Su Yonglin is quite satisfied with such enlightenment education.
In the Age of Enlightenment, people were allowed to develop the concept of family and country, and to understand the connection between home and country, instead of being limited to the narrow concept of family. This will play a very important role in breaking down the ultra-stable social structure system of Confucianism in the future.
It is very important to make changes starting from the new generation through enlightenment education, lead the Chinese people's ideological concepts from the family era to the family and country era, transcend the shackles of one family and one surname, and make people have the concept that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country.
Although the concept of family is indeed narrow, in that era when the feudal government only cared about itself and ignored the people, it was understandable for families to gather together to keep warm and protect themselves.
Because there was an irresponsible court that only wanted power, the ancients had a strong sense of family. When being bullied by the court, the whole family could at least work together. If there were more people, the government would be more afraid.
And if the court can take responsibility, gain the trust of the people, and no longer act recklessly, as long as power does not require responsibility, then the concept of family self-preservation will naturally decline.
All in all, to forge iron, you need to be hard-working. Su Yonglin believed that if the Ming Dynasty wanted to break the ultra-stable social structure system of Confucianism, it must carry out all-round innovation on itself, and strive to innovate the superstructure to drive major changes in the grassroots society.
But in the final analysis, this teaching environment is indeed a bit poor.
"Besides this shed, is there no better place to use as a classroom?"
Su Yonglin looked at the slightly dilapidated shed and shook his head, asking Li Hao who was standing next to him.
Li Hao shook his head.
"The conditions in the village are not that good. Everyone has just enough to eat. They use the remaining money to buy food and clothing, or save it for emergencies. The village also wants to build a good home for the children. The house I ordered was used as a school, but I couldn't afford the money.
As of now, the county has squeezed out money to equip us with these. The county is in financial difficulty and it is not easy to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones for young children. That is to say, there are few people in our village. I also heard that some villages have too many people. , there are even situations where two or three people share the same pen. "
Su Yonglin was speechless after hearing this, walked a few steps slowly, and sighed deeply.
"I still don't have enough money and my foundation is weak. If I had a stronger foundation and gritted my teeth, I could still provide enough pens, inks, papers and inkstones. It wouldn't be difficult to build a wooden house that is sheltered from the wind and rain, but now..."
After thinking about the wrinkles on Lin Jingchun's face, the wrinkles on his forehead, and his thinning hair, Su Yonglin really didn't want to continue to force him to come up with more money.
"Your Majesty, I also know that the Ming Dynasty is in a difficult situation. It is still building the Yellow River and cannot get the money. We will suffer for a while. There will be a time when we can live a good life. When the time comes, we will have everything we should have. Now we will Bite your teeth and stick to it.”
Li Hao had a high level of political consciousness and led Wang Erhu to show their political consciousness.
Su Yonglin laughed when he saw the sincerity on their faces.
"This is not your fault, and it is not something you can solve. It is my responsibility. It is my responsibility. Don't worry, give me a few years, a wooden house that can protect you from the wind and rain, a table and chairs, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone. It will all happen.”
What Su Yonglin said was not a cliche, he didn't intend to deceive anyone.
The current financial difficulties are because the Ming Empire has a lot to do, and it has not yet fully controlled the country's population and production.
Based on census and data calculations, Su Yonglin believed that there were at least 60 million people living in the Ming Empire, but a considerable part of them could not be directly controlled by the court because they were reduced to tenants and hermit households.
This part of the population was on the private land of the landlords and gentry, working on their farms, and the wealth produced was basically captured by the landlords and gentry, and the amount of taxes the court could get from them was quite rare.
Therefore, it is difficult and slow to collect taxes in quite a few areas.
Of course, Su Yonglin has many ways to deal with this group of guys, including legislating to force them not to collect more taxes from tenants, and forcing them to spit out tenants and hidden households.
But until the tax collectors and judicial officers sent by Su Yonglin were in place and began to exercise their power, everything was as it was.
Su Yonglin still lacks grassroots officials who can implement his will, so he can only roll out this policy slowly with the central capital as the center. Some remote areas still don't know when such a policy will be implemented.
So Su Yonglin also found it a bit funny. The policy has been formulated but cannot be implemented. What is the difference between that and not being formulated?
Perhaps this is also the case, so after the "Ming Law" was formulated and spread all over the world, it did not cause much trouble in the world - there were simply not enough manpower to implement it, and the local government was still the same, and maybe they were still laughing at him for ordering it. The law does not know when it will be enforced.
So, as expected, it was better to take advantage of the opportunity and flip the table quickly.
Launch a decisive and decisive action to eradicate them all and rescue the farmers from their misery as soon as possible.
The direct benefits obtained after completing the revolution will definitely make the lives of these farmers much better, and the large amount of tax revenue and food obtained after directly controlling the tax population can definitely support the Yellow River Project and increase Su Yonglin's reserves.
The hidden benefits after clearing away internal troubles will benefit the entire Ming Dynasty a lot.
Although there will be some labor pains, after getting rid of the stubborn diseases and blood-sucking worms on the body, the Ming Dynasty will be able to move forward lightly.
So if anyone dares to provoke Ming Guo at this time, he will make these guys look good.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Yonglin became more determined.
Before preparing to leave the village, Su Yonglin also went to the office of the village farmers' association and looked through some important documents they recorded after the liberation of the village. While looking through these important documents, Su Yonglin discovered a little thing.
"There are quite a few typos here."
Su Yonglin picked up a document that recorded the number of households in the village and the amount of property. He saw that there were many typos on it and the writing was crooked. It looked like it was written by a villager.
It is impossible for Fuxing members to graduate without mastering certain reading and writing skills. This is a mandatory requirement.
Sure enough, Li Hao took it and took a look and handed the document to Wang Erhu.
"Erhu, take a look for yourself. What's the writing like? You made a typo when I wasn't paying attention? Didn't I teach you many times? Why are you still writing it wrong?"
"this……"
Wang Erhu looked a little embarrassed: "Maybe it's because our brains are not good. We are stupid and forget what we have learned. There are too many things to do and I can't remember to ask. This..."
Li Hao could only shake his head helplessly, took out his pen and taught him to correct it word by word.
Seeing the two of them teaching and listening, Su Yonglin smiled and shook his head. He was about to continue reading, but suddenly an idea flashed and he thought of a key point.
Learning to read and write from scratch is a long-term process and cannot be completed in three or two days.
Especially in large-scale literacy campaigns, we are faced with a large number of illiterate adults and even middle-aged and elderly illiterate people who have passed the high-efficiency learning and growth period. It is more difficult for them to master reading and writing skills than for young children to master reading and writing skills.
Members of Su Yonglin's ruling group, including soldiers, are all part-time workers.
Especially for officials, preparatory officials, and revival members, when they became illiterate, they separated from production and focused on learning. After a period of intensive and concentrated study, it is not difficult to master reading and writing skills.
Even soldiers also need to engage in heavy military tasks and training tasks. Under such circumstances, Su Yonglin adopted Xin Qiji's suggestions in order to make army soldiers literate.
When marching, let the soldiers carry literacy boards on their backs, so that the soldiers behind can read the words on the literacy boards behind the soldiers in front while marching. Marching and walking will not delay learning, which increases the time for soldiers to study.
Usually, the entire military camp is hung with banners full of words. The words are never taken away from the eyes, and they study intensively twice every morning and afternoon.
Such intensive literacy training will definitely have a very good effect, allowing soldiers to quickly become illiterate and quickly become literate people with the ability to read and write.
The subordinates of his ruling group were able to quickly become illiterate and become educated people because they had the conditions for concentrated learning, which was not available in ordinary villages.
