Alien Arms Empire

  Chapter 31 31 School

“Both men and women should be divided into three rows and stand in order of height, with the short ones in front and the tall ones in the back.” Roger ordered loudly to a group of children who were in a mess.

Hearing Roger's shout, some older children who were apprentices in the factory immediately started to stand in line, while those children from the surrounding civilian homes were still a little confused.

However, as some children began to stand in line, other children also followed and stood in three rows driven by curiosity.

The few girls were relatively shy and did not speak. They just stood in the crowd with their heads lowered, being squeezed here and there by the passing boys, just like a few little doormats.

Tang Mo frowned and glanced at the children standing sparsely in front of him. To be honest, he is not satisfied with these children. Because of the lack of education in this world, these children who are already very old have no discipline at all.

They were sloppy and very procrastinating. Even when Tang Mo asked them to gather together, it took them a full ten minutes before they stood together sparsely.

 When the children were completely quiet, Tang Mo waited for another three to five minutes. Fortunately, these children still had a natural awe of Tang Mo, so after Tang Mo was silent for a long time, they finally recalled their fear and became quiet.

 Originally, the plan to let these children take a bath in the river and get themselves as clean as possible was canceled while waiting.

"I am Tang Mo! I will be your teacher from now on... My request to you is very simple, remember! I have given you everything!" Tang Mo said with his hands behind his back, looking at the children in the open space.

"I know..." The younger ones, who were only seven or eight years old, and the older ones who were about the same age as Tang Mo, responded cautiously and somewhat unevenly. Obviously, discipline will be the first thing Tang Mo has to teach these children.

"From now on! You only need to answer, yes or no!" Tang Mo scolded sternly.

"Ming...is..." A group of children were a little confused, but at least there were a few smart ones who started to answer according to Tang Mo's request.

"The voice must be loud! Otherwise I can't hear you!" Tang Mo emphasized again.

 “Yes!” A group of children immediately replied at the top of their lungs.

Tang Mo glanced at old Roger next to him. He had already told him beforehand, so Roger immediately stood there with his hands behind his back and his head held high as he had practiced before.

 “Roger.” Tang Mo nodded to him.

Roger took out the school rules written by Tang Mo, took a step forward with a straight face, spread out the paper and read the contents on it: "Article 1 of the school rules, Principal Tang Mo's words must be obeyed."

The children below stared at Roger nervously, listening to Roger talking about these school rules that they seemed to understand one by one, and they didn't know what they should do.

They never dare to look around, because they don’t know whether such a free learning opportunity will fly away because of their small actions. They were more cautious than Tang Mo thought, and even seemed to be fighting against all odds.

Although they are not disciplined yet, Tang Mo can feel their eagerness to learn. It only takes some time, and Tang Mo is confident that he will turn them into the most cutting-edge elites of this era!

Tang Mo listened to him shaking his head and chattering, and couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart. It took Roger three days to memorize this paragraph. He couldn't read at all, so he was just pretending to hold the paper. But these children didn't know that when they saw Roger talking to the paper, they couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in their hearts.

The school rules of more than two hundred words are not very long, so after Old Roger finished reading them, some of the older apprentices had already realized that they were about to embark on a new terrifying journey. In fact, these school rules are nothing special, they are just so strict that they are scary.

Each article is followed by strict punishment measures, ranging from hitting the palms with a pointer to confinement and corporal punishment.

For example, Article 7 of the school regulations reads: "Those who refuse to execute Tang Mo's rules will be detained in a solitary room for 3 days and expelled from the school, never to be hired again."

 Article 9 of the school regulations is: "Those who commit crimes such as theft will be placed in a solitary room for one day and will be expelled from the school."

 The reason why he mentioned being expelled from school repeatedly was because Tang Mo didn't want a bad apple in his school.

 On the one hand, this clause is used to deter parents and students, and on the other hand, it also allows them to promptly eliminate those stinky fish and rotten shrimps that affect others and ensure the quality of students in their own schools.

Since he hasn’t had time to implement compulsory education yet, he takes this opportunity to let himself go and educate these naughty children hard, so that they can experience the warmth of the spirit-injecting rod!

