In an auditorium in Xishan, Tian Erniu, Zhao Houhou, Dahu, and Silly Xiong didn't go to work in the afternoon, so they came to the auditorium after dinner very early to wait, ready to see what this night class was about.
Sample.
The four of us were the first to arrive and sat at the front. Looking around the auditorium, we also felt that it was very novel. The back was very long and huge, with rows of long seats built out of wood, and they were getting taller and taller.
As for the front, there is a podium with a black wooden board, and I don't know what it is used for.
As night fell, there were more and more people in the auditorium. Before long, the front of the auditorium was filled with people. Then the people in charge of the auditorium began to light torches around the auditorium, illuminating the entire auditorium.
's bright.
When it got dark outside, the entire auditorium was full, with hundreds of people in it, but everyone was very conscious and very quiet.
In everyone's hearts, this place of study and study is a very sacred place. Although it is not a private school and there is no statue of Confucius, everyone has a tacit understanding to keep quiet.
Even though the newcomers like Tian Erniu didn't understand the rules and chatted with each other at first, when everyone came and kept quiet and waited for class, they naturally stopped making noises.
Waiting quietly.
The one who came to this auditorium for class today was Lin Shuhong, one of Liu Jin's three apprentices. Many old people couldn't help but light up their eyes when they saw Lin Shuhong.
Because after Lin Shuhong finished his lecture, he would also tell you about the things in the world, such as the Golden Island, which is full of gold, and the food crops that produce dozens of stones per acre, and the Gem Island, which is full of gems.
Africa, whose skin is as black as honeycomb coal, Europe, where silk and porcelain can be considered gold, and so on.
These things are what everyone likes to listen to the most, and they are also eye-opening for everyone. Everyone likes Lin Shuhong's class very much.
Of course, everyone also liked the classes of Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan because Huang Jinquan was very good at telling stories. After each class, he would also tell everyone a story, such as the Snail Girl, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the White Snake, etc. Everyone also liked it very much.
I like it very much, which is why everyone likes to come to night classes. If not for anything else, just listening to the stories is very good.
"Ahem~ It's time for class!"
Lin Shuhong looked at the hundreds of people in the dark auditorium. To be honest, he was still very nervous when he first went to class, and even stuttered a bit when he spoke. But now he is much better, and he is used to the feeling of being noticed.
, and even gradually fell in love with this feeling.
"First of all, let's learn to read~"
Lin Shuhong started writing on the blackboard with chalk. The making of chalk is very simple. It is made of a mixture of limestone and gypsum. There is no difficulty at all. Liu Jin made it easily. As for the blackboard
It's even simpler, just a few templates painted with black paint.
Lin Shuhong wrote the words "big" and "small" on the blackboard.
"Let's take a look. This character is a big character, and this character is a small character. They are both very simple, easy to write and easy to remember~"
"Big and small, everyone repeat after me, big, small~"
Lin Shuhong is still very talented as a teacher and knows how to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm. As he finished speaking, he pointed at the words with a ruler, and then led everyone to read along.
"Big, small~"
Tian Erniu, Zhao Houhou and others also learned it very seriously. This word is simple and everyone understands its meaning. Everyone agrees that they can learn it almost instantly.
After learning the two words, Lin Shuhong wrote the two words "positive" and "negative" on the blackboard. As usual, everyone read it a few times and explained the meaning a little, even if they had finished teaching these two words.
Soon, in just 10 minutes, all 10 words were taught. They were all written on the blackboard and they were reviewed from the beginning again. This literacy teaching was considered passed.
"Because there are new people joining our family today, I will teach you how to learn Arabic numerals first. If you have learned them before, just review them."
Then it was time to teach arithmetic. Lin Shuhong also wrote Arabic numerals on the blackboard. These Arabic numerals were simple to learn, easy to understand, and very convenient to use. Liu Jin naturally taught them to his students and the stewards of Xishan
, shopkeeper and the like.
"0123456789~ This number is very simple. It is also the basis for us to learn arithmetic next. Everyone should follow me and read it together."
Lin Shuhong led everyone to learn Arabic numerals, and then began to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The rules he used were also those of later generations of mathematics. They were simple and easy to understand, easy to use, and faster to learn.
Even if you are a newcomer like Tian Erniu, as long as you study hard, you can basically learn it in one go.
"Okay, that's it for today's lesson~"
After Lin Shuhong finished speaking, the hundreds of people in the entire auditorium became more energetic, because it was time for everyone's favorite program, and it was time for Lin Shuhong to explain geography knowledge to everyone.
"Today I will tell you about Nanyang~"
Lin Shuhong looked at everyone's excited expressions, smiled and began to simply draw a map on the blackboard.
"Please see, everyone, this is our Ming Dynasty, this is the capital area where we are now, this is the Yellow River, the outlet of the Yellow River is in Shandong, and this is the Yangtze River..."
"Nanyang is south of our Ming Dynasty. There are two ways to get to Nanyang. One is to take a boat from the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian and cross the South China Sea. The other is to go south from Yunnan and Guangxi across the Shiwan Mountains.
It can also be reached.”
"This Nanyang region is very fertile. Because it is located in the tropics, it is summer here all year round. It is very warm. There is no such thing as winter, autumn, or spring."
"There are so many fruits here. There are endless fruits to eat on the roadside. The land here is very fertile. If you sow a handful of seeds, you can sit at home and wait for the harvest of rice. The yield is extremely high.
An acre can produce three or four stones per crop, and it can produce three crops a year. It is like a paradise, and people here will never have to worry about food."
"Because there is a lot of food here, the fruits here are very rich, there are endless fish in the ocean here, and the islands here are full of gold and silver..."
Everyone is deeply attracted by the Nanyang described by Lin Shuhong. There is no need to work, and you never have to worry about hunger or cold. This kind of place is simply paradise, and it is the place that everyone wants to stay in their dreams.
Even though many people have heard Lin Shuhong talk about the Nanyang region more than once, they are still deeply attracted. They only regret that they were born in the Ming Dynasty instead of the Nanyang region, otherwise they would have no worries about food and clothing.
As for the new refugees like Tian Erniu, Zhao Houhou, Dahu, and Shaxiong, they were all deeply attracted. They couldn't believe that such a good place could exist in the world.
For these people at the bottom of society, heaven is nothing more than this.
