Fang Lingjun has been a teacher all his life and is also a pure teacher.
It can be said that it is his dream to let all children in the world read books.
No, it was something he had never dreamed of before.
If someone else said that this ideal could be realized and that children would break the law by not going to school in the future, Fang Lingjun would definitely think he was crazy.
But the person who spoke was Jin Feng, and Fang Lingjun thought it was very reasonable.
Because Jin Feng has the ability to say this.
"Mr. Jin, do you really want to do this?"
Fang Lingjun, who had always been calm and calm, was breathing heavily at this time, and looked at Jin Feng expectantly.
"Of course, the relevant laws are already being formulated. When the time is right, I will let His Majesty announce this law and promote compulsory education as quickly as possible." Jin Feng replied.
"When will the time be mature?" Fang Lingjun asked.
"If you want to popularize compulsory education, you must first create a peaceful environment so that the people can be completely stable, and secondly, you must cultivate enough teachers."
Jin Feng said: "I will do the first point, but the second point needs to be done by your husband."
"Me?" Fang Lingjun pointed to his nose: "I am an old man, what can I do?"
"As I said just now, Xiaosheng, I want to build a university. The main goal of this university in the early stage is to train teachers who specialize in teaching!"
Jin Feng said: "I would like to ask you to come out and teach these gentlemen how to be a qualified teacher and how to teach students correctly."
"Teach others how to teach?" Fang Lingjun was stunned: "Is this still necessary?"
"Of course," Jin Feng said: "For the same teachers, some can teach children to recognize five hundred words a year, while some teachers can only teach children three hundred words a year, or less. This is the difference.
My husband has been teaching for many years and is the one with the richest teaching experience among all the teachers that Xiaosheng knows. If you are willing, I would like to ask you to teach this advanced teaching method to other teachers so that compulsory education can be realized as quickly as possible.
"
Fang Lingjun nodded, understanding what Jin Feng meant.
People's energy is limited, so if they teach in person, it would be great to teach literacy to dozens of students at the same time.
But if he teaches a group of people who are already literate how to teach students, it will be much faster than if he teaches it himself.
"I wonder if you, sir, are willing to come out?" Jin Feng saw Fang Lingjun's expression of interest and quickly asked.
"I'm just a common man. I'm honored to be respected by you, sir. Why wouldn't you want to?"
Fang Lingjun asked: "It's just..."
"Sir, if you have any concerns, just tell me. If the young man can solve it, we will definitely solve it!" Jin Feng saw that there was something going on and quickly assured him.
"I have lived in this bamboo forest all my life. I don't understand the rules of the court, and I am not very good at doing things..."
Before Fang Lingjun finished speaking, Jin Feng understood what he meant.
"Sir, please don't worry. I'm not asking you to go to Xihewan to be an official. You don't have to socialize with other officials. You just need to focus on running the school well. If someone brings trouble to the school, just come."
Find me!" Jin Feng quickly patted his chest and promised.
"Thank you, Mr. Jin!" Fang Lingjun stood up and saluted Jin Feng.
In the court, intrigues are inevitable. After Fang Cuntai resigned and returned, he kept complaining about the court.
Fang Lingjun had heard a lot and instinctively thought the court was scary, and he was full of resistance to joining the court as an official.
For this reason, when the Ninth Princess sent someone to ask him to come out of the mountain, Fang Lingjun refused without hesitation.
Now that Jin Feng has made a guarantee, he has dispelled this concern.
"Mr. Jin, since you have come in person and said so, if I don't agree, I will be disrespectful."
Fang Lingjun was much more upright than Tie Shixin, and immediately said: "Thanks to your kindness, I am willing to work for you!
But it will definitely be difficult to achieve the compulsory education that Mr. just mentioned. I hope that Mr. can persevere and not give up halfway!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Fang, Xiaosheng will definitely persevere!"
Jin Feng said: "And promoting compulsory education is not as difficult as Mr. Fang imagined."
"It's not that difficult?" Fang Lingjun frowned slightly, and his heart sank.
He felt that Jin Feng was a little arrogant.
Jin Feng did not explain, but took out a pamphlet from his pocket and handed it to Fang Lingjun: "Xiaosheng came here this time and prepared two gifts for Mr., I hope Mr. likes it."
"I don't need gifts." Fang Lingjun was really angry this time.
I also regret my decision just now.
"Sir, don't refuse in a hurry. Let's take a look at the gift first." Jin Feng put the brochure in front of Fang Lingjun: "The gift is not valuable, but I believe that sir will like it."
Hearing this, Fang Lingjun lowered his head and looked at the booklet.
After all, I have been a teacher all my life, and I quickly discovered the specialness of this booklet.
This booklet is made of paper, but it is not any kind of paper that Fang Lingjun has ever seen.
"What kind of paper is this made of?" Fang Lingjun picked up the brochure and asked curiously.
"It's the papyrus made by us in Xihewan."
"toilet paper?"
"Yes, a kind of paper made of grass." Jin Feng replied with a smile.
"Can grass be made into paper?" Fang Lingjun looked unbelieving.
Papermaking was also available in Dakang before, but the process was complicated, so the price of paper was very high and ordinary people couldn't afford it. That's why Fang Lingjun was so curious when he saw the pamphlet made of paper just now.
"Of course, thatch, wheat straw, or straw are all fine."
Jin Feng said: "I built a paper mill in the village, which can produce at least ten carts of this kind of white paper every day. In the future, as the workers become more skilled, there should be a lot of room for improvement.
If necessary, I will continue to build new paper mills elsewhere.
The cost of making paper from straw is extremely low. The paper made from one copper plate of thatch can print dozens of such brochures!"
"How is that possible?" Fang Lingjun stood up immediately.
Having taught all his life, he is very aware of the importance of paper in education.
If what Jin Feng said is true, then the price of paper will definitely drop rapidly.
By then, ordinary children will be able to afford paper.
Dakang is still too poor, and many people are unwilling to send their children to study because the cost is too high.
Not to mention the teacher's tuition fees, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, ordinary families cannot afford it.
If what Jin Feng said is true, then it is absolutely great news for universal compulsory education.
"The paper mill is in Xihewan. If Mr. Fang doesn't believe it, you can follow me to the village to have a look." Jin Feng said.
"I believe it! It's just that I was so excited that it made Mr. Jin laugh!"
Fang Lingjun understood that he had agreed to go out, and Jin Feng would not lie to him about this kind of thing, and there was no need to lie to him.
At the same time, I couldn't help but look forward to the second gift Jin Feng mentioned.
"Mr. Jin, you just said you prepared two gifts. Where is the other one? Is it related to teaching?"
