Donner spoke a lot, but it was not known how much the inhabitants below would be able to listen.

Contradictions are not formed in a day, nor can they be completely eliminated in a day, and no matter how fanciful Downer says, residents cannot see the actual effect, and it is useless.

Downer certainly has power in his hands and has armed forces, and he can force down even if there is any opposition from the residents. But what's the use, he doesn't want to do it, and he can't do it.

Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, as evidenced by countless bloody lessons in history.

In fact, for the residents at the bottom, the requirements are very simple, whoever is really good to them, they will follow.

Donner said above, although the residents below did not express their positions, but they were all listening carefully, whether true or false, sincere words can always move people's hearts.

Dan Er poured Donner a glass of water, he drank it all in one go, put down the glass of water in his hand, Donner continued: "Today, that's all, I hope everyone will go back and think about it, is this the truth, okay!"

Many of the residents nodded, and Donner was ready to let them go back first.

"Oh, yes, there's one more thing. Suddenly Donner thought of something: "There are so many children on Cancer Island who have not come to read and write, I hope that everyone can go back and talk to your neighbors to persuade them, and it is not a bad thing for children to read and write." ”

"Reading and literacy can understand the truth and grasp the truth. If you look at those nobles on the mainland, a large part of the reason why they are nobles is that they have knowledge. If they look at the craftsmen around them, great craftsmen will always know a lot more than ordinary craftsmen, right?"

"When children come to read and write, read more, and master the truth and knowledge, they can change their fate, not to mention that children can read and eat here, and they can also save food for their families, isn't it?"

At present, there are more than 70 children who come to study and attend classes, plus the original children on Crescent Island, and more than half of the children on Cancer Island have not come to read and write.

Downer did a lot of propaganda about this, but the results were not satisfactory, and few residents were willing to send their children to class.

In their eyes, half-grown children can already help the family with a lot of housework and labor, and what is the use of reading and writing, it is a waste of time.

Not to mention the children of these residents, even these residents are so ignorant.

In the daily work, the residents in the sub-class groups have literacy education, but according to the feedback of the teachers arranged by Donner, these literacy work is often very passive, few people are willing to learn, and it is basically perfunctory.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a mandatory task, and that there was food to lure them, most of the inhabitants would not have been interested at all, and they would have listened to the teachers after a tiring day.

Donner didn't have a good idea, he couldn't put a knife on the neck of the residents and let them and the children read and read seriously.

Reading and literacy is a slow thing to achieve, and he only hopes that through publicity, he will set up a few more typical examples in the future, so that the residents can slowly wake up, and only reading can change their fate.

The natives of Cancer Island nodded in agreement, and Donner didn't say anything more, letting them go back on their own, while the children continued to stay here for classes.

Donner thought about something and didn't speak for a while, which made the students below sit at their desks very nervous, and they didn't dare to make a sound, thinking that the teacher was angry and trying to find a way to punish them.

It took a long time for Donner to come back to his senses, and he looked at the group of students sitting precariously below, and burst out laughing.

Donner opened the book on the podium, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, you know you're wrong?"

The children, you look at me, I look at you, they don't dare to speak, especially the culprits Dick and Blue, both of whom are nervous.

One is afraid that the teacher will beat him, and the other is afraid that the teacher will kick him out of the classroom, and he will never be able to read and write with Gina from now on.

"Okay, don't worry, the teacher won't punish you anymore. Donner said angrily and funny, "It's normal to fight when you are a child, and the teacher also fought when he was a child, but in the future, you must remember that classmates must always learn to help each other, instead of doing it for the slightest conflict, if the matter can't be solved, you can tell the teacher, the teacher will help you, do you know?"

"Got it!" replied the children.

Donner nodded: "Okay, the teacher has been busy lately, and he hasn't taught you in person for a long time, so the teacher will teach you today." ”

"Dan. Donner called out to his assistant, "Send this to the kids." ”

Donner pointed to the paper on the podium, with a quill pen and ink in a porcelain bottle.

These things were prepared by Donner in the past two days, and he had asked Dan Er to bring someone to move them over.

Children have always used sand tables to write, but now they can finally use paper and pen.

Donner, like Dan, distributed paper, pen and ink to the children. There are not many pieces of paper, twenty sheets per person, and the quill pen is made on the island itself, which is relatively simple, but the ink is made by the alchemist Yuri himself.

The students were amazed by the novelty and thought they had gotten some good toy.

Donner returned to the podium, cleared his throat and said: "These things, I believe most people know, are used for writing, and the teacher usually uses these things to write, and you will be the same in the future, and the sand table will no longer be needed." ”

"Everyone looked at me and saw how the teacher took the pen, dotted the ink, and wrote. "The child has not been exposed to these things and may not be able to use them, and Donner has to explain it.

Fortunately, the use method is relatively simple, and the child's receptivity is also good.

"Be careful not to get it in your eyes, you know?" Downer taught.

The students nodded their heads and said they understood, and Donner flipped through the textbook and said, "Then let's start with the next lesson." ”

At present, there are only two courses for children to learn, one is Chinese and the other is arithmetic.

The two simple textbooks are written by Donner, and the Chinese is relatively simple at this stage, mainly teaching children to recognize everyday words, word formation and simple sentence formation.

Arithmetic is to learn Arabic numerals, get in touch with addition and subtraction operations within 100, and recognize some simple geometric patterns.

The youngest of these students was only seven years old and the oldest was sixteen.

The comprehension ability of the younger age is relatively poor, while the receptivity of the older age is very strong, which causes great confusion in teaching.

Downer also considered starting to implement class division, but the time was not very ripe, so he delayed it.

At the end of the lesson, Donner was ready to leave the class, but Gina took the children to pester Donner to tell stories.

Looking at the children's eager eyes, Donner smiled and said, "That's it, don't tell a story today, the teacher will teach you to sing, okay!"

"This song is called Friendship Lasts Forever, and the teacher hopes that you can be like in the song in the future, and the friendship will last forever. ”

"Come, you listen to the teacher sing twice, and then slowly follow the teacher. ”

"How can you not think about old friends in the past, and ...... in your heart"

The singing is very beautiful, and it seems that it has traveled through time and came to the Oriental Territory - Pearl City many years later.

The city has been hailed by countless troubadours as the most dazzling pearl of the Eastern Continent of Shengguang, and its central fountain square gathers troubadours, mercenaries, merchants, craftsmen, and scholars from all over the world every day, regardless of territory or race, around the fountain to sing friendship for eternity.