The older factory apprentices among the children knew Tang Mo’s temper, so they understood that the family rules they just read were no joke, because many of these rules and regulations have already been reflected in the factory discipline regulations.

“We’ll meet again tomorrow, I’ll only give you one minute! Do you understand?” Tang Mo asked in a stern tone with his hands behind his back. “Yes!” These older apprentices once again replied with loud voices.

"Too much time has been wasted today." Tang Mo did not show his satisfaction. He glanced at Old Roger beside him and ordered: "I will leave the rest of the time to you! Memorize these school rules. Come down! Only those who have recited it can leave! Roger, Wes... watch them. If you don’t recite them, you won’t be able to come back again!”

A group of children were stunned on the spot and had no idea why the school rules had to be memorized. They watched Tang Mo leave indifferently, and then realized that they might be in trouble.

Being sent here to study by their elders, they obviously can't just go back - if they can't do their jobs, they will definitely be beaten.

 The problem is that if you really only need to be beaten once, it will be over if you endure it for a while. But if the school is not finished for a day, the comparison among the elders in the family will not dissipate, and life will definitely not be easy by then!

 So they didn’t dare to run away in the face of battle, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay. After all, they are all still teenagers. How many of them really have the courage to let themselves go?

 But reciting these things is obviously a bit difficult - some of them don't even know a few Chinese characters!

However, it was obvious that Roger and Wes were well prepared. The two of them divided the team in half, one person and one half, and each took them to a relatively secluded corner.

 Then they explained the rules clearly, and then began to read the school rules over and over again, like chanting a sutra.

 After reciting it five times, they will pause and ask if there are any students who have memorized it. Seeing that no one answered, he began to read aloud again, tirelessly.

Tang Mo, who returned to the office, began to spread out the data that Roger collected from door to door yesterday on the table, and carefully organized them.

 It is not easy to get these children to study. In addition to promising free study, he also tried his best to arrange a reasonable study time for these children.

 This is not an era when education is generally valued in later generations. Children are also part of the labor force for a family. Many children work as apprentices in factories, and some children help farmers at home. There is a lot of work to do.

Furthermore, Tang Mo does not have a full set of teachers to provide a full-time school for these children. He doesn't have enough space, he doesn't have enough teachers, and he doesn't even have enough time for himself!

 So, the best solution is to let these children stagger the time, and it is up to him to arrange such time.

Moreover, according to Tang Mo's vision, these children do not just need to learn cultural knowledge. They also had to find time to exercise and complete physical training. Some of them were very talented, and Tang Mo even had to focus on training them to become true henchmen.

 In short, everything is just the beginning, and we still have to work hard to move towards the predetermined goal.

Tang Mo rubbed his neck, turned his head, glanced at some drawings drawn beside him, sighed depressedly, and got busy at his desk.

 On the temporarily leveled land, a test for these children continues. Wes felt that his throat was going dry. None of the children in front of him had memorized these **** school rules.

Roger wasn't much better, but he was smarter than Wes in that he brought a kettle...

"No. 5, 51, group, unity among friends, friendship...help each other, don't, don't abandon classmates..." Finally, more than an hour later, the little apprentice who helped Tang Mo as a bomber, first They memorized the school rules and completed the first assignment assigned by Tang Mo.

 And he also became the first squad leader candidate selected by Roger for Tang Mo. Then another young girl recited the full text of the school rules, and she became the second candidate for class president.

 When Roger and Weiss finally watched these new students recite the school rules and returned to Tang Mo's office exhausted, Tang Mo was studying the new factory with Matthews.

"The new factory building pipelines need to be rebuilt, and the old renovation is really a waste of time. We strive to do our best and find a way to make no changes within two years." Tang Mo pointed to the architectural drawings and said to Matthews emphasized.

 “Two years?” Matthews was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tang Mo who was swearing.

"Why, it's too long?" Tang Mo was also stunned, thinking that Matthews was more radical than himself.

Matthews looked down upon Tang Mo and corrected Tang Mo's "wrong" thinking: "I mean it was too short! You know that Cyric's factory may not have changed much in ten years."

"Ten years? Are you kidding me? Trust me, Matthews! These machines that you regard as treasures now will be in museums in ten years." Tang Mo put his arm around Matthews's shoulders and said calmly.
