What impressed most people in the visiting group was that the full-time veterans of Fangcaodi were busy from morning to night, with almost no time for leisure. [No pop-up novel website] Of course, if any of these veteran teachers are counted, their eyes will be red when they look at the students, especially the female students.
"It's admirable that Mr. Kun has so much wealth and still teaches others tirelessly. My generation can never be as good as him." Liu Dalin said with emotion to Wang Ci. This kind of spirit of teaching and educating people must be admired by everyone who sees it.
"It's just that this Kun - taught by the Australians, is not the right way of the saints at all. As the saying goes, the way is not right, the more knowledge you have, the more reactionary it becomes!" Wang Ci said what he had learned from the lectures in the past few days.
Liu Jinshi rolled his beard and closed his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Although what the Australians taught is not the book of a saint, it is still the way of a saint. The ancient Australian saint said: All roads lead to Chang'an, and we cannot blindly stick to it. The past remains unchanged - in Lingao and Qiongzhou, the people live and work in peace and contentment - isn't this a rare form of governance?"
Wang Ci was dissatisfied. Indeed, the Australian people's skills in governing people and managing finances were unparalleled in the world. Even if the saint was resurrected, he might not be able to do more than this. However, he always felt that this was too deviant: As long as the people get practical benefits, does that mean they have implemented the saint's teachings? Since Australians do not use the teachings of saints to educate and govern the common people, what do they need scholar-officials and scholars to do?
Wang Jiaoyu felt a chill in his heart. He stopped arguing and walked away in despair.
In response to repeated requests from the visiting group, they were finally allowed to enter the library. The library at Fangcaodi is limited in size—most of them are primary school students, and there are not many books that they can read. However, the education of educators in the Senate and Fangcaodi is purely "materialistic", that is to say. The knowledge they learn, read and master is all focused on practical principles. Stories, fairy tales and the like that occupy a large area of children's books will not be published except for a few selected books with "educational significance". . As a result, the types of books that can be collected in this library become limited. Generally speaking, except for textbooks, political propaganda readers, and various dictionaries. That’s a lot of popular science books.
But even so, the scale of the 20,000-volume collection has stunned the visiting group - in this era when the publishing and printing industry is very backward, and the types of books are both small and expensive, a book collector with hundreds or thousands of volumes is a book collector. Only the government and the royal family can possess tens of thousands of books. It took the Australians a few years to equip such a school with so many books. This alone was enough to make them fall in love.
According to Hu Qingbai and Principal Zhang, this is really nothing. It is a national-level model high school with 42 teaching classes. The average collection of books per student must be at least 50. Even in an average middle school, each student must have at least 10 books to meet the standard. Yerba Buena serves as a complete school from primary to secondary schools. With 200 internal affairs classes and 6,000 students, even according to the minimum standards, there should be 60,000 books - Lingao's printing industry cannot be said to be very powerful.
When he saw the densely packed cabinets in the entire hall filled with books - Liu Dalin was speechless for a long time: there may not be as many books in Hainan as there are in this room. The visiting group lingered here for a long time. Looking through a book on the shelf. But I never watched it for long. They shook their heads and put it down. Except for a few, they found most of the books incomprehensible. Looking at the students who were reading at their desks in the reading room, Wang Jiaoyu suddenly felt like an illiterate peasant: It turns out that there is so much knowledge in the world, but he knows so little!
The strange skills of Kun Thief, which he once looked down upon, were creating miracles one after another in Lingao, but he knew nothing about it. He couldn't even understand the book when it was placed in front of him. No wonder Australians pay no attention to them, let alone take precautions against them. Let them visit as they please here. Thinking of this, Wang Ci put down the book in pain. I can't watch it anymore.
Huang Hankun browsed many books in the library, but he was still disappointed. It was not until he read a large tome, "One Hundred Thousand Whys" composed of many books, that he found a treasure - of course, There was a lot of content in this book that he still couldn't understand, but there were some chapters that he could still understand.
After first reading, I found that the content in this book can be said to be from astronomy to geography, and it has all kinds of knowledge. What's even more rare is that although the text is simple and short, it can explain various things in a simple and easy way. Understood, even a person like him who knew nothing about "Australian studies" could understand it to a certain extent, and he couldn't help but feel very happy: Isn't this the secret book of Australians? As long as you have this, the secret of the thief will be revealed at a glance! At the guide's side, Master Huang's breathing became rapid. He wished he had a pocket where he could hide all these dozens of books and carry them out.
However, several male and female teaching staff here kept staring at them closely. Huang Hankun looked at the opportunity for a long time, but could not succeed in stealing the book. He could only put down the book angrily and thought about how to find another way to steal the book. Walk.
