Steel Dynasty - Chapter 62

[Chapter 62 Bowen Hall]

With the two hundred or so people settled, Xiao Ming asked Chen Wenlong to register Lu Tong and others the next day and put them all into the Equipment Department.

There were a total of 231 strong people staying this time, most of whom were between thirteen and twenty years old. The older ones were probably people with families, so they chose to leave.

“Which one of you is literate?”

Xiao Ming asked after the registration was completed. Now he needed to check the knowledge level of these people.

There was silence.

Xiao Ming instantly understood that not one of these two hundred people was literate, which was what he expected. After all, this era was an era with extremely low knowledge penetration rate.

And this is destined to require a long process to train these people. Even if the overly complex technology is taught to them now, they will not be able to understand it.

After all, technological crystals can only transmit knowledge and present various technical steps in their minds in the form of images and other forms, while the application of knowledge requires realistic exploration.

For example, blast furnace ironmaking and paper coke burning were all things Chen Qi finally mastered after many failures. What he taught Chen Qi was only technical knowledge, and Chen Qi understood and mastered this technology through practice.

But at least one thing about technology crystals is gratifying, that is, when Xiao Ming imparts knowledge to them, they can easily remember the knowledge he imparts.

Although photographic memory cannot be achieved, it is still possible to retain 80% of the memory at one time. In this way, the efficiency of teaching will be greatly enhanced.

“In this case, the first thing I do is to teach you how to read.” Xiao Ming said.

This group of people will be the core technical backbone of Qingzhou in the future. Illiterate people will definitely not be able to do it, but Xiao Ming will not teach them traditional Chinese characters, but plans to teach them vernacular characters.

In the future, Qingzhou’s technical information will use vernacular characters. This is also for the confidentiality of technology and data. Of course, even if the vernacular characters are generally understood, people from Dayu will definitely be able to recognize some, but as long as 50% of them are not recognized. It’s enough to come out.

In order to speed up the memory of Lu Tong and others, he adopted modern pinyin teaching and taught them bit by bit from the most basic characters.

In the morning, he taught all Pinyin to Lu Tong and others, and checked their learning results. They were very satisfied with the results. Each of them memorized more than half of the syllables.

In the afternoon, Xiao Ming did not teach them how to read, but taught them mathematics, from the simplest Arabic numerals to addition and subtraction within ten.

Generally speaking, what he teaches in one day is much faster than the normal courses for primary school students. First, they are older and have higher self-discipline than primary school students. Second, they are highly motivated to learn.

In this era, being able to study is a very noble thing, and people have always been eager to get what they lack. At least today, Lu Tong and others were very focused during class.

In the evening, Chen Wenlong brought a plaque and wrote on it: Bowen Hall. This is the positioning of this courtyard. From now on, this will be the education base of Qingzhou.

“Lu Tong, take them to review their knowledge in the evening. Now you don’t need to do other work. There are servants to take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation.”

Lu Tong was the most active among these teenagers. Chen Wenlong came over with the plaque, and he ran sensibly Go over and help hang it up.

“Your Highness, how can we deserve such preferential treatment? How can we repay His Highness’s great kindness?” Lu Tong is still a little unaccustomed to this change from a slave who works for others to a scholar who can read and write. Too big.

Xiao Ming smiled and said: “This is only temporary. When you learn the true skills, you will need to serve me. At that time, you can think about how to repay me. Now you can teach me Your learning is to repay this king.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Lu Tong said.

At present, the two hundred or so people are young at heart. Xiao Ming was afraid that Lu Tong could not suppress these young people of similar age, so he said to everyone: “From today on, this is the Bowen Hall, and people will continue to come here to study. I hope you will Cherish the opportunities in front of you. If any of you are unwilling to make progress, I can only give him some money and let him make a living on his own. Don’t blame me for being ruthless. I just selected you to revitalize your homeland. I will not tolerate it. There was a mistake, and now I have appointed Lu Tong as your senior, and all of you must obey his orders. “

The young men bowed and said, “Yes, Your Highness.”

Xiao Ming nodded. The word “senior” is in Dayu .

The country’s meaning is that the school’s secondary school supervisor leads the students in each class to abide by the school regulations and cooperate with the teachers to educate the students’ positions. Now that he has opened the school, it must be more formal and have all the positions that should be there.

After giving Lu Tong a few more words, Xiao Ming and Chen Wenlong left the school, and the guards in front of the school closed the door.

Xiao Ming stipulated that every seven days, students in the academy can travel for one day at will, and they must study in the academy the rest of the time.

“Your Highness, can you also let Quan Zi come to this school to listen to His Highness’s teachings?” Chen Wenlong suddenly said after entering the palace from the side door of the alley.

Xiao Ming laughed, “Why did Chen Bingcao suddenly have such an idea?”

“Returning to your highness, the dog has little talent and little knowledge. He is just a little clever. If he still doesn’t make progress every day, he will be embarrassed in the future.” Chen Wenlong said.

“Parents must have long-term plans for their children. Although Chen Bingcao is strict with Chen Qi, he loves his son very much. Chen Bingcao can rest assured that there is a place for Chen Qi in this Bowen Hall.” Xiao Ming said.

Chen Wenlong showed a look of joy, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Xiao Ming waved his hand, “You are all my king’s humerus ministers, this is what you should do.”

Chen Wenlong’s body trembled slightly, being a humerus minister was enough to deeply move him .

After thanking him, Chen Wenlong went back. He wanted to tell Chen Qi the news.

Lu Luo has been following Xiao Ming today, and now she finally couldn’t help it and asked: “Your Highness, what you taught today are some strange things, why have I never heard of them.”

Both Luluo and Ziyuan had read books, so they naturally knew that what Xiao Ming taught Lu Tong and others were not regular words, but some words that seemed strange to her.

“This is my king’s secret, don’t tell anyone else.” Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Lu Luo nodded, not daring to ask again.

At this time, dinner in the palace has been prepared. Different from the embarrassment two months ago, the food now is richer. In addition to pastries, there are also some stir-fry dishes.

In addition to the fact that the palace now has silver in its warehouse, it is also because merchants gathered in Qingzhou and brought abundant commodities.

A few days ago, Xiao Ming asked the equipment department to make a special iron pot for the palace. With the addition of a briquette stove, the cooking hardware was now available.

“Your Highness, this is the ground pot chicken you want.” Sitting down in front of the table, the cook Ding brought the iron pot up. The aroma of ground pot chicken hit his nostrils, and Xiao Ming couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
