Chapter 16 Everyday Life
"How are you preparing for this year's exam?" On the ox cart home, Feng Xue suddenly asked, and Xu Fu, who was following the car, immediately responded: "Hui Gongzi, it's ready, and you can start when the spring plowing is over, in addition, a few traveling merchants asked if it was every year, and it seemed that they wanted to bring their children over next year......
"Well, just tell them directly, I don't care if it's a local from Sheyang, anyway, as long as he comes, he will definitely stay in Sheyang to study. Feng Xue waved her hand, and then said, "What about the academy, how are you preparing?"
"The classroom has been built, the multiplication formula, nursery rhymes, exercise books, and exercise books have all been prepared, but it's just ......" Xu Fu said this, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: " According to the results of the county order, there are 20,000 children aged 3-12 in Sheyang County (even if the modern aging population, the proportion of school-age children is one and a half, and the fertility rate is very high in ancient times, even if you consider the situation of premature death, it is definitely not an exaggeration for school-age children to reach 20% of the total population), and it is just enough to print so many teaching materials, the key is that it is difficult for the academy to accommodate so many students!"
"I didn't say we all taught together. Feng Xue glanced at Xu Fu, and then explained, "A child can maintain concentration for about three quarters of an hour, so each child learns three quarters of an hour of writing every day, rests for two quarters of an hour, and then counts for three quarters of an hour, this is an hour."
A class can accommodate sixty students, and the college holds classes for two hours in the morning and evening, and one teacher can teach two hundred and forty students a day, and I now have a total of thirteen students who have mastered basic arithmetic and common writing, and can teach up to 3,000 children a day, and 20,000 people is only a matter of seven days.
Students have one class every ten years, and teachers have three days off every ten years, so that students do not delay things at home, and have time to remember what they have learned, and teachers have time to study and rest.
And in this process, the children's middle school fast and slow learning will slowly stratify, we can also pick out those who learn fast to re-establish the class, to the slow learning of students tutoring, slowly old with the new, before next winter, Zhang San and they will be able to liberate from the basic teaching, and the fastest learning of the group of students will become the new basic teachers, and then we can also open advanced classes to teach more advanced knowledge......"
Feng Xue crackled and introduced the glorious future of her academy, and Xu Fu nodded again and again when she listened. As a housekeeper, he will still do basic arithmetic, and quickly sorted out Feng Xue's meaning, although if he takes a class once in ten days, it is estimated that he will be able to give a rough idea of the commonly used words and addition and subtraction in a year, but for most families, this is enough, and those who are eager for knowledge will naturally be more attentive in private.
Moreover, improving the literacy rate is the basis of Feng Xue's next big plans such as medical treatment in the countryside, popularization of newspapers, and the establishment of county libraries.
In fact, compared to the teaching plans of medical science, engineering and agriculture, in fact, the most headache for Feng Xue is the part of children's literacy, because he can't choose what those predecessors like at all.
In the thousand-character text, there are lines such as "hanging the people and cutting down crimes, Zhou Fa Yin Tang"; in the rhyme of Liweng? there are "Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, and Lu Wangzhao flies bears"; many surnames in the hundred family names have not yet appeared; as for the Three Character Classic, even if the historical part is deleted, there are still parts of Zhou Yi, the Book of Poetry, the Analects, and the Three Outlines and Five Constants...... The allusion is even more of a headache, like Meng's mother's three moves, what should you do?
In the end, Feng Xue could only take out 300 fairy tales and children's songs that were completely out of step with history, which were counted as teaching materials for children's literacy, and as for the rest, let's change it slowly.
At present, Feng Xue's most promising launch before the start of school is "Zengguang Xianwen", although it uses allusions such as a word of gold, but at least it does not involve the names of people and places, and it is no problem to use it as an education to persuade him to learn, and the Zengguang Xianwen itself is not systematic, so it can be deleted at will, everything is inferior, and it is deleted directly. As for a lot of vulgar things in it, and the problem of looking at people's hearts too sinisterly, it is more appropriate to use them as enlightenment in this era, or if you do anything, children will probably not understand.
