Of course, it was not necessary for all three of them to go to Xuanfu again. Ye Huiling took two of Li Yongtai's female apprentices and a few guards for a trip.
She was quite capable, and she actually persuaded the old lady to inoculate everyone in the Geng family, including Geng Ruxi, with cowpox.
She did not say that the gods blessed Huang Yi with the power to prevent smallpox, but that Huang Yi brought back the secret technique of preventing smallpox from Franji Kingdom.
The Chinese pay attention to the fact that foreign monks can chant sutras, stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, and they believe in mystical and divine arts.
In addition, Huang Yi's magic was passed down in the Geng family, and a needle in his arm did not hurt or itch, so it was easy to gain trust.
Geng Zhanghua trusted Huang Yi even more and did not bother to demonstrate whether vaccination with cowpox was scientific. He directly ordered the entire army to accept the magic of the gods.
The 1,500 armored servants and the 2,200 Dubiao battalion soldiers are well treated, highly loyal, and obey orders without compromise.
It only took three days to complete all the vaccinations.
But at this time, no one knew whether this magic was effective, because the smallpox plague had not started to spread in Xuanfu and Datong.
After Huang Yi came back, he learned that Zuo Fanglian, Ye Huiling, and Xiaojiu not only made money for the base area, but also brought back more than 4,000 people, mainly young people, and he was greatly appreciated!
For those who have made such great achievements, they must be promoted and given spiritual and material rewards based on the consistent principle of clear rewards and punishments in the base area!
However, the three women don't want any awards, they just ask the master not to let them start another family. They just want to stay with the master and serve him for the rest of their lives.
That is because they all know that the master is going to marry the eldest lady, and they also know that the eldest lady has a prominent family background and will definitely have many maids and wives as dowries.
I'm afraid they, these nameless and statusless young women, can no longer stay by the master's side.
Huang Yi never thought about this at all. He needed people to do things, and even more educated people to handle daily affairs as civil officials.
I never thought about letting them leave. The original idea was that even if they got married, they would have to continue doing the work they were doing.
They are unwilling to marry and are willing to stay by their side. It is unfair to them. It should be a dream for Huang Yi!
So Huang Yi sincerely expressed his opinion and stated that as long as they are willing, his home will always be their home.
He also emphasized that they were free. If he liked someone and was willing to get married, he would buy them a generous dowry as his natal family, so that they could get married in glory.
Summer is here. After several heavy rains, the Bashang grassland with green grass and green grass is extremely beautiful.
Under the blue sky, the sheep are like floating white clouds, and the mountains and fields are covered with unknown wild flowers, which are colorful and beautiful.
The cool and pleasant summer in the base area should be the most comfortable season.
Xinghe City and Dongshan Fort are bustling with people. Thousands of migrant workers are building the cities. Not only these two main cities, but also a dozen strongholds are also under construction.
The stronghold is not a city and covers a small area, but it is larger than the beacon tower of the Ming army and can ensure the garrison of a hundred troops.
This kind of bunker-like stronghold is all made of concrete foundations and built with stone cement mortar. It is impossible for cold weapon cavalry to attack it.
Since last spring, Governor Xuanda has issued official documents instructing the governors of Datong, Xuanfu, and Shanxi to cooperate in accepting refugees and providing relief to the victims.
Therefore, many refugees from Shaanxi and Shanxi are gathered and sent out to Zhangjiakou every month. The maximum number is three to four thousand in a month.
In order to increase the population, Huang Yi spent a lot of money and food. The results are now reflected in the fact that the Han population in the base area has exceeded 60,000.
This number is still increasing at a rate of one to two thousand or two to three thousand a month.
It is estimated that by the end of the year, the total population of the Han people will reach 80,000 or 90,000, exceeding the population of the Yinying people who have surrendered.
Popularity is so important. With the popularity of the base area, this hot land will be full of vitality.
All the people are engaged in large-scale production and construction, and children under ten years old are studying and literate in schools.
During the day at school, children under the age of twelve study, and in the evening, teenagers and adults over the age of twelve study for an hour.
Various industries are waiting to flourish in the base area, which requires too much labor force. Adults work five hours a day, and young boys aged twelve to fifteen also have to work four hours.
No matter what job you do, you must ensure that you read and learn literacy for an hour in the evening. Classes are held in factories and farms far away from the school. Town governors at all levels are responsible for teaching literacy and arithmetic.
Of course, the schools in the base area did not teach Eight-part essay, and the teaching materials were basically adapted from the content of primary schools of later generations.
The main content is to teach literacy, arithmetic, and some basic common sense. It is not a six-year program, but only three years.
Of course, Huang Yi wants to attend elementary and higher education. The teaching materials for elementary and higher education are being improved, but the school has not yet opened.
It’s not because there are no students or lack of funds. The most important reason is the lack of teachers.
Among the Han people in the base area, there were dozens of children and even seven or eight who claimed to have been Liaodong students, but Huang Yi did not want these people to teach the so-called Four Books and Five Classics.
After the children have learned reading, literacy and arithmetic for three years, Huang Yi's plan is to select a group of teenagers with strong learning abilities to attend junior high schools and teach them mathematics, physics, chemistry and geography.
So Huang Yi is now taking some time off from his busy schedule to train teachers who can teach mathematics, physics and chemistry according to the textbooks.
The textbook is not a problem. Huang Yi only needs to modify the relevant information saved in his mobile phone. The most important content is of course to rename some laws and formulas.
Otherwise, the laws of Ampere, Ohm, Joule, Newton, etc. could not be explained to the young students of the Ming Dynasty, and of course they would not be able to understand them.
The primary stage of education in the base area is literacy, and we strive to ensure that there are no illiterate people between the ages of ten and twenty within three years.
We will strive to spend seven years so that the vast majority of people under the age of 40 and above can master more than 1,500 commonly used words.
In order to attract more children to enroll in school, schools in the base area are not only free but also provide a lunch.
Mere inducement is certainly not enough, but coercion is also required.
According to the local Basic Law, every child over seven years old must be sent to school regardless of male or female parents. Parents who violate the regulations are sentenced to three years of reform through labor.
Children in primary school not only learn reading and literacy, military training is also the most important course.
After one year, every primary school graduate in the base area must be able to skillfully use a flintlock rifle.
hey-hey! Equip the Boy Scout who can write and count with a flintlock.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. The loyalty and fighting enthusiasm of the boy scouts are unparalleled. Maybe even the slave-building Bagala cannot defeat them.
This is not Huang Yi's whim. During World War II, both Germany and the Soviet Union had children who destroyed several enemy tanks.
Facts have proved that the Boy Scouts have no distractions and are more loyal and fearless of death!
