Chapter 277 Teaching
When Lei Yuan and others came here, it was lunch break. Standing at the school gate, you could see some young people in Cuju on the campus deep in the manor.
Cuju is a military skill that has been passed down for hundreds of years. During the competition, we must not only "research and explain the words, like political punishments." We must also use the collectivist spirit in the army, the willingness to unite and cooperate, and the fighting spirit to win. "It will be practiced because of play."
Cuju, which Lei Yuan promoted in the army, also particularly enhanced the confrontation between the two sides and encouraged the bodies of the two teams to collide. Therefore, the soldiers even put on simple leather armor. After every fierce confrontation, they would be exhausted, making it difficult to cope with their studies in the afternoon, but they still enjoyed it.
Lei Yuan recognized many of them. For example, two active figures on the field at this time, one was tall and majestic, rushing around, and the other was thin and dry, sensitive and changeable. They were two capable Dubos under Wang Bei's territory: Luo Xiao and Qian Yue. In Lei Yuan's impression, Luo Xiaopo had made the merit of beheading and defeating the enemy, and Qian Yue had a lot of experience in lurking and surrounding the enemy.
The Lujiang Lei Family Division was nearly 4,000, and there were more than 40 officers at the level of Chief Qu. According to the agreed rules, each Chief Qu could only recommend one subordinate to enter the school. However, Wang Bei was from Lei Yuan's entourage and could not help but have some small privileges, so he recommended both of his capable subordinates.
There are ten people in the two teams participating in Cuju, and there are still hundreds of people watching the game around the school ground... Among them, half are old soldiers who were injured in previous battles and forced to retire, and half are young Dubos and Shizheng who were trained for their meritorious service.
They were the first students in Sanxia Primary School. Although the courses they studied were different, their daily lives were in the same place, which gave the old soldiers the opportunity to pass on their own experience and let the young students learn something that was difficult to explain clearly in the classroom.
But the really important content is of course in the classroom.
The reason why Lei Yuan wanted to run such a school was that what Lei Yuan needed to instill in the soldiers could only be taught in such a school.
Take the old soldiers as an example: Lei Yuan had previously appointed a considerable number of retired veteran soldiers as village officials and local officials, and invited several Confucian scholars to station in various pavilions and houses, once every five days to teach basic knowledge and skills. However, this model has progressed slightly slowly, and secondly, because the Confucian scholars often dispersed the contents required by Lei Yuan and taught something that they thought was important. Some people even taught prophecies and divination such as three subjects, nine decrees, and four deletions... This was immediately stopped.
Township officials and local officials only need to learn the most direct solution, and only need someone to tell them step by step how to solve the grassroots affairs.
How to arrange and repair the fields that should be maintained by our company? How to mobilize ten families in our company? How to arrange shifts to be fair?
In the society, the oxen and farm tools are urgently needed in spring plowing. Where should I apply for it? If I can’t write, who can help draft documents? How should I arrange for others to serve the oxen after it is allocated? What is the right feed?
There are two young and strong men in the club who are recruited by the school. It is said that they went to Zigui, Jiangbei to build a city. They have not returned for two months and there is no news. How should I ask this? How to apply for verification from my superiors?
Our society is not the residence of the Lei clan of Lujiang, but an ordinary citizen under General Zuo. So how should we calculate the levy? What is the rule of redeeming money and grain? How should we apply for the reduction and preferential treatment for disabled people?
This is the case at the level of the society, and the matter at this level is even more complicated. The written orders of township and county officials are often just a few words of Xuande Ming's grace, suppressing the rape; when it comes to the grassroots level, each piece has different practices and different requirements. The extra bucket of millet per month is not so easy to get.
What can't be done? What can I do?
It is not possible to rely on the Spring and Autumn Period classics, and it is even worse to rely on the learning of prophecies and divinations. It is necessary for experienced people to teach them step by step to do practical things.
In the past few months, many old soldiers subconsciously returned to the military camp to ask their old bosses. For example, Ren Hui encountered such a situation several times. But what should Ren Hui do? He has been in the army for 20 years and has all his life experience on the battlefield. He is proficient in the tips of advance and retreat of the golden drum, and the use of swords and halberds. Otherwise, let me tell you?
Of course this won't work.
Therefore, it can only be solved uniformly here. A few days ago, Lei Yuan summoned reliable managers from the clans such as Xin Bin, Zhou Hu, Huang Xun, Cen Peng, and Song Shui to come forward and asked them to rotate every five days to directly tell us the knowledge that can really solve the problem.
When we have a rough concept in this regard, we will add some basic morals such as farming and sericulture knowledge and loyalty, filial piety, rituals and morality to understand social order; we will use "The Book of Filial Piety", "Primary School", and "The University" as basic textbooks.
The entire learning process is only one month in total. After the old soldiers in front of them have learned it, they have to recall the people they had previously released and rebuilt them. On the one hand, they have consolidated their ability to handle affairs, and on the other hand, some of them are indeed capable of doing things, and on the other hand, they can also be promoted by this opportunity.
