Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 392, knowledge changes fate

Soon, each team continued to get busy under the leadership of their respective captains. Lin Xiaoyu, Yang Dalang and other outstanding individuals, about [-] or so, stayed behind.

Everyone looked at Li Yuanshan, looking forward to Li Yuanshan's next words. Since everyone has been promoted to captain, it means that everyone can lead their own team in the future, and it seems that there is no shadow of their own team now, or they will continue Recruit people from Fujian.

Li Yuanshan must have kept everyone here for this reason.

"In the past [-] days or so, everyone has been active in their work and performed well, so I promoted everyone to be a small team leader. This is not only a reward for you, but also a test for you."

"Because as a team leader, he not only needs to do well on his own, but more importantly, he must also be able to lead his team to do the assigned tasks well, so this is also a new test for you."

Li Yuanshan looked at the dozens of people in front of him. He followed Liu Jin's style of handling things. Work hard, and you will be rewarded for doing things actively, and there will be room for promotion. The requirements are naturally higher.

"In a few days, new members of Ryukyu City will arrive here. At that time, you will all become team captains and the lowest-level managers of Ryukyu City. Each of you will lead a number of people to participate in the development of Ryukyu City. construction."

"As the grassroots managers of Ryukyu City, it's not enough for you to work hard on your own. You must learn more things and knowledge, the most important of which is to be able to read and write."

"So from the day you became team captains, after you finished your day's work, at night, everyone had to come to the night class together. Literacy is only the most basic requirement, and everyone has a lot to learn , and if you want to continue to be promoted, the more you need to learn."

Hearing Li Yuanshan's words, Yang Dalang couldn't help but get excited. He actually had the opportunity to study.

In this era, reading is a luxury for children from poor families like him, and for most people.

The cost of going to a private school, buying pens, ink, paper and inkstones, etc. was too high. Yang Dalang was very eager to have the opportunity to study in a private school, learn knowledge, and be able to read and write.

It’s just that the conditions in his family simply don’t allow it. His parents never thought about sending him to a private school. When he was young, he let him play by himself. He is already the pillar of the family, and he has to go to the fields with him to work.

Unexpectedly, now, he would still have the opportunity to learn, to be able to read and write. Just thinking about it makes people excited.

Similar to Yang Dalang, everyone else stared their eyes wide in disbelief. After becoming the team leader, they even had the opportunity to go to night classes and learn knowledge. Wouldn't they all become scholars in the future?
"Okay, let's go back to our respective teams to work first."

"Remember, take a shower at night, and then come to the most central municipal building for night classes."

Li Yuanshan looked at the expressions of the crowd and smiled slightly. He knew very well the power of knowledge in this era. Superior.

Everyone dispersed silently and went back to work, but they were all full of energy at this time. After this short meeting, their efforts and efforts were recognized and rewarded by the higher authorities. Similarly, they also saw a better future , all of them are like chicken blood, and they work even harder.

"Dalang, what did you say when you stayed?"

Yang Ergou also worked harder, and usually asked quietly while working hard.

"Tell us to go to night classes in the future. Newcomers will come to Ryukyu City in a few days, and we will take them to work in the future."

Yang Dalang replied.

"Night class?"

"What do you teach in evening classes?"

Yang Ergou immediately became interested, and asked very curiously. As for newcomers, it was not surprising to him at all. Ryukyu City is not small. According to the plan, it can accommodate tens of thousands of people. There will be more and more people.

"Literacy or something."

Yang Dalang thought for a while and said.

"Literate?"

When Yang Ergou heard it, he immediately exclaimed and said: "Then you will be like scholars in the future, won't you still be able to take the imperial examination?"

"If you think about it too much, it should just be about literacy and hyphenation, so that you can learn something in the future so that you can manage it better."

Yang Dalang shook his head and said.

"That's really amazing. People who can read and write are all scholars~"

Yang Ergou couldn't help sighing, and then his intestines were full of regret.

"If I had known earlier, I would have been lazy~"

"No, no, I will work harder in the future, I will also be rated as an outstanding individual, and I will also take night classes."

Then Yang Ergou started to work like crazy.

Although he is a slippery person, he is actually a smart person. Now he sees the benefits of working hard and has room for growth and improvement. His whole person has changed, and he has started to be positive and work hard.

Seeing the changes in Yang Ergou, Yang Dalang couldn't help but smile, and then began to work hard.

Soon, one day passed, and in the evening, Yang Dalang had already had a good meal, took a bath, put on clean and tidy clothes, and came to the municipal building of Ryukyu City.

The Municipal Building is the tallest building built here in Ryukyu City. It is made of reinforced concrete. It has five floors and covers a very large area. Now it has become the management and work center of Ryukyu City.

The naming of the municipal building is also completely incompatible with this era. It is obviously also from Liu Jin's handwriting. Although others are far away from the capital at this time, Realization has already planned everything here in Ryukyu City.

Ryukyu City will be Liu Jin's first place to experiment, and the place where various systems of later generations will be fully implemented. This can be regarded as a way out for Liu Jin to leave for himself.

Although Liu Jin traveled to this era and made many changes, the capital in Daming also sprouted and developed rapidly, becoming an emerging important force.

But Liu Jin is very clear that the traditional feudal power still has the final say in the current Ming Dynasty. From the court to every corner of the Ming Dynasty, the traditional feudal power still dominates this huge empire.

In the face of powerful feudal forces, what Liu Jin can do is to continuously strengthen the power of emerging capital and rely on the power of emerging capital to fight against these traditional feudal forces.

