculture serves as a consultant, and Yue Zhiyun of the Ministry of Shipping usually serves as the team leader.
At present, Hainan is in the rainy season, but the rain here often comes and goes quickly, and there is even a magical saying that "the cow's head rains and the ox's tail is dry". Ning Qi was not too nervous after answering the phone, first notified his colleagues to start organizing the assembly of students in each class, and then explained to Li He and his wife that the weather might deteriorate immediately, and the visit might have to be temporarily suspended.
Li Nai also expressed his understanding of this, since the Haihan people deduced that there would be a storm and rain soon, and they would evacuate the school, then as a guest, it was best to obey the arrangement.
Although Victory Harbor Elementary School does not have a militarized management like the Scouts, it is still a regular practice for elementary training such as group assembly, so the students quickly retreated to the playground and formed a queue in class according to the teacher's instructions. Several teachers quickly put away the teaching aids and teaching materials, and then directed the students to set off in two columns. Li Nai was amazed after reading it, and felt that the Haihan people really implemented the word "rules" into all aspects of their lives, and even organized students to take refuge in such an orderly manner.
Shengli Harbor Primary School is very close to the north gate of Base No. 1, only half a mile away, and it is a quick walk. The children, however, did not feel at all frustrated by the refuge, but seemed excited, most of them had never entered the fortress where the Gentlemen of Haihan lived, and it was a great blessing for them to have the opportunity to enter this place.
The students were accommodated in one of the few prefabricated houses that had been vacated, and although they were a little crowded, the children of this age obviously had no complaints about it, and they were full of curiosity about everything in the area, including the strange prefabricated house itself. Li Nai and He Qiang were also taken back to the accommodation arranged for them, and Ning Qi also specially told them not to wander around, so as not to cause trouble.
After doing these things, Ning Qi returned to the Executive Committee and began to assist the relevant departments in disaster prevention work. Production units offshore have taken immediate shutdown measures and are already evacuating workers. The locals who lived in some of the simple huts were also organized to settle into more sturdy wooden huts. All the boats were notified to return to port for shelter, and the docks began to be held together with ropes to resist the high winds and waves that might occur.
It was not until noon that Ning Qi finally had time to ask the people of the weather forecast team about the situation. The person in charge, Yue Zhiyun, is very optimistic about the future changes in weather conditions: "We can only judge that there will be a tropical storm now, but there is no way to make a more accurate estimate of the intensity, duration and possible direction of travel, alas, it would be nice if there were satellite cloud images!"
Ning Qi smiled: "Don't dream, seriously, how severe will this tropical storm be?"
"It's light or heavy!" Yue Zhiyun frowned and said: "Maybe it's a heavy rain, half an hour will pass, but maybe it will turn into a typhoon, and directly blow Shengli Port into ruins!"
Ning Qi was taken aback and said, "Is the situation really so strict?"
Yue Zhiyun shook his head and said: "Let's do our best, all we can do now is pray, I hope God doesn't play too much with us!"
After lunch, the previously clear sky quickly turned cloudy, and the seabirds that usually hovered in the harbor were gone. Several construction sites, shipyards, carpentry shops and other places in Shengli Port have been suspended, and the once bustling port area has become silent, and only the sound of waves crashing against the pier embankment can be heard. However, the scene in Base 1 is in full swing, and the laborers are constantly reinforcing the buildings in the base with ropes, wooden stakes and other tools under the command of the crossing people.
The weather forecasting team has been keeping watch at the wall, reporting changes in wind speed and pressure to the Executive Committee, and then the relevant personnel calculate the possible storm intensity on the computer.
Soon a gust of wind blew from the southern sea, causing several small sailing ships of small tonnage to shake from side to side in the harbor. Yue Zhiyun looked at the anemometer in his hand and said loudly into the walkie-talkie: "At present, the wind speed has exceeded ten meters per second, and it looks like there is an upward trend...... It's fifteen meters!"
Tao Donglai ordered loudly on the other end of the walkie-talkie: "For the sake of safety, the weather observation team will immediately withdraw indoors!"
