Soon, each team started to get busy under the leadership of their respective captains. Lin Xiaoyu, Yang Dalang and other individuals with outstanding performance, about eighty in number, stayed behind.
Everyone is looking at Li Yuanshan, looking forward to Li Yuanshan's next step. Now that everyone has been promoted to captain, it means that everyone can lead their own teams in the future. However, it seems that there is no trace of their own teams now, or they will continue.
Recruit people from Fujian.
Li Yuanshan must have kept everyone here for this reason.
"Everyone has worked actively and performed well in the past twenty days or so, so I promote you to squad 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 also needs to be able to lead his team to complete the assigned tasks, 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 work style. If you work hard and do things actively, you will be rewarded and there will be room for promotion. But similarly, the higher you go, all kinds of things will happen.
The requirements will naturally be higher.
"In a few days, new members of Ryukyu City will arrive here. At that time, you will all become team captains and the most basic 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 is not enough for you to work hard on your own. You must learn more things and knowledge. The most important one is to be literate."
"So from the day you become the team leader, after you have finished your work during the day, at night, you all have to come together for night classes. Literacy and literacy are only the most basic requirements. You have a lot to learn.
, and if you want to continue to get promoted, the more things 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 the absolute majority of people.
The expenses of studying in a private school, buying pens, ink, paper and inkstones, etc. were really too much. Yang Dalang had been eager to have the opportunity to go to a private school to study, learn knowledge, and be able to read and write since he was a child.
It's just that his family's conditions simply don't allow it. His parents have never thought about sending him to a private school. When he was young, they just let him play by himself. When he got a little older, he started to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. When he got a little older, then
He is already the mainstay of the family, and he has to work in the fields together.
Unexpectedly, now, he would still have the opportunity to study and be able to read and write. Just thinking about it makes people excited.
Similar to Yang Dalang, everyone else's eyes widened in disbelief. After becoming a squad leader, they actually had the opportunity to take night classes and learn knowledge. Wouldn't they all become scholars in the future?
"Okay, let's go back to work in our respective teams first."
"Remember, take a shower first at night, and then come to the municipal building in the center for night classes."
Li Yuanshan looked at everyone's expressions and smiled. He knew very well the power of knowledge in this era. For these ordinary people, those who can read and write are scholars, and in front of them, scholars naturally want to
Superior to others.
Everyone dispersed silently and went back to work, but at this time they were all full of energy. After this brief meeting, their efforts and contributions were recognized and rewarded by their superiors, and they also saw a better future.
, every one of them was as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and they worked even harder.
"Dalang, what did you say when you stayed?"
Yang Ergou also worked harder, and asked quietly while working hard.
"We are told to have night classes from now on. New people will come to Ryukyu City in a few days, and we will take them to work in the future."
Yang Dalang replied.
"Night classes?"
"What do you teach in night classes?"
Yang Ergou became interested immediately and asked curiously. As for the newcomers, it was not surprising to him at all. Ryukyu City is not small. According to the plan, it is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. There must be more here.
There will be more and more people.
"Let's learn how to read and write, or something like that."
Yang Dalang thought for a while and said.
"Literacy and hyphenation?"
When Yang Ergou heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "Then you will be the same as scholars in the future, wouldn't you be able to take the imperial examination?"
"I think too much. I should just be able to read and write, so that I can learn some things in the future, so that I can manage better."
Yang Dalang shook his head and said.
"That's amazing. Those who can read and decipher are all scholars~"
Yang Ergou couldn't help but sigh, and then his intestines turned green with 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 seemed to be crazy and started working hard.
Although he is naughty, he is actually smart. Now he sees the benefits of working hard and there is room for growth and progress. His whole person has changed and he has become positive and works hard.
Seeing Yang Ergou's change, Yang Dalang couldn't help but smile, and then he began to work hard.
Soon, the day passed. In the evening, Yang Dalang had already eaten early, took a shower, put on clean and tidy clothes and came to the municipal building of Ryukyu City.
The Municipal Building is the tallest building built in Ryukyu Castle. It is made of reinforced concrete and has five floors. It covers an extremely large area. It has now become the management and work center of Ryukyu Castle.
The naming of the municipal building is also completely out of tune with this era. This is obviously also the work of Liu Jin. Although he was far away in the capital at this time, Realization had already made plans for everything here in Ryukyu City.
Ryukyu City will be Liu Jin's first place to experiment, the place where various systems of later generations will be fully implemented. This can be regarded as a fallback path left by Liu Jin for himself.
Although Liu Jin traveled to this era and has made many changes, capital within the Ming Dynasty also sprouted and developed rapidly, becoming an emerging and important force.
