Li Xiao has been living quite comfortably recently. He inspects the company's situation during the day, and then continues to study Russian. Now he can communicate in Russian fluently. In addition to exercising his weak muscles, he spends the rest of his time.
The body is responsible for teaching and writing lesson plans in cultural cram schools.
The latter two tasks occupy most of his time and energy. Education is indeed very, very difficult, because you have no way of predicting what kind of weird things your students will have.
Of course, Li Xiao is well aware of the standards of his students. It must be quite painful for these senior students, most of whom have never been to school for a day, to re-learn. Especially during the day, they have heavy military training.
I was trained to be as tired as a dog, and then I had to listen to those drowsy cultural classes under a dim kerosene lamp at night.
The teaching progress was predictably slow. It took a whole week for all the soldiers in the company to basically master the Cyrillic alphabet, which was slower than a turtle crawling.
"Company Commander, according to the current teaching progress, it will probably take ten years to teach these people to read and write!"
"But they're certainly not going to serve in the military for ten years, so what's the point of our work?"
"I'm sure that as soon as they leave the military camp, these lazy guys will forget all the words they have learned!"
What Li Xiao didn't expect was that it was not the students who rebelled first, but the hard-working gardeners. It only took three days for the convicts and soldiers who were captured by him to go from being very excited to being depressed. If not for the fourth day,
He personally urged them, and these teachers all wanted to give up their jobs.
Of course, this only allowed the teachers to persevere for four more days. The extremely slow teaching progress and stupid and ignorant students made the teachers' enthusiasm for teaching as good as a successful scumbag disappear so quickly.
Li Xiao could only continue to encourage them: "Gentlemen, our teaching progress is indeed unsatisfactory. There are more difficulties than imagined... However, this does not mean that our work is meaningless!"
"...We will definitely encounter huge challenges when we start, but the significance of our work is not to challenge backward traditions, enlighten and educate ignorant Chinese people, let them open their eyes to the world, and let them talk about the ignorance and ignorance of the past.
Goodbye..."
"...If we cannot overcome even this difficulty, we will never be able to explain our doctrine and our ideas to the general public... Our country will always be closed, backward and ignorant, until it is destroyed!"
"Gentlemen, I believe you don't want to see this kind of result! And our job now is to ignite the spark, be the morning star, and be the pioneer. Everything you do now will be remembered by history and will remain in the annals of history forever!"
It has to be said that Li Xiao's encouragement is quite effective. He has captured the most urgent psychological needs of these people - they need recognition and praise. As long as they have a little encouragement and stimulation, they will regain their strength and stop killing gods and Buddhas.
Block and kill the Buddha.
Of course, just injecting chicken blood is not enough. Mental stimulation must be supplemented by material things. In addition to praising the teachers every day, Li Xiao also gave them special treatment with a wave of his hand. They no longer need to do hard labor, nor do they have to work hard.
You need to go out for work. During the season when water drops turn into ice, you can stay in the warm company headquarters to read, debate and write. Except that you can't leave the camp, you can be considered free and free. The food is milk and meat every meal, coffee in the morning and black tea in the afternoon, and one meal a week
A big meal on a small stove is quite nourishing.
This made Boris envious and jealous: "As for giving such good treatment? They are just hard labor prisoners. If they don't work honestly, they will dig coal!"
"You can't just use force against educated people," Li Xiao curled his lips and said, "Using a whip to drive them to work is completely different from using a carrot to lure them to work... Besides, it doesn't cost much money, just three or five people.
How much can you eat? Besides, my royalties are quite sufficient!"
When it came to the manuscript fee, Li Xiao was in a daze. Originally, he just planned to write something casually to fool Leonid, but who would have thought that the deputy leader took it seriously and spoke highly of Li Xiao's article. In addition to constantly saying
In addition to communicating about the content of the article, he also helped Li Xiao submit the article.
With the endorsement of the crown prince's aide-de-camp and the prince's son, Russian domestic publications have given the green light to publish many articles. They have even sent articles abroad, and even professional publications in Britain and France have published Li Xiao's articles.
It has to be said that the Russian literati of this era were in pain and happiness. What hurt was the heavy shackles imposed by Nicholas I, which could make people breathless. But at the same time, Nicholas I had great feelings for those who were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
Literary men who say good things are also generously rewarded.
At that time, Pushkin received a huge amount of sponsorship from Nicholas I so that he could live and work in St. Petersburg and marry a young and beautiful wife.
Nicholas I even spent a lot of money to put makeup on his face, and even made a big joke about it. In 1839, in order to change his image of being overbearing, autocratic, barbaric and rude in various European countries, Nicholas I went to the most useless book in the world.
At Kendorf's suggestion, he invited the famous French writer Marquis de Curtins to travel to Russia and planned to ask the marquis to write some articles praising Nicholas I.
The plan was quite good. Nicholas I and Benkendorf both took it for granted that Marquis Curtins, as a descendant of a nobleman who was guillotined during the French Revolution, supported it because both his grandfather and father were beheaded by revolutionaries.
Despotism, one should appreciate the great absolutist monarch Nicholas I.
But the final result was that after returning to China, Marquis Curtins published a book "Russia in 1839", which severely ridiculed Nicholas I and his autocratic court. The Marquis said in the book:
"Only if you have lived in the desert of Russia can you appreciate the freedom of other European countries."
"Everything is suppressed there, cowered by fear, everything is eerie and silent, everything is blindly obeying the invisible stick!"
"The most insignificant person, as long as he can please the Tsar, can become a very important figure in Russia... As the Tsar said: 'In Russia, the noble is the person who is talking to me. And only when talking to me.
, he is the noble!'"
"Many countries had slaves, but to see so many palace slaves, you have to go to Russia."
"Everything in Russia is illusory. Moscow is such a 'beautiful' city! It keeps showing me the most ridiculous objects in history: there is the largest bell in the world, but it has never been able to ring. And
The biggest cannon in the world, but it can never fire a cannon ball."
Naturally, Nicholas I was so angry that he cursed Benkendorf in front of his face, and then "blamed" himself sadly: "Why was I stupid enough to communicate with that gangster!"
Anyway, Nicholas I's attitude towards cultural people was complicated. It was a stick and a carrot. He was brutal in killing people, and he was as generous as a rich man and a second generation in giving money. Li Xiao's royalties during this period were enough
Don't be too happy, it's enough to repair his dilapidated house in Haymarket.
