72. "Military Training"
This time, the source power pool expansion is similar to the previous one, which is about one-third, but because his source power pool has already grown once, the source power he gets this time is actually more.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Wende.
However, in contrast, what is more important is that this time the expansion of the source power pool is completely the result of Wen De's hard work, and it is not as inexplicable as the last time - he planned to improve Chu Yunxiu's prestige and help her establish a sect - and then this act gave Wen De a reward.
This not only proves that Winder's efforts are in the right direction, but also proves that the "surrogate" approach is also feasible.
Compared with the expansion of the source power pool, it can confirm the correctness of these two points, and even makes Wende even happier.
He had an unprecedented night's fun, which not only made familiar people a little baffled, but also delayed some business a little.
It should have been announced on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, but it was dragged by Wende until the next morning, and the group of children who didn't sleep well because of excitement suffered because of this.
Early in the morning, they were pulled out of the warm bed by the instructors one by one. Reluctantly, one of them fell out of bed because of fright, if it weren't for the instructors' good martial arts, they would have reacted quickly...... I'm afraid that kid will have to see some injuries.
- The disciples' dormitories were set up by Wende as a room for four people, but the sleeping place was not a common bunk in this era, but a bunk bed created by Wende himself.
This not only allows the children to sleep more peacefully, but also saves space.
In the rest of the place, a large table can be set up for the disciples to study, as well as a small cabinet for each person to put some personal belongings.
The bunk bed was well received by everyone, and Ma Qianliang and Zhang Yu even asked Wende privately: Do you mind if they pass on the style of this bed back to the sect.
Only then did Wende realize the business opportunity, and when he wanted to make amends, he found out...... Some carpenter's shops in Chang'an City have already placed samples of bunk beds......
In this era, there is no such thing as intellectual property rights, and it is even more funny to talk about patents.
In addition, Wende did not realize this at first, and did not force the carpenter to keep it a secret...... In the end, I had to pinch my nose and admit it.
Seeing the children shivering like quails in the cold wind in the cold clothes issued by the door, Winder finally held back a laugh and made his expression serious.
The most important significance of these disciples to Wende is, of course, to provide valid data as samples.
But given that they are all living people, Wende can't treat them as "disposable" items. In addition, if you are a teacher for the first time, you will have some problems with being a good teacher more or less...... There are some ideas that can't be misunderstood.
Of course, from an intellectual point of view, it is also advantageous to conduct an "elite education" for these disciples.
In the short term, the success of this group of first batch of disciples greatly increased the prestige of the Cloud Pavilion; In the long run, these children whose thoughts and three views have not yet been shaped are educated by Wende, and they are the group of people in the world who can better agree with his ideas.
Therefore, whether it is affection or reason, Wende has shown 100% "sincerity", and in the expectant eyes of the children, Chu Yunxiu announced on the spot instead of Wende: After entering the sect, the first homework of the disciples is to participate in professional training for at least half a month!
The children below were a little confused, but they can't be blamed.
Because the term was "invented" by Winder, it was purely to replace the potentially misleading term "military training".
The intention is also very clear: at present, except for a small number of disciples who have attended the academy and can be regarded as experiencing group life, most of them have not spent a long time with their peers.
Considering that the duration of their studies is likely to be calculated in 10 years, this aspect of training should not be taken lightly.
At the same time, military training is also very helpful for the cultivation of discipline and obedience, and it can polish out the squeamishness of some children because of their good family background.
Last night, Chu Yunxiu had already made some basic arrangements and divided the disciples into classes according to their age.
Kindergarten from 10 to 12 years old, and kindergarten from 12 to 14 years old. The three disciples over the age of fourteen temporarily followed the large class, and Zhang Da's children Zhang Huajian and Zhang Huaying, and Zhang Liang's son Zhang Minghua also joined different classes according to their respective ages. (Note: The child's name was given by Winder.) οΌ
At this time, the seventy-eight disciples were barely divided into two groups, but it was absolutely impossible to say that there was any formation.
Standing on the "podium" specially set up in the playground, Chu Yunxiu didn't mind seeing this scene.
She had been prepared for this situation for a long time, and before that, she had not only studied and read the military training materials provided by Wende, but also experienced it personally with several other people.
At this time, they nodded slightly, and some instructors stood up.
There were eight of them, all of whom were selected from the old department of Chu Yunhe. Compared with the other brothers, they are either more patient in character or delicate, and theoretically more suitable for the work of "teachers".
Chu Yunxiu talked to them one by one, and after obtaining their consent, he selected them as instructors.
