Weixue, as the name suggests, is a school of health.
The school system of the Ming Dynasty was personally formulated by Emperor Hongwu. Schools were not only academic education facilities, but also official institutions.
However, there is also a difference between health science and health science.
For example, the health school of Huguang Jingzhou Health School where Zhang Juzheng studied was a serious official school with 20 junior students, 20 Zengguang students, and 10 affiliated students.
Huguang Jingzhou Health School also has the qualifications to hold scientific examinations and select people to participate in the township examination. Its status is the same as that of county schools. And because it only recruits students with military status and military surplus students from Jingzhou Wei, the competition is smaller than that of county schools.
As for Changning Health School, it is only a private school where teachers are recruited from outside. There is no government funding and no qualifications for students.
Although Changningwei's health school is only a private school, it is already quite remarkable to be able to run a private school.
Aunt Ninth fell into memories. When she was young, the southeast region was not so chaotic at that time, and Changning Guard was still a very prosperous health center.
Aunt Ninth still remembers the sound of Wei Xue reading loudly at that time.
Changningwei's health school was established during the Fourth Patriarch's period. The health school also allocated money to the health school and hired tutors from outside to teach the children of Changningwei to study and gain enlightenment.
At that time, there were many families in Changningwei who had enough to eat, and they wanted their children to study and become enlightened, so they could try the imperial examination.
However, the children of Changning Wei have little talent in reading. Since the establishment of the health school, there have been no scholars who have passed the county and government examinations to obtain the qualifications of students.
As Changning Health began to decline, the health institute began to be unable to afford the cost of health education.
You must know that health education requires more than just hiring a tutor, you also need pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and you also need to purchase teaching materials.
Going to health school requires full-time study, which means that the family has one less labor force, and health school also needs to pay for the tutor's tuition. As time goes by, more and more children of the health school withdraw from health school.
I don’t know when the strict tutor in the Health School left. Without the teacher, there was no sound of reading in the School of Health.
Aunt Ninth returned to reality from her memories. She looked at Su Ze and said:
"With the health center like this, we can't afford a health school, and no one will send their children to a health school."
Su Ze quickly said: "My nephew knows it, but he has no plans to recruit more students. He just wants them to have a place to study."
Aunt Ninth said again: "The guard station can't afford the money for pens, ink, paper and inkstones."
"It's okay, you can use the sand table to practice calligraphy first."
Su Ze was afraid that Aunt Ninth would refuse, so he added: "It's not like we want them to take the imperial examination, it's just about literacy. They just need to read for half a day every day."
At this time, Aunt Ninth finally nodded and said: "The health school has been abandoned for so long. I'm afraid the tables, chairs and benches are no longer usable. Can you try to repair it?"
"I'll go and talk to my grandpa over at the ancestral hall and ask for some books from the School of Health."
Su Ze immediately said: "Thank you so much, Auntie!"
Aunt Jiu was the priest of the Wei Suo Family Temple and was also very prestigious in Changning Wei. With her intervention, the family temple agreed to hand over the original Wei Studies to Su Ze and also gave him the books on the Wei Studies from that year.
.
However, the old man also made a request that Su Ze, in addition to Lin Liangjun and Lin Cainiang, take three other children from the guard school to study for free.
Su Ze naturally agreed wholeheartedly. After all, he had to drive one sheep and lead two sheep. He originally wanted to take two carrot heads to study, so it didn't matter if he took three more.
In this way, the health school behind the ancestral hall was reopened. Su Ze and two carrot heads worked hard for a day and finally completed the cleaning of the health school.
The original tables and chairs were no longer usable, but Lin Liangjun, a little carrot, was quite well-connected in the guardhouse. One of the children he played with was the grandson of a master craftsman in the guardhouse dock, and Lin Liangjun pulled the child to play with him.
Ban also signed up for the health school, and then took Su Ze to pull the broken tables and chairs to the dock.
The dock is located on a slope near the sea. Changning Guard is a sea guard, so it naturally needs daily maintenance of warships. The dock is managed by Lin Xianzong, a master craftsman, and his craftsmen are all his apprentices.
This was the first time Su Ze saw Daming's dock, and he looked at the building curiously.
This shipyard is built on a gentle slope near the sea. The entire shipyard occupies a large area, with warehouses and various workshops in front of it.
After passing through these workshops, Su Ze's vision suddenly opened up. There was a huge open-air workplace near the sea. The fortune ship was suspended on a row of beams. The shipwright Lin Xianzong and his apprentices were nervously repairing it.
.
Su Ze looked at this huge open-air workplace in surprise. Before the time travel, Changningwei's shipyard had long been abandoned in the Qing Dynasty, and not even the ruins were left.
In the genealogy records, there are only a few words about the dock. What is known is that the dock occupies a very large area, and there are supporting workshops such as a lumber workshop, an iron nail workshop, a rope making workshop, and an anchor workshop.
When he saw this dock in reality, Su Ze was shocked by the hugeness of the dock. What shocked him even more was the lucky ship that was placed in the dock for repairs.
The last time the warship returned, Su Ze was tied up in his family temple as a Japanese pirate. After the Fu ship docked at the port, it was towed into the dock for repairs. He never had the opportunity to see this Changning Guard warship.
Now I see that this lucky ship has three decks and a length of nearly 20 meters, which is more than half the length of a basketball court!
The hull alone is seven or eight meters high, and there is a ship building above the deck. The ship building is surrounded by armor protection made of bamboo.
There is a huge mast on the ship, which is the main sail of the fortune ship. The main sail is not made of cloth like the Western sailboat, but is made of thin bamboo strips woven like blinds.
sail.
Just the amount of bamboo strips used on this sail made Su Ze's scalp numb. How much effort is required to make such a sail!
In ancient times when there were no machines, Su Ze couldn't believe how much effort it took to build such a warship!
Lin Liangjun, the little carrot head, saw Su Ze's surprised look and said sternly:
"How's it going? Our Changning Guard's warship is worth two hundred materials! It is ranked among the best ships in the whole of Fujian!"
Su Ze nodded. Before traveling through time, he knew that the shipbuilding industry was developed in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise there would be no Sanbao eunuchs going to Southeast Asia.
But seeing such a huge warship with his own eyes, Su Ze realized that the shipbuilding industry in the Ming Dynasty had reached such an extent. This lucky ship was not worse than European sailing ships at all, and even had some features that were better than European sailing ships.
Lin Liangjun pointed to the suspended lucky boat and asked: "I'll test you again. Do you know how this boat is suspended on this beam? If you can answer it, Cainiang and I will call you brother!"
If you can’t answer, how about you call me brother?”
Lin Liangjun looked at Su Ze with his hands on his hips. The country bumpkin looked shocked just now. He must have never been in a dock. Even if he is a scholar, he cannot know everything! He will definitely win this time!
Su Ze looked around and said with a smile: "What's the difficulty? When the tide comes, the sea water will rise. The dock will open the gate to let the sea water into the dock. After the sea water has submerged the beams, the warship will be pulled into the dock with ropes.
Wait until the tide goes down before draining out the seawater, blocking the gates so that no more seawater can come in, and the warships are suspended on the beams."
Lin Liangjun was stunned. He didn't expect Su Ze to understand the principle with just one glance. Is reading really so good?
