It turned out that this young man was the young man named Pei whom he had met a few days ago. He was an assistant teacher at the training camp. There happened to be no classes today, so he accompanied the only one to pick up the new one. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be someone he had met once before.
Xingyu Jian said in surprise: "Do you know each other?"
Tang Zhao didn't wait for the young man to speak, and smiled directly: "You know, we are half fellow villagers. I met Brother Pei in Heyang County."
Assistant Professor Pei was stunned and confused for a moment.
Xing Yujian didn't care after hearing this and said: "It turns out you are a fellow villager. That's just right. I'll let Assistant Pei show you around later. Tang Jiaoyu, my surname is Dong, Xing Yujian, you can call me Dong Jiaoyu or Dong Xingyu." Okay, just don’t see anyone outside. Let’s come inside.”
The two entered the gate. Assistant Professor Pei was a step behind, with his head lowered and seemed to be very confused.
The training camp is large and open, with no tall buildings. As soon as you enter, you will find the school ground, which is paved with fine sand. Dozens of boys and girls are divided into three teams and are practicing sword and boxing on the ground. Two teachers are watching and giving guidance.
Tang Zhao glanced at it and knew that the three grades in the training camp were training separately.
I think back when Tang Zhao watched people practicing boxing for the first time, he just stared out of curiosity and almost got shot with an arrow. Now he only needs to glance at them to know the progress of these teenagers.
The training camp is a three-year program and is divided into three levels: high, middle and low. But not everyone can stay for the full three years. Strict assessments are conducted every year to screen out unqualified students. Although some students have been eliminated, but still have a few excellent courses, the dean will give them the opportunity to repeat one year with the next grade. The total will not exceed four years, and the graduation age will not exceed 18 years old.
Walking inside, there is a small playground, a practice room, a God-observation room, a library, etc... These are all for all students. There are also some special facilities that cannot be used until a certain stage. Finally, there are the teaching buildings and dormitories. The dormitory is like a camp, consisting of rows of wooden houses with eight people in each room. The accommodation conditions are very embarrassing. Obviously, although the training camp is much richer than Black Spider Villa, the dormitory arrangements for the students are similar - young people do not need to live in good houses.
The teaching building is a three-story building, which is inconspicuous. There are two classrooms on the first floor, and above are the teaching and teacher's offices. More than a dozen teachers share two rooms, and there are two teachers in one room. Training camps are mainly focused on exercise. Except for lower grades, classrooms are generally not used. Teachers and teachers often have to watch students on the school grounds or exercise themselves, and rarely have time to sit around in class.
Dong Xingyu brought Tang Zhao to sit down in his office hall, poured him tea, and said: "Tang Jiaoyu, you came at the right time. Now the training camp is too short of people, and I am in a dilemma."
Tang Zhao looked around the room and saw that the desk where Xing Yujian worked was filled with volumes of books, almost reaching the rafters. The two shelves behind her were also full of books. He guessed that she was a book lover. . Swordsmen also like to read, and most of them like to be quiet and don't like to move. If they have too many chores, they may be really troubled. Immediately he said: "I am new here and don't understand anything. When I came here, the mountain chief told me to ask Dong Jiaoyu if you have anything to do. If you have anything to do, just ask me to do it. Don't be polite. We are all our own people, so I'm looking forward to it. It could be of use."
Dong Xingyu nodded and said: "Since we are one of our own, I won't make any fuss." He opened a curtain next to him, revealing a large board, took out a charcoal pen, and wrote on it.
This seems to be a teaching aid used in the classroom, and Dong Jiaoyu is used to it.
Tang Zhao also sat down naturally and simply took out a pen and paper to take notes.
"Let me introduce our training camp first."
"There are currently 186 students in the training camp, including 102 boys and 85 girls. There are 94 junior students, 62 intermediate students, and 30 senior students."
Tang Zhao secretly thought: Are about thirty people eliminated in each grade? The elimination rate is quite high.
"Both the dean and the mountain chief are not here. There were originally four teachers, but now there are only you and me. There were originally twelve teachers, but now there are only three. As you can see, there are only two teachers in the school to look after three grades. Now There are nine assistant teachers... together with the ones you brought, there are ten people in total."
Tang Zhao did the math. According to the original staff, seventeen teachers and one hundred and eighty students, a little more than ten people per person, seemed to be... okay?
Dong Xingyu continued: "There are too few teachers and teaching assistants now, so some places can only be closed. For example, places such as Fu Puppet Array and Fierce Beast Garden are closed now and will reopen at a specific time. Otherwise, even if you are added It’s not enough either.”
Tang Zhao suddenly realized that these people had to go to various places to guard, and the more places they occupied, the more manpower they occupied. This calculation was indeed very stressful.
After introducing the situation, Dong Xingyu continued: "The first task we face now is, of course, daily teaching. There are three grades. There are eight courses in the lower grade, four in the middle grade. Two courses in the upper grade. Oh, it seems to have been added. One course, now three." She brushed up and wrote down all the courses. Among them, the two upper-level courses include "Art of War and Tactics" and "Fundamentals of Xuan Gong" in addition to the newly added "Usage of Magical Weapons". The rest of the courses such as sword moves and internal skills have been changed to self-study.
Tang Zhaoqi asked: "There are so many classes in the lower grades, can the teachers handle them?"
