"Would you like to be a teacher here?"

When she said this, a summer breeze from the tropical ocean blew, and the wisps blew on Xu Jing's face, which made her realize that her face was a little feverish, and only then did she remember that she had walked side by side with Xu Wenshan for a long time, and this was the first time they looked at each other.

Xu Wenshan actually didn't understand how he could make recruiting a teacher look like a confession.

The main thing is that there are too few literate people, and he is now hungry for talent.

Brick kilns, canals, cement factories, wineries, schools, these projects he started at the same time, for the deployment of manpower and material resources is no less difficult than a modern medium-sized enterprises, and the management of only four or five people in the center.

Investment in education seems to be the least rewarding at the moment, but it is the most necessary.

In Xu Wenshan's view, Xu Jing is the best candidate to be a teacher.

"Would you like to be a teacher here?"

For a moment, Xu Jing felt that she was dreaming.

But fortunately she came to her senses at once: she took two steps back, shook her head vigilantly, and said:

"No...... No. ”

"Huh?"

"No, no."

Xu Jing came back to her senses, and sure enough, she couldn't let Xu Wenshan, the little thief, speak, as soon as she heard him, she would easily be bypassed. I was almost fooled again just now, but fortunately, I was sober in time.

Looking at Xu Wenshan's dejected back, Xu Jing quietly breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest gently.

……

"Ah, Nest, Goose, Yi, House, Fish......"

At night, a crisp sound comes from the candle-lit room.

It was a cramped room, and in the center of the room was a homemade "small blackboard", on which were written in charcoal a few Chinese pinyin, and a passage marked with pinyin:

"I am from Luhegou, and I love my village."

Lu Ze held a booklet and kept reciting sentences, next to Lei Laohu and Li Dazhuang were shaking, Ah Fa yawned for a long time, and Wu Yi was already in a fugue.

And Xu Wenshan squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, his heart full of despair.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jing actually rejected herself.

Could it be that you are training yourself...... No, isn't it completely transformed? Or was the conditions she provided to her too good, which made her have the idea of gnawing at the old and eating big households?

The first time Xu Jing rejected Xu Wenshan, what he thought of was to go home and ask his parents to cut off her food and daily necessities, but Xu Jing lived in her house for half a month, and she had become the daughter-in-law of her mother and several aunts, saying that she would not let Xu Wenshan drive her away.

So Xu Jing still lives in Xu's mansion, eating fragrant and drinking spicy food, and he is helpless.

This inexplicable room is the "night literacy class" run by Xu Wenshan himself.

The so-called "night literacy class" is naturally a copy of the "night school literacy class" in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Work during the day and spend two or three hours reading after dinner.

Under the premise of the shortage of human resources, there are naturally very few people in this class at present, only he Lu Ze, Ah Fa, and three squad leaders.

Only Lu Ze was chosen because among the monsters under his command, the IQ of the second dog was not suitable for learning anything at all, the earth dragon wine insect was not human, and Saya couldn't even speak clearly, let alone be literate, so only one Lu Ze was a material that could be made.

Ah Fa needless to mention, he is already the appointed Minister of Propaganda. The other three squad leaders were chosen to realize Xu Wenshan's dream of modernizing the army - if the non-commissioned officers can't even read the rules and regulations, what else is there to talk about modernization?

Therefore, there is this semi-compulsory "night literacy class", which is naturally very bad, and the teachers and students are miserable.

After returning to the village, Xu Wenshan not only did not reduce his military investment, but the training intensity of the three classes also increased, and Xu Wenshan also planned to recruit a few more people to come in. The training tasks of the three squad leaders during the day are very heavy, and they naturally can't study hard at night;

Due to racial reasons (no racial discrimination, don't sit in the right seat), Lu Ze is born with a lack of absorption of human knowledge - this is like letting a dolphin learn human language, no matter how high the IQ is, there is no way for the brain to have no language division.

So Lu Ze is still learning pinyin for three days, and it is limited to 6 finals.

This is the reason why Xu Wenshan hugged his head and squatted to defend.

But even so, he had to bite the bullet and get the class going.

Li Qing and Xiaocui, the two literate ones, have been broken in half by him alone, fortunately, most of the people in this era are more difficult and simple, these days are finally down, but it is also thrilling - many times some projects are not expected to arrive, or there is no one to send the material, the efficiency of the workers' work has begun to decrease, if this gap can not be filled, the prestige that they have built up between these two villages is afraid to be over.

According to his preliminary estimate of Luhegou's current population, the current literacy rate here does not exceed 3 percent. Either way, he felt that the ratio was a bit too low. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a literacy rate of nearly 20 percent, and it is a miracle that such a low literacy rate can maintain the operation of the country.

Of course, the low literacy rate has something to do with the rampant monsters, but Xu Wenshan believes that this is not the main reason.

He has traveled to this world for three years, and the monsters he has seen are basically harmless to humans and animals, except for the two dogs, and Saya is a well-behaved monster who will go to the street to buy oil (although the money she buys oil is all stolen), I really can't figure out how it can have such a big impact on the cultural level of this world.

Later, Xu Wenshan realized that the biggest reason for the low literacy rate in this world may not be monsters, but Daomen.

Although the Dao Gate of this world is high, it is not untouchable. Immortal fate can be met or sought - the Dao Gate is there, if you want immortal fate, then go.

And the most face-saving person in this world is naturally not an official, but a Taoist priest. When the officials saw the Taoist priest, they were automatically a head shorter, and the Daomen of this world were not completely isolated from the world, they also needed a lot of materials and medicinal herbs, and slowly, an industry was formed around the Daomen.

used to take the imperial examination, but now they all want to cultivate immortals. And the most basic thing in cultivating immortals is literacy, if you are illiterate, you can't even read the scriptures. Therefore, those who have spare power in this world to train the next generation are committed to sending their children to the Daomen, not to be sent to become officials.

Therefore, if these immortal cultivators are counted, the literacy rate in this world should still be high. It's just that after these literate people became immortals, they did not work or produce, and looked down on mortals.

Even those who did not become immortals did not return to society in the end, but became all kinds of outer disciples, and became the bottom end of the chain of interests of the Daomen, serving the Daomen and not benefiting the society.

This is equivalent to the society using all its strength to cultivate a big man, and ruining the literacy rate in vain (from Xu Wenshan's point of view).

"Xu Wenshan, Xu Wenshan? Xu Wenshan! ”

Xu Wenshan came back to his senses, and Lu Ze was calling him.

"I'm done."

"Done?" Xu Wenshan replied without any spirit, "What time is it?" Belch...... It's time. ”

The leaky pot in the room has "leaked the initial quietness of the people". Li Dazhuang said: "Chief, we should go back, there will be training tomorrow." ”

Xu Wenshan touched his head, got up and stretched, and Lu Ze suddenly said, "It's time." ”

“？”

"It's time to collect slaves." Luzawa said.

Seeing that Xu Wenshan still didn't understand, Lu Ze added: "20 days ago, you told me that in 20 days, you will be reminded to go to Shaxian County to collect slaves...... Now exactly 20 days have passed. ”

Xu Wenshan suddenly remembered: "Yes, isn't there a way to supplement the human and literate population?" ”

He happily sexually harassed Lu Ze, touched Lu Ze's head and said, "This is unlucky...... No, this is a sincere baby. ”