When I was thinking about it, I saw a student copying and writing in a small book while reading. I couldn't help but feel happy. Since copying can be done here, all I have to do is ask Huang Ping to copy the book. If he can't handle it all by himself, the worst he can do is send two other boys to study.
At dinner that day, Wang Ci was waiting in line for a meal in the canteen, and as usual he ordered another portion for Jinshi Liu Dalin. There is no charge for meals for the visiting group, but the meals are on the same level as those for students, faculty and staff, and there is no special treatment.
The two of them sat down to eat. "Mr. Liu, these days have been really enlightening and beneficial. Australians are really very nice people."
"Australians are indeed very talented." Liu Jinshi knew that Wang Jiaoyu had something to say. He said a perfunctory sentence and waited for his next words.
"Australians are based on wealth! Sir, look at this school, the building is brilliant, and the library has hundreds and thousands of books. Let's talk about this meal. Every meal can have both meat and vegetables, and the polished rice is full. I have millions It can't be done. I'm not afraid of your jokes. The Australians served it last year, and the ingredients were so delicacies that I, a student, almost swallowed my tongue, haha."
"Sir, do you still think that Australians can achieve this because they are rich?"
"Chief, there are so many people here, why don't we go to the dormitory and have a chat." Wang Ci saw Liu Dalin starting to talk, for fear of being overheard in the cafeteria. This place is no different from other places, they are all Australian students. , if that sentence is wrong, the only Jinshi in the history of Lingao County may be doomed.
Liu Dalin waved his hand: "Oh, hehe, it's okay, it's so noisy here that the Australian secret method of distinguishing sounds is not allowed to be sold."
Wang Jiaoyu said: "If wealth is not the foundation of Australians, why do they work tirelessly to make money as their own responsibility? Not only do they make money, but they are also very mean in offering it themselves..."
"The purpose of collecting wealth is for national use." Liu Dalin said word by word, "Since ancient times, the imperial court has collected taxes, developed industry and commerce, and opened up financial channels in order to make the country rich. What Australians do is just for this reason. .Their roots are not here.”
"Please teach me, sir."
"Sir, please think about it, it's been **hundred years since Lingao was established as a county in the Tang Dynasty. In these hundreds of years, besides adding more fields and households, how many changes have there been in the Ming and Tang Dynasties? Mr. Wang too Those who have read the Qiongtai Chronicles and the County Chronicles of this county will naturally know."
"Yes, this county is a small border county after all, and there are Li people causing trouble. It is not easy to maintain the current situation."
"Exactly, since the founding of the county in the Tang Dynasty, we have only maintained and opened up this situation. Why did the Australians undergo such a big change that has not been seen in thousands of years?"
Wang Ci has not thought about this issue carefully. The most profound influence that Australians have on him is "luxury" and "making money". The main reason why many things can be done is because they can make money, and they can conjure up a steady stream of money to support them.
"Of course Australians can make money." Wang Ci said, "Many counties have to do good governance, but the county really has no money and no food, so it is difficult to do it."
"Haha," Liu Dalin smiled meaningfully, "Let's not talk about that. Since they can make money - why can they make more money than others? Isn't this still Lingao County?"
Wang Jiaoyu was stunned by this question. He had always thought that Kun Thief was particularly good at making money, but he had never thought about why.
After thinking for a moment, he returned: "Australians have all kinds of secret skills..."
"Come on!" Liu Dalin applauded, "Mr. Wang is right. Australians can make more money than others because they have secret skills that others don't have." He said, "In local farming, one strong laborer is equipped with one cow, but the only thing is to serve Twenty acres of land, the harvest is only over a hundred kilograms per acre in a year. You see Australians farming, one person is equipped with horses, cattle and those unknown iron guys to serve a hundred acres of land. One acre can produce one or two thousand catties a year, that's the difference."
Wang Ci suddenly became enlightened and nodded: "The mountain chief is right, not only farming, Australians do more and better than the local people in everything they do..."
"Not bad," Liu Dalin said. "It's not so much that the Australians can make money as they can make more food and cloth. Moreover, they have secret methods for building ships and roads. They can build roads quickly and build ships and fight. If there are few things, they can be transported from far away. If there are more things, they can transport them in from far away." It can be sold outside and adjusted to ensure good harvests, which will neither hurt farmers nor make everything more expensive. With this approach, how can Australians not be rich?"
"The mountain chief is right!" Wang Ci nodded excitedly. Although Liu Jinshi's analysis was simple, it was extremely clear. He had thought about this before, but never thought of it so thoroughly. Yes, the Australians are able to bring about great changes here that have not been seen in thousands of years. Isn't it because they possess various "secret skills" and have "productivity" that the locals can't match? (To be continued...)
