After watching the helpers eat, Yun Chao took several scholars to the original school.
The students had already finished lunch and class had just started.
Yun Chao did not want to disturb the order of the classroom, so he did not take Jiang Wen and the others into the classroom, but just watched from the window.
At first glance, several readers were almost in tears.
A large, dilapidated house, more like a barn than a house.
Well, it's actually a barn.
Because there were not enough classrooms in the village, Cao Yufeng's son Cao Wanjuan volunteered and was willing to teach children in the livestock shed on the north bank of Wolong Valley.
This is the second batch of students enrolled in the school. The first batch of students took classes in the original classroom in the village, and were taught by several women.
Even if it is a livestock shed, the area is still limited, and there is simply no room for so many desks.
Some children have tables, some only have stools, and some don't even have stools and can only stand and listen.
Even though the conditions were so bad, the children could still listen to their teacher's lectures with full concentration. This scene deeply shocked them.
Looking at this group of poor children with patches piled on top of each other, and then thinking about the scenes when they were naughty and mischievous in school when they were children, several of them have red eyes.
What were the conditions for going to school when I was a child, and what are the conditions for these children?
With such good conditions at the beginning, if I had the monographs of these children, how could I not even pass the provincial examination when I was over thirty?
Several scholars immediately felt sympathy.
stay.
Must stay!
They exchanged glances with each other, and for no other reason than the enthusiasm of these children to learn, they decided to teach this book by themselves!
If there are so many sensible children, if they are taught well, how many pillars of the country can they produce!
Yun Chao was almost not happy when he saw several scholars who were so moved.
Can these children not study hard?
If you don’t study hard and get good grades, where will the rewards come from?
Without rewards, how can you afford the gadgets you invented?
If you don't learn well, how can you recognize the IOU written by their ancestors to the Lai family?
If they can't recognize the IOU, they won't be able to take it back, and their parents will beat them to death!
It has to be said that Yun Chao's carrot and stick method is really effective in dealing with a group of children.
Children from poor families have been in charge of their families for a long time. Despite their young age, they are all sensible. There are not many fools. They are much more motivated to learn than the naughty children of later generations.
After looking at the livestock sheds on the north bank of Wolong Valley, Yun Chao took Jiang Wen and the others to the school in Wolong Village.
The classrooms here aren't barns, but they're not much better.
The dilapidated classrooms have a density of students higher than the livestock sheds on the north bank of Wolong Valley. They are so packed that there is almost no space left.
Like the children in the barn, many children do not have desks or even stools. They are squatting and standing everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Wen and the others couldn't help but sigh.
In addition to sighing, the teacher who was giving the lecture gave them an even greater shock!
During the meal before, Yun Chao said that there were not only male students in the school, but also female students and even female teachers.
At that time, they thought Yun Chao was bragging and didn't take it seriously at all.
Now when I look at it, I can see that Yun Chao is really not talking nonsense. The person in class is really a big girl!
Not only are women teaching, but many of the students attending classes are also girls.
A little girl was standing and endorsing the book, and seemed to be answering questions.
"...Isn't it right to learn and practice it over time? Isn't it a joy to have friends from far away? A person who doesn't know but is not stunned is not a gentleman..."
Such a young girl has learned the Analects of Confucius, and she memorizes the words correctly and meticulously, and her attitude towards learning is more serious than many boys!
After watching for a while, Jiang Wen waved to Yun Chao, and they left the classroom.
"Inspection, I really didn't expect that in such a difficult environment, the children in the school can still study so hard. I was short-sighted before. Who said that poor families can't produce rich children? It's just that we don't have the conditions!"
Several other people also expressed a lot of emotion:
"Yes, patrol inspection. When you see these children, even if you don't let me teach, I have to stay. Really, even if you don't give me a salary!"
"Inspection, I wonder where you found the female gentlemen. What is their salary?"
"this……"
Yun Chao was a little embarrassed: "To be honest with you gentlemen, the salaries of the female gentlemen are not high, each of them is only twenty taels."
"ah?"
The way several guys looked at Yun Chao was wrong.
Although the Great Wu Dynasty favored boys over girls, Yun Chao treated both teachers very differently. After listening for a while, that girl was good at teaching, so why did she give her only two taels of silver?
oh!
Understood!
No money!
No matter how dilapidated these classrooms are, so many students don't even have desks and have to stand to listen to lectures, which shows that Yun Chao is really poor.
The limited money must have been used on various projects such as building schools and houses. There is not enough money to pay salaries to female teachers!
"Inspection, we can lower our salaries a bit and raise them appropriately for female teachers, otherwise..."
A few guys were too embarrassed to say that if those women ran away, the four of us wouldn't be able to survive. There were so many students and we would be exhausted.
Yun Chao scratched his head in disbelief: "Gentlemen, don't worry. The conduct of these female gentlemen is very noble. They don't care about their salary."
A few guys just rolled their eyes.
I seriously doubt that Yun Chao is scolding himself.
What does it mean that their conduct is very noble and they don’t care about their salary? Are we the only ones who care? Are our morals no longer noble?
As soon as Yun Chao's words came out of his mouth, he knew he was a bad guy.
I'm used to joking around with a bunch of boys under my command. I often lose my mind when talking. No one was paying attention just now. It seemed like I offended someone?
So, Yun Chao quickly went back to make amends: "Haha, I was wrong. It's not that they don't want money, it's mainly because they have a good relationship with me... Ahem, it's not that, it's mainly because they have a relationship with me..."
Yun Chao was speechless. What happened to him today? His IQ was always off the mark. Could it be that these scholars had some kind of negative aura that affected him?
"Ahem, to be honest, there are currently three female teachers in our school. One is the daughter of Dr. Zhao, a drugstore on West Street in the city, one is her maid, and the other is Wu Er's sister-in-law. They are all our own. , so all I ask for is a friendly price.”
It took several scholars a long time to realize what Yun Chao meant by the friendship price.
Jiang Wen straightened his face: "Inspection, this is your fault. Since several female gentlemen can ask for the friendship price, why can't I? My three friends are still paying the original price, but I am different. Please save me." I have a little girl who is my benefactor. If you don’t give me the price of friendship, you are looking down on me and don’t treat me, Jiang Wen, as a friend!"
Yun Chao: "..."
