The discussion of Yu Xu's group was regarded as a model by the school and hung on the bulletin board on the school wall, sealed with glass. Emperor Fangxun and various princes came to inspect the ideas and abilities of the children in the school, as well as the teachers' His moral character and educational level were all highly praised.
Open class, this is another new thing tried by the Central Plains Senior Tour Group. Di Fangxun saw Uncle Xi. The old man had more gray hair than when he came to see him, but he was in good spirits and The tired look in the past was completely different, and he even looked more radiant. Although his hair had grown gray, he looked younger mentally.
Di Fangxun's spirit suddenly became a little dazed.
These four ministers who once helped him formulate the calendar of the four directions and observe the movements of the sun, moon and stars are all too old. Xizhong's son found him last year and told his father that he could no longer hear the sound. , the eyes are also completely dim, like blindness.
"The environment can change a person's state. The south is a good place. Seeing that Uncle Xi has become a bit younger and is even using his spare time in education, even I want to live here."
Emperor Fangxun sighed and lowered his voice. The princes also had the same opinion. Among them, Subo even thought that after he retired, he would come here to find his father Kunwu and buy a house for free... .
Uncle Xi looked at the students, looked around the entire school with a serious look, and then wrote the topic on the board. The students opened the books. Di Fangxun had never seen textbooks made of this kind of paper.
In this era, there were even very few slips. Only large tribes and wizards with rich knowledge could write bamboo slips. Bamboo slips were the longest-used form of books in ancient Chinese history. From the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, it was the main writing tool before the invention of papermaking and the popularization of paper.
Its original significance is very important, because its appearance liberated writing from the small circle at the top of society for the first time, and made great strides towards the broader society with great momentum.
After the wizards changed careers and the wizard system fell apart, the wisdom on the bamboo slips began to spread throughout the world.
But now, with the advent of paper, bamboo slips are destined to become a foil for records. Di Fangxun knew that Hongzhou’s history books still used bamboo slips to record facts, and even used stone tablets as an aid. Yu Zai’s answer to this was to use sturdy materials as much as possible. Something to preserve the truth of history.
The mission of paper is to spread culture, while the mission of bamboo slips and stone tablets is to pass on culture.
The emperor and the princes also got several textbooks. Comparing the pages and articles on them, Emperor Fangxun learned from other teachers who attended the class that this volume of books would be used for one year, and a new volume would be replaced in the second year. , and the basic learning time for children is two years. If you want to learn more, you can. If you don’t want to study, you can at least learn to read and write in two years.
"The school was opened last year, so these children will leave here this year?"
"There will be new children coming in. If this education continues, within ten years, everyone in this land will be able to do basic arithmetic, read and write, and know some basic knowledge of astronomy, geography, water conservancy, and herbal medicine. and identification of animal species, views and discussions on social issues, legal and moral education, basic chemistry and basic physics...those with outstanding performance can be assigned to various walks of life to do what they are willing to do work."
"In this way, it is passed down from generation to generation."
The teachers' replies made Di Fangxun's heart throb, and he had an inexplicable feeling. The children grew up, and new children continued to learn this rich knowledge, and then generations of people possessed lofty virtues and wealth. knowledge, as well as advanced production technology means.
Countless talents have emerged, and even if some of these people are mediocre, there will definitely be places where they can be used in this world. For example, they can be sent to more backward areas to do basic education and construction work, and to bring the uncivilized people to the forefront. Become enlightened, break away the ignorant, and open up the chaos.
Emperor Fangxun was indulging in his own fantasy world and wanted to copy Hongzhou's education model to the Central Plains. However, outside the school, Yu Zai came to the playground with another prince and talked about the western region. things.
"Master Hua, you said that the Western Queen's Motherland has lost contact with the Central Plains?"
Hua is the old prince who lives on the edge of the Wei River, near Mount Taihua. He told Yu Zai that after the girl named Marquis Xuan returned to the mother kingdom of the West King, the West had lost contact with the Central Plains and had not received any messages in the past two years. Any bit of news, the entire Western Wilderness seemed to be silenced and silenced.
Yuzai understood instantly.
Gonggong must have typed too fast and kept insulting other neighboring countries. He also became famous and killed people everywhere. As a result, the entire Xihuang server was banned from operation for two years.
Hua told Yuzai that this matter was difficult to handle. It was said that the little girl was going back to participate in the next election of the Queen Mother of the West. She went back early and planned to use the new technologies she learned in the Central Plains to gain a foothold in the Western Wilderness. But now, because of the Gonggong incident, the area ruled by the Queen Mother of the West is in danger.
After Ruanzai thought about it for a while, Hua Ze suggested:
"Since the time of Fuxi, the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West has gradually turned from a legend into a reality. In the eyes of the Chinese people, it is just a larger state. Their dominance over the land under their rule is very weak. Now there are Gonggong and Dihong in the northwest wilderness. War broke out in the Sanwei Mountains outside the Western Sea, and monsters resurrected in the Snowy Mountains. The spearheads of these things are all aimed at the Mother Kingdom of the Western Queen."
"Among the Four Wildernesses, if there is no king in the Western Wilderness, then chaos will occur. As Baikui of the Central Plains and the prime minister of the world, you should take some actions and reactions to this. Once the Western Wilderness is in chaos, then the Central Plains will be in chaos. They will be threatened. The armies of the Western Wilderness, the warriors, and the war, originally refer to the threat to the Central Plains from the people of the Western Wilderness."
"Xirong's food and clothing are not the same as those of Huaxia, Dongyi, and Hongzhou. Zhi's currency is unclear and his language is not fluent. The differences in living habits, etiquette, and language are even greater."
Yuzai nodded.
The Western Queen Mother Kingdom may have encountered a dilemma. As the saying goes, if there is no such a big king to control the little kings below, those little kings will jump up and invade the land of the Central Plains. Since ancient times, the west and the north have coveted the central land. Xirong Beidi , after these tribes mastered the technology of nomadic herding, they posed a great threat to agricultural civilization.
The Rong and Di were strong and rugged, causing trouble throughout the ages.
Yu Zai: "I know, I can't control it anymore, right?"
magnificent:"?"
"Almost, almost..."
Hua is already familiar with Yu Zai's strange way of speaking, but after all, he is old, and it takes a little time to understand and reflect it.
"North of Yinshan Mountain, west of Qilian..."
This was the bottom line of ancient China's struggle goal. Basically, we only need to fight west and north, or at worst, hit these two places, guard the two mountain ranges, and drive out the nomads.
However, Yu Zai said that it is not a big problem now.
Even if Gonggong made a set of horse gear, he already had firearms. Without armor, the horse would be a mess in front of the firearms... Hongzhou doesn't just have black powder. Don't forget its power. Huge yellow gunpowder.