Dong Xingyu said: "It doesn't matter, they are all small classes, and one teacher can teach everything. It's just that there are many people, so there are three classes, so three teachers are needed. There are two teachers in two classes for the middle grade. Only one teacher is needed for the senior grade."
Tang Zhao said: "Then we need six..."
Dong Xingyu said: "Originally, including me, there were four. I taught all the courses for the upper grades, and the rest of the lower grades were divided into two classes, with one teacher for each class. The middle grades share one teacher. Now add you and divide it a little bit. Just take care of the upper class. Don't lead a class at first, try teaching. You can teach another class in addition to your own class."
Tang Zhao nodded. Although there were only two classes in the upper grades, the usual reading training took up the same time as in the lower grades. It did not mean that there was less pressure. Moreover, taking all the courses is similar to being a "class teacher". Not only does it teach, but you also have to care about life and study after class, which is very cumbersome. It stands to reason that these class leaders are all young warrior teachers. Swordsman Yu only needs to teach advanced courses and solve students' problems. Now that there is a shortage of teachers, Dong Xingyu can only fill it. This is a huge waste.
Although Tang Zhao is here, he has no teaching experience and cannot be a teacher for the time being. He can only relieve the pressure of teaching.
At that moment he said: "Then let me teach you the basics of Xuan Gong."
He didn't understand the art of war and tactics, so he definitely couldn't teach them, but he could learn them casually.
Dong Xingyu nodded and said: "That's all the daily teaching. The second is a few major events that we have to face. The first is the graduation exam in two months. The exam will be held in Twilight City."
Tang Zhao said "Ah".
Dong Xingyu looked at him, and Tang Zhao said: "I didn't expect... the exam is not in the training camp?"
Dong Xingyu said: "Of course not. Not in previous years. Students are not informed of the training camp exams or even the examination rooms. They are only given clues to arrive on time. Those who cannot arrive will be eliminated directly. I tell you that this year's end point is Twilight City, you Don't let it slip in front of the students."
Tang Zhao also knew this rule, but he didn't expect that it would be held like this this year. Secondly...
Twilight City...
That's his hometown.
Speaking of which, he hasn't been home for more than five years.
I wonder if the big poplar tree in front of my house has grown taller again?
Dong Xingyu said: "Originally, I also wanted to ask, will this situation be a big deal this year? The mountain commander said that the plan remains unchanged. But fortunately, if we stay in the camp and take the exam as a family, we will be short of something. I don't know why. How about running it? It would be much better if four companies jointly run it, we can just use their manpower."
Tang Zhao said: "Four families..."
Dong Xingyu said: "Well, usually our three divisions take joint examinations together, and this year we will add the four divisions of the Commander-in-Chief Army's New Elite Battalion."
The so-called three divisions, namely the Prosecution Division, the Prison Suppression Division, and the Jing'an Division, are all directly under the Gaoyuan Hou Shogunate. The Prosecution Department sweeps the devil's cave, the Prison Suppression Department watches the devil's prison, and the Jing'an Department handles internal and external intelligence. The Governor's Central Army is the army of the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion. Marquis Gao Yuan is also the governor of Yunzhou, so the Chinese army also belongs directly to her. However, there are still subtle differences between the two direct subordinates. In the past, the two sides were in harmony with each other. Now that the two parties are united, it means...
Anyway, it has political implications, but Tang Zhao doesn’t quite understand it yet.
Dong Xingyu said: "This year, the four companies have joined forces, and the Chinese Army is new, so it will be hosted by the Chinese Army. This is a good thing. According to previous rotations, it was originally the home field of the Prison Suppression Division. The Prison Suppression Division is not dealing with us now. If they were at the home court, we would be short of manpower. We must suffer a loss. This time, we have to send someone to look after our own children, and there must be someone in the camp to take charge. One of us will lead the team, and the other will take charge, you can choose."
According to Tang Zhao's character, he should have resigned humbly and let Dong Xingyu decide, but when he just heard about Mu Cheng, his heart moved and he said: "Then I will lead the team."
Dong Xingyu obviously breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Just right. I also want to be at home. Then you can get along well with the senior students in the past two months. Let them trust you and listen to your words. In this way, you can feel at ease when you take them out. As for me, Just take care of the lower grades. The second big thing happens to be the recruitment of new students for the next training camp. We need to roughly screen the seedlings sent from various counties and cities and then arrange them separately. I heard that some are collected from Yinhuo Township. Special students are very troublesome. I will take charge of this matter, and you will assist. The two of us will divide the work and work together, one at a time, to overcome the most difficult period."
Tang Zhao said: "I understand. Leave the senior year to me."
Dong Xingyu acted neatly and immediately organized the senior class roster, training plan, textbook notes, etc. and handed them over to him. He also arranged accommodation for him, in the teacher's dormitory area next to the teaching building, a small building for each person, and said: "As planned, simulations can be arranged before the exam, it also depends on your plan. I don't care."
Tang Zhao admired Dong Jiaoyu very much. Although he was not very enthusiastic, he did things in an orderly and neat manner and was not too nosy. How could he not be difficult to work with?
After asking some more about daily life in the training camp, Tang Zhao said goodbye and went back to his residence to settle down.
After exiting the gate, I saw a young man waiting there, it was Assistant Professor Pei.
He hesitated to speak, and finally followed Tang Zhao and asked: "You...are you the child who died and came back to life?"
