Iron Dynasty

The two hundred people were properly placed, and Xiao Ming asked Chen Wenlong to register Lu Tong and others the next day, and put them all into the equipment department.

This time, there were a total of 231 people in the strong years, most of whom were 13 to 20 years old. Those who were older were likely to be family members, so they chose to leave.

Who among you can read?

After the registration, Xiao Ming asked, now he needs to check the knowledge level of these people.

The place was silent.

Xiao Ming instantly understood that none of the two hundred or so people were literate, which was also what he expected. After all, this era was an era when the rate of knowledge penetration was extremely low.

And this is also destined to require a long process for the cultivation of these people. Even if the overly complex technology is taught to them now, they cannot understand it.

After all, the technology spar can only transmit knowledge and present various technical steps in their minds in the form of images, and the application of knowledge requires realistic exploration.

For example, blast furnace iron making and paper coke burning are all things that Chen Qi really mastered after many failures. What he taught Chen Qi was only technical knowledge, and Chen Qi understood and mastered this technology in practice.

But at least one thing about the technology spar is gratifying, that is, when Xiao Ming imparts knowledge to them, the other party can easily remember the knowledge he imparted.

Although it is impossible to remember it, it is still possible to retain 80% of the memory at one time. In this way, the efficiency of teaching will be greatly enhanced.

In this case, the first thing this king does is to teach you to read. Xiao Ming said.

This group of people will be the core technical backbone of Qingzhou in the future. It is definitely not acceptable for them to be illiterate, but Xiao Ming will not teach them traditional Chinese characters, but intends to teach them vernacular characters.

In the future, the technical documents in Qingzhou will be written in vernacular, which is also for the confidentiality of technology and information. Of course, even if the vernacular characters are generally understood, the people of Dayu will definitely be able to recognize some, but only 50% of them do not recognize them. It's enough to come out.

In order to speed up the memory of Lu Tong and others, he adopted modern Pinyin teaching, and taught them little by little from the most basic characters.

In the morning, he taught Lu Tong and others all the pinyin, and checked their learning results. They were very satisfied with the results. Each of them memorized more than half of the syllables.

In the afternoon, Xiao Ming did not teach them how to read, but taught them mathematics, from the simplest Arabic numerals to addition and subtraction within ten.

In general, what he teaches in a day is much faster than the normal curriculum of elementary school students. One is that they are older and have higher self-discipline than elementary school students, and secondly, they are highly motivated to learn.

In this era, being able to read is a very noble thing, and people have always been eager to get what they lack. At least today, Lu Tong and others are very focused when they are in class.

In the evening, Chen Wenlong brought a plaque and wrote on it: Bo Wen Tang, this is the positioning of this yard, and it will be the education base of Qingzhou in the future.

Lu Tong, take them to review their knowledge at night. Now you don't need to undertake other work, and there are servants to take care of them.

Lu Tong is the most active among these teenagers. Chen Wenlong came over with the plaque, and he ran over sensible to help hang it up.

His Royal Highness, I'm waiting for He Dehe to have this preferential treatment. How can we repay His Highness's great kindness and great virtue? too big.

Xiao Ming smiled and said: This is only temporary, when you have learned your true skills, then you will need to serve the king, then you can think about how to repay this king, now you can teach this king to Your learning is to repay this king.

Yes, Your Highness. Lu Tong said.

At present, the two hundred or so people are all teenagers. Xiao Ming is afraid that Lu Tong can't suppress these teenagers of the same age, so he said to everyone: From today, this is Bo Wen Tang, and there will be more people coming here to study in the future, I hope you Can cherish the opportunity in front of you, if any of you do not want to make progress, this king can only give him some money, let him make a living, don’t blame this king for being ruthless, just choose you to come here to revitalize your homeland, not allowed. A little mistake, now this king has appointed Lu Tong as your senior, and all of you must obey his orders.

A group of teenagers bowed and said, Yes, Your Highness.

Xiao Ming nodded. The term senior in the Great Yu Kingdom means that the superintendent of the secondary school of the school leads the students in each class to abide by the rules of the school and cooperate with the teachers to educate the students. Now that he has opened the school, he must be more formal. , there should be jobs.

After explaining Lu Tong a few more words, Xiao Ming and Chen Wenlong left the school, and the guards in front of the school closed the door.

Xiao Ming stipulated that every seven days, the students of the academy can travel for one day at will, and they must study in the academy at other times.

His Royal Highness, can the dog also come to this school to listen to His Highness's teaching? Chen Wenlong said suddenly when he entered the palace from the side door of the alley.

Xiao Ming laughed, Why does Chen Bingcao suddenly have such an idea.

Going back to His Highness, the dog is ignorant of talent and knowledge, but he is a little clever. If he doesn't make progress every day, he will be embarrassed and useful in the future. Chen Wenlong said.

As sons, parents must plan for the long-term. Although Chen Bingcao is strict with Chen Qi, he is also eager to love his son. Chen Bingcao can rest assured that there is a place for Chen Qi in this liberal arts hall. Xiao Ming said.

Chen Wenlong showed a look of joy, His Royal Highness thank you for your love.

Xiao Ming waved his hand, You are all the ministers of this king's humerus, that's what it should be.

Chen Wenlong's body trembled slightly, a humerus minister was enough to make him deeply moved.

After thanking him, Chen Wenlong went back. He wanted to tell Chen Qi the news.

Luluo has been following Xiao Ming today, and now she can't help it anymore and asks: Your Highness, what you taught today are all strange things, why have I never heard of it.

Both Luluo and Ziwan had read books, so they naturally knew that what Xiao Ming taught Lu Tong and others were not regular words, but some strange words in her opinion.

This is the king's secret, don't tell the public. Xiao Ming smiled.

Luluo nodded, not daring to ask again.

At this time, the dinner in Wangfuzhong was ready. Unlike the embarrassment two months ago, the food now is a bit richer. In addition to pastries, there are also some stir-fried vegetables.

In addition to the fact that the palace now has silver in the treasury, it is also because the merchants gathered in Qingzhou and brought a wealth of commodities.

A few days ago, Xiao Ming asked the equipment department to specially build an iron pot for the palace, and with the addition of a coal ball stove, the hardware for cooking is now available.

His Royal Highness, this is the chicken you want. He sat down at the table, Pao Ding brought the iron pot up, and the smell of chicken in the ground came out, and Xiao Ming couldn't help swallowing.
