CHAPTER XLVI
Li Kuan never thought that he would come to Wang Jue here and hear such exciting news.
In the end, I could only leave in disgrace, not saying anything, and leaving silently.
Before leaving, I asked for Li Yan's foreign contact information by the way.
Although it was outrageous, Li Kuan wanted to contact Li Yan at this time.
Moreover, Li Kuan became more and more determined to make the shipyard bigger and stronger.
"At this time, there should be no one in Australia, as long as I can build an ocean-going ship, I can go there and dominate it."
"Such a big state, it's definitely enough for me to enjoy death."
And Li Kuan knows very well how good the first feudal country was.
Find a piece of land that no one wants, and wave your hands to the people under your command, 500 acres of land for each family, 300 acres of grassland, and then two cows, three sheep, a donkey, ten chickens, eight ducks, nine geese, and two horses.
As long as you plant and raise well, you will definitely be able to live well.
Li Kuan pondered that if he took hundreds of thousands of people to Australia, it would definitely be possible to play like this.
However, Li Kuan is thinking about it now, first of all, he doesn't know if Li Shimin has this heart, and secondly, he estimates that Li Shimin has this heart, and he will not do it until he kills the Turks and accumulates a wave of national strength, otherwise, he is afraid that the family will hollow out the Tang Dynasty, and then build a strong country outside, and turn around and swallow the empty Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Kuan couldn't help but complain in his heart that the best nation in the world is the Han nation, but the country with the best land is not the Central Plains.
If nothing else, take the black soil as an example, the black soil area of the Central Plains is 1.09 million square kilometers, and the area of Ukraine is 1.9 million.
You'll know how big the gap is.
Sometimes, the skills of growing grain are really forced to be pointed out.
The first thing Li Kuan did after returning to Chunzhou was to inspect the Lingnan Chunzhou School and check the children's education.
Looking at the descendants of Li Yan and the others in class, he nodded with satisfaction.
The teachers of the school were very surprised by Li Kuan's arrival.
However, Li Kuan was very dissatisfied after listening to a class, they had been enrolled for nearly half a year, how could they not have learned more than a hundred multiplication and division.
How come I have learned less than half of the Chinese textbook I wrote, this teaching progress is too difficult.
There are also their handicraft courses, farming courses, how can they learn so slowly, why can't they even understand Luban locks.
The students studied very seriously, and the teachers taught too slowly, Li Kuan said, how can I explain your situation to my father who is fighting outside.
For this reason, Li Kuan called a group of teachers to the office.
The four great Confucians introduced by Li Gang, and the five clan teachers found in the Li family came suspiciously, and they didn't know what Li Kuan was looking for.
Looking at the nine school teachers, Li Kuan hated the iron and opened his mouth: "Teachers, your teaching is too slow to enter the city, and why don't you take exams for students." ”
The four Confucians, and the five clan teachers from the Li family were all stunned, and the progress was slow?
Don't slow down, they have already been able to multiply and divide within a hundred, add and subtract within a thousand, do addition and subtraction problems, know certain farming skills, repair and forge tools, and some even know some medical skills, and have a good body.
It's only been half a year, and we all think that we are teaching too fast, which is a bit misleading.
The four Confucians and Li Kuan argued, and finally Li Kuan sighed helplessly: "If you think that this is the limit of your teaching speed, then it is better to test the skills of the students." ”
"A small test every month, a big test every three months, the test results are saved, and the exam ranking is also carried out."
"Can you promise me?"
The four great Confucians collectively frowned, if they hadn't really seen that Li Kuan was seriously engaged in education, they would have left a long time ago, but Li Kuan now let them do the exam rankings, they are a little unhappy, this thing will stimulate the self-esteem of students.
Li Kuan also saw their embarrassment, gritted his teeth and said, "But I need to explain to their parents,"
"At the same time, you have to leave them homework and let them go home and study and do it."
"I'll pay for the homework."
This is good, the four Confucians are happy.
Immediately, a great Confucian stood up and asked, "Those ordinary people's homework paper money?" ”
"I'm out." Li Kuan said without hesitation.
Beautiful, the four Confucians looked at each other and said in unison: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, isn't it just the exam, we take care of it, from cultural classes to math problems, to carpenter and blacksmith farming and medical skills, we will take all the exams." ”
After hearing that the carpenter and blacksmith also took the four exams, the corners of Li Kuan's mouth twitched, Made, you really know a lot.
Li Kuan did not think that Confucianism at this time was more Confucian and Mengru.
Confucius pays attention to benevolence, and Meng Confucianism emphasizes righteousness, and the combination of the two is the benevolence and righteousness of Confucianism.
At the same time, the Confucianism of the two also emphasizes self-reliance and learning.
Some Confucians like to study knowledge in the deep mountains and old forests all the year round, that is not with a group of attendants, but really enter alone, survive alone, hunt, farm, feed themselves, and live for a few years.
And these people are also educated, they will really summarize the skills they know, and the skills of doing one thing by themselves.
For example, how can I plant more grain this year than last year, then I recall how I planted this year, what is more in the field, and I will try again.
And why I always catch prey with this method, how can I maximize the loss of crops when harvesting, etc.
I have a headache and brain fever and I have taken this herb, I have to write it down.
Before the Tang Dynasty, some Confucians said that I could farm, I could drive, I could ride horses, I could fight, I could work as craftsmen, I could weave, I could make wine, I could hunt, and so on.
There is no way, this group of people who take the road of Confucianism to study knowledge are really rich and free, and this group of people don't like arrogance and lasciviousness, and they belong to people who are out of low-level interests.
Therefore, when they teach their students, they will really teach seriously and teach everything they know.
And these students are really learning.
The children of the rich people in Lingnan led by Li Yan's son are an idea, my father spent a lot of money to ask for the opportunity, if I don't seize it, my father will have to beat me to death.
As long as I have a chance, my family's vein can rise, I can get more resources, and I can also shelter a group of people around me, so my children will not have to suffer in the future.
Some of the common people and children recruited also have similar thoughts, this is the opportunity given to me by fate, and I must succeed.
Li Kuan then allocated a sum of money to the college, which was used for teaching and improving living conditions.
By the way, Li Kuan vaguely expressed his thoughts, these students, you have to force them, otherwise they may be sorry for the investment I gave.