But Liu Jin knew very well that the traditional feudal forces still had the final say in the Ming Dynasty. From the imperial court to every corner of the Ming Dynasty, the traditional feudal forces still dominated this huge empire.
Facing the powerful feudal forces, all Liu Jin could do was 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, and the alternation of old and new forces will inevitably be accompanied by countless blood. Even in Europe, the same is true. Emperors in Britain and France were guillotined.
In the Ming Dynasty, 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.
The emerging capital forces will surely win by then, because this is the trend of history, but Liu Jin, as a trendsetter 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, this nation that has experienced thousands of years of suffering.
If something changes in the future, Liu Jin can still retreat overseas and come here to Ryukyu City, so that he will not die without a burial place.
Therefore, Liu Jin realized all aspects of planning for Ryukyu City.
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 plans. Everything is completely different from the traditional one. He wants to establish a new trend.
Style and atmosphere.
According to the name of the municipal building in this era, it should be called a government office or something like that, but it is not called that in Ryukyu Castle.
As night falls, the municipal building is brightly lit, with whale oil lamps lit in every room. The municipal building uses a large number of glass windows, so when looking from the outside, it feels like the municipal hall is brightly lit and magnificent.
Very eye-catching in the dark night.
One of the conference rooms was temporarily used as a classroom. Glass whale oil lamps were lit, and the entire classroom was suddenly as bright as day.
The others were similar to Yang Dalang. They had all washed up and were wearing clean new clothes. Yanran looked like a strange student, quietly waiting for the arrival of his teacher.
Everyone didn't wait too long, and Li Yuanshan walked in with a smile on his face.
In this first period, he taught everyone. Li Yuanshan was followed by 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 found a path that is different from the traditional education model.
path of.
Of course, it is still far behind compared with later generations, because this book is just a very simple book with some words and phrases, arithmetic and the like, which can be used for teaching.
Later generations are divided into many areas, 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 hyphenate, do some simple calculations, and 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, in this regard, Liu Jin is already preparing. All children in Ryukyu City in the future will receive a systematic education similar to that of later generations from an early age.
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 navigation, thereby grabbing a piece of cake that belongs to them.
"This is a textbook, this is an exercise book, and this is a pencil. Everyone must bring it to night classes in the future. Everyone first opens the textbook and turns to the first page. Today we will first learn the 10 words on the first page.
~”
Yang Dalang listened carefully, and at the same time, he opened the textbook according to Li Yuanshan's words, and there were ten large square characters written on it.
"Everyone sees the first word~"
Li Yuanshan wrote the first character on the blackboard, which was the character "天".
"This character is called the word Tian, which means the sky of God, the sky of the emperor, and the sky of the sky. Look carefully. Its strokes are very simple, with two horizontal strokes, 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.
We are all adults, no longer children. We all know clearly how valuable knowledge is, and how rare it is to have someone ask you to read and write. We also know that if you want to continue to improve, you must study hard.
Soon, the ten simple words were finished. After that, Li Yuanshan started to talk about numbers again. The numbers he learned were Arabic numerals, the ten numbers from 0 to 9. It was very simple to learn, and everyone's ability to accept it was also very strong.
I study hard and learn quickly.
As usual, after finishing the lecture, Li Yuanshan also started telling stories, and the hour-long night class passed in the blink of an eye.
"An hour has passed like this?"
When Li Yuanshan announced that get out of class was over, Yang Dalang looked at the darkness outside and suddenly felt that the time had passed so quickly. An hour passed in a flash.
Look at the ten words and numbers in the textbook, and the crooked words I wrote on the notebook.
"I, Yang Dalang, can also read, write, and do arithmetic."
Deep in his heart, Yang Dalang couldn't help shouting.
The ancestors of his Yang family have been farmers for countless generations, all of whom were illiterate farmers. Now that he is here with Yang Dalang, he finally has the opportunity to be able to read, write, and count. You can imagine what Yang Dalang is feeling at this time.
The excitement in it.
He was humming a little tune almost all the way back to where he lived. He was so excited that he couldn't even sleep. He tossed and turned, constantly recalling the content of the topic in his mind, and reviewing the words he learned in the night class over and over again.
, the learned Arabic numerals are repeatedly consolidated.
At the same time, his mind was constantly recalling the story Li Yuanshan told. He always felt that a door had been opened. Through the crack in the door, he had seen a brand-new world, a world different from the one he had lived and been exposed to in the past eighteen years.
A world that excites and fascinates him.
He knew that he could never go back, never go back to the old Yang Dalang in Dongmei Village, the Yang Dalang who didn't know anything and was worried about having a full stomach every day.