In fact, there was no rejection at all, although theoretically speaking, serving as an instructor would delay these people's own cultivation somewhat.
But they were originally the brothers of Chu Yunhe's friends of life and death, and they had a considerable sense of identity with Chu Yunxiu; After arriving in Chang'an, Chu Yunxiu fulfilled his promise and taught them the nine changes of Yunxiao without concealment, which further won their gratitude and loyalty.
Coupled with the grass creation of the sect, the manpower is relatively insufficient, and almost everyone with some ability wears many hats, and they only hate to lack skills.
At this time, as long as you are smarter, you know what to do; And even if you can't think about it for a while, others will remind you.
- In their relationship, these words can be said bluntly and explicitly.
The eight instructors were dressed in special suits - black with red edges, waist with sleeves, standing collars, and embroidered with the two artistic characters "Yunxiao" on their chests, which were good in shape and very hands-on (which is very important)βand lined up on the podium.
They looked solemn and straight, even though they didn't speak, but with their momentum alone, they quickly quieted down the children in the audience.
Some of the disciples were a little nervous, but there were also some who looked at the instructor with envy.
Then the instructor took the class as the main body, and after breakfast, he began the content of the first day of military training.
First of all, it was a queue, which did not go smoothly. As mentioned above, most of these disciples have never experienced collective life. It is not so easy to let them form a four-line team on their own according to their height.
According to the plan, the instructor first let them toss around in a mess for a while, but there was no result. Only then did he shake his head and pull them to arrange positions one by one.
Once the queue is finally formed, it is natural for them to remember their position and learn how to communicate with the instructor - that is, to say "yes" when they are given orders, to raise their hands when they have questions, to speak only when they are allowed to speak, and so on.
Wait until most of the children understand it, and then learn the basic "upright" posture.
It took an hour to go back and forth, and when the instructor asked the children to sit down and rest, they began to introduce themselves in front of everyone one by one in order.
This is something new to most children, and it does take some courage to speak up in public. Therefore, even if there is an instructor who demonstrates the format, most of the disciples do not do it very well.
But it still makes sense.
If nothing happens, these children will be living with their peers for nearly a decade or more. There is no doubt that the relationship between brothers and sisters will become a very important interpersonal relationship in their lives. It is undoubtedly a good thing to let them get acquainted with it as soon as possible, so that there will be no estrangement and contradictions.
At the same time, this is also to allow the instructor to be familiar with his disciples, although they have already gotten the list, but it is not as systematic as Wende and Chu Yunxiu, and they can check the name of each student at any time, so how to match the name with the specific image is also a must.
By the time the last disciple had finished introducing himself, it was almost noon, and it was time for lunch.
Lunch is also served at the restaurant, but compared to breakfast, there is a queue to pick it up.
The meals served in the restaurant are quite good, and now that the chicken coop is able to produce steadily, Wende can ensure that each child gets an egg and a corresponding amount of meat. At the same time, the staple food of rice is also mixed with precious rice with better energy.
Coupled with Wende's improvement of the dishes, as well as the "appearance" of more seasonings, in general, the color and flavor are complete, and most of these disciples' family backgrounds say that they still can't help but salivate and mess up the team.
And then...... The unlucky ghosts who came out first were all caught at the end of the line by the instructor who had been staring at them according to the plan......
After lunch, there will be a little rest until the training session resumes. It is to study the content of military training, and at the same time, during the break, listen to the instructor talk about some life regulations.
For example, sleep time, range of motion, maintaining self-hygiene, and what the sect prescribes.
This will not be all said at once, and the scene will be over, but one by one, and the children must remember it without asking for progress.
After reassembling after dinner, the instructor announced that today's training had come to an end, and at the same time, he laid out the last night of the day: each dormitory elected a dormitory leader, and wrote down the rules of the day's teaching, and random inspections would be carried out every day.
The children can then rest and play β if they still have the energy.
But the instructors were not idle, and when the teaching was over, they would gather in front of Chu Yunxiu and exchange the experience of the day, what unexpected problems they encountered, and actually better ideas.
Generally speaking, it is quite "democratic", and the only fly in the ointment is that the decision power has been firmly pressed in Chu Yunxiu's hands under Wende's suggestion.
- Even himself, in front of others, will do the same, and also emphasize ensuring the authority of the "head".
Finally, at night, the instructor checks each dormitory to make sure that the students are asleep and that nothing is missing.
By the next day...... When I got up early in the morning, the first gathering, sure enough, there were almost half of the disciples, because there was no record of the queue position or regulations......
Started a "pleasant" lap running activity.
