Placing the school here on the dock site is of course a temporary solution.
But corralling the children first is the top priority.
When I have free time in the future, I will choose another place to rebuild the school.
Anyway, the wharf is not in use this year, and the place is vacant after it is built. It is a good time to make use of it.
That night, Song Yang notified the children and asked them to report to the new school in the dock area in three days.
For a time, the people in the new city were in great joy...
Someone finally takes care of this naughty kid!
What makes parents even more happy is that the school also takes care of meals, which saves parents a lot of trouble.
After the school affairs were settled, Song Yang took a walk around the new city.
The overall construction period of the residential area is good, and most of the people have already lived in adobe houses.
The administrative area is still empty, only the locations for various government offices have been left, but construction has not yet begun.
The main reason is that there is no talent, and there are no officials to appoint during the construction.
After that comes the industrial area.
Some small workshops have already begun construction here.
The largest number of them are carpentry and masonry workshops.
The industrial zone is located in the northeast of Xincheng, near the bamboo forest at the mouth of the river.
Not far to the south is the Xincheng Pier, and to the west is the recruit training camp.
Now is the period of urban reconstruction and recovery, and there is a huge consumption of wood, bamboo, bricks and tiles.
Therefore, the construction priority of such workshops is higher.
These workshops are directly controlled by the government, and everything they produce is decided by the government.
But the ownership of the workshop belongs to the workshop owner.
Once the state of emergency is lifted, their operating rights will be returned.
The same is true for other industries.
These common people can also understand, after all, the current situation is like this.
Unified deployment can also restore production and life faster.
The most important thing is that Song Yang's personal prestige is extremely high, and people believe almost anything he says.
To the west of the industrial area and to the east of the ruins of the old city, including the old dock, are now camps for recruits.
The open space on the other side of the pier is used for training sailors, while the open space on this side is a training ground for the army.
After the new city wharf was built, the old wharf was used as a military port, which separated the military and civilian wharfs.
After inspecting his lair, Song Yang was about to go home and study the teaching materials.
After returning to the main camp, I saw Lu Jimin talking to his disciples in the courtyard of his home.
After the plague was basically over, Dr. Lu's life was back on track.
The private pharmacy opened with Song Yang's support, and medical treatment was free.
Lu Jimin's main spare time job is to train apprentices and train more medical personnel.
At this moment, I am explaining pharmacological effects to my apprentices.
"The common people have seen the prince!"
"Hello, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"
When Song Yang walked to the door of his house, Doctor Lu and his disciples all ran out to greet him.
"No need to be polite, you are busy, I just want to take a look." Song Yang said with a smile.
After saying hello, Doctor Lu asked his young apprentice to show Song Yang a seat and watch tea, and then he went on to teach his apprentice.
After he finished teaching, another middle-aged man came out and added some more.
This man is also a doctor, his name is Li Rui.
They were refugees from Jianchang brought back from De'an by Song Yang.
Now he is Lu Jimin's assistant.
Lu Jimin has actually been made a medical officer by Song Yang, but this guy is used to being called a grass-roots man, and he always calls himself a grass-roots man when he meets Song Yang.
Regarding the title, Song Yang did not intend to force the people to change it immediately.
This thing is subtle and cannot be changed easily.
It wasn't until Lu Jimin finished teaching his disciples that they came over to talk to Song Yang.
"My lord, do you have any instructions for me?" Doctor Lu asked.
Normally, Song Yang would just say hello when he passed by.
This time, she was waiting for him to finish class, obviously she had something to say.
Song Yang did have something going on, and he just came up with it on the spur of the moment.
"Doctor Lu, something is indeed wrong."
"Have you heard that the king is going to set up a school?" Song Yang asked.
"Of course I heard about it. The people all said that the prince helped them solve the big problem of taking care of their children!" Lu Jimin said with a smile.
"Actually, I want to talk to you about the children's education."
"I'll just think about it again. In our current situation, I guess we don't have to think about the imperial examination for the time being."
"Then it's better to let the children have more skills, don't you think?"
"So I am thinking about opening more courses."
"It also includes medicine, so I want to invite Dr. Lu to teach."
Song Yang explained the origin. Song Yang had thought about professional education before.
But medicine was improvised.
I walked around the campground in the morning and thought about what courses I could add.
When I saw Dr. Lu, I thought of medicine.
"this……"
Doctor Lu hesitated and said:
"My lord, it's not that ordinary people don't want to teach, it's just that they're afraid that they won't be able to teach well."
"Medical skills require a certain amount of talent, and those with poor talent may not be able to learn it in their lifetime."
Lu Jimin told the truth, the disciples he has chosen now are all smart people.
But there are not many people who have really learned anything. The main reason is that Chinese medicine has only been around for more than ten years and it is impossible to use it at all.
"Lao Lu, you don't have to worry about this."
"Our school teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. Those who are talented can study, and those who are not talented can study elsewhere."
"Except for reading and literacy, all other courses are considered professional courses or interest courses."
"Separate subjects according to children's preferences and acceptance."
"This way gifted children can get a better education."
"If you really don't have any talent, it would be nice to learn how to read and write."
Song Yang may not want to engage in rigid education.
It is even more impossible for the eight-part essay to appear again.
Therefore, the current teaching model is mainly based on professional education.
In this way, children's professional knowledge can be quickly improved and lay the foundation for the future revival of all walks of life.
Of course, ordinary people in night schools also follow this model of subject-specific education.
But it won’t be enforced. You can come if you want to, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to.
"Your Majesty has thought carefully! I will accept this matter."
Now that the talk has come to this, Lu Jimin has nothing to refuse.
Besides, he really wanted to select a few good talents to pass on the mantle.
"Then the medical teaching will be left to Dr. Lu. I don't care how you and Dr. Li allocate your coursework."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will have a good discussion with Dr. Li on how to teach and where to teach." Lu Jimin nodded.
"The common people must help Dr. Lu teach medicine well." Li Rui also expressed his position hurriedly.
Li Rui is good at large and small square pulses, which perfectly complements Lu Jimin.
After finalizing the medical affairs, Song Yang returned home.
He needs to think carefully about dividing the curriculum into subjects.
When I got home, Tong Qian had thoughtfully prepared pen and paper.
Song Yang picked up the pen and just wrote the word "medical department" when Gongsun Mo's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the common people have something to ask for."
"Old Mo, what's wrong?" Song Yang walked out, and it turned out to be Gongsun Mo outside the door.
After talking about Song Yang, Gongsun Mo said embarrassedly.
"Well... Cao Min and the others want to treat the prince to a meal..."
