After leaving Yichun Palace, Bai Zhong saw that he still had time, so he rode out of the city directly to Shi'an Township.

Regarding Zhang Cang, Baizhong should cultivate a relationship first. If there is an opportunity or possibility in the future, he will bring him to Shi'an Township and ask him to teach mathematics and other knowledge.

If there is no chance, or Zhang Cang refuses, Bai Zhong can only teach him the mathematical knowledge he still remembers, and then carry it forward.

When I came to Shi'an Township, I saw that the school here had already been built.

Lingzhi and the others were very fast, and they even moved all the printed books over. Just waiting for the enrollment to start, everything was almost ready.

"Juzi, I'm going back to find you."

Ling Zhi said: "We are almost done, how should we recruit students next?"

They had briefly discussed issues in this area before, but had not formally determined a specific plan.

Bai Zhong thought about a rough plan and said: "Let the three elders publicize it in the township first, saying that we can teach students in the entire township to read and read. Of course, tuition is required, but it won't be very expensive. It's ten dollars a month. What do you think?

"

Ling Zhi asked: "How many students will be recruited?"

"The first batch, fifty."

Bai Zhong calculated the amount and continued: "After one month, there will only be five hundred yuan for tuition. If it is not enough, use my token to ask Zijin for money. If there are too many people recruited, this will be the first time.

Do it, I’m worried you won’t be able to handle it.”

It was their first time as teachers, and they were really worried that they didn't know how to teach. It would be better to have fewer people.

In terms of money, the reward Baizhong received from a battle was countless, but it was really not enough money to use, and he could drag Qin Qing into trouble in the future.

"This is just the right amount."

Ling Zhi thought about it for a while and said.

Bai Zhong added: "There are many things to consider for the first batch of enrollment, especially the students. Not all children are suitable for reading and literacy. I thought of the simplest method. We give a few words and let the children copy them on the sand table.

, select the fifty children who write the best among them as the first batch of students."

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhi nodded in agreement: "It's the giants who have more ideas. According to what we discussed at the beginning, the fifty places are first come, first served, but the first batch with the best handwriting has been selected by us, and there will be more in the future."

The second batch also couldn’t write well, which made it more difficult to recruit students.”

This is indeed another problem.

All the children with the best handwriting were selected.

The remaining children are still not good at writing. They will sign up for the second batch. Should they be recruited or not?

"The second batch will examine their family situation, the conduct of their parents, and even the conduct of their children. All we need to do is let the three elders and the others check it out."

Bai Zhong does not yet have the Confucian idea of ​​teaching without distinction. At present, he just wants to cultivate a group of people suitable for carrying forward Mohism as soon as possible. He continued: "As for the number, you will decide according to the ability of the first group. It is tentatively planned to recruit new people every year."

Once a new batch is recruited, the old batch will be called the second class. There are six classes in total."

He also briefly talked to Ling Zhi about the primary school system in later generations and the methods for grades one to six.

"We are also worried about how to deal with the problem of new and old batches, and Juzi has thought of a solution again."

Ling Zhi became more and more impressed.

However, Bai Zhong's ability can only reach the sixth level. If he continues to go up, he will need Ying Zheng to take action and issue some laws. If a child of about six years old can smoothly go from school to graduation, he will probably

Just twelve years old.

These six years were enough to teach them a lot of things and impart a lot of ideas.

In this special era, literate people could learn the Qin laws and regulations, participate in legal questions and answers, and then become Qin officials. They could also do other things. There were more opportunities than farming.

I really don’t have much ability, but I can raise a child at the age of twelve. After graduation, I can go back to work for the family. When I’m old enough, I won’t miss the chance to do corvee service.

They will also spread the Mohist ideas subtly and teach them to those close to them, or other relatives and friends.

You can also select suitable people from among students to join the Mohist family and develop new members.

This is the preliminary idea of ​​Bai Zhong and Ling Zhi. They haven't thought of the deeper idea yet, so they will finish the first step first.

"After some time, I will leave Xianyang and station in Wuguan."

Bai Zhong had another idea and continued: "At that time, you can give half of your people to me and follow me to Nan County to establish a second academy. What do you think?"

"Of course!"

Lexus agreed directly.

The more schools there are, the wider the spread of Mohism will be.

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Let's start building the academy here within one or two months. I'll go find Zhuang Yu."

Zhuang Yu also acted very quickly. Under his deliberate publicity, many people from nearby towns and villages got the news and rushed over, looking at the school curiously.

Soon, people came to the pavilion which was relatively close to the village after hearing the news.

As more people gathered, some began to whisper and discuss whether the school was real, whether it was reliable, etc.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

Bai Zhong felt that he needed to give a speech to deepen their memory and promote it better.

The farmers who were whispering suddenly became quiet.

"Our school will officially enroll students in a few days. Children over six years old who are interested in reading and literacy can be brought over to register. However, we only need fifty people to register for the first batch. It is not free teaching. Our

The fee is ten yuan a month..."

Bai Zhong briefly explained to them what they had just discussed.

Others, they feel are no longer important.

Of course the important thing is money.

Ten yuan a month is not expensive, and many poor people can afford it.

If you learn to read and write, you may change your destiny.

They were instantly full of interest and anticipation.

Bai Zhong finished everything he needed to say, and the atmosphere was about the same. Seeing that it was getting late, he handed over the next matter to Ling Zhi. He just paid for it, and Ling Zhi and others were responsible for handling it.

"All of us in the Mo family, thank you so much, Master!"

Ling Zhi sent Bai Zhong off gratefully.

Bai Zhong just smiled and waved goodbye to them.

If this thing can be done, it will be of great significance. It can also change the ancient intellectual group, and even change the way and means of knowledge dissemination, making everything different.

Return home.

Bai Zhong unexpectedly found that Ying Shu had also arrived and was chatting happily with Lan'er and Yu'er.

"Good man!"

Zhou Yu asked expectantly: "When will the princess come in?"

Bai Zhong didn't know when he would enter the door, so he responded: "It's better to wait for the king's arrangement."

"How about the princess staying in our house first?"

Bai Lan and the others seemed to have become best friends with Ying Shu, just like Dan'er at that time.

Bai Zhong agreed: "If the princess agrees, I will be happy to ask for it."

"agree!"