But since ancient times, the transition from one era to another, the alternation of old and new powers will inevitably be accompanied by countless blood, even in Europe, the same is true. Emperors in Britain and France were sent to the guillotine.

In Daming, Liu Jin knew very well that politics determined everything, and the old feudal forces still controlled the lifeblood of the empire. Once a war broke out between the old and new forces, their counterattack would inevitably be extremely swift.

At that time, the emerging capital forces will definitely win, because this is the trend of history, but Liu Jin, as a waver of this era, might die on the beach first.

Therefore, Liu Jin must leave a way out for himself, and also for this huge empire, a nation that has experienced thousands of years of suffering.

Once there is a change in the future, Liu Jin can still retreat overseas, to this Ryukyu City, so that he will not die without a place to bury him.

So for the Ryukyu City, Liu Jin realized all aspects of planning.

From the layout of Ryukyu City, to the future operation mode of Ryukyu City, and even the future population and residents of Ryukyu City, Liu Jin has already made a plan. Everything is completely different from the traditional one. Look and breath.

According to the name of this era, the municipal building should be called a government office or something, but it is not called that in Ryukyu City.

As the night falls, the municipal building is brightly lit. Whale oil lamps are lit in each room. The municipal building uses a large number of glass windows, so when you look at it from the outside, you feel that the municipal hall is brightly lit and resplendent. Very eye-catching in the dark.

One of the conference rooms was temporarily used as a classroom, and when glass whale oil lamps were lit, the entire classroom was as bright as day.

The others were similar to Yang Dalang, all of them had washed up and wore new clothes, Yan Ran looked like a strange student, quietly waiting for her teacher to arrive.

Everyone didn't wait too long, and Li Yuanshan walked in with a smile on his face.

In the first session, he came to teach everyone, followed by Li Yuanshan, and some assistants, carrying bundles of books, notebooks and pencils in their hands.

Each person has a book, a notebook and a pen. This treatment is much better than before. Of course, this also means that Liu Jin has become more mature in this regard, and has embarked on a path that is different from the traditional education model. path of.

Of course, it is still a lot worse than later generations, because this book is just a very simple book, with some words and expressions, arithmetic, etc., which are convenient for teaching.

Later generations are divided into many parts, such as Chinese, mathematics, geography, history, etc. It is obviously not realistic here, and only some simple education can be carried out.

If you can read and write, you can do simple calculations, and you can also know some common sense things. Even if this night class is successful, if you really want to educate future generations, you still need to carry out systematic education from an early age. .

Of course, Liu Jin is already preparing for this aspect. All future children here in Ryukyu City will receive systematic education similar to later generations from childhood.

Only education can cultivate talents, truly open up people's wisdom, and enable the Chinese nation to defeat the Europeans in this era of great voyages, thus grabbing their own piece of cake.

"This is a textbook, this is an exercise book, and this is a pencil. Everyone will bring them to evening classes. Open the textbook first, and turn to the first page. Today, let's learn the 10 characters on the first page. ~"

Yang Dalang listened carefully, and at the same time, according to Li Yuanshan's words, he opened the textbook, and there were ten big square characters written on it.

"Everyone saw the first word~"

Li Yuanshan wrote the first character on the blackboard, which is the word 'heaven'.

"This character is called the word Tian, ​​the sky of God, the sky of the Son of Heaven, the sky of the sky, everyone, look carefully, its strokes are very simple, with two horizontal lines, one stroke and one stroke..."

Li Yuanshan's voice was not loud, but it was transmitted to everyone's ears very clearly. The classroom was very quiet, and everyone studied very seriously.

They are all grown-ups, not children anymore. They all know the value of knowledge and how rare it is to be able to be taught to read and write. They also know that if you want to continue to improve, you must study hard.

Soon, the ten simple words were finished. After the lecture, Li Yuanshan began to talk about numbers again. The numbers learned are Arabic numerals, ten numbers from 0 to 9. It is very easy to learn, and everyone's ability to accept is also very strong. He is serious about studying, so he learns quickly.

According to the usual practice, after the lecture, Li Yuanshan also began to tell stories, and the one-hour night class passed in a blink of an eye.

"An hour has passed like this?"

When Li Yuanshan announced the dismissal of get out of class, Yang Dalang looked at the darkness outside, and suddenly felt that the time passed really quickly, an hour passed in a flash.

Look at the ten words, numbers, and crooked words written on the textbook.

"I, Yang Dalang, can also read, write, and count."

Deep in his heart, Yang Dalang couldn't help shouting like this.

The ancestors of his Yang family have been farmers for countless generations, and they were all illiterate farmers. Now that he is here with him, Yang Dalang, he can finally have the opportunity to read, write, and count. One can imagine Yang Dalang's heart at this time The excitement in it.

He almost hummed a ditty all the way back to the place where he lived, so excited that he couldn't even fall asleep, tossing and turning, constantly recalling the content of the topic in his mind, reviewing the words learned in the night class over and over again , the repeated consolidation of the learned Arabic numerals.

At the same time, he kept recalling the stories Li Yuanshan told in his mind. He always felt that a door had been opened. Through the crack of the door, he had seen a brand new world, a world different from the one he had lived and touched in the past [-] years. A world that excites him and fascinates him.

He knew that he would never go back, and he would never go back to the old Yang Dalang in Dongmei Village, who didn't understand anything and was worried about Yang Dalang every day because he was full of food.

　Today is only [-] words, tired, sleep~