The ox cart soon returned to Gongzi's mansion, Feng Xue had dinner under the service of his subordinates, and then went into the study and began his great business of copying books--In this era, there should only be two meals in the morning and evening, but who made Feng Xue rich? With the increasing maturity of hybrid rice technology, Feng Xue is determined to let all the county citizens, no, all human races can eat three meals a day......
(A certain big guy in Huoyun Cave suddenly felt it, and then gave a thumbs up in the air)
......
"Aggressive ......"
The unhurried knock on the door sounded again in the early morning, and Feng Xue, who was used to being woken up by the maid every morning, shouted "come in" with sleepy eyes, and then squinted her eyes again, quietly waiting to be served to dress and wash-
Not just the maid at the door, but also the one lying on his bed.
As the prince of the princes, and the prince of the seventeen-year-old, Feng Xue has a good girl, although she is not actually a slave, but according to the current universal values (referring to class), the difference between them and real slaves is only that they have wages, and they cannot be executed at will.
Therefore, this kind of girl will never have the kind of talkative, arrogant, rebellious, and lively characters that were common in online articles in her previous life, because a servant with this kind of character will not say whether she is qualified to become a personal maid, even if she does, she will not live long.
Even if Feng Xue likes it, it can't be, because theoretically, even if he likes it, it can only be the kind of liking for vases and other utensils, otherwise Feng Xue herself has no problem, but this girl may be "accidental......
Enjoying the maid's gentle brushing movements, Feng Xue's originally somewhat hazy spirit slowly recovered, but when he really came to his senses, he was already sitting at the dining table, eating a breakfast that was not so rich but not so bad.
The combination of rice porridge and pickles will never go out of style, but after eating it for a long time, Feng Xue will inevitably think of foods such as tofu brain, this Sheyang County is not short of brine for boiling salt, and soybeans are also planted in this era, but the status is slightly embarrassing, if it is done, it will undoubtedly add a channel for the Honghuang people to take protein, and it is estimated that it is another merit.
Thinking of this, Feng Xue did not hesitate, immediately recruited craftsmen from the family, and began to experiment, for the situation of his own son-in-law, of course, the slaves were not suitable at the beginning, but now, they have long been used to it.
The principle of soybean milk is not difficult, and the brine in coastal areas is not difficult to find, as for beans, as one of the five grains, it is naturally not uncommon, not to mention that Feng Xue Jiangcheng also proposed soybean fertilizer fields in his life, and the only trouble is the most basic tool - stone grinding.
Fortunately, this era is not a historical fact, but a mythical world, and the stone mill that should not have appeared in the Bronze Age was already there at this time.
Just tinkering around like this, by the time the first bucket of soy milk began to solidify, it was already afternoon, although as the owner of a village, Feng Xue didn't have anything to do on weekdays, and the only thing that could be regarded as a job was the disciple brother, but his apprentice was now studying tofu in the backyard......
At this time, those who study medicine are studying the medicinal possibilities and taboos of soybean milk; those who study science and engineering study together how to design the texture of stone grinding to achieve the best grinding effect; those who study agriculture are thinking about the changes that the emergence of tofu may bring to the breeding industry and planting industry.
And Feng Xue, who had nothing to do, just lay on the rocking chair made by her apprentice so leisurely, quietly looking at the sky, and from time to time opened her mouth to eat the snacks handed over by the girl, and she was in a good mood.
But at this moment, a servant suddenly walked over unhurriedly, although his demeanor was calm, but at this time, a servant came over itself, which meant that Feng Xue's leisurely daily life would be interrupted.
"Childe, Luo Xianling is out asking to see you. ”
........................
ps: Don't ask about salt, pickles originated in the Bronze Age, and Sheyang County is by the sea, just because there are dragons that can't be dried on a large scale. As for the stone mill, Jiang Ziya knows, right? In the Romance of the Gods, grinding noodles and selling noodles naturally has stone grinding, as for what kind of chisel was used in the Bronze Age...... Probably the teeth and bones of the monsters, right?