Lei Yuan will appear in such short-term training every five days and preach and teach to the officials. The contents of the officials are not necessarily ruled. Sometimes when talking about the general trend of the world, sometimes when talking about simple numerical symbols, and sometimes when analyzing some simple financial management knowledge. Of course, this is just to use this opportunity to instill some new ideas into his subordinates, without having to force the officials to use new knowledge immediately.
Lei Yuan is busy with work and has a very tight schedule, so the person who is actually in charge of this school is Xin Bin, who is gradually detached from specific affairs.
Xin Bin came from the Xin clan of Yingchuan. He studied classics and was highly respected and was beyond the reach of others. Lei Yuan appointed him as the literary officer in this county.
Literary officials are usually appointed as noble positions by officials above the county. They are said to participate in the Confucian education and customs of the county. In fact, they are more like the ministers of the lord's literary servants. It is very appropriate to place Xin Bin in this way, and they can also make use of his talents.
Xin Bin is naturally very happy to do this. Not to mention anything else, just by establishing such a school official system, Xin Bin became a teacher of a group of students... Xin Bin himself still attaches great importance to this point and has fulfilled his promise at the moment.
What Lei Yuan considered was not only targeting officials, but also targeting grassroots soldiers.
He took Ren Hui and walked into the primary school. While watching the school buildings along the way, he said: "In the long run, we will list the relevant teachings separately and become military academy."
"Military school?" Ren Hui asked.
Lei Yuan nodded: "That's right. Civil officials need education, but no military personnel need it? At present, the primary school accommodates selected Du Bo and Chief. If conditions permit, all officers above the chief will need to enter the military academy and receive training; and even Chief Qu, Sima, the captain, and even myself, I need to receive training."
Ren Hui said in surprise: "What... what to teach in this military academy? Who will teach?"
"What to teach?" Lei Yuan asked with a smile: "There are many things worth teaching. The ones we discussed in the camps set up in Ganning have been compiled into documents and distributed to each camp. I would like to ask, Uncle Jing, have you really asked the subordinate officers to study and discuss carefully?"
Ren Hui was shocked.
He was a general of the Han military. He had always been through military affairs for a long time. He had a set of methods of using troops and training troops accumulated over the years. Although he followed Lei Yuan, he had some of his own persistence in this regard. Therefore, he was inevitably indifferent to Lei Yuan's requirements for reviewing the battle and summarizing the experience and lessons of his experience.
But Ren Hui is a fake Sima! His duty is to lead Lei Yuan’s headquarters on behalf of him. If Lei Cheng rushed back from Guangzhou, his command sequence will still be after Lei Cheng. Is it appropriate to perfunctory Lei Yuan’s orders in Lei Yuan’s headquarters?
Ren Hui and Lei Yuan are not old acquaintances. They have been promoted to the army in just one year since they took thirty people in the mountains. They have been promoted one after another. They can lead the headquarters of the sect leader. Recently, they have received the kindness of the sect leader and get married... The more this happens, the more cautious we should be, the more loyal we should be, and put the opinions of the sect leader first!
I was negligent! I was relaxed! Ren Hui wanted to slap himself twice.
For a long time, Lei Yuan has been generous to his soldiers, but it would be ridiculous to regard him as a mediocre lord who is easy to fool. Such powerful men, who combine military and political positions and clan power, can be conquered by life and death for their subordinates, and no one can restrict them!
At this moment, sweat dripped from Ren Hui's forehead: "Sect Master! I, I..."
His tall and strong figure was a little scared, probably trying to apologize, but he didn't know how to speak.
Li Zhen and other entourages also looked serious.
Lei Yuan looked at Ren Hui's nervous look and found it a little funny.
Lei Yuan did not think Ren Hui had made any big mistakes. This type of experienced veteran soldier was particularly useful when he started his career; however, their experience shaped them and restricted them, making their thinking relatively stubborn and unwilling to easily accept new things. Therefore, if subsequent control is not good, they will also become an obstacle.
There are more than one officer like Ren Hui who has begun to show slackness, so beating Ren Hui is also for others to see.
Lei Yuan glanced at Li Zhen, believing that this young man who is becoming smarter will spread today's situation in time.
"Don't mind too much." Lei Yuan waved his hand: "From today on, you will also come here to serve as an instructor. Don't slack off and lead the young people well."
Ren Hui smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that my talents are limited and I'm not able to compete with them, and I'll let down the love of the sect leader."
Lei Yuan patted Ren Hui on the shoulder: "Among these thousands of children of the songs, few have seen the complete Han army system. Most of them are from bandits and refugees, and have only combat experience tempered by actual combat, but there are very few summaries, and there is no systematic military management method. That's why you need your teaching... Don't panic, this military academy will only serve grassroots officers at the level of Du Bo and the Chief. I plan to take half a year to train all grassroots officers here for training. The specific course content is currently mainly focused on honing personal martial arts and commanding small-scale combat. Lao Guo and Lao He are all considering it, and you can also participate."
Ren Hui was a little relaxed. If he only talked about the secrets of marching and fighting at the grassroots level, there would be no problem.
